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

"But now is not the time. You're still too green. Grow up for another two years."

Lin Mu was afraid of being kicked in the face, so he quickly took off her shoes.

"Hmph~"

As her shoes came off, Jiang Wan let out a weak, delicate moan.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Mu, with a strange expression, moved Jiang Wan's legs onto the bed.

"It's just taking off my shoes; anyone who didn't know better would think I did something to you."

Jiang Wan lay on the bed, her black hair partially obscuring her face, and her pink lips were stained with blood.

Lin Mu stood by the bed, and after calming down, he frowned and began to think.

"Last time I blacked out too, which is why I ended up in her bed. This time I'm not drunk..."

Lin Mu began pacing back and forth beside Jiang Wan's bed.

"But if I leave now, Xiao Pa Cai might not remember what happened tonight, and then I'd have worked for nothing, right? I can't exactly come back later to claim credit, can I?"

"She might not admit it."

After thinking for several seconds, Lin Mu's eyes lit up.

"Got it."

He first pulled over the thin blanket next to him and gently covered Jiang Wan with it.

Then, he ran downstairs, boiled a kettle of warm water, found a towel, soaked it, wrung it out, and placed the towel on Jiang Wan's forehead.

Finally, he poured a glass of honey water and placed it on the bedside table.

Satisfied with the fabricated evidence of taking care of Jiang Wan, Lin Mu turned and went downstairs, lying down on the sofa in the living room.

I glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

He took out his phone and dialed his home number.

"Hey, Lin Mu, are you trying to get yourself killed?! Why aren't you back yet?"

I heard Zhou Yiyun's cursing on the other end of the phone, but there was more concern in her voice.

"Mom, I'm not going home tonight."

Lin Mu chuckled awkwardly and said, "A classmate of mine got drunk and had no one to take care of her. I was worried about leaving her alone, so I made do with the night on her sofa."

"Classmate? Who is it?"

"It's a pretty good 'buddy' I'm talking to, Mom. Don't worry, I'll definitely be back tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu pulled a thin blanket over her stomach.

Outside the window, the bright moon hangs high, and several cicadas are still chirping tirelessly.

Lin Mu still couldn't fall asleep after an unknown amount of time.

In the living room, Lin Mu stared at the ceiling, his deep eyes calm and undisturbed.

"Little cabbage, I'll let you off this time."

Lin Mu glanced at the second floor out of the corner of his eye.

"I hope to use today's incident to improve my image in her eyes. The more the better. In my past life, your parents wanted to kill me because they didn't like me! Even if your mom misunderstands us tomorrow, I won't lose out. There's no concrete evidence, so my first impression isn't too bad. From now on, I'll only be seen as improving in her eyes!"

"What an ambitious young man! I want to marry my daughter to you!"

Lin Mu smiled as he thought about it.

But as he laughed, his expression suddenly darkened, and some past events surfaced in his mind.

"I messed up before, but this time, I won't fail again."

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Jiang Wan.

"Hmm~"

On the large bed, Jiang Wan frowned.

She rubbed her temples and groggily opened her eyes.

"Am I...at home?"

Jiang Wan covered her head, trying hard to recall what had happened yesterday.

As Lin Mu expected, her memory was stuck on Lin Mu getting her drunk, and she had no recollection of what happened after she got drunk.

"Lin Mu, you bastard!"

Jiang Wan bit her lower lip and angrily pounded the blankets.

After mentally condemning Lin Mu a hundred times, she grabbed the honey water her "mother" had prepared from the bedside table and took a sip.

She got up, put on her slippers, and slowly walked out of the bedroom, intending to go downstairs to find something to eat.

However, when she arrived at the living room on the first floor, she was completely dumbfounded.

There was no one else at home, only a boy sprawled out on the sofa!

"Lin...Lin Mu?!"

Jiang Wan approached the sofa and could even hear the guy talking in his sleep.

"Jiang Wan, I want a daughter..."

"Wanza, you smell so good..."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Wanmei's eyes widened, and she quickly looked down at her own body.

After confirming that she hadn't been touched, she breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched her fists and walked towards the sofa.

"What the hell is this bastard talking about?!"

Why is he in my house?!

"What on earth happened last night?!"

Countless thoughts surged through Jiang Wan's mind.

She stared at her fist for a moment, then pursed her lips and shook her head.

Then, she jogged into the kitchen, and when she came out, she had a rolling pin in her hand.

"Buzzing—"

Just then, her cell phone rang.

I picked up my phone and saw the caller ID: Mom

Upon seeing the caller ID, Jiang Wan's breath hitched, and her heart raced.

No matter what happened last night, if her family finds out that she spent the night alone with a man after drinking, it will definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

She took a deep breath and, trying to appear calm, pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Wan, Mom just got back from your grandma's and is at the entrance of the community now."

The voice of Jiang Wan's mother, Song Muwan, came from the other end of the phone.

What would you like for breakfast? I'll bring it back for you.

"At the entrance of the residential complex?!"

Jiang Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Yeah, do you want some xiaolongbao?"

"Okay, okay, Mom, I'll eat whatever you buy. I'm going to wash up now!"

"beep!"

Jiang Wan hung up the phone in a panic, her palms sweating profusely.

She gritted her teeth, turned her head, and stared at Lin Mu, who was still fast asleep on the sofa.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Wan came to his side and hit him hard on the shoulder.

"Um?"

Lin Mu opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wan standing in front of him with a blank expression.

Good morning.

"Early morning my foot!"

Seeing Lin Mu's relaxed appearance, Jiang Wan angrily picked up the rolling pin.

"No matter why you're in my house, get out now!"

As Lin Mu gradually came to his senses, he realized what was happening and immediately became unhappy.

"You little brat, I took care of you all night, and you repay kindness with enmity first thing in the morning, huh?"

Jiang Wan lowered her voice, gritting her teeth as she pointed to the door: "Never mind what happened last night, you're leaving now!"

"Let me go?"

Hearing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm not leaving! I'd rather die than leave!"

Lin Mu leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms, and rolled around shamelessly.

"Jiang Wan, aren't you being unreasonable? If I hadn't carried you back last night, you'd still be lying in the karaoke bar! I may not have done anything special, but I certainly put in the effort, right?"

Lin Mu slammed his hand on the table with a self-righteous air.

"I'm not leaving. I want to wait for my aunt and uncle to come back so I can have a good chat with them about how hard I've worked!"

"If you hadn't forced me to drink, would I have gotten dizzy? And you're trying to take credit for it?! Aren't you afraid my parents will see you and misunderstand what's going on between us?!"

Jiang Wan was so angry that she was trembling. She never expected Lin Mu to be so shameless.

"If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. If I'm not afraid, why should you be? I don't care, I'm not leaving until your parents come back!"

Lin Mu lay back down, casually covering himself with the blanket, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Opportunities to build up goodwill are rare!

"You...get up now, leave immediately!"

Seeing that her mother was about to return, Jiang Wan became so anxious that she grabbed Lin Mu's arm and tried to drag him out.

But Lin Mu was like a stubborn plaster; Jiang Wan couldn't budge him at all.

"Click—"

Just as the two were at an impasse, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Oh no! My mom's in the yard!"

In a moment of desperation, Jiang Wan suddenly grabbed Lin Mu by the collar, gritting her teeth and threatening, "Come with me! Otherwise, I'll tell my mom you molested me!"

"Are you... serious?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu didn't say anything more and quickly stood up.

"Is there any room for negotiation? I didn't do anything this time!"

"Shut up! Come upstairs with me!"

Jiang Wan half-pushed and half-dragged Lin Mu upstairs, then pushed him into her bedroom.

"Bang!" "Click—"

As the bedroom door closed, the living room door opened.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Jiang Wan's forehead was already beaded with sweat.

She looked around, then finally opened the wardrobe door and shoved Lin Mu inside.

Lin Mu's vision went black for a moment, but when he saw what was in the closet, he exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, how come your closet is full of...?"
