TMLSG -Chapter 91 Super Scheming

In a way, Tang Zhen was a little intimidated by this “big brother.”

Zhou Xusi seemed far too mature and composed, giving off the impression that he wasn’t easy to get along with.

“Big Brother?” Zhou Xusi instinctively stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

With one hand in his pocket, he stared deeply into her eyes. “This student… do we know each other?”

Tang Zhen froze for a moment before realizing that, in this timeline, they probably didn’t know each other.

Tang Zhen’s mother didn’t marry Zhou’s father until May.

It was only March now.

Ah—so Tang Zhen’s mother had married quickly after all?

Tang Zhen immediately bowed and apologized. “Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.” With that, she ran off immediately.

Zhou Xusi turned back, only catching a glimpse of her skirt slightly lifted by the wind and her high ponytail swaying as she ran.

When his secretary arrived, Zhou Xusi said, “The girl just now—she should be a student from B University Affiliated High School. I want all her information.”

The secretary paused. “Understood.”

Even though he had been far away earlier, he had seen what happened.

He had also heard that “Big Brother” slip out.

Judging by her behavior, she clearly recognized Mr. Zhou, so why did she later claim she got the wrong person?

After leaving Zhou Xusi’s line of sight, Tang Zhen nervously asked 111, “Santiao, I just called Zhou Xusi ‘big brother’… will there be a problem?”

111 casually replied, 【It’s fine, Zhen. He’s not important. Your only task this time is to handle the male lead’s favorability. Everyone else can be ignored.】

Tang Zhen relaxed.

After dealing with Zhou Xusi, Tang Zhen remembered the latest mission—

Establish the scheming persona in front of the male lead.

“Santiao, can this mission be a little more specific?”

111 said, 【Zhen, this is a relatively difficult mission and requires you to be creative.】

【I’ve checked the reward points—it’s 3 life points! Zhen, the higher the reward, the greater the difficulty. You can do this!】

Tang Zhen whispered in surprise, “Three life points?!”

This was the most generous reward she had encountered since starting missions!

111, as her assistant, offered advice: 【Zhen, you don’t need to interact directly with the male lead. You just need to let him know that you are a scheming supporting female.】

Tang Zhen nodded, half understanding.

At this time, the male lead was in the second semester of his freshman year, but he had already founded future and established a lab.

The lab was the one Tang Zhen was familiar with—she had already been there several times. Finding him wouldn’t be difficult.

When Tang Zhen arrived at B University, she waited under a tree near the lab, mentally rehearsing possible scenarios with 111.

111 reminded her, 【You don’t need to interact directly with the male lead, Zhen. You don’t need to truly meet him this time.】

Tang Zhen nodded vigorously. “I remember, Santiao.”

Five minutes later, Ren Yanjing, Zhang Mian, Shen Quanli, and the others appeared at the first-floor staircase almost simultaneously.

They were about to come over.

Tang Zhen followed the plan she had discussed with 111. She gently grabbed a girl who had been sneaking glances at her and loudly said, “Wow, senior, you’re so nice!”

The senior was taken aback and then felt a little shy.

A goddess actually complimented her!

Even though she had been sneaking glances, the other person didn’t mind at all and even praised her!

She was so moved.

The senior stammered, “R-really?”

Tang Zhen nodded vigorously. “Yes! You’re so nice, not like me…” She hesitated for a moment. How was she supposed to describe herself?

Then a lightbulb went off in her head. A word flashed in her mind.

She blinked slightly and said, “Not like me—I’m super scheming.”

The senior looked at Tang Zhen’s earnest, bright eyes and turned her head, covering her mouth to hide a laugh.

Was the junior deliberately teasing her?

Even if she was, it was sweet enough to enjoy.

After saying that, Tang Zhen asked 111, “Santiao, did the male lead hear me?”

111 excitedly replied, 【He heard, he heard! Zhen, he’s watching you right now!】

【Zhen, lock eyes with him just once, let him remember your face—then he’ll know you’re super scheming!】

Tang Zhen clenched her fists. “Okay!”

She tilted her head and looked at Ren Yanjing.

Ten months ago, he looked basically the same as he did now.

The main difference was the expression in his eyes when he looked at her.

After all, they didn’t know each other yet.

When she met his gaze directly, Ren Yanjing’s heart stirred slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and then he quickly looked away.

111 shouted excitedly, 【Zhen! He’s definitely been affected by your scheming! He turned his head away in disdain!】

Just like that senior!

He immediately averted his gaze, showing that same subtle scorn.

This immediate look-away of disdain gave 111 a huge sense of accomplishment!

The method the senior had suggested really worked!

After Ren Yanjing and Zhang Mian left, Tang Zhen sincerely thanked the senior, “Thank you for just now, senior.”

The senior looked puzzled.

Thank for what? Anyway, a polite gesture is enough.

She quickly waved her hand. “What are you talking about, junior? I’m glad I could help!”

The next morning, Tang Zhen woke up still feeling a little dazed.

She had actually met the freshman-year Ren Yanjing.

At that time, he was slightly more immature than he was now, but his brilliance was already impossible to hide.

That version of him already knew she was scheming and would definitely dislike her. That dislike would naturally transfer to the present-day Ren Yanjing.

Tang Zhen pursed her lips and pushed aside all the untimely emotions in her mind.

Once he began to dislike her and his favorability dropped enough, they would naturally break up.

She checked the mission and saw that Mission 29 hadn’t been completed yet. “Santiao, what’s going on?”

111 replied, 【Zhen, your scheming persona isn’t fully established yet. Don’t worry—once it’s solid, you’ll get the reward!】

“Alright.” Tang Zhen said, then suddenly asked, “Will Ren Yanjing have any memory of this?”

111 replied firmly, 【No.】

Ren Yanjing rarely dreamed, but today he did.

He dreamed of Tang Zhen as a high school girl, wearing the B University Affiliated High School plaid uniform and a high ponytail, radiating youthful sweetness.

Even though in the dream they were still apart, he could feel her energy and vitality coming toward him.

In the dream, he didn’t seem to know her yet.

But in the dream, he met her earlier than in real life.

She had a face that looked innocent and easy to trick, yet she claimed she was super scheming.

He couldn’t describe the feeling when he heard that.

Even when he woke up, he still remembered the sudden, crazy flutter in his heart in that moment.

That sudden racing heartbeat, that excitement—he had felt it so vividly in the dream.

Was it because innocence and scheming were intertwined?

That’s why this feeling of excitement—was so intense?
