Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 194 - 117 Initial Website Test, Roommate Wants to Chase My Girlfriend? (Two in one, please subscribe) _2
"COUGH, COUGH. Zhijin, does Xiyu have a boyfriend?"
Li Yuan’s intimate gesture under everyone’s watchful eyes caused Xia Zhijin’s cheeks to turn crimson, and she answered in a barely audible voice, "I... I don’t know."
Li Yuan pressed on, "Aren’t you two close? Didn’t she teach you how to date or something?"
Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan before quickly lowering her head again, answering shyly, "Um, Xiyu... she seems to know a lot."
Li Yuan spoke with a serious expression, "Zhijin, you should pay some attention to your friend Xiyu and help her find a boyfriend. Look, my roommates aren’t so bad."
Li Yuan was genuinely worried now. With a crafty advisor like Shen Xiyu around, an innocent and precious girl like Xia Zhijin would be led astray by her sooner or later. Today, she dared to ask to have breakfast with him. Tomorrow, she might dare to check up on his whereabouts, and the day after, she might even dare to check his phone. How could he let that happen? He had to find something to keep this crafty advisor busy. If Shen Xiyu could just get a taste of sweet love for herself, she definitely wouldn’t have time to corrupt his precious Zhijin.
Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan with confusion and asked softly, "But why?"
Li Yuan answered earnestly, "Don’t you think being in love is wonderful and sweet? Since she’s your best friend, you should let her experience that sweetness too, right?"
"You have a point." Xia Zhijin’s cheeks flushed as she glanced at her best friend, who was still arguing with Zhou Tianyu. She suddenly felt that the two of them were actually quite a good match.
...
The meal was very relaxing. The conversation was filled with amusing stories about university life, allowing Li Yuan to experience a long-lost feeling. It’s absolutely true that your university years are the happiest time of your life. There’s no pressure from grades, no stress from work, and no financial burdens. You don’t have to deal with the trivial details of daily life. All you have to do is enjoy yourself and fall in love a few times. Who wouldn’t love that?

Li Yuan patted Zhou Tianyu on the shoulder and said with a mischievous smile, "Tianyu, you’re really something. Found yourself a target already."
"You’ve got good taste. Shen Xiyu is pretty good, all things considered. You’d better hurry up and win her over. I’m rooting for you."
Zhou Tianyu looked at Li Yuan, completely baffled, and frowned. "Li Yuan, what are you talking about? What the hell does Shen Xiyu have to do with me? Since when did I say I wanted to pursue her?"
Li Yuan was taken aback. Had he misunderstood? The way they were bickering at the dinner table made it seem like the interest was mutual.
Seeing Li Yuan’s expression, Zhou Tianyu instantly understood.
"Heh, Li Yuan, you’re so eager to set me up with Shen Xiyu. You think I don’t know what kind of scheme you’re cooking up?"
Li Yuan asked with a deadpan expression, "Then why don’t you tell me what I’m up to?"
Zhou Tianyu smirked. "We’ve both been there. I know better than you do how difficult it is when your girlfriend has a best friend whispering advice in her ear."
Li Yuan froze, his gaze toward Zhou Tianyu changing. This guy... could he be a kindred spirit?
Zhou Tianyu gave Li Yuan a meaningful look and said, "Li Yuan, just don’t screw it up."
Li Yuan retorted, "What could I possibly screw up?"
Zhou Tianyu stared at Li Yuan, speechless. "It’s just the two of us here, and you’re still playing dumb? Don’t tell me you’re not in contact with Zhong Tingyue and that beauty in the hanfu from the other day anymore."
Li Yuan was dumbfounded. He hadn’t thought that far ahead, figuring things would change, but now all his secrets were exposed to his roommates.
"Tianyu, are you still pursuing Zhong Tingyue?"
Zhou Tianyu answered calmly, "I tried. I got no response, so I gave up. She likes you."
A jolt went through Li Yuan’s heart. Damn it, if Zhou Tianyu let even a little bit of this slip, his cover would be blown.
"COUGH, COUGH. How can you be so sure?"
"It’s been over half a month since we met that day. In that time, I’ve sent her flowers three times, called her thirty-six times, and sent her seventy-two text messages. And you know what? She only replied once, and it was about you."
Zhou Tianyu’s composure started to crack. He had never met a girl so difficult to pursue.
"Li Yuan, tell me. If she doesn’t like you, do you really think she’d like me?"
Li Yuan was stunned by Zhou Tianyu’s confession. Seriously? This guy was called the Casanova of Guanyun? He was more like the number one simp of Guanyun. Heh, so everyone has a history of simping. It looked like Zhou Tianyu’s was even more tragic than his own. For gorgeous girls like Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi, it was easy for a guy to unknowingly become a simp the moment he started pursuing them. To the girls, it probably meant nothing. With so many guys chasing them, were they supposed to respond to every single one? Agree to date every single one? They’d be busy to death. It was the same for him. Over the past few days, girls had somehow gotten his phone number and QQ. They were constantly sending him messages, asking how he was, and even sending him suggestive photos... In fact, two of the girls he had lunch with today were among them.
"Tianyu, I think you should pursue a different girl. Zhong Tingyue isn’t your type, so why get hung up on one person? Our Xia University is full of beautiful women; you could pursue any one of them."
Zhou Tianyu didn’t argue. Instead, he suddenly smiled and said, "Li Yuan, you’re not wrong. Xia University really does have a lot of gorgeous women. One time, when I was giving flowers to Zhong Tingyue, I saw another really beautiful girl with her. I think she might be her roommate."
"That girl is just as attractive as Zhong Tingyue, but she doesn’t seem so cold. She has a gentle and refined air about her, so she should be easier to pursue."
