Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 188 - 115: The Focus of the Entire Class (Please Subscribe)_2

[Wow, I’m getting all warm and fuzzy. Xia Zhijin and Li Yuan are a match made in heaven—the perfect image of a talented man and a beautiful woman, a couple in perfect harmony.]

[Li Yuan is so manly! He walked right up to Xia Zhijin in front of everyone and ate the breakfast she brought him. He’s truly worthy of the name Talented Li, the Great Writer.]

[Li Yuan is one lucky guy, too. Xia Zhijin is so beautiful, gentle, and innocent. For her to like him, he must have hit the jackpot.]

[Hehe, how else could he make a million a month at his age? He’s got a great eye. It’s like he has the Eyes of Golden Flame, spotting Zhijin’s charm on the very first day of class.]

[If Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin actually make it to the end, I’ll start believing in love again.]

Xia Zhijin was overjoyed to see Li Yuan happily eating the breakfast she’d brought. She glanced at him shyly and said, a little apologetically, "Li Yuan, I think I should go sit with Xiyu and the others."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded. "That’s fine. I’ll go sit in the back." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Xia Zhijin’s gaze drifted toward Wang Jierong. She seemed to hesitate, then just gave a timid "Mm-hm" in response.

Li Yuan smiled. "Pay attention in class. ’Political Theory’ is actually pretty interesting."

"Got it," Xia Zhijin replied obediently.

As Li Yuan turned and walked up the steps of the lecture hall, he overheard the quiet discussions of many different people.

[Is that the prodigy from Computer Science Class One? I hear he’s a web novelist who makes a million a month.]

[For real? A million a month? That has to be an exaggeration, right? You guys actually believe that? How can someone make that much just from writing a novel? A million can get you an apartment in Modu.]

[I’m not sure if it’s true, but that’s what everyone’s saying online. There’s no smoke without fire, you know? He’s the author of *Battle Starry Sky*, one of the most popular web novels out there right now. Even if he isn’t making a million a month, he’s probably pulling in a few hundred thousand.]

[Damn, I’m so jealous. A million a month... With the kind of salary we’ll get after graduating, we couldn’t earn that much even if we worked for ten years.]

[Exactly! Why else do you think he blew up online so fast? It’s because it’s so insane.]

[Hey, hey, did you guys notice that girl who just stood up? She’s gorgeous, like a fairy who fell from heaven. She has that pure, unforgettable aura of a first love.]

[Dream on. Didn’t you see she already has a boyfriend? And it’s that web novelist who makes a million a month. They’re a perfect match of talent and beauty.]

[I’m just saying. What if they break up one day? Maybe I could pick up the pieces.]

[Heh, keep dreaming. Just pay attention to the lecture.]

...

Li Yuan didn’t return to his original seat. Instead, he walked right over to Liu Jia and patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Jia, ever the considerate one, immediately scooted over one spot to make room for him.

Li Yuan had just sat down when Liu Jia leaned in and asked curiously, "Yuan, what did Wang Jierong say to you?"

Li Yuan glanced at him. At first, he’d thought Liu Jia was actually serious about pursuing Wang Jierong. He later realized the guy was all talk. He just lusted after her body and had no intention of putting in any sincere effort.

"She said she can unlock many positions and asked if you wanted to try," Li Yuan said with a strange expression.

"What does ’unlock many positions’ even mean?" Liu Jia asked, confused.

Li Yuan just gave a knowing smile and didn’t answer. He took out his phone and started selectively replying to the messages flooding in.

Before long, the professor for the first ’Political Theory’ class entered the room and began his lecture.

Wang Jierong, meanwhile, sat fuming by herself in a back row, glaring at Li Yuan’s back so intensely it looked like her eyes could shoot fire.

Li Yuan, you flirt and run? You’re not a real man! But the more you play hard to get, the more interested I become. Sooner or later, I’m going to make you mine, and then I’ll kick you to the curb.

...

As Li Yuan listened, he grew incredibly bored. He had already taken this course in his previous life.

The professor, surnamed Xun, lectured so vividly and engagingly that students like Liu Jia, Yi Jing, and Wu Hao were listening with rapt attention.

Bored, Li Yuan started replying to text messages.

Bai Weixi: "Honey, what’s your first class? Mine is Advanced Mathematics. It’s a bit hard, and I don’t really get it. Can you teach me when you have time?"

Li Yuan: "Bai, what makes you think I know Advanced Mathematics?"

Bai Weixi: "But honey, you used to be amazing at math! You were first in our class."

Li Yuan: "You should focus on the lecture and put your phone away. I don’t like girls who get bad grades or fail their classes."

Bai Weixi: "Hmph! I’m not going to fail. I’m going to win the national scholarship!"

The national scholarship? Is it really that easy to get? Especially at a top-tier university like Xia University, which is full of academic elites? Then again, Bai Weixi scored over 640 on her college entrance exam. She’s a genuine academic prodigy, far more impressive than me, since I only got into Xia University by a stroke of luck. Wait a minute... aren’t Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin also academic prodigies?

Li Yuan’s expression changed as he muttered to himself. Don’t tell me I’m going to be the only one who fails when finals come around. That would be so embarrassing. Never mind, I’ll just cram for it then. Besides, it would be wonderful to have my dear Zhijin give me private tutoring lessons.

Having been reborn, Li Yuan had long since tossed all that academic knowledge to the winds.

Luckily, his chosen major was computer science. He had worked as a part-time programmer for several years in his past life. Although his skills were unrefined, they were more than enough to pass the university exams.
