Chapter 172: The Gorgeous Nest of the Canary
May 24, 2023, cloudy to overcast, 18-27°C.
Even Tang Song, who had an excellent biological clock, slept in after a tiring night.
By the time he opened his eyes, it was already 8 a.m.
He glanced at the beautician curled up beside him and couldn’t help but smile.
Last night could be considered a true all-out performance.
With the assistance of the [Heartthrob's Kidney Boost Capsule], and since the beautician was just a novice who hadn't seen much of the world, she surrendered right away, being completely overpowered by him.
Pulling his hand away from Zhao Yaqian, he sat up and winced slightly.
He felt a twinge of soreness and his legs were a bit weak.
Even after the repair from the [Heartthrob Aura (LV3)], it was still a bit uncomfortable.
While in the bathroom, Tang Song checked his unread messages on his phone, raising his eyebrows.[Tianc Capital - Wang Miao: “Little Tang, today Mr. Xie is coming to our company to discuss financing. You should come along, right? Let’s have lunch together; my treat.”]

The message had just come in not long ago.
Tang Song opened the picture and had to admit that this Manager Wang was quite good-looking.
Although she was in her 40s, she had maintained herself well and had a curvy figure.
However, in his absolutely sage state, he felt no stirring inside.
Moreover, when it came to this type of voluptuous older sister, Wen Ruan was much better.
In this aspect, he had personally experienced it.
Returning to the main chat interface, he saw another message below.
[Lin Muxue: “Tang Song, do you work in Yunxi Tower too? I remember you mentioned it in the elevator last time, but I didn’t catch the specific floor.”]
[Lin Muxue: “I live in the nearby Yan Jing Huating community. Have you and Qianqian woken up yet? Want to grab breakfast together? I know a bun shop here that’s particularly delicious.”]
Tang Song glanced at the peacefully sleeping Zhao Yaqian beside him and casually replied, “Qianqian hasn’t woken up yet. Let’s do it next time.”
Putting his phone down, he remembered that he hadn’t had a chance to tell Qianqian about the apartment.
He opened the system interface, entered the [Companion] module, and clicked on the portrait card.
[Companion: Zhao Yaqian (19 years old)]
[Role: Isha Beauty Salon - Beautician]
[Height: 180CM, Weight: 64KG]
[Physique: 66, Stamina: 64, Agility: 55, Insight: 59]

[Development Plan Task ② The Gorgeous Nest of the Canary]
[Task Content: The safe canary can’t wait to have her own nest. Ask Zhao Yaqian to accept her own house and, according to her preferences and comfort, fully consider aesthetics and taste to redecorate the house, preparing everything she desires to create her own gorgeous nest.]
[Task Reward: Growth Progress 10%, Canary Gift Pack *1]
[Task Progress: Not Completed]
[Note: The size of the gift pack depends on the task completion degree; the better the decoration, the larger the gift pack.]
After reading the task introduction, Tang Song rubbed his chin thoughtfully. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel fire.net
If it was just to arrange things according to Qianqian’s wishes, it should be completed quickly.
After all, she hadn’t seen much of the world; the house itself was already well-decorated and furnished with appliances.
He just needed to buy some bedding, clothes, bags, daily necessities, and so on.
However, considering the size of the gift pack, he still needed to put some more thought into it.
Dressing up, he went downstairs for a bit of activity and enjoyed a warm breakfast, finally alleviating the soreness in his waist and abdomen.
Tang Song brought the breakfast back upstairs.
After washing up, taking care of his skin, and doing his hair, he looked at the time and saw it was already 9:30.
He reached into the quilt and softly said, “Qianqian, it’s time to get up for breakfast.”
“Oh, okay, brother.” Zhao Yaqian opened her dreamy eyes and licked her lips as she sat up.
The soft quilt slipped down, exposing a large area of her fair skin.
Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Zhao Yaqian playfully smiled and jumped off the bed, directly tackling Tang Song back onto the bed.
“Hey, hey, hey, can’t you not make a surprise attack with your big build?” Tang Song hurriedly hugged her tightly.
With Zhao Yaqian’s height of 180 cm and weight of 64 kg, her sudden tackle had quite an impact.
It was a bit overwhelming for the still somewhat weak Tang Song.
“Got it!” Zhao Yaqian giggled.
Tang Song looked at the enthusiastic beautician and helplessly said, “I meant actual eating; I bought you some braised pork buns and millet porridge.”
“Mm-mm-mm—slurp slurp—”
Tang Song ruffled her smooth, wavy hair and gently said, “Qianqian, the environment of the Tiankuo Garden you’re living in isn’t great. It’s time to change houses.”
“Uh-huh, I know, brother.” Zhao Yaqian excitedly replied, “My cousin and I have been considering moving lately. Now that I have money, I can pick well!”
“I bought you an apartment in Yan Jing Huating. You should go to Anjia Real Estate (Chengyun Road Store) in the next few days to handle the procedures, and remember to bring your ID… oww! Don’t bite me!” Tang Song winced, showing his teeth.
Zhao Yaqian, with a face full of disbelief, exclaimed, “Song Ge… are you really giving me an apartment? A place in Yan Jing Huating?”
She had been very taken with the high-end environment of the neighborhood after visiting Xiaoxue’s house yesterday.
Thinking about whether she could find a rental there, she never expected to hear her boyfriend say he would gift her a place today. It felt like a dream.
“Of course it’s true; when have I ever lied to you?” Tang Song caressed her smooth cheek and instructed, “Qianqian, I have one more task for you; you must complete it seriously.”
“Tell me, husband; I’ll do whatever you say!” Zhao Yaqian eagerly nodded, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Having her own home had always been her dream.
Especially a luxury apartment like Yan Jing Huating.
“The apartment is well-decorated, but since the previous owner had a particular style, once you get the keys, redecorate it according to your preferences. Get everything you want inside, and also fully consider aesthetics and taste…”
Tang Song continued to explain his requirements.
Watching the beautician stammering and looking confused, he pondered for a moment and said, “If you can’t manage it, just ask Lin Muxue to help you as a strategist.”
He had seen Xiaoxue’s vlogs on Douyin, and from her videos, it was clear that she was an absolutely refined girl.
At least in terms of aesthetics, she was exceptional and knew a lot about high-end products.
“Uh-huh—” Zhao Yaqian nodded. She had been a bit anxious, worried she wouldn’t be able to complete Song Ge’s task.
Thinking of Xiaoxue living in Yan Jing Huating, her heart felt steady again.
If it came to it, she could just copy Xiaoxue’s decorative style.
…
At 11 a.m.
Yunxi Tower.
“Ding—” The elevator stopped on the 29th floor, and the silver metal door slowly opened.
Lin Muxue walked out with a composed demeanor.
Dressed in a deep gray women’s suit, with black stilettos, her makeup was exquisite, her bare legs long and fair, and she held a blue work badge.
She looked like a typical elite female white-collar worker.
Pretending to be nonchalant, she walked around the corridor, scanning the nameplates of several companies, only to return to the elevator with a hint of disappointment.
She reached out, pressed the button for the 30th floor.
“Ding—” She gracefully exited the elevator.
Seeing the large sign for “Songmei Fashion Trade Co., Ltd.” on the wall, Lin Muxue’s heart raced.
It must be it!
A strong intuition surged within her.
Zhao Yaqian had only mentioned that her boyfriend was in the clothing business; she didn’t know the specifics.
After finishing her work today, she had planned to start from the 4th floor and check one by one.
There was a clothing company on the 8th floor, but the result was disappointing.
In contrast, the name “Songmei” sounded much more reliable.
“Tap tap tap—” The sound of high heels clicked against the marble floor.
Just as she approached the company entrance, she saw a somewhat familiar woman walk out.
With a clean and light makeup look, voluminous brown long hair, and a chic office outfit, she exuded a poised and elegant posture.
A perfect urban beauty.
It was her!
As a woman who loved comparisons, Lin Muxue had taken note of the outstanding females she had encountered in the elevator of the building.
For example, she had encountered
this woman a few times and had a very deep impression of her.
The first time they met, there had been some small sparks in the elevator, and she had felt the urge to put this woman in her place.
In a flash, a light bulb went off in Lin Muxue's mind.
Her mouth gradually fell open as she… remembered!
It seemed that the first time they met, this woman had indeed been accompanied by a guy!
It appeared to be Tang Song!
