Lin Yu, the Big Liar

Class dismissed.

As soon as the teacher left, the classroom instantly buzzed with excitement.

Groups of students huddled together, chatting animatedly with the people sitting around them.

The topic on everyone’s lips was the same—the huge event that happened last night right outside the school gates!

“Hey!”

“Did you hear about it?”

“Lin Yu from our school is being offered 300,000 yuan to be kept for half a year. That’s like 50,000 yuan a month!”

A cute girl with a round face lowered her voice, waving her five delicate fingers in the air as if she had just discovered her favorite male celebrity had come out.

“No kidding,”

another girl, plain-looking but with an incredible figure, sighed and said thoughtfully,

“The woman who wants to keep him is really beautiful.”

“Even more beautiful than the stars on TV.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a stunning woman!”

Nearby, a petite girl with a childlike appearance sighed wistfully,

“Yeah, so pretty.”

“I wonder if she likes girls.”

“I don’t even want to try anymore!”

The little girl pouted playfully, half-joking, half-teasing.

Their lively chatter caught the attention of a freckled girl who was about to leave the classroom. She stopped beside their seats and asked curiously,

“What are you talking about?”

The freckled girl looked puzzled.

The three girls sitting down looked even more confused—mixed with a strong sense of shock—as if to say, “You don’t even know about something this big? Are you even paying attention at school?”

But soon enough,

the three girls excitedly recounted the whole story, adding their own dramatic flair to the freckled girl who was still clueless.

After all, spreading gossip is just as much fun as hearing it!

When the freckled girl finally heard the whole story, her mouth dropped open in surprise. Then, almost instinctively, she asked,

“Who’s Lin Yu?”

What makes him so special that a beautiful woman would choose him?

Is he handsome?

But none of the school’s heartthrobs were named Lin Yu, as far as she knew!

Hearing this, the three girls’ faces showed even greater shock—more than before.

“No way.”

“Wang Honghong, you don’t even know Lin Yu?!”

The cute round-faced girl’s eyes went wide with disbelief.

“Uh…”

The freckled girl didn’t understand why they were so surprised. She racked her brain but still couldn’t recall who Lin Yu was, so she shook her head honestly.

“He’s the blond guy!”

“The one who transferred from Campus A, with that weird hairstyle covering half his face.”

“Everyone at Campus A calls him Brother Long.”

The girl with the great figure raised her hand to cover the left side of her face, reminding her.

Seeing the freckled girl still looking lost, the petite girl couldn’t hold back any longer. She raised her voice a bit and said loudly,

“Come on!”

“He’s the guy who helped Manman in the hallway not long after school started!”

“The blond guy who said he’d always watch out for Manman!”

The little girl’s words hung in the air, and a sudden realization dawned on the girl’s face, as if she had finally remembered that person.

At the same time, the little girl’s unusually loud voice caught the attention of the students in the classroom. They all immediately turned their heads toward the four of them, then unconsciously focused their gazes on one spot...

...

At the center of their attention sat a girl, pen in hand, head lowered. It looked like she was jotting down some important notes.

But if you looked closely, you’d see that her notebook was completely blank.

The only ink marks were faint smudges caused by her gripping the pen too tightly, her hand trembling uncontrollably, leaving scattered scratches on the white pages.

Her eyes grew wetter and redder, and the tight line of her lips hidden beneath strands of black hair began to quiver involuntarily, as if she was struggling to hold back the bitter, painful emotions welling up inside her.

She bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the flood of feelings threatening to break free.

But she failed soon enough.

Under countless gazes.

She threw down her pen, wrapped her arms around the desk, and buried her face in it, as if trying to escape.

The people in the classroom were stunned by the scene. Everyone glanced at each other, then quietly lowered their voices, continuing their conversations in hushed tones...

...

“Long Ge, teach me, will you?”

As soon as class ended, the white-haired guy came bounding over, plopping down right next to Lin Yu’s seat, wearing a face full of earnestness.

“Teach you what?”

“Studying?”

Lin Yu sized up the white-haired guy with a raised brow, feeling something was off. This guy didn’t look like the type to suddenly straighten up and buckle down on his studies.

“Teach me how to get chased by a rich woman. I’m done trying!”

The white-haired guy grinned slyly, his true intentions laid bare.

“Damn you!”

Lin Yu was already annoyed by all the weird looks he’d been getting at school today. Now this loudmouth barged over, and Lin Yu wasn’t going to hold back.

He reached out, grabbed the guy by the neck, pinned him down on the desk, and with his other hand clenched into a fist, pressed his knuckles hard against the white-haired guy’s kidney point. The guy screamed in pain.

“Ah!”

“Long Ge!”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry!”

The white-haired guy begged for mercy repeatedly.

Lin Yu ignored him, only tightening his grip and pressing harder, a cruel smile spreading across his face as he said:

“You want to find a rich woman, huh?”

“Let me see if your hardware checks out.”

“This won’t do.”

“You’re calling out way too loud.”

“Too weak, don’t you think?”

While Lin Yu was roughhousing with the white-haired guy, students returning to the classroom from outside shot increasingly strange looks their way.

They all stared at Lin Yu’s fierce grin. Compared to the mostly teasing and slightly envious looks from earlier in the morning, now their eyes held almost no humor.

Only jealousy, and a kind of sour expression like seeing a brother suddenly driving a Range Rover.

Before, when the guys said they hoped things would go well for you, it was just bros joking around.

But now you’re actually doing well?

Feeling the weight of so many eyes on him, Lin Yu lost interest in messing with the white-haired guy. He glanced at the time and suddenly had a thought.

At this hour.

Could it be that the third female lead has come again?

Thinking this, Lin Yu left the classroom and walked over to the window in the corridor. Through the clean, transparent glass, he saw that supercar once again.

Sure enough, it was here again.

Lin Yu rubbed his brow and sighed softly in his heart about how troublesome the third female lead was.

But, in a way, that was just fine.

Even if she didn’t come looking for him, he would go find her himself.

After all, some things were better clarified.

Back in the classroom, the bell soon rang for class to begin.

After finishing the last self-study session, Lin Yu grabbed his backpack and left.

To avoid the awkward scene of being surrounded by people in the elevator, Lin Yu didn’t wait for it and instead took the stairs down.

On the first floor of the teaching building, Lin Yu happened to run into Gu Yue, who had just stepped out of the elevator.

Lin Yu originally didn’t want to bother with her and planned to head straight to find the third female lead, but unexpectedly, she chased after him with reddened eyes. Lin Yu had no choice but to walk toward the school gate with her.

“Long Ge, so you really weren’t lying to me yesterday,” Gu Yue said, pouting and looking pitiful.

Lin Yu still remembered how Gu Yue had looked down on him with that smug attitude last night. He deliberately put on a stern expression and said gruffly,

“Nonsense.”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“For fun?”

Gu Yue, scolded but still feeling wronged, pouted and walked alongside him for quite a while. Almost reaching the school gate, she frowned and said,

“Long Ge, you—you absolutely can’t agree to what that woman wants.”

“Even though she’s pretty and rich.”

“But…”

“But doing that just isn’t right!”

“Besides, I heard those rich people are all perverts.”

“Long Ge, you won’t be able to handle it if you go.”

“You can’t say yes to her!”

Gu Yue spoke with a pitiful tone, her eyes welling up with tears again.

“What nonsense are you talking?” Lin Yu frowned deeply and said with displeasure,

“Of course I won’t agree to her.”

“A real man, born under heaven, should stand tall and proud. How could I stoop to something like that for a little money?”

“Don’t talk about 300,000 yuan, even 500,000, a million, ten million, or even a hundred million!”

“I would never do something like that.”

“Selling your body for money? That’s something only the girls at nightclubs do.”

“Do I look like someone without dignity?”

At this, Lin Yu turned to Gu Yue, pointed at his own face, and asked.

“No, not at all!”

Though tears still shimmered in her eyes, Gu Yue was clearly moved by Lin Yu’s sincere words. She shook her head, her voice full of barely hidden joy.

“Well, that’s all I needed to hear.”

Lin Yu turned back and continued walking forward, speaking with righteous determination,

“I absolutely would never sell my body for money.”

“If I don’t have money, I can earn it myself.”

“If I can’t earn enough, I can just spend less.”

“To sell your body for money…”

“Hmph!”

“People like that disgust me!”

“Long Ge, what you just said is seriously awesome!” Gu Yue raised both hands and shouted, as if cheering for Lin Yu.

Seeing Gu Yue’s cheerful expression, Lin Yu couldn’t help but be influenced by her mood. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he spoke softly:

“Alright.”

“You should head back now.”

“I’ve got some things to take care of today, so I won’t be going back with you.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Gu Yue obediently nodded.

As they walked toward the school gate, just as they were about to part ways, Gu Yue casually asked,

“Brother Long, what are you busy with?”

“Adult matters—kids shouldn’t concern themselves with them.”

Lin Yu tossed out the words carelessly, then turned without looking back and strode toward a nearby supercar.

Gu Yue froze in place. She watched helplessly as Lin Yu climbed into the supercar, noticed the woman inside with a faint smirk on her lips, saw her cast a contemptuous glance in her direction, and then watched the supercar speed away.

It wasn’t until the taillights of the car nearly vanished from her sight that Gu Yue finally processed what had just happened.

Her body swayed.

Almost losing her balance, she quickly reached out to steady herself against the stone pillar of the school gate.

Her heart filled with bitter rage as she stared in the direction the supercar had disappeared.

Lin Yu!

You big liar!!!
