Chapter 136: What's Wrong, Planning to Keep Our Relationship Secret?

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curled up. "I'll give you a hint: King-tier Player. Guess a bit more specifically."

"King-tier Player…" Leng Ruoli muttered, racking her brain.

But after thinking it over, she couldn't figure it out, and said in frustration, "I don't really know what it means."

"Alright, I'll tell you." Jiang Muye smiled and gave her a hint. "There's a voice line in King-tier Player that goes, 'Protect our crystal.'"

He leaned in close and whispered softly into Leng Ruoli's ear, "You're the crystal. You're the most important. I want to protect you, and whoever attacks you, I'll fight them with my life."

This was something Jiang Muye had accidentally seen online.

He never imagined it would come in handy now.

Leng Ruoli's cheeks instantly turned bright red, the corners of her eyes lifting as she smiled. She leaned against Jiang Muye's shoulder. "I really like this note."

Jiang Muye raised his hand and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's hair. "We still have one big thing to do."

"What is it?"

"Going official." Jiang Muye lightly tapped Leng Ruoli's forehead with his finger. "What's the matter, planning to date me in secret?"

Leng Ruoli gave a shy smile, her eyes dazzling, and shook her head at Jiang Muye. "No."

At the mention of going official, her heart itched.

This was something she'd dreamed of.

She just hadn't imagined it would actually happen now.

Especially at the thought of going official with Jiang Muye, Leng Ruoli's mood became wonderful.

"Do you want to change to couple names, couple avatars?" Jiang Muye smiled as he looked at Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli gave a firm "Mm," and she was raring to go now.

"Alright, then let's think carefully about couple names." Jiang Muye was overjoyed. Leng Ruoli leaned over and consulted with him for a long time, and they passed over a lot of names, before finally settling on a pair of couple names.

"Done, then let's decide on couple avatars." After finishing the couple names, Jiang Muye wanted to settle on couple avatars with Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Let's use One Piece couple avatars!"

Jiang Muye was thrilled. "Of course we can."

His favorite was the Empress from One Piece.

And Leng Ruoli had cosplayed the Empress, which had made his heart flutter.

Looked at this way, this anime had even played matchmaker for them.

So Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli directly chose anime couple avatars, Luffy and the Empress respectively.

After discussing the copy and pictures for going official, the two of them edited on their phones.

"Ready?" Jiang Muye drew a deep breath and asked Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli's little face was bright red, and she nodded firmly. "Ready."

"Then let's post it now." Jiang Muye checked the time, then told Leng Ruoli.

Instantly, the two of them sent out their posts.

That night, in the guys' dorm.

Little White Dove was shaving when his phone dinged with a notification.

He picked it up and looked, and his jaw dropped. Then he excitedly rushed out of the bathroom. "Big news! Quick, check your Moments!"

Kai had been doing his design homework, and Old He had been on a long phone call with his girlfriend. Seeing Little White Dove so excited, they were instantly puzzled.

"What's up with Moments, what world-shaking thing happened that got you so worked up?" Old He murmured in confusion.

After hanging up with his girlfriend, he started scrolling through Moments.

At that look, he was shocked himself, and blurted out, "Holy shit!"

After looking, Kai was thrilled. "The iron tree has bloomed!"

The latest update was already in Moments.

From Jiang Muye:

【I'm your 1%: First time being a boyfriend, please guide me.】

Below was a picture of Jiang Muye making a heart gesture.

Then below that, Leng Ruoli's post:

【I'm your 1%: First time being a girlfriend, please guide me.】

Likewise, below was a picture of Leng Ruoli making a heart gesture.

The two heart-gesture photos, put together, formed exactly one heart.

Little White Dove was elated. "Jiang Muye's finally woken up, and he's gone straight onto the highway. Couple avatars, couple names, and now couple posts and pictures for going official. Tsk tsk tsk, when Suya and I went official, we didn't do all this."

Kai nodded vigorously and added, "And that wasn't all, they even posted at the same time, 10:22 PM! It means two hearts as one!"

"You think that's all?" Old He shook his head and pointed at the PUBG page with amusement. "The two of them even changed their in-game relationship to couple. If I'm not mistaken, they've even opened a QQ couple space."

"Fuck." Little White Dove slapped his thigh, howling. "Anyone who says Muzi's a straight guy, I'll fight them. This is self-taught!"

"Who says it isn't, he's really applying what he learns. Isn't he just imitating what we did back then? Truly, the predecessors plant the trees and the descendants enjoy the shade," Old He said excitedly.

"I never imagined there'd be a day when Muzi force-feeds us dog food. Muzi's really made something of himself." Kai was completely in the mindset of an old father.

He'd been the most worried about Jiang Muye, afraid Jiang Muye would be a lifelong single dog.

Thankfully the Cold Campus Belle had appeared, and Jiang Muye had gotten together.

Not only were the roommates scrolling through Moments, Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli were too.

Jiang Muye saw the uniform replies below: Wish you 99.

He was in a great mood, and especially proud.

But when he scrolled to the very last one, his eyes suddenly went wide.

"What's wrong?" Leng Ruoli noticed something off with Jiang Muye.

"My mom saw it." Jiang Muye scratched his hair a bit sheepishly.

The last reply was from his mother: 【Son, when are you bringing your daughter-in-law home for your mom to see?】

Although Jiang Muye had been mentally prepared, being teased like this by his mom still made him embarrassed.

He replied with a voice message: "Next time, next time, when I have time for sure."

His mom was just too enthusiastic.

He couldn't just nab a wife and then let her get scared off.

His mom sent a voice message, giggling. "As soon as possible, as soon as possible. I say bring her back this New Year."

It made Leng Ruoli's face flush red.

Jiang Muye hurried to explain to Leng Ruoli, "That, my mom's just a bit brash, she's not a bad person, don't be scared."

"I heard the snow scenes in A City are beautiful." Leng Ruoli gazed at Jiang Muye with longing eyes.

Jiang Muye's lips parted slightly.

"Can you take me to see them?" Leng Ruoli was shy, but her eyes were also firm.

Such a pure and sweet look made Jiang Muye's heart warm.

He started getting excited too.

Snow scenes only came in winter.

Wasn't this hinting that he should bring her back for the New Year?

Jiang Muye was naturally more than happy to. He nodded and said, "Okay."

"Actually, there's one thing I want to tell you too." Leng Ruoli bit her lower lip, blushing deeply.

"What?"

"My dad… seems to know too." Leng Ruoli drew a deep breath and turned her phone screen toward Jiang Muye.

On it was an incoming call from Leng Ruoli's father.
