Lin Kenning couldn't sleep all night. It was her first time sharing a room with a guy, and her heart kept pounding.

Mu Changsheng, on the other hand, slept quite comfortably, waking up at eleven in the morning.

Mu Changsheng rubbed his eyes groggily and glanced at the time. It was just past eleven. "It's only just past eleven."

As a university student, Mu Changsheng felt sleeping until past eleven was perfectly normal.

Of course, that excluded the dreaded 8 AM classes.

Mu Changsheng stood up and realized Lin Kenning had already left.

Mu Changsheng didn't pay it any mind. After washing up, he left the room. He had a major class in the afternoon and couldn't skip it.

There was a difference between an easy elective and a major course.

Mu Changsheng rode his electric scooter all the way to Tiannan Normal University. After plugging in the scooter to charge, he headed towards the classroom.

Xi Chunpeng had already saved him a seat. Mu Changsheng smiled slightly and sat down next to Xi Chunpeng.

"No way, Old Mu, you've been out delivering food all night again?"

As soon as he sat down, Xi Chunpeng looked worried.

Mu Changsheng chuckled, "It's fine, I'm used to it."

"Used to what? Bro, how many people die suddenly from staying up late these days? You're my only friend. If you die, who am I going to ask to be my best man when I get married?" Xi Chunpeng said with a mournful expression.

"Don't jinx me. Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a meal on Sunday," Mu Changsheng said, shaking his head helplessly with a smile.

Xi Chunpeng rolled his eyes at Mu Changsheng. "Forget it. With the little money you have, you should just keep it for yourself."

Mu Changsheng froze, opened his mouth, and then gave a wry smile.

Good friends like this... were rare.

"Huh? No, Old Mu, are those girls looking at you?"

Xi Chunpeng pointed at a few girls in the middle and said with a frown.

Mu Changsheng was taken aback. He hadn't noticed anything. "Are you mistaken?"

"Impossible, absolutely not. They are definitely looking at you."

Xi Chunpeng shook his head, then took a closer look at Mu Changsheng. Up close, even Xi Chunpeng had to admit that Mu Changsheng was handsome!

"No way, Old Mu, did you get plastic surgery in Korea last night?"

Mu Changsheng rolled his eyes at Xi Chunpeng's exaggeration. "Get lost. You're the one who needs plastic surgery."

"Damn, why do I feel like you got so much handsomer overnight?"

Mu Changsheng touched his chin. "Maybe... I've been playing too much of the 'King's' development path, and my body has also developed."

"..."

"Rumble..."

Mu Changsheng's stomach suddenly rumbled. He hadn't eaten in the morning, and he hadn't eaten at noon either, which made him feel incredibly hungry.

Mu Changsheng glanced at the time. Class was in a few minutes. There wasn't enough time.

He'd just have to starve for now and buy something to eat after class.

Just then, Xi Chunpeng suddenly exclaimed, "Old Mu... a girl is walking towards you!"

Mu Changsheng was stunned. He instinctively looked up and saw Lin Kenning walking towards him.

Lin Kenning seemed a bit shy. She picked up the plastic bag in her hand, which contained a pink cartoon lunchbox. Then, under Xi Chunpeng's shocked gaze, she placed the lunchbox in front of Mu Changsheng.

"Um... it's still warm... you... you can eat it first."

Lin Kenning sounded a bit shy. If they weren't close, he wouldn't have been able to hear her at all.

Mu Changsheng blinked, looked at the lunchbox in front of him, his lips moved slightly, and then he broke into a smile. "Thanks."

"Oh, right, there's still space inside. Do you want to sit here?"

Mu Changsheng patted the seat next to him and said with a smile.

Lin Kenning's face immediately flushed red. She shook her head and said, "N-no need..."

As soon as Lin Kenning finished speaking, she scurried away and sat in a corner in the second row.

"Seriously, why is the transparent person in our class bringing him food?"

"Who knows? Maybe she's got a crush."

"Yeah, I heard from Jiang Ruizhao that his family is quite well-off."

"Haha, then they really are a match made in heaven..."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

At this moment, Mu Changsheng suddenly stood up and placed his hand on the shoulder of the man in front. He recognized this person; he hung out with Jiang Ruizhao a lot. His name seemed to be Zhang Haixing.

Zhang Haixing's expression darkened. He stiffly turned around to face Mu Changsheng, who was a full head taller at 1.9 meters. The oppressive aura emanating from Mu Changsheng made Zhang Haixing feel a surge of fear.

"You were talking so fiercely just now. Want to say it to my face too?"

"I happen to have a seat here. Want to come sit down?"

Mu Changsheng flashed a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Zhang Haixing remain silent, Mu Changsheng tightened his grip. The immense pressure caused Zhang Haixing's face to contort in pain.

Zhang Haixing grew even more fearful. Standing at just 1.6 meters, facing Mu Changsheng and his piercing gaze, he felt no urge to resist.

"I'm sorry... you might have misunderstood... we weren't talking about you..."

Mu Changsheng frowned and glanced at the pale-faced man beside Zhang Haixing. "And you?"

The man's heart leaped with fear. He quickly shook his head and said, "We weren't talking about you just now..."

"Oh, well then, if it wasn't about us, that's fine. You should have said so earlier. It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Mu Changsheng patted Zhang Haixing on the shoulder, a kind smile on his face.

Mu Changsheng sat down. Without a word, Zhang Haixing and the other man switched seats. Mu Changsheng let out a cold laugh, "Bullies who only pick on the weak."

Xi Chunpeng's jaw dropped. "No way, Old Mu, you're this badass?"

Mu Changsheng opened his lunchbox, looking at the braised pork and vegetables inside. He rolled his eyes at Xi Chunpeng. "Badass my ass. I'm starving."

Xi Chunpeng shook his head enviously. "I wish I could grow as tall as you. Then we could go kick some ass together."

Mu Changsheng took a bite and chuckled. "You could go to the gym. You don't have anything else to do anyway, just reading novels all day. Why not buy some protein powder and hang out at the school gym?"

Xi Chunpeng blinked, then his eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

"Hey, wait a minute. Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, what's your relationship with Lin Kenning?"

"I don't remember you two being this close before."

"She even brought you lunch?"

Faced with Xi Chunpeng's interrogation, Mu Changsheng continued to eat his lunchbox, saying, "I just helped her out with a small thing yesterday, I didn't expect... she'd give me... this lunchbox."

"Helped her out? Hey, no, Old Mu, but how did she know you hadn't eaten?"

Xi Chunpeng suddenly felt confused.

Mu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly sat up straight. "The teacher's here. Time to check in on Xuexitong..."

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. They might have just changed the name!
