Chapter 134: Call Me Hubby
Boss Cutie
Mi Lu's tearful appearance didn't soften Leng Ruoli's heart in the slightest.
Instead, the moment Mi Lu reached for her hand, Leng Ruoli flung it away fiercely.
"Sister Mi Lu, acting like this only makes me look down on you more. Are you pitying me? Back when you stopped at nothing to get Muye and destroyed our friendship, we stopped being friends!" Leng Ruoli's eyes were brimming with tears, but her tone grew fierce.
And Jiang Muye spoke to Mi Lu in a voice cold as ice, "I was never yours, and it's not your place to give up on me."
He took the initiative to lace his fingers with Leng Ruoli's in front of Mi Lu, and declared, "Ruoli and I are officially together now. From now on, you don't need to keep using those tricks on me, and there's no need to hurt Ruoli anymore."
Mi Lu's red lips quivered. In an instant, she was utterly devastated, a bleak smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Alright… I wish you both happiness." Mi Lu lowered her eyes, enduring the sharp pain in her chest, and forced out a smile, "Then I won't stay here and ruin the mood."
Mi Lu began to stagger toward the door.
Leng Ruoli's lips quivered. She wanted to say something, but could only force herself to swallow down her reluctance.
Jiang Muye pressed his forehead tenderly against Leng Ruoli's cool forehead.
He was eager to share all her pressure with her right now.
If only it could make Leng Ruoli a little happier.
That her small body had to endure all this made his heart ache.
In this world, apart from breakups and the loss of family, naturally only a friend's betrayal was left to break one's heart.
Leng Ruoli's eyes were brimming with tears, and she began to sob, "Am I too cruel?"
"In my heart, you're a little fairy, kind through and through." Jiang Muye coaxed Leng Ruoli gently.
Leng Ruoli smiled through her tears and threw herself into Jiang Muye's arms.
Even Little White Dove began to comfort Leng Ruoli, saying, "Cold Campus Belle, don't be sad anymore. You've lost Campus Belle Mi as a friend, but you've gained us as friends."
Kai and Old He nodded vigorously, "Right, we're all your friends."
Jiang Muye smiled at Leng Ruoli, "Besides, you've gained a boyfriend too. Not a bad trade."
Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye hooked their index fingers together, and she smiled a shallow, sweet smile, "You've gained a girlfriend too. You made out well."
Jiang Muye's eyes were very gentle as he nodded vigorously, "Right, a huge win."
So pretty, with such a good figure, and so understanding, so refined and reasonable. Where could you find a girlfriend like this?
Jiang Muye felt like this was all a dream. He had gone from being what others called a "simp" to a winner in life, all in what seemed like the span of a single night.
Little White Dove and the others didn't want to disturb Leng Ruoli's rest, so they left, leaving Jiang Muye to look after her.
Jiang Muye bought piping hot congee and set it on the table over Leng Ruoli's bed, "Here, eat it while it's hot."
When Leng Ruoli saw it, her eyes lit up, "How did you know I like this place's?"
"I saw some scatterbrain ordering from this place all the time before. I can even draw the logo on the bag now." Jiang Muye teased.
Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you."
"Just a thank you?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow, the hint in his expression deep.
While Leng Ruoli was still bewildered, Jiang Muye had already turned his cheek toward her.
Now Leng Ruoli understood completely.
Her little face flushed red as she leaned in and gave Jiang Muye a kiss.
Jiang Muye was thoroughly satisfied, and hurriedly helped Leng Ruoli open the lid of her congee.
He had bought two servings in total, but Leng Ruoli's was the fresh-boiled congee, while his was century egg and lean pork congee.
One serving each, and they dug in.
Jiang Muye was eating with great relish when he noticed Leng Ruoli staring fixedly at him.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Muye asked strangely.
Leng Ruoli shook her delicate little face and said shyly, "Watching you eat, I just feel like yours looks really tasty."
Jiang Muye wasn't a fool, so naturally he understood the meaning behind Leng Ruoli's words.
He scooped up a spoonful and fed it directly to Leng Ruoli's lips. "Here, eat up, little glutton."
Leng Ruoli smiled playfully, took a bite, chewed with satisfaction, and said, "Sure enough, yours is tastier."
"Then have another bite." Jiang Muye fed her again.
Leng Ruoli also scooped up some of her fresh-boiled congee and fed it to Jiang Muye, "Here, you eat too."
Jiang Muye ate the congee Leng Ruoli fed him with a chuckle.
But after eating for a while, Leng Ruoli let out a "hic" and instantly covered her mouth in alarm, her pretty little face burning with embarrassment.
"Hic."
Leng Ruoli looked up in astonishment to see Jiang Muye hiccuping.
"See, I hiccuped too." Jiang Muye's eyes lifted, enormously proud, "Way louder than yours. Yours is amateur hour."
Leng Ruoli smiled knowingly, her heart brimming with delight at Jiang Muye's rescue of her dignity.
They weren't eating anything like Australian lobster or Japanese fatty beef, just ordinary simple fare, yet they could eat it with the most luxurious sense of happiness.
"Alright, I'm full." After seeing Leng Ruoli put down her spoon, Jiang Muye was a little surprised, "Full already? Not eating a bit more? You really do have a bird's stomach."
He felt Leng Ruoli had hardly eaten anything, with lots of congee left over.
Leng Ruoli smiled shyly.
Since Leng Ruoli couldn't finish it, Jiang Muye, upholding the principle of not wasting food, simply ate the rest of her serving as well.
He finally understood why love made people fat. That was the trouble with love.
Haha, but he was willing to bear this kind of happy roundness.
Except he couldn't get fat even if he wanted to. After all, he had the "eat a lot without getting fat" skill, so he could eat however he wanted.
After the meal, Jiang Muye noticed Leng Ruoli instinctively make a motion to reach for her pocket, and she seemed to realize something and pulled her hand back.
Jiang Muye raised his eyelids, his smile deepening, "Are you looking for your phone?"
"My phone was stolen. I'll have to buy a new one later." Leng Ruoli felt a little embarrassed bringing it up.
Jiang Muye smiled, and simply pulled a phone from his own pocket and tossed it to Leng Ruoli, saying, "Take a look, is this your phone?"
When Leng Ruoli saw the phone Jiang Muye handed her, her eyes went bright.
"This is my phone! How did you get it?"
"It's a long story, but getting your phone back took some effort. How are you going to make it up to me?" Jiang Muye asked Leng Ruoli, wearing a thick smile.
Leng Ruoli muttered bashfully, "I… didn't I already give myself to you?"
That one casual sentence of hers made Jiang Muye's heart pound, thump thump thump.
Oh my god, his girlfriend was way too good at flirting.
Jiang Muye's ears burned hot. He scratched his ears and cheeks for a moment, then said, "That doesn't count."
"I… I don't know." Leng Ruoli was at a complete loss.
Seeing Leng Ruoli's shy appearance, Jiang Muye couldn't help but want to tease her for a while, so he said with a grin, "Then calling me hubby once isn't too much to ask, right!"
