So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and nodded. Although she had just been thinking about using Lin Mu as her "shield," she only thought about the result and ignored the process.

Everyone kept calling her "sister-in-law," which made Jiang Wan blush.

"Buzzing—"

Just then, Lin Mu's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw a message from Wang Zixing.

[Brother Lin, I saw Lu Ming there, but after thinking about it, I decided not to show myself.]

Looking at the text message, Lin Mu scratched his chin.

"You've grown up, My Love from the Star!"

Lin Mu put away his phone, then smiled and pulled the embarrassed Jiang Wan behind him.

"Alright, she's shy, don't call her sister-in-law anymore. She's only a freshman, just call her junior."

Thinking that all of these dozen or so people had put down their work to help, Lin Mu immediately waved his hand.

"Brothers and sisters! Thank you all so much for coming to support me today! Let's find a restaurant tonight and have a good meal together, as a way of wishing you all a happy start to the new school year!"

"Brother Lin is so generous!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin! Thank you, junior!"

The boys immediately cheered.

Meanwhile, Jiang Luming, who had witnessed the whole thing, was blinking his big eyes in confusion as he stood to the side of the crowd.

She glanced at Lin Mu, who was all smiles, and then at Jiang Wan, whose ears were flushed red.

"That's not right..."

Jiang Luming was having some doubts.

"If Wan'er really disliked Lin Mu that much, how could she have so readily accepted his flowers? Let alone let him hold her hand or have someone else call her 'sister-in-law'!"

As she was muttering to herself, she suddenly remembered her conversation with her "senior" before.

"Could it really be like what the senior said, that Wan'er has already fallen for Lin Mu?!"

Jiang Luming swallowed hard, then silently lowered his head.

"So, is our [Anti-Lin Mu Organization] going to sink before it even sets sail?"

Just as Jiang Luming was deep in thought, Lin Mu turned his head and looked at Jiang Wan with a smile.

"Wanza, everyone's going, how about you, our 'bandit's wife,' do us the honor of coming for a meal?"

"I……"

Jiang Wan instinctively wanted to refuse, but she felt a little embarrassed. So much had happened today, from the scuffle in the dorm to her father catching her in the act, and now the holding hands and the "sister-in-law"...

She was overwhelmed by the shock of the day and just wanted to get back to her dorm and sleep to forget everything that had happened.

"I...I'm not going."

Jiang Wan gently twisted her hand, trying to pull her hand away from Lin Mu's.

"I still have a bunch of luggage to unpack in the dorm, I'm not very familiar with the campus, and I also need to prepare for military training..."

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Lin Mu released Jiang Wan's hand.

"Yeah, look at my head. She just started school, and there's a ton of messy things to sort out."

Lin Mu waved his hand casually.

"Besides, it's not appropriate for a group of grown men to drink and brag with her."

"Brother Lin, I'm a girl too, why don't you say it's inappropriate for you to take me along?"

As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, a girl in the crowd raised her hand.

"Zihan, you're the biggest drinker out of this group! What are you pretending for?!"

Lin Mu rolled his eyes, speechless.

"hey-hey."

Zihan chuckled and patted the 1.8-meter-tall, burly man next to her, who was a head shorter than her.

Lin Mu then turned around and smiled at Jiang Wan, his tone unusually gentle.

"Take Lin Qian and Lu... and your roommate back to the dorm right away. Call me anytime if anything happens."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan was taken aback.

She tilted her head back and looked at Lin Mu, who seemed different from usual, with a puzzled expression.

"When did he become so agreeable? Wasn't he always determined to get what he wanted?"

But in the end, she pursed her pink lips and softly hummed in agreement.

"Okay, thank you."

Watching Jiang Wan, Lu Ming, and Lin Qian, who kept turning back to look at him as they walked away, Lin Mu chuckled and took out his phone from his pocket, sending a text message to Wang Zixing.

Two minutes later, Wang Zixing jogged over to the crowd.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lu, Sister Zihan..."

Wang Zixing greeted them one by one.

"Okay, now that we're all here, let's have a short meeting."

Lin Mu pointed to the empty tent left behind by the three people.

"This location is great, let's move that stall from the stadium here. Everyone, please work hard this afternoon, and after this week, I'll treat the eight of you to a trip!"

"Great! Long live Brother Lin!"

"Brother Lin!!!"

After the cheers subsided, Lin Mu thought for a moment and then added a final sentence before concluding.

"As my first batch of subordinates, you must have a resounding title, so how about... 【Eight Immortals】? It's just right for the eight of you."

"The Eight Immortals? Interesting! I'll be Lü Dongbin then!"

"Bullshit! I'm the real Lü Dongbin!"

Zihan: "I won't compete with you. There's only one woman among the Eight Immortals, so I'll be He Xiangu."

After looking at Zihan's muscular physique, everyone unanimously declared, "Zihan, you should be Han Zhongli."

Zihan: "???"

At dusk, a food stall near the east gate of Linda University.

In the open air, Lin Mu had a cigarette in his mouth, surrounded by Wang Zixing and his "Eight Immortals" gang, as well as a dozen or so students who came to support him.

"Lin Mu, let me toast you! Without you, I simply couldn't afford to rent a place near the school."

[Iron-Crutch Li] Lu Chengzhou raised his wine bottle, clinked it with Lin Mu's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, let's all make money together. I only recruited you because I thought you were capable."

Lin Mu smiled, raised the bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Alright, everyone's worked hard today, eat and drink well! Anyway... well, don't say that on the way here, cheers!"

"Done!!!"

After the meal, everyone was flushed and rosy-cheeked. With his outgoing personality and excellent social skills, Lin Mu quickly became friends with the group of college students. Even Wang Zixing was drunk and his face was red and his neck was thick.

At 9:30 p.m., everyone went home and went to their mothers.

Lin Mu took a taxi home, enjoying the warm evening breeze.

"Click".

As soon as Lin Mu entered the house, he saw Lin Qian lying on the sofa.

She was holding a bag of potato chips, chewing as she watched a variety show, occasionally letting out a carefree laugh.

Hearing the door open, Lin Qian turned around and saw Lin Mu, who reeked of alcohol.

"Brother, you're back."

Lin Qian pointed to the kitchen.

"Your aunt has prepared some hangover soup, go and have some."

"Hey sis."

However, Lin Mu did not go to the kitchen. Instead, he went to the sofa and sat down next to Lin Qian.

Upon smelling the strong odor of alcohol, Lin Qian moved away in disgust.

"Brother, you're not like my dad, always trying to lecture people when you're drunk, are you? Do you even have any great principles to share?"

"Little sister, I don't have any grand theories, but I have something to ask you."

Lin Mu stood up and started moving his body.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Mu's strange behavior, Lin Qian shrank her neck nervously, feeling that nothing good was going on.

After the event, Lin Mu didn't say anything more. To Lin Qian's surprise, he directly grabbed Lin Qian by the back of the neck.

"Little sister, why did you betray your brother?"
