Green Tea?

Supported by Wang Dong'er, Jiang Mu walked through Shrek Academy, clearly able to smell the floral fragrance drifting from her body.

Secretly observing the expression on her little face, he found that aside from her gloomy look, there seemed to be a hint of guilt as well?

Jiang Mu fell into thought.

This karmic setup was really nice. It felt great to torment someone who harbored killing intent toward him.

Why had Huo Yuhao done such a thing?

Aside from acting on his emotions, there was naturally the system's karmic assistance as well.

Jiang Mu had used the system to make arrangements the moment he decided to retaliate against Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had attacked him?

He could use this opportunity to get a little closer to Wang Dong'er through him, or perhaps threaten Wang Dong'er?

And show off Huo Yuhao while he was at it.

It was just that the outcome seemed a little different from what he had expected.

He had not even opened his mouth to threaten her yet, but guilt had already appeared on Wang Dong'er's face?

This guilt seemed rather inexplicable.

As he observed her again, Wang Dong'er happened to raise her eyes as well, and their gazes met. Then Wang Dong'er looked away and spoke guiltily.

"I'm sorry."

"He should be a guard sent by my family, specifically to protect me, or perhaps to keep an eye on me so I don't get deceived. He's too weak, though. He probably can't even protect me."

"Right, perhaps you misunderstood the situation when you acted just now?"

"This young lady apologizes for that guard's unreasonable behavior and unprovoked attack."

Wang Dong'er blinked and nodded. When she raised her head again, the expression on her face had not changed much and still carried an apology.

Yet those words were already enough.

Upon hearing them, Jiang Mu came to a realization.

So it was a misunderstanding.

Judging from her words, Wang Dong'er did not know Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao knew her. Then he was most likely a guard sent by Da Ming and Er Ming—anyway, someone sent to observe her activities at Shrek Academy.

That definitely was not the truth. From Huo Yuhao's reaction, it was far more than mere acquaintance. There had been a dark possessiveness in his eyes.

Combined with my previous experience meeting Tang Ya, I can be even more certain of that guess. He had most likely been reborn.

Otherwise, even if Huo Yuhao had fallen in love with Wang Dong'er at first sight, he would not have shown that kind of expression. His face had turned green, as if he had been cuckolded.

"..."

Jiang Mu looked her up and down. Gazing at this young lady filled with apology, he suddenly had a new idea.

"It's fine. I don't blame you. You weren't the one who attacked me."

"And I don't blame him either. It was most likely a misunderstanding. He just wanted to protect you in the heat of the moment, which led to this. If anyone is to blame, it's my poor mental resistance. Whenever I get attacked, I become dizzy and disoriented."

Jiang Mu put on an act, raising a hand to rub his head as he spoke in a deliberately pitiful tone.

Mm, and after saying that, he leaned into Wang Dong'er's embrace.

Feeling his weight against her, Wang Dong'er's face flushed crimson. She had no intention of backing away. Her face gradually grew hotter, yet she did not dodge him either, feeling deeply guilty inside.

"How can you say that? This young lady was the one who came to find you. That guard launched a sneak attack without a word. It was definitely his fault."

Wang Dong'er was already somewhat grown-up now. She gently stroked Jiang Mu's head, checking whether there were any lingering effects while comforting him.

Besides, that was how she saw it too. She could be unreasonable, but no one else could!

"And he is this young lady's guard, yet he is so weak. He merely took advantage of his martial soul's attributes to successfully sneak attack you. This isn't your fault."

Perhaps driven by guilt, Wang Dong'er temporarily forgot the real reason she had sought Jiang Mu out. She was now truly speaking up for Jiang Mu like one of his pursuers.

"If he dares to sneak attack others without a word today, he might dare to sneak attack this young lady next time. Someone like that absolutely cannot be kept."

Jiang Mu continued pretending to be in pain all over as he rubbed against Wang Dong'er's softness.

"Don't... don't say that..."

"Ah..."

"Let's go back to the dormitory first. Lie down on the bed and rest for a while. I'll go find a healing soul master for you later."

Jiang Mu did not say much.

He had become a white lotus after all. He had nearly disgusted himself enough to throw up.

Wang Dong'er was not idle along the way either. Her little mouth kept moving as she chattered on and on.

"I really didn't expect the guard they sent to be this kind of person. Not only is he weak, but he also has a bad temper and attacks people whenever he wants. How can someone with that kind of temperament be any good?"

"And his level is way too low. He's only level 11, far too weak. What is he supposed to use to protect this young lady?"

She chattered about it the entire way.

Jiang Mu listened quietly.

Outside Dormitory 108.

After being led here, Wang Dong'er looked at the entrance to Dormitory 108 with a shocked expression.

"You... you live here?"

"Yep."

Without hesitation, he took out the dormitory key. Click.

The door opened.

A wave of damp air rushed at them!

"Mm, is someone taking a bath?"

"Sorry..."

Wang Dong'er suddenly apologized, leaving Jiang Mu a little dumbfounded. He merely tilted his head.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Uh."

Wang Dong'er's expression stiffened. She suddenly remembered that she was currently dressed as a girl, not as Wang Dong, who lived in this dormitory.

"Uh, I mean, I still feel guilty. Lie down on the bed first. Your roommate probably isn't here."

"Oh~"

Wang Dong'er acted a little awkwardly. She did not want to expose herself. The person in this room was her, after all. Otherwise, her plan of disguising herself as a boy would be exposed immediately.

And her plan...

Her plan...

Wang Dong'er pressed her lips together, remembering her original plan as she looked at Jiang Mu's profile while supporting him.

Hmph~ His looks are decent enough, though his strength is lacking.

Still, overall, letting him fawn over me wouldn't be so bad.

As her thoughts unconsciously drifted away, Jiang Mu, who could not read minds, continued pretending to be dazed and slowly lay down on the bed he had made yesterday.

"Ow."

The moment she let go of Jiang Mu, Wang Dong'er lost her strength as well. Too exhausted to hold up her head, she directly rested it on Jiang Mu's arm, breathing heavily through her mouth.

"Phew~ Hah~"

"So tired."

"Mm~"

It was the young lady's first time, so it was understandable that exercise had exhausted her this much. She slowly fell asleep.

"Phew phew~"

Her heavy breathing gradually became steady.

Jiang Mu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking about what he should do later and what words he could use to threaten Wang Dong'er into doing some fun things.

The hurried breathing by his ear slowly calmed, but the weight on his arm did not leave. Only then did he open his eyes.

"Mm. She fell asleep?"

Whoosh, whoosh~

Wang Dong'er happened to turn over in her sleep and turned her head toward him, revealing her sleeping face.

Ah? The exhaustion from earlier still lingered on her face. Her lips opened and closed steadily as she breathed softly. From this close, he could feel her beauty even more clearly.

"Didn't you say you would help me find a healing soul master?"

"I-I'll rest for a bit."

Wang Dong'er waved a hand. She did not want to leave just yet. She casually squeezed her hand, adjusted herself into a comfortable position, and lay on her side, leaving only her back to Jiang Mu.

Her petite body made one feel that a single embrace would be enough to pull her into one's arms and feel all of her.
