Chapter 404: Launching the Flirtation Offensive
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong
Boss Cutie
Jiang Muye lowered his head and said ambiguously, "Can saliva work?"
Leng Ruoli's cheeks went red to the extreme. She pushed him. "No."
"Ah, so difficult." Jiang Muye said this, but still complied with her request. He handed her the cup of water and personally fed her a sip. Leng Ruoli gargled and rinsed her mouth.
When Jiang Muye saw this, he burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at me for?" Leng Ruoli whined coquettishly.
"You really look like a little pufferfish." Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's pretty chin and dotingly rubbed his forehead against hers.
Leng Ruoli got smug. "Then I'll take that as you praising me for being cute."
Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's little cheek and said, "I'm saying you're chubby."
Leng Ruoli's expression changed when she heard this. She looked deeply aggrieved and innocent, and with an arf she lunged to bite Jiang Muye's hand again. Fortunately, Jiang Muye dodged quickly.
Jiang Muye lightly tapped Leng Ruoli's forehead. "You really don't go easy when you bite."
Leng Ruoli pinched her own cheek, where the warmth of Jiang Muye's pinch still lingered. "You didn't go easy either, pinching my face. No more pinching for you."
Jiang Muye laughed and wrapped his arms around Leng Ruoli's waist. "But I like the little pufferfish look."
"Aren't you afraid I'll launch a counterattack?" Leng Ruoli's brows lifted slightly.
"Heh heh, that would actually be pretty romantic." Jiang Muye thought for a moment, then said to Leng Ruoli.
After hearing his words, she grew even more embarrassed.
She saw Jiang Muye lift both her legs, and this shameful posture made Leng Ruoli panic.
"So tired, so tired~" When Leng Ruoli spoke, her soft little voice melted people's hearts.
"If I didn't know you were tired, would you be able to talk to me so calmly? Haha, I bet you'd be gasping for breath." Jiang Muye teased.
This made Leng Ruoli's little face flush red to the extreme. She immediately swatted Jiang Muye's shoulder, and Jiang Muye laughed so hard he forgot to go back.
The two of them snuggled for a while, and Leng Ruoli realized he wasn't being improper—he was washing her feet.
The floor was a bit dirty to begin with, so stepping on it naturally left some dust on the soles of her feet.
But there was no hiding how pretty Leng Ruoli's feet were. The soles were pink and plump, the arches glowing with a tempting pink, and just looking at them made Jiang Muye couldn't help but drool.
Once he had the thought, he naturally acted on it.
Jiang Muye leaned in and kissed them.
Leng Ruoli's face went bright red. "Aren't they smelly?"
He sniffed. "If you stepped on old-pit pickled cabbage with these feet, they'd have plenty of flavor!"
"Get out of here~" Leng Ruoli was deeply embarrassed and lightly pounded Jiang Muye's shoulder with her hand. Jiang Muye laughed so hard he nearly leaned backward.
After teasing Leng Ruoli for a while, Jiang Muye started wiping her feet, cleaning them thoroughly inside and out.
Once he was sure her feet were fresh, Jiang Muye brought Leng Ruoli to the living room to eat.
Leng Ruoli sat on Jiang Muye's lap. She was still wearing that one shirt, a temptation of beauty that made Jiang Muye want to act out, but thinking it wouldn't be good to be so unrestrained, he could only eat in retaliation.
"Tasty?" Jiang Muye asked Leng Ruoli.
"It's alright." Leng Ruoli's eyes curved slightly. She smiled and bit into a sausage. "But I'd rather eat your cooking."
Seeing Leng Ruoli fixated on his cooking filled Jiang Muye with satisfaction. He stroked Leng Ruoli's head and said, "Alright, then it's arranged."
"Okay!" Leng Ruoli clapped happily.
"That happy?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow.
Leng Ruoli said with great enthusiasm, "I haven't eaten your cooking in so long."
"What's your schedule today?" Jiang Muye asked.
Leng Ruoli looped both arms around Jiang Muye's neck and smiled. "That depends on how you arrange things as my tour guide."
The implication was clear, and Jiang Muye understood Leng Ruoli's meaning.
New Year's Day—naturally it only made sense for the two of them to spend it together.
"Alright, then I'll arrange it." Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's red lips and urged, "Eat up, we're going on a date in a bit."
Leng Ruoli intertwined her fingers with Jiang Muye's, smiling like a flower. "Okay."
While Jiang Muye was eating, she leaned over and took a whole bite of the soup dumpling on his chopsticks.
"Wow, what a huge mouth." Jiang Muye teased.
Leng Ruoli's little face flushed red. "I do not."
The scalding soup numbed her tongue slightly, and she braced her hand under her chin to catch it, trying hard to swallow the big bite. The soup dumpling nearly fell out of her mouth.
"Careful." Jiang Muye wiped the soup from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.
"It's all your fault for making weird comparisons." Leng Ruoli glared at him, thick with coquettishness.
"My fault? I haven't even blamed you for pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth." Jiang Muye's lips curved up.
Leng Ruoli burst out laughing, as if he'd hit her funny bone, and she simply couldn't stop. "Hahaha, that comparison of yours~"
"Did you eat Stride gum or something? Can't stop? Is my joke that funny, or do you just find me funny?" Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's earlobe.
But Leng Ruoli was laughing so hard she couldn't catch her breath. Her hot red little face was buried in the crook of Jiang Muye's neck. "I don't want to be like this either, but it's really funny. Ever since I got together with you, hahaha, my funny bone has gotten so low."
Jiang Muye was caught between laughter and tears at the atmosphere.
He looked dotingly at the girl buried in the crook of his neck.
Her eyes had laughed into slits, her nose was red, and both sides of her cheeks were bright red—an utterly ravishing sight.
So beautiful.
Jiang Muye couldn't help but kiss her lips.
Besides her own fragrance, there was a hint of soup dumpling.
Not greasy, with a savory meatiness.
"Still laughing?" Jiang Muye gazed at her lovingly.
"Haha, I want to~" Leng Ruoli whined coquettishly.
Jiang Muye tightened his arms around her shoulders and sighed. "What am I supposed to save you with, my love? So young and already silly. How do you stop your goofy behavior?"
"You're the silly one!" Leng Ruoli's eyes went wide.
Jiang Muye laughed and kissed Leng Ruoli three more times in a row, as if coaxing her. "Good, good, good, I'm silly."
After being kissed, Leng Ruoli's smile was very pure. Of course, it wasn't like before, where she couldn't control herself like some alpaca, but when she smiled and showed her little white teeth, it was truly fresh and natural.
Jiang Muye loved seeing her smile.
"Are you still eating breakfast or not? If not, I'll eat it all!" Jiang Muye said to Leng Ruoli with a mischievous grin.
Leng Ruoli panicked and reached to grab it. "I want to eat, I want to eat~"
She lunged to bite the food on Jiang Muye's chopsticks, but couldn't snatch it away.
She watched pitifully as he ate it with relish.
"I want some too~" Her trailing voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of grievance.
Jiang Muye met her longing eyes. "Don't you have your own chopsticks?"
Leng Ruoli nestled deeper into his embrace. Her little hand patted his chest, and she mumbled, "But I think food tastes better when I snatch it from you."
