Given Liu Tingting's level of sophistication, could something like this really trouble her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hah, not very broad-minded, but full of schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this to himself, he still pretended to be concerned and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, do you need my help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tingting sighed again and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not really the troublesome part. The troublesome part is that boy's girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, so he already has a girlfriend! What kind of legendary person is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, you mean the boy pursuing you already has a girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tingting nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan leaned back in a tactical retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, you can't hide loving one person, but if you love two, you better hide it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't his girlfriend break up with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tingting rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He told me he's already done with that girl, but the girl doesn't seem to think so. She's been causing trouble for me at the badminton club these past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she sighed again, observing Jiang Linyuan's expression out of the corner of her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's a freshman, she just joined the badminton club recently. I've been really troubled by this lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, now I get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-distance relationship victim has come for a solo takedown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan looked at Liu Tingting, still puzzled inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending this time together, he had a decent understanding of Liu Tingting's level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of hero could possibly wear her down like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, is that girl... difficult to deal with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan directly voiced his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tingting showed a troubled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that she's hard to deal with, she's... rather unique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're coming to observe the badminton club training camp tomorrow, right? You'll find out then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan frowned. Could it be a Su Muzhi number two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, when Jiang Linyuan arrived at the badminton court, he finally understood what Liu Tingting meant by 'unique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, he saw a bold sister standing in the middle of the court with a cigarette in her mouth, seemingly arguing with Liu Tingting about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Classmate Zhuang Yan, smoking isn't allowed here. Many students can't stand the smell. Could you put out the cigarette?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the rough woman in front of her, Liu Tingting forced a smile and advised softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman standing before her took a deep drag upon hearing this and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your damn business. I love smoking. Keep yapping, and I won't smoke the cigarette, I'll smoke you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tingting's face stiffened, her expression turning very unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan, watching from the side, was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awesome, this is a warrior! No wonder Liu Tinguan couldn't handle it. Forget her, even Sister Jade from the Northeast might not be able to subdue her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me check the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Target: Zhuang Yan; Bad Woman Quality: D]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa, there's contrast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I smoke, have tattoos, and swear a lot, I'm still an innocent, romantic good girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this kind of contrast right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan couldn't bear to look, shaking his head and sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Classmate Jiang, your first reaction upon seeing me today is to sigh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi, standing beside him, raised her eyelashes, blinking her big eyes, putting on a teacherly air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't do. That's a major point deduction here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deducting major... manure? That's too heavy a taste, sis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan turned his head to look at Su Muzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short skirt, slender waist, willow-leaf eyebrows, a beauty, a beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she's a cringe woman, she's still quite easy on the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ew, the male gaze is really disgusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if noticing Jiang Linyuan's gaze, Su Muzhi covered her chest with both hands, adopting a guarded posture, looking Jiang Linyuan up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Su, the first time we met, when you 'accidentally' splashed water to sneak a peek at my abs, your eyes were much more passionate than mine are now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the water really was accidentally splashed that day. Besides, I didn't want to see your abs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You splashed water on my abdomen! If not to see my abs, then what did you want to see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through his sentence, he paused, looked down at his abdomen, then followed the line of his clothes downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked up, staring at Su Muzhi with great alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't want to see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Linyuan like this, Su Muzhi's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can this person be so absurd?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah, I'm not interested in toothpicks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen it to call it a toothpick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Muzhi, after all, was a girl. Her skin wasn't as thick as Jiang Linyuan's. She was the first to lose composure, wanting to end the topic quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Classmate Jiang, if you keep talking like this, I'll post about you on Little X Book, saying you sexually harassed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it. You're a virtual keyboard warrior on the internet too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, you post me on Little X Book, I'll post you on Tieba.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan shrugged indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Muzhi's eyes darted sideways, and a smile suddenly reappeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Classmate Jiang sounds like you do this often. Have you posted about others before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, as if thinking of something, her expression changed. Her lively eyes darted around. She tugged at Jiang Linyuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me secretly, have you posted about Shen Wanyu before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, alright, still trying to slander me, huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Muzhi's attitude, Jiang Linyuan shook his head disdainfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure entering the badminton court—Shen Wanyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, Su Muzhi, you really want me dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bad woman! You are the real bad woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan pushed Su Muzhi away and declared righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't slander people! Regarding the Minister, I have only two words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loyalty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he acted as if he had just noticed Shen Wanyu, pretending to be embarrassed and lowering his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, isn't this the Minister? You didn't hear what I just said, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wanyu just looked at Jiang Linyuan quietly, not saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, she spoke calmly, as if she hadn't heard anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came to take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pointed to the group of people behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Linyuan, take these new members and familiarize them with the work of the External Liaison Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Jiang Linyuan notice several people following behind Shen Wanyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was a familiar face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, Binary Little Sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yilin also saw Jiang Linyuan, broke into a smile, and waved at him excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wanyu noticed this, frowned slightly, and said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you and Su Muzhi are up to, I don't care. Just don't lay a hand on the new department members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan waved a hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister, what kind of person do you take me for? Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their own burrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wanyu scoffed, stared into his eyes, and left a crisp, straightforward sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, without even a glance at Su Muzhi beside her, she turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-05-30T05:23:37.247Z","2026-06-01T04:30:25.150Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2fbcddb234856c9071395d8494252f4fa562a44ea3aad327d5d54a1729c8f5a","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-63","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-15",155,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreen-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-cover.jpg"]
