Chapter 674: A Newlywed Gift

The Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

She'd come down with a fever and couldn't hand in her paper. As it turned out, she found out that he had researched her academic work—and then he just started writing the paper for her.

And he wrote it incredibly well, earning her praise from the professor.

Earlier, when she'd been performing at the anime convention, she'd been sexually harassed by someone hitting on her. When Brother found out, he sent bodyguards to protect her, and that harassing bastard was dealt with ruthlessly—lost his job and got a severe dressing-down from Brother.

Another time, she'd been dressed a bit lightly, and her brother, without another word, dragged her off to buy a cotton-padded jacket, and even reminded her not to forget warmth in pursuit of style.

Everything which had occurred in the past drifted through Jiang Xueli's mind.

In a moment, Jiang Xueli was sobbing uncontrollably.

Jiang Xueli's tears left Jiang Muye at a complete loss.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Xueli would actually cry. Somewhat helpless, he said, "What are you crying for? You're making it look like I'm bullying you."

"You're so good to me, Brother~ I'm just happy that my brother's found happiness, that his lifelong matter is settled." Jiang Xueli's nose was red as she sniffled.

This left Jiang Muye quite helpless. He reached out, pulled out a few tissues, and handed them to her: "Stop crying. If your eyes get all puffy, you won't look pretty."

The beast roommates nearby began to sigh enviously. "Ah, when will we ever have such a cute little sister!"

Old He: "That's right. I've only got a bastard little brother, and he pisses me off! All he knows is asking me for money to buy food, and then chasing girls!"

Little White Dove: "This one's not your real sister anyway—you could go and adopt one."

Old He glanced at his girlfriend, then said to Little White Dove with a smile, "I'd like to, but wouldn't my Jingjing give me hell for it?"

"Hey, when have I ever given you hell? I'm very gentle, okay? If you want some sworn little sister, just go!" Lu Jingjing snorted in a passive-aggressive tone.

Seeing this, Old He immediately stepped forward and started rubbing Lu Jingjing's shoulders, coaxing her: "My precious baby, what little sister would I want? Having you is enough."

"Cut it out." Lu Jingjing was stubborn in her words, but her heart was blooming. Even so, she still managed to squeeze out a hint of a sweet smile.

Mi Lu eased the atmosphere and went over to comfort Jiang Xueli: "Xueli, I love this gift just from looking at it. Once your gift comes out, it's straight to the ceiling—none of ours can even compare."

"How can that be? You all put a lot of thought into what you prepared too," Jiang Xueli said, shaking her head.

Leng Ruoli nodded too. "Sister Mi Lu, I'd like anything you gave."

Jiang Muye carefully placed the immortal flower painting on the counter behind him and said, "We'll treasure this properly. As soon as we get back, I'll have it framed."

Little White Dove suggested, "Muzi, didn't you say your sister-in-law set up a museum for you before? Put all this stuff in there!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, speaking of that museum, I even went to see the exhibition earlier. It's really a public display of affection—when I've got money, I'm going to do the same thing!" Old He was utterly consumed with envy.

Having her past brought up again made Leng Ruoli's little face completely pink, and she was very shy: "It's nothing much, really. I just wanted to collect the meaningful things. There just happened to be a time and a setting for it, so I did it."

Jiang Muye was still quite smug: "Isn't my darling the best! She still keeps all kinds of my things to this day—stuff I thought of and stuff I never even thought of, she's got it all in there."

"Now you're giving us another dose of public affection. Alright, look at the gift Jingjing and I got you!" Old He and his girlfriend brought over a gift box.

Jiang Muye opened it expectantly, only to find it was a box of cute cups.

Little White Dove immediately cried out with exaggerated flair, "Eldest Brother, you're giving them a bei ju?"

Old He was so angry he was about to kick Little White Dove: "It's not called bei ju, it's called a bei zi—a whole lifetime, get it!"

Little White Dove said with a chuckle, "Why don't you just give them a bei zi—a whole quilt, while you're at it."

"How's that the same? These cups we made ourselves, by hand. Handmade things aren't as pretty as the ones you buy outside, but this is a set, and we hope you won't mind, Muzi," Old He said with real sincerity.

Jiang Muye said at once, "I love it. How is it poorly made? It's great!"

Leng Ruoli nodded too. "Truly clever hands and good craftsmanship. They're made beautifully."

Old He got all smug: "Naturally. I've been good with handiwork since I was a kid."

Lu Jingjing nudged Old He with her elbow: "Oh, so it's all your handiwork that's good?"

Old He's survival instinct kicked in immediately, and he started coaxing Lu Jingjing: "Jingjing, it's your work that's good~! You're the finishing touch, you make it even better—if it weren't for the great shape you sculpted, it would've been ruined. Then with my superb painting skills, it could turn out this good!"

Lu Jingjing grinned. "That's more like it."

"What I'm giving you is a set of pajamas, men's and women's both." Mi Lu handed Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye each a box.

Jiang Muye opened his. It was a rather casual set of pajamas, and the style was quite nice—sky blue, a color he liked.

And high-end luxury too.

"Thanks, I like it quite a bit," Jiang Muye said in thanks.

What he noticed instead was that Leng Ruoli's face was very red.

He stole a glance over, and found that Leng Ruoli's box contained a sky-blue sheer undergarment that couldn't cover much of anything at all—it was extremely light and sexy.

This was lingerie.

"This is a Victoria's Secret limited edition. I hope you both like it," Mi Lu said, deliberately winking at Jiang Muye with a hint.

Jiang Muye was caught between laughing and crying.

As expected of a model—she'd even accounted for his happiness for the rest of his life. No wonder her career was so successful.

Leng Ruoli, even more embarrassed, closed the box and said softly, "Thank you."

Little White Dove and Sheng Xinyi presented their gift: "What we made is soft polymer clay, sculpted from the photos of your engagement banquet."

Jiang Muye took a look—there really were two chibi figures, lifelike and especially cute, covered by a glass dome, perfect for collecting.

"They look quite a bit like us. Not bad, not bad, hahahaha. Little White Dove, I'm already very happy you didn't give me a washboard." Jiang Muye teased.

"Speaking of washboards, we've still got one in the dorm. If you want it, I'll bring it over for you when we get back!" Little White Dove said gleefully.

Jiang Muye waved his hand. "No no, forget it!"

"What we prepared is a Lego castle, built from Disneyland building blocks—it's an auspicious token, meaning the prince and princess live happily ever after." Kai and his girlfriend handed Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli a Lego gift sealed under an acrylic dome.

They were both pleasantly surprised. These things took time.

Though they weren't big, each one was full of thought.

"Thanks, Dormitory Head. You two better get married soon too!" Jiang Muye happily hugged Kai.

"Hey, Muzi, you're way too snobbish. How come you didn't bless the two of us just now? We're getting married too!" Little White Dove shouted.
