TMLSG -Chapter 57 The Wedding

Tang Zhen happened to be interested in high-society weddings, so she accepted Ren Yanjing’s invitation.

Ren Yanjing first gave her a rough tour of the wedding setup.

It was obvious that the venue was bustling with activity—many people were helping, and there were plenty of beautiful girls moving about.

Each of them wore a cocktail dress and had delicate makeup.

Curious, Tang Zhen asked, “Is the one getting married my cousin Yan’er?”

Ren Yanjing explained, “No, cousin Yan’er doesn’t believe in marriage. It’s cousin Yan’en who’s getting married.”

It had to be said—Ren Yanjing really had a large family; just counting his cousins, there were no fewer than twenty.

When Ren Yanjing was filming with his phone, an idle male cousin came over and asked, “Are you live streaming?”

Ren Yanjing casually nodded.

The cousin’s interest was piqued. “How many viewers? Is it a lot?”

After saying that, he even tidied his hair a little.

Ren Yanli chuckled from the side. “Just one person. Do you still think that’s a lot?”

The cousin was confused, unconvinced. “Just one? Our Ren Yanjing wouldn’t have so few fans, would he?”

Ren Yanli successfully teased him, laughing out loud. “Cousin Yanjing is video calling his girlfriend, streaming to his girlfriend.”

Only then did the cousin realize his misunderstanding, muttering a low laugh and curse: “The bridesmaids were asking me about you just now. I told them you have a girlfriend.”

Ren Yanjing said, “Thanks.”

Tang Zhen continued doing practice questions while video calling Ren Yanjing, occasionally chatting with 111.

111 was live-streaming the “Top Ten Singers of Campus B” competition to her.

【The female lead is even competing in the Top Ten Singers? Why is she so high-profile lately?】

In the original story, the female lead focused entirely on studying, striving for first place in her major every day.

After joining the male lead’s team, she threw herself into robotics and had no free time to participate in other activities.

But now, she had competed in nearly every opportunity where she could shine.

That’s why she was still the female lead—whether it was the sports meet or the Top Ten Singers contest, her performance was flawless.

111 said, 【She sang “Secret Crush Confession.”】

Tang Zhen asked, “Was it good?”

【Although I’m a little picky about her as a person, I can’t criticize her singing. She sang really well.】

Tang Zhen put down her pen, propped her chin in her hands, and blinked. “I want to hear it too.”

111 said, 【Someone will probably upload the video later.】

Today, the “Ren Yanjing Support Group” was spammed by a user named One Fish.

She had shared many clips of Li Ran singing.

One Fish: 【Who is this beautiful person?】

One Fish: 【Pretty face, beautiful voice, who wouldn’t be charmed? Too bad Ren Yanjing didn’t attend the Top Ten Singers contest in person.】

One Fish: 【Wow, my female lead really overperformed today! She sang amazingly!】

Several other users who were close to One Fish in the group supported her.

【Her singing really is good.】

【Sounds great.】

111 had been arguing with Lu Yu the whole day.

Seeing these messages, it mischievously popped back in.

“Has the Zhen-Yan couple shared any sweetness today?” 【Ren Yanjing is video calling his girlfriend, when would he have time to watch the singing contest?】

After sending this, it hid again amidst a flurry of “kick it out, kick it out” comments.

In the evening, Tang Zhen finally saw a video of Li Ran singing.

Her roommate, Tiantian, had forwarded it.

Li Ran wasn’t on par with professional singers, but her emotional expressiveness was strong, drawing listeners into the bittersweet feelings of a secret crush.

Tang Zhen saw many comments below, guessing that the singer must have had abundant secret crush experiences to sing like that.

Some were even curious about who Li Ran’s crush was.

No matter what the female lead did, she seemed capable of doing it excellently. This time, she even took first place.

Tang Zhen quietly liked the video, then put her phone away.

Just as she finished, Ren Yanjing arrived home, bringing her some homemade snacks from his cousin.

When Tang Zhen came out of her room, Ren Yanjing was on a call with Shen Quanli.

“Captain, so many people are saying the winner of the Top Ten Singers competition has a crush on you, hahahaha.”

“She even sang ‘Secret Crush Confession,’ and I heard a lot of people cried listening to it.”

Ren Yanjing said, “Stop joking.”

Shen Quanli, enjoying the spectacle and unfazed by the fuss, added, “No wonder sister-in-law wanted to check in.”

When Ren Yanjing saw Tang Zhen come out, he handed her a few small cookies. “Cousin Yan’en made these. Want to try?”

Tang Zhen took a cookie and casually bit into it, discovering that cousin Yan’en’s cookies were especially delicious.

Shen Quanli said, “Ah, sister-in-law is here? Then I’ll hang up, hang up.”

As soon as Ren Yanjing hung up, he put the Top Ten Singers contest out of his mind. “Good?”

“Mm.”

“Then have another one.”

Ren Yanjing enjoyed watching Tang Zhen eat.

She ate slowly, like a little hamster, obedient and cute.

The next day, Tang Zhen received another message from her mother. Her mother had ordered two dresses for her to try on.

After trying them on, only the waistline needed a little adjustment; everything else was perfect.

Tang Zhen didn’t have many requirements for clothing—she could even look good in a 9.9-yuan street stall dress.

But while she was trying the dresses, 111 gave her emotional feedback: 【Xiao Zhen, looks great! Absolutely beautiful!】

It made Tang Zhen feel shy.

When she returned to school, she overheard Media Arts students discussing Li Ran’s song “Secret Crush Confession.”

Just as Shen Quanli had said, many people claimed they were moved to tears.

Tang Zhen couldn’t help but think that soon, the female lead would achieve her heart’s desire.

Because the day of her official breakup with Ren Yanjing was drawing closer.

Sunday arrived.

Tang Zhen was woken up early by her mother’s call.

As soon as she answered, her mother said, “Last night I told you to come home and you didn’t. Have you left yet?”

Her mother frowned. “If you don’t come home, what about your makeup?”

Tang Zhen said, “I’m not wearing makeup.”

Her mother replied, “Right, your face is naturally beautiful, you don’t need makeup. Otherwise, you’d steal the bride’s spotlight.”

“Make sure I see you at the wedding site. Don’t stand me up.”

Tang Zhen said, “I’ll go.”

She would attend the wedding, but not because her mother demanded it.

She was going because of 111 and Ren Yanjing.

Whenever there was a lively event, it could trigger a mission, and 111 would never let her miss such a golden opportunity.

As for Ren Yanjing, he had invited her to his cousin’s wedding from the start. Since she had agreed, she naturally wouldn’t go back on her word.

That morning, Tang Zhen left with Ren Yanjing.

He was driving the same icy-blue Porsche.

The car sped along the wide highway and arrived at the wedding venue half an hour later.

A few days ago, the site hadn’t been set up yet and looked ordinary.

But now, after everyone’s efforts, the venue was luxurious and exquisite, romantic and warm—each corner dazzling the eyes.

Tang Zhen couldn’t help praising, “So beautiful.”

Her eyes sparkled, and her beautiful face was full of genuine admiration.

Ren Yanjing had contributed to this wedding setup as well.

He had come to help for three consecutive days, video calling Tang Zhen each day.

They had witnessed the venue gradually transform into perfection.

But the view on the video call was nothing compared to seeing it in person.

Seeing Tang Zhen’s shining, beautiful eyes, Ren Yanjing whispered, “Yours will be even more beautiful.”
