Chapter 50: Protecting His Own
Boss Cutie
Just as Leng Ruoli was feeling somewhat nervous and uneasy, Jiang Muye's voice rang out.
"I had her set that lock screen. You got a problem with that? If she doesn't use my photo, is she supposed to use your Little White Dove's?"
Leng Ruoli trembled and looked over abruptly.
Jiang Muye was filled with an air of dominance from head to toe, his gaze wild and unruly, daring to square off against Suya head-on.
He was clearly helping her out of an awkward spot.
Leng Ruoli's eyes grew a little moist. She smiled sweetly, tasting a sweetness that made her heart flutter.
Suya felt a bit awkward too. She could sense the displeasure within Jiang Muye's lazy gaze.
She said sheepishly, "Of course not."
Little White Dove also glared at Suya.
Suya realized her mistake. She hadn't actually meant to poke fun at Leng Ruoli. The truth was, she was a little envious. Leng Ruoli came from a good family, was beautiful, got good grades, and had plenty of suitors.
She wasn't just the cream of the crop among the girls—she was also so brave when it came to love.
She didn't care about other people's opinions and went straight after the guy. That kind of courage was something most girls didn't have. At the very least, she herself didn't.
So in that moment, a sense of superiority seemed to come over her, and it slipped out before she could stop herself.
Leng Ruoli curled the corner of her mouth slightly and looked Suya straight in the eye. "I like Muye. Setting a picture of the person I like as my wallpaper is completely normal. Don't you do the same thing?"
Suya began to feel a deep respect for Leng Ruoli, and also some regret for her loose tongue. What right did she have to criticize Leng Ruoli, when Leng Ruoli was better than her in every way?
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Little White Dove and the others grew even more envious of Jiang Muye.
You could tell the Cold Campus Belle truly, deeply liked Jiang Muye. Even when she was called out to her face, she could face her own heart openly, without any beating around the bush or avoidance.
Jiang Muye's mouth curled up before he even realized it.
He had no idea why, but he felt especially great.
Wasn't this a better mood than eating ten plates of beef!
"You must be hungry. Hurry and eat." Jiang Muye began placing beef into Leng Ruoli's bowl.
Leng Ruoli nodded shyly and lowered her head to start eating the meat.
Only then did the atmosphere ease.
While they were eating, the deliveryman's voice sounded from outside.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, order ending in 9287. Your delivery is here."
"Got it." Jiang Muye was the first to stand up.
The others were bewildered.
Little White Dove asked, "Muzi, you're already eating barbecue. What else did you order?"
Jiang Muye only smiled mysteriously and came back after getting the delivery.
While Leng Ruoli looked on curiously, Jiang Muye placed the delivery in front of her and said with a smile, "Eat up."
Leng Ruoli's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked at Jiang Muye in surprise. "You bought me Taro Balls?"
What sat before her was Mango Taro Balls with Grass Jelly.
This was exactly what she'd asked him to treat her to yesterday.
She'd assumed he'd probably forgotten, but she never imagined he'd remembered so clearly.
"I promised, so I won't forget. Otherwise someone would never stop pestering me about it." Jiang Muye put on a fake look of disgust, then immediately moved to take the Taro Balls away. "If you don't want it, I'll just throw it out."
"I want it." Leng Ruoli immediately hugged the Taro Balls with both hands, completely unwilling to let Jiang Muye take them away.
Seeing her protective, babying manner, Jiang Muye couldn't help but smile. He urged her, "Then hurry and eat."
"Okay." Leng Ruoli nodded obediently and opened the lid of the Taro Balls to start eating.
This left everyone at the table stunned for quite a while.
The Aloof Campus Belle who, according to rumor, kept all men at arm's length, had turned into an obedient, adorable girl in front of Jiang Muye. How many of the Cold Campus Belle's admirers would be left with their jaws on the floor?
Jiang Muye observed Leng Ruoli for a moment.
Leng Ruoli brushed her long hair aside and ate the Taro Balls in small bites. Her pouty red lips grew moist, and the Taro Balls made soft gurgling sounds as she chewed them, her cheeks stuffed so full they bulged like a little squirrel eating pine nuts.
When she raised her eyes to look at him, her lashes curled and her eyes were bright and vivid.
Very sweet, like eating cherries.
Watching her eat, Jiang Muye's appetite grew, and he began to eat without pause.
You had to drink beer with barbecue, and Little White Dove and the others had started drinking long ago.
Jiang Muye's alcohol tolerance wasn't especially high, but at least three bottles of beer wouldn't knock him out. At most, he'd get a slight flush on his face.
But Jiang Muye had underestimated Leng Ruoli's alcohol tolerance.
While he wasn't paying attention, she secretly snuck a few sips of beer.
As a result, her cheeks turned red and she slumped over the table, dead drunk.
Jiang Muye looked at the already-drunk Leng Ruoli, greatly surprised. "Leng Ruoli?"
He only leaned in and asked tentatively, and Leng Ruoli lifted her burning red face and giggled foolishly, "Muye…"
A lovely voice, the tail of the word rising, like a kitten frolicking.
Her pale arms wrapped around him, directly hugging Jiang Muye.
Faced with Leng Ruoli throwing herself into his arms, Jiang Muye was shocked.
His breathing tightened.
Jiang Muye could also feel Leng Ruoli's burning gaze, nearly making him lose control.
No matter what, Leng Ruoli was a curvy, gorgeous beauty.
But in front of everyone, Jiang Muye had to have at least a bit of gentlemanly grace, or wouldn't he be no different from a beast?
Kai suggested, "The Cold Campus Belle's drunk. You'd better take her back first, so she doesn't lie here and catch a cold."
Little White Dove snickered, "Yeah, with soft jade in your arms, you probably don't have the mood to chat and eat with us anymore."
"Screw you!" Jiang Muye glared at Little White Dove, but thought Kai's suggestion was good, so he said, "Alright, I'll take her back to the dorm first. You guys keep eating."
After Jiang Muye paid the bill, he began helping Leng Ruoli out.
After he carried Leng Ruoli into the car, just as he was about to buckle her seatbelt, Leng Ruoli slammed down with a thud and pinned Jiang Muye onto the seat.
Jiang Muye's body trembled. He could feel a soft, pliant body groping above him. Her long legs were like octopus tentacles, wrapping tightly around his firm waist and refusing to let go.
Jiang Muye's breath caught. He said, "Leng Ruoli, what are you doing? Wake up."
She lifted her drunken eyes and smiled especially happily. "I know what I'm doing."
Leng Ruoli's small hand instinctively slipped inside Jiang Muye's shirt.
The moment her cool palm touched his skin, it sparked a trace of pleasure.
She even rubbed her delicate little face against Jiang Muye's chest, again and again.
Jiang Muye cried out that this was fatal.
He was in a sports car to begin with, and the seat could be adjusted.
Leng Ruoli casually hit a switch, and the seat flattened out. Immediately after, he was pinned even more firmly by Leng Ruoli, with even more room to move.
"Mmh, &¥@#…" Leng Ruoli pouted her moist red lips and mumbled something Jiang Muye couldn't make out. He leaned in, wanting to listen carefully.
He only heard a smack—an especially loud smooch—as Leng Ruoli's red lips kissed Jiang Muye's face.
Jiang Muye was utterly shocked.
Compared to his surprise, she was smiling especially happily.
Her hand slid into Jiang Muye's black hair, gently stroking.
Jiang Muye drew a sharp breath and felt a tingling numbness.
Leng Ruoli blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I like you so much~ so much, so much."
"Let me tell you!" Leng Ruoli smiled radiantly. "You've broken the law."
"Broken the law? What law?"
