Chapter 292: Night Raid on the Girls' Dorm

Jiang Muye glared at the Girl with Glasses. "You were the one who argued with her and drove her away. You're the one who should regret it. Because I'm not going to look for her. If something happens to her, you can't guilt-trip me over it."

Jiang Muye's thin lips pressed tightly together. "If you want to find someone, you should call the police. When it comes to Xia Xiran, there's nothing I can do."

He had a girlfriend now. Xia Xiran had at least been involved with him once, and this would make his girlfriend jealous.

Someone as kind and innocent as Leng Ruoli might not seem to care on the surface, but she would definitely feel a bit unhappy inside.

Jiang Muye was unwilling to see that happen, and even more unwilling to give Xia Xiran hope because of this.

After throwing out those words, Jiang Muye left without the slightest reluctance.

The Girl with Glasses was stunned. She had never imagined Jiang Muye would be so free and easy about it, not dragging things out in the slightest—just like his feelings for Xia Xiran, so decisively severed.

"What are we supposed to do now?" The Girl with Glasses sighed and asked Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan was deeply troubled. "We can only hurry and find Xiran. If we don't find her before lights-out, there'll be big trouble."

In the distance, Jiang Muye watched as Yuanyuan, Xiao Miao, and the Girl with Glasses ran around like headless flies. His eyes grew dark.

He picked up his phone and called a subordinate. "It's me. Help me track someone's location."

Although Jiang Muye didn't want to have anything to do with Xia Xiran, she didn't deserve to die.

Once he got the location, he could get someone else to safely bring Xia Xiran back.

He didn't want the girl he had once liked to really lose her life for nothing. That would be cruel to Xia Xiran, and cruel to the people around her.

Jiang Muye was having skewers with his three Beast Roommates when—BOOM—a peal of thunder rang out.

It gave Little White Dove a huge fright. "My god, why did it suddenly start thundering and lightning-ing? My underwear! It's still hanging outside!"

Little White Dove rushed off to grab his underwear, afraid it would get wet.

However, Jiang Muye, who had been eating skewers, darkened when he heard Little White Dove's words. "Thunder!"

His mind flashed suddenly to what his future Father-in-Law had said.

What Leng Ruoli feared most was thunder! He couldn't let her be alone!

Jiang Xueli was recently out of town attending an anime convention, so the only one left in the dorm was Leng Ruoli!

But Jiang Muye quickly calmed down and said to the System, 【I want to control the weather. Stop the thunder right now!】

He was Weather's Child, after all. He could manipulate the weather.

The System: 【Host, this is a permanent skill, so you've already used it once within twelve hours. The skill is currently on cooldown. It will be three hours before you can release it again.】

When Jiang Muye heard the System's words, he was stunned.

There was a hidden bug like this? Shrimp and Pig Heart!

This damn System deserved a bad review! It dropped the ball at the critical moment!

"Boom—"

Thunder was already rumbling outside.

Lightning flashed and thunder cracked, terrifying just to look at.

"Muzi, it's thundering so hard and raining so much—where are you going!" Little White Dove stared blankly as Jiang Muye grabbed a black umbrella and rushed out of the dorm.

Kai shouted too, "Yeah, it's about to be lights-out and the doors will be locked!"

"Don't wait up for me tonight!" Jiang Muye called loudly to his roommates and dashed downstairs without stopping.

Luckily, his hundred-meter dash was pretty fast. After running down the stairs, he cut off the dorm auntie just as she was about to close the door. "Auntie, don't close the door. I need to go out!"

The auntie was bewildered. "It's about to close, where are you going? Once you're out, you can't come back in."

"I know." Jiang Muye slipped out the door and immediately ran toward the nearby girls' dorm.

Outside, everything was pitch black. The wind howled, and terrifying lightning seemed about to strike down, appearing ghastly and fearsome across the sky.

"Boom—" Another peal of thunder crashed down.

Trees swayed wildly, and a black shadow sped forward at extreme speed.

He couldn't be bothered with the umbrella anymore. He ran fast, rain soaking his black hair and streaming down along his firm, handsome brow.

His eyes carried the light of conviction, extremely anxious, sprinting with all his might.

However, what he saw was the iron fence of the girls' dorm—already closed.

Jiang Muye pounded on the iron fence, shouting to the dorm auntie, "Auntie, open the door. I need to go up!"

The auntie, washing her feet in her room, was startled by the shouting outside.

She poked her head out in surprise, took one look, and saw Jiang Muye drenched like a drowned rat. She was stunned. "Young man, what got into you? Did you get dumped?"

"No, Auntie, I have something important. I have to go up. My girlfriend is terrified of thunder. I need to go up and be with her!" Jiang Muye gripped the iron fence and explained urgently.

The auntie said expressionlessly, "Young man, I've been on duty at the girls' dorm for over twenty years. I've seen plenty of guys like you, making up excuses to sneak up. I'm telling you, I'm not letting you up today. It's lights-out now. Everyone needs to sleep."

Going upstairs to be with Leng Ruoli right now was a matter of the utmost urgency, but the dorm auntie clearly wouldn't let Jiang Muye up.

Jiang Muye's brow furrowed tightly. He tried to persuade her. "It really is a matter of the utmost urgency. I'm not lying to you. How about you go take a look at 405?"

The auntie said expressionlessly, "The girls are all resting. That's enough. Don't harass her. If you really have something, call her phone. Young man, go back."

Jiang Muye was helpless.

He immediately grabbed his phone and dialed Leng Ruoli's number.

No answer.

"Boom—"

A bolt of lightning struck down.

Jiang Muye was frantic with worry.

He walked out into the rain, looking toward the direction of Leng Ruoli's dorm.

"Leng Ruoli! Leng Ruoli, I'm here!" Jiang Muye shouted loudly.

His eyes stared feverishly at the glass door of the balcony.

His mind was full of nothing but the thought that Leng Ruoli would appear.

However, no matter how he called, Leng Ruoli's figure never appeared.

So what should he do now? He couldn't get up, and she couldn't come down.

Jiang Muye had no way of knowing what the situation was like for Leng Ruoli inside.

The scene at the Western Restaurant last time was still shocking to recall. Jiang Muye really didn't dare imagine what kind of scene it would be if something like that happened again.

A numbness spread through Jiang Muye's chest. He felt like every breath was a painful tremble.

Rain washed over his face. Water had already gotten into his eyes, obstructing his vision, but Jiang Muye still shouted at the window, "Leng Ruoli, I'm here with you!"

At that moment, one window after another was pulled open.

But they were from Yuanyuan's dorm.

Yuanyuan and the others stared blankly at Jiang Muye below, shouting like he was breaking down. She was shocked. "What's going on?"

The Girl with Glasses came to watch the fun too. "Seems like he's calling for the Cold Campus Belle. What's he doing?"
