Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

However, this pair of best friends now shared the same boyfriend.

Li Yuan propped his chin on his hand and shot a playful smile at the two stunning, nation-toppling beauties before him. "Hey," he said, "I’ve been feeling a bit hot-headed lately. I need to cool down, badly!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s suggestive words, a blush crept across Bai Weixi’s fair cheeks. She winked at Zhong Tingyue and giggled. "Tingyue, since Li Yuan is feeling so hot-headed, should we help him cool down?"

"Of course!" Zhong Tingyue chimed in with a smile, nodding. She stared at Li Yuan with a coquettish charm, stepping forward to hug his arm. "Li Yuan," she teased, "stop looking at the computer. What position do you want to try? Weixi and I are here to satisfy you..."

Listening to their ravenous words and watching their devouring gazes, Li Yuan felt a shiver run down his spine as adrenaline surged through him. He hadn’t expected Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi’s jealousy to be so intense.

I only glanced at a few beauties! These ’Milk Tea Girls’ are my cash cows. The higher their quality and influence, the greater the economic benefits...

However, Li Yuan wasn’t the type to sit back and wait. He preferred to take the reins and charge straight ahead. This was especially true when facing Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue. One was his unattainable first love, and the other was the perfect goddess in his heart. The thought of taking on both at once was incredibly thrilling and challenging.

Li Yuan touched his chin, looking at the two stunning beauties, and said with a grin, "Bai, Little Moon, it’s not that I look down on you two. It’s just that your combat power is basically nonexistent."

He crooked a finger at them provocatively. "You two can come at me together. What do I, Mr. Li, have to fear?"

"Bring it on! Let’s go for three hundred rounds and test just how hard and sharp my spear is!"

Furious at being so underestimated, Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi exchanged a glance and pounced on Li Yuan from both sides in perfect unison.

"Li Yuan, tonight, we’ll show you just how formidable we sisters can be!"

"Li Yuan, no surrendering your weapon tonight! Whoever gives up is a puppy!"

Far from being intimidated by their words, Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, his heart filled with anticipation. Could it be? Am I really going to experience double the pleasure tonight?

"Heh, I’m just afraid the two of you can’t handle me," he chuckled. "You both know exactly what I’m capable of. Ah, it’s so lonely at the top!"

「The next day.」

Daxia University, Comprehensive Administration Building, Entrepreneurship Office.

Qi Siyu pouted as she browsed the "Milk Tea Girl" selection column on the Zhihu website, looking at picture after picture of the beautiful contestants.

Sigh, I have a feeling he organized this event just to find more beautiful women, like an ancient emperor holding a nationwide pageant... How can I possibly hold on to the heart of such a fickle man? she muttered to herself, feeling utterly helpless.

After what happened that night, Li Yuan had never visited her apartment complex again. Over the past half-month, they had barely seen each other. The few times they did meet were secretly in Li Yuan’s car, as he seemed to be intentionally avoiding Liang Jingjing.

Maybe I really did make a mistake that night. I shouldn’t have agreed to Jingjing’s ridiculous suggestion. But... he seemed so excited and thrilled, didn’t he?

Qi Siyu couldn’t understand Li Yuan’s thinking and felt a pang of regret. It had been so difficult to finally get together with him, but that incident had suddenly created a rift between them.

No, I have to find a way to win him back. If this goes on, and more and more beautiful women appear by his side, will he even remember me? Qi Siyu racked her brain, trying to figure out how to reclaim Li Yuan’s affection.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Beijing—Huaxia’s largest and most important city—a girl was in her double dorm room at Imperial Capital Normal University.

Her face was flawless, with two shallow dimples accenting her cheeks. Her skin was as white as snow, and her clear eyes seemed capable of piercing one’s soul. Soft, long hair was draped casually over her shoulders, floating gently in the air and tenderly framing her graceful figure.

This young woman, who had the looks of a campus belle, was browsing a trending post on the Zhihu website.

*Nineteen-Year-Old Prodigy Li Yuan, Creator of a Business Legend...*

The post detailed Li Yuan’s achievements since starting university. It covered his writing on Yuandian Web, the creation of the Zhihu website, the establishment of the Tea Color Moonlight milk tea brand, and the music he composed with his girlfriends. Even his activities in the stock market were briefly mentioned.

"Zhihu website, milk tea shop, stocks, music, writing... Xia Hua, you’ve really given me so many surprises," she murmured. "Even after I left, you’re still so brilliant and dazzling."

A deep yearning shimmered in Jiang Zhiyu’s eyes as she looked at the photos of herself and Li Yuan in her QQ Space. Before she knew it, her beautiful, star-like eyes had welled up with crystalline tears that slowly traced paths down her cheeks.
