Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 210 - 120 Bai Weixi’s Confession, Xia Zhijin’s Discovery_3
"If that were the case, our paths never would have crossed..." As Li Yuan spoke, his emotions surfaced, revealing the reality of his past. Among his peers, he was already considered diligent and fortunate, but even so, his starting point paled in comparison to others.
My family’s three generations of effort versus your ten years of toiling away at your studies... By what right did you think you could catch up?
Suddenly, Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan and asked softly, "Husband, do you have a sister?"
"Yes, my sister’s name is Li Zixia. She’s three years younger than me."
There was no point in hiding this, so Li Yuan nodded readily. Come to think of it, his sister Li Zixia actually knew who Bai Weixi was.
Bai Weixi’s eyes lit up, and she asked with a grin, "Then Zixia must be in her first year of high school, right? Which school does she attend, First High or Sixth High?"
Li Yuan’s words caught in his throat. He had already arranged for Li Zixia to come to Modu for school. However, there was no need to tell Bai Weixi that.
"Yes, she just started her first year of high school. It’s getting late, let’s head to the university now."
Bai Weixi looked at the leftovers on the table and asked, "Husband, should I clean up first?"
"No need," Li Yuan said lightly. "Just leave it. Come back and clean it tonight."
Bai Weixi’s pretty face flushed red, and she glared at him. "Hmph, you big jerk. I’m not coming over tonight. I’m going back to my dorm."
An embarrassed expression crossed Li Yuan’s face. Being with Bai Weixi, his first love from a past life, was truly an intoxicating experience—one he was quickly getting addicted to. He’d almost forgotten that they were both university students and were supposed to be living in the dorms.
Li Yuan looked at the shy Bai Weixi and smiled. "Then come over on the weekend."
Bai Weixi huffed softly. "Hmph, whether I come or not will depend on your performance."
Li Yuan smirked. "Wasn’t my performance last night good enough?"
Bai Weixi was instantly mortified. "Stinky Li Yuan, I’m not talking to you anymore."
Li Yuan chuckled. "Then get yourself ready to go."
On the way to the university, Bai Weixi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Husband, do your parents know you bought a house in Modu?"
Li Yuan nodded. "They know. Why?"
Bai Weixi glanced at him and hesitated, as if debating whether she should say anything.
"What is it? Just say what’s on your mind."
Bai Weixi thought for a moment, then looked at Li Yuan seriously. Her voice paused before she spoke slowly, "Husband, I’ve actually met your parents once."
Li Yuan jolted, nearly slamming on the brakes. He looked at Bai Weixi in disbelief, his brow furrowed as his heart suddenly began to race. Staring at her with a stern gaze, he feigned composure and asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Weixi was also startled by his reaction. She trembled slightly. It was the first time she had ever seen him like this—like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
She whispered, "Husband, I saw your parents once before."
Li Yuan regained his calm. "When?"
Bai Weixi thought for a moment before replying in a small voice, "On the first day of the college entrance exams. I saw your parents sending you off to the testing site."
A tremor went through Li Yuan’s body, but he just looked at Bai Weixi calmly without saying a word. The atmosphere in the car grew heavy and oppressive. Bai Weixi stared at Li Yuan nervously, unable to understand what she had said wrong. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Husband, are you... upset?"
Li Yuan shook his head silently.
"You’re scaring me when you’re like this."
Li Yuan glanced at her. Words reached his lips, but he swallowed them back down.
"It’s nothing. I just recalled some things... and figured some others out."
Bai Weixi asked softly, "Husband, will you tell your parents about us?"
Li Yuan looked at her curiously. "Why do you ask?"
A smile appeared on Bai Weixi’s face. "Because I’m your girlfriend."
Li Yuan was speechless. Is she in such a hurry to meet the family? Unbelievable.
"It’s too early. Let’s wait a while before we talk about it."
Bai Weixi pursed her lips to hide a giggle. "Okay. So, if my parents ask, I can just tell them I have a boyfriend?"
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow. What does she mean by that? This is a bit strange.
"That’s up to you, but I suggest you wait. Your parents might not be happy to learn you got a boyfriend the moment you started university."
Bai Weixi giggled, pressing her lips together. "That’s true. Mom and Dad would definitely be heartbroken. They raised their precious, innocent daughter with such care, only for her to be snatched away by some big pervert."
Li Yuan smiled wryly.
The engine hummed as they sped along, and they quickly reached the university. Emerald Mansion was about ten kilometers from Daxia University, and with no traffic, the trip took just over ten minutes. It was quite close.
As they walked across campus, Bai Weixi took the initiative to link her arm with Li Yuan’s, making his heart skip a beat with anxiety. It was around 7:45 in the morning, the peak time for students heading to class.
He was too embarrassed to pull his arm away and create distance. That would be a dead giveaway.
Li Yuan lowered his head, trying his best not to be recognized. Bai Weixi, on the other hand, held his arm confidently, completely unconcerned by the gazes of passersby.
Suddenly, she said, "By the way, Husband, let me see your phone."
Li Yuan’s heart leaped into his throat. He frowned and asked, "What do you need my phone for?"
Bai Weixi huffed. "It’s for something important, of course! Just give it to me!"
Li Yuan’s brow furrowed even deeper. Did she check my phone this morning while I was asleep? Does she already know? But that doesn’t seem right. If she really knew, how could she have made me a loving breakfast? Damn... she didn’t poison it, did she?
