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

"A succubus? So it means someone with great charm?"

Lin Qian blinked in confusion.

It's normal that Lin Qian didn't know the term "succubus" back in 09, as the term hadn't become popular yet.

"More or less."

Lin Mu waved his hand casually.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian proudly raised her chin.

"Hmph! Definitely! Brother, you'll have to learn a lot from me!"

"Ha, trying to learn how to be a lackey like you? I can't be bothered with you."

Seeing Lin Qian's smug look, Lin Mu was too lazy to argue anymore.

Lin Mu glanced at the time; there were still several tens of minutes until 5:30.

"Stop showing off, come with me to take care of some serious business."

Lin Mu took Lin Qian to visit the cultural square and several stalls downstairs in the dormitory buildings, inquired about the sales of campus cards today, and introduced Lin Qian to the "Eight Immortals".

After hearing several pieces of good news, his mood improved considerably.

Seeing that it was almost 5:30, Lin Mu borrowed the campus card from Zi Han, the only female among the "Eight Immortals" and "Han Zhongli", and then took Lin Qian straight to the main cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, Lin Mu acted like a nouveau riche who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. With a wave of his hand, he ordered a table full of food, including braised pork chops, braised chicken legs, and spicy diced chicken... He even thoughtfully ordered a few cold drinks.

"Brother, you ordered so much, are we going to finish it all?"

Lin Qian looked at the table full of delicious-looking food and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Don't worry, Wanza and the others just finished military training, they must be starving."

Lin Mu put down his chopsticks and pointed to the cafeteria door.

"It's almost time. Go and pick up your sister Wan'er and the others. Remember, just say you're treating them."

"You just know how to order me around."

Lin Qian pouted angrily again, but despite her complaints, she still obediently ran towards the door.

A few minutes later, led by Lin Qian, Jiang Wan and her three roommates walked into the cafeteria together.

Lin Qian said she would treat them to a meal, and the group felt embarrassed to refuse, so they could only follow Lin Qian to where Lin Mu was.

Jiang Wan sat down first. Between her and Lin Mu was Lin Qian, and opposite them sat Jiang Luming, Fang Leyao, and Su Mo.

After everyone was seated, Lin Mu smiled and looked at them.

Hello everyone.

Jiang Wan nodded slightly.

"Hello."

Seeing that Jiang Wan had greeted Lin Mu, Jiang Luming, Fang Leyao, and Su Mo followed suit and waved to Lin Mu.

"Hello, my name is Jiang... my name is Jiang Caiwei."

"Hello, my name is Fang Leyao."

"Hello, my name is Su Mo."

Seeing the polite attitude of the group, Lin Mu was speechless.

"Everyone, don't be so cold! Wanza and I are very close. Just be as you usually are now, don't stand on ceremony with me."

Upon hearing this, the three looked at each other, and finally all looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan glanced at Lin Mu silently without saying a word.

"Wanza, Wanza, what did I do to offend you? Can we talk about it when we get back? Give me some face and don't embarrass me."

Seeing this, Lin Mu secretly whispered something to Jiang Wan behind Lin Qian's back.

"..."

However, since Lin Qian was between the two of them, and Lin Mu didn't really intend to keep it from others hearing, his behavior seemed quite funny to others.

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, the three people opposite him immediately lowered their heads, pretending to be very busy.

But Jiang Wan remained unmoved.

"Damn, I give up."

Finally, Lin Mu decided not to make a fool of himself, picked up a bowl of rice, and muttered as he walked towards another table.

Jiang Wan's tense breathing finally relaxed after Lin Mu left.

"Wan'er..."

Jiang Luming looked at Jiang Wan with concern.

"Sister Wan'er, did my brother bully you again? Tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

Lin Qian angrily clenched her fist, as if she was about to punch Lin Mu.

No.

Jiang Wan smiled and took Lin Qian's hand.

"Why is that?"

Lin Qian looked completely puzzled, her little face full of question marks.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, Fang Leyao, unable to contain her temper, slammed her hand on the table.

"What else could it be! Today, everyone in school is gossiping about Wan'er having a boyfriend. Some people are even saying they're going to teach that boy a lesson. Wan'er is afraid that Lin Mu will really get hurt and beaten up, so she's pretending that she doesn't have any relationship with him."

"I didn't want others to be implicated because of me. I did have the idea of ​​using him as a shield, but I never expected that he would be in danger."

Jiang Wan gently shook her head.

"In my opinion, Wan'er is too soft-hearted and too kind-hearted."

Su Mo silently tugged at Fang Leyao's sleeve, and Fang Leyao finally shut up.

Lin Qian blinked, then silently lowered her head.

However, being a social butterfly, Lin Qian quickly raised her head with a smile.

"By the way, where is Sister Su from? Sister Fang is from Sichuan and Chongqing, I can tell just by hearing that. Sister Luming is from Shanghai, I know that too. Only Sister Su is someone I don't know."

Lin Qian looked at the quiet Su Mo and asked curiously.

Jiang Luming slapped his forehead.

"I'd completely forgotten, Xiaoqian is from Suzhou, and so is Momo. You're from the same hometown!"

"Wow! Really?! Which district is Sister Su from?"

Su Mo was taken aback upon hearing this, then his eyes flashed.

"I'm from Canglang District. Where's Xiaoqian?"

"My home is in Pingjiang District, it's very close!"

When fellow townsfolk meet, their eyes well up with tears. Both being girls from Suzhou, they chatted enthusiastically about everything from local snacks to the scenery of their hometown.

Su Mo was not usually talkative, but he was infected by Lin Qian's enthusiasm and became much more talkative.

Jiang Luming and Fang Leyao would occasionally chime in, while Jiang Wan listened with a smile.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu watched the group of people "chatting happily" from a distance, and angrily took a bite of rice.

"Women are such strange creatures!"

Twenty minutes later, the group finished their meal, said goodbye to Lin Qian, and left.

As soon as the others left, Lin Mu jogged over to Lin Qian's side.

"Sis, do you know why Wanza is ignoring me? I'm so fed up, I didn't do anything to her!"

Lin Mu shrugged speechlessly.

Seeing Lin Mu's nonchalant attitude, Lin Qian narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.

"elder brother."

"What are you doing?"

Lin Mu looked at Lin Qian and casually put his hand, which he had just used to wipe his mouth, on her shoulder.

"Speak quickly."

"How could you possibly be worthy of Sister Wan'er?"

Lin Qian sighed and shook her head.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Lin Mu sensed that Lin Qian knew something and shook her anxiously.

Afterwards, Lin Qian briefly told Lin Mu what she had just heard.

"Sister Wan'er is ignoring you so that you won't get involved."

After listening to Lin Qian's words, Lin Mu fell silent.

He looked in the direction Jiang Wan and the others had left, and quietly exhaled.

"Lin Qian".

"Um?"

Lin Mu subconsciously reached for a cigarette, but remembering that this was the cafeteria, he only touched the cigarette pack in the end.

"Do you think Wanza would say yes if I confessed my feelings to her in front of the whole school?"
