Making an Excessive Request

Chapter 34

Making an Excessive Request

As usual, Lin Yuan returned to the villa for the night.

The night was not very dark, and he could clearly see the bluestone path.

As he walked, a small animal suddenly darted out from the roadside. At first, Lin Yuan thought it was a wild cat, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fat squirrel.

He found it strange. Weren't squirrels daytime creatures that slept at night? Why had it come out in the middle of the night?

But this fat squirrel was remarkably familiar. After approaching him, it climbed up his pant leg and clung there without moving.

"Get down."

Lin Yuan shook his leg, but the squirrel clutched his pants tightly and refused to be shaken off.

Helpless, he could only keep walking and let the squirrel hang there.

What Lin Yuan had not expected was that the squirrel actually followed him all the way back to the villa.

Why did it like following me so much?

Lin Yuan stared at the fat squirrel.

The fat squirrel's eyes were big and round, and it stared back at him.

In the end, Lin Yuan grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, tossed it into the nearby grass, then swiftly opened the villa door, slipped inside, and shut it in one smooth motion.

All that remained was the fat squirrel's squeaking cries.

It kept squeaking for several hours.

The next day.

Lin Yuan did not wake up until noon. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he prepared to go out and buy breakfast.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the little girl named Xiao Ke squatting outside his home, staring intently at a nearby tree.

"Xiao Ke!" Lin Yuan smiled. He had a good impression of this little girl; she was innocent and adorable.

"It's you, Big Brother!"

Lin Yuan asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Ke pointed up at the tree with her childish voice. "The little squirrel is in this tree!"

Lin Yuan looked up and, sure enough, saw a chubby little fellow hanging from one of the branches.

It had been there all night and still had not left.

"Come down!"

Lin Yuan only said it casually. He did not expect the squirrel to understand him and obediently climb down.

But what happened next left him stunned.

Upon hearing his voice, the fat squirrel nimbly climbed down the tree and headed toward him.

Lin Yuan stepped aside, unwilling to let his newly changed clothes get dirty.

"What's wrong with this squirrel? Why is it always so clingy with me?"

Lin Yuan once again suspected that there was something on him attracting the squirrel.

"Wow, Big Brother, you're amazing! You made the little squirrel come down!" Xiao Ke's eyes were filled with envy.

Lin Yuan was no longer in a hurry to buy breakfast. He simply sat on the steps outside the door and chatted with Xiao Ke.

Sometimes, chatting with adorable human children was a kind of mental relaxation.

During that time, the fat squirrel became restless again. It found an opportunity to climb onto Lin Yuan's shoulder and stayed there without moving.

Xiao Ke carefully stretched out her little hand and successfully petted it.

"Xiao Ke, come home!"

Someone called from afar.

Xiao Ke's older sister was looking over from a distance.

"My sister is calling me. I'm going home now. Goodbye, Big Brother!"

Before leaving, Xiao Ke reluctantly stroked the squirrel a few more times before trotting toward her sister.

Lin Yuan looked at Xiao Ke's older sister and gave her a slight nod.

Today, Xiao Ke's older sister wore a pale yellow dress that revealed only a section of her fair calves.

Her beautiful hair hung loosely around her shoulders, with a leaf-shaped green hairpin holding back the strands that were prone to falling out of place. Her eyes were beautiful and clear as gemstones.

Although she wore little makeup, she was already exceptionally beautiful, with a delicate, gentle air.

Xiao Ke's older sister nodded lightly and revealed a friendly smile.

Then she took Xiao Ke's hand and left.

Would any boy her age not be moved by a girl like that?

The answer was that more than ninety-five percent of boys would be.

The remaining five percent were probably blind.

Lin Yuan was neither moved nor blind, because Gu Lianyin was by his side!

He went out to buy breakfast. After filling his stomach, he did not know what to do.

Today was Sunday. He wondered whether Gu Lianyin had gotten up yet.

Yesterday, he had held her hand. Although he had not confessed directly, it still counted as an indirect confession.

More importantly, Gu Lianyin had not refused. The water was in place, and the channel was about to form.

"Wanqing, Lin Yuan held my hand yesterday."

A period drama was playing in the living room, and Gu Lianyin and Ling Wanqing were watching it with great interest.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Lianyin told her best friend about what had happened yesterday.

Having no experience in love, she wanted to seek her best friend's advice.

"What? What did you say?"

Ling Wanqing thought she had misheard and asked again.

"When we came back yesterday, Lin Yuan held my hand all the way back."

Gu Lianyin lowered her head shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Ling Wanqing could no longer stay calm.

Was she really going to watch helplessly as her childhood best friend got pursued by another man?

When she learned that Gu Lianyin had let that Lin Yuan hold her hand all the way back, she felt terrible inside.

But she also hoped that Gu Lianyin could find her own happiness.

A boy who did not mind Gu Lianyin's deliberately ugly appearance.

That had to be true love.

Could there be pure friendship between men and women?

Yes!

The uglier they were, the purer it was.

But girls who had male best friends were often very beautiful.

Just as Ling Wanqing had said, this was a world that judged by looks.

"Wanqing, what should I do now?" Gu Lianyin asked her best friend for advice.

Ling Wanqing rolled her eyes.

She had never been in a relationship either. What could she tell Gu Lianyin to do?

But even if she had never seen a pig run, she had at least eaten pork!

Ling Wanqing immediately gave Gu Lianyin an idea.

"Didn't he walk you home yesterday? Tell him that, to thank him for taking you home, he can make an excessive request and see how he responds!"

By the thinking of an ordinary man, such a request would be nothing more than going to the movies, shopping, or having a meal together.

It was precisely a way to improve their relationship.

Gu Lianyin followed her advice in a daze and sent Lin Yuan a message.

Because Lin Yuan had marked her as a special contact, her notification sound was different.

He immediately opened his phone and saw the message from Lianyin.

"A request?"

Lin Yuan thought about it, but he did not know what request would be best.

It could not be too excessive, but it could not be too simple either.

After thinking for several minutes, he suddenly had an idea and quickly replied.

"How about... you top up twenty yuan of phone credit for me?"
