Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 289 - 141 Little Moon: So Angry, The Kind That Can’t Be Pacified

After testing the shock absorption performance of both the BMW Z4 and the BMW X6 with Bai Weixi, Li Yuan reached a conclusion. When it came to shock absorption, you had to go with a sedan or an SUV. They were so much better than a sports car.

The X6’s interior was spacious enough, which naturally made it very convenient for trying all sorts of poses—truly a car worthy of its million-yuan price tag...

Back at his home in Emerald Mansion, Li Yuan had just finished another round of "poker" with Bai Weixi, completely draining the last drop of protein from his body...

He looked at the soundly sleeping Bai Weixi, then stepped out onto the balcony. Gazing at the messages on his phone, an involuntary, wry smile played at the corner of his mouth.

What a mixture of happiness and trouble. Every girl by his side was a supreme beauty, scoring above 95. Any one of them was the kind of girl other men would fight to the death for. Trying to juggle four at the same time, to embrace them all, and to have the best of every world, was indeed a bit challenging. His current situation was forcing him to become a master of time management.

Even the seven-day National Day holiday had to be meticulously planned. Today was October 1st. He had spent the day with Bai Weixi, bought two cars, and played "poker" three times. For now, he had placated the first one.

Li Yuan looked at a message from Xia Zhijin. She had been with Li Zixia all day and didn’t seem lonely. They appeared to get along very well and truly enjoyed each other’s company, having spent half the day shopping, which greatly eased his worries.

Li Yuan glanced at his bank card spending alerts. Aside from 800 yuan spent at the supermarket, there were a few other transactions in various stores that, combined, didn’t even total 3,000 yuan.

He had truly overestimated Xia Zhijin and Li Zixia’s spending habits. Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. Both girls were accustomed to hardship and had long since developed the good habit of frugality. Even if they had the means to spend lavishly, they wouldn’t know how...

Apart from his concern that the unreliable Li Zixia might spill his embarrassing high school stories to Xia Zhijin, everything else seemed fine. Even if she did spill the beans, it wouldn’t really matter. Xia Zhijin was very sweet, sensible, obedient, and pure at heart.

Li Yuan had promised her they would go to Shancheng together on the 3rd, and for the past couple of days, she hadn’t been clingy. He had just replied to her message.

"Zhijin, I still have some things to take care of, so I need to go back to the dorm. I won’t be coming home tonight. You and Zixia should get some rest."

Before long, Xia Zhijin replied, "Okay, got it. You should rest early too. Good night."

Li Yuan continued checking his messages. Jiang Zhiyu had already arrived in Beijing. He had managed to sneak in a few secret chats with her in the afternoon and evening. Little Fish seemed to have gotten busy after arriving in Beijing. Aside from occasionally expressing how much she missed him in their chats, she surprisingly hadn’t initiated a QQ video call...

As he scrolled, Li Yuan sensed something was amiss. Zhong Tingyue hadn’t messaged him for most of the day.

This wasn’t her style.

Li Yuan took the initiative and sent a text: "Little Moon, are you in bed yet?"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he still received no reply. A knot of foreboding tightened in Li Yuan’s chest.

Could it be that Little Moon is actually angry? He couldn’t help but recall the message Little Moon had sent him the day before, where she seemed to be blaming him for not spending time with her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After some thought, Li Yuan finally called Zhong Tingyue’s phone. The phone rang for nearly thirty seconds before it was picked up.

Feigning a carefree tone, Li Yuan asked, "Little Moon, what are you up to?"

Zhong Tingyue’s voice on the other end didn’t sound very happy. "I’m out on a date with a handsome guy. Senior, did you need something?"

Hearing her tone, Li Yuan knew for a fact that Zhong Tingyue was angry. He was immediately struck with guilt.

Just the day before yesterday, he and Zhong Tingyue had become intimate and confirmed their relationship. He hadn’t seen her or talked to her much since then. For a proud young woman like her, it would be strange if she weren’t upset. "Hot and cold" didn’t even begin to describe it. If he were in her shoes, he’d suspect the other person had lost interest after getting what they wanted. Wait, I haven’t even completely succeeded yet.

Li Yuan feigned a smile and joked, "Little Moon, which handsome guy are you seeing?"

Zhong Tingyue snorted coquettishly. "Someone is confessing to me downstairs. I’m considering whether or not to go down. Senior, why don’t you give me some advice? He’s been waiting for over half an hour, you know."

Little Moon is getting a confession? Li Yuan’s mind went blank. His heart began to pound, quickly followed by a surge of anger, as if someone was trying to poach his girl.

He had thought Zhong Tingyue was just joking. "Little Moon, are you serious?"

Zhong Tingyue huffed. "Of course I’m serious. Or what, Senior, do you think no one should be pursuing me? That I’m not pretty enough to have suitors?"

Li Yuan chuckled awkwardly. "Of course not. It’s just a bit sudden."

If a perfect goddess like Zhong Tingyue had no suitors, that would be the strange thing. She wasn’t like Xia Zhijin. Due to her personality and family background, Xia Zhijin didn’t dress up and always walked with her head down. Even so, it was only because he made his move early; if he had delayed by even a few days, other students would have surely discovered Xia Zhijin’s stunning beauty.

There was a playful lilt in Zhong Tingyue’s voice. "Senior, you still haven’t answered me. Should I go down? He has already been waiting for over half an hour."

Li Yuan countered, "Little Moon, are you mad at me?"

"Hmph, I’m just a humble girl. How would I dare get angry with the great Big Writer Li? I wouldn’t presume to waste your time. I’m just bored alone in my dorm, with nothing better to do than let my mind wander."

Zhong Tingyue was definitely angry. Her words were laced with an underlying accusation that he wasn’t spending time with her. Li Yuan’s heart clenched, and he quickly apologized. "Little Moon, I’ve really been a bit busy these last two days. I’ll head back to school right away. Just wait for me, okay?"
