Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Upon seeing that message and the familiar emoji, a silly smile instantly blossomed on Cheng Qiuyu’s cold face.

She quickly replied, ”Good morning, Tang Song.”

The two exchanged a few words about trivial matters.

By the time she got up, got dressed, and opened the door to leave her room, the smell of food had already filled the living room.

Li Meihua was busy with an apron on, smiling and calling out, ”Qiuqiu, come eat. Mom made preserved egg and lean meat porridge for you.”

”Oh.” Qiuqiu responded and sat down at the dining table.

Soon, hot porridge, buns, and some side dishes were served one after another.

The sounds of eating filled the air.

Although there was still some distance between the mother and daughter, the atmosphere had eased a lot compared to before.

During the meal, Li Meihua looked at her daughter, who was almost unnaturally beautiful, and started talking about the house.

”...You wouldn’t believe it, that Mr. Luo is really capable! He told me yesterday to rest easy, that this matter will definitely be resolved within this week! Not only can we get all the money back, but they’ll also...pay us a large sum! When you go back, you can go to work without worries.”

She paused, then asked tentatively in a somewhat ingratiating tone, ”By the way, when could we invite Tang Song over again? So that we can properly thank him?”

Qiuqiu paused her motion of drinking porridge and, after a brief silence, said quietly, ”Let’s talk about it later, he’s...he’s very busy, probably doesn’t have the time.”

”Oh, I just want to see him again.” Li Meihua sighed and muttered, ”Today we are going back to our hometown to burn paper and sweep the grave for your grandmother, we’ll need to stay at least two days. By the time we get back, he’s probably already returned to Yan City.”

Li Meihua was still chattering when she noticed her daughter’s face had already changed.

She quickly shut her mouth and didn’t dare to mention it again.

Qiuqiu had already sunk into a swirl of complex emotions.

Indeed, tomorrow is her mother-in-law’s death anniversary.

October 23rd on the lunar calendar, and this is also her main reason for coming back.

She silently finished her breakfast, freshened up, and then returned to her bedroom, dazing off by herself for a long time.

The sky gradually brightened.

She casually picked up her phone and saw the news messages being frantically posted in her fan group.

Qiuqiu immediately clicked to view.

#Su Yu appears in Jiang City, goddess-like no-makeup look goes viral#

#A candid photo creates the iconic photo of the year#

The news was accompanied by a photo taken by a passerby almost by chance.

In the photo, Su Yu was walking along a path in a morning park, wearing a light-colored sweatshirt, jeans, and a baseball cap.

It captured the moment she removed her mask and turned back.

The wind lifted her long hair, and that bare face looked ethereal and dreamlike.

Cheng Qiuyu paused for a few seconds, immediately saved the photo, and set it as her wallpaper and lock screen.

Then, almost instinctively, she forwarded the news to Tang Song.

She commented, ”So Su Yu is in Jiang City, very close to us. This photo is so beautiful, obviously with no makeup, yet it turned out amazing.”

”Buzz buzz buzz—”

[Tang Song: ”She is beautiful. Actually, you really look a lot like her. If there’s ever a chance, you should attend her fan meetings or meet her and try to cosplay her iconic movie look, you’ll definitely amaze everyone.”]

Cheng Qiuyu stared at the screen, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up.

She hesitated for a moment, finally mustering the courage to type: ”I bought the costume of her character ’Lu Qinxin’ from ’The Seventh Code’ back in college, and I still have it at home.”

[Tang Song: ”Oh? Really? Then can you try it on for me to see?”]

[Tang Song: Curious (emoji)]

Qiuqiu took a deep breath, her fingertips slightly trembling: ”Okay.”

After sending this message, her cheeks instantly turned red hot.

She could almost hear her own heartbeat.

Then, she quickly stood up, opened the wardrobe, and took out the carefully preserved outfit from the back.

As a die-hard fan of Su Yu, how could she not own her idol’s classic character costumes?

She had bought quite a few during university.

But only this set, being of the best quality and her favorite, had been treasured till now.

Her relationship with Tang Song was quite complicated.

The real thawing between them started at that Su Yu fan meeting in Shanghai.

The topics they talked about most often, besides design, were about Su Yu.

She could tell Tang Song genuinely liked Su Yu and was a staunch fan.

If...if she could be more like Su Yu, he would surely like her even more.

Cautiously, she put on the cosplay costume and applied a makeup look similar to the cold and fierce character in the movie.

She picked up the toy gun she had specially bought for the cosplay back then.

Qiuqiu stood in front of the mirror for a glance.

Her expression was a bit unnatural.

The girl in the mirror, tall and well-proportioned, with a cold and chic makeup, looked both cool and dashing.

She bore a 50% resemblance to the movie’s Lu Qinxin.

She then, with an anxious heart, took a full-body photo and sent it over.

Then, like a student awaiting a verdict, she clutched her phone tightly, her heart pounding.

Waiting for the ”examiner’s” response.

But this time, there was no message from Tang Song at all.

She switched between WiFi and data, repeatedly refreshing the chat box, becoming more and more anxious.

Is it not good? Is it too abrupt? Too pretentious? Did he find it off-putting?

Just then.

”Knock knock knock—” There was a sudden knock on the door.

Then, her mother’s distinct loud voice rang out, ”Who is it?!”
