Chapter 35: Deeply Devoted

The Aloof Campus Belle Strongly Flirts With Me After I Propose 99 Times and Get Rejected: Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

While Mi Lu was swearing with a face full of resentment that she would dig through the ground to find him, Jiang Muye was sleeping exceptionally soundly.

He slept all the way until noon.

When he woke up at noon, a steaming hot meal was already set out on the table.

It was the food Kai had brought him from the cafeteria.

Sweet and sour meatballs, fish-flavored shredded pork, preserved vegetable pork belly, and three-delicacy baby cabbage.

Damn, it really was a feast.

Jiang Muye ate exceptionally well, feeling like life was truly wonderful.

But Kai never returned to his seat, and instead just stood beside him.

Jiang Muye bit his chopsticks and asked in confusion, "What's up, Kai, something the matter?"

Kai scratched his hair sheepishly. "Isn't Xiao Yue's birthday coming up soon? I have a request to make of you."

"Don't tell me you want me to throw her a birthday party," Jiang Muye asked doubtfully.

"No, it's just that the Cold Campus Belle…" Kai found it a bit hard to bring up.

Seeing how thin-skinned Kai was, Little White Dove immediately spoke on his behalf. "He wants to know where the Cold Campus Belle bought that light blue dress she wore on Tuesday morning."

Kai nodded. "Xiao Yue really likes it and desperately wants one too. Her birthday's coming up, so I was thinking of buying one to give her. I'm too embarrassed to ask the Cold Campus Belle myself, but you know her, so if you go ask, she'll definitely tell you."

Jiang Muye more or less understood what Kai meant.

"This isn't hard for me. I'll go give it a try." After all, a brother needed help, so he'd help if he could.

Seeing Jiang Muye agree, Kai was overjoyed. "Thanks so much, you're a real bro. I'll buy you a week of meals!"

Since he'd agreed to help Kai, Jiang Muye had to keep his word.

So Jiang Muye picked up his phone and started asking Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye: Leng Ruoli, that light blue dress you wore before was really pretty.

Leng Ruoli had been doing yoga in her dorm, panting and flushed, but when she received Jiang Muye's WeChat message, she was instantly stunned.

Then her cheeks turned bright red.

He noticed what I was wearing.

And he even said I looked pretty in it.

Should I wear this dress again when I go see him today?

"Ding dong."

Another WeChat notification sounded.

Leng Ruoli immediately checked the message.

1%: My roommate Kai wants to buy a dress for his girlfriend, and he just happened to take a liking to the one you bought. Could you tell me where you got it?

Leng Ruoli felt slightly disappointed inside.

So that's how it is.

But she quickly perked back up, thought for a moment, and replied.

Jiang Muye soon received the WeChat message.

Leng Ruoli: What a coincidence, I'm going to buy clothes today too. How about I take you to the mall to buy it? I have a membership card so we can get a discount. When are you free?

Jiang Muye replied: I don't have class today, I'm free anytime.

Leng Ruoli: Then let's meet downstairs at the dorm at twelve.

Jiang Muye told his roommates exactly what Leng Ruoli had said. "We're heading to the mall in a bit."

He hadn't expected Little White Dove to say, "I'm going to the library with Suya."

Old He said, "Yeah, I have to accompany my girlfriend too!"

"Then what about you?" Jiang Muye looked at Kai.

Kai said sheepishly, "Xiao Yue wants me to go to IKEA with her today, so I probably can't make it. Sorry to trouble you to make the trip."

"So it's just me going?" Jiang Muye pointed at himself, feeling quite depressed.

"Come on, help a guy out all the way. Kai really can't get away, and besides, the Cold Campus Belle isn't some wolf or tiger, what are you afraid of? Have fun today," Little White Dove said with a grin.

In truth, the three of them had tacitly agreed not to go, all to give Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli a chance to be alone together.

The Cold Campus Belle had already hinted so obviously—if they went, they'd just be spoiling the mood.

Besides, the Cold Campus Belle really was a good person, and Jiang Muye ought to seize the opportunity.

If they were brothers, all the more reason to create opportunities for them.

Jiang Muye wasn't being coy about it either. It was just going to the mall to buy clothes—going alone, what was there to be scared of?

So at the appointed time, he went to wait downstairs at Leng Ruoli's dorm.

Jiang Muye had only stood there a few minutes before plenty of pretty girls were blushing and sneaking glances at him, some even unable to look away.

"Look quick, isn't that Jiang Muye? He's so handsome."

"I know, right! He's practically my standard for a partner~ sob, what a pity such a handsome guy can't fall to me. But who's he waiting for downstairs at the girls' dorm? Could it be the Cold Campus Belle?"

Then someone said with disdain, "How could it be the Cold Campus Belle? He's definitely waiting for Campus Belle Xia. Jiang Muye is so devoted to Campus Belle Xia! He proposed 99 times before, and I heard Campus Belle Xia has had a change of heart and the two of them are probably together now."

A girl quickly retorted indignantly, "But when Campus Belle Xia looked for Jiang Muye in the cafeteria, he ignored her completely, and the one sitting next to him was the Cold Campus Belle!"

"Can't you see that Jiang Muye is just using the Cold Campus Belle to make Campus Belle Xia jealous? Campus Belle Xia was his first love, and men can never forget their first love. Can't you allow the two of them to make up?"

"But I still think he's waiting for the Cold Campus Belle! Campus Belle Xia was too heartless, rejecting Jiang Muye's proposals a full 99 times, hurting his dignity and playing with his feelings. If I were him, I wouldn't go back to Campus Belle Xia!"

"No wonder you're single, how could you possibly understand a man's psychology? Besides, Jiang Muye is a famous Romeo. I don't believe he'd ever let go of Campus Belle Xia!"

Just as the group of girls was arguing heatedly, a familiar slender figure suddenly appeared.

Everyone held their breath, thrilled.

The girl's long hair fluttered, her lips red and teeth white, radiating a scholarly air, artsy and pretty. A pure cotton forest-style long dress made her look like an elf.

Her eyes glistening, she hurried over to Jiang Muye.

It was Xia Xiran.

The girls who had just been supporting Xia Xiran now began to gloat. "See, I told you so. Jiang Muye is definitely waiting for Campus Belle Xia."

This left the others feeling sheepish, and also extremely envious of Xia Xiran.

"Xia Xiran is so lucky, why is Jiang Muye so hung up on her?"

"Ugh, she's pretty, there's nothing to be done about it. If I were a guy, I'd be devoted to her too."

"I really misjudged Jiang Muye. He has no backbone at all. Campus Belle Xia hurt him so much before, and he still comes running. Serves him right if she dumps him later!"

Amid the crowd's resentful murmurs, Xia Xiran was feeling utterly refreshed.

After Jiang Muye rejected her, she had been utterly disheartened, lying in bed for two full days and nights with no energy.

After returning to her dorm, she was even more dispirited.

But a few minutes ago, her roommate Xiao Miao had told her that Jiang Muye was waiting for her downstairs.

She instantly came back to life and rushed down.

For Jiang Muye to wait downstairs at her dorm right now clearly meant he'd had a change of heart.

Of course, he liked her so much, how could he possibly not want her?

Unable to contain her excitement, Xia Xiran smiled at Jiang Muye. "Muye, you finally came to find me. You finally forgave me. Can we start over? I won't do anything to make you unhappy again."
