Chapter 138: Wedding Dress Proposal

Jiang Muye followed Kai's directions and looked straight up at the balcony.

What he saw below shocked him.

Amidst a heart-shaped arrangement of candles and flower petals stood a tall, pretty girl in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet of bright red roses as she waited.

This girl was Xia Xiran.

A large crowd of students had already gathered around, all of them watching with great interest.

Everyone had seen a guy propose before—that was a trend started by the Senior Jiang Muye. In fact, considering that he was the originator of the 99 proposals, the younger students had all copied him.

There was no small number of imitators, but none of them had ever surpassed the original.

But a girl proposing?

This was the first time anyone had seen it at the school.

The most exciting part was that this girl was Xia Xiran, one of the famous Four Great Campus Belles, and the person she was proposing to was none other than Jiang Muye, the originator of the 99 proposals!

Xia Xiran took the megaphone from the Girl with Glasses and shouted up at the dormitory, "Jiang Muye of Room 502, are you listening! Life always has its sunny days and rainy days, but the rain always passes and the sky always clears up. I believe it's the same for us."

"Everything I wanted to say before, I kept hidden in my heart, but today I want to take this chance to say it all."

"I don't want to regret the past. I want to change the present and create the future—a future with you."

"The old me didn't know any better. I always turned a blind eye to your feelings and took them for granted. But after I lost them, I regretted it deeply. I thought you would always stay by my side, but I underestimated one thing: no one stays in place forever."

Xia Xiran's eyes gradually grew moist. "Now I want to win you back. I don't want to say sorry to you. I just want to use the rest of my life to make up for the hurt I caused you. Jiang Muye, will you marry me?!"

Clad in her wedding dress, she was full of hope.

The crowd stirred, and plenty of boys felt their hearts itch.

A Campus Belle this beautiful, proposing and confessing in front of everyone—that was a very face-giving thing.

"As expected of Bro Mu, he's got Campus Belle Xia so crazy about him that she wants to marry him."

"If Campus Belle Xia proposed to me, I'd agree right away. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful and smart wife?"

Some were envious, and naturally some poured cold water on it.

"Late-blooming affection is cheaper than grass. Regretting it now—where was she before!"

"Even though Campus Belle Xia is a girl, I think Bro Mu needs to have some Grit. Don't go back to her."

Of course, there were also fans of Campus Belle Xia who defended her: "Isn't it normal for a girl to be a bit reserved? Besides, Campus Belle Xia has already lowered herself to propose. What more do you want?"

"Yeah, she's even put on a wedding dress. Just based on that figure, I'm rooting for Bro Mu to come around."

Just as the two sides were arguing until red in the face, a loud voice rang out from the crowd: "Bro Mu is here!"

In that instant, a light lit up in Xia Xiran's eyes.

She saw a familiar figure walk out of the dormitory entrance.

He was flanked by his three roommates, but he stood out like a crane among chickens, his shining eyes making Xia Xiran's heart pound like a drum, thump thump thump.

At this moment, he was walking toward her.

The Girl with Glasses said excitedly to Xia Xiran, "See, I told you he'd come!"

Xia Xiran lifted her smile, and the stone weighing on her heart was set down.

When Jiang Muye stopped in front of her, she directly picked up the DR Ring and said with a smile, "Put it on for me, Jiang Muye."

The other watching students began to mutter.

"Bro Mu really can't hold back anymore? Ugh, so disappointed in him."

"Considering that Campus Belle Xia is his white moonlight, who could let go of a Goddess they've had a crush on for so long? I bet Bro Mu was just pretending not to care about Campus Belle Xia before. Now his true colors are showing."

"Anyway, I fully support Campus Belle Xia and Jiang Muye being together. They're such a good match. Who wouldn't feel tender toward a beauty like this? It's only natural that Jiang Muye's heart would waver."

Just as everyone was preparing to witness the beautiful scene of the ring being put on, Jiang Muye tossed out a single sentence: "Sorry, you're blocking my way. I'm in a hurry."

Shock!

Jiang Muye had not agreed to Campus Belle Xia's proposal!

And this scene felt familiar.

It was exactly like the scene of Jiang Muye's 99th proposal to Campus Belle Xia.

But now the genders were reversed!

The one rejecting was Jiang Muye.

The one being rejected was Xia Xiran!!!

Xia Xiran's eyes went wide, and she met Jiang Muye's eyes in disbelief.

He was utterly resolute, his handsome face written all over with calm.

It was obvious that he was not joking.

This shouldn't be. How could he reject her proposal…

In Jiang Muye's mind, the System's reminder sounded: 【Congratulations, Host, on rejecting the Cold Campus Belle's proposal. Obtained 200 Grit Points.】

Seeing Xia Xiran's devastated state, the Girl with Glasses spoke up for her: "Jiang Muye, you're going too far. She's proposing to you, after all…"

Some people also felt Jiang Muye was too cold.

"Isn't this a bit much? She's a girl proposing, after all."

But someone came out to retort: "Xia Xiran deserves it, okay? Before, when Bro Mu proposed to her, she neither accepted nor rejected, just stringing him along. Now that he ignores her, she kicks up a fuss wanting Bro Mu to marry her, making it look like Bro Mu let her down."

"Who says otherwise? Any of the Four Great Campus Belles could marry Bro Mu, anyone but this Xia Xiran. She's too arrogant. If Bro Mu got back together with her, she'd just ignore him again. It's not like Bro Mu can't find anyone better, so why hang himself on this one tree?"

Everyone listened and felt it made sense.

The reason Jiang Muye was so cold now was all because Campus Belle Xia had been too heartless before.

And Jiang Muye looked sharply at the Girl with Glasses: "I won't accept her proposal, because I'm not interested in her, and I have no intention of cheating."

Jiang Muye's casual sentence was like a pebble thrown into a river, instantly splashing water.

Everyone began to stir.

"What's going on? Bro Mu has a girlfriend?! Who is it!"

"Is it one of the Four Great Campus Belles, or someone else? Am I on 2G internet or something!"

"I vaguely heard that Jiang Muye got off the market, but I'm not sure who it is."

As everyone puzzled over it, the smile on Xia Xiran's face could no longer hold. She put on a pitiful look and stepped forward to grab Jiang Muye's wrist, asking, "You're lying to me, right? You just want to anger me, so you made up an excuse to reject me. I won't fall for it."

But Jiang Muye pulled his hand free from Xia Xiran's grasp in displeasure.

"I really do have a girlfriend, and there's no need for me to make up any excuse to reject you. I've always been open and honest, and I tell it like it is."

Jiang Muye directly dialed a number on the spot and put it on speaker.

"Hello."

A pleasant, melodious female voice rang out from the phone.

Jiang Muye was no longer cold like before. Instead, his tone turned gentle: "Baby, tell them—who is my girlfriend?"
