Chapter 878: Chapter 376: Sleep Together at Night_2

Throughout the entire university period, She maintained herself well.

But ever since graduating, heavy work pressure and irregular schedules started to take a toll on her skin and figure.

During these ten months in Shen City, the 997 work routine coupled with immense pressure made her condition deteriorate rapidly, and her hair only received simple care.

She indeed started to look ”ugly”.

Standing next to the improved Tang Song, the competitive Liu Qingning naturally found it a bit unbearable.

She didn’t want him to see her bad side.

But so what?

Tang Song reached out to hold her oval face, gently caressing her plump cheeks, and said softly, ”You’re not ugly or fat at all; all the changes are unique, and every bit of flesh perfectly fits my aesthetic.”

”Oh my!” Liu Qingning brushed away his hand, blushing, ”You...why are you talking so strangely today, where did you learn this nonsense from? Don’t be so cheeky in the future!”

From childhood to now, despite knowing Tang Song for so many years, it was the first time she heard him say something so sappy.

It even gave her goosebumps, yet she didn’t mind it at all.

Tang Song chuckled softly, without speaking, just looking at her with a smile.

Liu Qingning tidied her hair, quickly walked up to him, and, with her back to him said, ”How long did you wait downstairs?”

”Not long, I calculated your off-work time.”

”Did you eat yet?”

”No.”

A gentle push came from the side, Liu Qingning laughed playfully, ”Let’s go, I will take you to eat something delicious!”

Her birthday is on October 13, roughly two months older than Tang Song.

She occasionally likes teasing him by calling them ”sister and brother”.

”Okay, thank you, Sister Qingning.” Tang Song laughed and blinked, reaching out to rub her head forcefully.

Her hair was instantly messed up.

”Can’t you just talk without using your hands? Humph! My hairstyle was already bad, now you’ve made it worse.”

With a height difference of 20 centimeters, Liu Qingning had no power to resist.

”I still prefer your high ponytail and straight bangs; it seems to suit your face better.”

”Come on, we graduated three years ago; now that I’m a leader, sporting a student hairstyle would make people look down on me.”

...

Thunder rumbled in the sky as raindrops pattered down.

Liu Qingning grabbed his hand and led him inside a restaurant with a quick run, known as the ”Michelin” of Kexing Science Park called La Coco.

The two ordered signature stir-fried beef, mashed pepper skin eggs, and Honghu lotus root soup with pork bones.

Since she was determined to lose weight, she only drank a bowl of soup.

Most of the time, she just watched Tang Song eat heartily, her eyes gleaming and curved like two crescents.

Just past 7 PM.

Liu Qingning’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up, quickly answered, and said, ”Hello, Shuangshuang, sorry, I haven’t checked my phone.”

”Yes, I’m off work, but I have plans tonight, so I won’t join you guys for dinner.”

”It’s not because of work; Tang Song came to Shen City to see me, so...sorry, help me apologize to Xiang Kai.”

”Hey, Shuangshuang, why aren’t you saying anything?”

”Alright, I’m hanging up now, bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingning furrowed her brows slightly.

As soon as Liu Shuang heard that Tang Song was in Shen City, she suddenly became odd.

It was probably because Xiang Kai was next to her.

She knew her colleagues and classmates all had lukewarm impressions of Tang Song.

But for her, the most important thing now was to be with Tang Song; everything else had to be put aside.

Tang Song paused his actions, curiously asked, ”Is it Liu Shuang and Xiang Kai?”

”Yes, it was them.” Liu Qingning pursed her lips and whispered, ”Xiang Kai is currently working at an investment company, often traveling between Shanghai and Shen Cities, so I’ve had limited contact with him, that’s why I haven’t mentioned him to you.”

”Haha, no need to explain, I trust you.” Tang Song reached out and pinched her chubby cheek.

To his first love Qing Mei, he naturally felt moved, always secretly wanting to have some intimacy.

He could feel that this time meeting Liu Qingning, she seemed to have opened her heart, not resisting his intimate gestures at all.

This likely has something to do with her planning to buy a house in Yan City, probably intending to confess to him.

”Don’t touch me randomly.” Liu Qingning swatted his paw away, blushing, ”I’m not explaining this to you, just afraid someone might overthink.”

”Alright, you’re right then.” Tang Song smiled and shook his head.

Back when he first arrived at Imperial City, Liu Qingning and he hadn’t graduated yet, and work wasn’t too busy.

She often took him to gatherings, in case a referral was needed in the future, it was indeed a good network, at least getting familiar.

Every time he dined and chatted with her classmates and friends, though appearing calm outwardly, he was actually quite uneasy inside, even feeling somewhat inferior.

After all, they were all top students from Imperial University, truly outstanding individuals.

Their discussions were about options for domestic and foreign graduate schools and their expectations for future academic and career prospects.

Among them, Xiang Kai was well-known, being a local from Imperial City, rich second generation, and star second generation.

Driving sports cars, wearing Rolex, handsome, confident, and charming.

At that time, he could sense Xiang Kai liked Liu Qingning, without trying to hide it.

The other party had never considered him a competitor.

In fact, besides Xiang Kai, there were quite a few alumni interested in Liu Qingning.

Indeed, in the computer science department, someone like her with such a good figure was truly a rare gem.

This matter had previously dealt quite a blow to Tang Song; the gap between him and those people was indeed huge.
