I finally went on a date with the A-card girl I've been longing for, and even managed to connect with another A-card girl. Both things should be reasons to celebrate.
So why does combining them feel so tragic?
Jiang Linyuan looked at the chat history on WeChat, his head genuinely aching.
Getting the badminton club to achieve good results was about as difficult as making Louis XVI look back—utterly baffling.
Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. If I can't secure the sponsorship, so be it.
After all, I can still use this opportunity to get closer to Liu Tingting.
No matter what, I won't be at a loss.
"Senior Jiang, you didn't get coffee poured on you?"
Right at that moment, Jiang Linyuan saw a familiar figure appear before him: Su Muzhi.
She very naturally sat down in the seat Shen Wanyu had just vacated, blinked her eyes, and said:
"A pleasant surprise, Senior Jiang? I came specifically to find you, you know?"
"Hah, specifically to watch me make a fool of myself?"
Jiang Linyuan glanced at the smiling, flower-like Su Muzhi and replied.
"Don't say that. I'm actually quite concerned about the progress of your relationship with Shen Wanyu."
Su Muzhi lifted a strand of her hair, curling it around her fingertip, and spoke unhurriedly:
"From what I know, Senior Jiang, you're the guy who's gotten closest to her."
Jiang Linyuan raised an eyebrow:
"Classmate Su, I'm an honest man. Stop speaking in riddles. Let's be completely open with each other. What do you want?"
"Completely open with each other?"
Su Muzhi revealed a sly smile, lowered her head shyly, and said:
"That's not appropriate, is it? In broad daylight..."
Damn it, you think I'm playing some kind of exposure game with you?!
Jiang Linyuan was furious and slapped the table:
"Classmate Su, I'm a gentleman! Don't have such dirty thoughts!"
Su Muzhi giggled:
"The kind with 'gentleman' written all over his body?"
Jiang Linyuan was so angry he laughed.
Playing it pretty wild, huh? A little expert at dirty jokes, are you?
"Hmm? Classmate Jiang can't take a joke? Could it be you're still a little virgin?"
Su Muzhi continued smiling sweetly.
"Hah, Classmate Su, stop making me laugh. If you have something to say, just say it."
Jiang Linyuan replied.
At this point in the conversation, Su Muzhi stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly:
"Classmate Jiang, I've looked into your affairs. It seems you have some kind of obsession with those 'Green Tea' girls."
"And you keep failing repeatedly, yet you become more and more courageous."
As she said this, she stared at Jiang Linyuan, as if trying to read something from his expression.
"Huh? What about it? You have a problem with my preferences?"
Jiang Linyuan put on the expression of someone being treated unfairly:
"The times are so open now. Some people like mature older sisters, some like sweet younger girls. Male-male, male-female, female-female, all kinds of combinations exist."
"What's wrong with me liking 'Green Tea' girls? You have a problem with that? Huh? Are you discriminating against me? Are you trying to stir up conflict? What's your goal? What are your intentions?"
This barrage of questions left Su Muzhi momentarily stunned.
But she quickly recovered and said with a laugh:
"I thought Classmate Jiang was the type who gets completely fooled, so I just wanted to give a little reminder."
"Even if I get fooled, I'm willingly fooled."
Facing Su Muzhi, Jiang Linyuan pretended to be a deeply sentimental person.
At this moment, Su Muzhi showed a thoughtful expression:
"Did Classmate Jiang have his feelings deceived by a 'Green Tea' girl in the past, and now plans to get revenge using the same tactics?"
Huh? Is that a thing?
Jiang Linyuan was taken aback, unsure what Su Muzhi had been imagining.
But this reaction clearly looked like a hit to Su Muzhi.
From her inquiries, Jiang Linyuan had confessed to four little 'Green Tea' girls one after another, and although all ended in failure.
What was intriguing was that some of them later actively sought him out, hoping to be with him. Of course, they were rightfully rejected by Jiang Linyuan.
Su Muzhi didn't know exactly what had happened, but she found it very interesting.
"So, Liu Tingting is Classmate Jiang's target this time?"
Su Muzhi blinked.
"Ah, well..."
The process is completely wrong! But the result is right!
Looking at Su Muzhi's meaningful expression, Jiang Linyuan nodded, showing a melancholic, sorrowful expression:
"That is a past I remember with great fondness..."
Su Muzhi had no time to listen to Jiang Linyuan's fabricated little love story. She waved her hand and proposed:
"Classmate Jiang, let me help you!"
?
"What did you just say?"
Jiang Linyuan wondered if he had misheard.
At this moment, Su Muzhi put on a sorrowful expression:
"Actually, my experience is quite similar to yours. During high school, because of one 'Green Tea' girl, my interpersonal relationships were terrible. She ruined my youth."
As she said this, she slowly looked up and spoke word by word:
"So, I want revenge. Revenge against 'Green Tea' girls!"
Act, keep acting. Revenge? You're killing me.
Jiang Linyuan struggled to suppress the corners of his mouth that kept wanting to turn up.
Hold it in, can't laugh.
In front of him, who had mastered acting skills, Su Muzhi's performance was like an old lady getting into bed—it made him laugh out loud internally.
What 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young girl for being poor'!
Although he thought this, Jiang Linyuan still showed an expression of regretting they hadn't met sooner:
"Classmate Su! Why didn't you say so earlier! So we're both souls adrift in the same world!"
After all, a free wingman is not to be refused.
"Hmm, Classmate Jiang, tell me about your plan. I'll assist you."
Su Muzhi said.
Jiang Linyuan naturally couldn't reveal everything.
He still hadn't figured Su Muzhi out, so how could he trust her?
But using this 'blade' elsewhere held great promise.
"Classmate Su, have you ever thought about joining the badminton club?"
Jiang Linyuan asked with a smile.
You say the badminton club members' skills are average?
No problem, I'll get you a powerful external reinforcement and coach!
Su Muzhi's badminton skills were undeniable, the rock-solid kind.
This was perfect for leveraging her abilities to solve the External Liaison Department's task, while also increasing Liu Tingting's sense of crisis and speeding up the conquest progress!
This move is a win-win!
"Join the badminton club?"
Su Muzhi narrowed her eyes, seeming to think about something, and said with a smile:
"No problem."
"Thank you so much, Classmate Su. I'll discuss the details with you later."
"Don't worry, Classmate Jiang and I are on the same front."
"Hah, that's good then."
The two conversed happily, but both had their own little schemes.
This woman, in the end, still didn't clarify her relationship with Shen Wanyu.
Jiang Linyuan wore a smile on his face while mentally starting to plan how to gather some information about Su Muzhi later.
This man, in the end, didn't mention Shen Wanyu once. What is he plotting?
Su Muzhi's lips curled upward as she began planning to use this scheme to gain a deeper understanding of Jiang Linyuan.
"Pleasant cooperation!"
A smiling tiger with ill intentions.
"Pleasant cooperation!"
A masked man with ulterior motives.
Thinking this in their hearts, they both showed relaxed expressions, smiled at each other, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
