Chapter 133: I'm Officially Off the Market
Not two seconds later, Little White Dove instantly became agitated. "What the hell! A girlfriend?"
"That's right, I'm no longer single!" Jiang Muye said this with particular pride.
He and Leng Ruoli exchanged a glance in the unseen.
A shy look crossed Leng Ruoli's spring-like face. She directly used a pillow to cover her burning little face, not letting Jiang Muye look.
Jiang Muye gazed at her dotingly, his thoughts returning to his phone.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Muzi, you found the Cold Campus Belle, you're officially no longer single?" Little White Dove shouted at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Muye's ears were about to be shaken sore by Little White Dove's noisy voice.
"Yeah, can't you speak a little softer? I'm no longer single, heh heh, I found her."
Jiang Muye was especially shy yet especially proud when he said this.
Everyone said he was a single dog, but now he could be awesome too.
"That's great! So where's the Cold Campus Belle now? We'll come over right away!"
Jiang Muye quickly explained the general situation, then gave a location. Little White Dove and the others showed up half an hour later.
They arrived at the hospital room and, upon seeing Jiang Muye sitting on the same hospital bed as Leng Ruoli, could not help but smile like proud aunts.
The two of them really were a match.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman.
"Hey, the sour stench of romance in this air is way too obvious~" Little White Dove said with a laugh. "Do you guys smell it?"
"So thick~ tsk tsk tsk." Old He chuckled in reply.
Jiang Muye pretended to kick them in annoyance. "You two doing a comedy routine, one singing and the other joining in? When you two were dating, wasn't the sour stench of romance thick too!"
"Heh heh, our Muzi finally got his wish!" Little White Dove teased, directly raising the fruit basket in his hand. "Look, this is our gift money."
"Screw you." Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow, but still grabbed the fruit basket in one motion.
He looked at the fruit, then gently said to Leng Ruoli, "Want an apple or an orange?"
"An apple, I guess." Leng Ruoli said shyly.
"Alright, wait a moment." The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth lifted, and he went to grab a fruit knife to peel the apple.
Little White Dove said in a sarcastic tone from the side, "Hey, forgetting your friends for a pretty face. Why don't you ask if we want any?"
Old He shamelessly joked, "Who says otherwise? Treating us like third wheels. We've been here this long and haven't even gotten a cup of tea."
"Pour your own water from the table, peel your own apples if you want one." Jiang Muye responded directly.
"You're so heartless and cold." Little White Dove shook his head.
Jiang Muye said bluntly, "Only cold and heartless to you." He continued peeling the apple for Leng Ruoli.
Actually, Jiang Muye himself had never used a fruit knife to peel apples before. He used to just use a special peeler, and now peeling was much harder than he'd thought.
Before long the apple peel broke. Jiang Muye spent a great deal of effort before finally finishing peeling the apple.
After seeing the pitted, uneven apple, Little White Dove exaggeratedly said, "There's not even any apple flesh left on this."
Jiang Muye also felt too embarrassed to give it to Leng Ruoli and subconsciously reached for another apple. "Then I'll peel another one."
Who would have thought Leng Ruoli would quickly snatch the apple from Jiang Muye's hand, saying with a bright smile, "No need, I'll just eat this one~ It looks sweet at a glance."
She took a crisp bite.
Looking at her, Jiang Muye felt she was much sweeter than the apple.
As Jiang Muye dotingly watched Leng Ruoli eat with relish, Little White Dove waved a hand in front of his eyes. "Come on, snap out of it."
Jiang Muye subconsciously elbowed Little White Dove, scolding him with a laugh, "Quit messing with me."
Little White Dove chuckled and said, "Now you've got some life in you. Who was the lifeless one yesterday!"
Hearing Little White Dove's words, Leng Ruoli paused mid-bite, her eyes full of worry. "What happened?"
"You have no idea how much Muzi suffered yesterday looking for you. He even drank, and even…" Little White Dove was about to continue when Jiang Muye covered his mouth.
Little White Dove mumbled, wanting to speak but unable to open his mouth.
Jiang Muye's face burned. Bringing up yesterday made even him ashamed; it was one of his rare moments of degeneracy.
Most importantly, he didn't want Leng Ruoli to know and start worrying about him.
As Jiang Muye and Little White Dove fooled around, the corner of Jiang Muye's shirt was gently tugged.
Jiang Muye turned back and saw Leng Ruoli, her eyes full of heartache.
"I'll never let you look for me alone again." Leng Ruoli said softly.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Muye could not help but reach out and rub her little head. "See, didn't I find you and bring you back?"
What Jiang Muye felt most fortunate about was not returning Leng Ruoli to the sea of people.
She belonged to him.
In the harmonious atmosphere, the sound of high heels clicking came from outside.
Then the door was knocked.
"Ruoli, are you feeling better?"
Everyone's gaze turned toward the door.
There stood Mi Lu, eyes red, face pale, holding a light coffee-colored teddy bear pillow, along with a bouquet and fruit.
Upon seeing Mi Lu appear, Jiang Muye pressed his thin lips tightly together.
He subconsciously looked at Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli's gaze fell on Mi Lu, but it was fearful, panicked, and at a loss. She turned her face away in bitterness.
Jiang Muye seemed to feel it as if it were his own, and the taste in his heart turned unpleasant as well.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Muye asked Mi Lu.
Little White Dove and the others were also disdainful.
Originally they had thought Senior Mi Lu was just being genuine, but it turned out she was truly scheming.
Leng Ruoli had treated her as a best friend, but she had betrayed Leng Ruoli and even wanted to take away Leng Ruoli's beloved.
"I just heard she was sick, so I came to see her. That's all." Mi Lu forced a smile. "I'm also here to apologize."
"No need." Leng Ruoli looked at Mi Lu with tearful eyes, but her voice was firm. "I trusted you so much, treated you as my only friend. I know I might be just one of all your friends, but I only had you."
Her bitterness stirred Jiang Muye's thoughts.
Jiang Muye sat down and directly wrapped his arm around Leng Ruoli's waist.
On Leng Ruoli's fair, delicate face, tears fell. She rested against Jiang Muye's chest, crying with grievance and innocence.
Jiang Muye gently wiped the tears from Leng Ruoli's face with his fingertip. Leng Ruoli tried hard to force a smile.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been jealous of you, shouldn't have stolen your things in a moment of weakness, and shouldn't have done such a shameful thing." Mi Lu took a deep breath and pleaded sorrowfully, "But I really regret it. Can you please forgive me?"
"The harm has already been done. An apology alone is no use." Jiang Muye said coldly.
"So, I'll back out, okay? I give up on Jiang Muye. Can you forgive me?" Mi Lu stepped forward, crying along with her.
