Jiang Linyuan hadn't even reached the bathroom door before he saw Lin Yilin curled up in the corner.
Her expression was deathly pale, and her lips lacked any hint of color.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so terrible?"
He asked.
"It's... it's nothing."
Seeing Jiang Linyuan, Lin Yilin's face flushed red, and she turned her head away as she spoke.
Why is this Binary Sister still hiding things from me?
"If you're not feeling well, just say so. You can go back and rest early."
"Mm-hmm..."
Lin Yilin's face turned even redder. It didn't look like she was sick; rather, she seemed embarrassed that he had caught her in this state.
Ah, I get it.
Jiang Linyuan suddenly realized:
"Is it your period?"
Lin Yilin's face turned red down to her ears, and she simply nodded. Why did he have to be so direct? It was so awkward!
"Did you finish taking care of things in the bathroom?"
Jiang Linyuan asked again.
Lin Yilin felt like her face was about to explode from the heat, and she muttered softly:
"Someone is inside."
The villa they rented had two bathrooms, one in the living room and another in the master bedroom, but the master bedroom was off-limits to them.
Jiang Linyuan raised an eyebrow:
"They haven't come out yet?"
Lin Yilin could only nod.
"I'll go check."
Jiang Linyuan felt something was wrong and walked straight to the bathroom door.
The door was locked.
He knocked directly:
"Is anyone in there? It's urgent."
"You scared me! My eyebrow pencil slipped!"
"Can't you see the door is locked!"
A dissatisfied female voice immediately rang out from inside the bathroom:
"Hold it in! I'm touching up my makeup in here."
Touching up your makeup, my foot—are you painting a corpse for a funeral?
It's been over twenty minutes; are you really just hogging the toilet without doing anything?
"Can you come out for a second? It's urgent."
Jiang Linyuan urged.
"Can men like you just drop dead? Don't you know how to be chivalrous to women? I'm not coming out."
The woman inside the bathroom immediately launched into a tirade.
Are you even a human? Why should I be chivalrous?
Jiang Linyuan rolled his eyes.
I feel like Xiang Yu; why are there so many Chu songs (idiots) surrounding me?
Jiang Linyuan couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on this woman.
Lockpicking Expert, activate!
"Junior, can I borrow your hairpin?"
Lin Yilin nodded blankly, took the hairpin from her hair, and handed it over:
"What are you doing, Senior?"
"Just watch."
Jiang Linyuan took his specialized tool and, without further ado, picked the lock!
The woman inside was still cursing:
"Average, confident men are so disgusting. You have absolutely no manners."
"Sigh, being in the same school as someone like you is truly unbearable."
"Are you in a rush? Well, I'm not opening the door."
The door was pried open by Jiang Linyuan.
"Did you come from Dunhuang? You've got more layers on your face than a mural."
As Jiang Linyuan pushed the door open, he saw the woman who was smugly patting foundation onto her face.
Before the woman could even react to the door opening, Jiang Linyuan grabbed her and yanked her out.
"Junior, you go in first."
Lin Yilin watched, stunned.
"What's wrong? Do you need me to go in and help you?"
Jiang Linyuan said with a smile.
Lin Yilin's face flushed red in an instant, and she said with some concern:
"Senior..."
"Do you really want me to help you?"
She didn't continue to ramble, instead walking quickly into the restroom and pulling the door shut.
"Ahhh! What are you doing!"
The woman who had been dragged out started off with a furious roar, large amounts of powder shaking off her trembling facial skin.
"Are you secretly filming me!"
Damn it, I've run into a truly delusional woman.
Might as well start a samurai duel right now.
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"Keep yapping and I'll slap you."
Jiang Linyuan frowned and said bluntly.
The woman looked up and saw Jiang Linyuan's face clearly; her originally fierce momentum instantly withered, and she stammered:
"Why are you here? Are you at this university too?"
Oh? To save her own skin, is she actually pretending to be an old acquaintance of mine?
"I'm sorry, I have some things to do, I... I'll be going now."
The woman didn't continue to pester Jiang Linyuan; she picked up the powder puff from the floor and fled in a panic.
"What... happened here?"
At this moment, Li Jianyi, who had heard the commotion, walked over and cast a strange look at the woman who looked like she had seen a ghost.
What's the situation?
"That person, she looks unfamiliar. Is she a new recruit for the Student Union?"
Jiang Linyuan looked at him and asked directly.
"Oh, her? A new member of the Organization Department."
Li Jianyi looked at Jiang Linyuan's expression and probed:
"A conflict?"
"If she had kept making a scene just now, then there would be."
Jiang Linyuan sneered.
"Haha."
Li Jianyi felt a bit awkward and could only say:
"She seems to be from the same high school as you, go easy on her."
From the same high school?
Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan felt a bit more understanding toward the woman's attitude.
Back in high school, he didn't handle himself as smoothly as he did now; his temper was quite volatile, essentially a "plus" version of a hot-headed youth.
Near graduation, he encountered a group of idiots engaging in school bullying, so he went straight at them.
The incident blew up quite a bit, and the nature of it was rather severe.
Come to think of it, did I beat that woman up in high school?
Jiang Linyuan thought about it.
He had hit too many people that day to remember.
"Senior, are you okay!"
During their chat, Lin Yilin had already run out, her pale face filled with worry.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Linyuan looked at Lin Yilin and said:
"Are you finished, junior?"
What did he mean by "finished"?
Lin Yilin was both angry and embarrassed.
After speaking, Jiang Linyuan looked at Li Jianyi:
"President, what kind of bottom-feeders has our Student Union been recruiting? Aren't you going to do something about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jianyi immediately began to vent his grievances:
"Because of that incident with Wang Yun last time, the school leadership specifically called me in for a talk, telling me to clean up the atmosphere in the Student Union."
"Isn't that just making things difficult for me? Everyone here is a college student; they only call me Student Union President out of respect."
"But if we're talking about real authority, I'm worth nothing."
Li Jianyi shook his head with a sigh. Seeing Jiang Linyuan and Lin Yilin standing together, he decided not to make a fool of himself and walked away alone.
"Senior, will that girl come looking for trouble with you later?"
Seeing that Li Jianyi had left, Lin Yilin stood beside Jiang Linyuan and asked with a worried expression.
Seeing Binary Sister so worried, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but tease her, putting on a miserable act:
"Junior, my future is ruined. That girl said she's going to cyberbully me. What should I do!"
As innocent as Lin Yilin was, she actually believed him and clenched her fists:
"That woman is too evil! Senior, I will always stand by your side! We'll call the police first, and then report the situation to the counselor..."
Seeing Lin Yilin start to think seriously, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but continue:
"Junior, the power of public opinion is terrifying. If I'm stuck with a tarnished reputation and people pointing fingers at me, it's going to be a huge problem for me when I look for a job or try to find a girlfriend in the future."
Lin Yilin's expression darkened when she heard this.
That's right, public opinion can kill.
If Senior were truly slandered by that girl and she spouted nonsense online, even if things were cleared up in the end, the damage caused to Senior would be indelible.
Senior ended up like this because of me! I have an obligation to take responsibility!
Thinking of this, Lin Yilin raised her head and said earnestly:
"It's okay, you can come work at my family's company when the time comes. I'll discuss it with my dad."
"As for a girlfriend..."
When she reached this point, her face turned red. She lowered her head, stealing glances at Jiang Linyuan from the corner of her eye, and whispered:
"I... I..."
Haha, this is too fun! This little junior!
Watching Binary Sister's reaction, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing him laughing for no reason, Lin Yilin realized she had been played. She puffed up her cheeks, her face flushed crimson:
"Senior can just go and live the rest of your life alone!"
"What about the job you mentioned for our dad?"
"Who's 'our dad'! That's my dad! And you're not getting the job either! I'll have you sent off to be a homeless person!"
"Boo hoo, how heartless."
"Who told you to tease me, Senior!"
Lin Yilin's face was glowing red. She glared at Jiang Linyuan's grinning face with her eyes, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.
Minister Shen was right!
Senior Jiang just loves to tease girls!
