Beautiful Ling Wanqing, Gu Lianyin Got Angry

Beautiful Ling Wanqing, Gu Lianyin Got Angry

Lin Yuan was quite surprised this time.

What surprised him was not the system's sudden appearance.

It was that there were actually four choices this time.

Every choice required him to sign up for the campus singing competition.

The higher his ranking, the more generous the reward.

He figured that since he was entering the singing competition anyway, he might as well choose the one with the best reward.

So he chose the fourth option without hesitation.

The moment he finished making his choice, it felt as though something had exploded inside his head. A stabbing pain shot through him, and his face twisted in pain.

[Host has completed the selection. Reward issued in advance!]

[If the host ultimately fails to meet the mission requirements, the reward will be reclaimed by the system!]

Two previously unreleased songs appeared in his mind, with nearly perfect melody, lyrics, and meaning.

He also gained god-tier mastery over Hou Yi, the hero from Honor of Kings.

On top of that, Lin Yuan mastered all kinds of singing techniques, including pronunciation and breath control.

Most importantly, after being altered by the system, his voice would sound exceptionally pleasant whenever he sang.

When Gu Lianyin saw Lin Yuan shaking his head, she thought he did not want to join the singing competition.

But what Lin Yuan said next struck her as unbearably arrogant.

"I'm afraid that if I join, no one will be my match."

Lin Yuan put on the air of a lonely master, making Gu Lianyin want to punch him hard.

"You're bragging without even drafting a script. If no one can beat you, then sign up!"

Gu Lianyin's face was full of disbelief.

"Fine, then I'll sign up. First place will be easy."

"Keep bragging!"

"You don't believe me?"

"No!"

"Then let's make a bet. If I win first place in the singing competition, you'll agree to one condition of mine. If I don't win first place, I'll agree to one condition of yours!"

"Fine!"

Was there really such a good deal?

Gu Lianyin agreed at once.

She was afraid Lin Yuan would change his mind.

It was not that she looked down on Lin Yuan, but that she believed in her own abilities.

Besides, how could first place be so easy to get?

The school was full of hidden talents. Who knew whether some expert might show up?

Gu Lianyin was already considering what condition she should demand from Lin Yuan.

Since they had made a bet, Lin Yuan raised his hand from his seat and signed up for the singing competition with the homeroom teacher.

"Lin Yuan, you can sing too? Alright, I'll add your name."

The homeroom teacher added his name.

The campus singing competition was happening soon. After school that day, the stage had already begun to be set up.

It would probably be finished by tonight.

Lin Yuan had not forgotten that it was Gu Lianyin's birthday, so after school, he first returned to the dormitory and changed out of his uniform.

Then he left the school with Gu Lianyin.

"My place isn't too far from here. It takes less than ten minutes to walk there."

Along the way, Gu Lianyin explained, her gaze occasionally sneaking toward the gift in Lin Yuan's hand.

What gift did Lin Yuan prepare for me? I'm so excited!

Judging by the size, could it be a crystal snow globe? Or some kind of accessory?

"Lin Yuan, what gift did you prepare for me?"

She decided not to wonder anymore and simply asked him.

Lin Yuan said, "I'm not telling you!"

"Fine, don't tell me. It's not like I want to know anyway." Gu Lianyin said one thing while meaning another.

Still, she felt that Lin Yuan looked much more handsome after changing clothes today.

Soon, the two entered an apartment building and went up to the third floor. Gu Lianyin took out her key and opened the door.

The living room had already been decorated the day before.

Balloons floated from the ceiling, streamers adorned the walls, and balloons spelling out "Happy Birthday" hung there.

This was Lin Yuan's first time visiting a girl's home. He could tell that Gu Lianyin loved cleanliness; the living room was neatly arranged and not messy at all.

"This is my room, and that's my best friend's room. I've already gotten her permission, so you don't need to worry."

Gu Lianyin told him that her best friend would be back soon as well.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Next, Gu Lianyin prepared to cook.

"I'll help you!"

Lin Yuan went over to help wash and cut the vegetables.

When he saw Gu Lianyin's cooking skills, he could only shake his head. He snatched the spatula from her and started cooking himself.

"Wow, Lin Yuan, you can cook too!"

Gu Lianyin had only learned how to cook halfway through, picking it up from videos. The finished dishes were usually probably not even fit for a dog.

"Go wash the vegetables."

Lin Yuan was busy stir-frying without even turning around.

"Okay." Gu Lianyin obediently went to wash the vegetables.

Before long, several dishes were placed on the table, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

There were stir-fried green peppers with pork, shredded potatoes, spicy stir-fried shrimp, mapo tofu, fish-fragrant shredded pork...

Gu Lianyin was practically drooling.

This smelled way too good!

She reached out, wanting to grab a piece of meat to see if it tasted good, but Lin Yuan quickly slapped her little hand away.

"Don't sneak a bite!"

Gu Lianyin looked pitiful.

Lin Yuan laughed. "Your hands aren't clean. Go get some chopsticks."

Only then did Gu Lianyin beam and run into the kitchen to get chopsticks.

She picked up a piece of meat and chewed it slowly. It tasted even better than food from restaurants outside. She gave him a big thumbs-up and praised his cooking.

Lin Yuan had previously worked part-time at a restaurant as a waiter and kitchen assistant. He had also learned cooking from a kind old chef, so naturally his skills were not bad.

"By the way, why isn't your best friend back yet? If she gets here any later, the food will go cold!" He checked the time. It was already dark outside.

"I don't know either. Usually, she should have been back half an hour ago."

Gu Lianyin replied as she called her best friend.

"I'll be back within three minutes!" Ling Wanqing said over the phone.

Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of someone turning the doorknob came from outside.

Gu Lianyin remembered that she had locked the door, so she hurried over to open it.

The door opened.

Gu Lianyin saw her best friend Ling Wanqing, smiling at her. She wore a black spaghetti-strap dress, her skin snowy and smooth, her makeup exquisite. Like a red lotus untouched by mud, she was noble and stunningly beautiful.

Then.

Bang!

Gu Lianyin shut the door.

Lin Yuan looked over in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Gu Lianyin said angrily, "I don't know her. She probably went to the wrong door."

Right on cue, someone knocked outside. "Lianyin, open the door! Hurry up and let me in!"

Gu Lianyin wanted to hit someone.

Her best friend had actually come back looking beautiful instead of making herself look ugly.

Didn't she know Lin Yuan had been invited over for her birthday today?

And she still dared to dress like that!

Their friendship was over!

They were done!

"Ling Wanqing, what exactly do you mean by this?!"

Gu Lianyin pressed herself against the door and demanded sternly.

She was furious, both little hands clenched into fists.

"Listen to me, Lianyin. I'm doing this to help you test what kind of person that deskmate of yours really is!"

"If he can't take his eyes off me the moment he sees me, acts overly attentive, and afterward asks you—or asks me directly—for my contact information..."

"Then he's a man who forgets his friends at the sight of beauty, someone with bad character!"

If Lin Yuan had not been there, Gu Lianyin probably would have cursed on the spot.

Didn't you say that once I showed my true appearance, Lin Yuan would chase after me like crazy?

Now you're showing your true face, yet you expect Lin Yuan not to be moved by you or swayed by your beauty.

Wasn't that way too contradictory?!

No matter what, she refused to open the door.

Recommendation votes and comments might be useless, but they're my motivation.
