10: Chapter 10 The School Beauty's True Level

Zhang Ming asked: "Luochuan, why do you play that kind of game!"

"What kind?"

"The role-playing ones! Why don't you play LOL and Honor of Kings?"

"If I play those games, I'll lose!"

"Who wins all the time? These games are about fair competition! And they're not pay-to-win…"

"I'm f*cking rich, why would I want fairness?"

"…"

As they were talking, the group passed by the girls' Dormitory.

Jiang Jinyue was holding an umbrella, wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a warm yellow long cardigan over it!

But her temperament remained as cold and aloof as ever.

Except there were a few more boys around her!!

Seeing her like this, Tang Luochuan couldn't help but mutter quietly: "It's like she's f*cking mourning a dead husband."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Zhou Qi quickly tugged at his sleeve. "What if someone hears you?"

At this moment, a boy wearing a trendy hoodie was eagerly handing over a plastic bag.

The bag contained steaming buns and soy milk: "Jiang Jinyue, I saw you didn't have breakfast, so I specifically went to the cafeteria to buy these…"

Jiang Jinyue didn't even lift her eyelids: "No need."

"Take it, it's still hot!"

"I said, no need."

She moved half a step to the side, leaving the bag in the boy's hand hanging in mid-air, his smile stuck in an awkward position.

Another boy trotted over from the side, holding a bouquet of baby's breath. Water droplets clung to the petals, though it was unclear if it was rainwater or preservative spray.

"Classmate Jiang, this… this is for you! I think your temperament really suits this kind of flower."

Jiang Jinyue finally looked up at him: "I don't like it…"

"Ah? Then… then…"

"And," she paused, "this kind of flower is on sale at flower shops for nine yuan and nine cents a bunch. Next time you want to give someone a gift, at least pick something decent."

The boy's face turned bright red, and the bouquet in his hand suddenly felt scorching hot.

Tang Luochuan muttered again: "She's giving you face, it's already generous of her to accept! And she's still being picky…"

He was rich now, but only for about 24 hours or so.

His emotional point of view was still that of an average man, because he had been that way for 18 years.

It was impossible for him to change his mindset all at once.

Therefore, Tang Luochuan's complaints were basically directed at Jiang Jinyue; he actually felt the boys were quite sincere.

"They just met you, do you expect them to give you an apartment?" Tang Luochuan mumbled incessantly.

As they were talking, a third boy appeared.

This one seemed better prepared, carrying an exquisite paper bag with the logo of a well-known cosmetics brand printed on it.

"Jiang Jinyue, this… I see your skin is so good, you must pay a lot of attention to skincare. This is the star moisturizer from their brand, I… I specifically asked someone to bring it from the counter."

Jiang Jinyue actually took it this time. Amidst the boy's surprised gaze, she looked down at the packaging.

"This moisturizer…" she glanced at it, "the texture is too thick, it clogs pores."

"Ah? No… that can't be right, the online reviews are very good…"

"And," she handed the paper bag back, "I use LA MER. This brand is too cheap."

"How… how much does it cost?"

"About three thousand or more a bottle, I don't remember exactly. If you really want to give a gift, put some effort into it!"

Once these words were out, the boys present fell silent instantly.

Call her money-grubbing? But her family background was already well-off; there was no need.

Call her not money-grubbing? Without some substance, you really couldn't pursue her.

Many people had long known that Jiang Jinyue's conditions were outstanding, but they only thought of her as a white swan untouched by worldly affairs, a naive and innocent little princess.

They thought she hadn't seen the mundane world and was full of pure, unrealistic romance.

But no one expected—she wasn't stupid at all, and was actually very realistic.

"Luochuan, can you afford to chase her?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

Tang Luochuan frowned slightly: "I just cursed her for having a dead husband, and you want me to chase her! Get lost…"

The three of them were about to leave when Jiang Jinyue noticed him and called out softly: "Tang Luochuan!"

"Huh?" The boy turned back.

"Are you going to the cafeteria??"

"Uh… I… I… I…"

Seeing the boy stutter, everyone thought he was nervous.

After a good while, Tang Luochuan replied somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't bring food for others."

Only a simp would f*cking bring food for a girl, unless it was his girlfriend.

But it had only been a day, he and Jiang Jinyue hadn't chatted much, and she wanted him to bring her food?? No way!

Jiang Jinyue's expression finally changed, and she covered her mouth and chuckled: "Let's go together, I'm heading over too! I won't make you bring me food."

As she spoke, she took out her card: "I can even treat you, anyway you're treating me tonight, right?"

Tang Luochuan saw the meal card and touched his pocket; he hadn't gotten a meal card yet.

He had thought about borrowing one from Zhang Ming or Zhou Qi first.

However, since Jiang Jinyue had said so, he didn't feel embarrassed to refuse.

"Fine, let's go together."

Just as he finished speaking and was about to leave.

Another person walked out of the girls' Dormitory: "Wait for me!"

It was Senior Shen Muyan.

Regarding the incident in the group chat yesterday, some people's comments seemed to be aimed at her.

It did affect the girls' mentality, but after waking up this morning, she felt that she hadn't really suffered any losses.

At the very least, he really did send her back, even if she couldn't guess the boy's original intention.

So she still wanted to try interacting…

As long as there was no drinking or messing around tonight, and it was just a simple meal.

What could be wrong with that?

Senior Shen Muyan had changed her outfit today: a light blue knitted dress, with a beige short trench coat over it. Her hair was loosely pinned behind her head, with a few stray strands hanging by her ears, looking much more gentle and graceful than the sporty look from yesterday.

"Senior Shen Muyan!" Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming greeted in unison, their tone tinged with the excitement of watching a show.

"Hello!" Senior Shen Muyan maintained her gentle and elegant image, giving people a sense of warmth.

Tang Luochuan greeted her with a smile.

He hadn't made any explanations online. If a girl distanced herself just because of a few words, while he could understand it, their connection would be over.

However, he hadn't expected her to come out after all.

"Luochuan, the clothes are drying in my Dormitory, the weather isn't great! They haven't dried yet…"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Tang Luochuan indicated he didn't mind.

The group seemed harmonious, only Jiang Jinyue frowned slightly: "Senior… how… how did you wash them?"

Senior Shen Muyan said: "I just put them in water and used laundry detergent. There were a few spots stained by tree leaves, so I scrubbed them… they're very clean!"

Jiang Jinyue: "That can be hand-washed, but it cannot be soaked or scrubbed. You… didn't know??"

Senior Shen Muyan was stunned, a trace of panic flashing across her face: "Ah? It can't be scrubbed? Then… then what should I do?"

"It's fine, as long as it's wearable," Tang Luochuan said, not caring.
