Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 211 - 120 Bai Weixi’s Confession, Xia Zhijin’s Discovery_4

No, that’s not right. He doesn’t feel any physical discomfort. Besides, poison isn’t easy to buy. Where would a girl even find poison this early in the morning? If she really wanted revenge, it’d be much easier to just grab a kitchen knife and finish him off... A jumble of thoughts flooded Li Yuan’s mind.

Seeing the indecisive and suspicious look in Li Yuan’s eyes, Bai Weixi asked, "Honey, does your phone happen to contain some unspeakable secrets?"

Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, but he feigned composure. He furrowed his brow and said with displeasure, "Bai, is there no basic trust between us? Is that the kind of person you think I am? You’ve really disappointed me."

Li Yuan spoke with a heavy tone, having already prepared for the worst. He would not, under any circumstances, hand over his phone.

If she dares to ask for my phone today, who knows what she’ll dare to do tomorrow.

The most important point was that he hadn’t deleted a single chat message from his phone—not from Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, Jiang Zhiyu, or even Bai Weixi herself. If Bai Weixi got her hands on his phone, she would only need to glance through it for everything to become clear. That would be the moment the battleground erupted completely...

Seeing Li Yuan’s stern tone and gloomy, unhappy expression, Bai Weixi was startled. She hugged his arm and looked at him with a wronged expression. "Honey, no, I wasn’t doubting you! I was just kidding."

Li Yuan responded emotionlessly, "That joke wasn’t funny at all."

Bai Weixi looked like she was about to cry from the injustice. "Honey, why are you reacting so strongly? I just wanted to add you on QQ so it’s easier to chat. Please don’t be mad."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. So that’s what she meant? Thank goodness she doesn’t already know.

But Murphy’s Law always struck when least expected. He’d guessed it wouldn’t take long for Bai Weixi to think of adding him on QQ. He just hadn’t expected it to happen so soon—it had only been ten minutes or so since they’d left Emerald Mansion.

Li Yuan said coldly, "Bai, you still shouldn’t have doubted me."

Bai Weixi blinked her beautiful eyes at Li Yuan and shook his arm coquettishly. "Honey, I was wrong, okay? I didn’t doubt you, I was just joking."

Li Yuan frowned. "Don’t let there be a next time."

Bai Weixi nodded hastily. "Okay, okay, I get it! I promise it won’t happen again."

Li Yuan pretended to be puzzled, asking, "What’s the big deal about adding me on QQ? Isn’t texting the same thing?"

Bai Weixi rolled her eyes at him and said with a sweet smile, "We can only send messages by text, not video chat. If I miss you at night, I can call you for a video chat..."

"Hmph, you jerk, you were the one who deleted and blocked me last time. Now I’m taking the initiative to add you, and you’re still giving me the runaround."

Hearing this, Li Yuan was reminded of how hurt he had been after reading Bai Weixi’s ’little essay’ the other night.

Li Yuan glanced at the time—only ten minutes left until class. "Shoot, class is about to start, and I’m going to be late! The professor is taking attendance today. I’ll add you after class. I’ve gotta go."

Without waiting for her to react, he turned and ran toward his classroom.

Bai Weixi stared blankly after him for a moment, then stamped her foot in frustration. She turned and quickly walked off in the other direction, as she had a class to get to as well.

...

By the time Li Yuan reached the classroom, it was nearly full. He glanced around, looking for Liu Jia, and spotted an empty seat next to him. He went over and sat right down.

Liu Jia handed Li Yuan the textbook he’d asked him to bring last night, snickering. "Yuan, here’s your book. Where’d you go last night? Why are you only just getting here? Roll call is in a few minutes.

"Heh heh, were you out doing something sneaky again? You’ve been staying out all night a lot recently.

"But that’s strange. I saw Xia Zhijin, Shen Xiyu, and Gao Xin together this morning. Wasn’t she with you?"

"Liu Jia, you’re such a gossip," Li Yuan replied irritably. "I think you should take a trip to Thailand; it would suit you better. What do you think I was doing at night? I went home, of course."

"Home?" Liu Jia asked suspiciously. "Yuan, isn’t your family from Northern Anhui? How did you go home?"

Li Yuan was speechless. "Heh, I guess you don’t know that people from out of town can buy property and settle down in Modu, huh?"

Liu Jia’s eyes widened. "Yuan, you already bought a house in Modu?"

Li Yuan put on a nonchalant air. "What, is that so strange? Or do you think I can’t afford it?"

Liu Jia gave an awkward smile. With Li Yuan earning one to two million a month, of course he could afford a house in Modu.

"N-no, not at all. It’s just a shock. Didn’t the semester just start? When did you buy a house in Modu? You have to take us brothers to see your mansion sometime."

"Mansion, my foot. It’s just a regular house," Li Yuan said, glancing at him before turning his gaze forward to scan the crowd for Xia Zhijin.

Liu Jia chuckled. "Heh heh, Yuan, Zhijin’s in the third row, sixth seat over. Looks like she even saved you a seat. You wanna go over?"

Following Liu Jia’s directions, Li Yuan saw Xia Zhijin. She was sitting near the aisle today, with an empty seat right next to her.

As Li Yuan looked over, Xia Zhijin happened to be searching for him as well. Their eyes met for an instant...

His heart stirred. Li Yuan picked up his book and stood, heading straight for her.
