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

"Why are they here?"

In August, under the blazing sun in Lin'an, the air was filled with obvious distortions.

Sweat streamed down Jiang Wan's cheeks, soaking a few strands of hair before finally dripping onto her camouflage uniform.

Lin Mu underestimated Jiang Wan's strength; her sweat barely touched the ground.

"Hang in there! Ten minutes left!"

The instructor's shout interrupted Jiang Wan's inquisitive thoughts.

She looked straight ahead again and slightly raised her chin.

"Let's talk about it during our break."

Outside the fence, following Lin Mu's instructions, Lin Qian finally spotted Jiang Wan on the south track.

"Brother! There it is! The whitest and brightest one!"

Lin Qian excitedly shook Lin Mu's arm and pointed in the direction where Jiang Wan was.

"Holy crap?! Wanza is glowing!"

Following the direction Lin Qian pointed, Jiang Wan stood out among the group of people.

Lin Mu clicked his tongue.

"She's definitely the woman I've set my sights on!"

"Tch, shameless!"

Lin Qian curled her lip in disdain, opened her umbrella, and moved to the side.

"Hmm? Lin Mu?"

Just as Lin Mu was engrossed in watching, a voice suddenly called out to him.

"Holy crap? Old Lu? What a coincidence?!"

Lin Mu turned his head and saw Lu Chengzhou standing not far behind him, holding a bunch of folders.

"Yes, what a coincidence! I was just on my way to the student council to deliver some documents, and I didn't expect to run into you here. And who is this?"

Lu Chengzhou walked over, wiped his sweat, and looked at Lin Qian, who was half-hidden behind Lin Mu.

"My sister, I forgot to introduce her last time."

Lin Mu pulled Lin Qian out from behind him.

"Bring her here for a look around. She'll be coming to Linda next year, so she'll be your junior."

"Hehe, hello senior, my name is Lin Qian."

Seeing that it was an acquaintance of her brother, Lin Qian smiled and waved.

"Hello, junior."

Lu Chengzhou nodded with a slight smile.

"By the way, Lao Lu, when does it end inside?"

Lin Mu pointed to the new students on the playground.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhou frowned and thought for a moment.

"It seems like we were dismissed at 5:30 pm, but we only had about an hour to eat. After eating, we had to go back to the dormitory to tidy up our belongings and sing military songs, so time was very tight."

Lu Chengzhou finished speaking and joked with a smile.

"Looking for a girlfriend?"

"Haha, you noticed that? Old Lu has sharp eyes!"

Lin Mu was overjoyed and patted Lu Chengzhou on the shoulder with a big laugh.

Lu Chengzhou also gave a couple of apologetic laughs.

"Lin Mu, you don't know yet, do you? Your girlfriend is already quite famous at Lin University."

Lu Chengzhou took out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lin Mu.

"How so?"

Lin Mu took the cigarette and lit it.

"The story about us supporting the event yesterday has spread throughout the school. After a night of discussion, many students are talking about it today."

Lin Mu exhaled a smoke ring and exclaimed how interesting it was. He then looked at Lu Chengzhou.

"What are we discussing? My heroic performance yesterday? Or whether any pretty upperclassmen would like my contact information?"

Lu Chengzhou smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know about the pretty senior, but quite a few boys have definitely asked about you."

"Am I so charming that I appeal to both men and women?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu rubbed his chin and looked at Lin Qian.

"Hey sis, is your brother handsome?"

"Pah! Narcissist."

Lin Qian rolled her eyes at him disdainfully.

"hey-hey."

"Someone uploaded your girlfriend's photo to the campus forum. Those guys said you're not good enough for such a pretty girl, that a beautiful flower has been wasted on cow dung, and they even joked that they'd beat you up offline."

Lu Chengzhou patted Lin Mu's shoulder silently.

"This is only one night. In a few days, some radicals might actually do it. Lin Mu, good luck."

"Ha ha."

However, Lin Mu was not afraid after hearing this; instead, he proudly puffed out his chest.

"Let them be so jealous! If they find out I'm just a lousy college graduate, they'll probably want to strangle me, right? Hahaha."

"Beep—!"

Just as Lin Mu was feeling smug, a whistle suddenly rang out on the playground.

"Disband!"

At the instructor's command, the square formation that had been standing straight instantly collapsed.

"It's 4:30. You guys chat, I need to hurry and deliver the documents."

Lu Chengzhou quickly said hello and then ran away with the documents in his arms.

Watching Lu Chengzhou leave, Lin Qian pointed to the playground and jumped up and down happily.

"Brother, Sister Wan'er is here!"

Lin Mu turned around and saw four figures walking towards him.

"My God, the weather in Lin'an is unbearable! The sun is terrifyingly strong, and there's not a breath of wind. Standing at attention makes me sweat profusely, it's so annoying. If it stays in this sun for a few more days, I'll be roasted to death."

Before the person even arrived, Lin Mu and Lin Qian heard a loud voice complaining.

"Xiaoqian!"

"Sister Wan'er! Sister Luming!"

Lin Qian threw down her umbrella, jogged to the fence, and took Jiang Wan and Jiang Luming's hands.

"Sister Wan'er, I'm going to repeat a year of high school! Remember to come home to see me on Saturdays and Sundays while I'm at your place!"

Seeing Lin Qian pleading with her cheeks puffed out, Jiang Wan felt a warmth spread through her heart.

"Okay, I'll definitely go back every week after military training!"

"Wow, this little girl is so cute!"

Fang Leyao looked at Lin Qian and kept fanning herself with her hat.

"Xiaoqian, this is Fang Leyao, and this is Su Mo. They are my roommates and good friends. Leyao, Momo, this is Xiaoqian, whom I mentioned to you before."

"Hello, Sister Fang. Hello, Sister Su."

Lin Qian greeted him sweetly.

"Hello, Xiaoxi."

"I really like this girl."

"Hey, hey, hey, there's someone else here!"

Lin Mu was furious when he saw that the others had no intention of paying attention to him.

"Wanza, please introduce yourself."

Everyone turned to look at Lin Mu, who was jumping up and down. Jiang Wan pursed her lips and introduced Lin Mu to everyone.

"His name is Lin Mu."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, there was still no follow-up.

Lin Mu blinked.

"and then?"

Then none of them paid any attention to them.

Who are you?

Finally, Fang Leyao broke the silence by speaking first.

"I am Lin Mu!"

Who is Lin Mu?

"Lin Mu is Lin Mu!"

"Lin Mu again..."

"Stop! I'm fucking speechless!"

Lin Mu pursed his lips speechlessly; he could tell that none of them wanted to talk to him.

Lin Mu went up to the steps and sat down, quietly watching the others talk.

Without Lin Mu, the group quickly resumed their cheerful conversation.

"Beep—!"

A few minutes later, another piercing whistle rang out. Jiang Wan and the other three hurriedly said goodbye and ran back quickly, leaving Lin Qian waving goodbye with a face full of reluctance.

"Hey sis, I have a question for you."

After the others returned, Lin Mu came to Lin Qian's side with a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian playfully switched to Sichuan and Chongqing dialect.

Lin Mu didn't mind. He looked at Lin Qian and asked her sincerely.

"Are you a succubus?"
