Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 290 - 141 Little Moon: So Angry, The Kind That Can’t Be Pacified_2

Upon hearing that Li Yuan was returning to school, Zhong Tingyue’s mood suddenly cleared up, and her tone became much livelier.

"Hehe, Senior, you don’t have to force yourself. I’ll be fine on my own, you know."

"Little Moon, I’m hanging up now. Wait for me, alright?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan quickly freshened up, then drove his BMW X6 to the mall. He purchased a limited-edition Chanel handbag worth 16,000 yuan to give to Zhong Tingyue as a gift.

An apology isn’t complete without a peace offering.

「Mei Yuan Dormitory, Room A-1314」

After ending her call with Li Yuan, a smile returned to Zhong Tingyue’s face. She had been quite upset. Despite already agreeing to be Li Yuan’s girlfriend and having shared intimate moments, he had neglected her completely for the past two days. He hadn’t even made any gesture for National Day today. She was genuinely angry, the kind that couldn’t be easily soothed.

Leaning against the window, Ding Shanshan grinned as she watched the circle of people surrounding the heart-shaped candle arrangement outside. "Tingyue, that Fang Zheng from our Finance Academy has been standing out there for almost an hour. He’s certainly persistent."

Xu Tingrou pursed her lips, clearly annoyed. "Fang Zheng is so cringe. Tingyue already told him she has a boyfriend, but he keeps pestering her. Now he’s even making a public confession in front of the dorm? I’m speechless."

Ding Shanshan blinked and glanced at the daydreaming Zhong Tingyue. "Fang Zheng is the type who won’t give up until he hits a dead end. He simply doesn’t believe Tingyue has a boyfriend. It’s a shame that in our whole class, only the two of us have actually seen him. No wonder they’re skeptical."

"Tingyue, in my opinion, you should just call Big Writer Li over and show them," she continued. "After they see him, I’m sure no one will bother you again."

Wang Lisha, who had just returned from an outing, heard the term "Big Writer Li" and asked with great curiosity, "Shanshan, is Tingyue’s boyfriend a writer?"

Ding Shanshan replied cheerfully, "Yes, he’s a very famous online writer! He’s also really handsome and stylish, very tall, and he’s Tingyue’s childhood sweetheart."

Wang Lisha felt an odd sense of familiarity with this description. She vaguely remembered Bai Weixi introducing her boyfriend in a similar way. He was her high school deskmate who had pursued her for three years, and they had mutual feelings for each other. On top of being childhood sweethearts, he was apparently a writer too.

What a coincidence. Zhong Tingyue from Sucheng in Jiangnan and Bai Weixi from Northern Anhui both had remarkably similar stories...

Ding Shanshan hummed and muttered, "Tingyue, where has Big Writer Li disappeared to these days? Not even a trace of him to be seen. Today is National Day, isn’t the whole country on holiday? What could he possibly be busy with?"

"I read online that writers are mostly homebodies," she went on. "Shouldn’t he be holed up in his dorm every day? How could he be traveling so often?"

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Ding Shanshan. This was exactly what was bothering her. It would have been fine on any other day, but today was a national public holiday. What could possibly be so pressing at his company to keep him busy today? She couldn’t understand it, which was why she was upset.

Wang Lisha asked curiously, "Tingyue, didn’t your boyfriend take you out today?"

Xu Tingrou interjected, also a bit displeased with Li Yuan, "Exactly. Tingyue has been alone in the dorm all day and hasn’t gone anywhere. Bai Weixi’s boyfriend took her out. They’ve been gone for a day and two nights now. Tingyue is such a stunning girl. Her boyfriend sure has a lot of nerve leaving her alone. If she were mine, I’d take her with me everywhere."

Ding Shanshan also joined in on criticizing Li Yuan. "Li Yuan really has gone too far. If he were my boyfriend, I’d give him the cold shoulder for a few days..."

Zhong Tingyue walked to the window, completely ignoring Fang Zheng, who was strumming a guitar and singing his confession. She gazed down the familiar road, hoping to spot Li Yuan’s figure.

She realized that from their chance encounter at the start of the school year, to the solo dance under the moonlight, the promise at the Three Lives Stone, and the meeting at the cinema... her heart had unknowingly become entwined with Li Yuan’s. She thought of him every moment and wanted to be with him... This feeling, she understood, was called love.

「...」

Li Yuan tossed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes to the gatekeeper and finally drove his BMW onto campus. The school’s automated gate used facial recognition, but since it wasn’t familiar with his face and his license plate wasn’t in the system, he had to resort to a little trick.

He parked the car beneath the Mei Yuan dormitory building and had just gotten out, carrying the newly purchased Chanel bag, when he noticed a crowd gathered ahead.

Huh, this scene looks familiar... It reminds me of watching public confessions in my past life.

Li Yuan muttered to himself. He was about to go check out the commotion when an image flashed in his mind from his phone call with Little Moon. He remembered Zhong Tingyue mentioning that someone was confessing to her below her dormitory. Li Yuan had assumed she was just saying it out of anger, but now he realized it was actually true.

Damn it, someone really dares to try and steal my girl.

Li Yuan’s gaze turned icy as he arrived at the scene. The chattering of the surrounding onlookers provided him with plenty of information.

"This guy is really persistent. He’s been waiting for an hour, but the girl hasn’t even shown her face. Looks like this will be another fruitless effort."

"Hey, I’m curious, which academy is the girl from? This is quite a spectacle. The guy confessing isn’t bad-looking, either."
