Accepting Another Girl's Heart-Shaped Note Right in Front of Her

Accepting Another Girl's Heart-Shaped Note Right in Front of Her

Gu Lianyin waited and waited before finally receiving a message from Lin Yuan.

"Let me see what he asked you to do!" Ling Wanqing immediately leaned over.

Her expression then turned visibly stunned, before she burst into laughter, completely abandoning any semblance of ladylike grace.

"Hahaha, he actually asked you to top up his phone with twenty yuan! I'm dying!"

Gu Lianyin wanted to die.

She had originally thought Lin Yuan would ask her out for dinner, a movie, or something like that. She could have accepted that.

Yet this was the result in the end.

He wanted her to top up twenty yuan in phone credit?

Lin Yuan, you big idiot, what the hell were you thinking?!

Gu Lianyin was so angry she wanted to smash her phone. She simply decided not to reply.

Ling Wanqing collapsed onto the sofa, clutching her stomach with laughter. She laughed until she could barely make a sound, tears streaming from her eyes. It was obvious how delighted she was.

Ignoring her, Gu Lianyin returned to her room, shut herself in, and sulked.

Lin Yuan waited a long time but still received no reply from Gu Lianyin.

Nor did he receive any text confirming that the phone credit had arrived.

He waited and waited, still unaware of how serious the situation was.

Monday.

When Lin Yuan arrived in the classroom, he discovered that Gu Lianyin, who always bought him breakfast, had unexpectedly not bought any today.

He walked over and sat down. She was still wearing her school uniform and pants in that deliberately unflattering way, stubbornly turning her head away from him.

Was she angry?

Who had made her angry?

Lin Yuan swept his gaze around the classroom.

Whoever dared make Lianyin angry, he definitely wouldn't let them off easy.

"Lianyin, are you angry? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

Lin Yuan poked Gu Lianyin.

"Hmph!" Gu Lianyin snorted. "Someone named Lin Yuan made me angry!"

Lin Yuan froze.

When did I make you angry?

Sure enough, women's hearts were as deep as the ocean.

Fortunately, he had the I Know Women's Hearts ability, so he finally understood why Lianyin was so angry with him.

She was angry because yesterday he had asked her to top up twenty yuan in phone credit for him?

It was only twenty yuan. It wasn't some outrageous request.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to comfort girls. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't be angry anymore. How about I take you out for hotpot after school?"

"Fine!"

Gu Lianyin was very tsundere as she reluctantly agreed.

That afternoon, the two of them still had to participate in the Campus Singing Competition.

After several rounds of auditions, fifty contestants had ultimately made it through.

That afternoon, half of those fifty would be eliminated. The remaining twenty-five would enter the twenty-five-to-ten competition two days later.

Neither Gu Lianyin nor Lin Yuan had any trouble in the fifty-to-twenty-five round, advancing with ease.

Lin Yuan still sang a song by Jay Chou, winning enthusiastic applause and cheers from everyone.

Not long after he came offstage, several younger girls approached him to ask for his contact information.

Under Gu Lianyin's unfriendly gaze, Lin Yuan calmly declined them.

"Jealous?" he asked with a smile.

Gu Lianyin denied it. "Jealous of what? I'm not anything to you."

At that moment, a sweet-looking younger girl with very fair skin ran over. Blushing, she held out a note folded into the shape of a heart to Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, please accept this!"

Recently, the most discussed topic on the school forum had been the Campus Singing Competition held by the school, with many contestants who had strong singing skills drawing the most attention.

Even Gu Lianyin had plenty of people discussing her.

For example, people said things like how beautifully she sang, how stunned they had been at the scene, and how although she wasn't pretty, her voice was beautiful.

But the person discussed the most was still Lin Yuan.

Someone had recorded his performance of Love Confession Balloon and posted the video on the school forum and several other platforms.

Professionals analyzed that Lin Yuan's singing ability was no worse than that of professional singers, perhaps even better. He had obviously received professional training.

In short, it simply sounded good!

Combined with the fact that he was fairly good-looking, he became the subject of much private discussion among the younger girls.

Naturally, some younger girls liked him as well.

From the corner of his eye, Lin Yuan caught Gu Lianyin's murderous gaze. He found it amusing, and even thought that she looked... very cute like this.

Lin Yuan, if you dare accept it, I'll never speak to you again! Gu Lianyin roared inwardly.

Lin Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed he couldn't accept the heart-shaped note, or someone would stop talking to him.

[The host's current situation has been detected. Please make your choice!]

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

The system, which had been silent for days, had finally appeared!

Choice 1: Refuse the heart-shaped note. Obtain the title "Heartless," 10,000 in cash, and increase Gu Lianyin's favorability by 5.

Note: The "Heartless" title will make the host more ruthless and decisive.

Choice 2: Accept the heart-shaped note and read it aloud to Gu Lianyin in person. Reward: one random skill.

Lin Yuan looked again and again, certain that he had not misread it.

For a moment, he suspected the system had mixed up the rewards.

Cash was nice, but he didn't lack money now.

Gu Lianyin's favorability was nice too, but feelings had to be cultivated slowly. There was no need to rush.

The Heartless title? The disadvantages outweighed the benefits. Forget it!

In the end, Lin Yuan made a difficult decision and gritted his teeth as he chose the second option!

He reached out and accepted the girl's heart-shaped note.

In an instant, Gu Lianyin was like a vinegar jar that had been knocked over—consumed by jealousy.
