Chapter 179: Bearing the Rod to Ask for Punishment
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
Even the Elementary School Gym Representative, the one who had once needed stitches after accidentally hitting Jiang Muye in the head with a soccer ball, sent a thousand-word apology essay.
In fact, back then this Gym Representative had been incredibly arrogant and domineering, throwing his weight around because his family had some background, and he had flatly refused to apologize.
The Gym Representative, who couldn't even fill three hundred words in an elementary school essay, now diligently poured his heart and blood into writing Jiang Muye an apology essay. Every word was filled with shame, genuine emotion, and even fear.
On top of that, the Gym Representative even sent him twenty exclusive red packets.
Of course, Jiang Muye accepted none of them, and deliberately ignored them instead, leaving the other party trembling with fear.
Satisfying!
So satisfying!
It was a real breath of fresh air.
People he hadn't been able to afford to offend back then had now turned over a new leaf, and before he could even settle scores, they were falling over themselves to apologize!
Sure enough, once a person made something of himself, everyone around him became a "good person"!
There were plenty of others like the Gym Representative, all of them coming to bear thorns and ask for punishment.
Those bizarre relatives from before also came to apologize to his parents, and of course, his parents either shut the door in their faces or gave them a round of sarcastic mockery.
It could be considered thoroughly gratifying!
But Jiang Muye had never imagined things would escalate so absurdly.
His elementary school teachers all sent him their regards, one after another.
His middle school teachers all sent him their warm concern, one after another.
And even his high school teachers—they straight up hung Jiang Muye on the wall.
That's right, you read that correctly.
They hung him on the wall.
Except it wasn't a black-and-white photo, but the Merit Wall of the school's Ten Outstanding Figures. They even invited Jiang Muye back to give a keynote speech and interview as a successful individual.
The entire school's teachers and students would have to attend.
Jiang Muye was flattered and overwhelmed. This was practically pushing him to the peak of life! Of course, Jiang Muye chose Da-meh.
Jiang Muye replied to the high school Dean of Discipline on WeChat: "Sorry, I'm just a student right now. I just need to do what a student is supposed to do. Nothing else is necessary."
Then he received a whole round of rainbow farts from the Dean of Discipline.
"Student Jiang Muye, you've truly brought glory to the school. To have such an outstanding graduate as you, our school is simply immensely proud… (a thousand words of praise omitted here)"
Jiang Muye: ???
He replied: "…Dean, that's not what you used to say. You said anyone who didn't study properly would end up moving bricks like me."
In fact, Jiang Muye had completely coasted through his first year of high school. He loved skipping class to play basketball, or climbing over the wall to skip school, and in the end he'd always get caught and dragged back.
He had been used as a negative example by the Dean of Discipline plenty of times.
It was only in his second year, when Jiang Muye got scared he wouldn't make it into university, that he mended his ways. Although his English was lopsided, he got into West City University on the strength of his sky-high scores in the other subjects.
The Dean of Discipline hesitated for a minute, then replied: "Did I? You must have misheard."
In the end, under the Dean of Discipline's enthusiastic invitation, Jiang Muye was deeply moved yet refusing.
And then Jiang Muye's rarely-used Weibo account was discovered.
It gained three million followers overnight, and they were still pouring in endlessly. It had already reached fifty million followers!
His three roommates clearly noticed the followers flocking to Jiang Muye.
Kai cried out in shock, "Heavens, even Chen Mi is following you! The drama she's in lately is super popular!"
"Not just Chen Mi, there's Dilraba too! That's a top-tier star!" Little White Dove got excited. "That's my Goddess!"
"Silly Little Sister is following you too! I'm so jealous of you!" Old He was so excited he rolled around on his bed.
Seeing Old He's excited state, Jiang Muye immediately felt gloomy. "Don't fall off."
"Hurry up and follow them back, you might just hit it off!" Little White Dove was so excited he was burning up.
Jiang Muye was unmoved. "Not interested."
"But they're big stars!" Little White Dove was dumbfounded.
"So what if they're big stars." Jiang Muye's tone was cool. "Are they as good as my girlfriend?"
Everyone compared them.
Although these female stars were famous and beautiful, they really couldn't match Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli was a wealthy heiress, beautiful, and had a good personality.
If Leng Ruoli ever entered the entertainment industry, with just that face alone, she'd start at the very top!
Jiang Muye's Weibo inbox was completely overflowing.
Besides declarations of love from famous female stars, there were actually revealing photos from big-name female influencers.
What was going on, were these influencers?
He was sure they weren't camgirls.
Jiang Muye, with a face full of black lines, chose to clear them all. Could these people please not casually hit on random young men?
Besides the big stars and female influencers, even Jiang Xueli started pestering Jiang Muye relentlessly.
"Brother, just follow me back!"
Jiang Muye felt gloomy. "I don't use Weibo. Look, I don't follow anyone on my Weibo."
"But the whole internet is following you!" Jiang Xueli crossed her hands and rested them under her chin, looking up at Jiang Muye with admiration. "Being followed by your Weibo is seriously super face-giving!"
Jiang Muye furrowed his brows. Was it really that exaggerated?
Although Jiang Xueli had no blood relation to him, Jiang Muye still doted on her like a little sister, and Jiang Xueli had helped him out quite a bit before.
Following her was a mere lift of the hand.
Of course, before Jiang Muye casually followed Jiang Xueli, he had secretly followed Leng Ruoli's Weibo first.
Heh, girlfriend comes first.
After Leng Ruoli discovered that Jiang Muye was following her, her heart felt incredibly sweet.
She met Jiang Muye downstairs from the dormitory and smiled. "I heard you secretly followed me."
"How is that secret? I followed you openly and upright." The corner of Jiang Muye's mouth quirked up. "My follow list only has two people. The first is you, the second is Jiang Xueli."
"One is my beloved, one is my sister."
His magnetic voice stirred Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli secretly smiled, and she took the initiative to tightly hold Jiang Muye's hand.
"Let's go, let's go on a date." Jiang Muye rubbed Leng Ruoli's hair.
Afterward, they went to the mall.
【Congratulations, Host, on a successful Check-in at the mall. You have obtained six hundred Grit Points.】
Originally Jiang Muye had planned to watch a movie with Leng Ruoli, but who would have thought they'd run into a group of female fans outside. They excitedly swarmed around Jiang Muye: "Are you Jiang Muye? Can we take a photo together!"
"Wow, I'm so lucky today, will you give me your autograph! I really like you!"
Jiang Muye's popularity was now even higher than top-tier stars, not only in domestic entertainment, but he was also hot on YouTube.
This completely exceeded Jiang Muye's imagination.
And the hands that Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had been holding were pulled apart by the jostling of those female fans.
Even Leng Ruoli was pushed to the outside. She was clearly bewildered, entirely unprepared for a situation like this.
Jiang Muye was immediately displeased.
When the female fans crowded over, he unhappily pushed aside the people pressing close, crossed through the sea of people, and walked toward Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli was surprised, watching Jiang Muye walk up to her, light shimmering brilliantly around him.
And everyone else stared at this scene in astonishment.
"Sorry, I'm not a star. No autographs, no photos. I just want to accompany my girlfriend." Jiang Muye firmly gripped Leng Ruoli's hand, their fingers interlocked.
【Congratulations, Host, on refusing the fans. You have obtained twenty points of Social Butterfly Syndrome.】
He leaked domineering aura, not caring at all who was infatuated with him, who was screaming for him, or who was astonished that he'd openly announced his relationship.
Jiang Muye went his own way, pulling Leng Ruoli along and shaking off those clinging female fans.
After seeing Jiang Muye's actions, Leng Ruoli's eyes held deep fascination for Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye naturally felt it.
Leng Ruoli hooked her arm around Jiang Muye's, far more intimate than before.
She smiled sweetly. "Come on, I'll take you to drink chocolate milk."
"Hm?"
"I'm in a good mood." Leng Ruoli's eyes curved.
Jiang Muye smiled and followed Leng Ruoli.
Whatever, wherever she went, he'd follow.
High atop a building, a figure leaned on the railing, coldly watching this scene.
Beneath the man's gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes flashed with a trace of mockery.
