Chapter 76: Don't Worry, I Have a Secret Weapon

Jiang Xueli directly handed the bag in her hand to Jiang Muye and said, "Here."

Jiang Muye looked at what Jiang Xueli was doing, somewhat surprised. "For me?"

"Who else? You think I carried it here for myself?" Jiang Xueli smiled.

Little White Dove and the others were instantly amazed.

How did Jiang Muye get all the good luck? Why were all these Goddesses so devoted to him, and so nice too!

"No need, thanks," Jiang Muye politely refused.

Even though it was a kind gesture, Jiang Muye chose to refuse.

【Congratulations, Host, on rejecting Jiang Xueli's fruit gift. You have earned two hundred Grit Points. Reward: a Kyoto courtyard house. The deed and documents are now in your drawer.】

A Kyoto courtyard house?

This was something money couldn't buy. Supply couldn't meet demand.

The System was getting anxious! It had finally started competing.

Jiang Muye was quite satisfied. This courtyard house would be great to leave for his parents in their old age. He just didn't know if you could see the Forbidden City when you opened the window.

Jiang Muye said to the System, From now on, use this as the baseline for all future rewards. Understood?

The System: 【…Rewards are randomly matched. You can enter the prize pool to draw. You might draw an premium prize.】

Jiang Muye wasn't going to make things hard on this poor little System.

"It's not just for you to eat. I bought it for your dorm too." Jiang Xueli directly stuffed a few bags into Old He's arms. "Take these back."

"Alright," Old He smiled at Jiang Muye. "Come on, Muzi, it's a kind gesture. Just accept it."

Jiang Muye looked at how pleased Old He was right now and figured it would be hard to refuse, so he said to Jiang Xueli, "Thanks."

Jiang Xueli smiled sweetly. "No problem. It's your money anyway. Alright, bye bye, I'm heading back to the dorm~"

She ran off toward the dorm.

Old He held the snacks and fruit, overjoyed. "Campus Belle Jiang is really nice. She bought so many tasty things."

"All you think about is eating. Don't you know you can't bite the hand that feeds you? Forget it, you guys go back to the dorm and split it up. I'll be there in a bit." Jiang Muye's words instantly made Kai curious.

"What's up, you're not heading back to the dorm now?"

"I've got something else to do. I'll come after I'm done." Jiang Muye hadn't forgotten that he still needed to bring food to Leng Ruoli.

"Alright." The roommates headed back.

Jiang Muye went to the area below the girls' dorm and found a slender figure standing there.

In the wind, her small face was flushed red from the cold. Light brown hair draped behind her shoulders, and she wore a white coat. She looked like a blood elf descended to the mortal world, delicate and moving, beautiful to the eyes.

Her turn-around rate was extremely high. Every guy who passed turned to look at her in unison.

But she was holding her phone and wasn't disturbed by these gazes at all. She was even quite determined, glancing left and right, clearly waiting for someone.

Jiang Muye quickly ran up and began scolding Leng Ruoli. "Why are you waiting here, and dressed so thinly? You girls would rather freeze to death than not look pretty, right?"

When Leng Ruoli saw Jiang Muye arrive, her clear, water-like eyes curved, and she unconsciously smiled. "I'm not cold. I just came down. Besides, I've got warm patches on."

Leng Ruoli slightly pulled open her white coat, and Jiang Muye saw several warm patches stuck to her sweater.

No matter how he looked at her, she didn't seem like the type to use warm patches.

But now she was proudly showing them off to him, displaying them, and it was just adorable however you looked at it.

"Even if you've got warm patches, won't you still be cold? And now that you've opened your coat, aren't you even colder? You're already sick and you're still doing this." Jiang Muye scolded. As he spoke, he set down the things and started helping.

He took the initiative to zip up Leng Ruoli's coat.

Leng Ruoli lowered her head and looked at Jiang Muye's long, fair hands—slender, with distinct knuckles, hands beautiful enough to be a hand model's—now personally zipping up her coat.

Leng Ruoli's cheeks were bright red. She could clearly feel the crisp citrus scent of him standing close, and the warmth of his fingertips.

She was already too shy to look at him.

She just felt his burning hand brush across her body.

Phew.

Leng Ruoli's breathing grew rapid.

"Done." Jiang Muye's magnetic voice rang out.

Leng Ruoli gave a small, shy "Mm."

Jiang Muye looked at her bright red face, and his breathing was no longer steady. He even felt excited.

"Um, are you still cold?" Jiang Muye found a question to ask.

"Not really. You?" Leng Ruoli looked at him shyly.

"I'm fine. Guys can handle wearing less." Jiang Muye said casually.

"That won't do," Leng Ruoli said. "You can't try to tough it out. You'll still catch a cold if you're going to. I've already fallen victim. You can't be next."

After saying that, Leng Ruoli solemnly began to take off the scarf wrapped around her neck.

Jiang Muye was surprised. "What are you doing? It's so cold."

He tried to stop her, but Leng Ruoli shook her head. "You wear it."

"Don't. I really won't catch a cold. My constitution is very good." Jiang Muye wasn't joking.

After all, he had the body-strengthening serum the System gave him. His body was explosively healthy now, full of vigor. How could he catch a cold?

What was a little bacteria like this? He was immune to all poisons.

As soon as Jiang Muye finished speaking, he caught a captivating fragrance, and a moment later he felt a cool hand brush against his neck.

Ambiguity drifted through the air, making it hard for Jiang Muye to breathe.

He stared fixedly at the persistent girl before him. Her brows and eyes were exquisite, tenacious, and beautiful enough.

"No, you have to take good care of your health." She stood on her tiptoes and directly wrapped the scarf she'd taken off around Jiang Muye's neck.

His neck, which had been blown by the wind, was now warm, and he could still feel the residual warmth from her.

Very warm.

And very comfortable.

Jiang Muye's heart grew calm. He felt like the whole world had gone quiet, and only a tender purity kissed him, making him reluctant to leave, mesmerizing him.

He looked down at the scarf around his neck, and his eyes softened.

For some reason, he was grinning happily.

Jiang Muye couldn't help but rub the scarf and said to Leng Ruoli, "Thanks."

"This is called courtesy demands reciprocity," Leng Ruoli said shyly. "You bought me dinner, so I should repay you."

"I just brought it along with me. I wasn't expecting anything back," Jiang Muye said frankly.

"I just did it along the way too." Leng Ruoli's eyelashes fluttered. "Anyway, you can't get sick."

"Enough, hurry upstairs. It's so cold. Is your cold any better?" Jiang Muye's brows furrowed tightly. He immediately picked up the food and pulled Leng Ruoli under the dorm building's awning.

"Much better."

"The medicine's a bit bitter, but don't be lazy and skip it." Jiang Muye reminded her.

Leng Ruoli nodded. "Okay."

Jiang Muye began handing the food to Leng Ruoli. "Here, take it. I didn't know what you like, so I bought some random stuff."

"Okay, thanks." Leng Ruoli said sweetly.

"Hurry upstairs. I'm heading back too." Jiang Muye called out to Leng Ruoli, waved goodbye, then pulled on his hoodie's hood and headed toward his own dorm.

"Bye bye." Leng Ruoli kept her gaze fixed on Jiang Muye's back, reluctant to look away.

She couldn't help but giggle foolishly, with a young girl's shyness, then quickly scampered toward the dorm.

After Leng Ruoli returned to her dorm, she grew curious about what Jiang Muye had bought.

What did he buy?
