TMLSG -Chapter 75 The Other Half of the Future

Tang Zhen didn’t think too much when she gave her answer.

She just wanted to see Robert step onto an even more spectacular stage.

She wanted to see the members of Future shine brighter and brighter.

She wanted to see Yanjing always succeed smoothly in everything he did.

Yanjing’s lips curved slightly. “Alright, wife, I’ll win for you to see.”

But among the male lead’s competitors was the female lead.

Last time, it didn’t matter.

After all, she had worn a mask back then, and the male lead didn’t know who was competing with him for the Peace Apple.

But this time, the female lead appeared as Li Ran, the captain of Fate.

111 chuckled: 【Zhen, both the male and female leads are top students—they have to rely on strength. This in-person interview, whoever wins that slot, will do so based on ability.】

After all, this was a team competition—not an individual honor, but the glory of all members.

Situations like letting someone win intentionally were absolutely impossible.

So whoever lost would naturally accept it, because it was a matter of lacking ability—not anyone else’s fault.

They talked about the in-person interview for a long time, to the point that Tang Zhen forgot to send him away.

The next morning, when she woke up from her sleep, the first thing she saw was the male lead’s sleeping face. That’s when she realized she hadn’t shooed him away last night!

The male lead, asleep, was perfectly quiet. His eyelashes were long.

She finally saw him properly without a washed face. It wasn’t messy—there was a neatness different from usual, a kind of understated refinement.

She reached out, intending to lightly touch his stubble, but barely a moment after she extended her hand, it was grabbed.

Yanjing brought her hand to his mouth, kissed it several times, and said, “Good morning, wife.”

111: 【Ahhhh, Zhen!!!】

Perhaps it was the tranquility of this moment, or maybe something else, but Tang Zhen’s beautiful eyes curved slightly as she replied, “Good morning, husband.”

Yanjing opened his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips.

111 had recently read online: when you see someone you like, you can’t help but greet them with a smile every time.

No matter that the male lead’s current affection toward the supporting female was 36—or even lower—he smiled every time he saw her. 111 was already thrilled.

Candy like this is something you have to dig out yourself—that’s what makes it sweeter.

After all, the male lead and supporting female weren’t officially paired, so any little sweetness was already satisfying.

Tang Zhen quickly withdrew her hand. “It’s getting late. I have an exam today.”

Yanjing responded with a nod, “I’ll take you to school.”

By the time Tang Zhen got up, Aunt Yu had prepared a hearty breakfast.

Having an aunt like Aunt Yu was truly a blessing.

After breaking up with the male lead, she might not cling to him, but she certainly couldn’t let go of Aunt Yu.

Today, Aunt Yu had prepared all of Tang Zhen’s favorite foods. Considering she had been sick recently, Aunt Yu had been extra kind these past couple of days—though she had always been nice.

After breakfast, Yanjing accompanied Tang Zhen to the school gate. Tang Zhen went to take her exam, while he went on to the lab.

When he arrived at the lab, a few teammates were still having breakfast.

Zhang Mian invited Yanjing to eat some more.

After refusing, Yanjing chatted with the teammates about the interview scheduled for the next day.

Zhang Mian sipped his soy milk. “Forget Shen Qi for now. This Fate team… I actually find them interesting.”

A fully female team, competing against their all-male team, led by someone who had previously wanted to join their team—there was no denying they were formidable.

Shen Quanli bit into a fried dough stick and said, “This team was just formed recently; their foundation isn’t strong yet. How capable they are—we’ll see in this interview.”

Yanjing, sitting on a chair, twirled a pen in his right hand and said lightly, “No matter who the opponent is, or what their situation is, our goal is only one thing.”

“That is—win.”

Shen Quanli laughed heartily. “Opportunities like this are rare, so of course we have to win!”

On the 30th, Tang Zhen and Yanjing, along with the others, drove to the interview location.

It had been a while since she’d seen Robert, and he seemed even smarter than before.

“Zhenzhen, long time no see.”

Unexpectedly, Robert now called her Zhenzhen.

Tang Zhen: “Robert, long time no see.”

“Zhenzhen, when will you be on vacation?”

Tang Zhen cupped her face with both hands. “In a little over a week.”

“When you’re on vacation, come play with me, okay?”

Tang Zhen hesitated before replying, “If I have time.”

She didn’t want to make casual promises, even to a robot.

The interview was held in a large classroom, and many teams had already arrived by the time they got there.

There were a lot of people today.

This interview was different from the previous competition for the New Year event. The topics this time were broader, similar to a presentation or a graduation thesis defense.

For this opportunity to visit the top laboratory, Yanjing and several teammates had been busy preparing over the past few days.

As soon as they entered the classroom, students from other schools approached to discuss academic questions.

Yanjing and his friends were immediately surrounded, drawing attention like male celebrities.

Yanjing was tall—almost half a head taller than those around him.

From one glance, he could see Tang Zhen.

Their eyes met in the air. He smiled at her and then continued talking to others.

111 squealed again: 【Zhen, the male lead really loves to smile at you.】

Tang Zhen noticed it too.

Every time she saw him, he was smiling.

Zhang Wei leaned against Tang Zhen and said, “Zhenzhen, my brother gave me a task today—to take good care of you. I heard this was the instruction from the Future team captain.”

Tang Zhen felt a little embarrassed. Her fair cheeks turned slightly red, looking like a soft marshmallow, tempting one to take a bite.

Zhang Wei was about her age—maybe even younger. Why did she need Zhang Wei to take care of her?

While they were talking, a new group of people arrived behind them.

All unfamiliar faces—likely from other schools.

Seeing Yanjing surrounded by people asking questions, someone remarked, “B University’s top student, I hear he’s smart and handsome. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be with him in the future.”

Another added, “I heard he’s emotionally stable too. When Robert got into a fight over sugar, he was in a bad mood, but he didn’t lose his composure. Later, he regained control, showing his ability. Honestly… I envy whoever becomes his other half.”

“Having such a stable and excellent boyfriend—how happy must that person be.”

Tang Zhen heard these words from the front.

The male lead’s “other half in the future”?

That would be the female lead.

They would have their destined encounter.

The female lead was so outstanding—her happiness was only natural.

Tang Zhen didn’t know what she was thinking.

She felt like she was thinking a lot, and at the same time, nothing at all.

As she cleared her mind, she heard a deep, amused voice.

“My other half in the future? Isn’t she… right here?”
