Green Tea? She's Clearly a Hidden Gem!

Before Jiang Linyuan even reached the bathroom door, he saw Lin Yilin curled up in a corner.

Her face looked rather pale, and her lips lacked color.

"What's wrong with you? You look so pale," he asked, speaking up.

"N-nothing."

Seeing Jiang Linyuan, Lin Yilin's small face flushed red as she turned her face away.

This Binary Little Sister, why is she still hiding things from me?

"If you're not feeling well, just say so. You can go back and rest early if you need to." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Mhm, mhm, mhm..."

Lin Yilin's face turned even redder. It didn't seem like she was sick, but more like she was embarrassed that he had seen her like this.

Ah, I get it.

A realization dawned on Jiang Linyuan:

"Is it that time of the month?"

Lin Yilin blushed all the way to the tips of her ears, only able to nod. Why did he have to say it so directly? So embarrassing!

"Did you go to the bathroom to take care of it?" Jiang Linyuan asked again.

Lin Yilin felt like her face was about to explode from blushing. She muttered softly, "Someone's in there."

The villa they rented had two bathrooms, one in the living room and another in the master bedroom, but the master bedroom wasn't available to them.

Jiang Linyuan raised an eyebrow. "Still hasn't come out?"

Lin Yilin could only nod.

"I'll go check."

Jiang Linyuan felt something was off and walked straight to the bathroom door.

It was locked.

He knocked directly. "Anyone in there? It's urgent."

"You scared me! I just messed up my eyebrow!"

"Can't you see the door is locked?!"

A dissatisfied female voice immediately rang out from inside the bathroom:

"Hold it in! I'm doing my makeup in here."

Doing your makeup, my ass! Are you putting on funeral makeup or something?!

It's been over twenty minutes! Are you really just hogging the toilet without using it?!

"Can you come out for a moment? It's urgent," Jiang Linyuan urged.

"Can men like you just drop dead? Don't you know how to be courteous to women? I'm not coming out!"

The woman inside immediately threw out a classic 'feminist fist'.

Are you even human? I'm supposed to be courteous?

Jiang Linyuan rolled his eyes.

I feel like Xiang Yu, surrounded by so many 'Chu voices' (CS - Chu sounds, homophone for 'crap').

Jiang Linyuan couldn't be bothered to waste words on this woman.

Lock-picking Master, activate!

"Junior, can I borrow your hairpin?"

Lin Yilin nodded blankly, took the hairpin from her hair, and handed it over. "What are you going to do, Senior?"

"Just watch."

Jiang Linyuan obtained his specialized weapon. Without further ado, he started picking the lock!

The woman inside was still cursing and grumbling:

"Average Confidence men are so disgusting, speaking with zero class."

"Ugh, being in the same school as someone like you is really unbearable."

"Are you desperate? Well, I'm just not opening the door."

Click.

The door was picked open by Jiang Linyuan.

"Are you from Dunhuang? Why so many murals (so much talk)?" Jiang Linyuan pushed the door open and saw a woman smugly patting foundation on her face.

Seeing the door open, before the woman could even react, Jiang Linyuan yanked her out.

"Junior, you go in first."

Lin Yilin watched, stunned.

"What? Do you need me to go in and help you?" Jiang Linyuan said with a smile.

Lin Yilin's face instantly flushed red again. Worried, she said, "Senior..."

"You really want me to help?"

She didn't waste any more time, quickly walking into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

"Ahhh! What are you doing?!"

The yanked-out woman started with a furious roar, large amounts of powder shaking off her trembling cheeks.

"Are you trying to secretly film me?!"

Damn, ran into a genuine Average Confidence woman.

Let's just initiate a samurai duel.

"If you keep yapping, I'll slap you," Jiang Linyuan said bluntly, frowning.

The woman looked up and clearly saw Jiang Linyuan's face. Her previously fierce demeanor instantly deflated. Stammering, she said, "Why are you here? Are you also at this university?"

Oh? To save your skin, you're pretending to be an old acquaintance of mine?

"Sorry, I have something to do, I... I should go."

The woman didn't continue to engage with Jiang Linyuan. She picked up the powder puff from the floor and fled in panic.

"Did... something happen here?"

At that moment, Li Jianyi, hearing the commotion, came upstairs and gave a strange look to the woman who looked like she'd seen a ghost.

What's going on?

"That person, unfamiliar face. New recruit for the Student Union?" Jiang Linyuan looked at him and asked directly.

"Oh, her. New member of the Organization Department." Li Jianyi looked at Jiang Linyuan's expression and probed, "Any conflict?"

"If she had kept making a scene just now, then there would have been," Jiang Linyuan said with a cold laugh.

"Haha."

Li Jianyi felt somewhat awkward and could only say, "I think she might be from the same high school as you. Go easy on her if you can."

Same high school?

Hearing this, Jiang Linyuan felt a bit more understanding about his attitude towards that woman.

Back in high school, he wasn't as smooth in dealing with people as he is now. He had a more impulsive temperament, like an upgraded version of a 'spiritual youth' (rebellious teen).

Just before graduation, he encountered a bunch of idiots engaging in school bullying and directly fought with them.

The incident blew up pretty big, and the nature of it was quite severe.

So, did I beat up that woman in high school?

Jiang Linyuan thought about it.

Too many people that day, can't remember.

"Senior, are you okay?!"

In the time they were talking, Lin Yilin had already run out, her pale face filled with concern.

"I'm fine," Jiang Linyuan said, looking at Lin Yilin. "Is junior finished?"

What do you mean 'finished'?

Lin Yilin felt both angry and embarrassed.

After saying that, Jiang Linyuan looked at Li Jianyi again. "President, what kind of rotten fish and stinking shrimp have we been recruiting into the Student Union? Aren't you going to manage this?"

Hearing this, Li Jianyi immediately started pouring out his grievances. "Because of the Wang Yun incident last time, the school leadership specifically talked to me, saying I need to clean up the Student Union's atmosphere."

"Isn't that putting me in a tough spot? We're all university students. They call me Student Union President out of respect."

"But if we really get down to business, what authority do I actually have?"

Li Jianyi sighed and shook his head dejectedly. Seeing Jiang Linyuan and Lin Yilin standing together, he decided not to be a third wheel and walked off alone.

"Senior, that girl won't come looking for trouble with you later, will she?"

Seeing Li Jianyi leave, Lin Yilin stood beside Jiang Linyuan, her face full of worry.

Seeing the Binary Little Sister so worried, Jiang Linyuan couldn't resist teasing her a bit. He put on a pitiful act. "Junior, your senior's future is ruined. That girl said she's going to cyberbully me. What should I do?!"

Innocent as she was, Lin Yilin actually believed him. She clenched her fists. "That girl is too evil! Senior, I'll always stand by your side! We'll call the police first, then report the situation to the counselor..."

Seeing Lin Yilin start thinking seriously, Jiang Linyuan couldn't help but continue, "Junior, the power of public opinion is terrifying. If I'm stuck with a bad reputation, being pointed at and gossiped about, it'll be really troublesome for finding a job or getting a girlfriend in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Yilin's expression darkened.

Yes, public opinion can kill.

If Senior really gets slandered by that girl, with her spouting nonsense online, even if it gets cleared up in the end, the damage done to Senior would be indelible.

Senior did this for me! I have an obligation to take responsibility!

Thinking this, Lin Yilin lifted her head and said seriously, "It's okay. When the time comes, Senior can come work at my family's company. I'll discuss it properly with Dad."

"As for a girlfriend..."

At this point, her face turned red. She lowered her head, stealing glances at Jiang Linyuan from the corner of her eye, and muttered softly, "I... I..."

Haha, this is too much fun! This junior!

Looking at the Binary Little Sister's reaction, Jiang Linyuan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Seeing him laugh for no reason, Lin Yilin realized she'd been tricked. Puffing up her cheeks angrily, her face flushed crimson. "Senior can grow old alone for all I care!"

"What about the job from our dad?"

"What 'our dad'! That's my dad! No job for Senior either! I'll banish Senior to become a homeless person!"

"Wuwuwu, that's so heartless."

"Who told Senior to trick me!"

Lin Yilin's face was bright red. Her eyes glared fiercely at Jiang Linyuan's grinning face, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.

Minister Shen was right!

Senior Jiang just loves teasing girls!
