Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 146 - 103: The First Love’s Counter-chase? Accept or

Wang Yuchen, without a care in the world, savored the King Crab and mumbled, "Bai, what troubles could Li Yuan, the tyrant, possibly have? Successful in love and business, financially independent—his life must be wonderful."

Seeing Li Yuan’s expression, Bai Weixi frowned, a pang of distress in her own heart. She gritted her teeth, as if she had just made up her mind.

"Li Yuan, if you’re upset, I’ll have a drink with you."

When Wang Yuchen heard Bai Weixi offer to drink, she nearly choked on her juice. Staring at Bai Weixi’s pretty face, she asked in shock, "Bai, since when do you drink?"

Bai Weixi answered with a smile, "I don’t. Today is my first ti."

Wang Yuchen asked, baffled, "Then why do you want to drink?"

Bai Weixi didn’t answer. She just looked at Li Yuan, her eyes full of smiles, the aning as clear as day.

When Li Yuan heard that Bai Weixi wanted to have a drink with him, he was also taken aback. In his two lifetis combined, he had never seen Bai Weixi drink.

Just then, Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai ca over carrying two six-packs of pure draft beer.

Xu Zhi opened a beer and said cheerfully, "Seafood, beer, and barbecue. Life doesn’t get much better than this."

Wang Shuai responded, "You can say that again. We’re lucky to be riding Yuan’s coattails today and snagging this seafood feast. If I had to pay for it myself, I definitely wouldn’t have splurged. 688 per person... that’s so damn expensive. I’m going to eat my money’s worth today."

Xu Zhi poured a full glass for Li Yuan. "Co on, guys and you two lovely ladies! To us, high school classmates together again in Modu. Let’s have a toast!"

Bai Weixi glanced at Li Yuan and then handed her glass to Xu Zhi, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Xu Zhi, pour a glass too."

Seeing the glass Bai Weixi handed him, Xu Zhi paused, asking instinctively, "Bai, you’re going to drink with us too?"

Wang Yuchen teased, "Don’t flatter yourselves. Bai wants to drink with *soone*, and it’s not you two."

Xu Zhi glanced at Li Yuan for guidance. Li Yuan gave a barely perceptible nod. Xu Zhi understood instantly and imdiately poured Bai Weixi a glass.

When Xu Zhi saw that even Bai Weixi was drinking, he rembered Li Yuan’s earlier advice. His expression shifted as he turned to Wang Yuchen. "Yuchen, the four of us are drinking. Would you like to have so too?"

Wang Yuchen was about to refuse, but seeing four pairs of eyes fixed on her expectantly, she shot a glare at Xu Zhi and reluctantly agreed, "Fine, I’ll have one glass."

Relieved, Xu Zhi promptly replied, "Great! One glass it is." He imdiately poured her a glass, as if afraid she’d go back on her word.

A small smile played on Li Yuan’s lips. Today’s Xu Zhi seems to have finally caught on. When soft tactics fail, is it ti for a more devious approach? Actually, that might be a brilliant idea. Once there’s a first ti, can the second and third be far behind? For any girl, the first ti is the most precious and sothing she’ll never forget. After that, her psychological defenses will be much lower. To deal with a girl with sly tendencies like Wang Yuchen, one needed to use so special tactics. Otherwise, with Xu Zhi’s current abilities, she could really lead him around like a husky to be summoned and dismissed at will.

Li Yuan raised his glass, clinking it with Bai Weixi, Wang Yuchen, Xu Zhi, and Wang Shuai. He began cheerfully, "Cheers! Let’s not go ho until we’re all drunk!"

Xu Zhi glanced at Li Yuan and understood his aning. He then gritted his teeth. "No going ho until we’re drunk!" With that, he downed the entire glass.

It was Bai Weixi’s first ti drinking. She took one sip and her brow furrowed, but seeing the three n chug a whole glass, she steeled herself and took a large gulp.

"PTOOEY, PTOOEY, PTOOEY!" Wang Yuchen had the sa reaction. "Beer is disgusting! Why do you guys like it so much?"

Li Yuan added, "Because drinking really can ease a terrible mood."

Wang Shuai laughed heartily. "When with good friends, a thousand cups are never enough! It’s not the wine that intoxicates, but the person themselves. Our drinking culture dates all the way back to the Pre-Qin era. A al without a drink just doesn’t feel right."

Xu Zhi also laughed. "I didn’t use to drink much either, but that tipsy feeling you get is actually quite comfortable."

Wang Yuchen pouted. "You three are going to be a bunch of alcoholics."

Bai Weixi, however, looked at Li Yuan with concern, her cheeks flushed as she asked, "Li Yuan, are you in a very bad mood?"

Li Yuan shook his head. I really want to tell you my mood is terrible *because* you exist. If it weren’t for you, I could have lived a carefree life, both before and after my rebirth. That day, that scene... it completely crushed all my forr pride and self-esteem into dust. I’ve never been able to pick them back up since.

Bai Weixi raised her glass toward Li Yuan, her beautiful eyes shimring with deep affection. She said earnestly, "I’ll drink with you. I hope you can be in a good mood every day."

Li Yuan clinked her glass, downed his in one go, and turned it upside down to show it was empty.

Bai Weixi pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and also drank most of the beer in her glass in one go.

"COUGH, COUGH..." Seeing Bai Weixi choke, Wang Yuchen quickly patted her on the back and snatched the glass away. "Bai, if you can’t drink, then drink less. You’re not really trying to out-drink the guys, are you?"

Bai Weixi gave Wang Yuchen a small smile and took her glass back. "I made a promise to Li Yuan." Then, with a frown, she finished the rest of the beer in the glass, one small sip at a ti.

After finishing the glass of beer, Bai Weixi’s cheeks grew even redder. She imitated Li Yuan, turning her own glass upside down. Her eyes crinkled with a smile as she announced, "Look, Li Yuan, I finished it too!"
