Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 119 - 93: The Exploded Class Group Chat, Li Yuan Became Tang Monk Meat (Combined - , Please Subscribe)_4
Zhou Tianyu, Liu Jia, and Wu Hao read the message in the class group chat, then looked at the trembling Xu Ziqiang with helpless expressions.
Liu Jia cleared his throat. He, too, felt that Xu Ziqiang had been in the wrong; he clearly should have consulted Li Yuan first. "Ahem, Yuan," he said, "the news has already spread. What’s your plan?"
Wu Hao also tried to console him. "Yuan, maybe try looking at it from another angle. Now that the news is out, it might not be a bad thing. From now on, you can strut around campus."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes. "I’m not a crab, so I can’t walk sideways."
"Forget it. What’s done is done. I’ll just have to keep a lower profile from now on."
Xu Ziqiang looked at Li Yuan anxiously, afraid he would hold a grudge. He continued to apologize earnestly, "Yuan, I messed up. I’m really sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you."
Li Yuan grinned mischievously. "Old Xu, since you’re apologizing so sincerely, and we’re brothers, I’ll forgive you. But you have to wash my socks for a month."
Xu Ziqiang’s face lit up. "Yuan, just wash your socks for a month? No problem at all! Forget one month—I’ll do it for three, as long as you’re not mad at me!"
Li Yuan gave an awkward laugh. He had just been joking.
"Old Xu, don’t be so hard on yourself. Just be more careful next time. If something like this happens again, talk to us bros before you act."
Xu Ziqiang nodded seriously. "I swear, it won’t happen again."
Seeing that Li Yuan had forgiven Xu Ziqiang, Liu Jia and Wu Hao breathed a collective sigh of relief. The roommates all got along quite well, and it would have been awkward if this incident had caused a rift between them.
Li Yuan felt mentally drained. He stood up and lay down on his bed. "Alright, guys, it’s almost midnight. Everyone wash up and go to sleep."
Seeing Li Yuan about to go to sleep, Liu Jia suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Yuan, you write so many words every day. How come I’ve never seen you do it?"
Li Yuan shot him a look. Let you guys see me typing? Wouldn’t that be social suicide? But now that they all knew, it didn’t really matter anymore.
"Well, you know I took leave from military training, right? While you guys were out there, I was in the dorm, typing away."
Realization dawned on Liu Jia, and everything suddenly clicked into place.
During military training, Liu Jia had been puzzled. Why had Li Yuan gotten into a competition with the instructor and then just stopped showing up?
University military training was tough, but it was also a rare, once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a real shame to miss it.
Now that he thought about it, this had all been premeditated.
After all, half a month of military training wasn’t much to them. But for Li Yuan, it meant an income of hundreds of thousands—almost enough to buy an apartment in Modu.
Compared to that, military training was indeed insignificant.
Having figured all this out, Liu Jia gave Li Yuan a thumbs-up. "Yuan, you really are a Great Writer. One move after another... you’re freaking awesome."
The others had a sudden realization as well. They now understood why Li Yuan had abruptly picked a fight and competed with the instructor.
"It’s not exactly what you think. Now, go to sleep. Dammit, I’ve been busy all day, and I’m dead tired," Li Yuan muttered. He lay back on his bed and opened his phone, greeted by a barrage of friend requests.
["Yanqiu" has requested to add you as a friend (Note: Great talent, I’m Xiang Qin. Can you add me?)]
Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected a girl with the personality of the class monitor, Xiang Qin, to take the initiative and add him. He tapped "Accept."
["The most beautiful Rongrong" has requested to add you as a friend (Note: Heehee, great talent, guess who I am!)]
["Kinda kawaii" has requested to add you as a friend (Note: Hey handsome, accept me!)]
...
Li Yuan did a quick count. Of the 24 girls in his class, 18 had suddenly sent him friend requests.
He raised an eyebrow, and the corner of his mouth curled up. "Have I become Tang Monk Meat?" he mused to himself.
