Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 413 172: Trouble in the Girls' Dormitory: A Conversa

Deng iqi smiled. "Li Yuan is very famous, after all, and his status isn't ordinary. His friends might not tell him what's going on."

"We've been talking about it for ages. If Li Yuan still has no clue that Weixi is angry, that would be hilarious."

"Weixi, did Li Yuan try to contact you this afternoon?"

Bai Weixi shook her head and said softly, "No."

Wang Lisha slapped her thigh. "Well, that settles it! He definitely doesn't know. Otherwise, wouldn't he have co to coax you by now?"

Deng iqi also chid in, offering Bai Weixi a strategy. "I think you should give him the cold shoulder for a few days. Even if he cos looking for you, don't give in so easily. You have to make him realize what he did wrong and just how furious you are. That's the only way to really make an impression on him. Otherwise, if it happens once, it could happen again..."

Wang Lisha continued, "Weixi, it's just like iqi said. You have to stand your ground this ti. Don't let yourself be so easily won over by his sweet talk."

"His cheating is a matter of principle. Since it's his first offense, we can give him one chance to change his ways, but there absolutely cannot be a next ti. If you can't keep him in line now, you'll have even less control over him in the future."

...

Zhong Tingyue sat on her bed in a daze, watching Wang Lisha and Deng iqi strategize for Bai Weixi. Her heart was a swirl of complex emotions.

I'm clearly a victim here too, but right now, I feel like a complete outsider.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Zhong Tingyue's gaze fell on the Louis Vuitton bag Li Yuan had given her that night. She really liked it and had kept it with her ever since. She took out her phone and saw a new text ssage.

Senior: "Little Moon, are you back at school yet?"

It was just a simple ssage from Li Yuan.

Zhong Tingyue stared at the ssage, her expression faltering. Acting as if she hadn't seen it, she put the phone back in her bag.

Since I already told Bai Weixi and my other roommates that I was backing out, there's no point in getting entangled any further. I'll just let this affection be buried deep in my heart and let it slowly fade away with ti.

Xu Tingrou, who had been sitting beside Zhong Tingyue the whole ti, caught a glimpse of Li Yuan's ssage out of the corner of her eye. She looked at Zhong Tingyue thoughtfully and sighed inwardly once more.

Yesterday, right after returning to Modu, Li Yuan drove straight to Sucheng to see Zhong Tingyue. Today, he was the one who texted her first. Clearly, Zhong Tingyue weighs just as much as Bai Weixi in Li Yuan's heart, maybe even more. If she were willing to fight for him, it wouldn't be impossible, but she chose to back down.

The atmosphere in the girls' dormitory was thick with tension, each of them lost in their own complicated thoughts.

「anwhile.」

Li Yuan was strolling through campus holding Xia Zhijin's small hand, chatting about amusing anecdotes from their lives and studies.

Being with Xia Zhijin always allowed him to enjoy a rare tranquility, free from any troubles.

Girls like Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and Jiang Zhiyu each provided him with a different kind of emotional value, offering unique experiences.

Xia Zhijin was the epito of grace, gentle as water. Even though he had cheated on her and beco a scumbag, she hadn't said a single word against him. She couldn't even bring herself to scold him. She was even afraid he would leave her, her cries sounding so helpless.

For him, a man who had lived two lifetis, she was a fatal yet wondrous redy—the perfect, ideal partner.

But is this fair to Xia Zhijin?

Li Yuan sighed inwardly. I'm straying further and further down the path of a scumbag.
