Lianyin Wept, Wanting to Be Forgiven

Chapter 48: Lianyin Wept, Wanting to Be Forgiven

Seeing Lin Yuan remain silent, Gu Lianyin guessed that perhaps he had yet to recover from the shock.

If she had not disguised herself as ugly, she would never have met such a wonderful deskmate.

He had been willing to sit with her, patiently tutor her, take her to concerts, and not mind how she looked while disguised.

After spending these days together, Gu Lianyin knew that she liked Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, why aren't you reacting? Did you go stupid?"

Gu Lianyin saw Lin Yuan staring at her expressionlessly and felt that something was very wrong.

It was as if something bad was about to happen.

"I like the Gu Lianyin who was lively, adorable, and pure-hearted."

"Not the Gu Lianyin who looked untouchable, treated me like a dog and toyed with me, tested me again and again, and thought it was amusing."

Lin Yuan slowly rose to his feet, his gaze cold as he looked straight at Gu Lianyin.

"I'm sorry. You are indeed beautiful, but I can't accept who you are now."

"Please give the Lianyin I liked back to me!"

As he spoke, Lin Yuan grew emotional, and even his eyes reddened.

He thought that the acting skills of those young male idols in TV dramas were nothing more than this.

In truth, if he had never known from beginning to end that Gu Lianyin had been disguising herself as ugly,

then with his personality, he really would have done this at this moment.

He might even have gone further.

Because Lin Yuan hated deception.

Just like his biological father, whom he had never met, had deceived his mother.

That was why he had never deceived anyone, nor did he want anyone to deceive him.

Gu Lianyin's pretty face instantly turned deathly pale.

The way Lin Yuan looked now made her feel as though he were a stranger.

She was terrified.

She had thought Lin Yuan would be happy after seeing what she truly looked like.

But things had not turned out as she had imagined.

Instead, Lin Yuan was angry. Gu Lianyin had never seen him this angry before.

"Let's leave it at that."

After leaving those words behind, Lin Yuan turned and walked away decisively.

Gu Lianyin stood frozen where she was.

At that moment, tears streamed endlessly down her face.

"Lin Yuan, don't go! I was wrong, I really was wrong! Please don't go, okay?"

Gu Lianyin sobbed uncontrollably, heartbroken and utterly devastated. At that moment, she looked tragically beautiful.

She ran after Lin Yuan in the direction he had left.

She was terrified. Lin Yuan's words, "Let's leave it at that," were like a knife stabbing viciously into her heart.

It hurt so much that she felt as though she could not breathe!

Not far away, Ling Wanqing, who had been watching the show, stood stunned.

She had no idea what had happened.

The two of them had been fine just moments ago, so how had they suddenly started arguing? Lin Yuan seemed to have said something before leaving, while her best friend cried so heartbreakingly.

"Lianyin, what happened?" Ling Wanqing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Lianyin.

But Gu Lianyin did not even look at her. She shook off Ling Wanqing's hand and ran out of the restaurant in tears.

Leaving Ling Wanqing standing there alone in complete confusion.

Outside the restaurant, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to go back.

He knew that what he had done was cruel.

Consider it punishment for her repeated tests of him.

Lin Yuan believed that Lianyin was not so fragile that she would lose her head and do something irrational after suffering a setback.

He was not worried that they would become strangers because of this, either. Couples always had conflicts, and they would always be resolved.

"Lin Yuan!"

Gu Lianyin chased out of the restaurant.

Lin Yuan did not turn around to look at her.

Gu Lianyin ran toward him, crying out all the way, then wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Lin Yuan, I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please don't go, okay?"

Lin Yuan remained unmoved and said coldly, "Please let go. I'm going home."

"No!" Gu Lianyin desperately shook her head, afraid that the moment she let go, Lin Yuan would leave her.

At this time, quite a few passersby nearby stopped to watch.

They saw a very beautiful girl crying her heart out, clinging to a boy and begging him not to leave.

"That girl is so pretty. She's actually begging that boy not to leave her, yet he's so heartless. He doesn't know how to cherish her at all."

"If it were me, I'd have forgiven her already. With such a beautiful girlfriend doting on me, I'd be over the moon. How could I bear to make her cry?"

"Young people these days really have no idea how rare beautiful girls are in this day and age."

The passersby pointed and whispered, believing that the boy did not know how to cherish her. If he missed out on this girl, he would surely regret it later.

That was how ordinary people thought.

Lin Yuan was different from them.

Ling Wanqing, who had chased out of the restaurant, witnessed the scene and immediately scolded the onlookers, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and disperse."

She quickly went over and forcibly pulled Gu Lianyin, who was tightly hugging Lin Yuan, away from him.

If word of this got out, it would be very damaging to Lianyin's reputation.

If anyone from the Gu Family saw it, there would be serious trouble.

In the end, Lin Yuan hardened his heart and left without looking back.

Gu Lianyin watched his retreating figure, tears blurring her vision.

She was utterly heartbroken.

"Wanqing." Gu Lianyin raised her red-rimmed eyes to Ling Wanqing. "Was I wrong? Is that why Lin Yuan was so angry with me?"

Ling Wanqing shook her head and comforted her. "Lianyin, don't cry. He's the one who doesn't know how to cherish you. He'll definitely regret it and come back to find you!"

Gu Lianyin only cried.

She returned in a daze, as though she had lost her soul.

Ling Wanqing asked her what had happened.

"He said he doesn't like who I am now, only who I used to be. He even told me to give the old me back to him!"

"Wanqing, Lin Yuan was actually very hurt too. I could tell. I was the one who hurt him."

As Gu Lianyin spoke, she began crying again.

"Lianyin, you can't think like that," Ling Wanqing said. "Doesn't this prove that Lin Yuan truly likes you?"

"So what? He'll never like me again!" Gu Lianyin looked pitiful, her spirits low.

She did not even know how she was supposed to face Lin Yuan when she got to class tomorrow.

Ling Wanqing came up with an idea for her. "How about this? Apologize to him through your phone first, explain why, and see how he responds."

Gu Lianyin did as she said, but soon came back with a mournful face. "He didn't reply to me."

Ling Wanqing said, "Maybe he hasn't seen it yet."

Gu Lianyin shook her head. "No. Whenever I sent him messages before, he replied instantly."

"Then call him!"

Gu Lianyin called Lin Yuan.

But it rang for a long time, and no one answered.

It was over.

He was not replying to her messages or answering her calls. It was over!

Gu Lianyin thought.

"Lianyin, don't panic. You're so beautiful, are you afraid you won't find a boyfriend with even better prospects?"

Ling Wanqing tried to ease Gu Lianyin's anxiety. "Lin Yuan will definitely regret it after he goes back, then come back to make up with you. Don't overthink it."

Gu Lianyin shook her head.

She genuinely liked Lin Yuan. If anyone was going to regret this, Gu Lianyin felt that person would be herself.

"Wanqing, only you can help me now. How can I make Lin Yuan accept me?"

Ling Wanqing told her to wait while she asked friends she knew with relationship experience for help, sending messages to all of them in a group chat.

"Use your actions to earn his forgiveness. You can make him breakfast every day, fold lots of hearts..."

"Damn, since when did girls have to apologize to their boyfriends? Ignore him. At worst, break up!"

"You can pretend to be sick, then let him find out. Boys will definitely soften up and change their minds."
