Chapter 156: Whoever Leaves You Lonely and Cold, I'll Come Keep You Company

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Golden Bar? Chanel lipstick? Armani lip gloss? Estée Lauder eye cream essence?

Her red lips curved slightly, and she couldn't wait to pull out the milk candy box.

But inside, milk candies were neatly arranged, one after another.

Leng Ruoli stopped short, and her disappointment deflated like a balloon.

"Is it just candy?" Once Leng Ruoli realized she'd guessed wrong, she was deeply disappointed.

Jiang Muye leaned against Leng Ruoli's shoulder and said with a smile, "Isn't it nice of me to treat you to candy? What else did you think it was?"

"I thought there was something clever inside, but it turns out there wasn't." Leng Ruoli's red lips muttered.

Jiang Muye pressed his cheek against Leng Ruoli's face, tore open the tin foil wrapper of a milk candy, and fed one into Leng Ruoli's mouth. Smiling, he said, "Here, have a candy to sweeten your heart. Don't let it go cold."

Leng Ruoli's disappointment was all filled in.

Looking at Jiang Muye's handsome face, feeling his tender gesture, and then hearing his magnetic words.

So what if it was just a box of candy?

It could still buy her over.

She could afford any Golden Bar, Chanel lipstick, Armani lip gloss, or Estée Lauder eye cream essence.

But the one thing she couldn't buy, only he could give.

A radiant smile rippled across Leng Ruoli's face. The two of them pressed close together, their gazes meeting, and her heart was sweet.

In front of Leng Ruoli, Jiang Muye picked up the milk candy box, and then, as if by magic, right before her eyes, his fingers nimbly swept past her line of sight. With a mysterious smile, he said, "Dang dang dang."

In the blink of an eye, Leng Ruoli discovered that the milk candy box in Jiang Muye's hand had vanished, replaced by a plastic box of Doublemint gum.

"Where's the milk candy? How did it disappear!" Leng Ruoli was overjoyed.

Curiously, she started running her hands all over him.

Jiang Muye could hardly take it anymore, and his voice grew husky.

This big treasure was just too good at teasing. Grabbing hold of him and searching him nonstop—didn't she know he was a man, one who could turn into a beast at any moment?

A deep smile played at the corner of Jiang Muye's mouth. He pressed against Leng Ruoli's ear and rubbed against it for a while. "Alright, stop feeling around. It's not on my body. I just did a magic trick for you."

"How did you do it?" Leng Ruoli's smile didn't fade as she gazed at Jiang Muye with admiration.

Jiang Muye blinked and smiled deeply. "A magician never tells his secrets."

In truth, he had entered the System and directly used "Item Transfer," which could make an item disappear for a short time and then reappear in his hand for a short time.

This Item Transfer was perfect for doing magic tricks, and of course, perfect for pleasing a girlfriend.

Leng Ruoli held the Doublemint gum and sighed in amazement. "How wonderful. In the blink of an eye, you changed it."

Then she noticed that the sound from inside the Doublemint gum box was very crisp, different from the usual.

Leng Ruoli quickly opened the gum box.

When she poured it into her hand, it was a pair of exquisitely designed amethyst earrings.

She was overjoyed and suddenly looked at Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye's eyes lifted slightly as he said to Leng Ruoli, "So you discovered the core of the trick."

He paused, took the amethyst earrings from Leng Ruoli's palm, and personally put them on her.

"Purple is your lucky color, and you especially love crystals, so from the moment I saw these earrings, I felt their owner should be you."

Jiang Muye leaned close to Leng Ruoli's ear and spoke softly. As he put the amethyst earrings on Leng Ruoli, he could completely feel her full, translucent earlobes trembling. She was both excited and shy.

Just as he remembered, once Leng Ruoli put on this pair of amethyst earrings, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She looked at him, smiling like a gentle spring breeze.

Fresh, clean, good-looking.

And their actions were clearly a heavy blow to everyone else.

"Can you two tone it down a bit? You start torturing the dogs the moment you show up," said Little White Dove, crossing her arms and shaking her head.

Jiang Xueli giggled. "I'm the real single dog here. You all have partners, I'm the only one on my own, okay. Haha, I don't need to eat tonight, I'm full from dog food!"

Little White Dove laughed and said, "Then let me introduce you to a boyfriend? Our department has no shortage of anything except single creatures!"

"Don't. With no man in my heart, I draw my blade like a god." Jiang Xueli laughed in reply. "I still want to be a single noble for a few more years."

"Then you'll probably have to eat dog food for a few more years. I finally got into a relationship, so of course I have to show it off to the end," Jiang Muye said with a chuckle.

Before, it was always others torturing the dogs. Who would've thought he'd have a day to torture them back.

After Little White Dove and the other roommates went back, Jiang Xueli also returned to the girls' dorm.

Only Jiang Muye remained, holding Leng Ruoli's hand as they slipped into the school's little grove. They stuck together for a long while and were reluctant to part.

Seeing that it was getting late, Leng Ruoli wrapped her arms around Jiang Muye's waist and wouldn't let go. She tilted her head, her innocent eyes gazing at Jiang Muye. "Let's stay a little longer. I'm the only one left in the dorm. Sister Mi Lu is gone too, it's so empty."

Her youthful voice carried a coy charm and a hint of pleading, enough to make Jiang Muye's bones go soft.

Jiang Muye lowered his head and nuzzled Leng Ruoli's forehead, saying tenderly, "I want to live with you too, but the dorm auntie won't spare me."

Leng Ruoli's pink cheeks flushed slightly, and a pair of glossy, beautiful eyes gazed at Jiang Muye with a smile. "How about you disguise yourself, dress up as a woman—maybe the dorm auntie won't notice."

Jiang Muye heard this.

Yo ho.

This was like a panda ordering takeout—bamboo shoots all the way home.

"I don't have curves, so how would the auntie not notice? Should I stuff two steamed buns in?" Jiang Muye joked.

Leng Ruoli smiled shyly and wrapped her arms even tighter around Jiang Muye's waist. "I don't care, I just want to stay with you a little longer."

"Good, good, good, whatever you say." Jiang Muye grabbed Leng Ruoli's little hand and felt a chill, so he said in surprise, "Why are your hands so cold? Here, put them in my pocket and warm them up."

Jiang Muye took Leng Ruoli's hand and put it in his pocket, breathing warm air on it for a long time.

His hand was already warm, and on top of that, he firmly clasped her palm, his fingertips deliberately tickling her palm lightly, which immediately made Leng Ruoli giggle out loud.

Her eyes held bits of bright, crystalline light, and when she smiled, her whole face was pink and lovely.

Although Leng Ruoli was unwilling to go back to the girls' dorm, in the end, under Jiang Muye's coaxing, she went back.

Leng Ruoli used her key to open the dorm room door.

Inside, it was empty. Sister Mi Lu's things had already been packed away.

It had always been the two of them in one room, and now that one person was gone, the other naturally felt unused to it.

Loneliness surfaced in Leng Ruoli's heart. Just when she felt empty and stifled, the door was knocked: "Knock knock~"

"Please come in, the door's not locked." Leng Ruoli called out.

The door was pushed open, and a crisp voice rang out: "Sister-in-law~"

Leng Ruoli discovered Jiang Xueli, her hair in twin tails, standing outside dragging a suitcase. Her appearance gave Leng Ruoli a big surprise. "Are you going on a trip?"
