Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

After the roll call incident, Jiang Linyuan and Su Muzhi didn't dare to continue their elbow-jabbing competition, instead following Shen Wanyu's lead and staring at the blackboard.

Finally enduring until class ended, Su Muzhi, all smiles, dragged Jiang Linyuan and made a run for it.

"Going to find Xiao Yilin?"

Su Muzhi asked.

Jiang Linyuan nodded, replying with a single simple word:

"Giddyup!"

Su Muzhi's smile froze, and her steps halted.

Then she revealed an adorable smile, placing one foot on top of Jiang Linyuan's foot:

"Did something disgusting just make a noise? Jiang-classmate?"

"In the mount's understanding, that word means 'let's go,' don't you get it?"

Jiang Linyuan returned a smile to Su Muzhi, suddenly pulling his foot back, causing her to stumble and lose her balance.

To keep from falling, Su Muzhi instinctively placed both hands on Jiang Linyuan's chest.

Her little hands were cool, not even worth one of Binary Little Sister's fingers.

"Get off! Don't cop a feel."

Jiang Linyuan pushed her away disdainfully.

Su Muzhi was already a bit annoyed, and hearing this made her even angrier. Her heart hardening, she grabbed Jiang Linyuan's chest with both hands.

The feel was pretty good, quite firm.

Holy crap! Dragon Claw Technique!

Jiang Linyuan stared at her wide-eyed.

You really are a female pervert! Damn!

Seeing his reaction, Su Muzhi slowly retracted her paws, revealing a serene smile, though an unnatural blush drifted across her face:

"Jiang-classmate, don't make a fuss. This kind of horseplay between good friends is perfectly normal."

"Then let me touch yours."

"Sure, if you dare."

Su Muzhi puffed out her chest and laughed.

For crying out loud, how the mighty have fallen!

How does that saying go...

Forgot the beginning, forgot the end too, anyway, shaking with anger and cold, when will men ever stand up!

Jiang Linyuan wasn't one to take a loss lying down, but groping her chest was out of the question.

He had no confidence in winning that case in court.

If he got charged with indecent assault, he'd be happily receiving state-provided meals and sadly singing the jailhouse blues.

So instead, he reached out, pinched Su Muzhi's cheek, gave it a gentle tug to both sides, and then withdrew his hand.

Springy and bouncy, a bit like chewing gum.

Still not as good as Binary Little Sister's jelly hands.

Su Muzhi's eyes went round, as if she hadn't processed it, her mouth slightly agape as she looked at Jiang Linyuan in surprise.

"You have a problem with that?"

Jiang Linyuan asked, displeased.

"Hehe."

Su Muzhi snapped out of it, laughing happily:

"Not at all."

"I was just asking. Even if you had a problem, it wouldn't matter."

Jiang Linyuan tossed out that line, walking ahead and maintaining a safe distance from Su Muzhi, unable to stop the muttering in his heart.

She's not actually lusting after my body, is she?

The two of them didn't cause any more trouble along the way, meeting up with Lin Yilin at the milk tea shop as planned.

Before long, they arrived.

"So, Senior already had a helper."

Looking at the smiling Su Muzhi beside Jiang Linyuan, Lin Yilin felt a bit sour.

"Xiao Yilin is jealous?"

Su Muzhi asked with a giggle.

"No! Not at all!"

Binary Little Sister panicked, denying it at light speed, then added:

"But I am a little unhappy. After all, I initially thought it would just be Senior and me..."

"Oh? So you're saying I'm intruding? Isn't that still jealousy?"

Su Muzhi said meaningfully.

"Ah! No! That's not what I meant!"

Lin Yilin stamped her foot in frustration, unable to explain herself clearly for the moment, and could only cast a pleading look at Jiang Linyuan:

"Senior, explain it to her!"

"I don't like underclasswomen, that's beyond doubt."

"Who asked you to explain that!"

Lin Yilin shouted, displeased.

Jiang Linyuan said calmly:

"We only need to be true to our own conscience. Why bother with the words of others?"

"What are you, Zhang Wuji?!"

Lin Yilin retorted.

Jiang Linyuan gave her a surprised look.

This chuunibyou underclasswoman has quite broad knowledge, mixing East and West.

"Anyway, Underclasswoman, you understand what I mean."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"I completely don't understand."

Lin Yilin sighed weakly.

But after Jiang Linyuan's little performance, the slight gloom in her heart quickly dissipated, and she began to bring up the main topic:

"Speaking of which, I still don't understand why Senior sought out me and Senior Su for help."

"After all, neither of us knows Yu Songsong well. If you really need helpers, you should find her roommates."

Lin Yilin said seriously.

"Xiao Yilin, thinking that way is naive."

Su Muzhi wagged a finger:

"Normally, pursuing someone like that would indeed work, but... your Senior doesn't need to."

What does she mean, 'my Senior'?

Hearing that address, Lin Yilin's face grew hot. Pretending she hadn't heard, she just said dryly:

"Senior Su really knows a lot."

Su Muzhi, all smiles, was about to say something when Jiang Linyuan cut in from the side:

"She knows jack."

Jiang Linyuan sneered dismissively:

"Women like her, who are so good at defining men arbitrarily, are the worst!"

Su Muzhi's smile faded.

Jiang Linyuan then looked at Lin Yilin and said seriously:

"Underclasswoman, don't learn her big-woman chauvinism, randomly assigning labels to men. Nowadays, we men are all about being undefined selves! Male independence! You get it?"

Lin Yilin was left somewhat bewildered by this speech, not understanding but sensing it was profound.

Su Muzhi, however, gave a light laugh and looked at Jiang Linyuan:

"So, Jiang-classmate plans to go make contact with Yu Songsong's roommates?"

"What kind of addle-brained idea is that?"

Jiang Linyuan frowned:

"How familiar can freshmen roommates be? Besides, I don't need to."

This scumbag man! He's just deliberately picking on me!

Su Muzhi looked at Jiang Linyuan with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Then... what Senior Su said earlier was right."

Lin Yilin, completely unable to read the atmosphere, stated bluntly.

Having his bluff called, Jiang Linyuan was furious.

You Binary Little Sister, have you forgotten which side you're on?!

"Underclasswoman, tell me loudly, what's the first lesson you learned upon entering university!"

Jiang Linyuan looked at Lin Yilin and asked.

"Hmm, Advanced Math."

Lin Yilin answered.

"Wrong! It's loyalty and righteousness!"

Jiang Linyuan said, exasperated at her failure to meet expectations:

"Underclasswoman, Senior is telling you today, the words 'loyalty' and 'righteousness' are the most important, do you understand?"

"Senior, what on earth are you talking about?"

Binary Little Sister completely failed to grasp Jiang Linyuan's meaning, pouting her little mouth:

"I'm here for university, not to join a gang. Why is it like a triad movie, with loyalty and righteousness?"

Talking to a brick wall!

Too frustrated to bear it, Jiang Linyuan gave her little hand a pinch.

Binary Little Sister immediately stood at attention, becoming obedient in a second, a blush rapidly spreading from her earlobes down to her neck.

Wah wah wah!

This... this Senior!

Wh... what are you doing! Someone's watching!

"Hehe, Xiao Yilin is so easily flustered."

Seeing Lin Yilin's amusing expression, Su Muzhi said cheerfully.

"Unlike someone, who's just a female ruffian."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"Hehe, I gave someone the chance to be a male ruffian, but he wasn't up to the task."

Su Muzhi chuckled softly.

"Have you ever considered that maybe I find your figure too grating to the touch, so I didn't make a move?"

"Jiang-classmate's aesthetic sense seems to have major problems."

Su Muzhi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I don't know what you're so confident about. You might not be an airport runway, but at least others feel smooth to the touch."

"Touching you, people would think you stuffed two cherry tomatoes in your bra on purpose to prick them."

Jiang Linyuan was a generous person; he never stinted on his evaluations.

Watching Su Muzhi's expression gradually morph into one resembling Shen Wanyu's, he shook his head. See, I was right. She really is narrow-minded.
