Chapter 73: A Simp's Comeback to Heartthrob

The Snack Street by the school gates was especially long, several hundred meters, and packed with people. It was incredibly lively.

The air was completely filled with the aroma of snacks, making one's appetite surge uncontrollably.

System: 【Congratulations, Host, on a successful Check-in at Snack Street. You have obtained 500,000 RMB.】

After closing the System panel, Jiang Muye and the others quickly arrived at the entrance of Old Wu's Fried Dumplings.

Old Wu's Fried Dumplings was just a tiny stall of less than five square meters, but it was extremely popular. Quite a few people were already buying fried dumplings.

It took Jiang Muye and his three roommates quite a while to reach the front of the line, and they hurriedly ordered three portions of fried dumplings.

Five yuan per portion, twenty dumplings each. Dirt cheap.

Old Wu said enthusiastically, "I've already packed them for you. Mildly spicy. Add the sweet sauce yourselves. Scan the code over here. Three portions, fifteen yuan."

"Alright." Just as Jiang Muye took out his phone to pay, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out. "It's on me~"

A phone swept forward, and with a ding, the payment went through directly without a password.

Jiang Muye, Little White Dove, Kai, and Old He were all stunned.

It wasn't just them—even the college students nearby were shocked.

A petite, adorable girl stood there, wearing a wine-red floral Lolita dress, a snow-white fluffy shawl draped over her shoulders, with bright eyes and white teeth. Her mixed-race eyes crinkled into an especially sweet smile when she laughed, and her little dimples were clearly visible on her face.

Even the Huawei phone in her hand was especially cute, encased in an incredibly adorable sheep phone case.

The guys nearby saw this and went red in the face, beside themselves with excitement. "It's Campus Belle Jiang! Wow, is she treating Jiang Muye?"

"Who says it isn't? Jiang Muye's Peach Blossom Luck is off the charts! To get hooked up with Goddess Jiang, I'd trade ten years of my life!"

"Goddess Jiang is my dream. How could such an invincible beauty like Jiang Muye? What's wrong with our school's campus belles? Are they all going to become Jiang Muye's harem!"

Who wouldn't want to slide down Jiang Xueli's long legs?

Who wouldn't want to swing on Jiang Xueli's huge bust?

But the problem was, Goddess Jiang had zero interest in them. Her heart was set on Jiang Muye alone!

They were now insanely jealous of Jiang Muye—a simp who had turned things around to become everyone's crush, charming the Four Great Campus Belles into a complete mess, all of them chasing after him.

In the entire academy, who else had that kind of limelight?

Jiang Muye was the first!

Even Old He's eyes went wide when he saw her, and he immediately poked Kai in the ribs. "Is that my Goddess Jiang?"

Kai nodded, also unable to contain his excitement. "Yep, that's her!"

"Holy crap, youth is back, my dream has come true!" Old He's heart was pounding.

Jiang Xueli was Old He's idol. Ever since middle school, Jiang Xueli had been a big name in the cosplay world—cute and pretty, not tall, but with incredible proportions and figure. That sailor uniform set had really gotten the blood pumping.

You could say she was the object of Old He's first awakening.

But he'd never imagined that after getting into university, Jiang Xueli would be a year below him as his Junior. However, Jiang Xueli was extremely active and rarely appeared at school, so Old He had never seen her.

But now he was seeing her up close! The real person was even better looking than in photos, with an even better figure!

"Goddess Jiang, could you give me your autograph?" Old He was thrilled, quickly pulling out a pen for Jiang Xueli to sign his clothes.

"Sure." Jiang Xueli smiled, took the pen, and signed for Old He.

Little White Dove and Old He were also itching to join in. "We want one too!"

Jiang Xueli signed each one.

The three of them were overjoyed, saying in unison, "Heh heh, I'm never washing these clothes again."

Jiang Muye was unmoved. If anything, he found it all a bit exaggerated.

Was Jiang Xueli really that good at attracting fans as a cosplayer?

"Do you want my autograph? Male God." A sweet smile appeared on Jiang Xueli's pretty face. Her fair fingers were already itching to move as she gripped the black pen.

"No thanks. I don't chase cosplayers," Jiang Muye politely declined.

【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 200 RMB. Eyesight restored and enhanced to 5.2 in both eyes.】

This was actually useful to Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye hadn't originally been nearsighted, but he'd always watched little videos in bed, and as a result became nearsighted. It wasn't severe—his eyesight was 4.8—he didn't need glasses, but it still affected his life.

Getting laser surgery carried risks.

Now the System had really helped. Jiang Muye wasn't nearsighted anymore. When he opened his eyes now, the whole world felt much clearer, and seeing things wasn't such a strain.

Five stars for the System! This skill was way too practical!

After being rejected by Jiang Muye, Jiang Xueli didn't get angry and kept her sweet smile.

She directly puffed out her proud peaks in front of Jiang Muye, her little bunnies swaying along, and then looked at Jiang Muye with admiring eyes. "Then give me your autograph. Just sign it on my clothes."

That sentence shocked everyone present.

A cosplay big shot, asking Jiang Muye for his autograph?

What were the odds of that! But the thing was, it had actually happened.

Jiang Muye was seriously lucky!

The roommates all thought of the Confession Wall incident and gave Jiang Muye sly, knowing grins.

Jiang Muye looked gloomily at his three winking roommates, then said to Jiang Xueli, "Sorry, I don't give autographs."

Jiang Xueli looked a bit regretful. "That's too bad. Since you won't sign for me, you'd better watch out for your homework notebook."

"Huh?" Jiang Muye didn't quite understand what she meant.

Jiang Xueli's eyes were bright as stars as she said playfully, "Because I'll sneak over in the middle of the night to steal your notebook, tear off the cover page—which has your signature on it. If you're willing to be my cosplay partner and shoot some photos with me, you'd definitely blow up. I'm afraid that by then, the line for your autograph would be out of control."

Little White Dove was astonished. "Muzi, you're going to be a cosplayer?"

Kai rubbed his chin and started sizing up Jiang Muye. "Actually, Muzi's looks are really good. He's more than qualified to be a cosplayer."

Old He was excited. "Is our dorm going to produce a big shot? Wow, then Muzi, hurry up and give me your autograph too so I can sell it later. It'll be worth a fortune."

Little White Dove joked, "Yeah, let's team up and steal your homework notebook."

Jiang Muye watched his beastly roommates egging each other on and raised an eyebrow. "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in cosplay, and I'm sure as hell not going to shoot videos."

Jiang Muye turned to Jiang Xueli. "I'm happy to be friends, but shooting with you? Forget it. Impossible."

Jiang Xueli reached out and grabbed Jiang Muye's arm, looking up at him pitifully. "Woo, I'm begging you."

Jiang Muye looked at that delicate, pitiful face, then at what Jiang Xueli was doing, and quietly pulled his hand free. "Girls shouldn't be so handsy."

This drew shakes of the head from onlookers.

Young man, you're really too young.

A gorgeous beauty like her is acting cute, and you're completely unmoved.

Even Jiang Muye's roommates were green with envy. Even though they had girlfriends, what otaku wouldn't want to get close to his cosplay goddess?

Of course, they had the desire but not the guts. There was already a proper lady waiting at home.

There was also another fatal problem—the Goddess would never hug and cling to them.

"Then why won't you shoot with me?" Jiang Xueli asked.

"Because we're long-lost siblings. We can't shoot together."
