Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 153 - 105: First Blood, the Grudge of Two Lifetimes Ends Here (Please Subscribe, Vote for the Month)_3
Forget about a seafood feast; even for a cup of coffee or milk tea, he would have to hesitate. Although he had worked hard, his efforts were negligible, perhaps due to a lack of foresight. In this international metropolis, millions of men like him were striving to make it, but how many could actually succeed? The vast majority were destined to lead mediocre lives. He, too, was just another man, as ordinary as they come. Aside from his height and looks, his circumstances were far worse than even Xu Zhi’s or Wang Shuai’s.
But what does any of that have to do with the man I am now? Life’s pleasures are meant to be enjoyed, so why let this golden spear idle under the moon?
Watching Bai Weixi in her flowing long dress, Li Yuan felt a sudden surge of passion. He walked straight over and embraced her from behind.
Bai Weixi’s body trembled. She had just started to turn when Li Yuan leaned in, pressing his lips fiercely against hers. He had waited for this day for two lifetimes. Now that he finally had the chance to fulfill his long-held desire, why wait any longer?
Under the late-night moon, two figures embraced passionately on the balcony, kissing with fiery intensity.
Both had been drinking, especially Bai Weixi. It was her first time, and just over two bottles of beer had been enough to leave the young woman tipsy, her exquisitely beautiful face flushed crimson. She seemed to have completely opened her heart, responding to Li Yuan with her entire being. Standing on her tiptoes with her arms wrapped around his neck, she awkwardly met his deepening kiss.
Li Yuan, too, gradually let go, abandoning his troubles and momentarily forgetting the scars of his past life. He wanted only to savor this moment, something he had once only dreamed of.
Bai Weixi was growing dizzy, her gaze becoming hazy. However, she retained a sliver of sobriety, enough to remember they were on the balcony where they could easily be seen.
"Li Yuan, not here. Someone might see us."
"It’s past midnight. Who’s going to see?"
"Li Yuan, don’t... Let’s go to the... the bedroom..."
Without another word, Li Yuan swept her into his arms, kicked open the bedroom door, and tossed her onto the large, soft bed, continuing his aggressive invasion.
"Li Yuan, you promised you wouldn’t get handsy! Mmph... mmph!"
"My promise was for yesterday. It’s a new day now, so I’m not breaking my word."
"You big scoundrel, you did it on purpose! You don’t even have a cat, yet you tricked me into coming over to see one do a backflip."
"Meow, meow. I’m a cat, you know. And tigers are cats, too. I’ll do a flip for you right now. Hehe, this big tiger is about to devour a little white lamb like you."
"Li Yuan, no... please, can you just give me a little more time?"
"Bai, I’ve been waiting for this day for a very, very long time."
"But... but I’m not ready! I’m begging you, please."
"You already agreed to be my girlfriend. What difference does it make if this happens a little sooner or later?"
"Bai, do you know why I came to Modu to buy this apartment the moment I got paid for my manuscript?"
"Why? Hey, what are you... Stop taking my clothes off! We haven’t even showered!"
"Bai, it’s because I wanted to have a home with you in Modu."
"Li Yuan... do you really love me? I’m so scared."
"How else do I need to prove my love? Aren’t three years of feelings enough?"
"I... I’m still a little scared, now that you’re so successful... You have to love only me."
"Of course I love you the most... Now stop talking. We’re kissing."
"Mmph... you big scoundrel."
Bai Weixi’s mind went blank. She felt her clothes being peeled off one by one until Li Yuan had stripped her bare. Her body trembled slightly. Although she had always known this day would come, she never expected it to be so soon. She had originally planned to use the high school reunion as a chance to ask Li Yuan what he had meant back then and why he had treated her that way. Unexpectedly, asking that one question had led to her being completely snared by him.
Bai Weixi clung to him tightly. Where their skin touched, hers felt scalding hot, and her heart pounded relentlessly.
"Li Yuan, will you love me for a lifetime?"
With the arrow nocked and drawn, Li Yuan answered without hesitation, "Yes. Not just one lifetime, but two."
Bai Weixi bit her lip. Tears welled in her misty eyes as she whispered, her voice barely audible, "Li Yuan, you have to be good to me."
"Mhm."
An unknown amount of time passed before he finally stopped. He glanced at Bai Weixi, who was now bundled up completely under the covers, a mix of joy and sorrow swirling within him. The dream he had held for two lifetimes was finally realized. A wave of complicated emotions washed over him. He couldn’t tell if it was dislike, affection, or a bit of both.
When I was first reborn, I despised Bai Weixi and kept her at arm’s length. Later, feeling I’d been wronged, I wanted revenge by stringing her along as one of my ’fish’. Then, after that forceful kiss at the train station and meeting Zhong Tingyue, Little Fish, and Xia Zhijin, I stopped caring so much about her. But just now, after fulfilling my life’s greatest wish, a trace of pity blossomed in my heart as I entered my ’wisdom time.’ Bai Weixi, the woman I once valued more than anyone... am I really going to take her virginity and then just heartlessly kick her to the curb?
Li Yuan hesitated.
Suddenly, he felt a tug on his clothes. He turned to see that Bai Weixi, who had fallen into an exhausted sleep, was now awake and looking at him with tear-streaked cheeks.
