After helping Zhang Juntang move her luggage, Jiang Linyuan quickly put this silly, adorable junior out of his mind.
Good girls shouldn't be let down, bad girls shouldn't be wasted.
Jiang Linyuan understood this principle well.
Time was tight, the task was heavy; his top priority was gathering information on Su Muzhi.
But after browsing numerous social media platforms, he found there wasn't a single piece of gossip about Su Muzhi.
This wasn't logical!
As everyone knows, if you often walk by the river, how can you avoid getting your shoes wet?
The first 'Tea Girl' reward card Jiang Linyuan obtained came from gossip he found on the campus marketplace.
As for the rewards that followed?
Let's just say, the social circles of girls are truly wondrous.
After Jiang Linyuan's confession was rejected, the best friend of the first 'Tea Girl' quickly set her sights on him. There was a lot of push and pull, and he wasn't the only one being pulled around; she was also a little green tea herself.
Jiang Linyuan naturally welcomed all comers—what's wrong with freeloading rewards?
The story that followed was like Lu Mingfei, after waiting eighteen years, pushing open the gates of heaven and entering Cassell College. Similarly, Jiang Linyuan stepped into the green tea social circle, embarking on his tea-picking journey.
After that, Jiang Linyuan moved through it as smoothly as a sanitary pad meeting an aunt's visit, thriving within it, consecutively obtaining three reward cards!
First Tea Girl! I respect and adore you!
But now, a new storm has appeared, how can he remain stagnant!
Su Muzhi was one of the few A-grade 'bad women' Jiang Linyuan had encountered!
Regarding the system's grading classification, after all this time, Jiang Linyuan had gained some understanding.
D-grade: Trash-tier little virgins like Jiang Zhiyao, or young girls experiencing their first love—essentially, good girls.
C-grade: Little tea girls who enjoy flirting and stringing along multiple guys, not wanting anything specific, just enjoying the feeling.
B-grade: Seasoned scumbags who systematically cultivate and manage a 'fishpond'.
A-grade: Hiss... Jiang Linyuan really couldn't clearly define what category this belonged to.
The few A-grade bad women he had met were mostly experts at toying with emotions and manipulating people's hearts. They couldn't be called scumbags, but they also couldn't be considered good girls.
The only commonality was that they were extremely difficult to conquer and obtain rewards from.
While pondering this, Jiang Linyuan returned to his dorm room.
"Brother Yuan, hey, don't be sad..."
"Yeah, yeah, that Shen Bihan isn't a good girl anyway, don't take it too hard."
The moment he entered the dorm, his two roommates rushed over to console him, saying things like, "Our son, take heart."
Jiang Linyuan was preoccupied with thoughts of Su Muzhi and had no time for their antics. Suddenly noticing the empty bed opposite, he casually asked:
"Where's Xiao Hei? Why isn't he in the dorm?"
"He went to be with his girlfriend."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he might not even come back tonight."
The sourness in their tones was palpable.
Among their four-person dorm, Xiao Hei was the only one who was taken. He had a girlfriend since high school, and after graduation, they both applied to the same university.
The young couple was very affectionate; you could often see their updates on social media, and it was common for him to stay out overnight.
"I'm back."
At that moment, a person walked in listlessly, carrying several bags of milk tea.
"Xiao Hei? Didn't you say you had plans tonight? Why are you back so early?"
Seeing Xiao Hei, the roommates were confused and asked.
Xiao Hei sighed, placed the milk tea on the table, and muttered distractedly:
"I... Xiao Yun and I might be heading for a breakup."
Hearing this, the two roommates exchanged glances, neither saying another word.
"Did you make her angry?"
Jiang Linyuan raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.
Xiao Hei seemed to have found a vent and poured out the whole story:
"Xiao Yun and I went shopping today. On the way, we ran into a senior from a club, and I chatted with her a bit more. I don't know what upset Xiao Yun."
"After that, she puffed out her cheeks and sulked with me, and we ended up parting on bad terms."
At this point, Xiao Hei let out a long sigh:
"I've only met that senior a few times in total. I explained, the senior tried to mediate too, but Xiao Yun is still angry."
As he spoke, he waved his phone:
"The senior is still apologizing to me, asking for Xiao Yun's contact info, wanting to explain things to her clearly."
Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan immediately perked up, a thoughtful expression on his face:
"Can you show me your chat history with the senior?"
Xiao Hei didn't refuse, directly handing over his phone:
"It's nothing much, Brother Yuan, feel free to look."
Jiang Linyuan only needed one glance before a strong scent of 'tea' hit him.
"Junior, it's all my fault, causing you guys to argue. I really blame myself. Let me help you go apologize."
"Sorry for putting you in an awkward position today. Next time, I'll treat you to a meal to make it up."
"You have such a good temper, not getting angry even when she acts like that. I really envy your girlfriend."
"Though, I can understand. If I had a boyfriend like you, I'd be very careful too."
It wasn't just text; they were sweet, coquettish voice messages.
Hah! Bring me my teapot!
This is no ordinary green tea; we must strike with a heavy fist!
A homewrecker, is it? I can't stand that the most!
Jiang Linyuan sneered coldly, looking at the chat history on the phone, and said:
"Xiao Hei, you go comfort Xiao Yun. Give me this senior's WeChat ID. I'll handle it."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei's expression changed:
"Brother Yuan, you're not setting your sights on her, are you?"
"Nothing of the sort."
Jiang Linyuan said with a serious face:
"I'm someone who loves making friends. Your senior seems quite interesting; I want to befriend her."
"We're all friends here."
The remaining two roommates looked utterly bewildered.
His confession rejection happened not long ago. Had the wound healed that quickly? Looking for a new flame already? Even a shattered Wangwang Suibingbing heart isn't as shattered as yours!
"Xiao Hei, listen to your big brother's advice. The waters here are too deep; you can't navigate them. Let me handle it."
Jiang Linyuan said with utmost seriousness.
Green tea! I need you to aid my cultivation!
After dealing with this annoying little shrimp first, I'll go deal with Su Muzhi!
...
On the other side.
"This makes me so angry! That person is clearly a green tea, and that guy is still foolishly thinking she has good intentions!"
Xiao Yun puffed out her cheeks, saying indignantly:
"Having one Jiang Linyuan in their dorm is enough! How is this green tea-attracting constitution contagious?!"
The woman sitting across from her chuckled softly:
"The green tea you mentioned, is she a senior from your boyfriend's club?"
"Yes, Sister Muzhi, please help me. That person seems very high-level; I'm afraid I can't handle her."
Recalling that sickly sweet, coquettish tone, Xiao Yun felt a shiver run through her body, goosebumps covering her skin.
"No, your relationship matters, solve them yourselves."
Su Muzhi smiled and shook her head, wagging her finger. Seeming to remember something interesting, she added:
"Perhaps, if you wait a little longer, someone will help you solve it."
