Who would have thought that Auntie Shaqima, who seemed gentle on the surface, was actually a Team Rocket thug who casually stole other people's Pokémon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Majesty Vice Principal, you're guilty too! Why didn't you say anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan only secretly thought this to himself. After all, when it came down to it, he was the outsider here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a little sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like he had entered Xiao Su's life like Style—because he wasn't a good fit, whether he came or left, she didn't feel a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man, you gotta grow bigger and stronger! I need to increase my weight, my heft, my length in Xiao Su's heart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, where is Xiao Su's nursing home? I'll visit her when I have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Principal sent an address:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call me when you go, otherwise you might not get in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shivering with anger and cold! The Vice Principal really looked down on people! Thirty years east of the river! Thirty years west of the river! Don't bully the young and poor—you won't outlive me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the address in hand, Jiang Linyuan started thinking about finding a time to visit Xiao Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he bring the Department Head along?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nah, their relationship had only just started to thaw. If he actually brought her, Xiao Su wouldn't be able to compete with the Department Head and would definitely blame him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talking to Xiao Jiang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi hung up the phone and saw her mother placing a plate of fruit on the bedside table, a faint smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that how annoying her own smile looked sometimes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the face that resembled her own, she thought, then smiled back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, want to take a guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su sighed and shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're this grown now, and still holding a grudge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't understand what Mommy is saying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Su Muzhi turned her head to look at the fruit plate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have just had a nurse do something like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How would they know what you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su replied without holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, does Mommy think doing this will make me all touched? 'Oh, I'm such a loving mother,' and all that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and stuffed it into her mouth, looking completely nonchalant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Muzhi, Mommy is a first-time mother too. I did a lot of things wrong in the past, but it's all in the past, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi gave a faint smile and looked out the window:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, you're really boring. The old you would never have been like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su sighed again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy's getting old. I don't have the energy to keep fighting with Muzhi anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi let out a soft laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy really says one thing but means another. You're just like me—someone who refuses to admit defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su looked at her and smiled too:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Muzhi, if you want to hate me, go ahead. You're very mature now, and I've already paved the way for the first half of your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only thing Mommy can still do for you now is help you find someone who truly loves you, to walk the rest of your life with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi flashed a provocative smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, if Daddy hadn't grown up with you since childhood, would someone like you even believe in love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, my dear, you're still too young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su looked at her daughter and said flatly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Linyuan is a decent person. His family background is ordinary, but he doesn't cower in the face of power. His personality is a bit like yours—not someone easy to control. When you two get together later, you'll need to keep him in check, but you can't always be strong-willed. Sometimes you have to learn to show weakness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, don't meddle in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're worried about the Shen family? The older one is just an illegitimate daughter. Even though Shen Pingyan favors her more, she ultimately has no real say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The younger one... she's way too young. Jiang Linyuan has only met her once. What are you so worried about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su looked at her daughter with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it possible that I don't like Jiang Linyuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Su smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even care about that? As long as it's interesting, isn't that enough? Like that stray cat you raised when you were little—even if you lost interest in it, you still couldn't accept it abandoning you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear, Jiang Linyuan is much freer than that stray cat. If you don't hold on to him, he'll abandon you one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi listened quietly, showing no anger. She smiled lightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, you really are a terrifying woman. No wonder Daddy has never dared to stand up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mother Su's face darkened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't settled the score with him about changing your college entrance exam application! According to my plan, all the training you received since childhood was aimed at sending you abroad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped mid-sentence and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have met Jiang Linyuan. I guess he did one decent thing. Just a guy from north of the river.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi chuckled at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mommy, you still don't understand me, just as I don't understand you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Xingnan University wasn't Daddy's decision—it was my own choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wanyu, I'm suddenly a little grateful to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought, then looked at the message that had come in on WeChat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Green Tea Lick Dogs Deserve to Die]: You're Su Muzhi, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, toys shouldn't be put away too early—otherwise, it's just too boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe]: Jiang-classmate's little sister has much better manners than he does. I think we'll get along well in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao stared at the reply on her phone and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was way too self-centered, wasn't she? Who talks to themselves like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe]: Also, you must have found out about me from Yu Songsong, right? Hehe, instead of focusing on me, you should pay more attention to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something about Yu Songsong too? I knew her attitude had changed way too obviously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yao Yao, what are you looking at? So seriously? Did Jiang Linyuan write you a love letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with short, sharp hair stood beside Jiang Zhiyao, poking her arm with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell! The moment you get to Jinling, you start talking nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao elbowed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a distinguished exchange student! Is this how rude you're going to be?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl glared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So distinguished, then why did you need me to pick you up at the station?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, too much luggage, and the courier is crazy expensive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you're using me as an overworked beast, huh! Huang Taoyan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao said grumpily, taking the luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan grinned, looking around left and right:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's Jiang Linyuan? Didn't he come with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a music festival at school lately. He's busy, so he couldn't come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao replied without turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A music festival~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan suddenly flashed an extremely vulgar expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw his social media moments. Tsk tsk, Xingnan Music Festival, with pictures of several girls dancing hot dances, pale white thighs—you don't have a problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's just normal promotion, alright! And the outfits in the pictures are normal too! Why are you so perverted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao punched her in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, been single too long. Sexually frustrated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Single? I remember a guy confessed to you back in high school. You two didn't stay in touch after?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan's face darkened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yao Yao, did you know that when that guy confessed, he had Jiang Linyuan come up with the plan for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, I never heard about that. That happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else? You think his confession speech was normal?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan clenched her teeth as if recalling a dark memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did he confess? You never told me about that either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao asked with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan looked furious and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy stood in front of me all domineering and said...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Yan Yan, I like you. For you, even if we have an orphan in the future, I wouldn't mind!'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later I found out Jiang Linyuan wrote that confession speech for him! My first time being confessed to, and it was ruined just like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angrier she got, the more ferocious her expression became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao lowered her head, a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That did sound like something Jiang Linyuan would say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then? How did you reject him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Taoyan smiled smugly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are you going to lose your whole family, so I can be your only support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, she really wondered how Huang Taoyan had managed to grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-05-30T05:23:37.527Z","2026-06-01T04:30:25.150Z",1,"novelbin.me","35f3df2aca66ccc53a64d69d47708d9f1157501408afec4a60c61efd5ff9cc55","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-103","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-101",155,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreen-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-cover.jpg"]
