I'm Her Boyfriend

I'm Her Boyfriend

This took immense courage, but for Lin Yuan, Gu Lianyin was willing to do it.

She would stop making herself look ugly.

She would meet him with her most beautiful face and become his girlfriend!

She would no longer have to face strange looks and other people's criticism. She would be herself again!

Gu Lianyin raised her head, looked at Lin Yuan's profile, and silently made this decision.

She thought that if Lin Yuan found out she was actually not ugly at all, but very beautiful instead, he would definitely be shocked—and happy!

The students in their class, and probably everyone else at school, would be jealous too.

Compared to Gu Lianyin's little thoughts, more people were looking forward to the results of today's competition.

Who would take first place?

The judges would decide the answer to that multiple-choice question.

Several judges leaned together and discussed the three contestants' songs.

Original songs were undoubtedly a bonus.

Then came their vocal ability, technique, and the difficulty of the songs they had performed—all of it required professional analysis.

Lin Yuan was nervous too, wondering what the results would be.

If he did not get first place, then all the rewards would be gone.

Still, he believed in himself. As long as there was no rigging, it would be fine.

The public's eyes were sharp.

The judges discussed their opinions seriously before finally reaching a conclusion.

"First, I would like to comment on the first contestant. She performed an original song, and the lyrics were good as well. Everything else was also quite good..."

"As for the second contestant, Gu Lianyin, her singing ability is solid, but it was not an original song. When the gap in ability is not large, the former is better."

"The third contestant, Lin Yuan, also performed an original song. Its lyrics, melody, and meaning were all flawless. This is not empty praise, but my honest opinion. It truly surprised me."

The judges took turns commenting on the three songs.

The final rankings were handed to the teachers, who went onstage to announce them.

The results were as follows.

Third place: Gu Lianyin.

Second place: the female folk singer.

First place: Lin Yuan!

Everyone felt there was nothing wrong with those results.

Even Gu Lianyin and the folk singer agreed.

Lin Yuan had unquestionably won first place in the Campus Singing Competition!

Applause and cheers erupted as the three went onstage to receive their prizes.

First place came with a ten-thousand-yuan scholarship.

Lin Yuan did not care about the ten thousand yuan. What he cared about was the reward.

The two original songs could bring him far more than ten thousand yuan.

God-Tier Singing Technique and God-Tier Voice—this golden rice bowl was beyond comparison with any amount of money.

There was also God-Tier operational skill for the Honor of Kings hero Hou Yi, letting him effortlessly carry girls to King rank.

Next, the host asked the three of them to each say a few words, drawing the event to a close.

What followed was the group photo session.

Lin Yuan had an inexplicable aversion to photos and just wanted to get it over with and leave.

After it ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Before Lin Yuan could leave, reporters came over specifically to interview him.

"May I ask who taught you how to sing?"

"I taught myself."

"Hello, Lin Yuan. Was Dawn of Tragic Love, as well as today's song That Girl, really written by you? When did you write them, and what emotions were you feeling at the time?"

"They were indeed written by me. I was inspired not long ago and wrote them casually."

Gu Lianyin, standing beside him, was interviewed as well.

"Excuse me, I think I saw you holding the first-place winner's arm earlier. What is the relationship between you two?"

A reporter suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Gu Lianyin did not know how to answer.

That idiot Lin Yuan still hasn't confessed to me!

I haven't even had the chance to agree to be his girlfriend!

So how am I supposed to answer that?

Although the school did not allow students to date, quite a few people still dated secretly in private, and the school had never done much about it.

Even if teachers saw students holding hands, they would not say anything. At most, they would turn a blind eye.

Seeing Gu Lianyin stammering and unable to answer, Lin Yuan patted her head and answered for her.

"I'm her boyfriend!"

The reporter's eyes flashed with surprise at those words.

High school students dating was nothing unusual, but what was unusual was how Lin Yuan had taken a liking to her.

The reporter was professional enough not to ask that question.

After a few harmless remarks, the interview ended.

Throughout it all, Gu Lianyin looked as though she had been struck by a heaven-shaking surprise, her smile sweet.

Her heart felt warm. Lin Yuan finally admitted out loud that I'm his girlfriend!

She was as happy as a four-year-old child.

"Hey, why did you say you were my boyfriend? I never agreed to be your girlfriend!"

Gu Lianyin pretended to be angry, speaking contrary to her feelings as she looked at Lin Yuan with a beaming smile.

"Don't forget our bet. If I won first place in the Campus Singing Competition, you'd agree to one request of mine!" Lin Yuan said, suddenly bringing it up.

Gu Lianyin blushed. Could Lin Yuan's request be for her to become his girlfriend?!

She pretended not to understand and acted reserved. "Oh, that. A bet is a bet, and I accept my loss. So what is your request? Does it have something to do with this?"

Ahhh! Is Lin Yuan going to confess to me? I'm so nervous and excited! Gu Lianyin was filled with nervous anticipation.

"No." Lin Yuan shook his head. "My request is actually pretty simple. I just ran out of phone credit, so could you top up twenty yuan for me?"
