Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 104 - 88: Little Moon’s Fluttering Heart, The Goddes

Li Yuan saw the hopeful look in Zhong Tingyue’s eyes and nodded, standing up to grab four bottles of Budweiser beer. He secured a bottle with his left hand and, using a chopstick in his right, deftly pried the cap off.

Watching Li Yuan skillfully open the bottle with a chopstick, Ding Shanshan clicked her tongue in amazent. "Tsk, tsk. Li Yuan, opening a beer like that... you must be a Northerner. You look like you can really drink."

Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Back in my hotown, with my alcohol tolerance, I’d have to sit at the children’s table during als."

Ding Shanshan pouted, clearly unconvinced. "Oh, co on. You’re just ssing with us."

"Back ho, we down thousands of cups of baijiu; beer is nothing."

Li Yuan just laughed it off. He wasn’t actually lying. With his low tolerance, he wouldn’t even dare claim to be a drinker among his colleagues in the system.

Li Yuan opened two bottles of beer and placed them in front of Zhong Tingyue. "Tingyue, how’s your alcohol tolerance? Are two bottles enough?"

Zhong Tingyue shot Li Yuan a look and said flatly, "This is my first ti drinking."

Li Yuan bead. "Then I’m truly honored."

Ding Shanshan grinned as she poured herself a glass of juice. "I tried beer once. It was disgusting—tasted like hotpot rinse water. I don’t get why you guys love drinking so much."

Xu Tingrou chid in, "Because drinking really can help you drown your sorrows. I had a beer once in high school, and that tipsy feeling did make a lot of my troubles disappear."

Ding Shanshan took a sip of her juice. "I think fruit wine is way better. It’s sweet, like a soda, but you still get that tipsy feeling."

Zhong Tingyue just smiled without saying anything, her gaze occasionally stealing glances at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Xu Tingrou and asked, "Tingrou, do you want so too?"

Xu Tingrou shot him a look and shook her head. Afraid he might misunderstand, she added in a low voice, "Today... it’s not a convenient ti for ."

Li Yuan understood imdiately. It was that ti of the month.

"Tingyue, I’m a real lightweight," Li Yuan said. "Don’t get drunk, or I won’t be able to find my way ho."

Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Yuan. Her reply stunned the other three at the table. "Then I’ll stay with you."

Ding Shanshan’s eyes darted between Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue. There’s definitely sothing going on between them.

Struck with a playful idea, Ding Shanshan grinned and asked, "Li Yuan, let ask you sothing. Do you have a girlfriend right now?"

Li Yuan instinctively glanced at Zhong Tingyue, only to find her watching him, waiting for his answer. Left with no other choice, he swallowed the words he had been about to say.

I’m so sorry, my precious girl.

"Hmm, how should I put this... I didn’t have one before, I don’t have one now, and as for the future... maybe I will, maybe I won’t."

Ding Shanshan pouted. "Li Yuan, I feel like you’re lying to us again. A guy who can lie as smoothly as you couldn’t possibly be single."

"So you’re deliberately trying to fool us, aren’t you?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said calmly, "Then just assu I have one." In truth, he did.

Ding Shanshan pouted. "You’re no fun. You’re not being straight with us at all."

"Let ask you another question, and you better answer truthfully this ti."

Li Yuan joked, "This feels like an interrogation. You’re making a little nervous."

Ding Shanshan huffed. "Well, that’s what you get for lying to us in the first place. Consider this your punishnt."

"Alright, I accept. Keep asking. I’ll tell you everything I know," Li Yuan said with a smile.

Ding Shanshan looked at him earnestly and asked, "Li Yuan, are you trying to pursue our Tingyue?"

Li Yuan glanced at Zhong Tingyue, noting the complex emotions in her eyes, but he still shook his head. "I know my limits. I wouldn’t want to make a fool of myself."

Xu Tingrou was taken aback by Li Yuan’s answer. How could he lack that much confidence? That didn’t seem right. Judging by his clothes, his conduct, his height, and his looks, he should be an extrely self-assured person.

"Hmph, you’re lying again! I don’t believe you for a second," Ding Shanshan said, nudging Zhong Tingyue with a grin. "Tingyue, on the way here, did Li Yuan sing to you?"

Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful eyes flickered toward Li Yuan as she gave a slight nod. He didn’t just sing to —he wrote the song just for .

"Wow, Li Yuan! You say one thing and do another! And you still claim you don’t have designs on our Tingyue?"

Ding Shanshan gave Li Yuan a look of disdain, not believing a single word he said anymore. He secretly sings a song for a girl but claims he doesn’t want to pursue her? Does he just want to be friends? Unbelievable. If it were any ordinary girl, fine. But this was her roommate, a girl with goddess-like beauty. From the mont she started university, she was showered with flowers and love letters. She and another girl were known as the ’Twin Beauties of the Finance Academy.’ Since the other beauty was also their roommate, the boys at the Finance Academy had nicknad their room the ’Goddess Dorm.’

Ding Shanshan actually had a good impression of Li Yuan, so she offered a well-intentioned warning. "Li Yuan, if you don’t make a move soon, you’re going to lose your chance. The line of guys chasing our Tingyue could stretch from i Yuan all the way to your Lan Yuan. She gets flowers and love letters every single day. If you don’t act now, don’t co crying to later when you regret it!"

Li Yuan simply smiled without saying anything. He knew Ding Shanshan was telling the truth.

Among the nearly one hundred institutions of higher education in Modu, Xia University was renowned for having the most beautiful won. With Zhong Tingyue’s goddess-level looks, she was guaranteed to attract a legion of suitors...

And it wasn’t just Zhong Tingyue. If that low-key treasure, Xia Zhijin, ever decided to stop hiding her looks, the sa would happen to her.
