Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 193 - 117 Initial Website Test, Roommate Wants to Chase My Girlfriend? (Two in one, please subscribe)
Li Yuan made two million a month, which was about sixty to seventy thousand a day, and two to three thousand per hour.
Their monthly allowance was only about five or six hundred, or perhaps a thousand for those from better-off families. The disparity was terrifying to even think about.
Li Yuan wasn’t just the rich second-generation heir they had initially thought, but a true, self-made, super-rich individual, far beyond the limits of their imagination.
Shen Xiyu said blankly, "Li Yuan, you can earn nearly two to three thousand yuan just in the time it takes for us to have a meal?"
"I see now why Wang Jierong clings to you so persistently. She’s certainly playing her cards right," Shen Xiyu remarked.
When Shen Xiyu said this, Ge Chenchen and Gao Xin exchanged strange looks, their expressions growing a little awkward. They both felt that Shen Xiyu’s words carried a hidden meaning.
Li Yuan laughed it off, not wanting to discuss the issue. He had grown tired of showing off these past few days, feeling a kind of dull emptiness, as if he had entered a sage-like state of detachment. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Can we change the topic? Please stop talking about me. I feel like all my secrets are being stripped bare."
Wu Hao chuckled. "That’s because you’re too incredible, Yuan. In a way, you’re already a public figure. At least here at Daxia University, it won’t be long before everyone knows who you are."
"You might even get mobbed by readers while walking on the street, asking for autographs just like those well-known young authors from back then."
Thinking about the possibility Wu Hao described, Li Yuan shuddered. He hastily waved his hands and said through gritted teeth, "No way. I just want to live a low-key life. If I find out who leaked this, I’ll definitely teach them a lesson. It would cause a huge disruption in my life."
Shen Xiyu laughed teasingly. "How could it not be a disruption? If you wanted, the line of girls wanting to chase you would stretch from Bamboo Garden to Mei Yuan."
"But, Li Yuan, you’d better not do Zhijin wrong."
Xia Zhijin sat next to Li Yuan, listening quietly. Even without saying a word, her mere presence was a beautiful sight.
"Heh, you don’t need to tell me that." Li Yuan quietly took Xia Zhijin’s small hand and smiled. "You all don’t need to worry about it."
Shen Xiyu made an exaggerated face. "Oh, come on, stop with the public display of affection! It’s not suitable for children. My eyes!"
When Li Yuan grabbed her hand, Xia Zhijin’s cheeks flushed. She glanced at him before quickly lowering her head, an incredible sweetness filling her heart.
Seeing Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin’s affectionate display, Ge Chenchen’s mood suddenly turned a bit gloomy. She changed the subject, asking, "I heard club recruitment starts in a few days. Have you all thought about which ones you want to join?"
Wu Hao asked curiously, "Chenchen, what clubs are recruiting?"
Ge Chenchen looked at Wu Hao and smiled as she explained, "I think there are the university and department Student Unions, the Youth Volunteer Alliance, and all sorts of other clubs, like the Taekwondo Club, Literature Club, Music Club, Roller Skating Club, and so on. The recruitment events should be held this weekend."
Wu Hao laughed heartily, joking, "Chenchen, you really have the inside scoop."
Ge Chenchen just smiled without commenting. After all, she was a Modu native.
Gao Xin was the first to raise her hand, speaking with a grin. "I like writing things like poems and essays, so I want to join the Literature Club. I wonder if the requirements are high."
"But if Talented Li signs up for the Literature Club, I bet the president would welcome you with open arms. They might even offer you their position! Then I could bask in some of your reflected glory."
Li Yuan chuckled to himself and said, "Our school’s Literature Club is probably geared more towards traditional literature, which is worlds apart from web novels. They might even look down on online literature."
Gao Xin stared at Li Yuan and suddenly suggested, "Then we could apply to start a Web Novel Club! With your influence as a Great Writer who earns millions a month, you’d surely attract a huge following. I’d be the first to sign up!"
COUGH. COUGH.
Li Yuan remained silent.
He always felt that this literature-loving roommate of Zhijin’s, Gao Xin, had a special interest in him. But she only ever talked about literary creation, which made him wonder if he was misinterpreting things. Ever since the semester began, his Peach Blossom Luck had been so good that he constantly had the same illusion: *this girl likes me*.
Shen Xiyu laughed. "I want to join the Taekwondo Club. I can learn self-defense, perfect for fighting off perverts and scumbags."
Zhou Tianyu glanced at Shen Xiyu and unexpectedly interjected, "I think the Sanda Club is better than the Taekwondo Club. Taekwondo is all for show; it’s useless in a real fight."
Shen Xiyu immediately retorted, "Hmph, Zhou Tianyu, you underestimate Taekwondo. I studied it for several years. It’s very effective in real combat; two or three guys are usually no match for me."
Zhou Tianyu pursed his lips. "What a coincidence, I’ve also learned Sanda. Maybe we can have a friendly match sometime."
Shen Xiyu immediately shot back, "Fine, let’s do it! I still think Taekwondo is stronger than Sanda."
Li Yuan looked at Zhou Tianyu and Shen Xiyu with a baffled and curious expression.
Could Zhou Tianyu have taken a liking to Shen Xiyu? It wasn’t impossible. Shen Xiyu was the type of girl who grows on you. In his opinion, in terms of looks, she was second only to girls like Xia Zhijin, Tan Yanqiu, and Wang Jierong in their class. However, Zhou Tianyu was a rich second-generation heir and a seasoned playboy, known for countless romantic exploits. Why would he take an interest in the relatively ordinary Shen Xiyu?
Li Yuan couldn’t figure it out. He quietly leaned closer to Xia Zhijin, inhaling her delightful scent. It wasn’t perfume, but rather seemed to be a lavender-scented body wash.
