TMLSG -Chapter 77 Wishes for Yanjing

Zhang Mian could easily deliver these polite words, after all, they had now started a company and he had attended numerous social events, gaining considerable skill in handling such occasions.

He smiled politely, keeping some distance. “Then we’ll wait and see, Ms. Li. But we’re all alumni, so no matter who takes first place, it will be for the school’s honor.”

So Fate didn’t need to fuss too much over winning or losing.

Li Ran glanced at him, catching the implication, and didn’t say anything further. She led her team away.

Once everyone else had left, the remaining group erupted in cheers.

Zhang Wei suggested, “Shall we all hug together and take a photo to show off?”

Shen Quanli was the first to agree enthusiastically, “Sure, sure!”

They linked arms, forming a circle. Tang Zhen was on Zhang Wei’s left, Yanjing on her right.

The photo was taken by a random passerby Shen Quanli had recruited, who stood on a table to shoot from above, making sure everyone’s faces fit in the frame.

The passerby said, “I’ll count 3, 2, 1, then take the photo.”

3…

2…

1…

On the last count, everyone shouted in unison, “Oh yeah!”

Another group photo was captured.

Shen Quanli immediately posted it online with a boast: “Another victorious day.”

Each of the nine young faces in the photo tilted slightly upward, each unique but all smiling brightly, radiating joy as if it could jump out of the screen.

Friends flooded the comments, “Another day to envy!”

“Another day to envy.”

…

Shen Quanli: Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

After securing the visit spot, the next highlight was New Year’s Eve.

Since the new year was almost here, Tang Zhen and Yanjing spent the 31st cleaning the house during the day.

They wore casual home clothes, one holding a mop, the other a cloth, cleaning every corner.

Aunt Yu had been around earlier, but had gone out, likely to buy groceries.

With her around normally, the house was always clean.

But with the new year approaching, a sense of ceremony was necessary.

When they reached Yanjing’s bedroom, Tang Zhen noticed that all the bedding had been put away—the bed in its bare, original state.

Was he planning to sleep in her room from now on?

111 chuckled, 【Obviously, Zhen.】

“But…”

【Zhen, anyway, you two each have a blanket, what’s the big deal?】

【And winter break is coming. The male lead will probably go home soon too. Even at worst, you’ll break up soon, so even if you sleep in the same room, it’s not for many days.】

True.

The days until the breakup were getting shorter.

With less than a week left, Yanjing saw Tang Zhen staring blankly at the empty bed.

He approached naturally and asked, “What style of bedding set do you like, baby?”

Tang Zhen lifted her face slightly. “This one looks fine already.”

Yanjing smiled. “But I’m bored of it.”

He then took out his phone, opened a shopping app, and said, “Let’s pick one you like together.”

111 teased, 【Zhen, choose one with dragons and phoenixes!】

Tang Zhen hesitated, “Santiao, isn’t that only for weddings?”

111: 【So what? It looks good, that’s all that matters.】

Ignoring 111, Tang Zhen ended up picking a pink set with Yanjing that had patterns she liked.

111 couldn’t help but comment, 【Zhen, you two feel like a newlywed couple picking bedding together.】

There was a subtle warmth in the moment.

But a question arose: the set Yanjing chose had only one duvet cover.

There were two beds—what about the other blanket?

111 couldn’t figure it out and decided to let it be for now.

After cleaning in the morning, Tang Zhen went to rehearsal with Yanjing in the afternoon.

Today was Robert’s performance!

Upon arriving at the rehearsal site, a classmate brought over New Year wish plaques.

The classmate explained while handing one to Tang Zhen, “Consider this a little Easter egg. You can write blessings for classmates or friends on it, then hang the plaque on the tree. Tomorrow at this time, you can look back to see if your wishes came true.”

Activities like this, planting a seed today and watching it sprout tomorrow, always bring a sense of hope.

You can’t help but look forward to the same moment next year—wondering what the people who made wishes will be like and how those receiving blessings will feel.

Yanjing and Tang Zhen each received a wish plaque.

Shen Quanli, seeing them, came over and said, “I’ve already hung my wish plaque on the tree. I wonder if it’ll come true next year.”

His wish was for the entire Future team.

He wanted the team to flourish, to keep Fate and Star in check.

It wasn’t that he was unkind—it was because they were competitors. Being generous to opponents would be cruel to oneself, so he wouldn’t do that.

Yanjing got two pens from a nearby classmate, giving the extra one to Tang Zhen.

Taking the plaque, Tang Zhen found a spot where no one else could see, bowed her head, thought for a moment, then wrote:

“Wishing Yanjing, year after year, may all you hope for come true.”

She wished him smooth sailing in life, success in his studies and career.

She wished him and his teammates would remain together year after year.

She wished him happiness.

Even in days without her, may his life be complete, and may every day be good.
