Chapter 117: Don't You Know This Is a Wolf's Den
After Jiang Muye had quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, he grabbed three thicker jackets and headed downstairs.
Before leaving, he called out to his three animal roommates, "Get ready too, we're heading out soon."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." They didn't dawdle either, hurriedly getting ready.
Jiang Muye went down. Quite a few people were already gathered around watching, and some were taking pictures.
Worried about making a bad impression on them, he quickly handed out the jackets one by one.
"Hurry up and put them on. Standing under the men's dorm like this is way too conspicuous—don't you know this is a wolf's den?" Jiang Muye glared at them.
Jiang Xueli, however, beamed as she clutched Jiang Muye's clothes, then leaned her head in and started nuzzling his arm, praising him endlessly. "Mmm, how is my Brother so thoughtful? Whoever becomes your girlfriend is definitely super lucky."
Jiang Muye directly pushed her head away. "Be serious."
Jiang Xueli parted her red lips slightly and gave a little huff. "Brother, you're way too fierce."
Mi Lu sniffed the jacket Jiang Muye had given her and said sweetly, "It's got your manly scent, Muye. Wonderful."
Jiang Muye: "…I've never worn that one."
Mi Lu laughed awkwardly. "Is that so."
As for Leng Ruoli, after receiving the jacket Jiang Muye gave her, her little face flushed bright red, and she obediently began to drape it over herself.
"Were you guys waiting since early this morning?" Jiang Muye asked.
"We just got here not long ago." Jiang Xueli smiled prettily. "Brother, when are we leaving?"
"I'm ready, but my roommates are still getting ready. Probably still a while to wait," Jiang Muye said honestly.
"Hehe, no problem. Then let's go grab breakfast now?" Jiang Xueli said with a grin. "The cafeteria has seaweed shaomai rolls this morning—those are my favorite~ So crispy, they go crunch crunch when you bite into them."
It made Jiang Muye's mouth water just hearing it.
Jiang Muye nodded. "Alright, let's go eat at the cafeteria. I'll bring some breakfast back for those three."
Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Muye looked at how the three of them were dressed and asked, "Isn't going to the cafeteria like this a bit too high-profile?"
But Jiang Xueli said very casually, "As long as we're not embarrassed, the ones who are embarrassed are everyone else. Besides, tons of people are heading to the anime convention today, they'll all understand us. And with us three great beauties looking this pretty, people won't even have time to stare, let alone say anything."
Jiang Muye figured she was right. The three of them really did stand out, and even without dressing like this they'd be high-profile.
So Jiang Muye just took the three of them to the cafeteria to eat.
After everyone ordered a pile of food, they found a seat by the window and sat down.
Jiang Muye could feel quite a few gazes from all directions lingering on him.
He simply chose to stay calm and took a bite of his burger.
Then Leng Ruoli picked up her soy milk and held it out in front of Jiang Muye. "Here, drink this. Don't choke."
"Thanks." Jiang Muye smiled and took a sip, and the rich fragrance of the soy milk immediately washed over him.
Mi Lu directly took the little sausages from her plate and gave them to Jiang Muye, saying cheerfully, "Here, try my sausages. They're super tasty, I've got way too many here to finish."
Jiang Xueli also handed him the beef seaweed roll in her hand. "Come on, take a bite~ It's really good."
Looking at the ingratiating looks from Mi Lu and Jiang Xueli, Jiang Muye felt utterly at a loss. He coughed and said, "No need, I've got enough with my own."
Jiang Muye buried his head and started wolfing down his burger again.
Seeing that Jiang Muye didn't take them, the two of them pouted their lips but didn't say anything, and continued eating.
The System: 【Congratulations, Host, for earning two hundred Grit Points. A lottery ticket has been gifted to you. Host, you may now enter the backend to draw.】
Lucky break—this time there was a System lottery.
Jiang Muye simply entered the backend and chose to draw.
【Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a one-day All-Lucky Experience Ticket. Any lottery you draw today will succeed with a hundred percent chance.】
Hearing the System's words, Jiang Muye perked up. Nice. Then give me twenty draws, System. I'll cash in all my Grit Points.
The System had said a hundred percent chance, so he'd make the most of it here.
Hearing this, the System immediately got scared. 【Host, cheating like this is not allowed. This does not include draws from the System Mall.】
Jiang Muye: Look at you panicking. Can't take the heat?
The System: 【This System is humble. If you keep drawing like this, this System will be drawn bankrupt by you, and might even be forcibly uninstalled.】
Jiang Muye thought about it—this System was still somewhat useful. If he really used his hundred-percent draw rate to exploit the System, that would indeed be an unfair win.
Come to think of it, the System really was a poor little thing.
If it got uninstalled, he wouldn't be able to use a lot of his skills. So he wouldn't take advantage of the System for now; drawing lotteries in the real world was the same anyway.
Jiang Muye: Fine, I'll let you off.
The System was endlessly grateful to Jiang Muye, and Jiang Muye turned his attention back to reality.
Jiang Muye's gaze fell on Leng Ruoli. She was eating strawberry-jam bread, her crimson lips taking small bites of the bread, and the jam smeared out, making her lips look full and delicate.
The feeling of yesterday's kiss rushed back.
Strange—when they had kissed yesterday, he hadn't felt much at all, just that it was sweet and soft.
But now, looking at her, he felt his whole body heating up, and his heart itching a little.
Jiang Muye felt that something was wrong with him.
Especially when he saw Leng Ruoli's crimson tongue licking the strawberry jam off her lips, Jiang Muye had to fight hard to suppress a deep-seated desire.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Strange—before, he had never had such obvious and vigorous wicked thoughts.
Jiang Muye desperately started drinking his soy milk, trying to cool his fire.
As Leng Ruoli was eating her bread in small bites, a warm touch suddenly brushed the corner of her lips.
Leng Ruoli looked up and found that Jiang Muye was seriously wiping the bread crumbs from her face. Her skin involuntarily heated up, and her delicate features flushed red.
"Thanks," Leng Ruoli said in a small voice.
She looked completely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Mi Lu thought, that works too?
Her eyes immediately lit up.
"Muye, I've got something on my lips too." Mi Lu whined at Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye noticed cream smeared on Mi Lu's red lips—she had deliberately put it there after finishing her cream puff.
Mi Lu's lips were very sexy, and now she pouted them slightly at him, full of teasing intent.
Jiang Muye, out of sight out of mind, turned his face away and said coolly, "Sister Mi Lu, wipe it yourself."
The System: 【Congratulations, Host, for rejecting Mi Lu. Obtained two hundred Grit Points.】
Mi Lu dug in her heels and stamped her foot. "I can't see it."
Jiang Muye slapped his phone down in front of her with a clack. "The phone has a mirror mode. Take a look yourself."
Mi Lu's little face flushed red, and she said excitedly, "Our relationship is taking a qualitative leap—you're even letting me look at your phone now~"
Jiang Muye was exasperated. "Mi Lu, don't over-imagine things."
Mi Lu giggled. "Alright, I know. Wasn't I just teasing you? You're the one getting embarrassed."
"I am not!" Jiang Muye hurriedly tried to save face.
Jiang Xueli came to Jiang Muye's rescue. "Alright, Sister Mi Lu, stop joking around. My brother isn't willing, but I am—hehe, I'll wipe it for you."
After Jiang Xueli came to help, Mi Lu immediately picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth. "No need, I've wiped it."
All she'd wanted was to copy Leng Ruoli and catch Jiang Muye's attention.
Sigh, pity Jiang Muye's heart had already wandered off somewhere—he wouldn't even help her with this.
They say a woman chasing a man is separated by a layer of gauze, but how was this gauze harder to break than a chastity mark!
After finishing breakfast at the cafeteria, Jiang Muye learned through WeChat that his roommates were ready. He grabbed the breakfast they wanted and headed straight to the parking lot.
Since there were quite a few of them, Jiang Muye drove and brought his roommates along.
Leng Ruoli drove and took both Mi Lu and Jiang Xueli with her.
They soon arrived at the convention center.
And so a good show no one could have anticipated officially began…
