Lin Zhiyue wore a rather cunning pleated skirt today.
She was scanning the crowd for suitable prey.
Her gaze was glued to Su Mu's shoes, causing her steps to halt.
She had just seen this brand in a high-end luxury appreciation group a few days ago.
The items from this brand start at a minimum of five figures.
And that doesn't even include the cost of accessories.
She moved in closer to observe carefully.
She noticed that her classmate Su Mu, after changing out of his military training uniform, not only looked a bit handsome but was also dressed in those low-key luxury brands.
Lin Zhiyue's breathing became rapid.
She felt like she had finally discovered a big fish.
And it was one that no one else had noticed.
By noon, the Hundred Clubs Fair was in full swing.
The sports field was at its peak with people.
At the Anime Club booth, Mu Changge and Su Banxia, due to the presence of others, couldn't reveal that they already knew Su Mu.
Wang Hao came back after a round, pulling Su Mu's arm, ready to head to the cafeteria to grab seats.
"Suzi, let's go quickly."
"If we're late, the chicken legs on the second floor of the cafeteria will be gone again."
Just as Su Mu was being pulled to turn around, Lin Zhiyue seized the opportunity to approach.
She naturally stepped forward half a step, just enough to block Su Mu's path.
A faint scent of perfume wafted over.
She tilted her head slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, her gaze innocent yet carrying a hint of just the right amount of admiration.
She held two drinks that the Student Union was distributing for free, with a sweet smile on her face.
"You're Su Mu, right? Have a drink."
She handed one of the drinks to Su Mu.
"I'm Lin Zhiyue."
"I was in the row behind you during military training."
Su Mu reached out to take the drink.
"Thank you."
Lin Zhiyue had no intention of stopping there.
She smoothly started chatting beside him.
"What club are you planning to join, Su Mu?"
Su Mu shook his head.
"Not interested in any."
Lin Zhiyue hit a wall but wasn't discouraged.
She switched topics, even lowering her voice deliberately.
"Su Mu."
"Your Porsche Panamera is so cool."
"Was that car parked under the boys' dorm last time yours?"
Su Mu paused his drinking motion.
He glanced at Lin Zhiyue.
There was a subtle scrutiny in his gaze.
Lin Zhiyue felt she had played her trump card.
Her heart raced.
She was sure she was the first in the school to discover Su Mu's true financial power.
This level of second-generation wealthy was definitely not inferior to the man Mu Changge had found.
She had no idea that the person before her was the legendary boss himself.
Mu Changge was standing less than ten meters away.
She saw clearly how Lin Zhiyue moved closer to talk to Su Mu.
That woman seemed eager to press her chest against Su Mu's arm.
Mu Changge's fingers clenched the flyers in her hand, her fingers straining to the point of deforming.
Damn scumbag.
Am I not better than that flat-chested woman?
Zhong Ling leaned over to gossip quietly.
"Changge, look over there."
"That freshman is kind of cute."
Mu Changge kept her mouth shut, not responding.
Sitting in her chair, Su Banxia looked up at Mu Changge's expression.
Underneath Mu Changge's icy facade, there was clearly something off.
Su Banxia felt a jolt in her heart.
A ridiculous thought flashed through her mind.
That annoying second-generation wealthy said Mu Changge was being kept.
Now Mu Changge was staring at Su Mu like that.
She immediately forced that thought down.
Impossible.
Su Mu didn't seem like that kind of ruthless person.
At the same time, Lin Zhiyue had already taken out her phone and added Su Mu on WeChat from the class group.
After achieving her goal, she turned and found a secluded corner.
She opened her phone album.
It was the photo she secretly took at Plaza 66 of Mu Changge and a man.
The man's face in the photo was mostly obscured by Mu Changge's hair and the shooting angle.
Only a blurry side profile was visible.
Thinking of Mu Changge's recent interaction with Su Mu, Lin Zhiyue knew she couldn't wait any longer.
Otherwise, the big fish she had painstakingly discovered would be hooked by that pretending-to-be-innocent Mu Changge.
She had to cut off this possibility in advance.
Lin Zhiyue used a secondary account to post the photo on Moments.
Not long after the post was made, it was screenshotted within half an hour and quickly circulated in several campus gossip groups.
The news reached the Anime Club booth faster than expected.
Zhong Ling, having just seen the screenshot in the campus gossip group, immediately changed her expression.
She quickly flipped her phone screen down on the table, not daring to let Mu Changge see the photos.
But Fang Jinse had already sent a voice message in the dorm group.
"Changge, check the group quickly."
"A lot of people outside are spreading gossip about you!"
Mu Changge lowered her head and opened her phone.
After seeing the rumors and that blurry photo, her face turned pale.
Her first reaction wasn't anger at being rumored to be kept.
It was anxiety.
She started searching the crowd on the sports field for Su Mu's figure.
She was really afraid Su Mu would misunderstand.
If Su Mu thought she had deliberately leaked the photo to force his hand, everything would be over.
After all, that scumbag had told her last time that he wasn't the type to give up a forest for a single tree.
Unconsciously, she had started to care more and more about Su Mu's opinion.
Mu Changge ignored the strange looks from those around her.
She found a very quiet corner inside the gymnasium.
She messaged Su Mu, asking him to come over so she could explain.
After a while, she saw Su Mu approaching with his hands in his pockets from a distance.
Mu Changge was so tense she felt like she might snap.
She didn't know if Su Mu had seen those rumors.
Nor did she know what he thought.
Mu Changge stammered as she began to speak.
"Su Mu, let me explain."
"That photo wasn't posted by me."
"I didn't know someone was secretly taking pictures."
Su Mu casually took out his phone from his pocket, lit up the screen, and held it between them.
Mu Changge's heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath.
Su Mu pointed at the blurry side profile in the photo, his tone full of casual teasing.
"The angle of this photo isn't great."
"It didn't capture your patron's handsome face completely."
When Mu Changge heard this, her mind went blank for a full three seconds.
Her face turned red from her ears to her neck.
She quickly turned her head, not daring to meet Su Mu's eyes.
Her lips pressed tightly together, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"Don't say that."
"Who's a patron?"
Su Mu looked at her flushed profile and the tips of her ears that seemed about to smoke.
He found this Iceberg Campus Belle unexpectedly alluring at this moment.
Su Mu took a big step forward.
He placed his hand against the wall beside Mu Changge's ear.
His tall figure trapped her between himself and the wall.
Looking at her lips, lightly tinted with a soft bean paste color, Su Mu lowered his head and kissed her directly.
Mu Changge's eyes widened.
She only made a token effort to push his shoulder lightly.
Then she resignedly closed her eyes.
[Ding.]
[Development Target: Mu Changge's first kiss.]
[Development Progress increased by 5%.]
[Current Development Progress: 20%.]
Mu Changge's heart was in turmoil.
At first, her mind was filled with a sense of relief, like surviving a disaster.
Thank goodness he didn't misunderstand that I posted it.
A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.
Then came the shame of being exposed on the spot.
He actually had the audacity to bring up the patron thing so confidently.
Finally, it all turned into a fear of self-realization collapse.
When did I start caring so much about his opinion?
I don't even feel repulsed by his kiss.
As the kiss deepened, Su Mu's hands began to roam over her body.
The atmosphere, already at its peak of ambiguity, was suddenly interrupted by Mu Changge's cry of pain.
"Hiss."
It turned out Su Mu's hand had touched the marks left by her bindings.
The mood was broken, and she pushed Su Mu away with a hint of reserve.
This scumbag hadn't given her any status yet.
He hadn't even properly confessed.
He just came up and kissed her.
The most infuriating part was how she had cooperated so well just now.
She recalled Su Mu's previous confident words.
He said he would bring different women back to Tomson Riviera.
The more Mu Changge thought about it, the angrier she became.
She glared at Su Mu with a face full of shame and anger.
"You're such a jerk."
With that, she turned and fled through the back door of the gymnasium.
Meanwhile, at the Anime Club booth, Su Banxia was staring blankly at the photos circulating in the gossip group.
The familiar male side profile in the photo matched Su Mu's figure too closely.
Earlier, only Mu Changge had protected Su Mu on the sports field.
Coupled with the strange disappearance of Mu Changge and Su Mu just now, the absurd idea in her mind grew stronger.
The Porsche-driving patron was actually Su Mu himself.
Her mind echoed with her mother's words in the hospital room.
Meeting the right person is truly one in a million.
Missing such an opportunity is a lifetime matter.
Someone who helped so much shouldn't be ignored.
Su Banxia bit her lip.
She finally mustered the courage to pick up her old phone.
She opened the WeChat chat with Su Mu.
She typed a line on the screen and sent it.
Seeing the successful send notification, her heart raced as if it might leap out of her throat.
