Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 134 - 99: People Have Two Legs, Feet on Two Boats_3

Do I have to tell you that it’s not just the three of us today? That your old flame is here too?

They’re about to come over. If you don’t leave soon, a battleground is going to erupt. A new love meeting an old one... just thinking about what kind of scene that would be gives me a headache...

Clearing his throat, Xu Zhi stuttered, "Uh, Handsome Guy has a stomach ache. He went to the bathroom." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Li Yuan wasn’t suspicious. He took Xia Zhijin by the hand and smiled. "Then you wait here for a bit. I’ll take Zhijin back to her dorm first."

Xu Zhi’s expression was a little strange, and he looked like he wanted to say something but held back. What could he say? Wasn’t it perfectly normal for a guy to walk his girlfriend back to her dorm?

"Yeah, go ahead and walk her back. I’ll wait here for Handsome Guy."

Without any suspicion, Li Yuan led Xia Zhijin toward the campus.

Watching the retreating figures of Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin, Xu Zhi hurriedly took out his phone to secretly snap a photo. The gossip-loving fire in his heart roared to life. He’d hit the jackpot on a huge scoop today.

Suddenly, he remembered something and cursed inwardly. Not long ago, Wang Yuchen, who had come with him, had already entered Daxia University to find her best friend, Bai Weixi. If they suddenly came out and Li Yuan ran into Bai Weixi while holding his new girlfriend’s hand, that would be interesting. The scene would surely be disastrous.

Damn it. If they run into each other, it’s all over for Li Yuan and Bai Weixi. Shit, it doesn’t matter if they’re through, but I hope I don’t get dragged into this. Yuchen has already fought with me several times because of Li Yuan. I just hope Li Yuan gets lucky.

Muttering to himself, Xu Zhi shuddered at the thought of them meeting. A chill ran through him, despite the summer heat.

He really couldn’t be blamed for this. Otherwise, he never would have agreed to Wang Yuchen’s request. Now that Li Yuan had a new girlfriend, the activities they had planned suddenly felt extremely awkward.

He pulled out his phone, wanting to send Wang Yuchen a text to have her tactfully warn Bai Weixi, but on second thought, it felt very inappropriate.

Xu Zhi muttered, "Screw it, I can’t get involved. It’s been three years. If their relationship is really broken and they can’t be together, then that’s just fate."

Just then, Wang Shuai walked over with a few drinks. "Where’s Yuan? Why isn’t he here yet? He’s taking longer than a girl."

Xu Zhi replied, "Yuan is walking his new girlfriend back to her dorm."

Wang Shuai did a spit take, his eyes wide with disbelief. "You’re not talking about Bai Weixi, are you?"

Xu Zhi shot him a look and said flatly, "Is that a serious question? If it were Bai Weixi, would I have phrased it that way?"

Wang Shuai’s brain crashed. He asked hurriedly, "Wait, what’s going on with Yuan? He’s only been at the university for a few days and he already has a new girlfriend? And what about Bai Weixi?"

"What about her? She’s out of luck. You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Xu Zhi was also speechless. Li Yuan was being too flippant about his relationships, even if his new girlfriend was by no means less stunning than Bai Weixi.

He still had a very good impression of Bai Weixi. After all, they had been high school classmates for three years. Plus, Bai Weixi had the face of a classic first love, a great personality, was always polite, and had top grades in school. If Li Yuan hadn’t made the first move, the number of guys chasing her would have been too many to count on two hands.

Wang Shuai was still in disbelief. "Are Li Yuan and Bai Weixi really over just like that? I feel like I’m dreaming."

"Yuan risked messing up his college entrance exams to get into Xia University for her. I really thought they would end up together... and now you’re telling me they broke up the moment they started university? And Yuan has already found someone new? This is ridiculous! Not even a TV drama would be this outrageous."

Xu Zhi sighed. "Who knows what happened between Li Yuan and Bai Weixi. After that incident in the class group chat last time, I just thought they were having a little fight."

"Well, forget it. It’s not like we can do anything about it. Yuan must have his own plans. Maybe they truly weren’t fated to be together."

Wang Shuai also sighed. "I just feel it’s a pity for Yuan. Even if they were going to break up, they should have at least dated for two or three years after making things official before splitting."

Xu Zhi widened his eyes. "Handsome Guy, what are you implying?"

Wang Shuai smirked. "Heh, we’re all men here. Do I really need to spell it out?"

Xu Zhi understood in a second, opening his mouth but then closing it again, hesitating.

Thinking about it that way, it really is a shame for Li Yuan. He pursued Bai Weixi for three years, only to give up right at the finish line. What kind of bizarre move was that? Even if he was going to break up with her, he should have done it after they’d actually gotten together. Otherwise, didn’t that mean the past three years were a complete waste? Purely idiotic behavior.

However, when he recalled Xia Zhijin’s figure and face, Xu Zhi felt it was somewhat understandable. He chuckled and said, "But, Handsome Guy, you didn’t see her. The new girlfriend Yuan found is also incredibly beautiful, not the slightest bit inferior to Bai Weixi."

Wang Shuai was skeptical and didn’t quite believe it. Bai Weixi was the undisputed school belle of their high school, the dream girl for countless boys. Even in the strict and stressful environment of high school, many boys from other classes had pursued her.

Now that she was in a university environment, wouldn’t she absolutely dominate? Could Li Yuan have really managed to date a girl comparable to Bai Weixi so quickly? He just couldn’t believe it.

Li Yuan held Xia Zhijin’s hand and walked her back to her dormitory without incident.

"Zhijin, it’s hot outside, so don’t wander around if you don’t have to. You can stay in your dorm and read. I’ll call you when I get back tonight."

Xia Zhijin blushed and nodded. "Okay, I know. You go on and do your thing."

Li Yuan, fearing a misunderstanding, added with a smile, "I’ll arrange for us to have a proper meal with them next time."

"I know, it’s fine."

"Bye!"
