Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 231 - 127: Sexy Instructor Qi Siyu, Li Yuan Gets Teased (Two-in-One, Subscription Request)_2
"My cousin was really good to me," Xia Zhijin said, the sadness on her face fading as she spoke of her. "She’s my second uncle’s daughter. She used to secretly give me snacks, let me wear her old clothes, and help me with my homework..."
"Li Yuan, I miss Grandma and Ningning so much. I want to see them. I wonder if Ningning has lost weight or if Grandma’s leg is any better. Without me there, I wonder if Ningning can even take care of himself..."
Li Yuan’s heart stirred. He thought of the upcoming National Day holiday and, looking at the deep longing in Xia Zhijin’s eyes, he kissed her on the forehead.
"Zhijin, if I don’t have anything particularly important going on during the holiday, I’ll take you back to Shancheng to see Grandma and Ningning. How does that sound?"
Xia Zhijin trembled. She looked at Li Yuan, her eyes filled with an extraordinary surprise, yet also a hint of worry. She asked in a small voice, "Your company and your writing keep you so busy. Won’t this take up too much of your time?"
Li Yuan smiled and ruffled her hair. "Silly girl, of course I’d do this for you. I’m your boyfriend, after all."
Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan earnestly and said softly, "Li Yuan, thank you. It’s so good to have you."
Li Yuan’s hand wandered to one of her proud peaks, and he grinned mischievously. "Then can you thank me in a different way?"
Xia Zhijin shyly lowered her head. "Hmph, you big bad guy. You’re so improper."
Despite her words, she obediently curled up, burrowed her head under the covers, and parted her cherry-red lips...
Li Yuan quickly stopped her. "Zhijin, I was just joking. You’re exhausted today. Get some rest. We’ll go to class together tomorrow."
「」
The next day, as dawn was just breaking, Li Yuan got up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and brought it back for his little sister and god-sister.
Li Zixia, schoolbag on her back, clung reluctantly to Xia Zhijin’s hand while nagging her brother, "Brother, you have to bring Zhijin home often to hang out."
Li Yuan snapped his fingers. "Hurry up and get to school. Zhijin will be coming over often. Right, Zhijin?"
Xia Zhijin nodded shyly.
Li Zixia teased her excitedly, "Hehe, Zhijin, my mom’s coming back in a few days. You have to come over then! I’ll have her give you a big red envelope. In our hometown, it’s tradition to give a girl a red envelope on her first visit."
Xia Zhijin’s face flushed bright red, and her heart began to pound with nervousness again. Meeting Li Yuan’s sister was one thing, but meeting his mother... that would be a completely different feeling. She was truly a little scared.
Li Yuan cleared his throat. "Ahem, Zixia, you’d better get to school."
Li Zixia rolled her eyes at Li Yuan and muttered under her breath, "My foolish, stinky brother, you’d better bring Zhijin home a lot from now on, you hear?"
Li Yuan’s eyes widened. "You’ve got a lot of nerve, talking to your brother like that!"
"Hehe, I’m not afraid of you anymore. If you try to bully me, I’ll just tell Zhijin to sort you out."
「」
At the school gates, Li Yuan took Xia Zhijin’s hand, and they walked openly across campus.
"Zhijin, I might have to go to the company today. We’ve run into some problems with the website and game development, so I might not be free to come back for lunch. You should eat with your roommates, okay?"
"Okay," Xia Zhijin replied obediently. "Are the problems serious? Do you need me to help?"
Li Yuan ruffled her hair and chuckled. "No need. Your job is to study hard. When final exams roll around, I’ll be counting on you to tutor me."
Damn it, I should have just majored in Chinese to avoid all this exam trouble. Li Yuan thought, already regretting his choice of computer science.
No, wait. If I hadn’t chosen computer science, I never would have met my darling Zhijin.
It seems like Zhijin doesn’t like computer science either; she was assigned to this major. I’ll figure out a way to help her transfer in a few days.
Li Yuan went to his classroom, made sure he was marked as present, and then quietly slipped out again. This time, he didn’t head back to the company. Instead, he made his way toward the college’s administration building.
Spotting a maturely dressed girl with black-framed glasses, he approached with a smile.
"Senior, could you please tell me where the Student Entrepreneurship Office is?"
"You’re calling me Senior?" The slightly plump, glasses-wearing girl smiled graciously. She pointed behind her and said, "The Entrepreneurship Office is in Room 608 on the sixth floor. You’ll find it there."
Li Yuan grinned. He seemed to be running into kind people today. "Thanks so much, Senior. Goodbye!"
The girl watched Li Yuan’s retreating back, the corners of her lips turning up in a slight smile. She pulled a compact mirror from her purse and couldn’t help but check her reflection.
Do I really look that young? Hehe, that handsome guy has good taste. But what would he be doing at the Student Entrepreneurship Office?
「」
Li Yuan bounded up the stairs to the sixth floor and found Room 608. A sign on the door read "Student Entrepreneurship Office."
He straightened his clothes and knocked.
"Come in," a vaguely familiar female voice called from inside.
Li Yuan pushed the door open, and his eyes fell on a very familiar woman.
His eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face. "Instructor Qi?"
Hearing Li Yuan’s voice, Qi Siyu looked up with a start. Her expression was one of complete surprise, her eyes wide and her cherry-red lips slightly parted.
"You’re... Li Yuan? The famous author from Computer Science, Class One?"
Li Yuan nodded calmly. "I’m truly honored that you still remember me, Instructor Qi."
Qi Siyu pursed her lips in a soft chuckle. She rose to her feet, her stunning figure swaying as she faced Li Yuan with a teasing smile.
