Chapter 406: Underground Romance

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

"Don't forget you've still got me. Stop worrying, it's all ordered, I'll drink it," Jiang Muye said cheerfully.

Leng Ruoli giggled. "Right, there's still you. It's so good having a boyfriend, I can even mooch a sip off you."

Hearing that, Jiang Muye cocked an eyebrow smugly. "Damn right. See how good it is having a boyfriend."

He pulled Leng Ruoli's shoulders closer and gave her a hint. She rose on her tiptoes and pecked him on the lips.

Jiang Muye basked in it after being kissed. He could feel the envious gazes of the people around them.

Some even secretly took photos with their phones.

But Jiang Muye didn't mind in the slightest.

He and Leng Ruoli were together openly and upright, so why would he be afraid of other people? It wasn't an affair, and it wasn't some secret romance.

From the very beginning, Jiang Muye had wanted to stand with the person he liked under the sun.

After ordering, the corner of Jiang Muye's mouth curved up. "Done, order's placed. Let's go look around, and come back for it when it's ready."

"Okay~" Leng Ruoli nodded in agreement.

There were plenty of shops selling handmade custom goods, decorated in a rather antique style, and the little trinkets were dazzling to the eye.

"This phone case is so cute, it even has a little fuzzy ball. Let's use a matching pair!" Leng Ruoli spotted a cute phone case and couldn't bear to put it down.

"Seems a bit childish," Jiang Muye answered instinctively.

Of course it was fine for a girl to use, but he was a guy. If he used this phone case, he'd probably get laughed at by his roommates.

"Oh, seems like it a bit. Then let's switch to a Marvel one, how about this Iron Man one? You like it, don't you." Leng Ruoli froze for a moment, forced a smile, and switched to another phone case.

But then she saw Jiang Muye reach out and pick up the cute phone case she'd put down.

He just slipped it on and used it.

Leng Ruoli was astonished. "Didn't you say it was childish?"

He coughed. "Actually, being a little childish is fine too."

The main thing was he didn't want to see her disappointed.

She was so considerate, always catering to his tastes, and that left Jiang Muye a bit uncomfortable. The two of them being together was about giving to each other.

So what if his roommates laughed him to death? She liked it, after all. If it made her happy, being laughed at was no big deal.

Leng Ruoli's eyes shone brilliantly. Thinking about it, she hugged Jiang Muye and, unable to hold back her excitement, praised him. "I love you so much, mwah, you're the best~"

Seeing her bouncing around and so happy, the corner of Jiang Muye's mouth curved into a smile.

"Let's go make cream-glue phone cases?" Leng Ruoli's eyes lit up when she spotted a certain spot.

"Didn't we already buy matching couple phone cases?" Jiang Muye asked, puzzled.

Leng Ruoli took Jiang Muye's hand and walked forward, smiling. "When it comes to shopping, the more the better. Besides, we'll use the cream-glue ones in front of other people, and when it's just us with no one around, we'll use the cuter ones."

Jiang Muye understood.

She was just giving him a way out, unwilling to let him be too embarrassed.

She was thinking of him—and wasn't he thinking of her too?

Jiang Muye couldn't withstand Leng Ruoli's enthusiasm and was dragged over by her.

The two of them sat together, and the boss's mouth was like it was smeared with honey. "You two really are a match, the most well-matched young couple I've ever seen. You two better stay good together, my daughter is a cp fan of yours."

Leng Ruoli was astonished. "We have cp fans?"

"Of course you do. I didn't know at first either, but you two are just too popular. My daughter hunts for your material every day to ship you, but sadly there's so little of it online." The boss sighed.

"Then let's take a photo together, boss," Jiang Muye said generously, then looked meaningfully at Leng Ruoli. "Consider it providing material for shipping."

"Really, is that okay?" The boss was extremely surprised.

She'd never imagined that such a glamorous young couple would be so approachable, not like those celebrities who put on one face onstage and another offstage, and throw their weight around.

"Sure," Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli said in unison.

So Jiang Muye wrapped his arm around Leng Ruoli's shoulders and cooperated with the boss for a sweet photo together.

When the Polaroid photos came out, the two of them each signed one.

Leng Ruoli lowered her head and wrote first, while Jiang Muye watched from the side.

The boss watched this easy-on-the-eyes couple and sighed inwardly that she'd once thought shipping strangers was absurd, but now, seeing this pair, she wanted to join the fandom herself.

It was like being back in her youth when she was in love, sweet and lovey-dovey just like this.

When it was Jiang Muye's turn to sign, Leng Ruoli noticed a little surprise.

Jiang Muye's signature was deliberately made to match hers, so at a glance it looked like a heart-shaped signature.

Seeing it, Leng Ruoli quietly whispered in Jiang Muye's ear, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"The little girls like us, so of course we've got to let them ship us like crazy," Jiang Muye said dotingly as he ruffled Leng Ruoli's hair.

Leng Ruoli's little face went red, and she nodded. "You're more thoughtful than me."

The corner of Jiang Muye's mouth curved into a smile. "When you like someone, you naturally think of more."

After signing the photo for the boss, the two of them started on the cream glue.

It was Jiang Muye's first time doing cream glue too, and he wasn't very good at it—it was a rather delicate, meticulous thing, after all.

By the time he'd squeezed out a big blob, he'd already noticed that Leng Ruoli beside him had gotten into the swing of it and was doing it very skillfully.

Her serious little expression was especially nice to look at. Especially how she bit her lip slightly and held her breath, working hard at it—it made Jiang Muye find her even cuter.

Jiang Muye deliberately, with a bit of mischief, lightly nudged Leng Ruoli's arm with his elbow.

As a result, Leng Ruoli smeared hers, and in an instant a murderous glare came flying at him.

"Muye!" She pouted, putting him on trial.

"My bad, my bad~" Jiang Muye laughed and leaned against Leng Ruoli's shoulder. "Just teasing you."

Leng Ruoli rubbed Jiang Muye's black hair and said, "Be good, no fooling around."

"Why are you coaxing me like you're coaxing a child?" Jiang Muye looked at her with a smile.

"You coax me like this all the time."

"I do not!" Jiang Muye retorted.

"You do!"

"Don't believe it~!"

"You do too."

Jiang Muye didn't let her off. "No."

"Are we really going to argue about this? Right now we're like kindergarten kids," Leng Ruoli said, holding back a smile but forcing a straight face, pretending to be angry.

She deliberately ignored Jiang Muye.

Even when Jiang Muye reached out to prod her, she paid him no mind.

"Be good, still angry now?" Jiang Muye was naturally aware she was playing with him, so he deliberately wrapped his arm around Leng Ruoli's waist and tickled her.

Especially tickling Leng Ruoli's belly.

That was Leng Ruoli's most sensitive spot—she was the most ticklish there.

Now that she was being tickled, she twisted and turned like an earthworm.
