Gu Lianyin's Stunning Entrance, Going on a Date

Gu Lianyin's Stunning Entrance, Going on a Date

Gu Lianyin was dumbfounded.

The confession she had been expecting never came.

Even if she were beaten to death, she never would have imagined that this would be Lin Yuan's request.

He actually only wanted her to top up twenty yuan of phone credit for him!

The anticipation filling her heart vanished without a trace.

Gu Lianyin's eyes were full of resentment. She turned her back to him, deciding that she would never speak to Lin Yuan again.

"Damn Lin Yuan! I'll never talk to you again! Bad Lin Yuan, stinky Lin Yuan, hmph!"

"If you don't coax me and change your request, I won't like you anymore!"

Lin Yuan had only been making a little joke. He had not expected her to get angry.

He bent down and whispered into Gu Lianyin's ear, "I was joking. How could I make such a simple request?"

"Hmph!"

Gu Lianyin turned her head away and continued ignoring him.

"Would you honor me with dinner tonight? That's my request. Is that okay, Lianyin?"

Lin Yuan murmured flirtatiously into her ear.

Gu Lianyin's ears visibly reddened from embarrassment.

Lin Yuan was inviting me to dinner?!

Could he be planning to confess to me then?

I never knew you were so thoughtful. You even know how to be romantic.

Since that was the case, I'd reluctantly agree.

"Seeing how sincere you are, I'll agree."

She accepted Lin Yuan's invitation haughtily.

"Mm, it's settled, then."

Lin Yuan smiled.

He had heard Gu Lianyin's thoughts and felt that everything had fallen into place. All that remained was to pierce that final layer of window paper.

Tonight, he would confess to Gu Lianyin!

He would tell her just how much he liked her.

He wanted to stay by her side and experience life's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness with her.

After school.

Lin Yuan made a special trip to a jewelry store to pick out a beautiful pair of earrings as a confession gift.

He also went back to change into a clean, youthful-looking outfit.

He bought flowers and reserved a private room for a romantic candlelit dinner.

This was the first time he had prepared to confess to a girl he liked. He had no experience, but he had made thorough preparations.

Once everything was ready, Lin Yuan sent Lianyin a message. "I'll come downstairs to pick you up at eight."

Meanwhile, Gu Lianyin was carefully choosing a suitable dress.

She told Ling Wanqing that Lin Yuan was treating her to dinner that night.

She had also decided not to go on the date in her deliberately ugly disguise.

She would not disguise herself anymore.

Today, she would be beautiful for once!

She was going to see him!

Even if it meant treating Ling Wanqing to Michelin for a month, she would do it!

Ling Wanqing was extremely supportive. "Lianyin, you look good in anything. If Lin Yuan sees what you really look like, he definitely won't be able to take his eyes off you!"

Honestly, she really envied Lianyin for having such a good deskmate.

As for her, not only had her deskmate drawn a boundary line on the desk and forbidden anyone from crossing it, but not a single classmate in the class was willing to speak to him.

Compared to that, she was truly miserable.

Comparing people really could make one furious.

"Wanqing, do you think this looks good on me?" Gu Lianyin held up a white slip dress.

"This one. Trust me, you can't go wrong!" Ling Wanqing advised.

Gu Lianyin thought it looked good too, so she would wear it on her date that night.

Just then, the phone she had placed on the table rang.

The ringtone was very distinctive. It was a special notification sound she had specifically set for Lin Yuan.

Gu Lianyin hurriedly picked up her phone to check the message.

"Lin Yuan said he's coming to pick me up," Gu Lianyin said. "But I want to give him a surprise, so I absolutely can't let him pick me up."

She immediately replied, "No need. Just tell me the location, and I'll take a taxi there myself."

"Alright. Be careful," Lin Yuan replied.

It was getting late, and the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Gu Lianyin began applying her makeup.

The steps of putting on makeup were extremely complicated. For men, it was practically a technical job.

First, she needed to wash her face clean, then apply toner, face cream, makeup primer, liquid foundation, setting powder, and draw her brows, eye shadow, blush, lipstick, lashes, and more.

The process took a long time. At the fastest, it took ten minutes; at the slowest, it started at an hour.

For the sake of beauty, many girls did not mind spending a long time on their makeup.

Gu Lianyin was already very beautiful, with fair, flawless skin. Even when she went out bare-faced, she was a lovely sight.

But she still put on a light layer of makeup today.

After she finished, the girl in the mirror was breathtakingly beautiful. Her brows curved delicately, her lips were red and her teeth white, and her fair cheeks glowed. Even light makeup could not hide her natural beauty.

Paired with the white slip dress, her stunning face made her seem out of place in this world, carrying an ethereal air untouched by worldly affairs.

She had none of the mundane warmth of the world about her. Like an elegant green lotus, she was pure and untainted. Her gemlike eyes were clean and clear, seeming to shine with light.

Gu Lianyin was not only beautiful; she also maintained an excellent figure, one that even Ling Wanqing deeply envied.

She had defined abs and no excess fat. Everything that should have curved did, and everything that should have lifted did.

With that figure, if she wore skinny jeans and a cropped top, she would definitely draw countless glances.

But Gu Lianyin was conservative by nature and would not wear such eye-catching clothes out on the street.

Still, with her looks, it was hard for her not to attract attention.

Gu Lianyin tied her hair into a simple ponytail, fastening it with a floral hair clip. It added a touch of cuteness and youthfulness. Then she prepared to leave.

"Lianyin, I want to go too!"

Ling Wanqing suddenly wanted to tag along and watch her best friend's date.

"What are you going for? It's not your date. Stay home. I don't want a lightbulb hanging around beside us!"

Gu Lianyin refused her.

"Come on, I promise I won't disturb you two." Ling Wanqing repeatedly promised that she would go disguised as ugly this time, watch from far away, and absolutely not cause trouble.

"No!" Gu Lianyin refused no matter what.

This was a date between her and Lin Yuan. There might be scenes unsuitable for children. What if Lin Yuan wanted to kiss her?

If Ling Wanqing saw that, how embarrassed would she be?

"Fine... I won't go, then." Ling Wanqing's eyes were full of disappointment.

Yet inwardly, she was delighted. She knew where Lianyin was going on her date. She could just sneak over later.

Even if she got discovered then, could Lianyin really chase her away?

After carefully dressing up, Gu Lianyin called a ride-hailing car and headed to the location Lin Yuan had given her.

Shortly afterward, Ling Wanqing quietly went downstairs and called a car as well.

As she got closer and closer to her destination, Gu Lianyin clenched her fists. Her palms were sweating, and she felt both nervous and expectant.

She sent Lin Yuan a message.

"Lin Yuan, I'm going to give you an enormous surprise later!"

She could already imagine the dumbfounded look on Lin Yuan's face when he saw her.

At the thought of it, Gu Lianyin smiled, unable to hide her affection for him from her eyes.

"What surprise?"

Lin Yuan had already arrived. He had a surprise for her too.

"You'll know when I get there. Don't be too surprised!" Gu Lianyin replied.

"I'm looking forward to it," Lin Yuan said, though he had actually guessed what the surprise might be.

More than ten minutes later.

The ride-hailing car stopped in front of a famous restaurant.

Gu Lianyin got out of the car.

She walked into the restaurant.
