As Li Yuan and Bai Weixi sang the classic old song on stage, Wang Yuchen, Xu Zhi, and Wang Shuai all took out their phones to record a video, preserving the memory.
When the song ended, the look in Bai Weixi’s eyes as she gazed at Li Yuan had changed once again, now filled with happiness, love, and warmth.
"Wow, Li Yuan, Bai, your duet was amazing! I recorded the whole thing for you guys," Wang Yuchen said, shaking her phone.
Bai Weixi quickly took her phone and watched the video. A mix of shyness and tipsiness made her cheeks blush a deep, alluring crimson.
This was her first time singing a duet with Li Yuan at a KTV, and she was determined to save it. It was a memory she would cherish forever.
Having already chosen Li Yuan in her heart, she dreamed of a future together—from school uniforms to a wedding dress, from dark hair to silver strands. She wanted to walk with him until the end of time, until they grew old together.
Li Yuan glanced at Bai Weixi, his heart stirring with desire. After checking the time, he smiled. "It’s getting late. It’s already eleven, so let’s head back."
Wang Yuchen giggled. "Li Yuan, you big moneybags! As Bai’s family representative, I have to say I was very happy with the food and singing tonight. I’m satisfied with you, so I approve of this marriage between you and Bai."
Li Yuan’s mouth twitched. Her family? He’d rather Bai didn’t have a family member like her.
Xu Zhi winked at Li Yuan. "Yuan, it’s late and the campus gates are closed. Are we still going back?"
Li Yuan went along with it. "Then let’s not go back. There’s a star-rated hotel right here in the Longyu Building. We can just stay there for the night."
Wang Yuchen was also a bit drunk from her first time drinking. She grabbed Bai Weixi’s hand and said playfully, "Bai, let’s you and I share a room."
Bai Weixi nodded and shot Li Yuan an apologetic look, as if to say it wasn’t her fault.
Li Yuan simply smiled without a word. If he couldn’t even handle a little situation like this, he’d be getting nowhere. She already agreed. Does she think she can run now? Not a chance. She just had to be obediently won over.
Li Yuan suggested, "Let’s head to the hotel. It’s on the 16th floor, and I’ve already booked the rooms."
Wang Shuai and Xu Zhi had also had a lot to drink and were staggering as they walked.
Xu Zhi sidled up to Li Yuan and asked curiously, "Yuan, is this it for tonight?"
Li Yuan gave him a faint smile. "What else were you expecting? To seal the deal tonight?"
Xu Zhi had really impressed him today. He had assumed the guy was just another simp, but tonight, he’d discovered Xu Zhi actually had some nerve. He’d dared to copy Li Yuan’s move from the KTV and force a kiss, and was maybe even thinking about hitting a home run.
That was far bolder than Li Yuan had been in his past life. If he’d had Xu Zhi’s courage back then, he wouldn’t have been strung along for so long and would have won his girl over much sooner.
Xu Zhi rubbed his nose awkwardly. He had indeed been thinking that, but it was pointless. Wang Yuchen would never agree.
Li Yuan clapped him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Dazhi, I’ve created an opportunity for you tonight. Make sure you seize it."
The elevator ascended, and in a moment, they arrived at the GreenTree Hotel on the 16th floor.
Li Yuan went to the front desk, gave his name, and received three key cards—one each for Xu Zhi, Wang Shuai, and Wang Yuchen. As for himself, he had more important things to attend to.
Li Yuan handed Wang Yuchen her key card. "Yuchen, this one’s for you."
Wang Yuchen took the key card without a second thought. She grabbed Bai Weixi’s arm and was about to leave when Li Yuan called out to her.
"Yuchen, why don’t you go ahead and get washed up? Bai and I have something to talk about in private."
Wang Yuchen was very confused. "It’s already eleven at night. Where are you two going?" She turned to Bai Weixi. "Bai, do you really have something important to do?"
Bai Weixi was taken aback for a second, then nodded shyly without objecting. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Back at the KTV, she had already agreed to go with Li Yuan to see his pet cat do a backflip.
Feeling tipsy and tired, Wang Yuchen teased them without thinking, "Bai, Li Yuan, you two aren’t planning on disappearing for the night, are you?"
Li Yuan answered calmly, "Of course not. We’ll definitely be back. If we don’t come back, where would we sleep?"
It didn’t occur to Wang Yuchen that Li Yuan might already have his own place in Modu. She just smiled and said, "That’s true. Well, I’m going to go wash up and sleep. I’m a little dizzy from the drinks, and all that singing wore me out."
"Bai, come back early, okay? I get scared sleeping alone."
Li Yuan gave Xu Zhi a look, and Xu Zhi understood instantly. He stepped forward to support the unsteady Wang Yuchen and guide her to her room.
"We’re leaving now, Shuai," Li Yuan said. "You should get some sleep, too."
Wang Shuai clutched his own key card, his eyes full of suspicion as he watched Li Yuan and Bai Weixi walk away hand in hand. His gut told him something major was going to happen tonight.
If Yuan really doesn’t come back tonight, that would be awesome. I’ll have to hit him up for some advice privately tomorrow. I don’t need two girlfriends; just one is enough.
Bai Weixi let Li Yuan lead her by the hand, her heart suddenly fluttering with anxiety as she followed close behind him.
She had been fine when Wang Yuchen, Xu Zhi, and the others were around. But now that she was alone with Li Yuan and on her way to his apartment, she grew so nervous that the mild buzz from the alcohol began to fade.
She tightened her grip on his hand and said shyly, "Li Yuan, you promised me tonight. You swore. No... no getting handsy."
"I always keep my word," Li Yuan readily agreed. "Besides, the moon is beautiful tonight. We can start by admiring it." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Bai Weixi relaxed slightly. "Li Yuan, when did you buy a place in Modu?"
Li Yuan smiled. "Before the semester started, I think. As soon as I got my manuscript payment, the first thing I did was come to Modu and buy a place."
