Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 47 - 46: Brothers, I’m Going to Meet a Rich Young Lady
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded overjoyed that Li Yuan had recognized her. "Yes, that’s me, Xia Hua! I’ve come to your school."
Li Yuan was truly stunned. How did she find me? This is incredible.
When chatting online, Li Yuan had only mentioned being a student at a 985 university in Modu. He hadn’t disclosed anything else. She couldn’t have found anything on his QQ space either. After his rebirth, he had deleted every single thing, leaving it completely empty. The only remaining photos of him with Bai Weixi were set to private, visible only to himself...
Luckily, the voice on the phone sounds like a young girl. If it had been some overweight crone or an uncouth brute, this wouldn’t be a surprise, it’d be a scare.
Even so, Li Yuan felt a prickling sense of dread, as if he were on pins and needles.
Are fans these days all this daring? Did she really just doxx me? So scary... His heart pounded in his chest.
Although he often chatted with her online, Li Yuan had never believed a female fan of *Battle Starry Sky* could be a pretty girl, so he had steadfastly refused to do any video calls.
Li Yuan composed himself and asked cautiously, "Cilantro, how did you find me? And my phone number?"
"It was simple," she replied. "I got your phone number directly from Yuandian Web, then just cross-referenced the enrollment lists of the four 985 universities in Modu and found you."
"Am I right, Classmate Li Yuan?"
A cold shiver ran down Li Yuan’s back. "Cilantro, you doing this is really scaring me! I don’t know the first thing about you, yet it feels like I have no secrets from you."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, the other end of the line suddenly went silent. A long moment passed before a soft, fragile female voice came through.
"Xia Hua, I’m so sorry. I really didn’t mean to. I just wanted to find you to give you a surprise in person.
"Please don’t be mad, okay? I won’t do it again.
"Besides, I’m a university student too, studying in Modu just like you. I can tell you anything you want to know about me.
"I’m 1.68 meters tall, I weigh 49kg, and my measurements are 85..."
This was getting more and more ridiculous. Li Yuan quickly cut her off. "Stop, stop, stop! Don’t say any more. I forgive you."
Li Yuan realized his reaction might have been a bit extreme. After all, she was his die-hard fan, his group admin, and his operations officer. She had even rewarded him with two Gold Mengs, making her the number one "little rich girl" of his book, *Battle Starry Sky*.
What bad intentions could she possibly have? She just wants to meet the author. Besides, we’ve been chatting online for over a month, so we’re not exactly strangers. In a way, you could even say we’re in an online relationship.
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly had another realization. This little rich girl’s connections are quite extensive. No, that’s an understatement. They’re absurdly extensive.
She could not only get his identity and phone number from Yuandian Web but also contact four different 985 universities in Modu to check his student records. This was no ordinary background. Having spent many years working in government agencies in his previous life, Li Yuan knew that anyone capable of this was not to be underestimated.
This piqued his curiosity about the little rich girl’s background. Anyone with this kind of power has to be a big shot. Someone I can’t afford to provoke!
No matter what, he had to meet her today. If for no other reason than the fact that she was his die-hard fan and online friend.
Li Yuan said, "Cilantro, I’m not blaming you. It’s just that next time something like this comes up, you could let me know beforehand, or just ask me on QQ. There’s no need to go to such great lengths; it’s a lot of trouble."
Hearing that Li Yuan wasn’t angry anymore, the voice on the phone shifted from sorrow to delight, her cheerful tone returning.
"I just wanted to surprise you, Xia Hua."
"As for finding your information, it wasn’t any trouble. I just made one phone call and got everything I needed."
Li Yuan was speechless. My goodness, do you have any idea the weight a single phone call of yours carries? It’s enough to make a regular guy like me tremble in fear!
In both his past and present lives combined, Li Yuan had never met anyone with such powerful connections, even if she was his fan.
Well, since she’s here, I might as well see it through. It wasn’t like he was truly afraid. He had a clear conscience, so he had nothing to fear.
Worst-case scenario, this little rich girl locks me in her basement and forces me to write overtime. I still have a 600,000-word backlog of Chapters, so I’m not scared. That’s enough to keep her busy reading for a long, long time.
Li Yuan asked, "Cilantro, where are you right now?"
"I’m at your west gate! Xia Hua, are you willing to come and meet me?"
Li Yuan chuckled. "Since you’ve already come all this way, wouldn’t it be cruel of me not to? Just wait a bit, I need to talk to my friends."
"No worries, Xia Hua. I’ll be waiting for you!"
"Okay, I’m hanging up now!"
After ending the call, Li Yuan saw Yi Jing and Liu Jia still waiting for him and felt a little sheepish. They had already agreed to take a walk around campus to digest after their meal. Now, he had to break his promise.
Seeing Li Yuan walk over, Liu Jia asked with a grin, "Li Yuan, who were you on the phone with? Sounded like a girl. Don’t tell me it’s your girlfriend."
Li Yuan shook his head. "Guys, something came up tonight. I can’t join you for a walk around campus."
Liu Jia’s eyes widened in shock. "Whoa, no way, did I actually guess right? Just how many girlfriends do you have? You were getting cozy with that angelic junior today, and now you have another one from off-campus? Adoptive Father, please teach us your ways! I’m on my knees, ready to learn."
"Get lost, you idiot!" Li Yuan laughed and explained, "It’s not that. I’m going to meet a friend."
Zhou Tianyu raised an eyebrow and interjected, "Male or female?"
Li Yuan glanced at him. This narcissist is probably going to be disappointed again.
"Obviously, it’s a girl," he said. "And not just any girl. She’s a good-looking little rich girl with a baby face and a cute, high-pitched voice. My teeth are weak, so I’m off to live off a rich woman. Eat your hearts out."
Zhou Tianyu pursed his lips. "Yeah, right. Keep dreaming!"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and decided it was best to go back to the dorm first to freshen up and make a good impression on the little rich girl.
After Li Yuan left, Liu Jia and Zhou Tianyu looked at each other, finding the situation unbelievable.
Liu Jia chuckled. "Tianyu, I think our boy Li Yuan is pretty amazing. He’s got girlfriends coming right to campus to find him. Feeling the pressure?"
Zhou Tianyu’s eyebrows twitched, and he scoffed dismissively. "Hmph, what pressure would I feel? I’m never short of girlfriends."
"But I bet you’ve never dated someone as divinely beautiful as Zhong Tingyue. During dinner, I saw you. You were completely mesmerized, your eyes were glued to her."
"Not at all, Liu Jia. Don’t make false accusations. It was just a pure appreciation for beauty."
Liu Jia laughed, then looked at Zhou Tianyu and Yi Jing as a bold idea formed in his mind.
"What do you guys say we sneakily follow Li Yuan and see who he’s meeting?"
Zhou Tianyu’s eyes lit up, and he shot a look at Liu Jia. This lanky guy isn’t as simple as he looks. How did he even come up with such a rotten idea?
"I think that could work," Zhou Tianyu said. "Li Yuan even made a special trip back to the dorm. He must be getting himself all cleaned up." Thinking of Zhong Tingyue’s divine beauty and considering how seriously Li Yuan was taking this, Zhou Tianyu figured the person Li Yuan was going to meet had to be extraordinary—perhaps another great beauty!
He let out a strange, mischievous smile as he looked at Liu Jia and Yi Jing. "Hehe, then let’s go follow him on the sly and take a look."
"Then it’s settled."
* * *
Li Yuan returned to his dorm, quickly washed his face, fixed his hair, threw on a jacket, and hurried out the door, his heart filled with a strange sense of anticipation.
On the phone, her voice sounded like a young girl’s, but there was no telling what she would be like in person.
What if she’s faking that cute voice?
