Chapter 137: A Wolf-Like Boyfriend

Jiang Muye: "!!!"

He had never imagined the storm would arrive so quickly.

Considering that future fathers-in-law were all terrifying creatures, it was a challenge for any guy.

And Leng Ruoli's father was the chairman of the Leng Group, a famously doting father.

Could it be that on the very first day of their relationship, the future father-in-law was already going to beat the lovebirds apart?

"Should I hang up?" Leng Ruoli asked carefully.

"Pick it up. I'm not stealing or robbing, so what do I have to feel guilty about?" Jiang Muye mustered his courage and said, "He's going to find out sooner or later anyway."

He wasn't inferior either, and he hadn't cheated.

No need to be afraid. The other party wasn't a pack of wolves or a tiger, and besides, he had the System. Was there any challenge he couldn't complete?

No matter how difficult it got, Jiang Muye wouldn't change his feelings for Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli spread a trace of a sweet smile and immediately answered the call.

Jiang Muye was actually nervous, with no way of knowing how the other party viewed him.

The phone wasn't on speaker, so Jiang Muye couldn't understand a word of what was being said on the other end.

But Leng Ruoli's expression didn't change, and she stayed in a very relaxed posture, with a girl's charm and shyness.

The conversation lasted less than a few minutes before Leng Ruoli hung up.

Jiang Muye asked, "What did your uncle say?"

Leng Ruoli smiled and said, "He said it's pretty good that I'm dating, and that he's preparing to come back to the country to see what the boy dating me is like."

On the surface, those words sounded pretty normal.

But Jiang Muye didn't think it would be that easy. After all, who would be willing to let the cabbage they'd painstakingly raised be uprooted by a pig?

On the surface, he was saying he'd come back to see him, but in reality, he was coming to test him.

However, Jiang Muye of course couldn't show weakness. He very openly and confidently held Leng Ruoli's hand and said, "Good. When the time comes, I'll definitely give him a warm welcome and do my duty as host."

No matter how much he was made things difficult for him, he had nothing to fear. At worst, he'd deal with each move as it came. He could smoothly resolve any difficulty.

Leng Ruoli nodded, smiling brilliantly.

The night grew deeper, and the hospital gradually quieted down.

Leng Ruoli sat on the bed, watching Jiang Muye set up a small cot beside it. Her eyes blinked gently, and her tone was soft as she said, "Why don't you just go to a hotel? Sleeping here, you won't have room to stretch out, and you'll end up with a sore back and aching body."

"It's fine. A real man can bend and stretch. So what if I sleep on a folding bed?" Jiang Muye was straightforward and simply hadn't even considered it a problem.

As long as he was with the person he liked, even sleeping on a pile of straw would feel comfortable to Jiang Muye.

"Besides, if I abandoned you for the sake of comfort, would I even count as your boyfriend?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow.

After hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli's little face flushed bright red. "Alright then."

"It's time to sleep now," Jiang Muye reminded her gently.

"I can't fall asleep," Leng Ruoli shook her head.

"Early to bed, early to rise. Keep good habits," Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli seriously.

"But with you here, how could I possibly fall asleep?" Shyness seeped through Leng Ruoli's voice.

Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "So it's my fault? Then should I leave?"

He got up, and Leng Ruoli panicked, grabbing Jiang Muye's arm and saying hurriedly, "Don't go."

Jiang Muye broke into a smile, cupped Leng Ruoli's little face in his hands, and said, "Alright, I won't go. I'll stay here with you."

Leng Ruoli's eyes were brilliant as the stars. When she smiled, it was as if the whole world dimmed, and she alone was the brightest.

Leng Ruoli couldn't sleep, and Jiang Muye couldn't force her to.

So he climbed onto Leng Ruoli's hospital bed, and they started watching a projected movie together.

After the projection screen came down, Jiang Muye asked Leng Ruoli, "What do you want to watch?"

"Is there anything like a horror movie?" Leng Ruoli's eyes flickered as she blinked, a bit embarrassed.

Jiang Muye couldn't help but laugh. "If you watch a horror movie, won't you be even less able to sleep?" Originally, Jiang Muye had wanted to put on some artsy film or a documentary, so that Leng Ruoli would get sleepy and fall asleep.

Leng Ruoli grabbed Jiang Muye's shirt hem, her watery eyes filled with longing. "Please. I didn't dare watch them before, but now that I have a boyfriend, I want to watch my fill all at once."

Jiang Muye's willpower instantly crumbled.

His girlfriend was only begging for such a tiny thing.

Look at those innocent eyes.

Listen to that coquettish tone.

And look at those soft little hands grabbing his shirt hem.

Which man could remain unmoved? If he ignored her, he'd really deserve to die alone.

"Alright," Jiang Muye agreed.

Leng Ruoli's face was brimming with smiles.

So Jiang Muye picked a domestic horror movie for Leng Ruoli to watch.

He definitely couldn't put on the hardcore, truly terrifying kind. What if he scared his girlfriend badly?

He didn't want to leave any trauma on his girlfriend.

Jiang Muye wrapped his arm around Leng Ruoli and leaned back against the headboard, watching the movie.

Domestic movies really didn't amount to much in terms of horror. It felt like the sound effects were the scary part, and everything else was just ghosts-and-gods imagery and plot. To Jiang Muye, it was too childish.

But Leng Ruoli's courage wasn't great.

After seeing the protagonist encounter the fake female ghost, she was so frightened she hid in Jiang Muye's arms.

Jiang Muye felt his shirt was about to be torn apart by Leng Ruoli. Seeing her fearful look, he wasn't the least bit angry. Instead, he was full of tender affection.

He ruffled Leng Ruoli's hair and coaxed her, "Still want to watch?"

"Watch," Leng Ruoli said. She was a coward, yet still wanted to watch, sneaking a glance at the movie screen from the corner of her eye.

Jiang Muye laughed and continued watching with Leng Ruoli.

"The murderer is actually…" Just as Jiang Muye mischievously wanted to spoil the ending, Leng Ruoli reached out and covered Jiang Muye's mouth, insisting, "No spoilers."

"Alright, no spoilers," Jiang Muye's mouth curved up.

Leng Ruoli continued watching the screen with rapt attention. The movie, which had originally been a bit dull to Jiang Muye, was actually watchable now because of Leng Ruoli's company.

After the movie ended, the credits began to roll.

"I knew I guessed right," Jiang Muye was saying proudly, when he discovered that the girl had fallen asleep in his arms like a cat.

Jiang Muye's gaze was full of doting affection.

The little thing who had just been clamoring to watch a movie had now gone and fallen asleep on her own.

Still, her eyelashes really were long, and her cheeks were pink and tender.

Her lips had a jelly-like pale pink.

It made a person want to take a bite.

But Jiang Muye held back his wicked thoughts.

How could he make a move while Leng Ruoli was asleep? Besides, Jiang Muye didn't want to wake Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye began tiptoeing to move Leng Ruoli's little hand off him, then gently took the pillow and placed it behind Leng Ruoli's head.

Leng Ruoli slept even more peacefully and comfortably.

"Good night." After Jiang Muye gently tucked her in, he climbed onto the small cot.

It was his first time in a room with a girl.

Naturally, it was pure torment.

He was afraid the one suffering insomnia tonight would be him.

However…

Jiang Muye turned on his side to look at the girl sleeping quietly like a baby, tenderness hidden in his brows and eyes.

He was willing.

After accompanying Leng Ruoli in the hospital for a few days, Jiang Muye prepared to go back to the dorm to get his laptop.

Although he'd been skipping class these past few days, and had Little White Dove and the other roommates helping to cover for him with Check-ins, the professional assignments still had to be submitted.

Jiang Muye was just holding his laptop and about to set off for the hospital when a burst of noisy clamor came from outside.

Why was it so noisy outside?

So loud!

Jiang Muye frowned, and then he saw Kai come rushing frantically into the dorm, roaring, "Muzi, something's wrong! Something happened outside!"
