After The Web Novel Great God Transmigrated As A Scummy Online Dating Top - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Zhou Jiajia was a remarkably carefree soul. The moment she boarded the plane, she wrapped herself in a blanket and slept soundly.

Lin Muxue didn’t share that luxury. Even in her previous life, traveling with assistants, she never let her guard down completely—let alone with an unreliable travel companion like Jiajia. Since the flight had Wi-Fi, she chatted with her “Night Owl” friend for a while, urged her to get some rest, and then spent the remainder of the flight reviewing the game materials for her new voice-acting gig.

By the time they landed, Lin Muxue had to act like a mother duck, waking a dazed Zhou Jiajia and guiding her through the airport so she wouldn’t wander off.

When they finally checked into the hotel at 4:00 AM, Jiajia tried to lean her head on Muxue’s shoulder to act cute.

“Muxue, I’m so glad you’re here—”

Lin Muxue dodged her with the reflexes of a ninja, eyeing her warily. “Don’t even think about wiping the oil on your face onto my clothes.”

Zhou Jiajia froze, wiped her face, and saw the sheen on her fingertips. Her round face crumpled in realization. She had walked from the airport to a luxury hotel looking like a glazed donut.

Lin Muxue patted her sleeve, relieved. Good thing I moved fast.

The “Morning” Spam

Since the “friendship match” was the day after tomorrow, they had two free days. Lin Muxue slept until 11:00 AM. When she finally woke up, her phone was vibrating with a mountain of unread messages from Sweet Orange Meow.

Lin Muxue rubbed her temples. Does this girl ever run out of battery? We were chatting late last night, yet she started messaging again at 7:00 AM.

She went through her morning routine—showering and dressing—before checking the messages while knocking on Jiajia’s door. Over twenty photos loaded onto her screen.

Sweet Orange Meow: Morning Ah-Xue! The weather is great today. Look at the sunrise I saw! Photo.jpg Sweet Orange Meow: These new shoes are rubbing against my heels. Beauty truly comes at a price. QAQ Photo.jpg Sweet Orange Meow: Wearing my lucky bracelet today~ Photo.jpg

The photos were a complete catalog of Chu Meng’s day so far. She looked “fully armed”—not dressed for a date, but rather like a soldier preparing for a major offensive.

Lin Muxue responded to every single photo with care, finally asking: Where are you going today? You’re up so early and so… well-equipped.

There was no reply.

Zhou Jiajia opened her door just as Lin Muxue’s fist was mid-air. Muxue accidentally rapped her right on the forehead.

“Muxue! Why are you knocking on my brain?” Jiajia pouted, rubbing her forehead.

Lin Muxue apologized while trying to hide a smile. “Sorry, I was looking at my phone. Ready? Lunch is on me—Chinese, Western, or Japanese?”

…

The “Goddess” vs. The “Brother”

At the restaurant, Zhou Jiajia spent twenty minutes taking “food porn” photos and editing them for Weibo while the food got cold.

“Muxue, you gained so many fans during the Black Cat streaming event,” Jiajia said between bites. “Why haven’t you started a fan-service Weibo to keep them engaged?”

Lin Muxue shrugged. “I have my ‘Mu Qianshan’ account. Besides, Black Cat is for streaming and P-Station is for my CV work. That’s enough.”

Jiajia was about to argue when she gasped, scrolling through her feed. She thrust her phone in front of Muxue’s face. “Look! It’s the DM Team’s arrival photo! Look at A-Du on the far left! Isn’t he handsome? Look at that melancholic profile!”

Lin Muxue leaned back to look. She saw a slightly chubby, average-looking young man. She looked at Jiajia, then back at the photo.

“I’ll let you keep ‘your brother’ all to yourself,” Muxue said diplomatically.

“He’s so unique! You can pick him out of a crowd instantly!” Jiajia gushed.

Lin Muxue remained silent. To her, the person who stood out was the girl in the DM team’s skirt uniform—even in a passing glance, the girl’s “cool and beautiful” aura was unforgettable.

Search History: How to Handle a Sulking “Girlfriend”

Lin Muxue checked her phone again. Still no reply from Sweet Orange Meow.

Did I wait too long to reply? Is she mad?

Unsure how to apologize naturally, Lin Muxue did what any modern person does: she consulted the internet. She found a thread:

Q: My girlfriend was all “Morning” and “Mwah Mwah” earlier, but now she’s ignoring me. I’m definitely in the doghouse. Do I apologize first, or what? HELP! URGENT!

Lin Muxue tilted her head. Except for the “girlfriend” label, this is exactly my situation.

Ten seconds later, she was intently studying the top-voted answers.
