Chapter 561: 562, I know you’re low-key (second update)

The two bodyguards immediately quickened their pace.

By now, five or six bodyguards carrying various items had entered, redecorating the room.

Chu Jin and Yin Wu walked side by side on the campus.

Yin Wu felt that, along the way, countless male students had turned their heads to look at them, yet not a single one dared to approach and strike up a conversation.

This was exactly in line with the line from the poem that was mentioned by Love Lotus.

Admirable from a distance, but not to be treated lightly or playfully.

"Jin, you’re a local from Capital City, right?" The two strolled on Capital University’s sports field as Yin Wu asked while walking.

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes..." Before she could finish her sentence, her form shifted slightly, and with a graceful leap, she caught the basketball in mid-air that was about to smash onto Yin Wu’s head. After bouncing it on the ground, she jumped beautifully and shot!

Her black hair traced a perfect arc through the air.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the edge of the basket squarely!

All around were the screams of both men and women.

A basketball game was in progress here, put on by the junior year seniors, and it was surrounded by many infatuated younger students and upperclasswomen.

At this moment, seeing a girl with such a handsome shooting posture, the scene exploded even more.

The basketball-playing seniors were also stunned.

Basketballs hitting innocent passersby happened often, but a passerby making a domineering shot like this was a first.

Plus, the person in question was a girl.

"Be more careful when you play basketball in the future; don’t hit people," Chu Jin dropped this piece of advice and pulled Yin Wu towards another direction.

The basketball-playing seniors looked at her, still not quite recovering their senses for quite some time.

Yin Wu was even more stunned, lost in Chu Jin’s domineering display and unable to extricate herself.

"Jin, you are so amazing."

Chu Jin looked mysteriously at Yin Wu and spoke softly, "Do you know what people on the street call me?"

"Huh?" Yin Wu blinked, "What do they call you?"

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Everyone calls me Brother Jin! Tell me, am I amazing?" With that, she seemed less cold and more playful, vivacious, more like an eighteen-year-old girl.

Yin Wu was amused by her, "Haha, amazing, amazing." Yin Wu thought she was joking and didn’t take her words seriously.

The two leisurely strolled around the campus, and when they returned to their dorm, they almost thought they had entered the wrong room.

Crystal chandeliers, leather sofas, vanity tables, digital TVs, luxurious wool carpets, glittering gold wallpaper, and what caught the eye most, were the two pink Princess beds that now took the place of the two iron beds against the other wall.

Chu Jin and Yin Wu both stepped back in unison, looking at the dorm room number on the door.

1108, yes, this was their dorm, no mistake!

But since when had their dorm turned into a luxury presidential suite?

At that moment, from the side of the Princess beds, a short-haired girl walked out, smiling warmly at the two, "You two must be Chu Jin and Yin Wu, right? You weren’t here just now; everything here was done by Miss Qiao’s orders. I’m telling you, Miss Qiao’s family is really rich!"

Speaking of which, she continued, "Look at this carpet, sofa, they all were brought here by Miss Qiao, and these beds, I heard they are limited edition too! Since you two weren’t here just now, Miss Qiao temporarily didn’t have anyone move your bedding. If you two like these Princess beds as well, just mention it to Miss Qiao, and she’ll help you change them!"

In the end, the short-haired girl sighed, "Miss Qiao is really generous! I’m so fortunate to be in the same dorm as Miss Qiao in this lifetime." Her eyes shone brightly, as if she wished she could immediately kneel down to thank the heavens for letting her meet such a wealthy roommate!

Right at that moment, Qiao Muyan walked out from the bathroom in high heels, step by step, chin held high, waiting for Chu Jin and Yin Wu to ask her for a favor.

Being begged felt absolutely wonderful.

What’s the use of being beautiful if you still have to beg for help!

The short-haired girl continued, "Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Liu Meng Haoran. My dad’s last name is Liu, and my mom’s is Meng. They wanted me to grow up to be a person full of knowledge and great ambitions, like the poet Meng Haoran, so that’s why I have this name. It’s nice to meet you all, you can just call me Haoran."

It was clear that Liu Meng Haoran was also quite talkative and not very complex-minded.

Chu Jin and Yin Wu shook hands with her.

"Chu Jin, you’re so beautiful. Do you take after your mom or your dad more?" Liu Meng Haoran continued, "When I first met Miss Qiao, I thought she was the prettiest one in our dorm, but who knew there would be a master among masters! You’re this beautiful even without makeup; this is my first time seeing that!"

Those words were quite cutting.

They sounded extremely jarring to Qiao Muyan’s ears.

It was uncertain whether Liu Meng Haoran was genuinely clueless or pretending to be.

Before Chu Jin could speak, Liu Meng Haoran went on, "Have you been to ’stick country’? How much did your nose cost? Your skin is so good, did you do that photorejuvenation thing they talk about on TV?"

Qiao Muyan finally broke into a smile.

Chu Jin must have had cosmetic surgery! Otherwise, how could she look like that?

With a slight smile, Chu Jin responded indifferently with four words, "Thanks for the compliment."

Usually, people say others have had plastic surgery because they’re jealous of their good looks, so Chu Jin wasn’t upset. Instead, she took Liu Meng Haoran’s doubts as a confirmation. After all, if she were ugly, who would question whether she’d had cosmetic surgery?

And those four words were, perhaps, the best comeback, weren’t they?

Liu Meng Haoran never expected Chu Jin to reply with such a statement—it was like punching a sponge! Not only did she not gain anything good, but she was also pricked by the hidden needle inside the sponge.

Her initial plan was to put Chu Jin down to curry favor with Qiao Muyan, but what a blunder it had been!

Liu Meng Haoran laughed dryly, "Chu Jin, you’re quite the joker." As she finished speaking, she added, "Do you two also want the same princess bed? If you do, while Miss Qiao is still here, hurry up and tell her; she’s about to leave for an aristocratic banquet."

Qiao Muyan stood tall behind her, the corners of her mouth curling up in a smug smile, she had even prepared her lines for how to refuse and humiliate the two later.

Chu Jin walked over to her own bed and spoke lightly, "No need, my bed is fine as it is."

Yin Wu also walked over to get herself a cup of water, speaking rather politely, "Thank you for your offer, Miss Qiao, but we country folks are used to sleeping on wooden plank beds, so I won’t be changing."

Spending time with Chu Jin had gradually helped her regain some self-confidence.

At those words, Liu Meng Haoran screamed as if she’d heard some unbelievable news, "Ah! You’re really from the countryside?" She stared at Yin Wu as if she were looking at an alien.

Yin Wu took a sip of water and looked down, "Yes, what about it?"

Liu Meng Haoran quickly grabbed the takeout box from the table and pushed it toward Yin Wu, "I’ve heard that you country folks are very pitiful, hardly getting enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, and you don’t bathe for weeks. Plus, you live in thatched cottages! This is some leftover food I didn’t finish eating, stir-fried sweet potato leaves. Sweet potato leaves can boost immunity, stop bleeding, reduce sugar, and detox. You definitely don’t have them in the countryside!"

Yin Wu didn’t reach out to take the lunch box but glanced at it and inquired, "You mean these sweet potato leaves?"

Liu Meng Haoran nodded eagerly, "Yes, that’s right! Take it. We’re all in the same dorm, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. These sweet potato leaves are quite expensive! They cost tens of dollars per serving!"

A country person is just a country person; she must be so moved that she’s about to cry, right? Much easier to handle than Chu Jin!

People like her only deserved to eat what was left over.

Right now, she had to find ways to make Qiao Muyan happy. Qiao Muyan was a real lady from a wealthy family. If she could connect with her, she would gain a lot of benefits. Maybe, in a good mood, Qiao Muyan would take her to the aristocratic banquet, and then she could meet a diamond bachelor.

Then, she wouldn’t have to worry about her next life.

"Do you think these sweet potato leaves are tasty, nutritious, and delicious?" Yin Wu suddenly looked up at Liu Meng Haoran.

Liu Meng Haoran nodded, "Of course sweet potato leaves are delicious! You probably don’t have them in the countryside, but we have them with every meal at home!"

Yin Wu barely suppressed a smile, "That’s what the pigs in our area think, too."

Liu Meng Haoran certainly didn’t expect her to come out with a line like that.

Before Liu Meng Haoran could react, Yin Wu added, "Yes, that’s right! In our area, sweet potato leaves are used to feed pigs!"

Sweet potato leaves are just the ordinary leaves of sweet potatoes.

In the countryside, nobody eats them.

Yet Liu Meng Haoran treated them like a treasure and even tried to hoodwink me with sweet potato leaves! What a joke.

Originally, Yin Wu didn’t want to refute it, but she couldn’t stand it, especially someone blackening the countryside like that!

As soon as her words fell, both Chu Jin and Qiao Muyan laughed.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly; Yin Wu was indeed impressive.

Qiao Muyan was laughing at Liu Meng Haoran’s low IQ, no wonder he could be used by her as a pawn!

Liu Meng Haoran’s face turned an iron blue, and it took him a long while to react, contorting his face as he said, "Yin Wu, you really have a way with jokes." It seemed he had underestimated these two!

One more troublesome than the other!

Yin Wu slightly lifted her lips, saying no more.

Qiao Muyan picked up a set of cosmetics from the dressing table and handed it to Liu Meng Haoran, speaking softly, "Haoran, this is the makeup I brought back from my trip to France. It’s for you."

"Wow!" Liu Meng Haoran exclaimed in surprise, "I recognize this brand, it’s expensive, right? Miss Qiao, are you really giving this to me?"

A smug arc formed on Qiao Muyan’s lips, "It’s alright, just a few tens of thousands of yuan. I’m giving it to you; we still have a bunch of these cosmetics at home."

She spoke casually, while Liu Meng Haoran listened with a shocked face!

What did a few tens of thousands mean?

It could cover his entire year’s tuition!

The rich are really different! He had never used such good skincare products before!

"Thank you, Miss Qiao!" Liu Meng Haoran, hugging the skincare products, repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Qiao Muyan waved her hand nonchalantly, "You’re welcome. After all, we are roommates. By the way, we also have perfume brought back from R Country; I’ll bring you some next time."

Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes gleamed, "Miss Qiao, you’re really generous!"

Qiao Muyan’s words were deliberately spoken for Chu Jin and Yin Wu to hear.

After all, both of them came from such lowly origins, they certainly hadn’t seen anything so fine before, and right now they must be so jealous that their hearts are sour, right?

Probably, they have never seen skincare products costing tens of thousands of yuan in their life!

Originally, they would have had a share of these good things! But who made them oppose her?

Now their intestines must be green with regret!

Thinking of this, Qiao Muyan felt extremely elated!

"Don’t mention it," Qiao Muyan walked over to Liu Meng Haoran with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "Just listen to me from now on, and the benefits won’t just be these. Maybe, I’ll even take you to experience a noble banquet."

"You can count on me, Miss Qiao," Liu Meng Haoran immediately patted his chest and said, "If you tell me to go east, I will not go west!" Just the thought of a noble banquet had Liu Meng Haoran brimming with excitement, as if a diamond bachelor was already beckoning to him.

Qiao Muyan nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, I won’t talk to you any longer, I have to attend a noble banquet. See you tomorrow." With that, her gaze swept over Chu Jin imperceptibly before she turned and left.

Liu Meng Haoran obsequiously walked her down to the dormitory building.

When he returned to the dormitory, Liu Meng Haoran entered the bathroom hugging that pile of skincare products worth tens of thousands of yuan, the thought of which thrilled him.

Liu Meng Haoran hummed a tune all the way.

Chu Jin was sitting in front of the computer, typing away.

Yin Wu was wearing glasses, reading a famous foreign novel.

By evening, Yin Wu took off his glasses, walked behind Chu Jin, and found her typing incredibly fast. Her jade-like fingertips almost left a blur on the keyboard, with the rapid tapping being the only sound around.

"My God, you type so fast," Yin Wu couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s okay, maybe because I like playing games usually," Chu Jin replied with a faint smile.

"Let’s go have dinner together," suggested Yin Wu.

Hearing this, Chu Jin glanced at the time on the right side of her computer screen. It was already 6 PM. Just as she was about to say something to Yin Wu, her phone rang.

Chu Jin answered the call with a gentle look in her eyes, "Okay, I’ll come down right away." Her voice even softened unconsciously, a stark contrast from her usual cool demeanor, as if she were a completely different person.

Yin Wu couldn’t help but wonder who the caller was.

"Are we still going to eat together?" Yin Wu asked.

"Let’s just head downstairs together. My boyfriend is coming to pick me up, I won’t be returning to the dorm tonight." Tomorrow was when military training would start, so it was possible not to stay at school tonight.

Surprised, Yin Wu’s mouth fell open, "Ah, you have a boyfriend?" He was curious, thinking about what kind of guy could be good enough for someone like Chu Jin.

Moreover, Chu Jin didn’t seem like the type who would fall into an early romance.

This was truly unbelievable.

Chu Jin nodded, "Yeah."

Liu Meng Haoran, who was applying a face mask, quietly noted this sensational news, planning to report it to Qiao Muyan at any moment.

Chu Jin and Yin Wu walked downstairs side by side. Yin Wu, having learned about Chu Jin’s boyfriend, was surprised but did not ask further.

When they reached the fork in the road, Chu Jin said goodbye to Yin Wu, "That’s my boyfriend’s car over there. I’m leaving first, goodbye."

"Goodbye," Yin Wu waved to her.

Although she had known Chu Jin for less than a day, it felt like she had known her for many years.

From Yin Wu’s line of sight, a silver-grey car could be seen with the window half-open, and a sharp-faced profile could just about be made out. The man seemed to have a cigarette between his thin lips, the smoke blurring his features.

One glance was enough to know he was no ordinary man.

He was someone who could match Chu Jin.

Yin Wu retracted her gaze and quickened her pace towards the cafeteria.

Mo Zhixuan, with an indifferent expression, sat in the car letting the smoke roll out from his lips. He appeared unspeakably sexy as he watched the young girl get closer; hurrying to extinguish the cigarette and stepping out to open the car door for her.

Chu Jin nodded approvingly, "Well done, a student worthy of teaching."

Mo Zhixuan’s lips slightly curled, and the deep blackness of his eyes was unfathomable, impossible to see to the bottom.

Chu Jin got into the car, somewhat surprised, "How come you changed cars today?" Mr. Mo actually drove a very ordinary Volkswagen today! That was out of character for his extravagant self.

As Mo Zhixuan started the engine and drove away, he replied, "I know you like to keep a low profile."

If he had brought the limited edition Bugatti Veyron today, she definitely wouldn’t let him come pick her up again next time! He had gotten to know Chu Jin’s preferences well over this period.

Never in his life did he think he would go out of his way to please a girl!

If this had been in the past, he would’ve scorned such behavior!

With a light laugh, Chu Jin said, "The young man is quick to understand and has promise!"

"Is there a reward then?" Mo Zhixuan turned his head, his voice still deep and cold as usual.

Chu Jin reached out to pat his handsome face, "A slap as a reward, want it?"

But Mo Zhixuan deftly caught her hand instead and kissed it, speaking in a husky voice, "Not bad at all."
