Chapter 167: I Punish You to Call Me Hubby Ten Times
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
The System replied: 【Host, you can enter the System’s shop and exchange for Restoration Dew.】
Jiang Muye clicked into the System shop panel. After tapping search, he finally found Restoration Dew.
200 Grit Points.
Not expensive. He could still afford it.
Jiang Muye exchanged for the Restoration Dew without another word.
Originally, Jiang Muye had assumed it would at most ease the pain in his leg.
Who could have imagined that when he touched it with his hand—
Fuck, the wound was gone.
Jiang Muye: "???"
Did it have to be this miraculous?!
He thought to himself, if it can remove wounds, could it also remove scars?
Jiang Muye had just asked the System when it replied: 【Of course it can. No deception here.】
Jiang Muye instinctively thought of the scar on his shoulder.
He had no way of knowing when that scar had been left there. He couldn't remember it at all.
It was hideous and terrifying, exceptionally ugly.
He'd heard it could only be repaired with a skin graft. How painful would that be?
So Jiang Muye had never gotten it dealt with.
Now that he had Restoration Dew, why would he bother with surgery?
Jiang Muye instinctively pulled his clothes open and slid them down to his shoulder.
He immediately began using the Restoration Dew to repair the scar. His palm brushed over it, and the mark slowly began to fade, until only a faint red trace remained. Then the scar was gone entirely.
So miraculous!
Jiang Muye treasured it like a precious jewel, excited beyond measure.
This was a bit too awesome.
Really not bad.
Jiang Muye rubbed the skin, smooth as it had been before, his mood excellent. He would never again have to worry about wearing sleeveless vests and exposing that terrifying scar on his shoulder.
Jiang Muye got up and tested how his leg was doing.
Kai looked at Jiang Muye, who had just been hobbling along and crying out in pain, now striding about as if flying, and was instantly shocked. "Your leg doesn't hurt?"
"Of course it doesn't hurt." Jiang Muye got smug. "That was nothing."
After all, it had been healed by Restoration Dew. Not only was there no red swollen stinging pain, his whole body felt more refreshed and invigorated, and his feet moved like the wind. His spirits soared, and he felt as if even the old injury he'd sustained playing basketball had been cured along with it.
Kai was utterly baffled. Just moments ago Jiang Muye had been in agony. Even if his recovery ability was fast, it couldn't possibly be this fast.
But Jiang Muye was in a wonderful mood. He was a man with a System—how could he be the same as ordinary mortals?
When Jiang Muye went downstairs to get Leng Ruoli's food, Leng Ruoli was astonished to see him. "Isn't your leg injured? Why are you still coming downstairs? You could have just told your roommates to bring it up for you."
Jiang Muye hopped and skipped right in front of Leng Ruoli, bright and cheerful. "I'm lively as a dragon now. What's a little injury like that?"
Leng Ruoli hurriedly grabbed Jiang Muye's hand to steady him. "Don't jump around. Go back and rest properly."
Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli's face full of concern for him and immediately grinned. "Alright, your command is my wish."
"This is the dinner I brought you. I warmed up the milk for you, so remember to drink it while it's hot. You're injured now, and milk has high-quality protein that can help your external injuries heal. I also prepared a fruit platter for you. Make sure to supplement your vitamins and nutrition on schedule," Leng Ruoli paused, then instructed, "Don't eat fried chicken or barbecue for now. Those are too spicy and stimulating."
Jiang Muye nodded comfortably. "Alright, I'll listen to you. Now hurry back and rest, be good."
"Okay, I'll go then." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly and instinctively turned to leave, but Jiang Muye grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, coaxing, "I'm injured, you know. Give me a kiss and call me hubby before you go."
Jiang Muye's teasing made Leng Ruoli's temperature rise.
Downstairs at the men's dormitory, people were coming and going. Even the dorm auntie was watching through the window with the eyes of someone enjoying a show.
Leng Ruoli was extremely embarrassed. She was a person who blushed very easily.
It wasn't that she had never called Jiang Muye hubby before, but that had only been over WeChat. When had she ever called him that to his face? It made Leng Ruoli's little face turn even redder, her skin burning red.
"Can I call you that online later?" Leng Ruoli said shyly.
Jiang Muye instinctively flicked Leng Ruoli's nose and said dotingly, "What do you think?"
Leng Ruoli's fair skin had already burned red, her dewy skin so tender it seemed blood might drip out. A pair of innocent, beautiful big eyes glanced shyly at Jiang Muye. In the instant Jiang Muye lowered his head, she called out in a milky voice, "Hubby."
She leaned in and swiftly kissed Jiang Muye's cheek.
It was like a dragonfly skimming the water, a touch and gone, and she quickly pulled away.
Before Jiang Muye could savor it, he felt that sweetness disappear, leaving only the faint warmth on his cheek.
He was still wanting more, looking at Leng Ruoli with great dissatisfaction. "That's it?"
Leng Ruoli shook Jiang Muye's arm, her red lips murmuring, "There are so many people~"
That cat-like coquettishness was very much to Jiang Muye's liking.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly. "Fine then. Your punishment is to call me hubby ten times on WeChat when you get back."
"Huh?"
"Then twenty times?" Jiang Muye continued to tease.
"I…"
"Thirty times."
Afraid that Jiang Muye would keep pushing his luck, Leng Ruoli's bashful little face was about to bury itself in her chest. She hurriedly called a stop. "Just ten times~"
"Alright, then I'll let you off for now. Ten times it is."
Who told his little girlfriend to be so thin-skinned and so easily embarrassed?
Getting her to call him hubby had probably already made her throw all caution to the wind.
Anyway, he could record it when the time came. At worst he'd just play it on loop a hundred or so times. Heh heh, just thinking about it made him happy.
Jiang Muye rubbed the back of Leng Ruoli's head and said with a smile, "Go on back."
A tender smile surfaced on Leng Ruoli's delicate, vivid face. After gazing reluctantly at Jiang Muye from afar, she waved at him, and only then did she leave.
After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Jiang Muye picked up the things and headed upstairs.
Once he was upstairs, the roommates who had been in the room caught a rich, intense aroma.
"Wow, that smells so good. Muzi, what did you bring back?" Little White Dove sniffed, already drooling.
"I don't know either. My girlfriend gave it to me anyway." Jiang Muye was very proud.
The bag he was carrying was quite heavy. There should be quite a lot of things inside.
After Jiang Muye opened the bag, he found a soup set inside.
Little White Dove glanced at the logo on the bag and was overcome with excitement. "Isn't this stuff from Rufuji, the most famous place in West City? It's expensive and you have to wait in a long line for ages!"
"Rufuji? My god, isn't that the signature restaurant where it's five or six thousand per person!" Old He was drawn over too, eyeing Jiang Muye's food like a tiger watching its prey.
Jiang Muye had never imagined that Leng Ruoli would go line up to buy food from Rufuji.
Rufuji specialized in nourishing tonics.
There was a Clay-Pot Black Chicken Soup here. The fragrance of astragalus and ginger slices came out at once, aromatic and pungent. The broth especially was golden yellow, clearly simmered for a long time. One look and you could tell it was delicious. The chicken was tender but not dry, looking soft and succulent.
Beyond the Clay-Pot Black Chicken Soup, there was also stir-fried purple choy sum with cured meat, old-cellar baked chicken wings, stir-fried tofu skin with greens, pan-fried meat patties with shredded radish, stir-fried baby bok choy with smoked meat, plus a steamed egg.
On top of that there was a bottle of fresh milk and a boxed fruit platter. No wonder it was so heavy.
Even he felt it wasn't light. Leng Ruoli must have exhausted quite a bit of effort carrying it over.
"Wow, there's so much! It looks so good!" Little White Dove leaned in, about to bury his head in it.
"Back off, your drool's about to fall in. Get the chopsticks. I'm not a stingy guy, let's eat together." Jiang Muye called out.
When Little White Dove, Old He, and Kai heard that, they were delighted. The group sat down together and began to eat.
He had to admit, this Rufuji was really quite delicious. Expensive things really did have their reasons.
The few of them made short work of the dishes. Jiang Muye ate the after-meal fruit with relish, then picked up his phone and started chatting with his little girlfriend.
So he began to send…
