Chapter 250: Although You Didn't Succeed, It Made Me Like You Even More

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye used every bit of the System's social skills.

His various sharp-tongued remarks infuriated Yu Xi.

Yu Xi said in a rage, "You think you've won! You can scheme against me, but someday you'll be schemed against in return!"

"Would I be afraid?" Jiang Muye stared at Yu Xi. "I'm not vicious, but I never said I was kind. Since you wanted to provoke me, I'll just destroy you."

I won't attack unless I'm attacked, but if I'm attacked, I'll certainly retaliate.

That was the rule Jiang Muye kept firmly in mind.

Yu Xi's eyes turned crimson. "You'd rather I go to prison—you might as well let me die."

"Death's too boring. I want you to live on all alone, and when you get out, no one will be willing to give you a chance. I just don't know if there's a chance to slap an electronic shackle on you. I hear it'd suit you quite well." Jiang Muye raised his head as he spoke.

He wasn't someone who liked to kick a man when he was down, but he kept every single thing Yu Xi had done firmly in mind. He wouldn't miss a single bit of payback he owed.

A single pebble could crush Yu Xi to death!

Yu Xi clenched his fists tightly, biting his lower lip, his eyes brimming with ruthlessness that was about to spill over. "The wheel of fortune turns. If you think you'll stay high and mighty forever and never fall, you're gravely mistaken."

"Even if I'm not up on top, I'm not in there." That single sentence from Jiang Muye choked Yu Xi into silence. Yu Xi was full of fire that he wanted to vent, but there was simply no outlet for it.

Jiang Muye looked at Yu Xi holding it all in, and it felt incredibly satisfying.

This was the day he'd been waiting for—he even had to thank Yu Xi for the assist.

If Yu Xi hadn't buried himself, how could Jiang Muye have set a trap for him so easily?

"Repent and turn over a new leaf. Otherwise, when you get out, you'll have a hard time of it," Jiang Muye said coolly, then stood up. Yu Xi panicked and tried to call out in every way, but was held back.

After watching Jiang Muye's back leave, Yu Xi's eyes turned crimson.

He propped himself weakly against the table, feeling like every breath was difficult.

It was clearly still bathed in sunlight, yet Yu Xi couldn't see a trace of light.

Even half a year in prison would feel like an eternity.

Yet at Yu Xi's most despairing moment, the person he most hoped for appeared.

When the other's tall figure was reflected onto him, the most despondent Yu Xi welcomed the dawn. Lingering on the brink, he let out a low laugh. "I knew you'd come."

…

Yu Xi's arrest was a good thing for Jiang Muye, and also a good thing for Leng Ruoli.

Aside from dating Jiang Muye, Leng Ruoli was naturally still busy with Yu Qianxia's matter.

After all, persuading Yu Qianxia to sing "The Star to the South" was too difficult.

Leng Ruoli made three visits, but Yu Qianxia remained unmoved.

She even discovered that Yu Qianxia was avoiding her.

Leng Ruoli waited an entire afternoon, but Yu Qianxia wouldn't see her, and even slipped away out the back door.

There was nothing to be done about it; Leng Ruoli could only return disappointed.

Thus, when Leng Ruoli ate barbecue with Jiang Muye, she was also absent-minded.

"Stop dipping that in the sauce, you've dipped it three or four times already," Jiang Muye reminded her.

Leng Ruoli's lips made an "ah" sound, completely wearing an adorably blank little expression.

Jiang Muye reached out, picked up a piece of fatty beef, dipped it lightly in the sauce, wrapped it in lettuce, and then fed it into Leng Ruoli's mouth. "Ah, here, eat."

Being fed barbecue by her boyfriend himself, Leng Ruoli of course happily ate it.

Jiang Muye's mouth curved upward as he wiped the sauce from the corner of Leng Ruoli's lips with a tissue.

Leng Ruoli smiled goofily.

It made Jiang Muye unable to look away at all.

He smiled and rubbed Leng Ruoli's cheek, asking, "Tasty?"

"Tasty?"

"Then if it's so tasty, why were you spacing out just now? Has something happened recently?" As soon as Jiang Muye asked, Leng Ruoli's eyes grew a little evasive.

"No…"

Jiang Muye leaned close, his dark eyes gazing deeply at Leng Ruoli. "You think you can hide it from me? If you don't tell me, I'll get angry. Shouldn't couples have no secrets from each other?"

After hearing Jiang Muye's sincere words, warmth rose in Leng Ruoli's heart.

She took a deep breath and said, "I've been agonizing over Yu Qianxia's matter."

"I swear I don't have anything going on with Yu Qianxia. She's just the Goddess of my childhood, that's all. It's not like I could have any strange thoughts about her."

Jiang Muye swore earnestly. "You don't need to be jealous. Actually, you're prettier than her, gentler than her, and more understanding than her~"

Leng Ruoli burst out laughing.

Seeing Jiang Muye's survival instinct online, she felt especially good.

Who didn't like hearing their boyfriend praise them? Leng Ruoli was no exception.

"Although your sincerity is plenty, that's not the key. The key is that I want Yu Qianxia to sing 'The Star to the South'—isn't that your favorite song? But she won't sing it."

At this thought, Leng Ruoli propped up her cheeks, deeply dejected. "Whether I offered a high price, piled resources on her, or found someone to do a guest appearance at her concert, she wasn't willing. I even staked her out, but she slipped away. It's just too hard."

After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye was a little surprised.

After all, his girlfriend having such a little scheme still caught him off guard—this was clearly her wanting to prepare a surprise for him.

Words that were merely glossed over in the cafeteria had all been remembered by Leng Ruoli.

Who wouldn't like a girlfriend like that? So cute, so charming.

"Although you didn't succeed, it made me like you even more." Jiang Muye affectionately rubbed the tip of his nose against her small, delicate nose.

Leng Ruoli's little face flushed pink, and she smiled shyly.

"I'll solve this problem. There's definitely a way to persuade her," Jiang Muye told Leng Ruoli confidently.

Leng Ruoli's difficulty was his difficulty.

He had a godlike System—was there anything in this world that was difficult for him?

Besides, even without the System, he could rely on his own ability to make Yu Qianxia sing.

Jiang Muye's eyes were full of confidence, and it made Leng Ruoli firm as well.

A task she couldn't complete would surely be completed if her boyfriend did it.

As they left the barbecue restaurant, the System began to remind him: 【Congratulations, Host, you've obtained a luck pouch. You can use it at the most difficult moment.】

A luck pouch?

Jiang Muye indeed saw a golden, radiant VVVVVVVVVIP lucky bag pattern in his mind.

The System explained: 【When you encounter difficulties, you can open the pouch and it will give you a friendly hint about what to do.】

After hearing the System's words, Jiang Muye felt extremely delighted.

That was wonderful.

It just so happened he was about to solve Yu Qianxia's matter—maybe he could use it.

The next day, Jiang Muye went to contact Yu Qianxia.

Although it was the second time seeing his idol, Jiang Muye's heart was still racing with excitement.

Jiang Muye desperately suppressed the joy in his heart and said to Yu Qianxia, "Big Sister Qianxia, I can give you the right to use the Red Hall's venue, as long as you agree to sing 'The Star to the South.'"

The Red Hall was the largest concert center, with an area even bigger than the Bird's Nest. It was just that it had too many seats, and combined with the excellent venue environment, the rent was also very expensive.

Yu Qianxia shook her head. "I can't agree."

"May I ask bluntly, why can't you sing 'The Star to the South'?" Jiang Muye asked with furrowed brows. "Mainly because, as your fan, I'm very curious—and not just me, others are confused about this too."
