Chapter 78: Chapter 78: A gentleman does not take the credit of others unless it is offered freely.

Men's dormitory building.During the two to three days of registration, anyone could come and go freely.

Many parents also came along to help with luggage and make the beds.

But the sight of Yao Mingyue appearing instantly made the male students on the floors both surprised and a little excited.

Such a beautiful girl showing up with a comforter was something they dared not even dream of.

The pessimists said, "Too bad, taking a comforter to the men's dorm usually means it's for her boyfriend."

The optimists speculated, "Maybe it's for her brother or something? Then my future brother-in-law or brother-in-law could be in this building!"

Some bold students even took the initiative to offer help, but Yao Mingyue outright ignored them.

5061… Eventually, she arrived at Xu Musen's dorm room door.

The guys in the surrounding rooms couldn't help but poke their heads out to see which lucky bastard had such a pretty girl bringing him a comforter.

Yao Mingyue reached out and gently knocked on the door.

"You're pretty fast, ah. I thought you were getting a water card…"

Zhou Hangyu came to open the door, a cigarette dangling from his lips, but the instant he saw Yao Mingyue, he froze.

Damn, she's a knockout!

Yao Mingyue dressed in light-colored attire, her skirt revealing two long, immaculately white legs that seemed to brighten the entire corridor of the men's dorm.

Especially her face, which was nothing short of perfection with willow-leaf shaped eyebrows, and phoenix eyes that naturally exuded an air of nobility.

Her nose was straight and high, her lips plump and rosy, her skin so fair it was flawless.

Hu Hai wasn't short on beauties, but the girl before them was definitely one of the most gorgeous.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Hangyu, upon noticing the frown that briefly crossed her face, instantly put out the cigarette he had just lit.

"Does Xu Musen live here?"

Yao Mingyue asked in a calm voice.

The dorm room wasn't exactly filthy but there was smoke, and what if Xu Musen breathed it in?

For a moment, she even thought about renting a place outside and living there with Xu Musen.

"You're looking for Xu Musen?"

The three guys in the room were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with Xu Musen?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend."

Yao Mingyue replied at an even pace.

Right, that's what Xu Musen said, they could be friends.

What's the problem with boys and girls being friends, briefly called boyfriend and girlfriend?

"Boyfriend and girlfriend..."

But to their ears, the words seemed a bit bitter to swallow.

Dammit, didn't that guy just say he wasn't interested in a girlfriend?

And now, right after dinner, his girlfriend came in person to deliver a comforter to the men's dorm.

Just before, they were still lecturing Xu Musen.

Li Rundong and Ma Yaxing, the two single dogs, felt like they took a ten-thousand-point spiritual blow.

Ignoring the hundred-thousand-dollar watch, now there was also such a beautiful girlfriend he wouldn't claim.

Such freakin' pretense!

"Xu Musen went to get a water card; he's not here right now."

"It's fine, I'm here to make his bed."

Yao Mingyue said, looking around the dormitory, "Where's his bed?"

"This, this..."

Zhou Hangyu made room, and Yao Mingyue stepped forward, climbed onto the bed, and began to tidy up the bedding.

The three guys stood to one side, looking at each other, then moved to the balcony. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was common to see male students helping female students with luggage or carrying boxes upstairs.

Normally, it would be the boys helping the girls make their beds or bringing them daily necessities.

But a girl braving the scorching sun to bring a comforter to a boy's dorm to make his bed? This was truly a first for them.

"Damn it, Xu Musen really knows how to play it cool, claiming to be single despite having such a beautiful girlfriend. What a jerk!"

"I told you, the more a guy refuses to talk about love, the shittier he is. Such a beauty and he's still not satisfied, hope he doesn't burst from overindulgence."

"Wuwuwu, I also want a girl to make my bed... Ma Yaxing, why's your face as red as a donkey's butt?"

"Before, I've never seen such a pretty girl, I'm nervous..."

...

Summer comforters aren't that complicated, and Yao Mingyue, a dummy at household chores, quickly made the bed.

She took a covert glance at the three secretly whispering on the balcony, a smile curling on her lips.

This was exactly the effect she wanted.

Afterward, her eyes twinkled, she took something from her pocket and pressed it under Xu Musen's pillow.

Then she purposefully lay on the bed, as if to leave her own scent on it.

It was like the way animals show dominance and claim territory.

She got off the bed and the three guys on the balcony looked over.

"Please take good care of Xu Musen and get along well in the future," she said with a smile.

"Of course, we're all brothers here."

They nodded, hearts filled with envy. Where would they find such a beautiful girlfriend who could handle household chores and knew how to talk!

Yao Mingyue turned and left.

The three men looked at Xu Musen's bed, which was neatly made, and smacked their lips.

...

At that moment, Xu Musen had just finished getting his water card and also made a campus card, as he would eventually need a separate number for work.

He headed back to the dorm room.

But as soon as he entered, Li Rundong and Zhou Hangyu descended on him.

"You scumbag! Just tell us, do you have a girlfriend or not?"

"Hiding such a small matter? You really don't consider us brothers!"

Xu Musen was bewildered, facing their envious, jealous, and resentful expressions, "What girlfriend? I just went out to get a water card, that's all."

"Still pretending! A pretty girl came all the way up here to make your bed, and you say she's not your girlfriend?"

Xu Musen's eyebrows twitched, and looking up, sure enough his previously bare bed was now neatly made.

The only two girls he knew now at Hu Hai University were...

An Nuannuan, who hadn't come to report today, and there's no way she could have made it up to the fifth floor.

So it must have been Yao Mingyue.

But could that little rich girl, who wouldn't even touch spring water with her ten fingers, actually make his bed for him?

"You really know how to put on a show, man. Where did you con this chick from? She's really pretty and has a great presence."

"Exactly, does your girlfriend have any pretty besties? A beauty's friends are all beauties, come on and introduce some to us guys."

The two guys were howling like ghosts and wolves.

Xu Musen, seeing their reactions, immediately guessed what Yao Mingyue was up to with her moves.

Her sudden high-profile appearance and voluntarily making his bed would naturally make others assume they were closely involved.

They might even take them for a couple.

If that were the case, even if other girls wanted to get close to Xu Musen, they might think he had a girlfriend and back off.

Yao Mingyue had asked him to confess to her before exactly for this reason.

Only now it seemed she had changed her strategy.

No sooner had Xu Musen rebooted his system than she immediately rolled out a major update.

He rubbed his brows, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.

"My relationship with her isn't like that, don't overthink it," he said.

"Still pretending? Who else would make a bed for someone if not their lover?"

"We're all brothers here, quit being so stubborn, tone down that player vibe."

"Believe it or not, that's up to you."

Xu Musen just shrugged.

What kind of world was this, where a guy carrying a girl's heavy luggage all the way to her dorm would be labeled a sucker,

but a girl comes over to make the bed and it's either, 'you're in a relationship' or 'you're a player'?

Men quiver with cold, when will they ever be able to stand up for themselves?

"Alright, the counselor said to head to the classroom for roll call at two o'clock, it's time to get our military training uniforms fitted."

The group started heading downstairs, making their way toward the academic building.

About thirty to forty people in the class.

It was the first time the new classmates were meeting, and already they were clearly grouping by dorm rooms.

Everyone was sizing each other up.

When Xu Musen entered the classroom, quite a few girls looked over at him.

His height at one meter eighty-two was definitely considered tall in the south, and he had a well-proportioned and upright build.

Moreover, Xu Musen walked with ease, lacking the reticence or excessive excitement typical of same-age peers entering university for the first time.

It made him appear confident and composed.

Plus, Xu Musen was quite handsome. In his previous life, although he mainly played the kept man, he would occasionally accompany Yao Mingyue to various high-end events.

In terms of demeanor, he was far ahead of his peers.

"Damn, walking with you steals all my thunder," Zhou Hangyu complained, feeling dissatisfied. In the past, he was the center of attention, but next to Xu Musen, especially since he was from the south, his own shorter stature became apparent.

Not being able to show off is so annoying!

Li Rundong patted his shoulder: "If you really like showing off that much, next life, just reincarnate as a briefs' crotch."

"Get lost, you little punk."

Xu Musen smiled slightly, also giving the girls in the class a quick glance.

After all, those who could get into Hu Hai University generally wouldn't be too shabby, and most of the girls took care to dress themselves up a bit.

At a glance, there weren't a few girls in the class who looked decent.

Of course, his tastes had been spoiled by the likes of Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan; it wasn't easy for ordinary people to catch his eye.

The students continued to arrive.

"Hey, the quality of this dorm room isn't bad, and there's a dark-skinned one too, looks quite striking," Zhou Hangyu suddenly whispered, motioning them to look at the door.

Four girls walked into the door.

Xu Musen looked up and was immediately surprised.

One of the girls, wearing a duckbill cap, clad in a plaid shirt and denim shorts, and sporting a wheat-colored skin, was particularly eye-catching.

Wasn't this the girl he met on the high-speed train?

At that moment, the wheat-colored girl also happened to look up, locking eyes with Xu Musen and clearly startled for a moment.

But the very next instant, she seemed to avoid his gaze as if it were the plague.

"..."

It was the first time Xu Musen had been avoided like the plague. Had he done something to offend her?

Standing next to her was a very fashionably dressed girl, not very tall at around one meter sixty, but her fashion sense was very modern.

Despite her small stature that made her seem somewhat petite and cute, her large watery eyes were particularly alluring.

A typical Southern girl's features.

Using a term popular from his previous life, she would be described as a standard Southern spud, incredibly studious.

Her looks rated a good seven or eight out of ten.

She could probably be considered the prettiest girl in the class, and as soon as she appeared, the guys in the class were all eyes.

"These two chicks are not bad. It's just that there are too few girls in our class. The art department has six or seven girls out of ten, while we only have a dozen or so. Too many wolves and not enough meat," one lamented.

"Be grateful that we even get to see girls. The civil engineering department next door can't even scrape together one good-looking girl. Guess after graduation on the construction site, even the sow will seem grace personified," another replied.

Zhou Hangyu rubbed his hands together: "Alright, I've called dibs on this tanned chick! I'm tired of fair and pretty, want to change it up."

Li Rundong was not to be outdone: "What taste. Then this Southern girl is mine!"

Ma Yaxing opened his mouth: "Both of you, keep it down. Look at how calm Xu Musen is."

"Heh, he has a pretty girl willing to make his bed, and you're comparing yourself to him?"

Zhou Hangyu made a tsk sound, then nudged Xu Musen: "You've already got a girlfriend, man. Don't compete with us!"

"Don't worry, I never go after someone else's preference," Xu Musen responded with a smile and shook his head.

But Ma Yaxing was inwardly mumbling.

A gentleman doesn't seize the love of others, unless it's freely given...
