Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin Are Dating!

Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin Are Dating!

Lin Yuan had not expected to sleep in the villa until nearly noon.

It was too late to rush to school now.

So there was no point in being anxious.

Since the villa was some distance from the school, Lin Yuan decided to keep living in the dormitory and only stay at the villa for a night or two occasionally during holidays.

He first used his phone to explain the reason for his tardiness to the teacher.

His excuse was that he had gone home to handle something last night, stayed busy until very late, and had been so exhausted that he overslept.

The teacher merely said a few words and did not pursue the matter.

So he did not go to his afternoon classes either.

He lay comfortably on the big bed and went back to sleep.

During that time, Gu Lianyin replied to his message.

"Even pigs can't sleep as much as you!"

Lin Yuan sent her a head-knocking emoji in reply.

As they chatted, a friend with a cartoon avatar sent him a message.

Lin Yuan had saved her contact as "Superstar Lin Qingyue."

Superstar Lin Qingyue: "My concert is less than half a month away. Remember to come!"

"Also, thank you so much for what happened yesterday. Without you, I might not even know whether I'd be alive or dead now."

Lin Yuan rapidly typed a reply. "Sis, don't think about such bad things. I'll definitely go to your concert when the time comes. You said you'd treat me to a meal!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Mhm!"

"I need to get back to work. If you ever run into any trouble, come find your sister. If I ever say no, then I won't be Lin Qingyue!"

After ending the chat, Lin Yuan smiled.

He actually knew Lin Qingyue, had even saved her, and had her contact information. No one would probably believe it if he told them!

He then checked today's stocks.

Tianhua Biotech Group's stock had surged for several consecutive days, shocking many people.

Some quick-handed people had already bought in, while others were still hesitating, worried that the stock would crash right after they bought it.

After doing the math, Lin Yuan had already made more than four hundred thousand from his one million investment.

If he split it fifty-fifty with Gu Lianyin, he would receive more than two hundred thousand.

It was not as much as the fifty-million villa the system had given him, but the villa was real estate. He could not sell it and only had lifetime usage rights.

He spent another day at the villa.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan got up early and took a taxi to school.

The moment he entered the classroom, the previously lively room suddenly fell silent.

Every student present looked at him strangely.

Lin Yuan frowned, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

Heh heh, you finally came. Today, I'll make you lose all face and turn you into a famous figure at school!

Lin Yuan heard the class monitor, Xue Hongyun's, inner thoughts.

He thought to himself that what was coming had finally come.

But what exactly would her revenge be?

He saw that Gu Lianyin was already in the classroom, with her head resting on the desk.

Lin Yuan walked over and sat beside her.

"Lin Yuan, I heard you're dating Gu Lianyin. Is that true?"

A mischievous male student from the back row asked with a curious look on his face.

"Why even ask? They're definitely dating. The two of them are inseparable after class, and they always leave school together, chatting and laughing. The whole class knows they're together!"

"Damn, Lin Yuan, your taste is pretty heavy. You can even go for someone as ugly as Gu Lianyin. Respect, respect."

Several poor students who loved making noise in class chimed in.

They had been instructed by the class monitor, Xue Hongyun, and had received some benefits, which was why they were doing this.

Their goal was to let the entire class know that Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin were dating.

Then it would spread until the entire school knew. By then, this scandal would be enough to utterly ruin Lin Yuan's reputation.

The key was not that the school forbade students from dating, but that Lin Yuan had found an ugly girl as his girlfriend.

Lin Yuan frowned.

From their conversation, he understood what had happened.

He and Gu Lianyin were dating?

Heh.

He wished it were true.

A graceful lady was sought after by gentlemen, and he was no exception.

Besides, Gu Lianyin's true appearance was enough to make her the school beauty.

If she removed her disguise, who knew how many more suitors and secret admirers she would gain.

"Lianyin, don't care about what others say. Certain people want to see us panic."

"So not only should we not lose our composure, we should stay calm and act as if nothing happened."

Lin Yuan spoke softly into Gu Lianyin's ear.

Gu Lianyin slowly raised her head.

Her eyes were a little red.

When she saw Lin Yuan's familiar face, the grievance in her heart seemed ready to burst forth all at once.

"Don't cry. If you cry, you'll be giving those people who want to laugh at us exactly what they want!"

Lin Yuan gently used his sleeve to wipe away the tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

Seeing this scene, the students became even more convinced that the two were dating, and their jeering grew louder.

"Lin Yuan, I'm the one who got you involved. I'm sorry!"

Gu Lianyin sniffled softly.

But Lin Yuan was stunned.

Obviously, I'm the one who got you involved. How did it become you getting me involved instead?
