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

Night falls and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Inside the "Zui Jiangnan" private restaurant outside the Linyi University campus, a steaming hot meal was taking place in an elegantly decorated private room.

Although Fang Leyao had previously threatened to "eat Lin Mu out of house and home" in the dormitory, when it came time to order food, the girls who had just entered university still hesitated to make a purchase when they saw the prices of the dishes on the menu, which were often three or four hundred yuan.

"Order now, why aren't you ordering?"

Lin Mu leaned back in his chair casually, reached out and pressed the service bell to call a waiter in.

"In addition to what these ladies just ordered, let's add a signature squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, a serving of crab meat lion's head meatballs, a bowl of premium Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and oh right, two pitchers of freshly squeezed watermelon juice, made from the sweetest watermelon."

Lin Mu recited a list of dishes and then handed the menu to the waiter.

That's all for now, we'll add more if needed.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Seeing Lin Mu order all the restaurant's signature dishes without even blinking, Fang Leyao and Su Mo exchanged a glance.

"Senior Lin, isn't this... a bit too much?"

Fang Leyao swallowed hard.

"What's the expense? Today's meal is an 'apology feast.' As long as everyone enjoys the meal and Wanza is satisfied, what's a little money?"

Lin Mu smiled and looked at Jiang Wan sitting opposite him.

Jiang Wan held a glass of warm water and gave him a cold glare.

"Don't call me that. Who gave you the right to call me Wanza?"

Although she remained defiant, Jiang Wan was actually a little uneasy.

Something unusual must be going on!

Soon, a variety of delicious and visually appealing dishes were served.

Under Lin Qian's leadership as the "atmosphere leader," the atmosphere in the private room quickly became lively.

The girls ate and chatted, sharing embarrassing stories from their military training, and bursting into laughter from time to time.

Lin Mu sat quietly to the side, occasionally picking up a couple of bites of food with his chopsticks.

After three rounds of drinks and five rounds of dishes, the drinks were served.

Just as Le Yao was rubbing her stomach and exclaiming, "I'm so full!", Lin Mu finally put down the lighter in his hand.

"clatter."

With a soft sound, the private room fell silent as if by unspoken agreement.

Lin Mu pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then looked past Jiang Wan and landed on Jiang Luming, who was engrossed in eating watermelon.

"Speaking of which, when we first entered university, it was the perfect time to fall in love."

Lin Mu's lips curled up.

"I wonder if any of you female students have met any guys you like at school?"

"Where would I find the time? Military training is exhausting enough!"

Fang Leyao waved her hand dismissively.

"Besides, the boys at Linda University all look too weak and frail; they're not my type."

"I...I never thought of that either..."

Su Mo blushed and lowered her head.

"Yeah?"

Lin Mu shifted his gaze to Jiang Wan, his smile growing even brighter.

"I remember Wanza said that she had a suitor named 'Luming,' who was not only gentle and considerate, but also very good at taking care of people."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire private room froze.

"Thud!"

The watermelon in Jiang Luming's hand fell directly into the plate. She stared wide-eyed in horror and stammered.

"I...I didn't...I didn't..."

At that moment, Jiang Wan felt a buzzing sound in her head.

She took every precaution, and even went so far as to disguise Jiang Luming as "Jiang Caiwei" to prevent the deception from being exposed.

But she never expected that Lin Mu already knew Jiang Luming's true identity.

"Lin Mu! Shut up! Lu Ming isn't Lu Ming!"

Jiang Wan was so anxious that she stood up abruptly.

"Hey? Wanza, what's the rush? You can't even speak properly, what do you mean by 'the deer's cry isn't the deer's cry'?"

Lin Mu leaned back in his chair and spread his hands with an "innocent" expression.

"I was just concerned about your love life, but it seems this gentle and considerate 'Deer Cry' is actually a girl!"

Lin Mu clicked his tongue twice and shook his head, feigning surprise.

"Wanza, to reject me, you actually used your own roommate and even forced her to change her personality? If this gets out, people will think that the campus belle of Jiang University has some kind of special fetish."

"you……!"

Jiang Wan's hand was trembling as she pointed at Lin Mu.

"And what's even more coincidental is yet to come."

Lin Mu leaned forward slightly, looking at Jiang Luming, who was almost hiding under the table.

"Junior Lu Ming, if I'm not mistaken, your QQ nickname is 'The Wolf Hunting in the Field', isn't it?"

"I……"

Jiang Luming suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How...how did you know?!"

"I not only know your online name, but I also know that you've been in an online relationship with a senior student named 'Calm and Serene' for the past two weeks."

Lin Mu's smile grew even brighter.

"Every night after military training, you would send him a message right on time, complaining about how tough things were for you, right?"

"ah!!"

Jiang Luming covered his face with both hands and let out a mournful cry.

Fang Leyao and Su Mo were completely stunned, their gazes shifting back and forth between Lin Mu, Jiang Wan, and Jiang Luming.

"What...what exactly is going on?! How do you know?"

"Haha, it's actually very simple."

Lin Mu stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at the two girls.

"Because that 'calm and collected' senior who always asked about your well-being, gave you advice, and even carried two cases of mineral water upstairs for you is my best buddy."

Lin Mu smiled smugly.

"And all those tricks he taught you to use against me, I taught them to him step by step! How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

"..."

The private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone stood there dumbfounded.

Jiang Luming stared blankly at Lin Mu, tears welling up in his eyes.

She kept replaying in her mind how, over the past two weeks, she had been frantically complaining to that "gentle senior" about how Lin Mu was a "pervert and a scoundrel."

So, the enemy's supreme commander had been acting as a military advisor to his own side all along?!

Jiang Wan, meanwhile, had already sat back down in her chair.

She covered her face with her hands, wishing she could dig a tunnel in the restaurant floor and bury herself alive.

So embarrassing.

That's so embarrassing!

Not only was her lie about using her roommate as a shield exposed in public, but even her most trusted best friend was used as a pawn and completely infiltrated.

This "apology banquet" was a ceremony meticulously planned by Lin Mu from the very beginning.

"Now, fellow junior students, do you have any questions?"

Lin Mu admired his "masterpiece" with satisfaction, then pulled out a chair and walked over to Jiang Wan with a smile.

He bent down, leaned close to Jiang Wan's flushed ear, and whispered softly.

"Wanza, now what excuse do you have left for avoiding me?"
