Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 215 - 122: Zhijin, I’ll Take You Home to Meet My Family (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Shen Xiyu and Li Yuan’s sudden quarrel immediately caught the attention of the other classmates. Each one of them was dumbstruck, savoring this juicy piece of gossip.
[Holy shit, what just happened? Why did Li Yuan and Shen Xiyu suddenly start fighting?]
[I think I got some of it. Did Shen Xiyu mock Li Yuan for being a philanderer, then Li Yuan got angry and told her to shut up, and then she hit back with more mockery?]
[What exactly is going on? Shen Xiyu and Li Yuan aren’t even involved with each other, so what right does she have to mock him? I’m so confused.]
[Well, I might know a bit. If any of you have time, just look at Li Yuan’s QQ Space and you’ll understand. There’s a girl there, probably one of his reader fans, who leaves messages for him almost every day. It seems they’ve even met...]
[Whoa, seriously? This is some earth-shattering gossip. I have to check out Li Yuan’s QQ Space, too. Wait, I don’t think I’ve added him on QQ.]
[Actually, I’ve seen the comments in Li Yuan’s Space. I think Shen Xiyu is making a mountain out of a molehill. Li Yuan is now a popular Great Writer of online novels, so isn’t it normal for a few hardcore fans to leave him messages or even develop a crush on him? Besides, that girl who’s been leaving messages knew Li Yuan earlier—they met back in July. In fact, Xia Zhijin is the one he met more recently.]
[I have to admit, though, Li Yuan is an excellent guy from any angle. And while Xia Zhijin is very, very beautiful, it would be abnormal if other girls *weren’t* chasing him. Li Yuan’s mistake was continuing to be ambiguous with that fan after he got together with Xia Zhijin.]
[Heh, men are such scumbags, always eating from their bowl while staring at what’s in the pot. The only time they behave is when they’re six feet under. All the good men in this world must be extinct.]
[Damn, if I were a girl, I’d totally go for Li Yuan. He and Xia Zhijin aren’t married and have only known each other for a short time. Who knows what the future holds? Besides, Shen Xiyu is being way too meddlesome. The person actually involved, Xia Zhijin, hasn’t even said a word.]
Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Zhou Tianyu, Yi Jing, Xu Ziqiang, and others who knew Li Yuan well were also watching the scene, dumbfounded.
Wu Hao asked with a snicker, "Hehe, guys, is Yuan about to crash and burn?"
Liu Jia nodded, sighing. "I think so. You saw how mad Yuan got. He yelled ’Shut up’ so loud the whole class heard. Hehe, I’ve actually been to his QQ Space. There really is a girl who leaves him messages almost every day. And I think you’ve all met her."
Xu Ziqiang added, "Uh, yeah, I’ve dropped by Yuan’s Space before. I was going to leave a comment, but when I saw it was all messages from that one girl, I didn’t dare to. I was afraid I’d break the pattern."
Zhou Tianyu asked curiously, "Who is this girl you’re all talking about?"
Liu Jia gave Zhou Tianyu a mysterious smile. "If I’m not mistaken, the girl who leaves messages on Yuan’s Space every day is that beauty in the hanfu we saw the other day."
Zhou Tianyu’s eyes lit up as he recalled the scene. The woman in the hanfu had indeed been stunningly beautiful, no less so than any other girl he knew, and she had a unique aura. Their relationship that day had seemed quite intimate.
Li Yuan was bound to crash and burn sooner or later. He was too careless, not even noticing something as sensitive as QQ Space comments. As long as Xia Zhijin wasn’t a fool, she would eventually find out...
Liu Jia asked, "What do you guys think? How will Yuan handle this? I think Xia Zhijin is great—she has a very gentle personality, which is quite different from the usual girls from the Chuanyu region."
Wu Hao asked curiously, "That’s right, Liu Jia. You’re from Chuanyu, too, just like Xia Zhijin. How come you didn’t go after her back then?"
Liu Jia smiled awkwardly. "Yuan was too quick on the draw. When Zhijin introduced herself, I didn’t really notice her. She kept her head down and was dressed so plainly. Who knew she was so beautiful? If I had, I would’ve made my move long ago."
Xu Ziqiang patted Liu Jia’s shoulder and said with a wicked grin, "Wow, Liu Jia. I’m going to have to tell Yuan about this. You dared to have designs on his girl."
Liu Jia jolted. "Qiang, don’t you dare screw me over! I was just kidding. If Yuan finds out, he’ll flay me alive."
"Heh, many a truth is spoken in jest," Xu Ziqiang sneered. "Of course, if you were to show a little appreciation, I could forget to tell Yuan. For example, by treating us to lunch."
"Damn you, Qiang, hatching a scheme like that..."
Li Yuan ignored Shen Xiyu. He looked at Xia Zhijin, who was trembling and looked utterly helpless. He gently took her hand and spoke softly.
"Zhijin, come outside with me."
Led by the hand by Li Yuan in front of everyone, Xia Zhijin kept her head down and followed him out of the classroom.
As soon as Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin left, the chatter and discussion in the room grew even louder.
Gao Xin looked at Shen Xiyu’s furious expression and silently shook his head. He offered a kind reminder, "Xiyu, you shouldn’t have gotten involved in this. It might not be a good thing for you, for Zhijin, or for Li Yuan."
Still fuming, Shen Xiyu frowned at Gao Xin’s words and retorted,
