Torturing Binary Sister

A week had passed since the reward card dropped from Liu Tingting.

During this week, Jiang Linyuan used the Wall Street Pervert to step, one by one, onto the stairway to godhood in the stock market.

The shy red lines of the stocks were slowly being breached by him, revealing their alluring forms bit by bit.

Got it! Got it! Both poetry and the distance were now within his grasp!

Yeah, I am destined to become an peerless stock god!

"Senior, are you free tonight?"

Just as Jiang Linyuan was admiring his magnificent empire, a text message interrupted his train of thought.

It was Binary Sister.

"What is it?"

"...I promised to treat you to a meal, Senior! You didn't forget, did you!"

Jiang Linyuan was startled, jolting upright like a dying man suddenly brought back to life.

Had he forgotten?

He had.

These past few days, he had been busy flirting with Miss Stock, and the cold growth of his account balance had gradually chilled his heart, causing him to neglect the warmth of real life.

Money truly is the root of all evil!

It ruins my path of cultivation!

"Junior, send me the location, I'll be there right away."

When Jiang Linyuan stepped into the KFC, he spotted Lin Yilin sitting there alone at a glance.

Her delicate mouth was pursed slightly, forming a cold, sharp arc, and her expression was serious and earnest, giving off an impression that she wasn't easy to get along with.

Binary Sister, currently feeling gloomy.

"Haha, you're dressed very beautifully today, Junior."

Jiang Linyuan greeted her with a grin, taking the initiative.

Lin Yilin kept her face taut:

"If you had remembered that I was supposed to treat you, I might have been happy to hear that."

After saying this, she shook her head and asked directly:

"What would you like to eat, Senior?"

That was the good thing about Binary Sister; her emotions came and went quickly.

Unlike a certain petty, smiling tiger.

Jiang Linyuan ordered a few things at random, then asked:

"Have you adapted to university life lately, Junior?"

Lin Yilin nodded:

"It's been much easier than I imagined."

After she finished, she looked at Jiang Linyuan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Junior, if there's anything you want to say, feel free to speak your mind."

Jiang Linyuan noticed her hesitation and pointed it out directly.

After hearing this, Lin Yilin spoke with some hesitation:

"These past few days, I've heard more or less some... um, rumors about you, Senior."

"My reputation precedes me, for better or worse. The past is the past, and now I'm a pervert."

Jiang Linyuan said straightforwardly.

People have their own mouths, and there's no way to control them.

Rather than internalizing the stress, it's better to blame others.

Hearing Jiang Linyuan's words, Lin Yilin couldn't keep her small face straight anymore and said with mock seriousness:

"It's just that many people are saying you're a green tea simp... uh, I mean, they say you always meet the wrong people, and every girl you like isn't a good match. It's too much, these kinds of rumors."

"Eh, green tea simp, you don't have to be so careful with your words, Junior."

Jiang Linyuan said, not caring in the slightest.

"How can you say that!"

Lin Yilin raised her eyebrows and said with complete earnestness:

"They are slandering you, Senior! Adding all these strange rumors to you for no reason! Isn't that terrible? You should go and clear your name!"

"..."

Looking at her earnest little face, Jiang Linyuan turned his head away and coughed:

"Then let me clarify: what they said isn't a rumor."

Lin Yilin, who had been full of momentum just a moment ago, was instantly stunned. She opened her mouth slightly and asked in disbelief:

"Really?"

"Really."

Wow, what is going on!

I thought the senior had that unshakable, stoic image, which is why he ignored those words. Turns out he didn't say anything because the truth was impossible to refute!!

Seeing Lin Yilin fall silent, Jiang Linyuan looked proud:

"Hahaha, so if you ever run into Little Green Tea, you must introduce her to me."

What is this guy talking about?

Lin Yilin looked at Jiang Linyuan blankly, unable to understand what he meant at all.

After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out:

"Senior, you need to have some self-respect."

Hehe, this Binary Sister is so cute.

After spending so much time with a trashy woman like Su Muzhi, looking at this innocent junior made Jiang Linyuan feel refreshed and relaxed.

Lin Yilin suddenly seemed to think of something; her face flushed slightly, her eyes darted away, and she looked a bit embarrassed.

"Then is it also true that Department Head Shen said you like to harass girls?"

Hmm? This kid is a bit dense. Do you realize that one sentence just offended two people?

Jiang Linyuan said earnestly:

"Department Head Shen is actually a tsundere. Nine times out of ten, what she says is the opposite of what she means."

"This must be her excuse for being too shy to express her passion for me."

Ts... tsundere?

The image of Shen Wanyu's ice-cold face surfaced in Lin Yilin's mind; she couldn't imagine her being shy at all.

"Yes, don't let her 'stay away' attitude fool you. She's actually incredibly enthusiastic toward me. She took the initiative to buy me coffee and even sent me red envelopes to pursue me."

Jiang Linyuan sighed with emotion:

"See, she must have a crush on me but is too embarrassed to say it directly. She probably thinks a junior like you might threaten her position, which is why she intentionally bad-mouthed me."

Is... is that right?

Lin Yilin shook her head, her face taut:

"Senior, are you spouting nonsense again!"

"I'm telling the truth. You're so beautiful, full of charm, and have such a great personality—it's not impossible for me to fall for you, so the department head being worried is only natural."

Jiang Linyuan said with a grin.

Having been a good girl since childhood, Lin Yilin had never heard such direct words. Her neck and ears turned bright red, and she said, both shy and angry:

"I would never like you, Senior!"

"Eh, have I been rejected? How heartbreaking. I feel like transferring to Hogwarts."

"Senior!!!!"

The Binary Sister let out a sharp shriek, her face turning so red she was practically a steam engine!

"Hahaha, alright, I'll stop. The food seems ready; I'll go get it."

Seeing this, Jiang Linyuan didn't say anything more. He laughed it off and turned to leave.

Hmm, threat neutralized.

They say the "hero saves the beauty" trope never goes out of style, and it's not an exaggeration.

A girl who has just entered university faces unfair treatment, but at that moment, a handsome guy stands up, stands in front of you, and speaks up for you.

More or less, there will be some beautiful fantasies.

If Lin Yilin were a bad woman, Jiang Linyuan wouldn't mind continuing.

But since she's just an innocent girl, there's no need to mess with her.

By now, my image in the Binary Sister's heart must be a total disaster.

Wow, wow, wow! This senior, he only knows how to tease me!

Too frivolous! And to think I used to believe he was a particularly reliable and mature person!

Lin Yilin watched Jiang Linyuan's back and patted her own face.

So hot.

She turned her head away to avoid looking at him, but couldn't help but sneak a glance anyway.

Even though she was just looking at his back, that was all she dared to do.

I can't see how red my face is, but the senior must have seen it.

Thinking this, she felt a little anxious, and her face turned even redder.
