Chapter 9: Proposing to You 99 Times, My Conscience Is Clear About My Love

Chapter 9: I Proposed to You 99 Times, and My Conscience Is Clear About My Love

After 99 rejected proposals, the Cold Campus Belle forcefully pursues me, Jiang Muye

Bigshot Moe Girl

Jiang Muye took a deep breath and said, "I've thought it through very clearly, Xia Xiran. We missed each other. If you want to leave, you can do so at any time. If you want to come back, sorry, but that's not possible."

Xia Xiran felt as if her heart were being carved out. Tears glistened in her eyes as she choked out, "I like you, Jiang Muye. Why is it that you could propose to me 99 times, but can't give me even one chance?"

Jiang Muye lowered his eyes and said resolutely, "I proposed to you 99 times because I wanted my conscience to be clear about my love. And now I'm rejecting you because I want to treat my dignity with sincerity."

"Life can't be rewound, just like my feelings can't turn back. Missing out means missing out. I won't regret it."

Xia Xiran's close friends watched Jiang Muye's ruthless demeanor with great shock.

It wasn't as if they hadn't seen the way Jiang Muye had pursued Xia Xiran.

A boy who had liked Xia Xiran so much was resolutely saying no to her confession?

This was Xia Xiran's first time genuinely revealing her feelings, and it hurt so deeply it was etched into her bones.

Look, Xia Xiran was crying so sorrowfully.

Her tears fell one by one like pearls.

Her face was full of regret, but it was too late for regret.

Jiang Muye deliberately ignored the sight of Xia Xiran crying. He put on an indifferent expression and headed toward the men's dormitory.

As a result, he heard Xia Xiran's loud confession from behind him.

"Jiang Muye, I like you! I'm going to pursue you! In the past I hurt you 99 times, so this time I'll pursue you 100 times. One more than you, and my conscience will be clear about my love!"

Jiang Muye's back trembled slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at Xia Xiran.

Her eyes were glowing and burning. For the first time, her eyes were full of him.

It was as if he were dreaming. The scenes he had once fantasized about were now all appearing before him.

Only this time, Jiang Muye had already woken up from the dream.

Jiang Muye pursed his lips and coldly walked quickly toward the dormitory.

Everyone was already deeply immersed in Xia Xiran's declaration of pursuit.

The usually calm and artistic Xia Xiran was now crazily declaring that she would pursue Jiang Muye 100 times?

As if!

Who would believe it if word got out!

But it happened!

Xia Xiran was born into a scholarly family. Both her parents were university professors. She was beautiful and intellectual, artistic and wise. The people pursuing her could form a long queue.

No one had ever seen her so shamelessly persistent with anyone.

It showed just how much Xia Xiran liked Jiang Muye!

Little White Dove and the others shook their heads. They never would have imagined it. They had thought Jiang Muye was a Romeo, but never expected Xia Xiran to be a lovestruck woman as well.

Had Jiang Muye won the lottery?

As Xia Xiran watched Jiang Muye's departing figure with reluctance, her close friends were still a bit incredulous. "Are you really going to pursue Jiang Muye?"

"Yes. He could propose to me 99 times, so what's the problem with me pursuing him 100 times? If he could do it, I can definitely do it too." Xia Xiran was full of confidence.

"He liked me so much before, so he'll like me even more in the future."

Xia Xiran didn't believe he would give up on her so easily, without a single feeling left behind.

Since Leng Ruoli could bravely pursue love, why should she hesitate?

After Jiang Muye returned to the dormitory, the system began sending him a reminder.

【Congratulations, Host, on rejecting Campus Belle Xia's romantic pursuit. You have obtained a duplex ocean-view villa in Jiangling Garden.】

This comforted Jiang Muye's wounded heart.

Jiangling Garden? Wasn't that the most luxurious area in the city center of this city? The houses there were astronomically priced.

And he had actually received a duplex ocean-view villa?

This completely exceeded Jiang Muye's expectations.

By this time, his three roommates had also returned.

After seeing Jiang Muye lying on the bed, they shook their heads.

"Muzi, that's the Goddess Xia you've been longing for. She's starting to pursue you now. Do you really not like her anymore, or are you just nursing a grudge?" Little White Dove asked.

Jiang Muye's eyes were complicated. "Some wounds, no matter how much time passes, still hurt at the slightest touch. Some people, no matter how much time passes, still ache at the mere thought of them. It's not that some people stop loving. It's just... loving meant hurting."

Jiang Muye's heart was already riddled with holes.

He wanted to love.

But he no longer had the courage to love anyone.

"Some people aren't suited to love each other at the wrong time. For example, me and her."

Jiang Muye had already shed the passion he once had for her. Just as he was preparing to start a new life, she turned back to find him.

What was he?

A toy she could summon and dismiss at will?

What if she stopped loving him again? Would she throw him away once more?

Jiang Muye closed his eyes tightly and said nothing.

His roommates also sensed that Jiang Muye's mood had become quite low, so they didn't continue on this topic.

"Actually, Campus Belle Xia isn't that great. Muzi has no shortage of girls around him, right!" Kai said. "Remember when Muzi had a stomachache, and someone put stomach medicine in his drawer? When he got burned cooking for Campus Belle Xia, someone called for burn medicine for him. When he was late, someone secretly helped him sign in. Right?"

Kai's words immediately energized Little White Dove.

"That's right, I forgot about that! Jiang Muye, do you know who that girl is? She's always paying attention to you, asking about your well-being. She definitely can't be bad-looking."

Jiang Muye shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The vast majority of girls who pursued him were passionate and bold.

Even the shyest ones would hand him love letters.

But there had never been a single person who anonymously paid attention to him, occasionally prepared things he needed, and left no name.

Jiang Muye had once wondered, if the other party wanted to be with him, why not show herself?

He and a few roommates had once staked out a spot, but gained nothing.

They failed to discover the other party's identity. Not a single piece of information.

On top of that, at the time Jiang Muye's body and mind were entirely focused on Xia Xiran, so the matter was left unresolved.

The three roommates were quite regretful. "Ah, you missed a chance to get off the single market."

"I don't want to date right now. Actually, there's nothing wrong with being single." Jiang Muye said, "Better to have nothing than something inferior. No settling, no making do. I'll just wait for the one fated to come."

Jiang Muye's attitude earned shakes of the head from his roommates.

In their eyes, Jiang Muye definitely couldn't forget Campus Belle Xia.

Campus Belle Xia was so beautiful and talented. How could someone who had liked her possibly fall for someone else so easily?

But they were also glad about one thing: at least Jiang Muye wasn't hanging himself on one tree anymore. That counted as progress.

The next day, the sky cleared after the rain.

Jiang Muye was woken up by hunger.

He checked the time on his phone. It was eight in the morning.

He heard Kai in the neighboring bed on the phone with his girlfriend, Xiao Yue.

"Baby, I miss you too. Hungry? No problem, I'll go buy you breakfast in a bit and bring it down to your dorm building."

First thing in the morning, and it was already full of sweet couple moments.

Jiang Muye was stuffed full of it.

Jiang Muye had just climbed down from the top bunk when Little White Dove, on the bottom bunk, said sleepily, "Muzi, you're up. Bring me a breakfast, plain congee, fried dough sticks, and two meat buns!"

Old He also poked his head out from under the covers and called out drowsily, "Me too! Get me a rice ball with a grilled sausage inside. Tell the lady to add extra pickled vegetables and crispy fried dough sticks!"

Kai said bashfully, "You're heading to the cafeteria anyway, could you bring me one? My baby's hungry, said she wants tofu pudding and shumai. Get me five meat buns and some soy milk. The bed's too warm, I can't get up. Let me nap a bit, okay?"

Jiang Muye looked at this bunch of thick-skinned guys and felt exasperated. "Fine, I'll bring you guys food, alright!"

It just so happened that the system issued a cafeteria check-in task.

Jiang Muye thought he could fill his stomach and earn some money at the same time.

The three roommates waved their hands and urged him on.

"Hahahaha, go and come back quick!"

"Waiting on you! Thanks, bro!"

"Then I'll keep talking to my baby on the phone~"

Jiang Muye laughed and scolded, "I'm bringing you food and you're still rushing me."

He grabbed his meal card, threw on a black cotton coat, and headed out.

The weather had gotten noticeably colder recently. Before, short sleeves were still fine, but now the cold air had arrived and it was cold enough to make people shiver.

Jiang Muye walked across campus. There were hardly any people in the buildings above.

But when Jiang Muye reached the cafeteria, he felt a wave of warmth wash over him.

The heating was so comfortable.

There weren't many people in the cafeteria. After all, many people didn't have morning classes, so who would get up?

At that moment, a message appeared on the system panel…
