Chapter 120: I Truly Like You From the Bottom of My Heart

Bringing Xiao Su back to the nursing home, a thoroughly worn-out middle-aged man was squatting at the entrance, like a homeless dog soaked in an April rain.

So pitiful. Jiang Linyuan glanced at him, looked right past him, and casually pushed Xiao Su inside.

"You looked right at me and didn't even say hello!"

The man stood up, glaring angrily.

"Oh, I was just waiting for you, Vice Principal, to greet me first."

Jiang Linyuan put on an expression like he'd just recognized him, his face full of fake embarrassment.

You can kiss your diploma goodbye!

The Vice Principal was furious. This punk dared to disrespect him before even entering his home!

If he got in, what wouldn't he do? This little brat!

Su Muzhi looked at the Vice Principal and asked with a smile.

"She was afraid of upsetting your mood, so she had me come instead."

The Vice Principal's face immediately lit up with a grin for his darling daughter.

The Vice Principal, a pitiful slave.

Jiang Linyuan shook his head regretfully.

Su Muzhi just covered her mouth and laughed:

"Mom's sulking, isn't she? Still mad that I ran off. She's afraid that if we meet, she won't be able to control her emotions and we'll end up fighting, so she'd rather not see me?"

The little darling was as sharp as ever, but she just refused to back down.

And the big blanket was the same... They both understood each other perfectly, so why were they so stubborn?

The Vice Principal sighed inwardly, feeling uncomfortable, and glared at Jiang Linyuan.

It's all this little brat's fault!

"What are you glaring at me for, Vice Principal?"

"You got a problem?"

Vice Principal, you're not being good.

Jiang Linyuan didn't answer. Instead, he casually grabbed Su Muzhi's little hand and squeezed it. Squeezed it again.

Su Muzhi's hand had been held for most of the day, so she didn't mind. She just made a face that seemed both speechless and dismissive.

This guy really seemed to like hands.

Watching from the side, the Vice Principal looked like he'd been struck by lightning, his face ashen.

Fake! It has to be fake!

Seeing the Vice Principal's expression, Jiang Linyuan withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

Hehe, take that, Vice Principal.

"Alright, I'm tired today. I want to sleep."

As Su Muzhi spoke, the dazed Vice Principal snapped back to reality and scrambled to help Jiang Linyuan escort her back to the ward.

After settling her in, the two walked out of the ward.

The Vice Principal wore an expression like a demon, looking at Jiang Linyuan as if he wanted to devour him:

"Did you have a good time out with my daughter?"

"Just look at her face and you'd know. Why are you asking me? You're really a lousy father."

Jiang Linyuan said contemptuously.

This kid has absolutely zero respect for me!!!

The Vice Principal's first instinct was rage, but remembering the smile on Su Muzhi's face when she returned, he just let out a long sigh:

"You're right. I'm a lousy father. I couldn't help Muzhi much when she was young."

"Well, now that you know, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

For crying out loud...

The Vice Principal was so angry his mouth was about to twist again. He calmed himself down:

"You'd better watch out. Muzhi's mom is holding in a ton of anger right now. She won't take it out on Muzhi, so guess who she'll vent it on?"

"Not on you, Vice Principal?"

Jiang Linyuan asked in surprise. Then, he put on a regretful expression:

"I didn't realize you're not just a lousy father, but also a lousy husband. You can't even manage to soothe your own wife's emotions."

The Vice Principal clutched his chest, breathing heavily, about to have a fit.

Even if I bend over backward, I'm practically your future father-in-law! How dare you show me zero respect!

"Fine, fine. As long as you're this spirited, I'm satisfied."

He gave Jiang Linyuan a cold smirk.

Jiang Linyuan ignored him, turned, and walked away.

After a few steps, the Vice Principal called out again:

"Thank you, Jiang Linyuan."

"...I don't deserve it."

He said.

...

The great Jiang Linyuan once again returned to his loyal External Liaison Department.

As December arrived, some majors had already started preparing for finals, showcasing the potential of college students.

Jiang Linyuan wasn't in a hurry. He still had some time before his own exams.

But he did try out the [Overclocked Brain] ability.

All he could say was, he'd experienced overclocking—a thousand jumps in an instant, pleasure surging through his entire body.

That feeling of merging with knowledge was utterly addictive.

Even though it only lasted an hour, it was still quite a while.

System, I truly like you from the bottom of my heart.

Just in terms of memory alone, it was like having photographic recall. Everything he saw and heard in that hour was stored in his brain like a video tape.

Whenever he wanted, he could pull it out and read it.

The only drawback was that after using this skill, he entered a state of post-nut clarity.

Extreme exhaustion.

But no problem! He had [Refreshed and Renewed]—bring it on again!

In the evening, the Student Union held a meeting.

"We're about to hit the graduate exam period. The school is supporting the candidates, and the Student Union is partnering with the Youth Volunteer Association to help serve them. Everyone, sign up actively."

"Check the group chat for details."

Li Jianyi, the Student Union president on stage, casually summarized the purpose of the meeting.

"Graduate exams, huh. Senior, you're a sophomore this year, right? Have you thought about what's next? After graduation, will you take the exam or find a job?"

Having been in the Student Union for nearly a semester, Lin Yilin was no longer the little bunny who listened attentively to every meeting. She secretly chatted with Jiang Linyuan from below.

Jiang Linyuan glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said:

"Xiao Yilin, my dream is actually to live off a woman."

"Senior, I'm asking you seriously!"

Lin Yilin smacked Jiang Linyuan's arm in dissatisfaction.

Dog senior, not a single truthful word ever comes out of your mouth.

Jiang Linyuan sighed.

These days, no one believes you even when you tell the truth.

"Senior, I'll work hard to earn money and take care of you."

Yu Songsong, sitting in the back row, had been eavesdropping. She poked her head forward and said very seriously.

Wow, wow, wow! It's this Yu Songsong again! She was like this during the Music Festival too!

Lin Yilin puffed out her cheeks angrily.

She didn't understand how any girl could be so bold! Saying things that sounded almost like confessions every day—wasn't she afraid of rejection?

"Junior Songsong, you can't afford to keep me."

"I... I'll work hard in the future!"

"So you want me to spend my best years with you, enduring hardship together?"

"Ugh..."

Senior definitely sneaks onto Little X Book too.

Yu Songsong couldn't argue with him and asked reluctantly:

"So, when I can afford to keep you, Senior, will you be with me?"

So... so bold!

Lin Yilin was stunned. Senior was clearly rejecting her, right? How was she not hurt at all?

"We'll talk about the future when it comes."

Jiang Linyuan thought for a moment and answered vaguely.

He felt it wasn't good for Thief Saint to keep pestering him like this every day. Might as well give her some motivation!

Hearing this, Yu Songsong's eyes lit up instantly:

"I'm looking forward to the future."

Become a career powerhouse, Thief Saint! Until then, I'll live off someone else's woman first.

Jiang Linyuan nodded in satisfaction. But Lin Yilin beside him wasn't happy. She tugged at his clothes and said quietly:

"Senior, why didn't you just reject her directly?"

"I've already rejected her many times, but she won't give up. Might as well give her a goal to work toward."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"Oh."

Lin Yilin replied, pulling her hand back, a little disappointed.

But she didn't know what she was disappointed about.

If only she could be that bold. Even if her confession were rejected, she could still love freely without restraint.
