Chapter 67: You Only Want to Post on Moments for Someone You Like
Jiang Muye had turned down her marriage proposals 99 times, and now the Aloof Campus Belle was coming on strong.
"Boss Cutie"
Leng Ruoli's little face was red with embarrassment. "I just wanted to take a picture."
"Come on, let's take one together." Mi Lu started posing.
Leng Ruoli didn't act shy either, and directly took a photo together with Mi Lu.
After it was taken, Mi Lu looked at the photo, her red lips pursing slightly with envy. "Your skin really is great. You don't even need skin-smoothing or beauty filters, it's all white and smooth. No pimples, no puffiness. The worst part is your face is seriously so small!"
"Yours is small too."
"That's different. Yours is a palm-sized face, it's killing me. If you went to be a model, you'd be famous instantly." Mi Lu wasn't flattering Leng Ruoli, she was telling the truth.
Leng Ruoli really was as pretty as a doll, and her figure was super good too. She was definitely a top-tier beauty! She'd probably shoot straight up to supermodel status the moment she debuted.
It was just a pity Leng Ruoli had no interest in the modeling circle. Otherwise, a supermodel star would be slowly rising.
Leng Ruoli's face was flushed red, and she said shyly, "You're praising me too much. Alright, Sister Mi Lu, hurry up and go try on clothes. Don't you still have a good item left to buy?"
"Oh, I forgot, heh heh, then I'll go try on clothes." Mi Lu laughed cheerfully, then headed off to the fitting room to keep trying things on.
Leng Ruoli unconsciously started posting the photo they'd just taken to her Moments.
Her Moments was currently blank.
Before, she hadn't really liked socializing, nor did she want to show people her world, so she had never posted anything.
But now, she had a reason.
She wanted the person she liked to see what her world was like.
Text: [Today, shopping with my best friend.]
Below it, she posted a nine-grid.
Namely, her selfie and the photo with Mi Lu.
After sending it, Leng Ruoli cupped her phone and began to look forward to it.
At that moment, Mi Lu had already finished trying on clothes and come out. She curiously held up her phone and asked, "Ruoli, did you post to your Moments?"
"I did." Leng Ruoli nodded.
"That's weird. Is my phone signal bad? How come it's not showing up?" Mi Lu was very puzzled.
"No, it's because I set my Moments." Leng Ruoli suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
"You blocked me?" Mi Lu was surprised. "Could it be that because I'm your love rival, you're guarding against me?"
"That's not it!" Leng Ruoli explained anxiously, her face flushed red, and she immediately said to Mi Lu, "I set my Moments so that, other than Jiang Muye, nobody else can see it."
Mi Lu was shocked. "Heavens."
After she grasped the situation, she got excited. She lightly bumped Leng Ruoli's shoulder and teased, "You really know how to flirt, huh."
"N-no... I don't..." Leng Ruoli, being teased like that, had both cheeks red, and even her eyes overflowed with shyness.
"Only he can see your Moments, this is straight out of an idol drama. Your world, only he can break into, only he can take part in. He's one of a kind, he has exclusive privileges." Mi Lu sighed. "Even though you're my love rival, I'm almost ready to admit defeat."
Mi Lu looked at Leng Ruoli. "If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'm going to get turned gay by you."
Leng Ruoli instantly started stammering. "Ah, n-no... no way."
Seeing Leng Ruoli's terrified little expression, Mi Lu burst out laughing. "You're a little too cute. I'm just messing with you. My gender is female, my preference is male, and right now I'm interested in Jiang Muye. Even though you're pretty cute, I haven't planned on taking you as my wife yet."
Leng Ruoli's little face was flushed red as she gave an "mm."
"But did Jiang Muye like your post?" Mi Lu asked.
"I don't know yet."
"Then hurry up and check." Mi Lu urged.
Leng Ruoli quickly opened her phone.
There wasn't the slightest movement on her Moments.
Leng Ruoli's eyes were full of disappointment. "Not yet. He might be busy with something."
"Sure enough, a steel straight man." Mi Lu shook her head. "If it were me, I wouldn't just like it, I'd tease you hard."
"Sister Mi Lu!" Leng Ruoli gave a coquettish cry after hearing that.
She was prone to letting her imagination run wild.
Seeing Leng Ruoli's face red and ears burning, Mi Lu said with a laugh, "Alright, I'll stop, won't I? I'm going to pay. We've seen about enough, let's head back."
"Okay." Leng Ruoli nodded obediently.
After Mi Lu paid, she brought Leng Ruoli out.
Once they were out of the mall, they saw a very long line outside the mall's shops, with lots of people waiting to buy something.
It was especially lively.
Leng Ruoli took one look, and it turned out to be the grand opening of a Master Bao bakery.
Her eyes immediately lit up. "This pastry shop opened a chain here. This is Jiang Muye's favorite brand! His favorite is their pork floss xiaobei!"
"How do you know that?" Mi Lu asked in surprise.
"I looked at his Moments." Leng Ruoli said enthusiastically.
Mi Lu felt it was strange. "That's odd. I've flipped through his Moments too, why didn't I see it?"
Mi Lu had applied to add Jiang Muye on WeChat, but Jiang Muye hadn't accepted, so she'd used Old He's phone to look at Jiang Muye's Moments.
She remembered not seeing this one at the time.
"Just scroll all the way to the bottom." Leng Ruoli smiled at Mi Lu.
Mi Lu was shocked. "You read all of it?"
Jiang Muye's Moments posts were super numerous, probably several thousand, and she'd scrolled for ages without reaching the bottom. At most she'd swiped through a dozen or so pages before giving up.
And Leng Ruoli had actually read all of it?
"Yes." Moreover, she had his likes and dislikes memorized inside and out.
He liked eating Master Bao's pork floss xiaobei.
He liked eating cherries, and felt that eating them box by box was the only way to enjoy them.
He liked playing games. PUBG, Honor of Kings, and LoL were his three favorite games to play.
What he hated eating most was luosifen.
He had an easily allergic constitution, and was allergic to pollen.
What he loathed most was snakes...
As Leng Ruoli reminisced, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, her whole mind full of everything related to Jiang Muye.
Afraid she wouldn't be able to buy the pork floss xiaobei, Leng Ruoli hurried to line up at the back of the crowd.
Mi Lu said, "There are too many people. This'll take hours to get through. It's too cold here, the wind is howling, you'll catch a cold."
"It's fine. I have plenty of time anyway, I can wait. Sister Mi Lu, you go back first." Leng Ruoli gave Mi Lu a gentle smile.
Mi Lu suddenly felt a bit ashamed of herself. Leng Ruoli definitely liked Jiang Muye more than she'd imagined.
And as for herself, how could that be called liking someone? At most, she was just interested in Jiang Muye.
"It's fine, I'll wait with you." How could Mi Lu just leave Leng Ruoli behind?
Leng Ruoli said thank you from the bottom of her heart.
"Silly, we're best friends, what are you saying thank you for?" Mi Lu cherished this friend very much.
Leng Ruoli really was a very pure, very kind girl.
In high society, any rich young lady whose family had a bit of money all had princess syndrome, piles of nasty habits. If they weren't delicate and fragile, they liked bossing people around, feeling themselves superior to others.
But Leng Ruoli, despite her privileged family, wasn't the least bit arrogant. Her personality wasn't the aloofness everyone imagined either. In reality, she was warm and shy.
Mi Lu waited with Leng Ruoli for a long time.
The cold wind howled, and the temperature felt like it dropped all at once.
Mi Lu was already rubbing her hands, her breath coming out as white puffs. She looked at the crowd ahead that wasn't moving at all, and found it very strange. "It's been so long, how come there are still so many people ahead?"
