Chapter 349: I Have a Special Gift for You
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
Xia Xiran's brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke mercilessly to the chattering girls: "This is a library, a place for everyone to study, not a place for you to gossip as you please. If you want to dish out gossip, go outside. Don't disturb others here."
They had thought they could get Xia Xiran to join in the gossip and dig up a bit of juicy material, but who would have expected Xia Xiran to be so thoroughly angry.
Before anyone could make sense of Xia Xiran's reaction, she responded with displeasure: "I've spent so long with him, and he's not that kind of fickle person. He's wholeheartedly devoted to Leng Ruoli. It's obvious someone is stirring things up behind the scenes, and only people with zero IQ would casually believe these rumors."
Xia Xiran was a very direct person.
He was, after all, a boy she had liked, so she wouldn't get to know Jiang Muye through other people's ears. She only believed in the Jiang Muye she had come to know.
Jiang Muye was someone who was devoted and steadfast in love. How could he possibly be a philanderer?
Especially now, when Jiang Muye was being doubted by the outside world, Xia Xiran felt all the more compelled to support him.
She wanted to protect her favorite, favorite big boy.
Even if she had absolutely no way to be with him, it didn't stop her from wanting to protect him.
"What if he's changed!" The other girls didn't give up and kept pressing, "After all, he had a change of heart and went and liked the Cold Campus Belle!"
Xia Xiran found it rather amusing: "That counts as a change of heart? He and I were never seriously together. Who he likes is his choice. Besides, do you only like one person your whole life? If you fall for someone else, does that count as a change of heart?"
That left the girls speechless.
"Alright, I need to study, and I don't want to hear a single bad word about Jiang Muye again. Otherwise, when you need to have credits deducted later, I won't go easy on you. No amount of pleading will work!"
The moment Xia Xiran put on her Vice President demeanor, everyone else panicked.
They wanted to dish out gossip, but they didn't want to put their credits on the line.
If their credits got deducted, it just wouldn't be worth it.
"Our mistake, our mistake, can't we just stop talking about it?" One by one they apologized sheepishly, only for Xia Xiran to cut them off, "Don't apologize to me. Go apologize to Jiang Muye."
That stopped the others in their tracks.
Who would dare go apologize to Jiang Muye? To be caught by Jiang Muye talking behind his back—did they still want to keep living?
Jiang Muye was swift and decisive, and held lofty status.
With their little mouse-sized courage, they could only chew their tongues behind his back. How would they dare provoke him to his face?
Now they had lost all face too, and could only smile awkwardly, make some excuse, and leave.
Xia Xiran spread open her book, but her mind wasn't on it at all.
Yuanyuan was in the middle of typing her thesis when she noticed Xia Xiran getting up.
She looked completely bewildered and asked Xia Xiran, "Where are you going?"
"I have something to do," Xia Xiran emphasized, "something very important."
With that, Xia Xiran left.
That left Yuanyuan completely in the dark. She had no idea what the important thing Xia Xiran had mentioned actually was, and Xia Xiran had already run off into the distance.
***
In the classroom, Jiang Muye was listening to the lecture and taking notes, same as usual.
The phone on his desk buzzed.
Jiang Muye picked up his phone and saw the WeChat profile picture that Leng Ruoli had popped up with.
He smirked and tapped open the message.
What came into view was a beautiful photo of Leng Ruoli holding a strawberry cheese cake.
Wife: 【A gift to cheer you up~ Eat something sweet, you'll feel better.】
Jiang Muye hadn't even tasted the cake yet, but his heart was already as sweet as honey.
Jiang Muye: 【Okay, I'll come eat it in a bit. Are you out of class?】
Wife: 【I skipped class~】
Jiang Muye was rather surprised.
After all, Leng Ruoli was a good student and rarely did anything like skipping class.
Jiang Muye asked: 【The good girl's learned to be bad, spank spank. Why did you skip class?】
Wife: 【I had no mind for the lecture, I just wanted to spoil my husband in every way, so I skipped class to go make a cake.】
Only then did Jiang Muye realize that the cake in Leng Ruoli's hands was one she had made herself.
He was rather surprised. After all, Leng Ruoli never lifted a finger for housework, and the last time she cooked, it was Dark Cuisine.
For her to make a cake that looked this good now, she must have spent quite a lot of time on it.
Jiang Muye: 【Good girl. In a bit, let your husband kiss and hug you.】
Wife: 【Shy, okay, waiting for you~ Also, I have another gift to give you.】
Her words left Jiang Muye puzzled: 【On top of that, what other gift is there?】
Wife: 【Hehe, you'll know a little later. It's a one-of-a-kind gift, the kind you've never received before.】
Jiang Muye was immensely curious.
So that meant this gift had a lot of value to it.
Otherwise his little fiancée wouldn't have said that.
Heh heh, could it be that she'd put on some sexy outfit and wanted to play some BDSM moves with him?
No way.
Haha, if anything, one should still hold onto one's dreams. What if they came true?
Jiang Muye licked his lips.
Just thinking about it made him a bit thirsty.
Jiang Muye picked up his water cup and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out over the broadcast.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt everyone for a few minutes."
Jiang Muye was drinking water, and the moment he heard the voice, he suddenly sprayed it out.
It immediately splashed onto Old He's back in front of him.
Old He turned around with an innocent face, and Jiang Muye awkwardly wiped it for him: "My bad, brother, I couldn't hold it in."
It was just that the impact was too great right now, and he was completely unprepared.
Little White Dove, however, leaned over excitedly: "What's going on? This is class time, why is Xia Xiran on the broadcast?"
"I don't know." Jiang Muye was completely baffled.
It wasn't just Jiang Muye; the other classmates were all at a loss too.
Even the professor lecturing on the podium stopped his lecture, dumbfounded.
The voice on the broadcast continued: "Here, I want to help clear up the rumors about Jiang Muye cheating. That is not the truth. He and Jiang Xueli are completely innocent."
"If he really were going to cheat, I would have had my chance to seize the opportunity back then, and I was the one with the best chance. As the middleman, I also know better than anyone how devoted Jiang Muye is to Leng Ruoli. No one could wedge their way in, including me."
"He's a classmate of ours. Now that he's being maliciously slandered, we shouldn't kick him while he's down at a time like this. Instead, we should unite as one and help him get through this crisis. Only that can show the cohesion of our university."
After hearing Xia Xiran's words, Jiang Muye was extremely surprised.
He and Xia Xiran had no overlap in their lives now. Ever since she came back from A City, Xia Xiran hadn't bothered him again.
Jiang Muye had never imagined she would come through for him in his hour of need. After all, not kicking a man when he's down was already quite good.
Now, hearing these words from her, a gentle warmth flowed through Jiang Muye's heart.
The other classmates, after hearing Xia Xiran's words, felt somewhat ashamed.
That's right. As classmates, they had been speaking ill of Jiang Muye behind his back.
Clearly at a time like this, they should have been reaching out to Jiang Muye. That was what counted as humanitarian. Not letting themselves be used as a weapon by just anyone.
