Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

"Classmate Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to hang up? I was thinking of saying hello to your parents."

Su Muzhi looked at Jiang Linyuan, who had just put away his phone, with a beaming smile.

"Don't worry about it, Xiao Su. As long as you treat me with the respect you'd show an elder, I'll pass it along for you."

Jiang Linyuan said without any reservation.

"Oh, Classmate Jiang, are you implying we're family?"

Su Muzhi smiled sweetly.

"Xiao Su, if you want me to be your daddy, the Vice Principal would cry his heart out."

Jiang Linyuan retorted.

"Hehe, so Classmate Jiang has that kind of kink."

Su Muzhi didn't shy away at all, smiling playfully.

"Sigh, Xiao Su, don't try to guess my preferences to please me. It's impossible between us. You don't even have a chance to be a female Lick Dog."

Jiang Linyuan sighed.

"Got it, got it. Classmate Jiang is so popular with women, of course you don't need it."

Su Muzhi clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile:

"Xiao Yilin, Zhang Juntang, and Yu Songsong... I wonder which one is your female Lick Dog?"

How truly detestable, this Cringe Woman. She's rotten to the core.

Forget about Xiao Yilin and Yu Songsong, but why the hell did you have to drag Zhang Juntang into this?

"You're my only female Lick Dog. Satisfied with that answer?"

Jiang Linyuan said.

"But didn't you just say I don't even have a chance?"

"This is a test! If you waver, it means you're not worthy of being my Lick Dog! This is a necessary test of affection!"

Jiang Linyuan declared shamelessly.

"Hehe."

Su Muzhi offered a polite smile and said:

"Next Sunday, my mom wants to invite you to dinner, Classmate Jiang. I'll come pick you up. Don't run away like a Lick Dog, okay." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Fine."

Jiang Linyuan nodded. Every conversation with this Cringe Woman was mentally exhausting.

It's so much easier to talk with the Innocent Little Virgin.

Sigh, first day missing Xiao Yilin.

After finishing the discussion about Auntie Shaqima's matter, Su Muzhi stood up and left, not even sparing a cup of milk tea for Jiang Linyuan.

Cheapskate.

Jiang Linyuan walked along the roadside, looking toward the girls' dormitory in the distance with a menacing expression.

Well then, next up,

Haji Yao, I'm coming for your dog life!

...

Jiang Linyuan charged all the way to Jiang Zhiyao's dormitory building and called her:

"Come out. I'm at your dorm. There's something very important to discuss."

"What is it?"

Jiang Zhiyao's tone sounded somewhat displeased, but the sound of putting on shoes could be heard:

"What couldn't you say over the phone that you had to come all the way to my dorm?"

"Taking you out to have fun."

"Huh?"

Jiang Zhiyao paused on the other end, suspiciously asking:

"You're not trying to scam me out of money, are you?"

Very good, Haji Yao. Still slandering me. That's an additional crime. You're dead.

"My treat. Just come out."

"Oh."

Jiang Zhiyao didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, she walked out fully dressed, wearing a brown checkered long skirt paired with small white shoes.

Her upper body had a snow-white base layer, topped with a gray wool cardigan, giving off a well-behaved and intellectual vibe.

But she ruined it as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Did that Yu Songsong dump you? Coming to me to cry about it?"

Jiang Zhiyao stood beside Jiang Linyuan, frowning as she looked at him.

Cry where?

Jiang Linyuan couldn't tell for a moment if she was making a dirty joke or having a serious conversation, so he simply changed the subject:

"Your big brother made a huge profit from stocks. Taking you out to eat."

Jiang Zhiyao looked him up and down:

"Did you get diagnosed with a terminal illness and don't have much time left? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"

Your chest is so flat. The two Demon Pills up there probably aren't even as big as the one I have down below, yet you still dare to speak so lawlessly.

This Haji Yao really doesn't know who's boss!

"Hah, suit yourself."

Jiang Linyuan sneered coldly and walked straight ahead.

Jiang Zhiyao pouted and followed.

The autumn air was slightly cool, and the evening breeze carried a hint of chill.

The two walked out of the school gate.

Jiang Zhiyao looked at Jiang Linyuan's thin sweatshirt and asked:

"Aren't you cold?"

"I'm not as weak as you."

Jiang Linyuan glanced at Jiang Zhiyao, who was bundled up tightly, and sneered.

Now that he had [Superhero Robust Physique], he wasn't afraid of getting sick or catching a cold at all.

Seeing her concern met with such a retort, Jiang Zhiyao gritted her teeth in anger and said sarcastically:

"Hmph, who knows about you. Hanging out with those Green Teas every day, better not catch some weird disease."

"Tsk, you really wish the best for your brother, huh."

Jiang Linyuan said.

Jiang Zhiyao swayed and bumped into him:

"If I really didn't care about you, I wouldn't be telling you every day to stop hanging out with those Green Teas."

"Relax, I've said it so many times, bro. It's all just acting for the occasion, just playing around."

Jiang Linyuan looked at Jiang Zhiyao's sulky face and said lightly.

"Then how long do you plan to keep playing?"

Jiang Zhiyao suddenly asked.

The night wind blew past. Under the dim yellow streetlights, Jiang Linyuan fell silent for a moment:

"Not anytime soon."

After dealing with Yu Songsong's matter, he was too tired.

He also wanted to take a break.

"So you will again later?"

Jiang Zhiyao was clearly dissatisfied with his answer and bumped him again.

"Don't worry, sis. After being influenced by so many Green Teas, the sister-in-law your brother finds for you will definitely be a good woman!"

Jiang Linyuan changed the subject, skirting the main issue.

"You make something like that sound so refined and elegant. You're really shameless enough!"

Jiang Zhiyao looked at him with disdain.

The two soon arrived at a restaurant and ordered some random dishes.

Sitting across from Jiang Linyuan, Jiang Zhiyao suddenly said:

"No kindness is offered without a motive. What do you really want?"

"Mom said we're not biologically related."

Jiang Linyuan said.

The chopsticks in Jiang Zhiyao's hand slipped and fell to the floor.

What are you so surprised about? Didn't Mom already tell you about this?

For you, isn't this as clear as helping an old lady cross the road—the size is obvious at a glance?

Jiang Linyuan looked utterly bewildered.

Jiang Zhiyao calmly pulled out another pair of chopsticks and said indifferently:

"Oh, when did you find out?"

"Today. Mom said you already knew and didn't tell me."

"You never asked."

Jiang Zhiyao said with an air of righteous confidence.

This Haji Yao needs a spanking!

Jiang Linyuan picked up his chopsticks and tapped her on the head:

"Who would actively ask about something like this without being told!?"

"Then how did *you* find out!"

Jiang Zhiyao, having been tapped, covered her head and shot back.

"None of your business! I have my sources of information!"

Jiang Linyuan said irritably:

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"On purpose."

Jiang Zhiyao crossed her arms, looking down on Jiang Linyuan:

"You did too many dog-like things during the summer trip. It made me so angry I didn't want to talk to you at all."

You're so selfish, only thinking about yourself!

"Fine."

Jiang Linyuan had no intention of continuing the argument. Getting things clear was enough.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyao asked again:

"What do you think about this?"

"Just whatever."

Jiang Linyuan looked completely indifferent.

Jiang Zhiyao snorted and buried her head in her meal.

Suddenly, she called out coldly:

"Bro."

"What?"

"You'll always be my brother. Remember that."

"Or else what?"

"Hmph hmph."

Jiang Zhiyao lifted her little head, though it wasn't clear what she was so proud about.
