Chapter 13: How Could Jiang Muye Ever Reach So High

After Jiang Muye returned to the dormitory, he went to look in the mirror.

His cheek was a bit red, but there were no lip marks.

However, Jiang Muye could clearly feel that Leng Ruoli had kissed him there.

Oh my god, for the first time in his life, he had been forcefully kissed.

And by the Campus Belle, no less.

Jiang Muye's ears began to turn red.

How was he supposed to look the Cold Campus Belle in the eye after this? Judging by her attitude, it was obvious she had no intention of giving up.

"Muzi, are you constipated? You've been in the bathroom so long!"

"Damn it, I'm not constipated!" Jiang Muye shot back at Little White Dove. "You looking for a beating?"

Little White Dove said with a laugh, "Fine, then let's go to the cafeteria to eat in a bit. If we're late, there won't be any food left. I'm starving to death!"

"You just ate breakfast and you're already hungry?"

"Bullshit, how could that little bit fill me up~"

"Fine, wait for me, I'll be right there." After washing his face, Jiang Muye went out and headed to the cafeteria with the three of them.

Of course, these three animals had also invited their respective girlfriends.

He was the only single dog.

Watching their lovey-dovey appearances, Jiang Muye felt extremely depressed. "You guys really have the heart to make me the third wheel?"

Kai's girlfriend Xiao Yue said with a smile, "Then hurry up and get off the market. I heard you were walking with the Cold Campus Belle today. Any chance?"

"The Cold Campus Belle?" Little White Dove's girlfriend Su Ya looked bewildered. "Wasn't he with Campus Belle Xia? How did the Cold Campus Belle get involved?"

Little White Dove said, "You're still stuck on 2G, aren't you? Campus Belle Xia is a thing of the past. Now the Cold Campus Belle is interested in our Muzi, and she's even walking around with him."

Su Ya's eyes lit up. "Muzi, you really are something!"

Jiang Muye felt terribly embarrassed at being teased. He said in a low voice, "That's not how it is. There's nothing between us."

"That's the Cold Campus Belle, you'd better seize the opportunity," Su Ya said. "Then you can bring your girlfriend and come out with us."

Little White Dove nodded. "She's right."

"What am I supposed to do, single dogs can't even eat with you guys? Come on, let's mutually destroy each other!" Jiang Muye clicked his tongue and shot them a murderous look.

"Bro Mu, I wouldn't dare! I was wrong, isn't that enough!" Little White Dove begged for mercy.

Suddenly he pointed behind and said in surprise, "Campus Belle Xia!"

"You're lying to me again." Jiang Muye wasn't falling for it.

But Little White Dove grew anxious. "It's true! She's even heading our way."

Jiang Muye whipped his head around, and sure enough, he saw Xia Xiran, dressed to the nines, appear surrounded by her best friends.

Today Xia Xiran wore a black beret on her head, a cream-white V-neck sweater, paired with a dark black miniskirt. Her overall aura was literary and gentle.

Her gaze landed on Jiang Muye, clearly hoping for something.

Yuanyuan asked, "Can we share a table with you?"

Jiang Muye was just about to refuse when Kai called out, "Sure, sit together."

Jiang Muye shot Kai a fierce glare.

But Kai smiled and said, "The cafeteria is crowded right now and there aren't many seats. It's fine for classmates to share a table."

Kai actually still wanted Jiang Muye and Campus Belle Xia to rekindle their old flame.

He knew Jiang Muye still cared about Campus Belle Xia, so as a bro, he definitely had to create opportunities.

Xia Xiran was grateful and quickly began sitting down nearby with her best friends.

As it happened, Jiang Muye ended up right next to Xia Xiran.

When Jiang Muye and Xia Xiran sat together, the students in the cafeteria immediately noticed.

They began to gossip.

"I knew it, how could Jiang Muye possibly stop liking Campus Belle Xia? He proposed 99 times, how could he just give up."

"Then what's the deal with the Cold Campus Belle? Don't tell me Jiang Muye is using her to make Campus Belle Xia jealous."

"Very likely. The Cold Campus Belle has such high standards and such a cold personality, how could Jiang Muye ever reach her level? I bet they just bumped into each other by chance and Jiang Muye is using her as a tool. But no matter how many tricks Jiang Muye has, how could the Cold Campus Belle possibly change her mind about him? Jiang Muye is wasting his effort."

"A simp is a simp. In the end, he'll have nothing."

Everyone was enjoying the show, all thinking that no matter how much effort Jiang Muye put in, Campus Belle Xia would never get together with him.

Someone spoke up for Jiang Muye, saying, "No way, I saw Campus Belle Xia sit down next to him on her own today. Maybe Campus Belle Xia likes Jiang Muye now?"

They were immediately doused with cold water. "Campus Belle Xia was clearly dragged over by her roommates, she didn't sit there on her own. She could never like Jiang Muye. If she did, she would have accepted his proposal before!"

But in the next second, their faces were slapped so hard it stung.

They discovered that Campus Belle Xia was actually peeling shrimp herself and placing them in Jiang Muye's bowl. "You love shrimp the most, hurry up and eat."

Serving food was already shocking enough, let alone peeling shrimp by hand.

In fact, peeling shrimp was very difficult.

First, the peeled shrimp meat had to be plump, and the vein had to be removed. The steps were tedious, and it would also get your hands dirty.

Xia Xiran was a neat freak, but now she didn't mind getting her hands dirty. Instead, after handing the shrimp to Jiang Muye, she continued peeling more.

This move not only shocked the bystanders, but even Jiang Muye himself was surprised.

In the past, Xia Xiran had always thought peeling shrimp was extremely troublesome.

So if no one peeled the shrimp, she wouldn't eat any.

Jiang Muye would tirelessly peel shrimp on the side, placing all the shrimp meat into Xia Xiran's bowl.

And this time, the person repeating this task had become Xia Xiran.

Jiang Muye's eyes grew complicated.

He saw that Xia Xiran still had a bandage on her finger, clearly from being scratched by branches that day, but she didn't care at all and kept peeling shrimp for Jiang Muye.

Xia Xiran carefully peeled the shrimp meat. In the past, she thought peeling a few shrimp was nothing to be moved by.

Peeling shrimp wasn't difficult anyway. If he was willing to do it, then she would just eat.

But now she had finally realized that peeling shrimp was hard labor.

After peeling just a few, her fingers already felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Let alone the fact that in the past, Jiang Muye could peel several dozen in one go, not even bothering to eat himself, just to feed her.

Now Xia Xiran could completely empathize.

She felt even more that her past self had been too awful.

She hadn't been considerate of Jiang Muye, and had taken his efforts for granted.

Xia Xiran held back the tears welling up in her eyes and looked at Jiang Muye, only to find that he hadn't touched his chopsticks at all. She was puzzled. "Why aren't you eating? It'll get cold soon."

The Girl with Glasses nodded. "Right, this is the first time Xiran has peeled shrimp for a guy. Don't be ungrateful."

Yuanyuan urged, "I'm getting hungry just watching. Hurry up and eat, don't be petty."

Even Xia Xiran was full of expectation.

But Jiang Muye furrowed his brow and said, "I'm not eating."

System reminder: 【Congratulations, Host, for rejecting Xia Xiran's offered food. Backbone value increased by two hundred points. Reward: two million rmb. Please continue your efforts.】

Xia Xiran bit her lip tightly, clearly a bit unhappy.

The Girl with Glasses grew aggressive. "Jiang Muye, can you stop putting on airs! So what if she rejected your proposals 99 times, what are you being so dramatic about! Now Xiran is peeling shrimp for you herself, and you're still giving her attitude. Isn't that going too far!"
