Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 128 - 97: The First Love Regrets and Wants to Chase

While Li Yuan spent most of his day at the company focused on entrepreneurial ventures like ga developnt and website construction, a different kind of excitent was brewing nearby. At Daxia University, less than two kiloters from Longyu Building, a piece of news was rapidly spreading through the dormitories, Tieba forums, and canteens. Soon, everyone was talking about *Battle Starry Sky* and the Great Writer...

"Did you hear that explosive news? The author of *Battle Starry Sky,* the best-selling fantasy novel on the internet right now, turns out to be a freshman from our Daxia University... Holy crap, that’s unbelievably amazing."

"I saw it on our school’s Tieba, too. It seems the news leaked from so class group chat and has been confird. Jeez, a freshman, an internet Great Writer, making a million a month... *I feel like I’m dreaming. This is too damn unreal.*"

"Soone else’s eighteen is making a million a month with a work that’s a national hit. Our eighteen is just holing up in a university dorm, pulling all-nighters playing video gas. The gap is just staggering."

"A million a month... you couldn’t spend that in a lifeti! It’s an unimaginable amount on campus. I only get a pitiful 600 for living expenses every month. Damn it, his monthly inco is higher than my living expenses for a hundred years!"

"I’m a bit curious, is writing web novels really that profitable? I’ve read *Battle Starry Sky*, and while the story is interesting, the writing is total crap. It has no literary value, just simplistic prose for beginners. If I were the one writing it, my skills are definitely better. A million a month? I could do that too."

"Heh, then why don’t you go ahead and try writing? You spend half a day procrastinating on an 800-word essay. Do you really think your brain has the capacity to write a novel with millions of words?"

"Who are you looking down on? I was in the humanities track in high school, scored over 640 on the college entrance exam, and I’m majoring in Chinese Literature. You think writing so stupid web novel is a big deal? I’m getting ready to start writing now. Web novels are just the sa old tropes: wish-fulfillnt, face-slapping, and showing off. You can’t even call it online literature, let alone sothing that would get a physical publication. Just you watch. I’ll take the world by storm and beco a national sensation."

"Don’t be so quick to dismiss it. Honestly, hearing about his inco is really tempting. I’m not saying I could make a million a month, but with my writing skills? I’ve been published in magazines like *Readers* and *True Story*. I’m pretty sure I could make one or two hundred thousand a month writing web novels without much trouble."

"Web novels are all just the sa common formula: low status plus a cheat ability plus face-slapping plus a leveling-up plot. I could totally do it."

"I read that novel this morning. It’s a classic wish-fulfillnt story. The emotional hooks are decent enough. If I were to write it, putting out sothing of that level wouldn’t be a big problem."

...

All over the Daxia Campus and in the male and female dormitories, everyone was discussing *Battle Starry Sky*. If it were students from other universities, they might just talk about it for a mont and laugh it off. But it was different when the young writer earning a million a month was from their own university. So were envious, so were jealous, and there were plenty of people who thought, "I could do that too."

In the i Yuan girls’ dormitory, room A-1314, several girls were also discussing this topic.

Wang Lisha was browsing Daxia University’s Tieba, where the top trending post was about Li Yuan—[Shocking Bombshell: The Great Writer of *Battle Starry Sky* Who Earns a Million a Month Is a Freshman at Our School!]. The post detailed the entire story and its verification, though it had censored specific details like nas and profile pictures. The comnt thread below it had already swelled to over a thousand replies.

"Ladies, check this out! There’s so shocking news," Wang Lisha exclaid. "We have a literary genius at our school, a freshman who’s making a million a month!"

Deng iqi leaned over for a look, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I heard so people talking about this when I was getting lunch at the canteen. I thought it was a joke, but it’s actually real?"

Ding Shanshan also ca over. Looking at the post, she asked curiously, "Who is this freshman? What’s his major? This is incredible. A million a month... I couldn’t even have a dream that good at night."

"Is he writing a web novel? I usually read urban romance. But can you really earn that much from writing novels? A million a month seems a bit exaggerated."

"You can make money writing novels? Aren’t they free to read? I never pay to read novels."

"There must be paid websites. It’s just that most of us read pirated versions. Strictly speaking, we’re infringing on the author’s rights, aren’t we?"

"Shasha, hurry and find out who this person is," one of the roommates urged. "I’m dying to know what his major is! It’ll be so exciting to go watch him in class."

As her curious roommates chattered, Wang Lisha scrolled through the comnt thread. Soon, she discovered so key information.

Wang Lisha announced in shock, "Found it! The author’s exposed QQ nickna is ’Life Like Sumr Flowers,’ and it seems he’s a freshman in the computer science program this year?"

Ding Shanshan asked doubtfully, "A computer science major writing a web novel? And it’s that good? How is that even possible?"

"Who knows? I assud he’d be in a major like Chinese Language and Literature."

Bai Weixi, who was chatting with Wang Yuchen on QQ, froze when she heard "Life Like Sumr Flowers" and "computer science program." A familiar image imdiately surfaced in her mind.

When it ca to Li Yuan’s QQ nickna, Bai Weixi was more familiar with it than anyone. First love, as dazzling as sumr flowers... that was a mory she would never forget for the rest of her life.
