Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 192 - 116: Earning 2 Million a Month, The Shocked Female Classmate (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Wu Hao nodded in deep agreement. "Tianyu has a point."
Suddenly, he realized what this kind of behavior meant. Wasn’t this just being a scumbag?
"Damn it, you guys are a bunch of scoundrels."
"I’m a pure, devoted man, and you’re all corrupting me. I need to stay far away from you."
The second class had already started, but Liu Jia still hadn’t returned. Li Yuan and the others exchanged glances; something was definitely up.
Damn it, did Liu Jia really take advantage of the opportunity? No way, no way. Could she be that easy to win over? Aren’t girls supposed to be hard to get? If you don’t compare her to Yuan’s girlfriend, Wang Jierong is actually pretty great. Sexy, mature, and voluptuous—the epitome of the ’innocently seductive’ look. We can just ask Liu Jia when he gets back. Still, that guy really has some tricks up his sleeve, and he’s got guts, daring to skip class on the very first day of university. Heh, compared to getting a girlfriend, skipping one class is nothing. It’s totally insignificant. Classes are temporary, but a girlfriend is for a lifetime.
The second class was a computer science course, and Li Yuan listened with much more focus. He used to be a freelance programmer, relying almost entirely on self-study.
Now that he was reborn, having a chance for systematic learning was a great opportunity.
As the bell rang to signal the end of class, Liu Jia was still nowhere to be seen.
Wu Hao spoke up, exasperated, "Shit, Liu Jia is something else. Who knows where he and Wang Jierong ran off to fool around? He even asked me to bring his textbooks back for him."
Xu Ziqiang clicked his tongue in amazement. "Looks like someone else in our dorm might be off the market soon."
Hiding his own part in it, Li Yuan smiled faintly. "We’ll have to make that little rascal treat us to a big meal later. He’s got some serious moves—not only does he talk the talk, he walks the walk. What else would you expect from someone from the Chuanyu region—"
Yi Jing patted Li Yuan on the shoulder and reminded him, "Hey, Yuan, your girlfriend’s here."
Li Yuan turned to see Xia Zhijin standing timidly behind him, with her crafty advisor Shen Xiyu by her side.
He immediately put on a smile and greeted them, "Zhijin, Xiyu, you two haven’t left yet?"
Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan before shyly lowering her head, nervously fidgeting with the corner of her clothes.
Shen Xiyu pouted and huffed, "It’s because we were waiting for you. Zhijin wants to have lunch with you."
Wu Hao grinned mischievously. "Well, well, Yuan, your girl is waiting to have lunch with you. We won’t disturb your private time. See you!"
Xu Ziqiang pulled on Yi Jing’s arm. "Jing, stop staring. Let’s go. Yuan has a date."
"It’s fine, you can all come. I’m treating, at the small cafeteria," Li Yuan said, feigning a casual air.
He groaned inwardly. Since it was right after class, having a few roommates around could provide some cover. If he were to walk alone with Xia Zhijin and eat with her in the cafeteria, his secret would definitely be exposed. The timing wasn’t right yet, and he couldn’t think of any other solution, so he could only stall for as long as possible.
Wu Hao licked his lips, tempted. "Wow, Yuan, you’re treating again? We’d feel bad taking advantage."
Xu Ziqiang glanced from Li Yuan to Xia Zhijin and Shen Xiyu, feeling that this might be a bit inappropriate. But the food at the small cafeteria was truly delicious.
He asked in a low voice, "Um, would you two ladies mind?"
Xia Zhijin looked flustered, her cheeks flushing as she turned to Shen Xiyu. This was her first time going to eat with Li Yuan’s roommates.
Seeing the eager looks on the faces of Wu Hao, Xu Ziqiang, and the others, Shen Xiyu could only nod helplessly. She had originally wanted Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin to have lunch alone.
"Alright then, we’ll really make Li Yuan splurge on us today."
Wu Hao cackled. "No problem! Yuan is a tyrant, he won’t care."
"That’s right! Yuan is a real tyrant with a monthly income in the millions. All of our classmates’ living expenses combined don’t even add up to a tenth of his."
Li Yuan turned to Xia Zhijin and asked with a smile, "Zhijin, why don’t you invite your other roommates too? Let our two dorms get to know each other."
Xia Zhijin nodded shyly. "Okay, I’ll go get them."
On the way, the group of more than ten people walked in a large, impressive procession toward the small cafeteria. The journey was uneventful, and Li Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
They arrived at the same small cafeteria and took the same seats, with the students from both dorms sitting together.
As they chatted, the conversation eventually turned to Li Yuan. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Gao Xin asked with great excitement, "Li Yuan, I want to ask, can I write web novels too?"
"Is writing novels really that profitable? If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you actually earn a month now?"
Ge Chenchen, Li Lanrong, Shen Xiyu, and the other girls also stared at Li Yuan curiously, awaiting his answer.
Wu Hao, Xu Ziqiang, and Zhou Tianyu were just as curious. They only knew that Li Yuan could earn millions a month, but they weren’t clear on the exact amount of his royalties.
Li Yuan smiled and gave them a middle-of-the-road figure. "My monthly royalties are around 2,000,000, give or take. It will probably decrease in the future. The amount mainly depends on the number of subscribers and the number of updates. The more you write, the more you earn."
"What? Two million a month? That’s terrifying!"
Gao Xin exclaimed, her face a mask of disbelief. She had thought earning a million a month was just an exaggeration, but it turned out to be an understatement.
Ge Chenchen’s eyes also widened in shock, a look of deep envy on her face.
"Two million a month... you could buy two apartments in Modu with cash."
At that thought, her sense of superiority as a Modu native instantly vanished.
Although her family was quite well-off, owning two properties in Modu, they were nothing compared to Li Yuan.
Shen Xiyu also found it incredible. She suddenly began to understand why Wang Jierong was so relentlessly persistent with Li Yuan.
