For the sake of credits, I might just be able to take on the whole world by myself!
Under the blazing sun, Jiang Linyuan flashed a handsome smile as he guided the bewildered junior students who had just been reborn from the depths of hell.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also watched the diverse crowd passing by, checking to see if any fresh tea had come out.
Unfortunately, his eyesight wasn't very good. All he could see was sex appeal.
"Hi, handsome. Could you help me carry my luggage? It's a bit too much for me to handle alone."
A crisp voice rang out, and a girl with rosy cheeks and a hint of youthful awkwardness entered Jiang Linyuan's view.
Embarrassed, she tucked her windblown hair behind her ear, wearing a smile that was just the right amount of shy.
Gah... What a presence!
[Target: Su Muzhi; Bad Woman Rating: A]
An A-rank tea girl he'd never seen before! The new students were truly full of hidden talents!
It seemed people of the same type attracted each other. JoJo had been right!
Fate was on his side! Time to make his move!
"Did you come by yourself, junior? You're amazing."
Jiang Linyuan easily took her luggage and naturally fell into step beside Su Muzhi, striking up a conversation.
Hearing the compliment, the girl smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"It's nothing."
"Is the luggage too heavy, senior? I have some water here. Would you like a drink?"
Walking alongside Jiang Linyuan, she glanced at his handsome profile, then fumbled a little as she pulled a bottle of water from her bag and offered it to him.
With her shy, flushed face and considerate tone, an ordinary guy might have lost his head!
What an aggressive approach! Was this the prodigy of the Tea Sect?! She'd only just graduated high school, yet she'd somehow mastered such a divine technique without a teacher!
But unfortunately for you, you ran into me.
"Thanks, junior. You're so thoughtful."
Jiang Linyuan had just reached for the water when Su Muzhi stumbled, spilling the bottle she'd just opened all over him.
"Oh! Senior, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Let me get you some tissues..."
She cried out in alarm, apologizing sincerely as she hurriedly pulled out some tissues. Seeing her chance, she moved to wipe the soaked area of Jiang Linyuan's clothes.
Not good! This wasn't an ordinary green tea girl. She was chaining her moves!
"No need. I'll wipe it myself. And be careful, junior."
Jiang Linyuan blocked Su Muzhi's hand, his manner suddenly firm.
Su Muzhi seemed to realize something. Looking at his wet abdomen and the area below, she flushed red and held out the tissues without another word.
The atmosphere between them suddenly turned awkward as they continued on their way.
But in truth, Jiang Linyuan's guard was already at its highest.
As expected of an A-rank tea girl. She'd deliberately set up that whole routine.
Tsk, did she really think he couldn't tell she'd been deliberately sizing up his physique just because his eyesight wasn't great?
Female gaze—dial it back!
When dealing with a tea girl who made the first move, he absolutely couldn't act too eager. That would make her think he was easy to manipulate.
Jiang Linyuan knew this from experience.
So now, he had to pretend he was upset about getting soaked and give Su Muzhi another chance to make her move!
"Senior, your clothes are soaked. It's all my fault. Everyone on the way here was staring at you. I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Su Muzhi spoke, lowering her voice and sounding a little aggrieved.
Good. She'd been the first to back down. Now it was only fair to return the favor. His turn.
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
Jiang Linyuan softened his tone and teased her.
"They might not be looking at me. Compared to someone who's soaking wet, a pretty girl is still more likely to draw attention."
Su Muzhi froze, her bright eyes fixed on Jiang Linyuan. It seemed to take her a moment to process his words. Then she blushed and murmured,
"You're really good with words, senior."
Then she boldly lifted her head and smiled sweetly.
"Maybe they're looking at both of us!"
Hiss! Good one, green tea girl! You've got my attention!
Jiang Linyuan brought out every trick he'd learned from dealing with green tea girls in the past, chatting and laughing with Su Muzhi the whole way.
When they reached the dormitory area, Jiang Linyuan stopped.
"The women's dorm is up ahead. I've never been inside, so you can go on your own."
That was a lie. He'd been there before.
Su Muzhi raised an eyebrow, then relaxed and asked with a beaming smile,
"Someone as handsome as you, senior, and you don't have a girlfriend?"
"No."
Jiang Linyuan answered frankly.
Good. Here it comes. The tea girl was about to use her classic line.
"Really? Then could I add you on WeChat, senior? I hope you can help me out if there's anything I don't understand later."
Su Muzhi's eyes lit up. The trap was revealed.
He'd been waiting for that move.
"Sure."
Jiang Linyuan pulled out his phone without hesitation. They added each other on WeChat and exchanged names.
Plan successful. Cha-cha-cha!
Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, Su Muzhi suddenly laughed, no longer looking the least bit shy.
"Jiang Linyuan, the campus heartthrob, really lives up to his reputation. You're an interesting person."
"Let's chat more on WeChat sometime. Thanks for carrying my luggage all this way!"
With that, she turned and walked into another dormitory building. She scanned her face at the entrance and went inside with practiced ease, her movements smooth and fluid.
That dorm was for second-year students.
Jiang Linyuan was stunned for a moment.
What! The intel was wrong! Su Muzhi wasn't a new student at all!
Damn green tea girl! She'd actually pulled the play-weak-to-catch-the-strong routine!
So she wasn't some Tea Sect prodigy at all. She was an old hand from the Forbidden Zone of Life!
I'd been set up by the system! She was a bad woman!! She'd gotten free labor out of me!
O merciful heavens, why are you so unfair to me!
Next time we meet, I'll make sure to cash in every one of your rewards!
"Um, senior, could you tell me if East District Dormitory Building Twelve is around here?"
Just as Jiang Linyuan was lamenting his fate, a timid voice sounded beside him.
He looked up. It was a very quiet girl, with a lovely face and gentle eyes. When she noticed Jiang Linyuan looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.
[Target: Zhang Juntang; Bad Woman Rank: D]
So she was a sweet, decent girl. How boring.
"Yeah, it's this way. I'll take you there."
Jiang Linyuan glanced at the various pieces of luggage she was carrying, then hesitantly asked,
"You're a new student, right?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Juntang looked up in confusion, unsure why Jiang Linyuan had asked.
But she quickly nodded emphatically and stammered,
"Y-yes... I'm starting university for the first time. I'm Zhang Juntang, from the Normal College. My student number is..."
You might as well say it's your first time being a person.
Jiang Linyuan grumbled to himself.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't tell me all that. Give me your luggage."
Such a silly... adorable new student.
After seeing so many tea girls, this was the first time Jiang Linyuan had encountered such a rare species. They were few and far between.
He'd have to remember this. If he ever ran short on living expenses, he could sell pens to this girl for some extra money.
"Um, I can manage on my own..."
Zhang Juntang was about to say something, but Jiang Linyuan couldn't hear her mosquito-like mumble at all. He picked up her luggage and strode ahead.
"Wait for me!"
