Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 405 - 170 Li Yuan: Am I a lonely widower now?_4

Become a big internet celebrity?

Li Yuan silently arrived at dorm 6608 on the sixth floor. He felt a little nervous as he knocked on the door.

"Coming, who is it?" a voice called from inside. It was probably Gao Xin’s voice, which Li Yuan still recognized.

When the dorm door opened and Gao Xin saw Li Yuan standing there, her expression first turned to shock, then shifted to wary surprise.

"Li Yuan, what brings you here?" Gao Xin took in Li Yuan’s attire and his presence, and her heart suddenly started to race.

Li Yuan calmly asked, "May I come in?"

Gao Xin was startled and quickly replied, "Oh, you want to come in? Of course."

As Li Yuan stepped inside, his gaze immediately fell upon Xia Zhijin, who was sitting dazedly in front of her computer. A sharp pang of pain shot through his heart. Before he could walk over to her, a harsh voice rang in his ears.

"You scumbag, get out! You’re not welcome in our dorm!"

Li Yuan’s eyes grew cold. He followed the voice and saw Shen Xiyu, who was jeering and shouting at him. His impression of Shen Xiyu was extremely poor; he had already subtly warned Xia Zhijin about her a while ago. Xia Zhijin had been very obedient and had rarely been seen with Shen Xiyu since.

Li Yuan glared at Shen Xiyu, too lazy to bother with her. To even say another word to her would be giving her too much credit.

He walked over to Xia Zhijin. Seeing her desolate and helpless appearance, his heart ached. Just as he was about to embrace her, a figure suddenly stepped in front of him, blocking his way.

Shen Xiyu glared at Li Yuan and launched into another tirade.

"You scumbag, what nerve do you have showing your face to Zhijin? Get as far away as you can! Don’t think you can play with people’s feelings as you please just because you have some filthy money!"

"Shut up!" Li Yuan snapped, his gaze fixed icily on Shen Xiyu. "Is my relationship with Zhijin any of your business? Who do you think you are?"

Startled by Li Yuan’s oppressive gaze, Shen Xiyu took two steps back, her body trembling slightly. It was the first time she had ever seen him so furious.

But a moment later, anger surged through her. This was a women’s dormitory, *her* dorm. What right did Li Yuan, an outsider, have to yell at her like that?

At this thought, Shen Xiyu’s anger boiled over. She stepped forward, puffed out her chest, glared at Li Yuan, and shouted, "Li Yuan, what kind of man are you?"

"What, you’ve got the guts to be a scumbag but not to own up to it? Who are you trying to impress, acting so high and mighty in our dorm?"

Seeing Li Yuan and Shen Xiyu arguing, their roommates Ge Chenchen, Li Lanrong, and Gao Xin quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Xiyu, that’s enough. Li Yuan is here to see Zhijin, not you. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Li Yuan, you too. Watch your attitude. This is a women’s dorm."

"Xiyu, let Li Yuan and Zhijin talk. Zhijin is an adult; she can think for herself."

The other girls all chimed in to de-escalate the situation. They couldn’t understand why Shen Xiyu was having such a massive reaction. They were also Xia Zhijin’s roommates, but they didn’t say anything so harsh to Li Yuan. First, there was no need. Second, they had no right. What did a couple’s emotional conflict have to do with them? For all they knew, they might get back together. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan ignored Shen Xiyu and walked over to Xia Zhijin. He reached out and took her hand. She struggled gently, but he held on firmly. True to her nature, she soon stopped struggling, her hand held tightly in his.

Li Yuan did his best to keep his tone even as he looked gently at this precious girl who didn’t even dare to cry out loud.

"Zhijin, come out with me. I have something I want to say to you."

Before Xia Zhijin could speak, Shen Xiyu immediately interjected with a warning, "Zhijin, don’t listen to this scumbag’s nonsense! Remember how he hurt you!"

Startled by Shen Xiyu’s words, Gao Xin quickly clapped a hand over her mouth.

"Xiyu, that’s enough."
