Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 48 - 47 The Plot Unfolds a Bit Magical

The West Gate wasn’t far from Li Yuan’s dorm.

With an anxious heart, he walked toward the gate, various images flashing through his mind. He shuddered, recalling all those videos he’d seen on TikTok of people eting their online dates for the first ti. It would be one thing if she were just an ordinary girl with a squeaky, affected voice—he could just close his eyes and get through it. But if she turned out to be a human tank, his slight fra wouldn’t be able to handle it. That wouldn’t be a story; it would be a disaster...

I can’t even imagine it. No, I won’t. Running into a scene like that would be way too much excitent.

As for the possibility of her being a stunning beauty, the thought hadn’t even crossed Li Yuan’s mind.

A bookworm who loves reading, especially fantasy novels, and is bold enough to seek out? No way she could be a beauty. True beauties are always reserved!

Li Yuan didn’t notice that not far behind him, Zhou Tianyu, Liu Jia, and Yi Jing were secretly tailing him, eager to see who he was going to et.

"Hey guys, want to make a bet?" Zhou Tianyu said with a mischievous smile. Rating girls was his favorite pasti. "Guess what score Li Yuan’s date will get for her looks?"

Liu Jia’s eyes lit up. "Tianyu, quick, tell us! How do you rate girls?"

Zhou Tianyu chuckled. "Let ask you, if you were chasing a girl, what would you value most?"

Liu Jia thought for a mont before answering, "Definitely looks first. Looks are everything, and I’m a sucker for a pretty face. Then maybe height, weight, figure, personality, and education?"

Zhou Tianyu pursed his lips. "That’s a bit superficial and basic."

"I’ll tell you, when you’re rating girls, looks are the number one criterion, that’s true. But after that, it’s not height. It’s legs, chest, feet, and butt, in that order... Each one offers a different kind of experience, get it?"

A look of sudden realization dawned on Liu Jia. He gave Zhou Tianyu a strange, wicked smile. "Heh, Tianyu, you’re really sothing else. You speak with such authority, it sounds like you have plenty of practical experience."

Standing to the side, Yi Jing’s face turned red as he listened. This was a completely new experience for him, nothing like he’d ever encountered in high school. College life really is amazing!

Zhou Tianyu wore a look of smug confidence. "You bet. Back in my hotown of Guanyun, the world’s capital of sensuality, pretty much everyone knows this stuff."

"Just knowing the theory isn’t enough; you need practice too, right?" Liu Jia chuckled, then asked another question out of curiosity. "Looks like the special industries in Guanyun must be thriving. So, Tianyu, according to your system, what scores would you give Zhong Tingyue and the other two girls we t today?"

Zhou Tianyu didn’t answer right away. He thought for a mont, scoring them according to his internal criteria. After a long pause, he finally spoke. "Zhong Tingyue’s looks get a 99. The missing point is just to keep her from getting arrogant. As for her figure, she was dressed a bit too conservatively, so it’s hard to judge accurately. But my conservative estimate would still be over 90. Her overall score is definitely above 95..."

"I seriously doubt you could find a prettier girl in our entire university..."

At that thought, Zhou Tianyu couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it! That guy Li Yuan is unbelievably lucky. He actually knew Zhong Tingyue from before and acted so familiar with her."

"Being close by gives you the first shot. Don’t tell he’s actually managed to win over a campus belle like Zhong Tingyue..."

"The pressure on is imnse!"

Hearing Zhou Tianyu’s score for Zhong Tingyue, Liu Jia nodded as if it were a matter of course. Zhong Tingyue was truly beautiful—flawlessly so, with no imperfections to be found from any angle.

"Tianyu, you aren’t actually thinking of pursuing Zhong Tingyue, are you?" Liu Jia hesitated for a mont before deciding he had to say sothing. "Li Yuan is our roommate. Wouldn’t that affect our friendship?"

Zhou Tianyu was silent for a mont before sighing with deep aning. "It’s hard to be rational when it cos to love."

"They might seem to get along, but that doesn’t guarantee they’ll end up together. It’s just fair competition. Besides, there’s no guarantee that Zhong Tingyue would even be interested in either of us."

"And anyway, isn’t Li Yuan on his way to et his girlfriend right now? Maybe he and Zhong Tingyue are just simple acquaintances."

Liu Jia thought that made sense. A girl with goddess-level looks like Zhong Tingyue was also a student at a top-tier 985 university. With such outstanding qualities, he couldn’t even begin to imagine how sought-after she must be. At the very least, soone on his level wouldn’t even dare to dream about it.

Beautiful won were a rare commodity, and a top-tier beauty like Zhong Tingyue, with the added bonus of a degree from a prestigious university, was a devastating combination...

"So what about Xu Tingrou and Ding Shanshan? What scores do they get?"

Zhou Tianyu curled his lip. "They’re just average. Take away the bonus for their education, and you’ll find girls with their looks and figures a di a dozen in Modu."

"Still, the fact that they go to a 985 university makes them pretty decent. For so people, that’s a way to improve their future children’s genes, so they’re probably quite sought-after in Modu."

"Xu Tingrou gets a 60, I guess. Her height and legs aren’t bad, but she doesn’t know how to dress up. If she put on so makeup, she’d pass for a pretty girl."

"Ding Shanshan gets a 65. A baby face, a loli voice, and a curvier figure are all bonus points."

Liu Jia gave him a thumbs-up. Zhou Tianyu truly lived up to his reputation of hailing from Guanyun, the so-called world capital of sensuality. He spoke with such logic and authority. Liu Jia felt he had learned a lot.

As they talked, they reached the campus’s west gate.

"Look, there’s Li Yuan. He’s looking around and seems a bit nervous."

"That’s weird. Isn’t he eting his girlfriend? Why is he so nervous? Is his conscience bothering him?"

"Tianyu, what would Li Yuan have to feel guilty about?"

"Hmph. Liu Jia, you saw how Zhong Tingyue and Li Yuan acted at lunch today. Their relationship isn’t so simple."

"That Li Yuan has so serious ga. I really need to learn from him."

When Li Yuan arrived at the west gate, he glanced around but didn’t see "Love Eating Cilantro."

She couldn’t possibly be pulling my leg, could she? Suspicious, Li Yuan took out his phone and dialed her number.

"Hey, Cilantro, I’m at the west gate. Where are you?"

A cry of excitent ca from the other end of the line. "Author Xia Hua, I see you! You’re the tall guy in the white shirt and light blue jacket, right?"

"Yes, that’s ," Li Yuan replied. "I don’t see you, though."

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw the door of a black Rolls-Royce, parked by the side of the road, swing open. A young woman in Hanfu, wearing a traditional horse-face skirt and holding a bouquet of flowers, started walking toward him.

The woman in Hanfu was about 1.68 ters tall. She had a jade hairpin in her hair and held the bouquet in front of her, but her exposed arms were incredibly fair, like segnts of a lotus root, glowing white in the setting sun...

Li Yuan stared, transfixed, barely able to believe his eyes. Could it really be her?

Under his fixed gaze, this strikingly beautiful woman in Hanfu approached him, bouquet in hand.

She had a delicate face with large, bright eyes and perfectly shaped, arched eyebrows. Her complexion was as flawless and white as mutton-fat jade, with a shallow dimple on each cheek. She had alluring peach blossom eyes and a pointed, smooth chin, giving her the sweet, familiar air of the girl next door...

Li Yuan’s traitorous heart began to pound violently again. He stared blankly, unable to believe he was looking at this woman in Hanfu.

A girl with these looks and this figure is the sa hardcore fan who ssages good morning and good night on QQ and chats with so caringly? Not only that, but she’s also a wealthy young woman with considerable influence? What kind of fairy-tale plot is this? It’s too unbelievable. This isn’t so urban idol drama. This is a straight-up urban sci-fi fantasy!

"Author Xia Hua, hello. I’m ’Love Eating Cilantro.’ My real na is Jiang Zhiyu. I’m from Modu, and it’s so nice to et you."
