My Husband Seems to be a Big Villain

After Xu Ling handed the meal card and textbooks to Su Mu, she took him to the dormitory.

The student dormitories at Imperial University were located in the northern part of the campus, featuring a simple and clean architectural style with complete facilities. Due to the high housing prices in the capital city, most students basically lived in the dormitories and rarely lived outside, so the rooms have always been in short supply.

As Su Mu transferred to the university midway through the term, the dormitories in his department were already full. Xu Ling could only arrange for him to stay in another department’s dormitory, fortunately, it was a department she was also in charge with.

The dormitory was located on the 6th floor. It was a small apartment for four people. The room was quite spacious, with beds on top and desks and cabinets below. There was also a long rectangular table in the middle. The toilet and shower rooms were separated, both close to the door. There was even a small balcony outside for drying clothes. Overall, it was a pretty good.

When they entered the room, they found someone inside packing up his things, and the person was startled when he heard Xu Ling’s voice.

“Bo, boss?”

Xu Ling smiled: “Zhang Fan, didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well? Why aren’t you lying in bed?”

Zhang Fan’s eyes wandered, not daring to look at her. “I came down to go to the bathroom.”

Xu Ling didn’t expose him and glanced at the messy bed on the right and frowned: “Didn’t I tell you all to tidy up your things? Someone is moving in.”

“Xu Zhe came back late last night and didn’t have time to tidy up.”

Xu Ling glanced at her watch. Seeing that it was still class time, she said to him, “Send him a message and let him know that his things are put on the table.”

Zhang Fan let out an ‘ah’ and hurriedly took out his phone, pressing it a few times. After sending the message, he glanced at Su Mu and then at Sun Hao, as if he was struggling with whom to greet first.

Su Mu took a step forward and introduced himself: “Hello, I’m Su Mu, your new roommate.” After he finished speaking, he glanced down at the student ID card in his hand and added: “International Politics…Economics Department.”

Zhang Fan revealed a slight dimple on his left cheek, “Hello, I’m Zhang Fan from the International Politics Department. I’m quite familiar with your department. We’ve taken many classes together. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”

Su Mu majored in Law during his undergraduate studies and wasn’t familiar with the major Grandpa Su arranged for him. Hearing this, he smiled and replied, “That’s great. Thank you.”

Xu Ling turned around, then pointed to the bed piled with things and said to Su Mu: “This is your bed. Zhang Fan is also a student under my supervision. Like you, he is also a sophomore in the Institute of International Relations. If there’s anything going on in the dorm, just tell him about it.”

After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and said, “Add me on WeChat. I’ll add you to the group chat of your department later.”

Su Mu hurriedly took out his phone and scanned Xu Ling’s QR code.

After Xu Ling finished adding him, she looked at Zhang Fan and said, “You help Su Mu organize his things, then take him around the campus when you’re done. I’ll forget about the lie you told to take a leave today.”

Zhang Fan nodded quickly: “Don’t worry, Boss. I promise to complete the task.”

Su Mu felt that Xu Ling was easy to talk to, probably because she was young and not excessively strict or harsh with students. She seemed easygoing and approachable.

After Xu Ling explained some things to Su Mu, she left in a hurry.

As soon as she left, Zhang Fan, who had skipped class due to ‘illness’, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, tilting his head and looking at Su Mu secretly. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this person was good-looking, with handsome features and a good temperament.

Seeing Su Mu open his suitcase to unpack, he hurried over and pointed to the long table in the middle of the dormitory, saying enthusiastically, “You can put his things here, but be careful not to mess up his stuff.”

Su Mu’s table was really messy, there were a lot of things on top. Besides books, there were also some bottles and jars that looked like various instant noodles and sauces.

Sun Hao glanced at the pile of things and sneered, “It’s already so messy. I doubt it can get any worse. Knowing that someone would move in, but still didn’t bother to clean up. Is this an act of arrogance?”

Zhang Fan blushed suddenly, feeling somewhat at a loss.

He really didn’t mean that, but although he didn’t, he knew that his roommate, Zhao Xuzhe, was very dissatisfied with the sudden arrangement of a new person in the dormitory.

What he said just now was out of good intentions, for fear that Su Mu would accidentally mess up something, and the two of them would have an unpleasant quarrel later.

Although Su Mu and Sun Hao didn’t have much contact with each other, he had a bit of an understanding of this person’s character. He didn’t seem easy to talk to, but he was not a bad person, and the most important thing was that he was fiercely protective of those close to him.

Typical of that kind of family members with issues: our own family may not like one another among ourselves, but others are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have talked so much to him last night, reminding him of various precautions.

Thinking of this, he changed the subject in a timely manner: “Is there a supermarket nearby? I’m going to do some shopping.”

Zhang Fan nodded hurriedly, “Yes, it’s right next to the dormitory. How about you go shopping, and I’ll organize his things for you?”

Su Mu thanked him and left downstairs with Sun Hao.

Sun Hao still had classes in the afternoon, so he hadn’t planned to stay here for too long. However, seeing the incident in the dormitory, he was worried that Su Mu might suffer, so he frowned and asked, “Are you okay staying here by yourself?”

Su Mu smiled: “I’ll be fine. Thank you for your help today.”

Sun Hao curled his lips, not saying anything more, and reach out to pull the car door. When he got into the car, he didn’t leave in a hurry. He poked his head out of the car window and said in a cold tone: “If someone really bullies you, don’t be cowardly… If you can’t beat them, just call me.”

Su Mu’s heart warmed. He felt that this person, like that fierce old man, had a temperament of cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

He waved his hand: “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Pay attention to safety on the road…”

Sun Hao snorted coldly and ignored him, then drove away with a sullen face.

Seeing him driving away, Su Mu stood on the steps, his hands in his pockets, looking at the campus.

Speaking of which, in his original world, he didn’t have many attachments or ties.

Since he was a lone soul, it didn’t really matter where he was; it seemed like there was no difference…

He smiled, and in that moment, he felt completely relieved in his heart.

Su Mu carried several large bags of fruits back to the dormitory.

Tidying up things was a big task, but fortunately, he was used to living alone, so he can tidy up quickly.

Moreover, he didn’t have many things because this place wasn’t far from where he lived. It would only take him about half an hour to walk, and even less time by bicycle. The school doesn’t check the dormitories at night, so if something is really missing, he could go back and get it at any time.

Su Mu quickly set up the mosquito net and arranged his bed. The tabletop was also cleaned with Zhang Fan’s help.

He gave the other party a bag of yogurt and fruits he bought from the supermarket.

Zhang Fan is a southerner, fair and slim. He was a little shy when they first met, but he was very warm-hearted. After receiving the things, he felt a little sorry, so he took his meal card and invited Su Mu to the cafeteria to have a meal.

Su Mu didn’t refuse and responded with a smile.

He was already good-looking, but when he had a gentle smile on his face, it was quite stunning.

Zhang Fan stood there, staring at his face in a daze. After a while, he turned his head away with a slightly red face.

The two of them strolled to the school’s second cafeteria. At this time, most students were still in class, so there weren’t many people in the cafeteria.

There were a few people who were quite old and spoke in dialect. Su Mu glanced at them curiously and felt that they were not at all like the students here.

“They are visitors here to tour the campus. Our university’s campus is famous in the country, and it’s also the top institution of higher learning in the country. Many people come here because of its reputation. You’ll get used to it later on.”

Su Mu nodded and carried his tray  together with Zhang Fan to a seat by the window on the second floor.

Sitting there, he suddenly felt as if he had returned to his university days.

In fact, this feeling wasn’t bad at all. After going through the high pressure of working at 966, he suddenly returned to the comfortable student days. It’s very interesting to think about.

Zhang Fan was very easy to get along with. At first, Su Mu thought he was very shy because he blushed easily. But now, after getting to know him better, he felt like he had misjudged him entirely.

This guy turned out to be quite talkative, the kind who especially enjoyed gossiping.

“Don’t think that the boss is easy to talk to, in fact, she’s very formidable and can be really scary when angry. But she’s pretty nice overall. As long as you don’t go too far, she’s willing to grant favors like granting leaves. It’s not the same as the instructor from the neighboring Foreign Languages Department, who basically doesn’t approve leaves for anything other than weddings and funerals…”

Su Mu listened and remembered it in his heart.

At this time, two girls walked in through the staircase. Both of them were very good-looking, especially the girl on the right, who was wearing a long skirt and had a particularly sweet smile. She’s a bit like a female celebrity in his previous world.

Su Mu was curious for a moment and couldn’t help taking a few more glances.

Zhang Fan followed his gaze, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: “You like her? I thought you were like me…”

His voice was very low, quickly drowned out by the voices from the next table. Su Mu didn’t hear clearly and only caught the first half of the sentence.

He thought that Zhang Fan misunderstood that he was interested in those two girls, so he hurriedly explained: “No, I just think the girls in our school are pretty good-looking. I was just looking, there’s no other meaning.”

Zhang Fan took a sip of the soy milk through the straw and nodded, “There are indeed quite a few beauties in our school. If we combine the students from both the North and South campuses, there are dozens of flowers in the garden department [1]. But if we talk about the most beautiful and temperamental one, it could only be Cheng Shuyu. She is the acknowledged goddess of our school!”

Su Mu’s interest was piqued. He casually asked, “Goddess? Is she even more beautiful than the girl we saw earlier?”

Zhang Fan slowly took out his phone and went to the campus BBS [2], pointing to the photo on the screen and showing it to him: “These two girls can’t even compare to Cheng Shuyu. See for yourself!”

Su Mu hurriedly took the phone and saw a girl on the screen with fair skin, bright teeth, and vermilion lips. Especially her eyes, they were like a clear spring, which was very attractive.

“No beauty filter applied. She looks even better in person than in the photo.” Zhang Fan added leisurely, puffing his cheeks as he bit on the straw.

Su Mu stared at the photo for a long time, and he had to admit that this girl was indeed very beautiful and had a graceful presence. Even though it was just a photo, at first glance, she seemed even more stunning than any female celebrity he had seen before.

Seeing that he was seriously looking at the photo, Zhang Fan waved his hand in front of his eyes: “Stop looking. No matter how much you look, you won’t be able to pursue her. Goddess Cheng has been engaged since childhood. She has a fiancé.”

Su Mu’s heart moved. He asked tentatively, “Fiancé?”

Zhang Fan nodded, “I heard that the man has had a crush on her since they were kids, and their families knew each other, so the elders arranged their engagement. But from what I’ve heard, that man went abroad and hasn’t come back for a long time.”

Su Mu’s expression became somewhat subtle. He asked persistently, “Is Cheng Shuyu from the Imperial Capital [3]?”

“En, she’s a local.”

“Then do you know what her fiancé looks like?”

“I really don’t know about this, but no matter what he looks like, in front Cheng Shuyu’s admirers, this person is like a toad who wants to eat swan meat.” Zhang Fan said and then paused for a moment. He leaned closer to the table and reminded Su Mu: “I forgot to tell you, this matter is a taboo. It’s fine to talk about it privately, but never bring it up in front of Cheng Shuyu. She doesn’t like others talking about it…”

Su Mu nodded indiscriminately, his brain spinning rapidly.

Abroad? Got engaged? Families knowing each other? This… This must be about the original owner!

It turns out that the fiancé looks like this. No wonder that guy was so desperate to come back.

If it were him…

He glanced furtively at the photo.

This appearance… If he were the original owner, well, he would also probably rush back…

Hey, wait, who is a toad?

Su Mu turned his head and glanced at the figure on the window. He angrily defended the original owner: “Calling him a toad is too exaggerated. If that was really the case, Cheng Shuyu’s family wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement. That person’s conditions should…not be bad!”

Zhang Fan wasn’t too concerned about Cheng Shuyu’s matters and hummed when he heard the words: “Who knows, but no matter what he looks like, with Fu Cheng around, Cheng Shuyu can’t even look at him.”

Su Mu frowned: “Fu Cheng?”

Who is this?

Zhang Fan met Su Mu’s blank stare and suddenly widened his eyes. He had a ghostly expression on his face: “You, you don’t even know Fu Cheng!”

Su Mu looked puzzled. He doesn’t even know his future wife, why would he need to know Fu Cheng?
