Chapter 36 - 36 35 Actually Quite Handsome
Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Actually Quite Handsome! Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Actually Quite Handsome! Yan City University of Technology, men’s dormitory.
Zhang Wensheng looked at the goddess’s travel updates on social media, his eyes turned green with envy, and he jumped straight up from his bed.
After hesitating for a while, he still didn’t have the courage to send a message.
Gritting his teeth, he patted the quilt and opened a forum app.
He posted in both the car and romance sections, “Sincerely asking what car is this? Let me give up hope.”
The main text read, “I’ve been secretly in love with a high school junior who turned down my movie invitation but went on a road trip with someone else instead. I want to know where I lost.”
Then, he uploaded a photo that included the car’s interior.
It was a photo taken by Zhao Yaqian showing the glove compartment open, filled with snacks.
Perhaps because both the photo and the title were appealing, it quickly garnered many replies.
[Need to Recognize the Defeat: “Great legs! Worthy of the title goddess!”]
[Ice Cream: “Judging by the length of the calf, this girl must be tall, definitely no shorter than 175 cm! Suitable for playing basketball.”]
[Fitness KungFu Master: “Those legs, it would be a waste not to use them to pedal a tricycle.”]
…
All the comments below were praisings about the legs.
Although the photo only showed the slender and straight calves, it still attracted the attention of many lechers.
Zhang Wensheng hurriedly replied below, “Family, can we please stick to the main topic, what car is this exactly?”
After a while, finally, some decent netizens joined in.
[Rocket Husky: “The interior looks unfamiliar, it must have been modified. I have to say the owner has good taste, it’s pretty nice.”]
[Almost Believed It: “Strange, the layout of the interior looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it.”]
…
[High Temperature: “Look at the B-pillar, then look at the glove compartment, isn’t this my beloved Wuling Hongguang S? Interior.jpg”]
Zhang Wensheng was stunned for a moment, immediately clicked to enlarge the photo and compared it.
Sure enough, the overall layout was very similar to the one Zhao Yaqian had posted, and he could almost confirm the model.
“Wuling Hongguang S?” He opened TikTok to search for details and saw the model and price; he instantly relaxed.
Good, definitely not in a relationship!
Zhao Yaqian, such an outstanding girl, had many suitors during school, and she isn’t one to compromise.
This guy didn’t look like a heartthrob, and he was driving a Wuling Hongguang worth only 50,000 yuan. How could he possibly win her over?
Having cleared his thoughts, Zhang Wensheng excitedly opened WeChat and liked Zhao Yaqian’s update.
He commented, “Yaqian is still so beautiful. Who did you go out with? Wuling Hongguang has a lot of space. Take me with you next time. I’ve recently taken up a photography course, my photo skills are awesome!”
After admiring Zhao Yaqian’s beautiful pictures for a while, Zhang Wensheng, seeing notifications popping up now and then, deleted the forum post.
This bunch of lechers really haven’t seen the world; they get excited over a pair of legs.
…
Sky Garden Community.
The Wuling Hongguang slowly stopped in front of building 6, unit 2.
Having had a day of fun, Zhao Yaqian leaned back in her seat, her lips carrying a faint smile.
In the darkness, Zhao Yaqian’s exposed skin looked extraordinarily pale.
Her smooth long hair cascaded along her delicate face onto her heaving chest, her sleeping position very sweet.
Tang Song didn’t immediately wake her but moved the car a bit to make sure it didn’t block others.
Pulling over to the side, he turned off the engine.
The streetlights in the community were dim, and without the noise of the engine, the car’s cabin instantly became dark and quiet, where even her light snoring could be heard.
Tang Song adjusted the back of his seat, inhaling the fragrance of his beautician friend and curiously looked around.
This was a typical old-style residential area, not very large, composed of 6-story buildings without elevators.
The buildings were a bit old, and the landscaping, facilities, and property management were rather poor.
Inside, electric bikes, bicycles, and motor vehicles were parked haphazardly.
Of course, there were some advantages—it was within the urban area, conveniently located, with well-developed surroundings and also in a school district.
A 100 square meter two-bedroom apartment could be secured for about 1.5 million yuan.
Tang Song’s gaze grew slightly distant; his parents’ greatest hope had once been for him to buy a home in Yan City.
Settling down and starting a family.
With his salary and family conditions, if everything went well, he could buy a second-hand apartment in such an old community around the age of 30.
A 30% down payment with a housing provident fund loan.
If his family condition allowed, he might even consider getting a car, just like Brother Guo did.
Of course, that was assuming no accidents occurred.
For instance, a severe illness in the family, unemployment, getting a girlfriend, lending money without getting it back, stocks, funds…
His family background meant he had no capacity to withstand risks. Any setback would delay his plans to buy a house significantly.
Like in his senior year when his father became unemployed and his mother suddenly had to be hospitalized with pneumonia, resulting in a mountain of debt.
He had no choice but to give up on his dream of attending graduate school at Imperial University.
Sending resumes, interning, working hard, becoming a permanent employee, he took on the heavy responsibilities of his family.
It was during those hardest days that the game “Attractive Man Growth Plan” appeared on his computer and became a crucial way for him to relieve his frustrations and stress.
In the three years since graduating, he worked hard, took on side jobs, and lived frugally, helping his family pay off their debts while saving over 40,000 yuan himself.
His mother had fully recovered her health, and the hardware store his father opened in the town was gradually getting back on track.
Of course, the distance from his first love had grown even further.
After accepting reality, he stopped struggling, left Imperial City, and returned to Yan City.
He found a decent job that was close to his parents for easier care, and where housing was relatively affordable, making it possible for him to buy with some effort.
Just when he thought he would live a peaceful and ordinary life, the game became reality, the system descended, and his life took a 180-degree turn.
To this day, he still worried it might all be an elusive dream, so every morning upon rising, the first thing he did was smile, then he’d check the system interface.
“Ding dong ding dong—”
The ringing of the telephone suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere inside the car.
“Mm.” Zhao Yaqian slowly opened her eyes.
Her face was at first puzzled, but she quickly became alert, hurriedly pulled out her phone from her bag, and answered the call.
“Hello, Ting.”
“I’m in…” Zhao Yaqian glanced outside the window, “I’m downstairs, I’ll be up in a moment!”
“Okay, okay, I understand.”
“I know, I really do!” Zhao Yaqian sneakily glanced at Tang Song, “Bye bye.”
She hung up the phone.
Tang Song gathered his thoughts and explained, “I just saw you were sleeping soundly, I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“Thank you, Brother Song.” Zhao Yaqian turned her body toward Tang Song, hesitated and then said, “My room is a bit messy, and there’s another roommate there, she…”
Tang Song raised his right hand and smiled, “I know, you must be tired today. Go back and have a good sleep. I won’t disturb you.”
Zhao Yaqian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her bag, and pulled on the car door handle, “Then I’ll head back first, Brother Song. Be careful on the road, and remember to message me when you get home.”
“Click” the car door opened, and Zhao Yaqian waved cheerfully, “Bye bye~”
“Wait a minute.”
Tang Song followed her out of the car, stopping Zhao Yaqian just as she was about to leave.
He opened the trunk of the car and packed the leftover fruits, snacks, and drinks into a big bag.
“I’ve been dieting recently; I won’t eat these, so please help me finish them off, Teacher Zhao.”
Zhao Yaqian was stunned, quickly waved her hands, “You paid for everything today, I already feel bad, how can I take more?”
“Take it, I bought them for you,” Tang Song said, handing the bag over to her.
Their fingers lightly touched, sending a tingling sensation through them.
Zhao Yaqian’s face turned red, she did not refuse again, carefully took the bag, and slightly bowed, “Thank you, Brother Song!”
“Bye bye~” Tang Song waved at her, then dived into the driver’s seat.
“Clang” the car door closed, and the window rolled down, revealing his smiling face.
In the dim light, the 19-year-old beautician suddenly thought, her programmer friend was quite handsome!
If she could help him take care of his skin, he’d be a real hunk!
“Bye bye~, be very careful on the road.” Zhao Yaqian said farewell again and turned to enter the building.
“Bang!” A loud stomping sound echoed, the sound-activated light in the hallway lit up.
What do you think?
