Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Jealousy, Don't Sleep Too Soundly Tonight!
School started.
In Hu Hai, a city that was on par with international standards, Xu Musen didn't know about its economic development, but he was certain the girls here wore incredibly short skirts!
In economically developed places, there were always more girls, especially in universities.
The ratio of female to male students could even reach 7:3.
The gender ratio at Hu Hai University wasn't that extreme, but the sights along the way had still dazzled Xu Musen.
Legs clad in various stockings with black, white, fishnet, and printed designs paired with all kinds of short skirts and shorts, not to mention backless and belly-baring tops.
In current Zheng City, such attire might still draw stares and whispers, but in Hu Hai, everyone had grown accustomed to it.
Moreover, the more economically developed the area, the more girls dressed themselves up. Xu Musen felt he hadn't seen any that were too hard on the eyes.
"Xu Musen, aren't you afraid your eyes will pop out?"
Yao Mingyue reached out and waved a hand in front of his face.
This guy! Didn't he think she was prettier than those seductive vixens?
"I'm enjoying the view as I please."
"Am I not prettier than them? Why don't I see you looking at me?"
With indignation, Yao Mingyue pushed out her full, round chest and showed off her delicate, perfect face.
Yao Mingyue truly had reason to be proud. Whether it was her body or her looks, even among the many beauties of Hu Hai University, she shone the brightest.
She was dressed today in a light, patterned chiffon blouse paired with a matching knee-length skirt, and at 172 centimeters tall, she was certainly within the golden ratio for a woman's height.
She had even put on a light touch of makeup today, especially around her phoenix eyes, adding a touch of nobility.
Bystanders couldn't help but give her a few extra glances, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred as they looked at Xu Musen's indifferent face.
Xu Musen glanced at her and said, "You feel just average to me."
Having said that, Xu Musen turned and continued walking into the university with his suitcase in tow.
Yao Mingyue froze for several seconds, and when she finally snapped back to reality, she clenched her teeth tightly!
Just average?!
"Hey there, you must be a new student reporting today, right? Let me help you with your luggage."
Just as she reached the entrance, a male student dressed in volunteer clothing immediately came forward, eyeing Yao Mingyue's stunningly angry face.
Smiling like the spring breeze, he wondered what he was really doing volunteering.
Was it truly to serve juniors and sisters?
Stop kidding, wasn't it just to take the opportunity to charm a younger female student and get a girlfriend?
He came over with a smile on his face, intending to show off his warm and caring upperclassman side.
"No need."
Yao Mingyue was already annoyed, and the sudden appearance of this person blocking her view only irritated her further.
"I am the head of the Student Council's Discipline Department, very familiar with the school. You don't have to be shy, let me help you, I'm strong enough as an upperclassman!"
The male student said as he rolled up his sleeves and reached for the suitcase in Yao Mingyue's hands.

"I said no need! If you've got strength to spare, go move bricks on a construction site."
Yao Mingyue spoke with a frown, seemingly venting out her frustrations, and, indeed, she felt much better.
Yao Mingyue pulled her suitcase away, leaving the man's hand awkwardly hanging in the air.
Surrounded by onlookers, he felt his face heat up with embarrassment. Watching Yao Mingyue's retreating back, he felt indignant and spat in his heart.
"What's so great about her? She's just a bit good-looking. With an attitude like that, she must've just been dumped..."
As he was trying to save his own face, another girl with a tall figure and wheat-colored skin approached.
He looked up and, though she wasn't as breathtakingly beautiful as the first girl, she was still quite attractive.
Especially her long legs that seemed to be clad in natural black stockings, quite impactful. He immediately put on a smile: "Hello, I'm from the Student Council..."
"Excuse me."
But the wheat-skinned girl didn't even give him a second glance, merely uttering a phrase before quickly walking away.
"..."
The male student stood there, thinking: Damn it! Who said freshmen girls were easy to charm?
"Senior, could you help me with my luggage?"
Finally, a girl approached him proactively.
"Of course, I can. It's only right to take care of new students!" His spirits lifted, finally someone had noticed his charm, right?
"That's great, thank you, senior!"
The girl happily pushed two suitcases, each over a meter tall, towards him.
The male student's smile twitched as he felt the weight of the suitcases; each was at least thirty pounds.
"All these... are they your luggage?"
"Oh no, one of them is my boyfriend's. I didn't want him to overexert himself... Hey, why are you leaving, senior?"
Treat a senior like livestock, will you!
...
"Tsk, these guys, really. They couldn't find a date all through freshman year and actually think they can win hearts just by carrying luggage for the girls."
"Exactly, it feels like there are so few handsome guys in this year's batch..."
"Hey, look over there, isn't that one pretty good-looking?"
A few girls involved in the orientation were also whispering amongst themselves.
Some had noticed Xu Musen, who was consulting a map.
One of the girls, with dyed blond hair and a good body, looked Xu Musen over, especially noting the watch on his wrist.
Her eyes lit up at once.
"Do you need me to take you to the registration spot?"
The scent of perfume reached him, and when Xu Musen turned around, he was greeted by a flash from a large pair of headlights.
Long blond hair and a pretty good face, about a six or seven, but with a great figure, in a low-cut white shirt, she certainly caught the eye.
Coming on with high beams?
She was dressed very maturely, almost not seeming like a student anymore.
"Thank you, but I know where it is, no trouble needed."
Xu Musen's gaze leisurely swept over her, he offered a polite smile, and shook his head.
"No problem at all! You're new to the school and must not understand many things, I can explain them to you."
The blonde woman was a bit taken aback by how bluntly Xu Musen refused, and even more so by the fact that he didn't give her a second glance.
She was quite confident about her figure, as such fresh-faced freshmen were usually very interested in the opposite sex. Just now, who knows how many guys were sneakily admiring her.
But she had no interest in those "puppy-like" younger students who would blush and stutter for ages without speaking, and only dared to steal glances at her chest with their peripheral vision, which only made them seem even more lecherous.
By comparison, she preferred tall guys with some muscle who radiated confidence and composure.
If you're going to look, be bold about it. Most women don't actually mind being looked at by men; it's just that you're not their type.
The passing male students looked over, clicking their tongues in envy.
Why couldn't they get approached by such a bombshell senior like him?
"Really, it's no trouble." Xu Musen shook his head, intending to leave.
"Then let's add each other as friends. If you have any questions, your senior is always available."
The blonde girl's smile remained unchanged as she pulled out her phone directly from her bosom, its screen displaying a selfie she took in the gym.
The curves outlined by her yoga pants could indeed easily breach the psychological defenses of a youth in tumult.
As the saying goes, it's hard to slap a smiling face; Xu Musen was thinking of an excuse to quickly get away.
Suddenly, a fair small hand reached out, and Yao Mingyue stood expressionless between them.
She held a phone that was still in the middle of a call: "My mom wants to talk to you."
Xu Musen reached out and took it.
"Hello, Xiaosen, have you and Ming Yue arrived at school?"
"Yeah, we just got here."
"That's good. I've arranged for someone to deliver bedding to your school. Remember to pick it up this afternoon."
"There's no need for that; there's a place right by the school that sells them."
"Those places don't sell good quality bedding, and Hu Hai is more humid than Zheng City. Poor bedding can easily lead to acne. I'm often out on business trips, so at school, you'll have to look out for Ming Yue. She's quite stubborn, and besides you, there aren't many people she can talk to..."
Liu Rushuang slowly instructed.
Meanwhile, Yao Mingyue and the blonde girl silently exchanged glances for a moment.
Yao Mingyue's eyes also swept over her chest.
Kind of like ☾◒⋎◒☽ that.
Yao Mingyue gritted her teeth. Was her family too poor to afford the other half of the fabric? Did she have to dress like that to lure away her man?
She looked at the girl in front of her, suddenly smiling, and while holding her arms across her chest, she said, "He's occupied and can't take the phone right now. How about you add me as a friend first, senior?"
Yao Mingyue's figure was similarly tall and slender, exuding the appeal of both a young girl and a mature woman.
That almost-perfect pretty face was a killer weapon just by standing there.
The blonde girl sized her up and down; though smiling, her look gave off a chilling vibe.
She retracted her gaze and looked at Xu Musen before smiling, "It's fine, I won't bother you anymore. See you if it's meant to be."
With that, she turned and left.
Xu Musen only then theatrically put the phone down.
While being possessive and controlling had its drawbacks, it also had its perks, like fending off meaningless social interactions.
After all, Yao Mingyue really wasn't afraid of offending people.
"Did I interrupt your romantic prospects? Are you upset?"
Yao Mingyue turned around, looking at Xu Musen with a smirk.
Xu Musen turned and looked at her seriously, "Yes, I'm furious. As a punishment, you're not allowed to talk to me for the next four years!"
Xu Musen's face was serious as he lifted his foot and started walking forward.
Yao Mingyue was stunned for a second, then angrily chased after him, "Xu Musen, explain yourself! Do you actually want to get involved with that kind of girl?"
"I think she's quite nice. At first glance, she seems easygoing, large-hearted, much better than you."
"Xu Musen! You're asking for it!!"
Yao Mingyue ground her teeth, but Xu Musen had already walked ahead.
He first went to check in and collected his dorm number and key.
Xu Musen glanced at the sign-in sheet and found that his roommates this time were not the same three people from his past life.
He had been assigned to the class with the best grades.
However, Xu Musen didn't feel it was a pity.
In his previous life, he had been completely devoted to Yao Mingyue, barely knowing anyone else well enough to talk to in his class, and he hadn't had a good relationship with his roommates either.
In fact, even if he saw them now, Xu Musen might not remember them.
Meeting new roommates wouldn't be bad, a completely fresh start.
Xu Musen picked up his key and saw Yao Mingyue standing behind him, her phoenix eyes gleaming as she gazed at his dorm number.
Xu Musen, pulling his suitcase, prepared to first take a look at the dorm.
All dorm buildings were along one path, and Yao Mingyue was staying in the girls' dormitory building one. She stopped walking but then blocked Xu Musen's way.
"What is it?"
Xu Musen raised an eyebrow at her.
"Are you just going to stand there and watch as a girl lugs her suitcase up by herself?"
Yao Mingyue glanced at her one-meter-tall white suitcase.
Packed with bottles and jars of cosmetics, it was somewhat heavy.
"Of course, I won't just stand by and watch."
Xu Musen nodded and then took a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and put them on.
Now he couldn't see a thing.
"Goodbye."
Xu Musen turned and continued on his way.
Yao Mingyue stood frozen on the spot for a good while.
Her look went from astonished to icy, then she smirked menacingly, watching Xu Musen's retreating figure.
She pursed her lips in a smile; she had already noted Xu Musen's dorm number.
Hehe, you'd better not sleep too soundly tonight!
