My Adorable Lianyin

My Adorable Lianyin, Xiao Ke

"Lianyin, stop crying. Hurry and check how much money is left on your card!"

Ling Wanqing remained fairly calm. She pulled Gu Lianyin to the bank to check the balance.

After entering the password, the atmosphere fell silent when the displayed balance showed only a few hundred yuan remaining.

"Fuck!"

Ling Wanqing cursed on the spot.

A whole million yuan, reduced to just a few hundred!

"I'll contact your school and have them handle this!"

"High school seniors are already eighteen. They've reached the legal age for criminal sentencing!"

"Defrauding someone of a million yuan is a huge amount. It's enough to put him in prison, and that stain will never wash away for the rest of his life!"

Gu Lianyin listened in fear. "Wanqing, it's enough if he returns the money. There's no need to do this..."

"At a time like this, you're still protecting a man? What are you even thinking? Tell me, what kind of love potion did that Lin Yuan feed you?"

"I..."

Gu Lianyin was kind-hearted and simply could not bear to do that.

"Wait a minute. I have Lin Yuan's contact information. I'll ask him right now why he did this!"

As she spoke, Gu Lianyin took out her phone and opened the chat app.

Then she saw several unread messages from Lin Yuan.

She tapped them open.

Lin Yuan: "Lianyin, I think it's better to explain things clearly, so you won't misunderstand."

"Actually, it wasn't one hundred thousand, but one million. I used it all to buy stocks!"

"But don't worry. Tianhua Biotech Group's stock will surge tomorrow, and we'll make a lot of money then. Don't ask how I know. Just wait to collect the money!"

"Thank you for trusting me so much!"

Gu Lianyin stared at her phone for a long time without saying anything.

"He sent you messages? Let me see!" Ling Wanqing took Gu Lianyin's phone.

Then she fell into a daze.

It was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

So it had all been a misunderstanding.

Still, lending out a million yuan so casually was far too reckless.

Wasn't she afraid someone with ulterior motives would take the money and run?

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had explained it over the phone. Otherwise, if things had escalated, it would have been very damaging to Lin Yuan's reputation.

The huge weight in Gu Lianyin's heart finally lifted.

Classmate Lin Yuan hadn't approached me because of my money.

Her tears turned to a smile, leaving Ling Wanqing speechless beside her.

Could this girl have fallen for Lin Yuan?

Oh my God, our Lianyin is in love!

On the way back, the two talked at length about Lin Yuan.

As for the million yuan, Ling Wanqing had no say in it. It was not her money anyway.

"This is utterly ridiculous. You just handed a million yuan to Lin Yuan, and he used it all to buy stocks!"

"Tianhua Biotech Group? I've never even heard of it. He said that company's stock would skyrocket in the next few days, and you believed him?"

"Just wait. Don't come crying to me when you lose money!"

Gu Lianyin kept her head lowered as she was scolded, her red lips pressed tightly together.

She had just replied to Lin Yuan with only four brief words: I understand.

Lin Yuan quickly replied as well, with only two emojis: a kiss and a hug.

Ling Wanqing happened to see them. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she immediately exploded.

"Fine, Gu Lianyin! And you still dare say you're not dating!"

"He's already sending you kissing and hugging emojis. Let's see how you explain your way out of this now!"

"Just who is this Lin Yuan? How did he win you over so easily?"

She never could have imagined that her best friend would be pursued so quickly.

Although Lianyin had no dating experience and hardly any male friends, she could not have agreed the first time someone pursued her, right?

"Don't talk nonsense. Things between Lin Yuan and me really aren't as complicated as you think!"

Gu Lianyin hurriedly explained, but the more she explained, the less clear it became.

At least, Ling Wanqing did not believe her.

Now, even jumping into the Yellow River would not clear Gu Lianyin's name.

"Tell me honestly. Ask yourself—don't you feel anything for that Lin Yuan? Not even the tiniest bit of affection?"

Ling Wanqing stared into Gu Lianyin's eyes as she asked.

Gu Lianyin's gaze darted away. She hesitated before saying, "I do have a favorable impression of him. As for liking him..."

She thought carefully, unsure whether the feeling she had toward Lin Yuan truly counted as liking him.

Seeing that she could not say it, Ling Wanqing understood.

After returning home, Gu Lianyin took a shower and went back to her room to rest.

"You've gotten me into so much trouble!"

She immediately sent Lin Yuan a message.

He had sent her such intimate emojis for no reason, making her best friend misunderstand.

Lin Yuan: "??? What's wrong, my adorable Lianyin, Xiao Ke!"

"Pah, who's your Xiao Ke? You're giving me goosebumps."
