TMLSG -Chapter 55 The Most Important

Lu Yu snorted. “I don’t believe Yanjing just wouldn’t come over.”

Yes—whether it was playing music or pounding on the wall, her and Li Ran’s goal was simple: to see Ren Yanjing.

Unfortunately, despite encountering several front desk staff, they never actually saw him.

Zhang Mian and Shen Quanli also came by to knock on the door, but they didn’t open it.

Lu Yu looked annoyed. “She’s way too clingy, isn’t she? Won’t even let anyone in?”

Normally, if the noise from next door was too loud, the residents would have come to negotiate.

Yet from start to finish, Ren Yanjing never appeared.

Since Lu Yu had been making noise continuously, they also missed hearing Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing leave the room.

By the time they found out that Ren Yanjing and Tang Zhen had moved to the presidential suite, half an hour had already passed.

Lu Yu really wanted to curse. “He’s treating this girlfriend way too well.”

A simple knock on the door could have solved it—why upgrade the room?

Money burning a hole in his pocket.

Li Ran said, “Forget it, next time.”

She could have gone directly to Ren Yanjing’s door, but Tang Zhen was inside. She didn’t want to do that.

After all, they were all at the same school; there would be plenty of other chances.

Li Ran didn’t even know why she felt this way.

Whenever Tang Zhen was around Ren Yanjing, she didn’t want to approach him.

She only wanted to meet him when he was alone.

Unfortunately, he was rarely unaccompanied.

The next morning, the group met in the buffet restaurant on the first floor.

Shen Quanli grabbed a huge pile of food, plopped onto a chair, and complained, “Yesterday was wild. Someone was playing music in their room; I went to knock, and they didn’t even open the door. Are they out of their minds?”

Zhang Mian comforted him, “Relax. When you’re out, you’ll meet all kinds of people.”

Then he looked at Tang Zhen. “How’s my sister-in-law today?”

Tang Zhen smiled slightly. “I’m fine, thank you for asking.”

Shen Quanli exclaimed, “So we can go to the beach today?”

Tang Zhen: “Yeah.”

Ren Yanjing took out his phone to check his notes. “The internet says to avoid cold water during your period.”

Tang Zhen lowered her eyes. “I’m not playing in the water.”

Ren Yanjing brushed her face lightly with the back of his hand. “Good girl.”

The group spent the entire morning at the beach, only driving back to the school vicinity in the afternoon.

It was getting late, so they decided to have dinner out.

No need to drive anymore, so Shen Quanli ordered a few bottles of beer.

“After we secured the performance spot yesterday, we haven’t celebrated with a drink yet.”

He got excited. “Come on, everyone, let’s toast later!”

Tang Zhen hadn’t properly drunk alcohol before.

She had tasted it once, found it bitter, and never drank again.

But with everyone so cheerful today, she couldn’t resist and took a sip.

Shen Quanli laughed. “How’s my sister-in-law’s tolerance?”

Tang Zhen tilted her head slightly, her hair falling playfully to one side. “Should be okay?”

“Then let’s toast again—here’s to a bright future, getting stronger every time, and always beating that little brat Shen Qi!”

Zhang Mian and the others couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Tang Zhen drank two beers in one go, feeling a little tipsy.

She thought she wasn’t drunk, but she was.

When she drank, she became clingy, holding onto Ren Yanjing’s arm without letting go.

She didn’t complain or talk; she just looked at him with those big, watery eyes.

Ren Yanjing felt his heart melt. He kissed her cheek. “Drunk?”

Tang Zhen shook her head.

“Does anything feel uncomfortable?”

Tang Zhen shook her head again.

She just felt a little dizzy, but otherwise she was fine.

Shen Quanli and the others had also had too much to drink, so no one teased anyone else.

Zhang Mian scoffed. “A year’s passed, and Quanli still can’t handle his liquor.”

He always passed out after just a little. Yet he kept pushing for more. Every time someone started drinking, it was him.

After they’d drunk enough, Ren Yanjing paid the bill and then took Tang Zhen home.

But Tang Zhen didn’t want to take the car; she just wanted to walk.

Ren Yanjing let her.

The two of them walked under a sky full of stars.

111 fangirled again. 【Tsk tsk tsk, is this an old-fashioned date?】

An old-fashioned date meant strolling along the sidewalks.

They passed many different coffee shops, several bakeries, and dozens of traffic lights. It took over half an hour to finally get home.

Aunt Yu wasn’t home, so Ren Yanjing called her to ask how to make a hangover soup.

Aunt Yu, worried he might mess it up, decided to come over and make it herself.

While Ren Yanjing was on the phone, Tang Zhen stood by his side, clinging to him with her big, moist “doe eyes.”

A drunk kitty could be way too clingy.

Ren Yanjing’s Adam’s apple bobbed. After hanging up, he asked Tang Zhen, “Do you want some water?”

She shook her head.

“Want to play with Zhenguai for a while?”

She shook her head again.

Alright. Ren Yanjing confirmed: Tang Zhen loved to cling to him when she was drunk.

And only him.

How could a drunk baby be so adorable?

Ren Yanjing held her in his arms and kissed her cheek. “I’ll make a hot water bag first. Then you can play with Zhenguai for a bit, okay?”

He ordered a hot water bag, and while heating water in the kitchen, Tang Zhen sat on the floor playing with Zhenguai.

During this time, Tang Zhen’s mother sent her several messages.

Though she was a little drunk, she still retained some clarity.

She knew all of her mother’s messages were about breaking up with Ren Yanjing.

Tang Zhen glanced at her phone, saw the messages were long, and didn’t feel like reading them.

She didn’t know how Ren Yanjing had set Zhenguai up, but the robot kept sliding over to his side every now and then, waiting for his commands.

Tang Zhen rested her chin on her hands, feeling a little upset.

So when Ren Yanjing came out, she mumbled, all clingy and fuzzy, “I feel like I’m not as important in Zhenguai’s heart as you are.”

Ren Yanjing found it amusing.

He knew she was drunk; normally, she wouldn’t say this.

“I’ve known Zhenguai longer,” he said. After all, he was the one who developed it.

The setting where Zhenguai periodically slides to him to receive commands was designed so he could check on it from time to time.

Currently, Zhenguai was still a half-finished product, with lots of room to improve.

It wasn’t perfect yet.

But he couldn’t wait to introduce Zhenguai to her.

Tang Zhen propped her chin up. “But I really like it.”

From the very first moment she saw the little robot, she had liked it.

It had said it liked her the most.

Yet it often left her side to go to Ren Yanjing.

When drunk, Tang Zhen got spoiled, all clingy and gooey. “I’m not that important in its heart.”

Ren Yanjing patted Zhenguai’s round head, sending it to play aside, then sat down next to Tang Zhen.

He explained, “Robots naturally follow commands.”

“You might not be first in its heart.”

“But—” Ren Yanjing cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, yet continued, “You are the most important in my heart.”
