Rubbing her slightly sore wrist, Xu Qing leaned back and stretched lazily.
Recently, ideas had flowed freely, and she had accumulated quite a bit of draft material.
She planned to save up some more, then take a full week to seriously write a complete short script, and submit it to the company’s short film production department to see if it could be made.
"Ding dong—" the WeChat notification sounded.
Xu Qing opened her phone to check; it was a notification from her WeChat clone.
[Jing: "Qingqing my dear, today my wish finally, finally came true!"]
Xu Qing’s eyes widened instantly and she quickly replied: "What’s going on?"
[Jing: "Today I used a little trick to successfully anger my boyfriend, and then he punished me hard in the car seat, my butt still hurts a bit now."]
[Jing: "I peeked a little, it’s all red!"]
"Hiss~" Xu Qing gasped, her rosy lips slightly parted, "Perverted Jing! You... you..."
She had been spanked by Tang Song too, twice!
If Jing really turned Tang Song into a pervert, she might also suffer.
Imagining herself being spanked by Tang Song on a car seat...
Xu Qing shivered violently.
She’ll have to pay attention in the future, can’t give Tang Song any excuse to spank her!
Clicking the input box, she replied: "Jing, what you’re doing is wrong, you should respect your boyfriend’s preferences."
[Jing: "(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ My boyfriend is super strong, it was really painful. Today I lifted his shirt to touch, and his abs are amazing."]
[Jing: video screenshot.jpg]
Seeing the screenshot, Xu Qing’s face instantly turned red.
It was a screenshot from last time Jing and Tang Song were video chatting!
Looking at the image full of sexual tension, Xu Qing swallowed, just about to click to enlarge.
A notification popped up.
["Jing" withdrew a message]
The picture!? Where’s my big picture!?
Damn Jing! Are you messing with me!
Xu Qing felt she’d definitely lose sleep tonight! She’s really mad now!
August 5, 2023, Saturday, Overcast, 25~33°C.
With the bank account notification sound, Tang Song sat up from bed.
He was full of energy, feeling a surge of vitality.
Running, skipping, fat-burning exercises...
After a set of aerobic exercises, the [Unlimited Energy] outfit he wore was already soaked.
Fortunately, with excellent breathability, it allowed him to stay refreshed at all times.
"Whoosh—" Standing under the shower, he took a serious shower.
Tang Song stood naked in front of the mirror, admiring his now strong and beautiful physique for a while.
A huge sense of achievement surged in his heart.
Although he had the help of system tools, his persistence and self-discipline played a large role, too.
Watching himself get better and better, that wonderful feeling was simply exhilarating!
Now, he was in much better shape than during the peak of his high school physique, and he had even grown a little taller.
He believed his parents would be shocked to see his current self.
Though they’ve seen him in videos, at most they just saw his face.
The improvements in physique and temperament needed to be felt in person to be fully appreciated.
Drying himself off, he walked into the walk-in closet.
Tang Song selected a casual outfit after picking through the clothes.
A loose and simple white T-shirt, slim but not tight light blue jeans, and white sneakers.
The style resembled what he used to wear, just with more attention to the cut and color matching, so his parents wouldn’t find it too unfamiliar.
At 8 in the morning, Tang Song, with everything packed up, drove a Mercedes-Benz S450L out of the YJTC residential area.
One reason he chose this car.
Was because it was spacious and comfortable, allowing for more storage.
Another reason was, the Bentley Continental GT was too flashy, anything excessive could be counterproductive.
Even if he wanted to show off his wealth, there was no need to rush.
Tang Song’s hometown wasn’t far from Yan City, it was in a county just south of Quan City, just over a hundred kilometers away.
By car, it would definitely take no more than two hours.
That’s also why he chose to move back from the Imperial City to Yan City.
The sky was a hazy gray.
Just past 8 in the morning, the town’s streets started getting busier.
Most of the shops along the streets had already opened for business.
Calls of vendors, honks, and conversations melded into one.
People, tricycles, e-bikes, and small cars moved through, stopping and starting.
"Jianying Hardware Store" was located in an inconspicuous corner on the north side of the road, with a storefront width of about three meters.
The sign was blue with white characters, a rolled-up shutter door, and glass with red lettering.
In front of the store were a few boards, basins, mops...
"Oh dear! Our son will arrive before noon, why are you going to collect money now?" Mother Xu Feng pulled Tang Jianying’s arm, "Can’t you wait until after lunch?"
Tang Jianying shook his head, "I called Tiger yesterday, I’ll go over this morning. We’ve known each other for so many years, from the same village, it wasn’t decent of him to do this."
"You’re afraid your son will know and it’ll be embarrassing for you, right?" Xu Feng said with frustration, "I know what you’re thinking."
"Uh..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Tang Jianying’s dark face.
"As if we could actually get the money back; I told you before not to advance any money, now look, we’ve advanced twenty thousand for people’s renovation team..."
Xu Feng complained as she continued to tidy up the shop.
But she knew it was unavoidable.
For a hardware store, relying solely on scattered orders from local residents wouldn’t earn much.
