Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 133 - 99: A person has two legs, straddling two boats_2

As Li Yuan was speaking, he suddenly thought of the programmer’s curse, "going bald makes you stronger." He couldn’t bear the thought of Xia Zhijin, a beautiful, fairy-like girl, losing all her hair.

"You know, regarding the computer science major, you can study it if you want, but don’t if you don’t want to. If you really decide to learn, you could focus on animation design," he continued. "Hehe, later on, once our company’s game is developed, you can design heroes and skins in all sorts of styles. They’re sure to be bestsellers..."

As Xia Zhijin listened to Li Yuan’s enthusiastic talk, her eyes filled with admiration. Although she didn’t understand games before, she had learned from Li Yuan’s explanation that morning what kind of game "Honor of Kings" would be.

And if I could design the heroes myself and have players use them in the game, that would surely be fun and give me a great sense of achievement, right?

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan and replied earnestly, "Li Yuan, I will study hard."

Li Yuan smiled. "Mhm, I believe in you. My darling Zhijin is the best at everything she does. Let’s go back now."

"Okay," Xia Zhijin responded, but then she suddenly remembered something. "What about the company?" she asked in a low voice. "When everyone leaves for the night, there will be no one to lock up or clean. I... I think I should stay."

Li Yuan took her hand directly. "You’re such a worrier. I’ve already arranged everything."

I should really buy a car, Li Yuan thought as he drove the rented Audi A8. Renting all the time isn’t a sustainable solution, especially since I’ll probably be going back and forth between the university and the company a lot. And as my business empire expands, I’ll need a car even more. I’ll need to get a driver and some bodyguards eventually, too.

Arriving at the south gate of Daxia University, Li Yuan parked the car by the roadside, intending to walk Xia Zhijin to her dormitory first. "Zhijin, let me walk you back," he offered.

Xia Zhijin shook her head. "You have classmates waiting for you. You don’t need to walk me back; I can go on my own." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Li Yuan casually took her hand. "Those knuckleheads can wait. None of them are as important as my darling Zhijin."

The south gate of Daxia University was bustling with people. It was the weekend and a short break right after military training had ended, so streams of students were all around, and some cast curious glances their way.

With Li Yuan holding her hand, Xia Zhijin’s cheeks flushed red as she lowered her head. She struggled a little, but his grip was firm. "Let’s go," he said. "I’ll take you to your dorm first."

"Okay!"

Just as they were about to head toward the school, a timid voice suddenly called out, "Li Yuan?"

Hearing his name, Li Yuan looked toward the sound and spotted its owner under a Chinese parasol tree. Seeing the familiar figure, he immediately smiled and walked over with Xia Zhijin. He greeted him cheerfully, "Dazhi, why are you here alone? Where’s that guy Wang Shuai?"

Xu Zhi was a bit dazed. What did I just see? Li Yuan got out of a car? Well, that’s not a big deal. It’s just a car, and we all got our driver’s licenses after the college entrance exams. With Li Yuan’s wealth, I’d only be slightly surprised if he bought a sports car, let alone a regular one. But what happened next absolutely blew my mind. I actually saw him walking onto campus hand-in-hand with an incredibly beautiful girl. That’s practically a public declaration! Thinking back to Little Chili’s secret instructions when she sent me to find Li Yuan, my head is spinning. I really thought he and Bai Weixi would get back together. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, right after starting university, Li Yuan would find a girlfriend who was not just on par with Bai Weixi, but possibly even more beautiful... And holding hands so openly on campus? That means their relationship is already pretty serious... Wang Yuchen and I haven’t even reached that stage yet. Man, I’m getting really jealous. Comparing yourself to others is just infuriating...

Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Zhi’s mind. A flicker of awkwardness crossed his face as he greeted Li Yuan, "Yuan, I was wondering what was taking you so long. Turns out you were on an important mission."

Xu Zhi looked at the shy and nervous Xia Zhijin, then grinned at Li Yuan, his expression clearly saying, ’Hurry up and introduce me.’

Li Yuan understood the question in Xu Zhi’s eyes and calmly made the introductions while still holding Xia Zhijin’s hand. "Dazhi, this is my girlfriend, Xia Zhijin. We’re classmates."

Then, he turned back to Xia Zhijin and smiled. "Zhijin, this is my best friend from high school, my brother. His name is Xu Zhi—like the poet Xu Zhimo, but without the ’mo’. You can just call him Dazhi."

Xia Zhijin shyly nodded. "Hello."

Xu Zhi hurriedly greeted back, "Hello, sister-in-law."

The phrase "Hello, sister-in-law" made the already shy Xia Zhijin even more bashful. Her hand, held by Li Yuan, had grown sweaty—a clear sign of her nervousness. She stole a glance at the calm, smiling Li Yuan. A sweet sensation bloomed in her heart. It was an indescribable feeling, but it suddenly put her at ease...

Li Yuan asked curiously, "Where’s that handsome guy? Didn’t you say you two were coming together?"

Xu Zhi glanced at Li Yuan, then snuck another peek at the unfairly beautiful Xia Zhijin, unsure of how to reply.
