Gu Lianyin Was About to Cry

Gu Lianyin Was About to Cry

After the first class in the afternoon.

Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin were both at their desks.

They were having a one-on-one tutoring session, going over the lesson the teacher had just taught in detail.

Gu Lianyin listened very attentively.

Lin Yuan's explanations were even simpler and more detailed than the teacher's, making them easy to understand.

Some of her previous textbook-related doubts were also resolved with ease.

One taught seriously while the other learned seriously, neither noticing the strange looks many classmates were casting their way.

"I mean, it's only been a few days, and Lin Yuan is already this close with his deskmate. Is that his type?"

"Hard to say. If a girl that ugly were sitting next to me, I probably wouldn't even be able to focus on class. Just sitting there would make me feel like I was on pins and needles!"

"This is really strange. The class monitor is so pretty, yet he gave her the cold shoulder when she pursued him. But with an impossibly ugly deskmate, look at them—their faces are practically touching."

Quite a few students whispered among themselves.

Ten minutes later, the bell rang.

Lin Yuan stopped tutoring her and asked, "Do you remember everything?"

Gu Lianyin nodded obediently. "I remember it all."

She sounded somewhat playful.

Over the next few days, Gu Lianyin's studies improved more and more. With Lin Yuan's tutoring, she mastered everything the teacher had covered.

Their relationship quickly developed into friendship. They talked about studying, interests, and the future.

Lin Yuan also learned that Gu Lianyin came from a well-off family. Otherwise, she would not casually load several thousand yuan onto a meal card.

When Lin Yuan asked about it, Gu Lianyin gave a simple answer: recharging it frequently was too troublesome, so she had simply put in more at once.

Those words left Lin Yuan feeling uncomfortable.

His family circumstances were not very good. His biological father had abandoned him when he was young, disappearing to who knew where.

He had lived with his mother ever since.

His mother worked during the day and took on part-time jobs at night to support his education, enduring many hardships.

When Lin Yuan introduced his family background to Gu Lianyin, he only said that he came from an ordinary family.

Gradually, the first mock exam arrived.

"Do well on this exam. If your grades don't improve, don't talk to me again!"

Before the exam, Lin Yuan reminded Gu Lianyin.

After all, this was related to whether he could obtain the system's hidden skill reward.

"Got it~" Gu Lianyin stuck out her little tongue.

The exam was extremely boring. Lin Yuan found it as easy as doing elementary school questions and finished quickly.

He glanced at Gu Lianyin and saw that she was bent over her paper, answering questions. It looked like she was having no trouble either.

When the exam ended, all the students handed in their papers.

Some looked worried, some remained silent, and some appeared relaxed.

"Lin Yuan, I feel like I can score nearly full marks this time!"

After handing in her paper, Gu Lianyin eagerly shared her joy with Lin Yuan.

"Impressive, impressive!"

Lin Yuan gave her a thumbs-up.

After spending time with her, Lin Yuan discovered that Gu Lianyin was a lively and cheerful girl, occasionally rather cute as well.

She was the kind with inner beauty.

Their relationship developed from ordinary friends into close friends.

They also added each other's contact information and occasionally chatted on their phones.

Time flew by, and a day later.

The teacher entered the classroom carrying the exam papers.

His gaze swept over the students below as he said solemnly,

"In this mock exam, some students made great progress, while others fell behind somewhat."

"Now, when I call your name, come up and collect your paper!"

The teacher motioned for everyone to quiet down and began calling names starting with the lowest scores.

"Dai Shengping, 21 points!"

"Shen Mingjie, 25 points!"

The students whose names were called stood up and went to the podium to collect their papers.

There were fifty-six students in the class, and thirty had received their papers by then.

Beside Lin Yuan, Gu Lianyin's little face was filled with nervousness.

Lin Yuan found it a little funny and raised a hand to pat her shoulder. "Don't be nervous. Believe in yourself."

Sure enough, Gu Lianyin stopped feeling nervous.

"Lin Yuan, if I make it into the top twenty, this young lady will cover your meals for the whole week!"

She patted her chest and promised.

"Xue Hongyun, 104 points!"

"Gu Lianyin, 136 points!"

The teacher called Gu Lianyin's name.

Gu Lianyin hurriedly got up and went to the podium to collect her paper.

She was so excited. She had actually scored 136 points. Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, am I?

She was second in the class!

After taking her paper and returning to her seat, she still felt that it was unreal.

"Congratulations!"

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Wuwu, I'm so excited I'm about to cry." Gu Lianyin's eyes really had turned red, and she looked as though she was about to cry.

Lin Yuan could not help but laugh.

The teacher picked up the final exam paper and announced,

"Lin Yuan, 150 points, full marks!"

At once, every student's gaze in the classroom fell on Lin Yuan.

There was surprise, shock, and disbelief.

The teacher continued, "Lin Yuan is the only student in the class who got every question right and scored full marks!"

The entire class was stunned.

He had actually gotten full marks!
