Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 237 - 128: Selling Game Rights, Negotiating with Little Moon (Combined - , Please Subscribe)_3
Xu Tingrou spoke with a cheerful laugh. "Our dorm has two campus beauties, and it’s been less than a month since school started, yet they both have boyfriends now. If all their suitors knew, their hearts would be shattered. When will it be our turn to find someone?"
Zhong Tingyue gave her a sidelong glance and smiled faintly. "Tingrou, isn’t there a guy in our class pursuing you? All you have to do is nod, and you’ll have your own sweet romance, won’t you?"
Xu Tingrou giggled and shook her head, looking at the radiant and beautiful Zhong Tingyue with pure envy in her heart.
She and Ding Shanshan had both met Li Yuan. They knew he was the Great Writer who earned millions a month—wealthy, handsome, and with a great physique. He was also Tingyue’s childhood sweetheart. A relationship like that was a rare find, truly enviable.
"Oh, Tingyue, this is all your fault. After meeting your boyfriend, our standards have gone way up."
Ding Shanshan nodded in heartfelt agreement. "Tingrou’s right. Tingyue’s boyfriend is just too outstanding. I can’t help but compare the other guys in our class to him, and he outclasses them in every way. It just kills any interest I have in dating."
"He and you, Tingyue, are the perfect picture of childhood sweethearts—a talented man and a beautiful woman. Your story is so sweet, I’m hooked."
Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks flushed red from her friends’ compliments, and she huffed coyly, "He’s not as amazing as you make him sound."
Ding Shanshan looked at Zhong Tingyue and covered her mouth to stifle a giggle. "And you still say he isn’t your boyfriend? Tingyue, you’re blushing!"
Zhong Tingyue twirled a strand of hair and picked up her bag. Her beautiful eyes, seeming to speak for themselves, were filled with a shy yet expectant look.
"I’m not talking to you guys anymore. He’s still waiting for me. Bye-bye."
After Zhong Tingyue left, Bai Weixi checked the reply on her phone, her heart sinking with disappointment. She had wanted to have lunch with Li Yuan, but he said he was busy with work at the company and told her to eat with her roommates.
That damn Li Yuan! Other girls’ boyfriends can’t wait to be with them every single day, but I can barely ever find you. You’re always going off the grid. I really don’t want to deal with you anymore!
「At the school’s north gate.」
Li Yuan was sitting in his car. The moment the stunning figure appeared in his line of sight, his spirits lifted. He quickly got out, a smile on his face as he waited for Zhong Tingyue.
His gaze wasn’t the only one she captured. The students passing by, both male and female, also found their eyes drawn to her.
She was like a walking spotlight, stealing the attention of everyone around her. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Li Yuan felt a secret thrill as he overheard the gasps and murmurs from the crowd.
"Guys, look ahead! A stunningly beautiful girl is walking this way. Oh my god, she’s gorgeous. My heart’s skipping a beat. I want to go talk to her, but I’m afraid she’ll reject me."
"Damn, Xia University really is full of beauties. I ran into a super sweet and innocent-looking goddess at the Computer Science Department the other day. I wanted to ask for her contact info, but she just looked down and ran off."
"They say Xia University is full of beauties, but how come none of them are for me? Heaven is so unfair! Damn it all, just grant me a beautiful girlfriend already! I want to experience the pain of love just once."
"Whoa, that beauty is walking toward us! My heart is pounding... She’s smiling at me! Oh no, my heart is melting."
"Stop daydreaming! She’s not smiling at you. Her boyfriend is waiting right behind us."
"Holy crap, her boyfriend’s not bad either. Look at him in that tailored suit; he looks like a total playboy. Damn, and he’s driving a luxury car with the four rings. He must be some rich heir."
"Figures. No matter the girl, they’re all so superficial. They only care about looks, not what’s inside. They all just like guys who are tall, rich, and handsome. People like us should just give up on our fantasies and find an ordinary girlfriend."
"Oh no, after seeing that perfect goddess, I’ve lost all interest in other women. Jun, I need you to find all the information on this girl."
"Heh, wipe that stupid look off your face. She’s already taken. Tall, rich, and handsome—you think you can compete?"
"Jun, you don’t get it. As long as you wield your hoe well, there’s no wall you can’t undermine. So what if he’s tall, rich, and handsome? He could be all show and no go... Just watch me. I’m going to find out everything about this girl."
Li Yuan glanced at the murmuring group of guys, his expression unchanging.
He had been through this before. A few days ago at Ji University, he had encountered similar comments from students when he was walking with Little Fish.
In contrast, he attracted much less attention when walking with a simple and unassuming girl like Xia Zhijin. She was shy and liked to walk with her head down, completely lacking Zhong Tingyue’s vibrant self-assurance.
Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue and extended his hand with a smile. "Little Moon, long time no see. I’ve missed you terribly."
Zhong Tingyue glared at him and huffed, "Hmph, it’s only been three days."
With that, she stepped forward and lightly swatted his wandering hand away. That same hand had been taking liberties on her thigh just the night before last.
Li Yuan laughed it off. "A day apart feels like three autumns, Little Moon. By that count, we haven’t seen each other in three years. I’ve missed you to death."
His gaze lingered on her for a moment. Zhong Tingyue seemed to be wearing light makeup today, looking exceptionally radiant and making his heart skip a beat.
Zhong Tingyue rolled her pretty eyes at Li Yuan, bit her lip, and huffed with a hint of sourness, "You’re getting better and better at lying, Senior. I didn’t feel like you missed me at all. You never even text me first."
