Chapter 71: Stinky Baby, You Can’t Bully People Like This

Jiang Muye forcefully suppressed the wicked thoughts that had suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He was trying to make himself fall for Leng Ruoli sooner, and that meant taking the emotional route. Why was he thinking about taking the physical route?

Jiang Muye’s ears burned. He shoved his hands in his pockets and said coolly, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Muye hurried off. Leng Ruoli let out a sweet laugh and headed upstairs, a shy blush on her face.

She was carrying cold medicine in her hand. As soon as she got back to the dorm, Mi Lu said strangely, “Did you go pick up a delivery?”

“Yeah.” Leng Ruoli was all smiles, her little face still flushed pink. “Muye bought it for me. He said if I’m sick, I have to take medicine.”

“Ugh, why doesn’t he think about what if I get sick?” Mi Lu bounced right up off the bed and pursed her red lips. “So biased.”

“I saw there’s also Banlangen. How about I brew some for you?” Leng Ruoli thought she couldn’t let Sister Mi Lu get sick too.

But Mi Lu stopped her from brewing the Banlangen. “Silly child, do you really think Banlangen cures all illnesses? It can’t cure my sickness.”

“You’re really sick?” Leng Ruoli was surprised.

“Yeah.” Mi Lu clutched her full chest. “I’ve got lovesickness.”

Leng Ruoli felt a little helpless. “Sister Mi Lu!”

“I’m not spouting nonsense.” Mi Lu sighed. “It’s just a pity that only my beloved can cure this illness. They say girls should be a bit reserved, but it’s been an hour and two minutes since I added him, and he hasn’t even replied with a single greeting. Is my WeChat just for decoration to him?”

Thinking about how Leng Ruoli was treated, then thinking about how she was treated, Mi Lu shook her head again and again.

The gap really was massive. Way too big.

“Then why don’t you poke him and see?” Leng Ruoli asked.

“You really are silly. I’m your love rival, and you’re giving your love rival advice?” Mi Lu teased with a grin.

Leng Ruoli said frankly, “You’re my love rival, but you’re also my friend, and you’ve given me plenty of advice too. The two of us agreed—it’s a fair competition. If he’s mine, then no one can take him away. If he isn’t mine, then why would I scheme and plot?”

Leng Ruoli’s free-spirited nature left Mi Lu very satisfied. “So you’re not a fake sister after all! A true sister! Looking at it that way, who needs a man? How about I just fall for you and kick Jiang Muye to the curb.”

Leng Ruoli’s little face went red. “No, no, I still want him. I can’t bear to kick him.”

“Look at that tiny mindset of yours,” Mi Lu huffed.

“Alright, I’m going to brew my cold medicine. Otherwise if it gets worse, it’ll really be awful.” Leng Ruoli immediately took out the 999 Cold Remedy Jiang Muye had bought and brewed it.

After a few sips, Leng Ruoli was in bliss.

Seeing the corners of her mouth turned up and refusing to come back down, Mi Lu teased, “Look at you, like you’re eating honey. Something this nasty, and you can still drink it so happily.”

“Of course I’m happy. He bought this for me himself.” Just thinking about that frank confession Jiang Muye had made outside made Leng Ruoli’s face burn and her heart race.

She wished she hadn’t recorded it at the time—if only she could have recorded it, she’d be able to listen to it dozens of times in a row.

“Tsk tsk tsk, that filter boost. I’m off to flirt with guys.” Mi Lu definitely wasn’t going to give up on Jiang Muye just because Leng Ruoli was her good sister.

That would be disrespecting Leng Ruoli, and even more, disrespecting her own heart.

At that moment, Jiang Muye had already returned to his dorm. His phone suddenly let out a notification chime.

Jiang Muye opened it and saw it was a WeChat message from Mi Lu.

Mi Lu: 【Stinky Baby, I feel so awful, woo woo woo, my head is so dizzy.】

Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Muye: 【Don’t call me that. Also, you caught a cold?】

Mi Lu: 【I’m calling you Stinky Baby, hmph. I might have a bad cold, I’m about to get a fever, so pitiful.】

Jiang Muye: 【Oh. Take good care of yourself.】

Mi Lu nearly blew up when she saw Jiang Muye’s reply.

Leng Ruoli caught a cold, and he bought her cold medicine.

She said she had a bad cold and was about to get a fever, and all she got was this perfunctory one-liner.

Even if you’re aloof, that’s not how you use it!

Mi Lu: 【Stinky Baby, you can’t bully people like this. I’m feeling awful here, and you’re this cold to me?】

Jiang Muye: 【I don’t study medicine.】

He really was helpless. Even if Mi Lu truly felt unwell, coming to him wouldn’t solve anything.

But Mi Lu replied: 【I need comfort.】

Jiang Muye: 【For example?】

Mi Lu: 【Like you coming to see me. I’d feel a lot better that way.】

Jiang Muye: 【Boys can’t enter the girls’ dorm.】

Mi Lu: 【Then you can deliver medicine and porridge to me too. I’d be happy just to come down and see you.】

When Jiang Muye read that, Mi Lu’s fox tail had finally shown itself.

The drinker’s intent wasn’t on the wine—it was on him.

Jiang Muye naturally had no desire to be bait.

He said: 【Okay.】

Mi Lu was secretly delighted. He’d finally taken the hook.

See, Jiang Muye had just been putting on an act before. Hearing that she was sick, he still got worried.

He really was a big closet flirt, but she loved it.

If only she could take the chance to push him down~

A while later, Jiang Muye’s WeChat came: 【I’m here.】

Mi Lu was beaming, feeling like she’d finally held her head high.

She really wanted to play “Good Luck Comes” for herself.

As expected, she was Concubine Mi, and her fortune lay ahead.

Mi Lu was overjoyed. She quickly washed up and dressed, and of course she cunningly dabbed a bit of concealer on her lips to make her lip color look paler and her overall complexion look unwell.

Once that was done, Mi Lu deliberately put on her prettiest dress and headed happily upstairs.

But when Mi Lu got downstairs, she saw a strange tall guy standing there, and when he saw her, his eyes lit right up.

“Senior Mi Lu, I heard you were sick, so I specially bought you porridge and medicine. You have to take good care of yourself and get better soon, and drink more hot water!” the guy said eagerly with a smile.

The smile hanging on Mi Lu’s face instantly froze.

She completely blew up.

She knew she’d fallen into Jiang Muye’s trap, and she was extremely depressed.

“Sorry, I’m not sick. You can go back. I won’t accept these things.” Mi Lu said expressionlessly, then started heading back into the dorm.

Mi Lu immediately started messaging, ready to confront Jiang Muye: 【What’s the situation? Why wasn’t it you who came, so heartbroken~ You can’t toy with me like this.】

Jiang Muye: 【I never agreed to come. Besides, I just mentioned it in the group, and a guy eagerly signed up. Figured Senior Mi Lu needs comfort the most right now, so of course I had to help make that happen.】

Mi Lu was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.

Straight guy, super straight guy!

To hell with your helping make that happen! You deserve to be single!

Mi Lu worked hard to calm her anger, then replied: 【Woo woo, you’re bullying me, I want to punish you.】

Jiang Muye: 【……】

Mi Lu: 【Since I can’t get physical comfort, then I need mental comfort. I’m punishing you to take a few ab pictures right now and send them to me!】
