Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 333 - 333 330 Learning from a Rookie

Chapter 333: Chapter 330: Learning from a Rookie Chapter 333: Chapter 330: Learning from a Rookie Since classes hadn’t officially started yet, the dorm lights weren’t turned off at night.

When Zhu Jin came to find Mu Jiawen, it was already close to ten o’clock.

“What’s up?”

The two stood on the balcony, with Mu Jiawen dressed in a cotton white nightgown, her fair and soft arm lazily resting on the railing, while her other hand patted her yawning mouth. Her black hair cascaded down her back, and her dark eyes shimmered with a liquid glow, her whole being exuding an irresistible charm!

Jiang Yan, that bastard, was so damn lucky!

Zhu Jin couldn’t help but curse inwardly while her hands began to wander over Mu Jiawen.

“That tickles… You pervert!”

After fooling around for a bit, Zhu Jin finally spoke up about her reason for coming, “Jiajia, I want to ask you, how did Jiang Yan first confess to you?”

Confess?

“Did he say those three words to you?”

Three words?

Seeing the confused look on Mu Jiawen’s face, Zhu Jin asked incredulously, “What? He never did? You dummy, how did you end up with him then?”

Mu Jiawen replied seriously, “It just happened naturally, you know. When two people spend enough time together, feelings develop. Do you really need a confession by then? When a single glance says it all, why bother with flashy gestures? It’s such a hassle!”

This left Zhu Jin at a loss for words. She had read many romance novels but never put any of it into practice, which was why she was seeking advice from Mu Jiawen.

She asked, a bit unsure, “Is it really like that?”

Mu Jiawen nodded earnestly, “Of course. Would you dare accept a confession with no feelings behind it?”

That made sense.

Finally catching on, Mu Jiawen blinked her large eyes and asked Zhu Jin, “Did someone confess to you?”

Zhu Jin played coyly, fiddling with her skirt, “Not exactly, he just asked me out for a stroll, and we ended up at a café for a while.”

“And then?”

“Then? That’s it, I’m back now, aren’t I?”

So what was that about?

Zhu Jin looked at her and asked, “What do you think his intentions are?”

She didn’t dare admit that the person was Yu Hang, since everyone knew him too well. If it turned out he wasn’t interested and she had told someone else, wouldn’t it be awkward the next time they met?

Consulting Mu Jiawen was like clutching at straws for Zhu Jin. She was a total newbie to romance who had only recently come to understand the basics. If Jiang Yan hadn’t been so vigilant and pulled her into his orbit right on time, would she even know what love was?

However, Mu Jiawen didn’t see it that way and felt quite confident in her advice, despite never having practiced it, “He must be attracted to you and wants to get to know you better, to see if you’re compatible.”

This theory was borrowed from her older brother, who had just announced at home that after getting along well with Teacher Luo for the past half year and finding their values and temperaments compatible, they had decided to get married.

As for her and Jiang Yan… that definitely wasn’t applicable to Zhu Jin, because they had known each other since childhood, even fought when they were little, and had been inseparably close since senior high. For them, being together was as natural as water flowing along its course, which was totally different from getting to know someone in college.

After some thought, Zhu Jin considered that Yu Hang had known her for so long, didn’t he already know her well?

Or did he want to rediscover her? Before, his understanding was that of a regular classmate, but now he wanted to know her from a different angle and then decide whether their personalities matched up before choosing to be together?

It was like an epiphany for Zhu Jin. She hugged Mu Jiawen, planted a kiss on her cheek, and left cheerily.

Mu Jiawen herself lingered on the balcony for a while before going inside.

Only when she lay in bed did she reach for her phone and rapidly tapped on the keys—

[Let’s break up for tonight, we can get back together after you confess to me tomorrow.]

[Also, you’ve never said those three words to me.]

Jiang Yan, who had just finished showering and was about to get into bed, looked at the two messages with a face full of confusion.

Who the hell taught her that?

Jiang Yan looked down at the keypad, “Mu Jiawen, no matter what the situation, you can’t just throw around the words ‘break up.’ Given that this is your first time, I’ll forgive you this once. If there’s a next time, you’ll see how I’ll deal with you.”

Mu Jiawen replied guiltily with one word, “Hmph!”

Jiang Yan, “Want to hear a confession, do you? Come outside.”

Mu Jiawen, “I’ve gone to sleep.”

“I’m heading over now, you come downstairs in five minutes.”

“I’ve gone to sleep.”

Jiang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, so she wants to hear a confession but now she’s playing ostrich?

Thinking about good things after breaking up tonight, huh.

“Don’t you want to hear a confession? Hurry up and come downstairs.”

After struggling internally for two minutes, Mu Jiawen listlessly climbed out of bed, took off her white sleep dress, and changed into a light blue long-sleeved dress.

Liang Yujun and Sha Yali Ding Yuanyuan saw her leaving at this hour and asked in surprise, “Where are you going?”

Mu Jiawen thought about it and decided to tell a little white lie, “Zhu Jin is sick, I’m going to take her some medicine and see if she needs to go to the hospital.”

Liang Yujun wondered, “Wasn’t she fine when she left just now?”

“Her illness comes on quickly.”

“???”

When Mu Jiawen walked downstairs slowly, Jiang Yan was already waiting below.

Even though it was past ten, everyone had just returned to campus. The air was ripe with the hormones of youth, and there were people everywhere in groups of twos and threes.

She walked up to Jiang Yan with her head down, and, feeling guilty, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist once they reached a less crowded and dimly lit path.

“Want to hear a confession?”

Jiang Yan looked down at the timid little head buried in his chest and found it quite amusing.

“Don’t want to listen anymore, that text wasn’t sent by me.”

“Who sent it then?”

“My hand.”

Jiang Yan: …

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, bent down to scoop up her behind, lifted her into his arms, walked over to a bench and sat down, then leaned in and whispered three words in her ear.

His warm breath on her neck and ear caused Mu Jiawen’s neck, ears, and face to turn red in an instant. She buried her head in his chest and muttered softly, “Stop it.”

Jiang Yan stroked her hair with his hand, leaned down, and kissed the top of her head, then asked, “Who were you chatting with tonight?”

“Zhu Jin.”

Mu Jiawen raised her head, and instantly forgot Zhu Jin’s confidential matter, “There’s a guy chasing her, and they went out on a date for the whole evening. She didn’t get back until around ten.”

At this, Jiang Yan was taken aback, thinking it’s over, if Yu Hang doesn’t make his move soon, she might end up with someone else.

“Is it a guy from their department?”

“Should be, from the way she talked it seemed they were quite familiar, I guess it might be her classmate from the same class.”

Jiang Yan thought it wasn’t surprising that Zhu Jin had suitors now. After a year of transformation in her freshman year, she had already emerged from her cocoon into a butterfly, and it might not be long before she could say goodbye to singlehood.

And how many tests could the crush buried in the heart of adolescence withstand?

Two days later, while Jiang Yan and Yu Hang were on the phone boasting to each other, he seemingly inadvertently let slip that Zhu Jin was being pursued by a male classmate, and that maybe the next time they all ate together, they might see her bringing her boyfriend along…
