Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

"But then again..."

Su Muzhi drew out the last syllable, her eyes crinkling with a wide smile as she stared at Jiang Linyuan.

"This is just my subjective opinion, you know."

What a useless waste!

Jiang Linyuan spoke with the frustration of seeing someone fail to live up to their potential.

"You have a suspicion, but you don't know to go verify it? How can you be so lacking in initiative?"

Su Muzhi tilted her head.

It's you, you dog of a man, who wants to dig up information about her! How dare you lecture me instead!

"Seriously, how can you go on like this? Sigh, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself by doing a good deed. Go test that Yu Songsong's 'tea power'!"

Jiang Linyuan spoke earnestly and patiently.

Su Muzhi asked with a smile.

"You're not going yourself?"

It seemed Su Muzhi was hopeless.

Not only does she not share her master's worries, but she dares to question the boss's decision!

From today on! Our master-servant relationship is severed!

Jiang Linyuan shot a sidelong glance at Su Muzhi, let out a cold snort, and then ignored her.

Su Muzhi, watching from the side, felt the corner of her mouth twitch.

What weird thing is this cringe man thinking about now.

Jiang Linyuan didn't have time to continue a pointless back-and-forth with Su Muzhi, and walked towards Yu Songsong.

A few people were sitting together singing karaoke, humming and hawing along to the tune that was blaring non-stop.

"Mind if I join?"

Jiang Linyuan asked them.

The group had both freshmen and upperclassmen. The freshmen were still looking at each other uncertainly, but the upperclassmen had already taken the initiative.

"Sure, the more the merrier. Having another handsome guy is more than welcome."

Student Union President Li Jianyi, seeing Jiang Linyuan, greeted him very warmly and handed over a microphone.

"Want to warm up with a song first?"

Wow, as expected of the student union president, his words sound just like a little green tea.

Wait, he's a guy.

A male green tea... well, that's not impossible.

"It wouldn't be good for me to steal your spotlight as soon as I arrive."

Jiang Linyuan smiled but took the microphone anyway.

"Haha, I was just here to cast a brick to attract jade. Now that you're here, I won't embarrass myself any further."

Li Jianyi laughed heartily, looking completely unconcerned.

"Show the freshmen juniors and sisters what you've got."

Look, look!

If this student union president were a woman, he'd probably be at least a B-level card.

"Singing alone isn't much fun."

Jiang Linyuan chuckled cheerfully.

"Dimples, how about a male-female duet? Who will do me the honor?"

"I will! I will!"

Yu Songsong jumped up excitedly, her chest heaving with the motion.

Li Jianyi, who had just been about to speak, quickly stopped himself, feeling a little wronged.

He had been about to say that he could actually do voice imitation and could sing along too.

But now that a real female voice had volunteered, he didn't say anything more and could only act as the atmosphere group.

"Let's hear it!"

Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong exchanged a smile and began the tune.

Hum hum hum~ Mmm mmm~~ Ah ah ah!

As the song ended, Yu Songsong's face was slightly flushed. She was breathing a little heavily, calming her breath, which caused another wave-like motion.

"Clap clap clap, clap clap clap!"

A strange rhythmic clapping sound started. Jiang Linyuan turned his head to see it was Li Jianyi clapping vigorously.

Byd, why is your clapping rhythm so weird?

"Awesome! Awesome! Want to do another one?"

Wow, as expected of the student union president, his words sound just like a little green tea.

This wasn't just politeness; Jiang Linyuan's singing mastery skill was no mere decoration.

Jiang Linyuan shook his head and handed the microphone back.

"Senior Jiang sings so well. Did you study it specially?"

Yu Songsong also asked curiously.

"You could say that."

Jiang Linyuan nodded.

All my efforts to this day have relied solely on myself!

System! Reward, come!

"That's really impressive."

Yu Songsong praised, then asked again.

"Senior Jiang is in the External Liaison Department, right? I heard it's a very tiring department?"

"It's alright. I mostly handle some miscellaneous tasks."

There's something off about this Yu Songsong?

She seems like a perfectly normal young girl, so why is she rated as a B-level card?

Need to investigate further!

"You're in the Academic Department, right, junior? I heard from your department head that you pay a lot of attention to various competitions."

Jiang Linyuan asked with a light laugh.

"That's right."

Yu Songsong nodded, raised her fist, and said seriously.

"I plan to get a postgraduate recommendation! I intend to start working hard from my freshman year!"

Postgraduate recommendation?

This Yu Songsong, could she be an alchemist?

I just want to farm reward cards; I don't want to be refined into a 'postgraduate-recommendation pill'!

Jiang Linyuan's expression froze for a moment. He slowly took half a step back before saying.

"You really have clear planning, junior. Freshmen with such clear goals like you are rare. I think you'll definitely succeed."

"Haha, thank you for your auspicious words, senior."

Yu Songsong smiled, waving her phone.

"Senior, let's add each other on WeChat. We can hang out often when we're free."

"Mhmm, mhmm."

Jiang Linyuan perfunctorily exchanged contact information with Yu Songsong. After chatting for just a few more sentences, he made his escape.

Rewards are precious, but life is priceless!

He could still tell which was more important.

...

"Heh heh, judging by your expression, progress wasn't too smooth."

Su Muzhi looked at Jiang Linyuan who had returned, her face full of amusement.

"What? Did you play yourself?"

This woman just loves getting amusement at my expense.

Jiang Linyuan rolled his eyes.

"I don't play strip games, thank you."

Su Muzhi was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant, then curled up the corner of her mouth.

"If you really want to play with me, that's not impossible either."

Jiang Linyuan looked her up and down, then smiled with a twisted mouth.

"Woman, you're playing with fire."

Su Muzhi's face almost couldn't hold its composure.

Where did this dragon king domineering CEO come from?

Jiang Linyuan didn't continue the conversation with Su Muzhi either, thinking about the matter of Yu Songsong.

This big 'thunder sister' is different; she's one who could really explode.

If I'm not careful in my handling, I might be suppressed like a demon pill under a cauldron and refined into a postgraduate-recommendation pill!

That kind of thing! That is absolutely, fucking not allowed!

As the old saying goes, you fight fire with fire.

This Su Muzhi, on Little X Book, is probably a first-class protected animal. She'd be more than adequate as an artillery counterpart.

But she's not willing to put in the effort.

Tsk.

Useless woman.

Need to find a new wingman who is both obedient and easy to control.

Hey! I have an idea.

"Where's Xiao Yilin? I haven't seen her since I got back?"

Jiang Linyuan looked around but didn't see Lin Yilin's figure and asked.

Shen Wanyu lifted her eyelids.

"She went to the restroom. She hasn't come back yet."

"How long has it been?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

"Almost twenty minutes."

Shen Wanyu glanced at her watch and frowned.

Not good! My new wingman!

Has Binary Little Sister been eaten by the toilet?!

"I'll go check."

Jiang Linyuan tossed out this sentence and ran off.

Leaving only Su Muzhi and Shen Wanyu behind.

"With the two of us girls here, he doesn't let us go, but goes himself instead?"

Su Muzhi looked at Shen Wanyu with a smile.

"Does he have feelings for Xiao Yilin?"

Shen Wanyu glanced at her and said flatly.

"You've got it backwards."

Seeing Shen Wanyu respond, the smile on Su Muzhi's face grew even more intense.

"He, is really interesting, isn't he?"

Shen Wanyu slowly turned her head, making eye contact with Su Muzhi for the first time, and said calmly.

"Much more interesting than you."
