Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

"Alright, I know you’re happy, don’t take advantage and then act coy!"

But ultimately, she didn’t have the courage to say this.

Now, because of Li Yuan, Yang Jinyu’s family had changed.

...

The drinking continued until past nine in the evening before it finally ended.

Bai Tianliang, He Zhi, the old man, and the father-in-law Bai Tianqi were all drunk and staggering, relying on the walls to walk.

Fortunately, they all lived near Fourth Middle School and knew the area well, so they safely reached home.

Li Yuan himself was dizzy from the drink.

After a whole day of flying and driving, his tired body was overwhelmed by the alcohol and drowsiness...

"Brother, why did you drink so much? Let me help you into the room to sleep."

Bai Weixi was seeing Li Yuan drunk for the first time and felt very distressed.

She proactively supported Li Yuan and helped him into her bedroom.

Yang Jinyu saw this and frowned, saying nothing.

Tonight, five men had drunk themselves silly.

Look, Bai Tianqi was already asleep on the couch.

"Let’s leave it be. Anyway, Weixi and he have been that way for a while now, and at this hour, asking him to stay out wouldn’t be convenient or safe."

Yang Jinyu murmured, watching Bai Weixi support Li Yuan into her daughter’s room.

...

Li Yuan still retained a bit of consciousness, able to sense Bai Weixi guiding him to the bed.

Lying on Bai Weixi’s small bed, sniffing the unique fragrance, Li Yuan smiled foolishly, feeling his shoes and socks being removed.

Soon, his feet were placed by warm little hands into a basin of steaming water, receiving a gentle rub...

In a muddled state, Li Yuan had a vague awareness.

"Bai, is she washing my feet?"

Li Yuan wanted desperately to open his eyes and take a good look at Bai Weixi washing his feet.

This lifetime’s first love, a woman he had loved without receiving love and loved with hatred.

At this moment, she was gently washing his feet...

Is this really not a dream?

Yet, he truly couldn’t open his eyes, as if a lock sewed them shut...

After a while,

Having finished washing his feet, Li Yuan felt warm little hands begin to gently wipe his face and neck with a wet towel...

Under the combined effects of alcohol and exhaustion, Li Yuan finally fell into a deep sleep...

After tenderly wiping Li Yuan’s face, Bai Weixi looked at him lying in bed, and some unknown thought made her face suddenly blush, shyly murmuring to herself.

"Brother, if only you could always be by my side, I’d care for you like Mom looks after Dad, become your wife, how wonderful that would be!"

"We could have two babies, preferably twins—a boy and a girl—because only one child would be too lonely. Then our family of four could live together, watch them grow up, explore the world and its views, experience romance..."

Bai Weixi murmured to herself, letting dreamy scenes play in her mind, becoming somewhat entranced.

After a long time,

Bai Weixi returned to her senses, watching the man on the bed who had sunk into sleep, snoring softly, and sighed deeply, her heart feeling extraordinarily complicated.

Sometimes,

She doubted herself,

Could she truly accept that the man she gave her all to love also loved other women?

But she dared not imagine; if she truly left Li Yuan, what kind of regret she would face.

Bai Weixi’s eyes revealed a tinge of confusion.

This afternoon, after hearing such harsh words from the father and mother who always coddled her.

Hadn’t her heart been touched?

No,

At that moment, her heart was indeed moved, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

She had always been pampered, adored by everyone from childhood on, never having suffered a bit.

Just during high school, she’d received no fewer than a hundred love letters.

Yet she refused everyone for the sake of the man before her.

Even after entering university,

At Finance Academy and other colleges, there were many male classmates and seniors pursuing her.

But she turned them all down for the sake of him!

Bai Weixi thought a lot, recalling the story "from the previous life" Li Yuan told.

Her gaze transformed from confusion to resolute determination.

"Brother, I don’t know why or what happened after entering college in the past that made me hurt you so deeply..."

"But in this life, no matter what happens, no matter who opposes, I will never willingly leave you."

"Unless, unless, one day you truly don’t want me anymore!"

"Only then I’ll leave silently."

"Brother, I love you so very much. But I also truly lack a sense of security."

"Afraid that all of this, as you say, is just a dream, with no knowing when this dream will break and wake..."

Bai Weixi gazed at Li Yuan’s face, her clear and beautiful eyes filled with deep emotion and glistening faint tears.

She gently unbuttoned his shirt, exhaustedly flipping Li Yuan’s heavy body, helping him remove his coat and pants.

"Silly brother, why are you so heavy!"
