Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 100 - 86: Reuniting with Zhong Tingyue, When Lies ar

Watching Xia Zhijin go upstairs, Li Yuan touched his lips, no longer able to hold back his smile.

Today had a perfect start. Thinking about the days to co filled him with bliss—the deeply satisfying kind.

Xia Zhijin is just that kind of treasure: a pure, gentle, and shy girl with zero experience in romance. Faced with my well-practiced, battlefield-tested tactics, she stood no chance. She was utterly defeated, and her first kiss was effortlessly stolen. I’m only a step away from breaching the high ground...

As expected, the Grand Master’s teaching was right: if you can make a move with your hands, do it; if you can make a move with your mouth, do it... Even if you fail, you gain experience and can cut your losses. But if you succeed... hehe...

Li Yuan was so happy he started humming a cheerful tune as he walked back to the Lan Yuan n’s dormitory, his mood exceptionally bright.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from his good friend, Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai also attended university in Modu. Due to military training, they hadn’t t up in the city yet, only exchanging occasional ssages.

Li Yuan answered cheerfully, "Hey, Dazhi, what made you think of calling ?"

Xu Zhi’s voice was a bit downcast. "Li Yuan, from the sound of it, you seem pretty happy. That’s not what I expected. I thought you’d be down for a while."

Li Yuan was confused. "Why would I be down? Our wonderful college life has just begun. We should be happily embracing the sweetness of love."

"Yuan, did you and Bai Weixi get back together?" Xu Zhi asked, surprised.

Before Li Yuan could answer, Xu Zhi muttered to himself, "I guess so. You chased Bai Weixi for three years and were just about to finally succeed. How could you give up so easily? With her attitude toward you, you could win her over with just a little effort, Yuan."

I’m speechless. When did this beco about that green tea, Bai Weixi, again? I’ve almost forgotten all about her. I have a perfect choice right in front of now—the treasure that is Xia Zhijin. I’m enjoying this feeling of first love with her; I don’t have ti to deal with a green tea like Bai Weixi. I don’t want to talk about this yet; there’s no need. When the ti is right, I’ll give my brothers a huge surprise.

Sensing that Xu Zhi was not in high spirits, Li Yuan asked curiously, "Dazhi, you don’t sound too good. What’s wrong? Tell about it."

"Did you and your Little Chili have a fight?"

Xu Zhi nodded and imdiately began to pour out his grievances. "Yuan, are all girls this unreasonable? You and Bai Weixi had a falling out, and now Wang Yuchen is calling you an irresponsible scumbag and telling not to hang out with you..."

"I just told her she was making a fuss over nothing, and she got angry. She’s been ignoring for days now, and nothing I do to coax her seems to work..."

Li Yuan was at a loss for words. Xu Zhi’s girlfriend, Wang Yuchen, had a boisterous, fiery personality that had earned her the high school nickna "Little Chili." Never was a nickna more fitting; her personality matched it perfectly.

"All this over sothing so stupid? You’re usually so cunning, man. How did you turn into such a blockhead? Just curse out in front of her a few tis, and it’ll be fine. For the sake of your blissful future, and to give your hand a break from working day and night, I’ll take the heat for this..."

After teasing him a bit, Li Yuan suddenly rembered sothing and asked urgently, "Dazhi, how far have you and Little Chili gone?"

Xu Zhi asked in confusion, "What do you an, how far have we gone?"

"I an, have you and Wang Yuchen kissed yet? Or gone even further, all the way to ho base?"

Xu Zhi cursed with a laugh. "Li Yuan, you old lecher, what on earth goes through that head of yours all day?"

Li Yuan was shocked. "Then how far have you gone? Don’t tell you’ve only held hands!"

Xu Zhi grumbled indignantly, "What do you an ’only held hands’? I had to put in a lot of effort for that, okay? Besides, my love for Yuchen is genuine. I don’t want to force her to do anything she’s not comfortable with..."

"I believe that as long as I treat her well enough and give her everything I have, she’ll eventually co around, and everything will fall into place naturally..."

Li Yuan’s jaw dropped, and he was suddenly at a loss for words. Xu Zhi’s experience... isn’t this the spitting image of my own damn past life? Back then, I had the exact sa mindset with Bai Weixi. I thought that as long as I gave her my all with a clear conscience, unconditionally devoted myself to her, I would reap the rewards of our relationship...

Bullshit! As if that would ever work! What is this, simp literature? You really do beco who you hang out with... Could it be that every guy has been a simp during his first love?

Thinking of his own past and afraid that Xu Zhi would walk the sa pathetic path, Li Yuan advised him earnestly, "Dazhi, as a man, sotis you just have to strike boldly. If you can use your hands, use them. If you can use your mouth, use it. And if it cos to your little brother, go straight for a ho run. Don’t trouble your hand anymore... That’s how you take control in a relationship."

Xu Zhi, long accustod to Li Yuan’s risqué jokes, imdiately understood the implication.

"Get lost! You think everyone’s like you? I’m enjoying the naive purity of young love. We plan on saving our first ti for our wedding day."
