Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 294 - 142 New Discovery in the Girls’ Dormitory: All Their Boyfriends are Named Li Yuan?_2
"They’re all online writers. Maybe Tingyue’s boyfriend and Weixi’s boyfriend even know each other."
Ding Shanshan genuinely had no idea Bai Weixi’s boyfriend was also an online writer.
Curious, she asked, "Weixi’s boyfriend writes novels too? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?"
Wang Lisha pursed her lips and chuckled. "That’s not even the biggest coincidence. What’s even wilder is that Weixi’s boyfriend also seems to be named Li Yuan. Maybe it’s the same pronunciation with different characters, and he’s also a freshman at Xia University this year."
"If it weren’t for the fact that Weixi and Tingyue didn’t know each other before, and that both their boyfriends are their childhood sweethearts, I’d almost think they were dating the same person."
Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou exchanged a look, both utterly shocked and bewildered. Could such a coincidence really exist in the world? They found it hard to believe. A huge suspicion took root in their minds, and this had the potential to be a shocking piece of gossip. If Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi’s boyfriends really were the same person...
An explosive blockbuster movie trailer suddenly flashed through their minds.
Ding Shanshan laughed. "Let’s just ask Weixi when she gets back. We shouldn’t make wild guesses here."
"I have no idea where that girl has run off to. We haven’t heard from her all day."
Wang Lisha giggled. "She’s probably off being lovey-dovey with her boyfriend."
...
Li Yuan held Zhong Tingyue’s hand and simply walked away under everyone’s watchful eyes.
As for the simp, Fang Zheng, who was left utterly dumbfounded, Li Yuan merely glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. His lip twitched slightly as he thought he saw a reflection of his past self.
No, we were both simps, but my own experience last life was still a bit better than his.
Zhong Tingyue’s heart pounded as Li Yuan held her hand. She had no idea why she had just kissed him right in front of so many people.
Perhaps, subconsciously, it was to stake my claim and declare to all other suitors that I was already taken. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Senior, where are you planning to take me?"
On his way over, Li Yuan had already prepared what to say. With a girl like Zhong Tingyue, he needed to take the lead and be a little more assertive.
"I’m thinking of taking you home," Li Yuan asked tentatively, "would you be willing?"
Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan, a blush coloring her cheeks, and asked softly, "Senior, are you taking me back to Sucheng?"
Li Yuan shook his head, smiling as he asked, "Little Moon, are you homesick?"
Zhong Tingyue nodded, a look of longing in her eyes. "I’ve been in Modu for a month now. My mom called this morning asking why I hadn’t come home..."
After she spoke, she couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Li Yuan’s profile.
If she hadn’t met him, she probably would have obediently gone home for the National Day holiday, kept her distance from all the boys at university, and waited for fate to take its course. It was he who had forced his way into her heart and brought her hope. That was why she was willing to wait for him, all alone in her dorm. Fortunately, he hadn’t let her down completely. He was late, but he came in the end.
Li Yuan’s heart stirred, and he tightened his grip on Zhong Tingyue’s hand. He now understood why she had been so angry today. Sucheng was very close to Modu, and since it was the first National Day holiday, she had likely planned to go back. But she must have given up on going home just to wait for him, spending the entire day alone in her dorm.
If Bai Weixi hadn’t fallen asleep from exhaustion, he wouldn’t have checked his phone. In that case, Zhong Tingyue might have waited all day without him ever showing up. He could only imagine how disappointed she would have been.
"Little Moon, do you want to go home? Sucheng is very close to Modu; it’s only an hour or two by car."
Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan and nodded lightly. It was her first time away from home, studying in the unfamiliar city of Modu. How could she not be homesick?
Li Yuan smiled. "Once this busy period is over, I’ll go back to Sucheng with you."
"What about now?" Zhong Tingyue countered. After all, Li Yuan had just said he was taking her home.
Li Yuan chuckled. "Of course, we’re going to my place. Do you dare?"
Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks flushed as she glared at him.
It’s the middle of the night, and my boyfriend is inviting me to his place. Could he possibly have good intentions? I’d be eaten alive.
With a playful pout, Zhong Tingyue said, "Senior, you’re definitely up to no good. I’m not going."
"You’re accusing me unjustly again," Li Yuan laughed, knowing he couldn’t rush things. "Let’s just take a walk around campus. We can enjoy the breeze."
Zhong Tingyue smiled. "The weather isn’t great today; it’s so gloomy. You still want to go to the sports field?"
Li Yuan’s eyes lit up. The sports field was a great idea; his two dates with her there had left a deep impression.
The solo dance under the moonlight, those long legs in black stockings, her a cappella rendition of "Nanshan South"...
Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered Little Fish teaching him guitar yesterday. He could already play and sing simple songs.
"Little Moon, can you play the guitar?"
Zhong Tingyue looked at him and nodded. "I can play a bit of various instruments, just not very proficiently."
"What? Senior, do you want to hear me play?"
Li Yuan countered, "Why can’t it be me playing for you?"
Zhong Tingyue blinked her beautiful eyes. "Senior, you can play the guitar too?"
"I’m learning." Li Yuan thought of that simp playing the guitar to confess to Zhong Tingyue earlier. He figured it would be good to have another skill. What if the battleground erupted one day and both Zhong Tingyue and Jiang Zhiyu left him? At that point, he could stand beneath the girls’ dormitory and play a version of "Anhe Bridge" so depressing that even a dog would have to shake its head and go for a smoke—a perfect dirge to commemorate his lost youth...
