Chapter 114: Official Announcement of Relationship
The current Jiang Miao was no longer the same Jiang Miao from the beginning of the school year, nor was he the one who merely gathered material with Senior Sister.
After three days of absence, he had to be regarded with new eyes.
Back then, when Wang Xin repeatedly suspected his unusual relationship with Senior Sister, he had felt the need to come up with excuses.
Or when Chen Haoshang caught him holding hands with Senior Sister outside the bubble tea shop, he had hesitated about whether to explain things clearly.
Now, even though Jiang Miao had only unlocked one-third of the boyfriend privileges with Senior Sister, he no longer felt anxious at all.
He rode the scooter, stopped it under the open-air bike shed, got off, casually reached out to hold Senior Sister’s hand, and raised his chin slightly in Xun Liang’s direction.
See that, Dog?
Sure, your two-timing antics are pretty wild, but I’m not bad either.
Just one Senior Sister can easily outshine multiple girlfriends from anyone else.
At school, she was the kind and humorous Senior Sister. At home, she was the tsundere artist of lewds. And online, she was a loyal reader who provided free illustrations for her favorite books.Thinking about it like this, Jiang Miao felt the entire situation was very bizarre.
But what made him feel even more bizarre was Xun Liang.
He already had such a beautiful girlfriend, but after the National Day holiday, he actually hooked up with another girl.
Moreover, she seemed even more impressive than his girlfriend.
It was like she was the deluxe, upgraded, plus version of his previous girlfriend.
Especially with her cool, aloof temperament, it was indeed not something that just anyone could imitate.
But judging from Xun Liang’s expression, he didn’t seem to be enjoying himself.
After exchanging a glance with Jiang Miao, his eyes were full of helplessness.
“Enough already. If you’re leaving, hurry up.”
At the dormitory entrance, Xun Liang, whose collar had just been straightened, said impatiently, “Zhejiang University isn’t that close to here.”
“There’s no rush.” The aloof girl retracted her hand and looked up at the dormitory. She asked calmly, “Your roommates should all be in, right? I’ll treat everyone to dinner.” řàꞐö𐌱ƐꞨ
“It’s only one-thirty.”
“Then give me a tour of the school.”
“I don’t have time!”
“You have plans this afternoon?”
“Um… ahem…” Xun Liang stammered. “Anyway, go back to your school. We can talk about dinner another time.”
“Don’t tell me you’re seeing another girlfriend?” The aloof girl narrowed her eyes and seemed to activate her radar.
Xun Liang was shocked and immediately denied, “No!”
“Is it that one?” She pointed her left hand at the tall girl walking towards them in the distance. Her right hand, however, had already reached out and locked onto his arm as she pressed her body against his.
He followed where her finger was pointing, and his eyes widened in shock when he felt her holding his arm.
“Stop, stop, stop!” Xun Liang panicked. “Sis, don’t mess with me! This is fucking fifth time already!”
“Don’t move.” The aloof girl’s lips were almost touching his ear as she whispered these two words softly. Her teasing actions were completely incompatible with her temperament.
When the tall girl in the distance saw the scene at the dormitory entrance, her expression changed drastically. She had no intention of confronting them and turned around to leave without saying a word.
“Fifth one, and even their personalities are similar.” The aloof girl saw the tall girl leave, but she still did not let go of her younger brother. “It’ll stay the same as before. I’ll come visit you once a month.”
“… Got it.” Xun Liang looked as though he had nothing to live for. “So, can you leave now?”
“No.” She shook her head. “I’m still treating your roommates to dinner.”
Xun Liang: “…”
Meanwhile, over by the bike shed.
Su Huaizhou looked over curiously and whispered, “Isn’t that your roommate?”
“Mm.”
“That girl you looked at on the way, is she his girlfriend?”
“Mm…”
“What about this one?”
“Probably… also?” The corners of Jiang Miao’s mouth twitched. He didn’t expect his roommate to do something so absurd.
“Is your whole dorm room full of this kind of trash?” Su Huaizhou pinched his large hand and narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
What others did was none of her business.
But if Junior Brother was influenced by this kind of behavior and led astray, where would she go to cry?
“The other two are pretty good.” Jiang Miao smiled awkwardly. “Just this one is a bit odd. But maybe there’s some misunderstanding.”
“What kind of misunderstanding?” she scoffed.
“Like maybe she’s his sister or something…”
“A sister who hugs her brother in front of his girlfriend? Is that a demonstration and provocation?”
Jiang Miao: “…”
Okay, he couldn’t refute and could only accept that Xun Liang was a scumbag.
But the next moment, his phone buzzed.
He took it out and saw a new message.
In the dorm room group chat, Xun Liang had sent a message.
[Ranran’s Dog]: Brothers, my sister wants to treat you to dinner. If anyone has plans, just let me know. @everyone
[No Tears in the Wind]: I’m busy.
[Wash Hands Often]: Sorry, I won’t be back until tomorrow morning.
Jiang Miao thought for a moment and typed.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I’m with my girlfriend. Sorry, maybe next time.
[Ranran’s Dog]: All good, no worries. I won’t disturb you guys!
Su Huaizhou leaned over to look at the screen. Her expression changed slightly as she blinked in confusion. “Is she really his sister?”
“Seems like it.”
“Then why did she do that just now?”
“Brocon?”
“Isn’t that a little too controlling?”
“Senior Sister, this isn’t the main point, right?” Jiang Miao, holding Su Huaizhou’s hand, didn’t bring her back to her dorm. Instead, he led her towards the entrance of Xiuye Commons. “I said I’m with my girlfriend, so I’ve got to follow through.”
She blushed as she turned her head and mumbled, “Only one-third.”
“Still counts. One-third is still a girlfriend.”
Su Huaizhou didn’t argue about it and asked, “Where are we going?”
“Hotel?”
“Get lost!”
His foot was stepped on.
Jiang Miao was immediately satisfied.
…
He strolled around campus hand in hand with Senior Sister, following almost the same path she had led him on back when school started.
The path was still the same, and the scenery was still the same.
But the people had changed.
As they walked by the grove and Lover’s Slope, the two of them couldn’t resist getting close to gather material.
Even though it was broad daylight, they still ran into couples here and there, so they didn’t dare to do anything overboard.
By around 3 p.m., Jiang Miao sent Senior Sister back to her dorm and then headed back to his own.
Wang Xin and Chen Haoshang were still not around.
Only Xun Liang was in the dorm room, lying lifelessly on his bed. “Brother Jiang?”
“Yes?”
“Are you and Senior Sister official now?”
“Yes.”
“Fuck!!”
“?” Jiang Miao looked puzzled. “Aren’t you supposed to congratulate me?”
“Woohoo.” Xun Liang cried bitterly. “You can’t understand the feelings of a man who just broke up.”
Jiang Miao: “…”
“I haven’t asked you. Was that girl at the entrance your sister?”
“Yes.”
“Biological sister?”
“…”
“Don’t tell me she’s just a close sister?”
“Bullshit!” Xun Liang snapped. “We’re not related by blood, but she is my sister!”
“Is your sister interested in you?”
“… It’s a long story.”
“Go ahead, take your time. I’m listening.”
“Forget it.” Xun Liang turned over on his bed, looking defeated. “It’s useless to say it. She’s already ruined five of my relationships.”
“Don’t tell me she really is a brocon?”
“Brocon, my ass.” Xun Liang had no strength to complain.
“Aren’t you going to explain it to your girlfriend?”
“I’ve given up…” Xun Liang slumped even more, softening like a pile of mud. “Any girlfriend my sister finds out about is basically doomed to fail.”
“…” Jiang Miao was speechless. He had no idea what was going on between Xun Liang and his sister, but it clearly wasn’t normal.
He tried poking around for more details, but Xun Liang didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so he could only give up on his plan to gather material.
Grabbing his laptop, he climbed to his bed to write, determined to use the last day of the holiday to write as much as possible. He wanted to pay off the thirty chapters he owed the Silver Alliance Leader as soon as possible.
…
In the evening, Jiang Miao received a WeChat message.
At first, he thought it was from Senior Sister, but it turned out to be from his father-in-law.
[Dajiang]: Little Jiang, how did Zhouzhou react to the Silver Alliance Leader?
When Jiang Miao saw this message, the corners of his mouth twitched.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Pretty happy.
How could she not be happy?
There were 30 bonus chapters.
Senior Sister was so happy that she was about to take off.
[Dajiang]: Did she say anything about me after I left that day?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Nope, everything was normal.
[Dajiang]: That’s good, that’s good.
Seeing his father-in-law being so humble and cautious made Jiang Miao feel a bit sorry for him.
After thinking for a moment, he replied.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Uncle, you can actually just ask Zhouzhou directly.
[Dajiang]: That won’t work. She’s blocked me several times before.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I didn’t mean on WeChat. I’m talking about the comments section of the novel.
[Dajiang]: What do you mean?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: You can leave comments there too. You could pretend to be a passerby sharing your situation and then ask the author for her opinion.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Uncle, you’re a Silver Alliance Leader, so the author will definitely respond.
[Dajiang]: You really have a way!
[Dajiang]: I’ll find some time to give it a try.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Oh right, Uncle, I’ll return that ten thousand yuan to you.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: (Transfer: 10,000 yuan)
[Dajiang]: What do you mean?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Zhouzhou usually doesn’t spend much money. If I suddenly spend a lot on her, she’ll definitely become suspicious.
[Dajiang]: Then you can keep it for yourself. Just treat it as an early New Year’s red packet from me.
Jiang Miao: “…”
A New Year red packet, seriously?!
It’s only October. Father-in-law, isn’t it a little too early?
But Su Dajiang wasn’t having it easy either. After all, he had finally found a way to please his daughter, so he certainly couldn’t let Jiang Miao go.
However, Jiang Miao had a point. If he suddenly spent a lot of money on Zhouzhou, she might find out.
If Little Jiang and Zhouzhou had a relationship problem because of it, where else would he find a way to continue winning over his daughter?
[Dajiang]: Or how about you use that ten thousand yuan to tip for another Silver?
After some thought, Su Dajiang came up with this idea.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Don’t!
Jiang Miao was in a panic.
I still owe 27 chapters!
But you want another Silver?
Are you trying to kill me?!
If the debt reached 57 chapters, Jiang Miao would truly feel like wanting to die.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Getting another Silver in a short time will easily make Zhouzhou suspicious.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Plus, even if it’s only for the performance of this book, it’s best to wait a little longer before getting another Silver.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: After all, the traffic brought by the Silver Alliance Leader a few days ago hasn’t been digested yet. If there’s a second one now, it will be a waste.
[Dajiang]: Got it.
[Dajiang]: Alright, you can keep this ten thousand yuan. Use it for shopping and dating. Just ask me when you run out.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Thank you, Uncle. I understand.
Jiang Miao helplessly ended the conversation with his father-in-law, his face full of melancholy. He felt that the situation was becoming increasingly ridiculous.
It seemed that Senior Sister’s father was quite wealthy. He showed no hesitation at all about spending for another Silver Alliance Leader.
After all, it was ten thousand yuan.
He had said and handed it over just like that.
Could he have inadvertently hooked up with a rich and beautiful senior sister?
Moreover, she was his loyal fan.
It was truly the most unlikely scenario that could happen to him.
Shaking his head to dismiss these thoughts, Jiang Miao quickly finished his dinner and continued writing.
Today, Senior Sister had provided him with some excellent material, so he had to cherish this experience and wrap up the birthday arc as soon as possible.
The throbbing that felt like electric currents flowing during a first kiss was indeed not something a single person could easily imagine.
Taking advantage of that wonderful feeling still lingering, Jiang Miao planned to quickly finish writing the male lead’s birthday arc in the next couple of days.
Riding this wave of inspiration, everything flowed so smoothly that Jiang Miao was surprised.
If a kiss on the lips could grant him a speed buff, then wouldn’t he want to find opportunities to kiss Senior Sister in the future?
Unfortunately, he had only unlocked a third so far.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Miao glanced at Xun Liang’s dead body lying behind the bed curtain beside him and felt tempted.
If he had exposed himself to Xun Liang and Wang Xin earlier, he would have been able to unlock kissing with Senior Sister by now.
But he didn’t want to experience social death again.
What a dilemma…
It’s better to find a way to continue gathering material with Senior Sister.
…
On another side, the four sisters of Su Huaizhou’s dorm room were having a rare dinner gathering in the cafeteria.
After receiving nourishment from Junior Brother, Su Huaizhou looked radiant. From time to time, she would fiddle with her phone, revealing her wallpaper—a photo of her and Junior Brother.
She had her phone on her right side, but it wasn’t conspicuous enough for anyone to notice.
So she moved it to her left.
As a result, Shen Yu, sitting next to her, only took a glance and then continued eating silently, not saying a word.
Su Huaizhou felt anxious and pushed her phone a little farther towards the opposite side. Then she pretended to eat nonchalantly.
Qi Lianyue, sitting across from her, took a quick look but didn’t comment, maintaining a calm and natural expression.
Su Huaizhou pouted and nudged her phone towards the center.
However, Cao Jiayuan, the owner of the scooter diagonally across from her, didn’t notice at all and kept scrolling through Weibo while eating.
Finally, Su Huaizhou couldn’t hold it in any longer. Blushing slightly, she cleared her throat and said seriously, “Sisters, I’m in a relationship.”
Shen Yu: “Oh.”
Qi Lianyue: “Mm.”
Cao Jiayuan: “Mm-mm.”
Su Huaizhou: “???”
What kind of reaction is this?!
Why are they so indifferent?
At this moment, Cao Jiayuan, who was usually not in the dorm and had been focused on her phone, suddenly returned to her senses, her face full of shock. “You’re no longer single?!”
