Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 205 - 119 Li Yuan: Will You Marry Me in the Future? (Two in One, Please Subscribe) _3
Li Yuan glanced at Bai Weixi in the bedroom, and his heart leaped into his throat. A huge explosion is imminent, and it’s getting closer with each passing moment, he thought.
"COUGH, COUGH. Your roommates know about me? I just write web novels; it’s nothing worth publicizing, so I didn’t mention it."
"Senior, you’re being too modest. Your *Battle Starry Sky* is famous all over campus now. Who doesn’t know about it? Hehe, a few of my roommates even want you to teach them how to write novels. They asked me to ask you about it."
Li Yuan asked curiously, "Hahaha, am I really that famous? Why do you all want to write novels?"
"Senior, you’re a Great Writer earning a million yuan a month. Do you know how much our monthly allowance is for us ordinary college students? Only six hundred yuan! Haha, are you surprised?"
Surprised, my ass. In my previous life, I set a record by spending less than 300 yuan in a month. I did it all just to save money for a gift for someone, putting up a front and pretending to be a "rich second-generation heir." But in a high-consumption city like Modu, it was impossible to keep up the pretense.
Considering Zhong Tingyue’s fashionable, name-brand clothes, she must come from a well-off family. She doesn’t seem like someone who needs money.
Curious, he asked, "Little Moon, you’re not short on money, are you?"
Zhong Tingyue countered, "Talented Li, how would you know that I’m not short on money?"
I could tell by the feel of your legs, he really wanted to say. The stockings Zhong Tingyue wore last night seemed to be Balenciaga. They were excellent quality and felt very nice to the touch.
Li Yuan was still thinking about how to reply when Zhong Tingyue sent another message, "Senior, Tingrou and Shanshan wanted me to ask if you’re free tomorrow night. They’d like to treat you to dinner."
A jolt went through him, and he instantly felt a headache coming on. Xu Tingrou and Ding Shanshan knew him. They’d eaten together in the cafeteria, had barbecue together, and knew his relationship with Zhong Tingyue was unusual. In their eyes, he and Zhong Tingyue were childhood sweethearts. They were very close, perhaps even a couple. And Bai Weixi was their roommate too. The connections were too close. If one of them accidentally let something slip, things would get seriously messy... His heart was in his throat and his head felt a little dizzy. He felt like he was walking a tightrope, the kind where he could fall at any moment. If the girls were chatting and Bai Weixi or Zhong Tingyue casually mentioned something about their boyfriends, revealing even the slightest detail, he was toast.
A scenario had already formed in Li Yuan’s mind.
Zhong Tingyue: "Bai, which school does your boyfriend attend?"
Bai Weixi: "Right here at Daxia University."
Zhong Tingyue: "What a coincidence! My boyfriend is at Daxia University, too. What’s his major?"
Bai Weixi: "First-year computer science."
Zhong Tingyue: "What a coincidence, so is mine."
Bai Weixi: "My boyfriend is a Great Writer. He wrote *Battle Starry Sky*, which is super popular. He earns a million a month."
Zhong Tingyue: "That’s too much of a coincidence. We share a boyfriend."
...The mental image was too beautiful to behold; he didn’t dare to look. So, how should I respond? Li Yuan began to panic.
He wasn’t actually worried about Bai Weixi. Their relationship had already progressed to this point; they had taken the final step. Even if she chose to leave him, he would only feel a little regret, not true heartbreak. But Zhong Tingyue was different. That aloof, perfect goddess held a fatal attraction for him. After her solo dance under the moonlight and their kiss that night, he had completely fallen for her... Now, their relationship had progressed beyond that of ordinary friends. While they might not be an official couple just yet, there wasn’t much distance left to cross. After all, an ordinary friend wouldn’t kiss you, let alone willingly wear black stockings for you...
Li Yuan thought hard, but he genuinely didn’t know how to reply.
If the battleground really did erupt, could he bring himself to give up on Zhong Tingyue? If that happened, he would be truly unwilling to accept it. Yet he couldn’t think of a good solution. Unless... unless he could prove his value. A value so great that even if the battleground erupted, Zhong Tingyue wouldn’t immediately choose to leave him. That was the only way he might have a chance of staying with her. Does this mean I have to accelerate the "Little Moon Conquest Plan"?
At this thought, Li Yuan grew frustrated and cursed himself inwardly. I was supposed to go for lust, not love! I was going to be a playboy for life! Why am I catching feelings again, unable to let this one go and unwilling to leave that one? Li Yuan, you were a total simp in your past life, and it seems your nature hasn’t changed. You’re still just as devoted, except now you’re devoted to more than one person.
As Li Yuan was pondering, Bai Weixi’s voice came from the bedroom, "Honey, are you done washing up?"
Li Yuan called back, "Almost, just a second."
"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you," her voice cooed.
Li Yuan felt troubled. This business of juggling multiple women is truly difficult to handle, especially since I’m not just in it for the physical aspect. Once my emotions get involved, I have a feeling I’ll be in way too deep.
He finally sent a reply. "Little Moon, things at my company might be pretty busy for the next few days. When I get some free time, I’ll arrange to treat all of you to a meal."
In the end, he decided to reveal a bit about his situation to Zhong Tingyue to demonstrate his value. Otherwise, if the battleground erupted unexpectedly, he might really lose her and miss his chance with this perfect, ideal goddess.
