Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 60 - 59: Found a Treasure Girl? (Please Follow)

Li Yuan’s gaze was fixed on the shy, timid girl, waiting for her presentation.

Over an hour of presentation ti had already passed. For the students who ca on later, unless their performance was exceptionally brilliant, they didn’t attract much attention, and even the applause was sparse.

When this girl got on stage, she took the microphone, looking visibly nervous.

Li Yuan could see her body trembling slightly. She only lifted her head for a mont to glance at the audience before quickly lowering it again.

"C-Classmates... e-everyone... good morning. My na is Xia Zhijin, I’m from Shancheng, and my... my hobby... is reading..."

After she finished, Xia Zhijin nervously handed the microphone back to the instructor, Qi Siyu. With her head still lowered, she returned to her seat by the wall and sat there, lost in a daze.

If soone had been close enough, they would have seen the heavenly beauty of her lowered face. She surpassed every other girl in the class. Even compared to Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, she was not just their equal but even a cut above—a true hidden treasure.

Unfortunately, most of the other boys in the class paid no attention to this plainly dressed, stuttering, shy girl. Their focus was on Tan Yanqiu and Wang Jierong—two girls who were well-dressed, had great figures, and a sexy charm, with good looks to match.

Who says n only like eighteen-year-old girls? When they’re eighteen themselves, boys are often more drawn to mature, sexy, and charismatic won.

Of course, Li Yuan was an exception.

Because he had been watching this girl, waiting for her to introduce herself, he saw her true beauty in the instant she lifted her head.

Such a pure girl still exists? If Bai Weixi has the face of a first love, Zhong Tingyue has the air of a Goddess, and Jiang Zhiyu is youthful and quirky with a touch of a dominant older sister... then this girl, Xia Zhijin, is the absolute epito of purity.

The image of Xia Zhijin looking up was seared into Li Yuan’s mind.

Her gaze was as clear as water, like a celestial fairy, untouched by worldly affairs, who had descended to the mortal realm. That unique feeling of pureness and clarity caused his heart, long sealed with cent, to crack open just a little. Before her, even when he t Zhong Tingyue and Jiang Zhiyu, he had never felt such a singular sensation.

It was just like in his past life: love at first sight, a destiny written in his dreams. Except, the dream from that past life had been shattered, wounding him very, very deeply.

If she hadn’t been the ideal he had dread of, his greatest aspiration, Li Yuan would have completely cut ties with Bai Weixi after his rebirth and never given her a second thought. But he was a man, one who had loved in vain in his past life and then, with his heart sealed in cent, quickly fallen into depravity.

After being reborn, he had almost no mory of the several girlfriends who ca after. Only Bai Weixi remained in the depths of his mory. He thought he could forget her, but she had already taken firm root, leaving a thorn that could never be removed.

A tainted first love is still a first love.

But this girl nad Xia Zhijin—her gaze stirred the waves in his heart once more.

"Ah, my heart skipped a beat. Crap, I can’t look away..." Li Yuan murmured to himself. "She really is a hidden treasure!"

Liu Jia overheard Li Yuan’s muttering and asked, "Yuan, what was that about a hidden treasure?"

Li Yuan glanced at him and smiled faintly. "You heard wrong. I didn’t say anything."

Liu Jia, still puzzled, pressed on, "I’m sure I heard you. You really didn’t say anything?"

"Nope!"

Liu Jia nodded. "Then I must have misheard. By the way, Yuan, who do you think is the prettiest of the twenty-four girls in our class?"

Li Yuan countered, "Why? You plan on chasing whichever one is prettiest?"

A shy look crossed Liu Jia’s face as he nodded and whispered in Li Yuan’s ear, "Yuan, I think Wang Jierong is really pretty. She’s so feminine, mature, and sexy. She’s my type."

Li Yuan was taken aback and couldn’t help but look at the top of Liu Jia’s head. When he had first entered the classroom, his gaze swept over everyone, and he had briefly t Wang Jierong’s eyes. Her eyes really knew how to draw soone in.

Li Yuan’s strange look gave Liu Jia goosebumps. He frowned and said, "Yuan, don’t look at like that. You’re creeping out."

Li Yuan asked in a solemn tone, "Liu, my friend, do you normally like to wear hats?"

Liu Jia didn’t understand the hidden aning. "Why would a guy wear a hat? That’s more of a girl thing, right?"

Li Yuan nodded. "Good that you don’t. I hope you never wear one, especially not a green one."

Liu Jia didn’t get it right away and muttered, "Who has nothing better to do than wear a hat?" Then he asked, "Yuan, if I go after Wang Jierong, do you think I have a shot?"

Li Yuan shot Liu Jia an odd look. Was this guy delusional? A girl like Wang Jierong wasn’t soone he could handle. Did Liu Jia have any idea how much her clothes, handbag, perfu, and makeup cost? Besides, from his experience, Wang Jierong was far from a novice. A girl like her could be easy to pursue—as long as the guy was rich and handso. But she could also be incredibly difficult because her experiences had made her more demanding. If she’d been with a few different n, her threshold would be set sky-high, and there wouldn’t be much happiness to be found even if they did get together. Often, the more mature and sexy a woman appeared, the more experience she had. Of course, a one-night stand or two was always an option. At the very least, he wouldn’t have to keep his own hand busy, and it was cleaner than paying for it.

Naturally, the current Li Yuan wasn’t interested. With his wealth, the average girl couldn’t even hope to catch his titanium-alloy wolf eyes. In a huge city like Modu, there was no shortage of all kinds of beautiful won.

As ti went on, it was soon the turn of Li Yuan, Liu Jia, and the others in the back row. Yi Jing, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang gave simple introductions—just their na, hotown, and hobbies—before quickly leaving the stage.

When it was Liu Jia’s turn, Li Yuan and the others leaned forward with interest. This guy had boasted back in the dorm about having a creative presentation, which had even made Zhou Tianyu, who was determined to beco class president, nervous for a mont. Now, it was finally Liu Jia’s turn, and his roommates were all waiting in anticipation.

"Liu Jia, you’re up! We’re all waiting for your creative performance."

"Yeah, let’s see what kind of creativity you’ve got."

Liu Jia stood up nervously. Including his shoes, he was nearly 1.9 ters tall, making him the tallest in their computer science class. The mont he stepped onto the platform, gasps of surprise rippled through the classroom.

"Is he also in Zhou Tianyu’s dorm? He’s so tall! He must be 1.9 ters, a whole thirty centiters taller than ," Wang Jierong remarked.

"Yeah, he’s in the sa dorm as Zhou Tianyu and Li Yuan. I heard he’s from Chuan Province."

"Judging by his clothes, his family must be pretty average. Not like Zhou Tianyu or Li Yuan."

"Jierong, is family wealth really that important?" Fang Yanni asked, unable to understand.

Wang Jierong stated it as if it were obvious. "Yanni, you don’t get it now, but you will in the future. Money is incredibly important. All that crap about love is worthless in the face of it."

"Jierong, you can’t slander love like that! Love is a beautiful thing," Fang Yanni retorted, her brow furrowed. She was speechless inside, and her tone hardened. The two were roommates, and Wang Jierong was generous, even teaching her how to apply makeup.

Wang Jierong simply smiled with a profound look and said nothing more.

Who hasn’t grown out of that kind of naive and innocent mindset? In this world, the one thing that can change a person the most is ti itself.

After taking the stage and grasping the microphone, Liu Jia looked nervously at his classmates below and began to speak slowly.

"Fellow students, my na is Liu Jia, and I’m from Chuan Province. I’m guessing your first impression of is probably, ’Whoa, look at that big, simple-looking guy.’"

"But even a big guy can have a bit of wit."

"The classmates before have already set a high bar with their amazing and creative self-introductions."

"So, to make sure all of you rember —especially our class’s twenty-four pretty, beautiful, cute, gentle, sexy... and I’ll skip the other 108 words of praise I have prepared... female classmates—I’ve decided to introduce myself in a different way."

"So, dear classmates, please allow to use a special thod to bring my roommate, and my partner in this, up on stage with ."

Holding the microphone, Liu Jia pointed a finger at Li Yuan, who was still waiting for the show to unfold.

"The one I’ve been waiting for is you, Li Yuan! Get on up and let our classmates get a good look at you!"
