Chapter 547: Xiao Jing's Gone Wild!



Chapter 547: Xiao Jing's Gone Wild!

Minghui Mall underground parking lot.

In the silver Mercedes-Benz S450L, Su Yu’s singing echoed in the car through the Burmester sound system.

“Ding—” the WeChat notification tone rang out, cutting off the melody.

【Cheng Qiuqiu: "The design’s done, take a look and let me know if there’s anything off. I’m not going out this weekend, so I can tweak it anytime."】

【Cheng Qiuqiu: image.jpg】

Tang Song opened the image and smiled with satisfaction.

To meet the needs of various application scenarios and brand expansion, the HEYISTUDIO brand had three types of logos designed by Qiuqiu:

Primary Logo, Secondary Logo, and Wordmark.

Tang Song especially liked the Wordmark, written in a smooth, handwritten-style English script. The strokes were delicate and rhythmic, with a slight curvature and connected flow, as smooth as silk.

Trendy, clean, high-end, minimalist, fluid...Just from these three logo designs, one could already see Qiuqiu’s talent and instinct.

And the graphic she made for him was also highly creative.

The background was the one he’d sent her: his upright figure standing before an office floor-to-ceiling window, dressed in formal wear, eyes bright.

The sky had darkened, and the city's neon lights flowed through the night. Directly above him was the HEYISTUDIO wordmark, faintly glowing like starlight, blending seamlessly into the sky outside the window.

It had an indescribable sense of grandeur.

Tang Song replied directly with a voice message: “This is so well done! No changes needed. Thanks, Qiuqiu—I'll send you a gift another day, can’t let you work overtime for nothing.”

【Cheng Qiuqiu is typing... canceled... typing... canceled...】

After a while:

【Cheng Qiuqiu: "Thank you, Mr. Tang."】

Tang Song chuckled, sensing the little subtext.

If it were before, Qiuqiu would’ve definitely refused, using work as an excuse.

But ever since that kiss in the office, she’d opened up a lot more “access” to him—their conversations had become more affectionate.

He chatted with her a bit more.

Then opened Xiaohongshu.

Uploaded the image Qiuqiu sent and created a post, pasting the prepared caption.

【Title: Ding! The main storyline just updated! Come claim your role as a cyber shareholder!】

【Body: For the past month, I’ve been getting tons of DMs asking where I went.

Truth is—I’ve been planning something big.

During my “Take Advice & Transform” phase, not only did my appearance change, but my work and life have also evolved.

I quit my old job and partnered with a friend to start a livestream fashion e-commerce brand.

HEYISTUDIO officially launches today! A completely “everyday people” brand focused on premium women’s fashion.

From being a fashion rookie reworked by all of you, to now launching my own brand—

This is a whole new “Take Advice Experiment,” and I hope to keep growing with you, my strategy advisors.

Same rules as always—you give advice, I execute! Let’s go!】

【Hashtags: #TakeAdviceTransformation #BuildFromScratchStartup #EverydayBrand #BrandFounding #CyberGrowth】

Click—post.

Tang Song’s eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.

Next, he was going to shock the internet and grow his account alongside HEYISTUDIO.

He was completely confident in this.

Songmei Fashion was already hitting 30 million yuan in monthly sales, and He Yiyi’s livestream account had over 2 million followers;

Huashang Fashion’s new flexible production line was online, backed by a strong R&D team;

The supply chain was stable, capital was strong, traffic foundation solid...

This startup simulation game? He’d landed a god-tier starting hand.

Then Tang Song checked the time.

10:50.

He had plans to meet his girlfriends at 11:00 at the southeast corner Starbucks. Time to head over.

They were probably already “accidentally running into each other” now, right?

Next was his real test.

Luckily, these three goofy girlfriends were easy to handle and all a bit quirky.

If it were Big Sis or the CEO-type girlfriend here, that would be the real hell mode.

......

Minghui Mall, first floor.

“Stayed up late writing last night—I'm totally beat today, ended up sleeping in the car.”

“Yeah! This has to be a dream! I’m definitely dreaming!”

Xu Qing muttered to herself, then bit her lip hard.

“Ah—!” A sharp pain shot through.

What the h*ll?! No way!

Xu Qing’s eyes widened in realization.

She... wasn’t waking up?

Which meant... this wasn’t a dream!

Panic rushed in as she looked down and saw her outfit—white shirt and jeans—exactly the same as before. She could practically feel her twin tails puffing up.

She instinctively took a step back, trying to blend into the crowd, but it was too late.

Xiao Jing’s gaze locked onto her like a radar.

She froze for a second, then looked Xu Qing up and down. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a look that was both surprised and eerily strange.

Xu Qing gasped and shrank her neck, darting like a startled little hamster into the nearby ZARA store.

She ducked deep into the racks, hiding behind the hangers, peeking cautiously through the glass.

After a few moments—

No sign of Xiao Jing following. Finally, she exhaled in relief.

She glanced around, pinched her own cheek. It felt way too real.

What the heck was going on?!

The two people she feared most were both here, today, wearing the exact same clothes as her, approaching from two different directions.

How was this not some cosmic joke?

Could it be... Tang Song gave all three of them the same outfit?!

As her brain spiraled into conspiracy mode, a sweet and affectionate voice suddenly cooed in her ear: “Qingqing~ Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? Looks like we’re twinning today! What a coincidence.”

(-)

Xu Qing turned stiffly—

Xiao Jing was right there, just inches away.

Round glasses, sweet and cute face, today’s makeup giving her a real studious schoolgirl vibe.

But in Xu Qing’s eyes, she looked more like a villainess from an anime—cornering her prey into a dead end.

"You... how did you find me..."

Xiao Jing blinked. "This store has several entrances. You just happened to run through the one closest to me. As soon as I walked in, I saw you."

Xu Qing glanced at the glass door next to her and shrank her neck. "I see..."

"Oh right, Qingqing, why’d you run off? We haven’t seen each other in ages, I missed you so much."

How could she not run?

What if she was going on a date with Tang Song, and Xiao Jing suddenly joined in?

She didn’t even dare imagine what that scene would look like.

Xu Qing took half a step back, nervously asking, "Xiao Jing, what are you doing at Minghui Mall today?"

Xiao Jing fluttered her big, watery eyes. "Of course I’m here to—"

She dragged out the words and paused.

Xu Qing instinctively leaned forward. "To do what?"

Before she could finish, Xiao Jing stepped up and suddenly hugged her.

C-cup in a padded bra vs. a B-cup in regular underwear.

KO!

“Smooch~” a kiss sound rang by her ear.

Xu Qing slapped a hand over her now-damp cheek, shocked. "You... what are you doing?!"

Xiao Jing leaned in close to her ear, teasing with meaning: "Of course it’s to go on a date with our boyfriend. Qingqing, aren’t you? Hehe, we’re besties after all—even our boyfriend is the same model."

Smart and quick as she was, the moment Xiao Jing saw Xu Qing, she had already started piecing things together.

Same outfit, same time, same place—

No way this was just coincidence.

There could only be one truth!

Brother Tang Song had suddenly had a lightbulb moment and invited his two cutest girlfriends out at the same time.

Dinner, shopping, movies, games...

Just the thought made Xiao Jing so excited she hugged Xu Qing tighter and nuzzled against her adorable cheek.

Her eyes gleamed like a little fox ready to pounce.

Xu Qing stood there stunned, her brain buzzing.

You little Songzi!

You're actually dating two girls at once?! You bstard!

Aaaahhhh!!

Wait! No! What about Lin Muxue?!

She... she... don’t tell me she’s involved too?! Noooo!

You dmn dog, are you trying to pull a “Three Flowers on Top” stunt?!

(π=)

Xu Qing’s eyes darted around and she muttered weakly, "Xiao Jing, I just remembered—I’ve got unfinished work. I need to run home for a bit. Can you tell Tang Song for me, please?"

As soon as she tried to walk away, she only managed one step before Xiao Jing hugged her tightly from behind.

"That won’t do~" Xiao Jing rested her chin on Xu Qing’s shoulder, her voice as sweet as melting honey. "You promised Brother Tang Song this date—how can you flake last minute? He probably went through all this trouble just for today. If you ditch now, he’ll be mad.

Oh wait, Qingqing... could it be... you want to get your butt spanked?"

"Aah! What are you even saying?!" Xu Qing blushed hard, pushing her away. "And stop standing so close to me!"

"Brother Tang Song invited us both, clearly hoping we’d get closer. We should stick together more."

"I... I..."

She was just about to explain when Xiao Jing suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside.

"Let’s go, it’s almost 11." Xiao Jing hummed a tune, walking with a bounce in her step. "If we’re late, Brother Tang Song’s gonna get anxious."

The first floor of Minghui Plaza was flooded with people. Sunlight poured in through the glass dome, bright and warm.

The two of them walked out of the ZARA store, arms slung around each other’s shoulders, wearing nearly identical white shirts and jeans—like a pair of flower sisters.

They lit up the whole mall like they had background music following them.

They drew a ton of glances from passersby.

On the way, Xu Qing kept trying to pull away, but Xiao Jing would stop her every time with her "clingy girl" holds.

The two arrived at the entrance of Starbucks, sticking close the entire way.

The moment they pushed open the door—

It was as if a ripple of invisible energy pulsed out.

Oh no! That’s the smell of pure smug!

In the corner by the window at Starbucks, sunlight filtered through the glass and cast dappled light on the table.

Outside was the bustling crowd and traffic of Minghui Plaza, but inside—it was as if someone had hit the pause button.

Lin Muxue sat there alone, occupying the window seat.

In front of her: an Hermès Birkin in black and silver.

Her usual low ponytail was now coiled into a bun. Loose strands framed her pale face, her whole look cool and elegant with a lazy edge.

She wasn’t glued to her phone like others. Instead, she slightly turned her head, gazing toward the skyline bathed in sunlight—as if she were deep in thought, or maybe waiting for someone.

Her presence was overwhelming.

Even just sitting there quietly, she stole glances from everyone—inside Starbucks and passersby outside.

Gulp— Xu Qing swallowed hard. It was like getting hit by a force field. Her steps involuntarily halted.

She had a gut feeling that all this "effortless elegance" was 100% aimed at her.

Or more precisely—to crush her, Miss Xu Qing.

Compared to before, Lin Muxue had made a few subtle changes.

The ponytail was now a bun. Her lipstick shade was different. Eyeshadow and brows—definitely retouched.

It made her entire aura stronger.

Now if Xu Qing sat beside her, she’d instantly downgrade into little-sis mode.

Her eyes welled with tears at the thought.

(9)

If she had known this was the kind of showdown she’d be walking into, she would’ve worn her thickest padded bra!

Let these two C-cups get a taste of what a proper D-cup could do!

Sensing something was off, Xiao Jing blinked and followed Xu Qing’s gaze—

Then her face froze in surprise.

Nani?!

Wasn’t that Lin Muxue?!

And that outfit...

No way this was just a coincidence, right?!

Xiao Jing looked at Lin Muxue, then back at herself and Xu Qing—her brain temporarily crashed.

She had actually been planning to come clean to Tang Song about her online flirting with Lin Muxue and ask for punishment.

But now the real deal was suddenly sitting right here—

So much for that plan.

Right then, Lin Muxue, still in her glamorous pose, casually swept her gaze toward the entrance.

Three pairs of eyes locked in midair.

Each one with a completely different expression.

Xu Qing: 😨😨

Xiao Jing: 😳

Lin Muxue’s chest rose and fell slightly—her eyelids fluttering ever so subtly.

The ever-cool Empress Muxue nearly broke her poker face.

She originally thought only silly Xu Qing would be here, planning to knock her down a peg and vent some of the emotional trauma left behind by Shen Yuyan.

Who could’ve guessed Tian Jing would show up too?!

And the three of them… were dressed exactly the same.

President Tang… this is just… way too f***ing much...

Having faked being a rich socialite for quite some time, Lin Muxue always felt a little uneasy around someone like Youjing.

After all, Youjing’s elegance didn’t come from acting—it came from actual family wealth.

But what was Tang Song’s intention in calling all three of them here together?

Could it be… could it be… he wanted to play a 4-player basketball game?

She instantly pictured the scene in her mind: Tang Song standing at center court, the three of them spread out across three zones, ready to steal the ball and score.

Lin Muxue bit her rosy lips. The light in her eyes wavered slightly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

After adding Tian Jing on WeChat, she hadn’t been able to dig up any useful info.

It wasn’t until she heard from Qin Hua that Tian Jing really was dating someone from Jinxiu Trading that she confirmed she was also one of Tang Song’s girlfriends.

Given Youjing’s background with Smile Holdings, Muxue naturally assumed they were in the same faction, under Director Jin’s wing.

So she’d always treated Tian Jing warmly and politely, though recently Youjing had been saying some very weird, flirty stuff that made her uncomfortable.

If they were playing "ball" together, Muxue had a feeling she'd end up on the losing side.

But this wasn’t the time to think about that.

She took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and casually picked up her Hermès Birkin like she was strutting down a runway.

Her stilettos tapped crisply against the floor in a rhythmic beat.

Lin Muxue swayed her hips and stepped forward with a model’s stride toward the other two.

Taller, more maturely dressed, and with her cool elegance—plus the heels—she stood in front of Xu Qing and Xiao Jing, practically radiating big-sister energy.

Xiao Jing rested her hands in front of her sweetly. "What a coincidence, Muxue! You’re here too, and we’re even twinning."

Lin Muxue smiled faintly, her tone cool. "Good morning, Qingqing, Xiao Jing."

Xu Qing hunched her shoulders a little, replying guiltily, "Morning, Xiaoxue."

Hearing this exchange, Xiao Jing’s eyes widened in shock. "You two know each other?"

Xu Qing paused, then asked back, "You don’t know Xiaoxue?"

Lin Muxue was Tang Song’s assistant and had a close relationship with him—Xu Qing hadn’t expected Xiao Jing not to know her.

Xiao Jing’s pupils quivered, and after looking at both their faces, she quickly caught on. "Muxue, you’re also here to meet Tang Song?"

"Mm." Lin Muxue self-consciously brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to appear calm and breezy.

In a moment like this, Empress Muxue had to keep her poise, hold her aura, and show off her invincible presence.

After all, she was someone who’d squared off with Director Jin and Su Yu herself.

Just as that thought passed, Xiao Jing suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Muxue’s affectionately. "Wow, we really are fated. You never mentioned this before!"

Lin Muxue’s body flinched. "Hehe..."

The sparkle in Xiao Jing’s eyes intensified. No wonder Lin Muxue had been so warm to her before.

She’d thought Muxue was into girls—turns out, it was because of Tang Song!

Well, well! Lord Tang Song, you really do know how to play!

You made us all wear the same outfit, then invited us to the same spot?!

Looking at the identical clothes they all wore, Xiao Jing’s imagination kicked into overdrive.

This was starting to feel just like the three female leads from the anime Angel’s 3P!

The people around them turned into NPCs, and the air suddenly felt dreamy, hot.

A fated encounter! An iconic anime scene come to life!

Xiao Jing licked her lips, blushing.

Under her influence, it really seemed like Brother Tang Song was becoming more twisted and naughty.

But… she liked it!

Wow! This was so fun!

(≥V≤)/ Hehe~~

Just as the air around them was growing more tense and strange—

A voice rang out from nearby: "Xiaoxue, Xiao Jing, Qingqing—you’re all here."

All three turned their heads at once—

And saw a dazzling handsome guy walking toward them.

Crisp white shirt, tailored black dress pants.

That handsome face wore a gentle smile. He looked sharp but composed, like a male lead straight out of a modern drama.

Tang Song’s appearance instantly shattered the subtle standoff between the three.

Xiao Jing beamed. "Brother Tang Song, you’re here! You look so handsome today~"

Xu Qing’s eyes bulged, her twin-tails bouncing. "Tang Song! Y-you, you—!"

She pointed at him, then at Lin Muxue and Xiao Jing, lowering her voice to a fierce hiss: "You actually invited all three of us out at once?! You better explain!"

What was supposed to be a romantic one-on-one had turned into a chaotic four-way—and she was clearly the one getting played.

A flicker of awkwardness crossed Tang Song’s face as he said sheepishly, "It’s rare that I’m free—I wanted to take you girls shopping and introduce you to each other. You’re all very important to me, and each of you is so outstanding and beautiful. I thought you’d definitely have lots to talk about."

He really didn’t want to do this scumbag move.

But d*mn that shameless Little Umbrella system!

Hearing this crap from Tang Song, Xu Qing stammered, too flustered to respond.

Mostly because there were still a lot of people around—some things were hard to say out loud.

"Sister Qingqing, Sister Xiaoxue, don’t be mad, okay?" Xiao Jing held onto both their arms with a sweet, innocent look. "Brother Tang Song just wants us to get along better—he’s doing it for us!"

Lin Muxue quickly said, "I’m not mad. Um, Tang Song, do you want some coffee? I can go get it."

"No need, it’s almost lunchtime—we’ll eat soon."

"Mm, okay. I’ll follow your lead." Lin Muxue nodded and said no more.

Outwardly calm, her toes were curling inside her heels.

What was supposed to be a sweet date had become a bizarre group scene—she honestly didn’t know how to act anymore.

Especially with Xu Qing and Tian Jing right there, she couldn’t let loose.

If she got too flirty and it got back to Shen Yuyan… that would be so embarrassing.

The polished tiles reflected four tall, elegant silhouettes.

Tang Song walked in the middle of the three women, looking calm on the surface—but feeling pretty awkward inside.

Cool and sexy Xiaoxue, her honey-brown hair pinned up, fishnet stockings at her ankles catching the light.

Fresh and sweet Xiao Jing, naturally born JK queen, round glasses, pale skin at her collar hiding a red tattoo sticker—an irresistible contrast.

Adorably dumb Xu Qing with her bouncing twin-tails, lugging a giant tote bag.

Three girls, same outfits, completely different vibes—their combined appeal was off the charts.

Every time they passed by, the crowd around them fell into a hush.

Then came waves of envy and jealousy, slicing toward Tang Song like knives, accompanied by murmured gossip.

After strolling around downstairs for a bit...

Tang Song finally couldn’t take it anymore and suggested, “Why don’t we head upstairs and eat first?”

The 【Heartthrob’s Self-Cultivation】 task required him to spend at least three hours with the three girls to deepen their bonds.

Might as well start with a meal and then maybe catch a movie.

It’d help ease the tension and make things more natural.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing’s eyes lit up. She said softly, “Brother Tang Song, there’s a new music bistro that just opened on the 5th floor. It has private rooms, you can eat and sing karaoke—it’s perfect for a date.”

She’d already done her “research” before coming.

To make Tang Song punish her and notice her little “tips,” a good venue was a must.

But with so many people around now…

If Tang Song really punished her in front of the others—ugh, that’d be way too embarrassing.

“If no one minds, let’s go there,” Tang Song said, glancing at Lin Muxue and Xu Qing.

The two replied in unison, “No problem.”

...

The four of them took the elevator up to the fifth floor of the mall.

After looping around a bit, they found the place.

Thanks to Xiao Jing’s online reservation, they were led by the staff straight into a large private room in the back.

It was a new place, high-end in style, so it wasn’t crowded. The interior was minimal yet tasteful, with plenty of ambiance.

The sofa was plush and comfy, the coffee table already set with menus and utensils, and a karaoke machine stood in the corner.

Soft lighting bathed the room in warmth with a touch of mystery.

They ordered a few signature dishes, along with some juice and beer. The waiter smiled and left the room.

As the door slowly closed, shutting out the noise of the outside world—

A subtle, awkward tension settled in.

Xu Qing sat by the side, quietly nibbling on the complimentary fruit plate. Her twin-tails bounced with her movements, giving off a nervous, uneasy vibe.

She kept glancing at Lin Muxue and Xiao Jing, as if mentally assessing the situation, her expression wary and guarded.

Lin Muxue sat straight beside Tang Song, legs pressed tightly together—elegant but visibly stiff.

The light fell on her fair face, her earlobes tinged pink.

Clearly, none of them—including Tang Song—could fully relax. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✦fire.net

In the middle of the awkward silence, Xiao Jing suddenly popped up between them with a playful giggle.

She chatted a bit with Xu Qing and Lin Muxue, then sweetly fed Tang Song a slice of watermelon, trying to lighten the mood.

Then her eyes sparkled with an idea. “Brother Tang Song, I recently learned a new dance. Want me to perform it for you?”

“Mm, sure. Thanks, Xiao Jing.” Tang Song nodded and patted her head gently.

Such a sweet, thoughtful girlfriend.

The three of them weren’t very close yet, and this was his first time handling such a scene—

A dance to liven things up wasn’t a bad idea.

“Qingqing, want to join? It’s an ACG-style dance—you’ll definitely know it.”

“N-no thanks. I’m not feeling well.” Xu Qing shook her head fast. As a B-cup among C’s, she just couldn’t hold her head up here.

“All right then.”

Xiao Jing hopped over to the karaoke machine and picked a song: 《可愛<二幼人(feat.力乙)》 ("Sorry for Being So Cute").

As soon as the music started, the room was filled with youthful energy.

A soft melody and upbeat rhythm instantly boosted the vibe.

Xiao Jing stepped lightly to the center, arms relaxed at her sides, swaying with the beat.

Her eyes locked on Tang Song the whole time, lips curled in a bashful yet daring smile.

She had obviously trained in dance since young—her moves were fluid, elegant, every spin and hop perfectly timed.

Her light blue jeans and fitted white shirt showed off her “natural JK body” to the max.

That signature cool fair skin gleamed under the lights, making her look like an anime character come to life.

Even better than any ACG dancer Tang Song had seen on Bilibili or TikTok.

His gaze gradually burned hotter, heart pounding harder.

During the climax, Xiao Jing moved closer, turned around, and gently swayed her hips.

The denim hugged her curves, revealing the black victory ribbon beneath—

And a glimpse of a red tattoo sticker.

Black, red, and white—

The combo struck the eye like a bolt of electricity.

At that moment, the contrast between her sexy aura and her demure schoolgirl image hit its peak.

Then she spun around—somehow, two more buttons of her shirt had come undone.

Her body lowered, leaning toward him—

Her movements were pure tease.

Tang Song took a deep breath, startled.

Lin Muxue and Xu Qing’s eyes widened at the same time—their expressions froze.

(☉д☉)

They had just seen—round band-aids?!

Xiao Jing Nanako! Are you out of your f***ing mind?!
