Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 256 - 132 Little Fish’s Video Check, Li Yuan Through His Roommate’s Eyes_4
Fang Yanni glanced at her roommate, who was gritting her teeth and glaring at Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin with resentment, and kindly offered a word of advice.
"Jierong, since Li Yuan already has a girlfriend, you should stop getting entangled with him."
When Wang Jierong thought of the cruel words Li Yuan had said to her in class that day, a rush of anger surged through her. She snorted coldly, completely incapable of listening to any persuasion.
"Yanni, I refuse to believe there’s a man in this world that I, Wang Jierong, can’t get. So what if he rejected me today? Sooner or later, I will have him, and then I’ll kick him to the curb."
Fang Yanni looked at the somewhat maniacal Wang Jierong and felt utterly speechless. My roommate is getting a little too obsessive. Why go to such lengths for a man? She’s a talented student from a prestigious 985 university, after all. Why degrade herself like this? Li Yuan is excellent, but it’s not as if he’s the last man on earth, and there are certainly others better than him. To say nothing of elsewhere, Daxia University alone has plenty of outstanding men. I simply can’t understand her way of thinking.
Just as she was about to laugh it off, she heard Wang Jierong speak with a mysterious air.
"Yanni, do you think Li Yuan is sincere with Xia Zhijin?"
Fang Yanni was puzzled. Thinking about the rumors floating around the women’s dormitory and how Li Yuan openly showed affection for Xia Zhijin in class, she answered uncertainly, "I guess so. I think Li Yuan treats Xia Zhijin quite well. He bought her the latest phone, a laptop, and even an LV bag..."
Listening to Fang Yanni’s response, Wang Jierong felt extremely envious, and her sense of anticipation grew even stronger.
"Yanni, yesterday, I personally saw Li Yuan with another girl."
The gossip aficionado in Fang Yanni was instantly awakened. Shocked, she hurriedly asked for details.
"Yesterday at noon, I was about to leave campus on an errand when I saw Li Yuan in a black Audi at the north gate, seemingly waiting for someone. At first, I thought he was waiting for Xia Zhijin, but it turned out to be another girl. Li Yuan and that girl seemed very close, and then they got into the car and drove away together.
"I even went out of my way to ask Li Yuan’s roommate if he came back in the afternoon or evening. It was past nine o’clock at night, and Li Yuan still hadn’t returned. What do you guess he and that girl were up to?"
This was a bombshell piece of gossip. Fang Yanni’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Rongrong, are you telling the truth? Is Li Yuan such a playboy, two-timing her? He already has a girlfriend as pure and beautiful as Xia Zhijin, but he’s still not satisfied and continues to fool around? How could he do this to Xia Zhijin? He’s just a scumbag."
Wang Jierong chuckled lightly. "That’s why, Yanni, men are all the same. Once they get money, they go bad. It’s naive to think there are exceptions. In class, Li Yuan pretends to be so loving toward Xia Zhijin, but in reality, he’s eating from his bowl while eyeing the pot. Who knows how much he’s playing around behind her back. Men... heh. They only become honest when they’re dead and hanging on a wall."
Surprisingly, Fang Yanni didn’t disagree. She fell silent for a long time as her views on love began to crumble. In front of all their classmates, Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin were the picture of a handsome and talented couple, blissfully in love, yet this was the story unfolding behind the scenes. The worst part was that the innocent Xia Zhijin was being kept completely in the dark, oblivious to Li Yuan’s scummy behavior.
"Rongrong, are you going to tell Xia Zhijin about this and break them up?"
Wang Jierong shook her head, smiling cheerfully. "Why would I expose him? Is there any benefit in it for me?"
"Then what are you planning to do?" Fang Yanni asked, puzzled. "Blackmail him with this?"
Wang Jierong smiled without a word, her gaze turning toward Li Yuan, filled with an inexplicable meaning...
...
「In the blink of an eye, it was noon on September 30th.」
Some schools had already begun their National Day holiday. The same was true for Daxia University.
"Zhijin, I have some work at the company this afternoon. I’ll drop you off at home first. Zixia said she missed you."
"Mhm, I know. Go on and take care of your business," Xia Zhijin nodded obediently.
After dropping Xia Zhijin off, Li Yuan sent separate messages to Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue.
To Bai Weixi, he wrote, "*Bai, I’m going to the company to deal with some book rights and Writers Association matters. I might be back very late, as there could also be some social engagements this evening. You should just head straight home.*"
To Zhong Tingyue, he wrote, "*Little Moon, the company needs me to handle some follow-up matters regarding a game’s copyright, as well as some work for the National Day offline signing event. I might return very late and can’t be with you today, so don’t be angry, okay...*"
It took great effort to come up with two different excuses for his two girlfriends. Li Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling utterly stretched thin.
Damn it, it’s always like this on special holidays. This is just National Day. When Valentine’s Day comes around, I might just spontaneously combust. National Day isn’t too bad; with a seven-day holiday, I can still squeeze out the time by splitting it up. But when it comes to the Qixi Festival or Valentine’s Day, I really don’t know how to avoid a complete battleground. If a couple doesn’t spend Valentine’s Day together, it’s a sure sign that something is wrong with their relationship.
Li Yuan also felt a small sense of relief. Both Valentine’s Days are still a long way off, which gives me enough time to prepare.
Suddenly, his phone rang again. It was Little Fish’s fourth call of the day.
"Xia Hua, you still haven’t come? I’ve been waiting for you at the school gate for ages."
Li Yuan was moved. Little Fish’s feelings for me are so pure, without any impurities. But the purer they are, the more afraid I become, and the less I dare to get too close.
"I’m on my way now. You don’t have to wait for me; I’ll go directly to your dorm."
"No! I want to see you the moment you arrive, Xia Hua. Hurry up. I’m waiting for you to have lunch with me."
Li Yuan quickly promised, "Then just wait about ten more minutes. I’m already on my way."
"Okay, Xia Hua! Drive safely, and I’ll be waiting!"
Li Yuan hung up with a smile and got into his Lamborghini supercar. The deafening roar of the engine sent his adrenaline soaring.
Truth be told, I really enjoy driving a flashy supercar. I’ve even thought about taking Xia Zhijin, Zhong Tingyue, and Bai Weixi for a spin. Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be appropriate. This car was a gift from Little Fish, not one I bought myself. Once I have enough money, I’m definitely buying a dozen supercars. A Bugatti Veyron, for instance—I have to get a high-end one.
Driving the Lamborghini, Li Yuan slowly passed the speed bumps under the watchful salutes of the residential security guards.
Little Fish has called to hurry me several times now. If I don’t go soon, she’ll get anxious and come looking for me herself. Time to head to Ji University.
...
Ji University and Xia University, both prestigious 985 universities in Modu, differed greatly. The quality and number of female students at Ji University were much lower than at Xia University.
Little Fish stood waiting adorably at the school entrance, holding a bouquet of flowers, which attracted the attention and discussion of passing Ji University students.
"Isn’t that our school’s beauty, Jiang Zhiyu? Is she waiting for someone alone at the school gate?"
"Wow, it really is Jiang Zhiyu. She’s so beautiful! By the way, School Beauty Jiang is performing at the freshmen welcome party this afternoon."
"Really? Suddenly, I’m really looking forward to it. School Beauty Jiang is the president of the music club, so she must be an incredible singer. What’s her performance?"
"I’m not sure; the program is a secret. It’s probably singing. Hehe, I heard some gossip about School Beauty Jiang. Want to hear it?"
"Gossip about School Beauty Jiang? Spill it! I’m dying to know."
"You all probably know that School Beauty Jiang is a super-rich beauty from an astounding background. She’s always chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce. The number of guys at our school trying to woo her is probably in the four digits... A few days ago, I heard she was seen holding hands with a guy from off-campus, publicly confirming their relationship..."
"What the hell? No way. School Beauty Jiang was won over by some guy from outside our university? On what grounds? Are all the guys at Ji University useless?"
"Right? The news has already spread through the school’s gossip circles. Many of School Beauty Jiang’s admirers are raring to go, waiting to teach her mysterious off-campus boyfriend a lesson."
"Hey, shut up! School Beauty Jiang’s mysterious, Lamborghini-driving boyfriend is here!"
"For real? Damn, School Beauty Jiang’s mystery boyfriend is no slouch either. That Lamborghini supercar has to be worth at least a few million."
"Quick, take a picture! Post it on the campus Tieba! The public enemy of all male Ji University students has arrived! Brothers, get ready for battle!"
...
Li Yuan parked the eye-catching Lamborghini at the entrance of Ji University and scanned the area.
Jiang Zhiyu was already rushing toward him excitedly.
"Xia Hua, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for more than half an hour."
