You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?-Chapter 89 - He Doesn’t Care That Much About You

The girl's expression changed slightly, but she quickly sneered with disdain.

"Yes, I admit that you have a good relationship with Ji Mu, the male god, but that's all there is to it."

With an inexplicable confidence, she held her head high, like a fighting rooster that refused to admit defeat even after losing a match.

"No matter how special your relationship is, you will never become the wife of the male god!"

"The male god has mentioned more than once on the campus forum that you are his best friend."

"Remember that! Just... a... friend!"

She emphasized the last two words heavily, speaking in an extremely provocative and pitiful tone.

Ruan Qingqing was not provoked by the other party. Her pure and delicate face remained calm, as if this level of attack was nothing more than a child randomly spraying water with a toy gun.

"And then? What are you trying to say?"

She met the girl's gaze and parted her rosy lips slightly.

"Are you trying to share the thoughts of fans like you who don't even have the qualifications to get close to Mu Mu?"

"The girl's face twisted slightly, clearly affected by Ruan Qingqing's casual remark.

She bit her molars and changed her approach, letting out a cold laugh.

"Hmph, no matter how good your relationship is, I haven't seen you two being particularly intimate. From an outsider's perspective, it seems like you haven't even shared a bed, right?"

Ruan Qingqing's eyes darkened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. However, this slight change was still noticed by the girl.

She got the answer she wanted.

"Hahaha, I knew it!"

Her lips curled into a mocking smile filled with pride.

"Ruan Qingqing, Ji Mu has only thought of you as a friend from the beginning. He doesn't care about you that much!"

This statement obviously touched a sensitive spot, and without hesitation, the girl lifted her foot and stepped on the other person's palm, pinning it to the ground on a sharp rock.

"Shut up!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ruan Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce, and her gentle and pure aura was completely gone.

The pain of her palm being crushed against the rock caused her face to contort in agony, yet she still stared at the other person stubbornly, her heart filled with a fierce and unyielding love for Ji Mu that wouldn't allow her to back down.

"Ruan Qingqing, you are a murderer."

Her face twisted into a menacing scowl as she warned, "Stay away from our male god, you are a plague, you do not deserve to be near Ji Mu... Ahhh!"

Ruan Qingqing's foot pressed down even harder, until the other person was shaking like a sieve, her face contorted in agony, her veins bulging, and her pitiful screams ringing in her ears, she finally lifted her foot.

The girl collapsed to the ground, her hand trembling and shrinking back in pain, almost crushed.

"Ruan... Ruan Qingqing..."

Her voice was broken and intermittent, her nostrils flaring.

"You dare to torture me! Just wait, I'll expose your hypocritical and innocent-looking face to Ji Mu right away!"

Ruan Qingqing casually withdrew her gaze.

"Go ahead."

Her tone was still as sweet as honey, but her words sent a chill down one's spine.

"But if I find out it was you who spoke out, I'll personally... cut out your tongue."

……...

Returning to the teaching building, Ruan Qingqing slowed down her pace as she stepped up the stairs.

Students walked up and down in twos and threes, the hustle and bustle of the crowd passing her by like a series of frames that kept passing through her eyes.

But as she turned the corner into the long corridor, her gaze fell on a tall figure in the distance, and those clear eyes suddenly froze.

From this vantage point, the boy was the focal point of the entire scene.

The afternoon sunlight, tinged with a warm yellow haze, shone through the glass windows of the corridor, illuminating his clean profile and making it gleam like a reflection.

He was leaning against the wall next to the classroom door, surrounded by an air of laziness, and it was unclear how long he had been waiting there.

She noticed that the young man was carrying a cup with the words 'tomato juice' clearly visible through the transparent wrapper.

She remembered how she had previously made up a reason to cover up her drinking of blood packets by saying that she liked to drink tomato juice.

Although it was just a casual remark, the boy had remembered it until now.

Her heartbeat quickened, and Ruan Qingqing's eyes felt a little moist.

She took a deep breath, and with a calm expression, she walked over to the boy, "Mu Mu".

Upon hearing her voice, Ji Mu's eyelids lifted, "You're here?"

"Mhm."

Ruan Qingqing's voice was soft and gentle, and she voluntarily explained, "I just went to give some materials to the teacher."

Ji Mu nodded and didn't ask any more questions, instead holding the drink in front of the girl.

"Here, I bought this when I went to buy takoyaki (octopus balls) this afternoon. Would you like to try some?"

"Okay~"

She took the drink with both hands, admiring Ji Mu's pretty face with red lips and white teeth. Ruan Qingqing bit her lower lip, "Mu Mu, why haven't you been wearing those round-framed glasses lately?"

Ji Mu yawned and listlessly replied, "Wearing them for too long makes my ears hurt. It's uncomfortable, so I took it off."

The main reason was that since he showed his face, people would crowd around him whether he wore the glasses or not. It was more comfortable to take them off.

"Is that... so." Ruan Qingqing was stunned.

But like this, you're too dazzling. So dazzling that I feel like I'm getting further away from you. We've spent so much less time together lately…

She lowered her eyelashes to hide her swirling emotions and spoke softly. "Final exams are coming up. I'll go back to my seat to study, Mu Mu."

After speaking, she walked into the classroom, leaving Ji Mu standing there in confusion.

What's wrong with that silly goose? She seems to be in a bad mood.

[It's because of the rumors that have been spreading around the school lately. It would be hard for anyone to stay calm in such a situation.]

The system, which had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.

[Do you think everyone is like you, who only cares about money? She's a kind and gentle girl, but her heart is very fragile.]

After listening to the system's complaints, Ji Mu glanced at the girl's back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although the system had a point, he felt that the reason wasn't that simple…

……

"The transfer procedures are almost complete. You should spend the remaining time in Tianhua City well," the principal said, organizing the documents and planning the next steps.

"As soon as the summer vacation is over, we'll go straight to Jiangcheng."

The efficiency of the process was quite disconcerting to Ji Mu, who was used to procrastinating and taking things slowly.

"Principal, I..."

"Hmm?" Gu Changlin's tone rose, and the look in his eyes made his meaning clear.

Ji Mu paused for a moment before reluctantly changing his address to the old man.

"...Uncle."

"Hmm." The headmaster's tone dropped, obviously pleased with the new form of address.

Ji Mu felt a little helpless.

After his uncle Ji Shihua passed away, the headmaster had revealed his true identity to Ji Mu.

No more pretending, it's time to tell the truth - I'm really your dear uncle!

These old-timers really knew how to play the abstract game. Normally, they wouldn't make a peep, but one day, they'd hit you with something big. No wonder they're considered the older generation of artists - long setups followed by sudden moves, a combo that's impossible to defend against.

Back to the present.

The director was the older brother of Ji Mu's biological mother, which makes him Ji Mu's real second uncle. And Ji Mu has another uncle named Gu Shuyang, who was currently the mayor of Jiangcheng.

The scenery was extraordinarily luxurious, unprecedented in its grandeur. Ji Mu, who was always alone in his previous life, now feels like he's been upgraded from a bird gun to a cannon.

"Good nephew," the principal's voice brought Ji Mu back to reality.

"After spending so many years in Tianhua City, you're leaving so suddenly. Don't you feel any attachment?"

Ji Mu found this question rather puzzling.

"Why should I feel attached? It's not like I can't come back."

He laughed inwardly. He wasn't attached to this world at all, let alone Tianhua City.

The principal was left speechless by this answer.

This brat, living so transparently, made all his worries seem pointless.

"That's not true. I heard that there's a girl named Ruan Qingqing who has a pretty good relationship with you," the principal said, giving him a gossipy look. "Shouldn't you be reluctant to break up with her?"

Ji Mu found this even stranger.

"What's there to be reluctant about?" he replied. "Just take the silly goose to the transfer school. The educational resources in the provincial capital are better, and she can improve her grades there."

"Hahaha, you're quite open-minded."

"Yes, I guess so."

...

While the two were talking, neither of them noticed the small gap in the door.

The corridor was quiet and calm.

Ruan Qingqing, who had heard the entire conversation inside, lowered her head. Her shoulder-length hair fell forward, covering her cheeks, and her expression was hidden in the shadows.

"See, he really... doesn't care about you that much~"

The voice from the depths of her soul echoed again, mocking her self-assurance. The tone gradually matched that of the girl in the bamboo forest earlier.

"He doesn't care about you at all!"

Doesn't care...?

Drip. Drip.

Blood trickled from her fingertips, where her nails had dug deep into her palms, onto the marble floor.

Her deep eyes were a rich, inky black, devoid of any other color. It was as if a cloud had suddenly descended from the sky, swallowing the light that was streaming from the sun.

"Mu... Mu..."

The soft murmur sounded hoarse, the eerie, wet sound like a poisonous snake crawling through the swamp, slowly burrowing into the most rotten wounds of the heart. Beneath the extreme calm of her voice lay an indescribable madness.

Outside, the sky was covered with endless gray clouds, hanging like a vast, oppressive curtain. Though dusk had not yet fallen, it brought an inexplicable sense of oppression to the passersby.

A faint, huge clock shadow appeared above the clouds.

The "tick-tick-tick" sound seemed to record the seconds counting down to the final moments.
