Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

After Zhong Tingyue spoke with a chuckle, Xia Zhijin and Bai Weixi both turned their gazes to Li Yuan, waiting for her response.

Li Yuan replied earnestly, her expression unchanging, "Songwriting requires inspiration, and the right moment hasn’t come yet. When it does, I’ll naturally write songs for you."

Thinking about the song Li Yuan had sung for her at her birthday party, Bai Weixi asked, "So, this ’right moment’ is something like our birthdays?"

Li Yuan nodded. "Pretty much!"

The thought of another girl from a different school suddenly popped into Zhong Tingyue’s head. Her eyes sparkling mischievously, she stared at Li Yuan and continued to tease, "Senior, what about those signature pieces of yours?"

"Signature pieces?" Li Yuan repeated in surprise.

Sensing Zhong Tingyue’s teasing gaze, Li Yuan immediately grasped what she was referring to. There was no need to hide such things from the three extremely smart girlfriends in front of her. By now, they already knew she had another girlfriend from a different school. The two had even sung a heartfelt duet together at Ji University’s welcome party...

Thinking of Little Fish, who had vanished without a trace—the quirky, spirited girl who only had eyes for her—it was as if she had completely disappeared from Li Yuan’s world. Even when she asked Little Fish’s roommates at Ji University, they had no idea of her whereabouts, and all contact had been completely lost...

With a sigh and a look of loss, Li Yuan’s voice was somewhat low as she spoke. "Yeah, I wrote a few songs for her: ’Love Confession Balloon,’ ’Natural Beauty,’ ’Just Met You,’ and ’Anhe Bridge.’ Four songs in total."

Upon hearing that Li Yuan had written a total of four songs for the girl from Ji University, three pairs of beautiful eyes instantly turned to her, each filled with a complex and inexplicable expression...

Li Yuan smiled, her tone filled with regret as she calmly explained, "She studies music..."

While Li Yuan and her girlfriends discussed preparations for the "Milk Tea Girl" awards ceremony, the event tickets sold out in a single minute. In response, a large number of Li Yuan’s fans flooded the Zhihu website, the official Tea Color Moonlight website, QQ groups, Weibo, Tieba, and other online channels to express their discontent and search for ways to buy tickets.

[All 2,000 of God Xia Hua’s concert tickets were gone in a minute! I used three phones and still didn’t get one. I really want to know, who got all the tickets? If you have a ticket to this concert, speak up! I’ll buy it at a high price...]

[+1 to the above. Where did all the tickets go? They can’t all have been bought by scalpers, right? I had five people helping me, and none of us got one...]

[Could the scalpers have bought all the tickets? That shouldn’t be possible, right? God Xia Hua has never held a concert before, so scalpers wouldn’t target her, would they? Aren’t they afraid of being stuck with tickets they can’t sell and taking a loss?]

[Who knows? Right now, I just want to know who has tickets. I only managed to get one, but I’m supposed to go with my girlfriend. I can’t just go by myself and leave her behind...]

[To the person above, since you only have one ticket, I suggest you sell it to me. That way you and your girlfriend can be together again...]

[Piss off! I could hear your scheming all the way from Hangcheng, so don’t even think about it. If I dared to sell this ticket, my girlfriend would dare to break up with me. It took me three years to win her over, and you want me to throw that away?]

[Actually, there’s another way. Each of the 100 award-winning ’Milk Tea Girls’ can bring two guests. You could totally buy their companion spots, and they’re all for seats near the front...]

[That’s a clever idea, but would these gorgeous ’Milk Tea Girls’ really be willing to sell their companion tickets? I feel like that’s pretty unlikely.]

[You never know until you try! What if it works? Besides, these ’Milk Tea Girls’ were chosen from a nationwide search; their looks and figures are top-notch. If you really can buy a companion ticket from one of them, you might even find yourself a sweet romance...]

[Right, right! I’ve been struggling to find a girlfriend, isn’t this the perfect chance? Hehe, dear ’Milk Tea Girls,’ your Prince Charming is here to find you...]

On January 4th, Li Yuan returned to school with a stack of invitations. Some of them she needed to deliver personally.

In the administrative building of Daxia University, Li Yuan carried a black plastic bag containing a box of tea, a carton of cigarettes, and two bottles of Maotai to the office of Ma Tengfei, the Executive Vice Principal.

Ma Tengfei, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, smiled teasingly when he saw Li Yuan arrive. "Well, well, if it isn’t our great entrepreneur."

Li Yuan casually placed the black plastic bag down beside the table and made herself at home on the sofa. "Principal Ma, please stop teasing me," she laughed. "I’m just dabbling a little. I’m hardly a great entrepreneur."

Ma Tengfei shook the newspaper in his hand, his gaze full of admiration and praise. "Little Li, what you’re doing is far from just dabbling. Look at this Modu Finance newspaper—they’ve dedicated a full page to reporting on your achievements.

"The Zhihu website has been rated one of the ten most influential websites in the country. Now, Tea Color Moonlight is also developing rapidly, becoming a benchmark for the milk tea and beverage industry in Modu and even nationwide...

"If you call all that ’dabbling,’ then there are very few entrepreneurs in this country who aren’t just dabbling."
