Misunderstanding, Gu Lianyin Cried

Misunderstanding, Gu Lianyin Cried

After entering the restaurant, the two found a place to sit.

They ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

"Lianyin, that deskmate you mentioned really helped raise your grades to second in the class?"

When Ling Wanqing brought this up, she could not have been more envious.

Why did she not have such a good deskmate?

Right now, the teacher had assigned her to a seat near the back of the class, a role practically ignored by everyone.

And she did not even have a deskmate.

Everyone disliked her and did not want to sit with her.

During breaks, everyone else went to the convenience store or bathroom in little groups, while she could only go alone.

"Ugh!"

Ling Wanqing sighed.

She desperately wanted to tear away her ugly disguise at once and show everyone her beautiful, captivating side.

Blind them with it.

She had begun to miss her old school life, when everyone revolved around her.

Gu Lianyin nodded. "Yeah, Lin Yuan is really amazing. The reason I'm second in the class is because Lin Yuan is first~"

An unconscious smile appeared on her face.

"Oh? Oh? Oh? Has our Lianyin's heart started fluttering? Tell me, do you like that Lin Yuan?"

Ling Wanqing's gossiping instincts immediately flared up. She strongly suspected her best friend had fallen for him.

"Of course not! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Really not?"

"Really not! You're so annoying, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Gu Lianyin puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry.

At the same time, the question made her ask herself something.

Did she... really have some other unusual feelings toward Lin Yuan?

She could not say she liked him, but she definitely had a favorable impression of him.

He probably counted as her first male friend with whom she had a very good relationship.

"Lianyin, why is that Lin Yuan so nice to you?"

Ling Wanqing suddenly asked.

That question stumped Gu Lianyin.

Yeah, why was Lin Yuan cold toward everyone else, yet especially nice to her?

Not only had he tutored her, he had not disliked her because of the ugly appearance she had put on.

What exactly did a guy like that want?

She looked ugly in disguise. It could not be that he liked her, could it?

"Could he know that you're rich?"

Ling Wanqing guessed.

Gu Lianyin said, "I treated him to a meal before and told him I'd loaded several thousand into my meal card. I also told him my family was well-off..."

Gu Lianyin spoke hesitantly.

"That explains it!" Ling Wanqing clapped her hands and concluded, "He must be after your money. Otherwise, with how ugly you look in disguise, what guy would take the initiative to get close to you like this?"

"I'm telling you, if he suddenly asks to borrow money from you, don't lend him any, understand?"

Upon hearing that, Gu Lianyin did not believe Lin Yuan could be that kind of person.

But after hearing what her best friend said, combined with the fact that Lin Yuan really had borrowed money from her today...

Her thoughts began to run wild.

She did not dare tell her best friend that she had lent him money.

Otherwise, given her best friend's personality, she would definitely go to her school, find Lin Yuan in person, demand the money back, and get an explanation.

Before long, the exquisite, delicious food was served.

The two stopped discussing the matter and focused on clearing the food from the table.

The meal lasted more than an hour.

Feeling satisfied, the two prepared to leave.

When it was time to pay, Gu Lianyin took out her bank card.

"Hello, the balance on your card is insufficient!"

The cashier reminded her politely.

"How is that possible? There should be over a million in this card!"

Gu Lianyin was stunned and asked the cashier to swipe it again.

"Hello, the balance is still insufficient. Would you like to use another card?" the cashier said.

Gu Lianyin froze.

How could this be!?

"Lianyin, did you take the wrong card?" Ling Wanqing asked.

She knew her best friend's family circumstances. There was no way she could not afford this meal.

Gu Lianyin's face turned slightly pale. With a miserable expression, she looked like she was about to cry, pitiful and fragile.

"I didn't take the wrong card." Then she added, "Lin Yuan said he wanted to borrow money from me today. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I gave him this card..."

She told her everything that had happened today.

"What!"

Ling Wanqing's anger instantly flared.

"Gu Lianyin, Gu Lianyin, are you stupid? You handed a card with a million in it to a man you'd only known for a short time, and you still say you don't like him."

"I think you just... Sigh, what am I supposed to say to you?"

Gu Lianyin felt incredibly wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes, looking ready to spill out at any moment.

Ling Wanqing quickly paid the bill for her and pulled her out of the restaurant.

On the way, Gu Lianyin sobbed softly, on the verge of tears. Lin Yuan's image kept surfacing in her mind.

And it was slowly, continuously collapsing.
