Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

Under the blazing sun, Jiang Linyuan flashed a handsome, dashing smile as he guided the bewildered freshmen who had just been reborn from the hell of the college entrance exam.

Taking this opportunity, he also observed the diverse crowd passing by, checking if any new 'tea' had just been released.

Unfortunately, his eyesight wasn't the best; all he could see were colors.

"Hello, handsome senior, could you help me carry my luggage? I'm having a bit of trouble managing it all by myself."

A crisp, clear voice rang out, and a girl with a rosy, slightly youthful complexion appeared before Jiang Linyuan's eyes.

She shyly tucked the wind-blown strands of hair behind her ear, revealing a perfectly measured, slightly reserved smile.

Gasp... this aura!

【Target: Su Muzhi; Bad Woman Quality: A】

An A-grade 'tea' he had never encountered before! The freshmen truly hide dragons and crouch tigers!

It seems like birds of a feather flock together. Jojo didn't lie to me!

Destiny favors me! Time to make my move!

"You came alone, junior? That's really impressive."

Jiang Linyuan effortlessly took the luggage and very naturally fell into step beside Su Muzhi, striking up a conversation.

Hearing this praise, the girl's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"It's alright."

"Senior, isn't the luggage too heavy? I have water here, would you like some?"

Walking alongside Jiang Linyuan, she glanced at his handsome profile and somewhat flusteredly pulled a bottle of mineral water from her bag, offering it to him.

A shy, blushing face paired with a considerate, caring tone—if it were an ordinary person, they might just lose their mind!

Such strong offensive power! Is this the prodigy of the Tea Sect?! She just graduated high school, yet she's mastered this divine skill without a teacher!

But unfortunately, you've met me.

"Thank you, junior, you're so thoughtful."

Just as Jiang Linyuan was about to take the water, Su Muzhi suddenly stumbled. The just-opened bottle of mineral water in her hand splashed all over Jiang Linyuan.

"Ah! Senior, I'm so sorry, so sorry! Let me get you a tissue..."

She exclaimed in a hurry, apologizing sincerely, and frantically pulled out tissues, immediately moving to wipe the wet spots on Jiang Linyuan.

Not good! This isn't your ordinary green tea! She's using combos!

"No need, I'll wipe it myself. And junior, be more careful."

Jiang Linyuan blocked Su Muzhi's hand, his attitude suddenly turning firm.

Su Muzhi seemed to realize something. Looking at his wet abdomen and the area below, her face flushed bright red. She handed him the tissues and fell silent.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward for the rest of the walk.

But in reality, Jiang Linyuan's guard was now at its peak.

Truly worthy of an A-grade tea, pulling a deliberate stunt like that.

Tsk, did she really think his eyesight was so poor he couldn't notice her deliberately appraising his physique?

Female gaze, tone it down!

When facing this kind of proactively attacking 'tea,' you absolutely must not appear too eager or infatuated. That would make her think she has you wrapped around her finger.

Jiang Linyuan understood this deeply.

So now, he had to pretend to be annoyed about getting wet, forcing Su Muzhi to make the next move!

"Senior, your clothes are soaked like this. It's all my fault. So many people on the road are staring at you. I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Su Muzhi spoke up, lowering her voice with a hint of a wronged tone.

Excellent. She took the initiative to soften first. Now, courtesy demands reciprocity. It's my turn.

"It's really not that big of a deal."

Jiang Linyuan's tone softened as he joked:

"Maybe they're not looking at me. Compared to a soggy guy, a pretty girl is probably more eye-catching, right?"

Su Muzhi was taken aback. Her lively eyes stared directly at Jiang Linyuan, as if it took her a moment to process his words. Then, blushing, she said softly:

"Senior, you're so good with words."

Then, she boldly raised her head again, giving a sweet smile:

"Maybe they're looking at both of us!"

Hiss! Excellent, Green Tea! You've caught my attention!

Jiang Linyuan brought out all the skills he had honed dealing with past 'green teas,' chatting and laughing with Su Muzhi all the way.

As they arrived at the dormitory area, Jiang Linyuan stopped.

"Ahead is the girls' dormitory. I've never been there, so you should go on your own."

That was a lie. He had actually been there.

Su Muzhi's eyebrows raised slightly, then relaxed as she asked with a beaming smile:

"Senior, you're so handsome. Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

Jiang Linyuan stated bluntly.

Good, here it comes. The 'tea' is about to deploy her classic line.

"Eh, really? Then can I add your WeChat, senior? If I have any questions in the future, I hope you can help me."

Su Muzhi's eyes lit up, the dagger finally revealed from the map scroll.

I was waiting for this move.

"Sure."

Jiang Linyuan generously took out his phone. The two exchanged WeChat contacts and names.

Plan successful, cha-cha-cha!

Just as he was feeling triumphant, Su Muzhi suddenly laughed, all traces of shyness gone:

"Campus heartthrob Jiang truly lives up to his reputation. You're a very interesting person."

"Let's chat more on WeChat later. Thanks for carrying my luggage all the way."

With that, she turned and walked into a different dormitory building, swiping her face for entry with practiced ease, her movements smooth and fluid.

That dormitory was for second-year students.

?

Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment.

What?! Intel error! That Su Muzhi wasn't a freshman after all!

Damn green tea, actually playing the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' trick!

So she wasn't some Tea Sect prodigy at all, but an aged tea cake from the Forbidden Zone of Life!

I've been set up by capital! She's a bad woman!! Free labor!

Oh, vast heavens, why do you treat me so harshly!

Next time we meet, I will definitely max out your rewards!

"Um, senior, excuse me, is the East Zone Dormitory Building Number 12 around here?"

Just as Jiang Linyuan was lamenting his misfortune, a timid, hesitant voice sounded by his ear.

Looking up, he saw a very quiet, gentle-looking girl with delicate features and soft eyes. Seeing Jiang Linyuan look at her, she hurriedly lowered her head.

【Target: Zhang Juntang; Bad Woman Level: D】

So it's a good, wholesome girl. How boring.

"Yes, it's over here. I'll take you."

Jiang Linyuan looked at the large and small luggage behind her and hesitantly asked another question:

"You're a freshman, right?"

"Ah?"

Zhang Juntang looked up in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Linyuan asked that.

But she quickly nodded vigorously, stammering:

"Ye-ye... yes, this is my first time at university. I'm Zhang Juntang from the Teachers' College. My student ID number is..."

You might as well say it's your first time being human.

Jiang Linyuan complained internally.

"No, no, no, don't say anymore. Give me the luggage."

So dumb...ly cute, this freshman.

Having seen plenty of 'teas,' this was Jiang Linyuan's first time encountering such a rare species. Truly scarce.

Note to self: feels like I could sell pens to this girl to make money if I'm short on living expenses in the future.

"Um, I can manage by myself..."

Zhang Juntang wanted to say something more, but Jiang Linyuan didn't even hear her mosquito-like murmur. He just picked up the luggage and started walking ahead.

"Wait for me."
