Chapter 63: Which Man Stays Composed When Tempted?
The moment Jiang Muye cast that burning gaze her way, Leng Ruoli felt it instantly. Her little face flushed pink. "I… I don't know."
Maybe he would do it countless times, pursuing her until she agreed.
Of course, if he didn't agree, she wouldn't force him.
She liked him, so it didn't matter to her whether he rejected her or not. Even if they never ended up together, so what? She could quietly keep her feelings tucked away in her heart and continue watching over him.
As long as he was happy, as long as he could be with the person he liked, that was enough.
"You have to have dreams," Mi Lu muttered. "Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"
Then she looked at Jiang Muye with a smile. "Am I right?"
Jiang Muye covered his face with his book and said, "I need to study hard. Campus Belle Mi, don't disturb me."
Seeing Jiang Muye's resolute attitude, Mi Lu pursed her lips.
Hmph, what kind of blockhead is this? If any other boy saw me like this, he'd definitely be over the moon.
"I'll give you a pen." While Jiang Muye was lying on the desk, a black pen was handed to him from the side.
Jiang Muye followed the pen with his eyes and saw Leng Ruoli, a feast for the eyes, her face full of shyness.
"I noticed you didn't bring a pen, so… I… I brought an extra one."
She was especially nervous, her eyes blinking desperately, thick feather-like eyelashes fluttering.
Jiang Muye's lips curved into a smirk, and he subconsciously took the pen.
"Thanks." His magnetic words brushed past her ear so lightly, dealing Leng Ruoli a critical blow.
In that instant, Leng Ruoli's heart blossomed with joy, as if a little rabbit had hopped inside and started bouncing around.
She smiled shyly, saying, "No need to thank me."
After Mi Lu and Leng Ruoli sat on either side of Jiang Muye, everyone's attention focused entirely on Jiang Muye's area.
Two super beauties with completely different personalities, but both so radiant and stunning, were sitting right beside Jiang Muye.
What man could sit there unmoved?
Yet Jiang Muye was completely calm.
How many boys had already been unable to tear their eyes away from Leng Ruoli and Mi Lu?
"Campus Belle Leng is seriously too gorgeous, and Campus Belle Mi is too sexy. The way she wears that little skirt, I'm about to drool. Her legs are so fair and slender. It's just a pity they're too far away to see clearly, and I can't keep staring or I'd be taken for a pervert."
"Tell me about it. The only guy here who can look openly is Jiang Muye, heh heh. As long as Jiang Muye wants, he can even touch. It's not like I've never seen two girls fighting over one guy, but when was it ever this harmonious? Could it be that Campus Belle Leng is the official wife and Campus Belle Mi is the concubine?"
Then a girl grumbled, "Can you boys not have such filthy thoughts? I don't think Jiang Muye is the type to have one in each arm. He's so devoted. Anyone with eyes can see that the two great Campus Belles are the ones pursuing him!"
"Wrong, it's the Four Great Campus Belles. Didn't you know? Campus Belle Jiang is on the confession wall looking for Jiang Muye right now! It was love at first sight!" A boy directly corrected her.
The girl was astonished. "Really? For real?"
"Of course it's for real!"
"Then Jiang Muye is way too popular. His Peach Blossom Luck is overflowing. But how come only two of the Campus Belles are here? Where are the other two?" The girl felt it was strange.
"No idea, but just having Campus Belle Leng and Campus Belle Mi accompany him to class is a huge blessing!" The other boys started clicking their tongues, envious beyond words.
With two gorgeous Campus Belles accompanying you, who wouldn't love coming to class? Rain or shine.
Unfortunately, even if they racked their brains, such a thing could never happen to them.
While the other boys were as excited as if they'd been injected with chicken blood, Jiang Muye propped his chin on his hand, thoroughly bored. He wasn't like the other boys, darting his eyes around, either toward those full, sexy peaks or toward those fair, slender, long legs.
Right now, Jiang Muye was only urging the professor to come to class quickly, and to hurry up and finish.
So he could go back and sleep sooner.
So sleepy. So boring.
In the end, Jiang Muye didn't get the professor, but instead heard a gasp of surprise.
"Isn't that Campus Belle Xia? Why is she here too?"
Jiang Muye's heart jolted. He fixed his gaze over there and indeed saw a graceful, elegant figure appear on the scene.
Today she wore a light, mature-style mori-girl pale white dress, with a white woolen coat over it and Chanel earrings. Her long hair was pinned up with a pearl hair clip, her makeup exquisite, completely a pure and Pure Desire style.
Quite a few boys kept glancing at her, but she didn't spare them a single look.
She carried a gift box and walked up the tiered aisle, her target crystal clear, heading straight to Jiang Muye.
"For you. A gift of apology."
This time, everyone was completely shocked.
Xia Xiran had appeared in the classroom, and it turned out she was here to give Jiang Muye a gift!!!
This was unprecedented!
Simply comparable to a miracle.
Right now Jiang Muye was the most glorious existence around, with the super beautiful ice-mountain Campus Belle Leng Ruoli on his left and the sexy, charming Campus Belle Mi on his right.
And now the most intellectual and artistic Campus Belle Xia had appeared on the scene.
Xia Xiran's actions naturally also surprised Mi Lu and Leng Ruoli.
They had never imagined that after what happened with the escape room, Xia Xiran would still come looking for Jiang Muye.
Ripples rose in Jiang Muye's eyes. He looked coldly at Xia Xiran and said, "I don't want it."
The System replied: 【Congratulations, Host, on rejecting Xia Xiran. Reward: ten plots of land worth ten million each. You may dispose of them however you wish.】
Obtaining the land plots was beyond Jiang Muye's expectations.
But even if it weren't for the System's mission, he would still have rejected the gift Xia Xiran gave him. After all, he didn't want Xia Xiran to misunderstand that she still had a chance. Only by cutting the knot cleanly would he be truly kind to her.
On Xia Xiran's rosy, translucent face, deep disappointment surfaced. She said, "Last time we were too impulsive. After I went back, I thought about it for a long time and felt it wasn't right. I'm apologizing to you on Xiaoxiao's behalf."
"I was also in the wrong last time. Forget the gift, you can go." Jiang Muye felt that what he had done last time had been rather ungraceful.
He could accept Xia Xiran's apology.
But he didn't want to have any further entanglement with her.
Everyone was astonished. Xia Xiran had taken the initiative to make peace, and Jiang Muye had actually rejected her?
Xia Xiran seemed to have already prepared herself mentally. She forced a smile. "I'll keep the gift for you. Come get it whenever you come around."
Mi Lu pursed her red lips in displeasure, clearly not happy to see Xia Xiran.
Seeing that Jiang Muye was still cold and unfeeling, Xia Xiran didn't keep pressing. Instead, she walked straight to the back row.
Still the seat behind Jiang Muye!
She just sat down!
"You're not leaving?" Mi Lu asked in surprise.
Even Jiang Muye was quite taken aback.
Xia Xiran parted her red lips slightly and said, raising her head, "No one said I can't come to class, so why should I leave?"
Hearing that, Mi Lu was instantly frustrated.
Truly, speechless knocking on the door for speechless's mother—speechless to the max.
This Xia Xiran, she was even more persistent than she'd imagined.
Jiang Muye, however, was quite calm.
If Xia Xiran wanted to sit in on the class, let her. As long as she didn't disturb him, it was fine.
Xia Xiran was no longer a crucial person to him anyway. The circle was only so big. No matter how much she walked around in his world, Jiang Muye could keep his heart as still as water.
A broken mirror was hard to make whole again, and he didn't want to make it whole.
From Xia Xiran's angle, she could see Jiang Muye's upright, solitary back.
He didn't turn his head back, but Xia Xiran's whole heart was poured into him.
Xia Xiran slowly leaned forward, lying on the desk, gazing at him with deep affection.
Even if it was just his back, she was satisfied.
At least he was in her world.
She had also tried not to think about him, not to come see him, but her heart just wouldn't die.
Jiang Muye still held his lazy posture, looking at the blackboard.
Suddenly, a pair of fair hands slowly reached over from beside him.
Her fingertips were slender and white, with pale-colored nail art that made her nails look even pinker and prettier.
They stopped just in front of Jiang Muye's hand and didn't move.
Jiang Muye was a little puzzled.
What is she planning to do?
