Devil-Style Tutoring Plan

Devil-Style Tutoring Plan

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

Choice 1: Refuse Gu Lianyin's request. Reward: one latest-model Huawei phone.

Choice 2: Agree to Gu Lianyin's request and help her rank within the top twenty in the first mock exam. Reward: "Future News Events" ×2.

The higher the ranking, the greater the chance of obtaining a hidden reward skill!

Lin Yuan was somewhat distracted.

He had not expected to trigger a system choice so casually.

He touched the knockoff phone in his pocket, which he had bought for a few hundred yuan, and thought it was about time to get a new one.

He only needed to refuse to get it.

Still, he was very interested in the second reward, Future News Events.

According to the system's introduction, this reward revealed news events that would happen in the future.

For example, a celebrity's messy private life might soon be exposed.

Or a listed company's stock might suddenly soar, and buying in time could earn him a fortune.

"Fine, I can tutor you, but forget the milk tea. Just bring me a few yuan's worth of steamed buns and soy milk every day."

Lin Yuan made his choice clear.

"Yay!"

Gu Lianyin was so excited she nearly cried out. Classmate Lin Yuan had agreed to tutor her!

After the morning classes ended, Gu Lianyin offered to treat him to lunch.

"Order whatever you want. I can afford it!"

Holding his tray, Lin Yuan looked over the day's dishes. The selection was quite plentiful.

Normally, he never spent more than ten yuan on a meal, and this time was no different.

He picked two vegetable dishes and one meat dish, then got a bowl of the cafeteria's free soup.

Then he looked at Gu Lianyin. Her tray had fried shrimp, and her soup had pork ribs. This lunch alone had cost nearly forty yuan.

"Classmate Lin Yuan, why didn't you order more dishes? I'm treating you. You don't have to pay."

Gu Lianyin stared at the dishes on Lin Yuan's tray, dissatisfied.

"Money doesn't grow on trees. There's no need to order so much."

"It's not like I'm short on money. I put three thousand yuan on my meal card, so you're being too formal." Gu Lianyin bit into a chicken cutlet and spoke unclearly.

Lin Yuan was startled. "You put that much on it? Does your family own a company or something?"

Gu Lianyin looked up in surprise. "How did you know?"

Lin Yuan finally understood. His deskmate really was the daughter of a wealthy family!

Seeing how lavishly she was eating compared to Lin Yuan's simple meal, Gu Lianyin could not bear to watch.

She picked up a lion's head meatball with her chopsticks and placed it on Lin Yuan's tray.

"Here, have this!"

Lin Yuan did not refuse. Since your family is rich, I won't stand on ceremony.

"Holy crap, what did I just see?!"

A startled voice rang out behind him.

Then three boys came over and sat beside Lin Yuan.

They were his roommates: Wang Ping, Liu Qing, and Li Wencai.

They had just seen Gu Lianyin put food on Lin Yuan's tray and assumed he had gotten himself a girlfriend.

But with his height and being the best-looking guy in the dorm, how could he have fallen for such a... not very pretty girl?

Of course, they only thought it and did not dare say it aloud.

"Don't get the wrong idea. She's my deskmate. Is there a problem with us having lunch together?"

Lin Yuan could not be bothered to explain.

Because he knew that the more he explained, the more excited those three would get.

"Hello, my name is Gu Lianyin. I'm Classmate Lin Yuan's deskmate."

Gu Lianyin sat upright and spoke softly.

"Hello, I'm Liu Qing, Lin Yuan's roommate. These are Wang Ping and Li Wencai." Liu Qing briefly introduced them.

After a simple lunch, Gu Lianyin headed back to the apartment she rented off campus. Lin Yuan watched her leave the school grounds.

After all, several system choices had been related to Gu Lianyin.

It was only right to show some concern.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder.

His roommate Wang Ping wore a mischievous grin, and the other two looked the same.

"Lin Yuan, are you two dating?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Never saw that coming..."

"Still, that girl isn't pretty. What were you thinking?"

Liu Qing voiced his confusion.

"Stop guessing. We're really just ordinary classmates."

"Do you believe him?"

Liu Qing looked at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping decisively shook his head. "Nope. Do you?"

He asked Li Wencai.

"I don't believe it either."

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead. There was no explaining this now.

Gu Lianyin returned home and heard her best friend's quiet sobbing the moment she entered.

She hurried over and saw Ling Wanqing, who had already removed her makeup and was dressed beautifully, sitting on the sofa with reddened eyes.

"What happened, Wanqing?!"

Gu Lianyin was startled. She had never seen her best friend cry like this before.

"Lianyin, I want to give up. They're bullying me too much!"

The moment Ling Wanqing saw Gu Lianyin, all the grievance in her heart came pouring out.

Tears streamed down her face.

She told her everything that had happened at school today.

It turned out that several poor students and troublemakers in her class had bullied her.

They called her ugly and even gave her the nickname "Big Mole Pig."

Not a single classmate had stepped forward to defend her.

Ling Wanqing had been depressed over it all day and had not even eaten.

She had even begun thinking about dropping out.

"How can they do that? They're going too far!"

Gu Lianyin was furious on behalf of her best friend.

"What about you, Lianyin? How was it on your end?"

Ling Wanqing asked.

"I'm fine," Gu Lianyin said. "No one said anything about me."

"By the way, that deskmate Lin Yuan I told you about before has excellent grades. I asked him to tutor me, and he agreed."

"I even treated him to lunch at noon and put a lion's head meatball in his lunchbox. He didn't mind at all."

"I think he's a pretty nice person..."

Compared with what her best friend had gone through, Gu Lianyin suddenly found Classmate Lin Yuan exceptionally admirable.

"Lianyin, don't tell me you've fallen for that deskmate of yours?"

Ling Wanqing wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and teased her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Gu Lianyin actually blushed. "We're just classmates. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Besides, we've only known each other for a few days. How could I possibly like him already?"

"Oho, you're blushing. It's only been a few days. Give it more time and won't you two be holding hands and kissing?"

Ling Wanqing said with a wicked grin.

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Gu Lianyin got up and went to the bathroom to remove her makeup.

Very soon, her true appearance was revealed: youthful and radiant, with an elegant and noble air.

Her skin gleamed with a crystalline luster under the light streaming in through the window.

"Wanqing, don't dwell on those upsetting things. At worst, we'll call off our bet. I'll treat you to barbecue tonight!"

"Sigh!" Ling Wanqing sighed, but her gaze grew increasingly determined.

"No, I'll keep pretending to be ugly. When the time is right, I'll show them my real face and blind those idiots!"

"I support you with both hands!"

That afternoon.

In order to obtain the system reward, Lin Yuan devised a tutoring plan.

He named it the Devil-Style Tutoring Plan.

They would do practice problems after class, and he would tutor her one-on-one on weekends.

He told Gu Lianyin about the plan.

Gu Lianyin immediately pulled a long face.

She was starting to regret it.

But words once spoken had to be followed through, even if she had to cry her way through studying.
