Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

After obtaining the reward card from Liu Tingting, a week had already passed.

During this week, Jiang Linyuan used [Wall Street Wolf] to step onto the divine staircase of the stock market, one step at a time.

The shy red lines of the stocks were slowly being broken through by him, gradually revealing their alluring forms to him.

Got it! Got it! Poetry and distant horizons, I have them all!

Yeah, I am determined to become a peerless stock god!

"Senior, are you free tonight?"

Just as Jiang Linyuan was admiring his magnificent empire, a text message interrupted his train of thought.

Binary Little Sister, huh.

"What's up?"

"...I promised to treat you to a meal, senior! You didn't forget, did you?!"

Jiang Linyuan was startled, jolting upright like a dying patient sitting up in shock.

Had he forgotten?

He had.

These days, he had been busy flirting with Miss Stock. The cold growth of his balance had gradually chilled his heart, causing him to start neglecting the warmth of real life.

Money truly is the root of all evil!

It corrupts my dao heart!

"Junior, location and address, I'm on my way."

...

When Jiang Linyuan stepped into the KFC, he spotted Lin Yilin sitting alone at a glance.

Her delicate mouth was slightly pursed, forming a cool, sharp line, her expression serious and earnest, giving off an impression of being somewhat difficult to approach.

Binary Little Sister, sulking ing.

"Haha, junior, you're dressed very beautifully today."

Jiang Linyuan greeted her with a grin, taking the initiative.

Lin Yilin's face remained tense:

"If senior remembered that I was treating you, I might have been very happy to hear that."

After saying this, she shook her head and asked directly:

"What would senior like to eat?"

This was the good thing about Binary Little Sister—her emotions came quickly and left just as fast.

Unlike a certain petty, narrow-minded Smiling Tiger.

Jiang Linyuan ordered a few things casually and then asked:

"Junior, have you gotten used to university life by now?"

Lin Yilin nodded:

"It's quite a bit easier than I imagined."

After saying this, she looked at Jiang Linyuan, seeming to hesitate.

"Junior, if you have something to say, speak your mind freely."

Jiang Linyuan saw her hesitation and cut straight to the point.

Hearing this, Lin Yilin spoke somewhat hesitantly:

"These past few days, I've also heard some... well, rumors about senior, more or less."

"Reputation exists externally, sometimes good, sometimes bad. The past is the past, now I'm a pervert."

Jiang Linyuan said bluntly.

Mouths are on other people's faces, there's no way to control them.

Rather than internalizing the stress and exhausting myself, it's better to blame others.

Hearing Jiang Linyuan's words, Lin Yilin's little face couldn't quite hold its serious expression. She pretended to be proper and said:

"It's just that, many people say senior is a Green Tea Lick... uh, I mean they say you always have bad luck with people, that every girl you like is not a good person. It's too much, these kinds of rumors."

"Pfft, Green Tea Lick Dog, junior, you don't need to be so careful with your words."

Jiang Linyuan said with complete nonchalance.

"How can they be like this!"

Lin Yilin's eyebrows shot up as she said with a straight face:

"They are slandering you, senior! Adding all sorts of strange rumors to you for no reason! Isn't that terrible?! You should go clarify things for yourself!"

"..."

Looking at her earnest little face, Jiang Linyuan turned his head away and coughed once:

"Then let me clarify: what they're saying isn't a rumor."

Lin Yilin, who had been full of righteous momentum, instantly froze. Her mouth opened slightly as she asked in disbelief:

"Really?"

"Really."

Wow, what's going on here?!

I thought senior was the type with an unshakable, steadfast image, which was why he never paid attention to those words. Turns out it's because he couldn't refute the truth that he stayed silent!!

Seeing Lin Yilin fall silent, Jiang Linyuan wore a look of pride:

"Hahaha, so junior, if you ever meet a little Green Tea, you must introduce her to me."

What is this guy talking about?

Lin Yilin looked at Jiang Linyuan blankly, completely unable to understand what he meant.

After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out:

"Senior, you need to have self-respect and self-love."

Hehe, this Binary Little Sister is really cute. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After spending so much time with a Scumbag Woman like Su Muzhi, looking at this pure little junior now, Jiang Linyuan felt nothing but refreshed and delighted.

Lin Yilin suddenly seemed to remember something. Her face turned slightly red, her eyes darted away, and she looked a bit embarrassed.

"Then... is it also true what Minister Shen said, that you like to harass girls?"

Hmm? This kid is a bit tactless, you know? That one sentence of yours can offend two people, you realize that?

Jiang Linyuan spoke with grave sincerity:

"Minister Shen is actually a tsundere. Nine times out of ten, what she says is the opposite of what she means."

"This is undoubtedly her shy excuse in response to my enthusiastic expressions."

Tsun... tsundere?

Shen Wanyu's ice-cold face appeared in Lin Yilin's mind. She simply couldn't imagine her acting shy or coy.

"Yes, don't be fooled by her aloof, keep-your-distance demeanor. Actually, she's especially enthusiastic towards me. She took the initiative to buy me coffee and even sent me red envelopes to pursue me."

Jiang Linyuan said with a sigh:

"You see, she must have a crush on me but is too embarrassed to say it directly. She probably thinks you, junior, might be a threat to her, which is why she deliberately says bad things about me."

Is... is that right?

Lin Yilin shook her head, her face tense:

"Senior, are you talking nonsense again?!"

"Everything I said is the truth, junior. You're so pretty, full of charm, and have a great personality. It's not impossible for me to fall for you. It's only natural for the minister to worry."

Jiang Linyuan said with a grin.

Having been a good girl since childhood, where had Lin Yilin ever heard such straightforward words? From her neck to the roots of her ears, everything turned completely red. She spoke with a mix of embarrassment and anger:

"I would never like senior!"

"Aww, does this count as me being rejected? So sad, I want to transfer to Hogwarts."

"SENIOR!!!!"

Binary Little Sister let out a sharp shriek, her face so red it was about to turn into a steam engine!

"Hahaha, junior, I'll stop. I think our order is ready, I'll go get it."

Seeing the situation, Jiang Linyuan didn't say more. He immediately laughed it off, turned around, and left.

Hmm, threat neutralized.

They say the trope of the hero saving the beauty never goes out of style, and that's not an exaggeration at all.

A girl who just entered university, facing unfair treatment, and at that moment a handsome guy steps forward, stands in front of you, and speaks up for you.

It's only natural to have some beautiful daydreams, more or less.

If Lin Yilin were a bad woman, Jiang Linyuan wouldn't mind continuing.

But she's just an innocent young girl, better not mess with her.

By now, my image in Binary Little Sister's mind should be a Complete Mess.

...

Wow wow wow! This senior, all he knows is how to tease me!

So frivolous! And I used to think he was a particularly reliable and mature person!

Lin Yilin looked at Jiang Linyuan's retreating back and patted her own face.

So hot.

She turned her head away, trying not to look at Jiang Linyuan, but couldn't help stealing glances in his direction.

Even though she was only looking at his back, that was all she dared to do.

My face is so red, I can't see it myself, but senior must have seen it.

Thinking this, her heart grew slightly anxious, and her face flushed red once again.
