Chapter 385: So Good It Smells

Jiang Muye had mixed feelings.

On one hand, he hoped she would get close to him. On the other, he couldn't stand her getting close.

"Leng Ruoli, can you not go making decisions on your own! We've already broken up, so please don't touch my takeout anymore!"

"I was just doing it in passing…"

"I don't need you sticking your nose in." Jiang Muye snapped back at her.

He was deliberately being fierce. He was afraid that he'd keep falling for her.

The present him didn't want to keep being as foolish as before. If he got back together with Leng Ruoli, there was a very good chance he'd end up being deceived and betrayed again.

Jiang Muye didn't want to let himself sink so low, and he wanted even less to stay foolish to the very end while people laughed at him behind his back.

Leng Ruoli's jet-black lashes trembled slightly from being yelled at, and she just gave a little "Oh."

She reminded Jiang Muye, "The malatang's been sitting a while. You should hurry upstairs and eat it."

Jiang Muye looked at the corners of her eyes, curved as she smiled. A feeling he couldn't put into words rose in his heart, as if someone had knocked over a bottle of mixed emotions.

He'd clearly already decided to forget her completely, yet now she kept circling around in his world, leaving him utterly defeated.

"Don't put on that fake act." After Jiang Muye said this coldly, he turned and left without a second thought.

When he got back to the dorm, he'd originally wanted to just throw that malatang away.

But on second thought, he'd bought it with his own money. Why throw it away?

Good food must not be let down, and it would be a waste of heaven's bounty.

Jiang Muye opened the lid of the takeout and saw the enticing cured chicken leg laid on top. His eyes suddenly grew a little hot.

Damn it, in the blink of an eye he was thinking of all the little moments with Leng Ruoli.

The days of eating together with her felt like just yesterday.

Why was he being so pathetic, thinking about her like this!

Jiang Muye vengefully took a huge bite of the cured chicken leg.

Damn, so good.

This was the flavor!

Jiang Muye had now turned his anger into appetite, desperately stuffing himself.

After he finished, his belly was already round and bulging.

Only then did his earlier unhappiness lessen a bit.

While Jiang Muye was rubbing his belly, Kai came up.

"You had a delivery. I brought it up for you as soon as the delivery guy got here." Kai placed a full platter of fruit, along with a box of cherries, in front of Jiang Muye.

"Holy shit, cherries! Big spender, huh! Cherries are sixty yuan a catty right now!" Little White Dove leaned over, his eyes bright and shining.

Jiang Muye, however, was rather puzzled. "I never bought any cherries. Did you get the wrong one?"

"No mistake, it's yours. Look, the buyer and phone number are both yours." Kai handed the delivery slip to Jiang Muye to look at.

After Jiang Muye looked, his brows knitted tightly.

He instinctively picked up his phone, instinctively about to open WeChat.

As a result, Jiang Muye realized he'd long since blocked Leng Ruoli.

Looking at the spot at the top of his chat list that used to be so familiar, now completely empty, he felt extremely out of place.

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Muye immediately dialed a number.

Although he'd already deleted that person's number from his phone, her number was right there in his head. He could think it up whenever he wanted.

After typing out the number, Jiang Muye called it. "Hello."

A moment later, he heard the overjoyed voice on the other end of the line.

"Muye, what made you suddenly think to call me?"

Hearing the other's bashful yet barely-contained excited voice, he actually felt a bit of his blood racing.

Although he couldn't see Leng Ruoli, he could completely picture the scene through her voice.

"Don't buy me those fruits anymore, I don't want them. I'll have someone send them back to you in a bit. If you won't take them, I'll just throw them away." Jiang Muye spoke coldly.

Since he'd chosen to break up, he didn't want to leave things dangling.

Whoever left whoever, the earth still spun, and he was still alive.

At most it hurt a little. Nothing serious.

The other end of the line fell silent.

Jiang Muye heard a burst of rapid breathing.

Was she nervous?

"Hello." The phone seemed to have changed hands.

Jiang Muye immediately heard Mi Lu's voice, and a hint of surprise appeared in his heart.

"Those fruits you mentioned, I bought them all~ So, do you like them? If you dare send them back to me, believe it or not, I'll barge into the boys' dorm right now and give you a proper punishment!"

"Sister Mi Lu, you're really something…" Jiang Muye knew very well that Mi Lu was exactly that kind of hot-blooded girl. She really would do what she said.

"Anyway, you have to accept them. They're not just for you, they're a treat for your whole dorm! Eat them all up and get your vitamins properly, alright. Don't go around looking all haggard. That'll ruin the beautiful image of my first love!" Mi Lu began to scold Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye glanced at the mirror and was speechless.

"Do I really look that haggard? I clearly look more mature and handsome."

After bantering with Mi Lu for a while, Jiang Muye hung up and said to his roommates, who were eyeing him like tigers: "Brothers, let's split it. Mi Lu bought it."

Several people cheered and pounced like starving wolves, dividing it up in no time flat. Even Jiang Muye only got to taste a bit of fresh cantaloupe.

You bunch of animals!~

In Leng Ruoli's dorm, Mi Lu had her hand on Leng Ruoli's shoulder and grumbled, "I never imagined that brat Jiang Muye would be so dense. He actually turned down a girl's kindness, and even came to chew you out."

Leng Ruoli gratefully grasped Mi Lu's hand on her shoulder and said, "Sister Mi Lu, thank you for bailing me out just now. There's nothing I can do about it. After all, he's misunderstanding me right now. When the time is right, I'll have to find a chance to talk with him properly."

"The conflict between you two runs too deep." Mi Lu shook her head. "Who could've expected Yu Xi to pop up out of nowhere."

"As for Yu Xi, I'll handle it properly. I won't let him go making trouble for Muye again." Leng Ruoli looked at Mi Lu earnestly.

The corners of Mi Lu's lips curled up, and she rubbed Leng Ruoli's soft, pretty hair. "You go girl, I have high hopes for you two. I'm going to be a bridesmaid at your wedding~ When that happens you'd better give me a few extra boxes of wedding candy, and any kids you have down the line have to call me godmother."

Mi Lu had now come around.

Since there was no way for her to be with her first love, then she'd just have her first love's kid call her mom. Rounding it off, she'd gotten the better of it verbally.

"Of course I'll have them call you godmother. You'll be the one and only godmother!"

"Hey, with that, I've got to help push you two together, so hurry up and make up."

Leng Ruoli clenched her little fist and began to cheer herself on. "I'll do my best~"

"If you can't catch him, just pounce on him. Since ancient times, the beauty trap has always been the most useful. What hero could ever escape it? If words don't work, just step up and kiss him. If he runs at the sight of you, just step forward and push him down! Hungry men fear clinging women, he won't escape!" Mi Lu playfully groped her chest.

Leng Ruoli let out a red-faced shriek and immediately covered herself, shyly mumbling, "Sister Mi Lu~"
