Chapter 1968: Chapter 654: Filling the Pits Together (Daily Life)
November 24, 2023, Friday, clear, -4~3℃.
Bamboo Stream Community.
In the early morning, the window was still enveloped in a silent blackness.
Tang Song slowly opened his eyes in the warmth and fragrance.
Turning his head, he looked at Gao Mengting sleeping soundly beside him, a smile appearing on his face.
Accompanied by a text notification of a bank transaction, Tang Song crept out of bed.
He put on thick clothes and went downstairs.
He opened the unit door.
A gust of cold wind, carrying the scent of frost and snow, surged in instantly.
Tang Song tightened the collar of his jacket, exhaled a puff of white breath, and stepped into this silent pre-dawn.
The lawn and the holly trees by the roadside were covered with a thin layer of white frost.
The perceived temperature in the morning was extremely low; without his exercise gear here, he simply abandoned the idea of a morning run and opted for a slow walk instead.
When the time seemed right, Tang Song took out his phone, put on his Bluetooth earphones, and dialed Liu Qingning for a voice call.
The call was answered almost immediately, and soon the phone echoed with the lazy voice of his first love: "Morning, Song."
"Good morning, darling."
"Ah!" Liu Qingning exclaimed lightly, somewhat flustered and shy at his sudden form of address, "Why... why did you suddenly call me that?"
"You don’t like it?"
The two chatted casually like this, on and off.
About the weather in Yan City and Shen City, and about the upcoming business layout of Xuanji Light Realm.
Tang Song wandered slowly through the deserted community, listening to the treadmill’s rhythmic "da da da" sound.
They talked for over half an hour.
Once Liu Qingning finished her morning exercise, they hung up the call.
Unknowingly, Tang Song had already walked out of the community gate and turned the street corner.
A familiar shop, steaming hot, came into view.
Looking at the familiar roujiamo, Tang Song couldn’t help but smile.
He took out his phone, snapped a photo, and shared it with Cheng Qiuyu.
He sent a message: "(•̀ω•́)✧ Are you up? Want me to bring you your favorite roujiamo with extra spicy sauce?"
As a true Sichuan girl, Qiuqiu’s ability to eat spicy food was incredible.
When they had hotpot together before, her sauce bowl was nearly full of bright red chili oil.
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
[Qiuqiu: "(´•ω•`) No need, we bought a lot of ingredients yesterday. Today, Lingling and I are making breakfast and lunch together; the kitchen in the new home is fully equipped and hasn’t been used yet."]
Tang Song: "Alright then, I’ll visit another day to taste your skills."
[Qiuqiu: Looking forward.jpg (A meme of a cat with an expectant expression)]
Seeing Qiuqiu’s reply, Tang Song smiled gently.
Unbeknownst to him, the formerly aloof and silent Qiuqiu had become much more open and talkative.
Especially after moving out of Bamboo Stream Community and living with a junior, the change was even more noticeable.
Recently, she even shared some interesting stories with him in the evenings.
It’s worth mentioning that Qiuqiu hadn’t had nightmares for quite a while.
Today, while going to the company, he just happened to check on her [Dream Flower Seed] to see how it was growing.
For this "dark-hearted" flower girl, Tang Song cared a lot.
And in order for the [Dream Flower Seed] to grow well, besides absorbing negative emotions, his kindness and goodwill would also make the flower seed thrive.
Thinking a bit, he held the voice button and said softly: "Send me a photo, haven’t seen you in a while, I miss you."
After sending out the message, for once, Qiuqiu did not reply right away.
Even after waiting for a while, there was still no response, causing Tang Song to shake his head with a light smile.
Walking into the breakfast shop, he packed two breakfast portions and turned to head towards the community gate.
The eastern skyline revealed a splendid dawn.
"Ding-dong——" the WeChat notification sounded.
[Qiuqiu: Mirror selfie.jpg]
In the picture, Qiuqiu was wearing a fitted purple yoga top and pure black high-waisted yoga pants, with orange-brown long hair neatly styled into a playful bun, exposing her smooth forehead and graceful swan neck.
She turned sideways to face the mirror, her body’s curves accentuated by the light, appearing firm, full, tall, and sexy.
It was evident that she was meticulously dressed up, even with lipstick applied.
Tang Song exhaled a puff of white breath, feeling a slight warmth in his heart.
After all, with a partner who’s a standard amateur, he can’t truly satisfy him.
Seeing such a lively photo of Qiuqiu early in the morning inevitably stirred some emotions.
After all, Qiuqiu is known as "Little Suyu," with top-tier looks and body.
Immediately, his eyes froze, falling upon the familiar room setting in the photo’s background; he blinked forcefully.
This... isn’t this Shen Yuyan’s room?
The decoration by the bed, the room layout, the aroma diffuser in the corner... the more he looked, the more familiar it appeared.
Tang Song’s eyebrows twitched as he immediately typed a reply: "Qiuqiu looks beautiful. By the way, I never asked, which community did you and Lingling move to?"
[Qiuqiu: "Yuhua District North City Garden Community, Block 4, Unit 1, 1204."]
[Qiuqiu: Location.map]
WTF! It actually is!
He just had Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing move from there to Lanfeng International Apartment, only for Lingling and Qiuqiu to move in next!
That’s... quite a coincidence.
Besides, he still had the access card for North City Garden, which saved some trouble.
Come to think of it, Shen Yuyan and Xu Qing, Cheng Qiuyu and Yao Lingling, were all good friends and close companions.
This matched pairing combination... seems quite nice.
As if realizing something.
Tang Song couldn’t help but feel an unusual emotion rising within.
...
Returning upstairs.
Tang Song placed the still steaming breakfast on the dining table and opened the door to the master bedroom.
There he saw Gao Mengting sitting at the vanity, seriously putting on makeup.
