Chapter 251: Chapter 131: Investing in a Milk Tea Shop, Li Yuan’s Differentiated Treatment (Two in One, Subscription Requested, Monthly Ticket Requested)_4

Most romantic relationships begin with mutual attraction. If someone doesn’t meet your aesthetic standards, no amount of admiration or wealth can spark true love. Even if such cases exist, they are merely rare exceptions.

"Senior, take me back to school," she said.

Li Yuan was hesitant, trying one last time. "Little Moon, are you sure you don’t want to stay up all night talking with me?"

"Hmph, not a chance. I’d rather make you long for it."

"Then let me satisfy my cravings a little right now."

"MMPH... MMPH... you ambushed me again..."

「At the entrance to the Mei Yuan girls’ dormitory.」

Li Yuan reluctantly watched Zhong Tingyue head back inside, a faint smile playing on his lips. After the day’s events, his relationship with Little Moon had finally taken a significant step forward: they had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend.

If it weren’t for the potential battleground ready to erupt at any moment, this perfect Goddess, Zhong Tingyue, would surely belong to him alone. But what if it really did erupt? Recalling the personalities of Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin, and the things they had said, Li Yuan had a foreboding feeling. He feared he might not be able to keep any of them. Damn it, am I really going to end up all alone again?

The moment Zhong Tingyue returned, she was ambushed with teasing questions from Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou.

"Well, well, Tingyue, we all thought you were staying out all night and not coming back. What happened? Your boyfriend didn’t try hard enough to keep you?"

"You left at noon, and now it’s ten o’clock at night. Tee-hee, more than ten hours is a long time, you know."

"If Weixi hadn’t called, you might not have come back at all, right, Tingyue?"

Zhong Tingyue’s face turned crimson. She honestly hadn’t paid any attention to the time while she was with Li Yuan. If it had gotten any later, the school gates would have been locked, and she might have really had to spend the night out. In that case, she wasn’t certain she could have resisted going all the way.

Li Yuan was simply too good at flirting. An inexperienced girl like her could barely put up any resistance. She would have been overwhelmed in an instant, utterly defeated and forced to surrender.

Seeing Zhong Tingyue’s flushed face and shy demeanor, Bai Weixi couldn’t help but ask, "Tingyue, should I not have made that call?"

"Bah! What nonsense are you all talking about?" Zhong Tingyue shot a glare at Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou before turning to Bai Weixi with a sweet smile. "Weixi, I should be thanking you for the reminder. I almost came back too late."

Bai Weixi sighed in relief. "As long as you don’t blame me, Tingyue. I was just worried." She couldn’t help but think of the night she had gone out. At the time, she hadn’t been thinking much, only wanting to find Li Yuan to get a clear answer and put an end to things. Who knew that once they met, especially after she’d had a little to drink, she would completely lose control and let Li Yuan have his way with her?

They had spent three years together in high school, two of which were as deskmates. In all that time, the most Li Yuan had ever done was hold her hand.

Lying on her bed, Wang Lisha suddenly asked, "Weixi, Tingyue, you both have boyfriends now. When are you going to introduce them to us? So many guys at school were chasing you, and you turned them all down. I’m really curious how outstanding the guys you two fell for must be."

Before Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi could reply, Ding Shanshan chimed in enviously, "Tee-hee, Shasha, Tingrou and I have seen Tingyue’s boyfriend! He’s tall, handsome, and stylish. Not only is he Tingyue’s childhood friend, but most importantly, he’s incredibly talented—a true genius. If I said his name, I bet you’d all have heard of him."

Wang Lisha’s curiosity was piqued. "Oh? Really? Is Tingyue’s boyfriend that famous?"

"Of course! He’s one of the young generation’s..." Ding Shanshan began to explain, but Zhong Tingyue cut her off.

"Shanshan, don’t say any more."

Seeing Zhong Tingyue interrupt, Ding Shanshan pouted and said no more. Previously, Zhong Tingyue had told her and Xu Tingrou not to reveal her relationship with Li Yuan, reasoning that it wasn’t official yet. Now that Zhong Tingyue had acknowledged it herself, why was it still a secret? Ding Shanshan didn’t understand.

"Fine, if you say not to tell, I won’t," Ding Shanshan muttered. "But Tingyue, you two have already made it official. Is there really a need to be so secretive?"

Zhong Tingyue simply smiled. Thinking about the 50,000,000 yuan copyright deal Li Yuan had closed with Wangyi Company today, she explained simply, "He just wants to keep a low profile. In a few days, I’ll have him treat you all to a meal."

Ding Shanshan’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Yay! That’s great! We’ll definitely have to make him splurge on us!"

Wang Lisha grinned at Bai Weixi. "Weixi, Tingyue has already agreed. You have to get your boyfriend to treat us roommates to a meal, too. We need to vet him for you."

Bai Weixi glanced at a reply on her phone and readily agreed, "Yep, no problem."

Xu Tingrou looked at the two campus-level beauties, Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi, her voice tinged with both envy and a little regret. "Tingyue, Weixi, both of your boyfriends are your childhood friends, and you all ended up at the same university. It’s truly something to be envious of."

Ding Shanshan muttered to herself, "So, does that mean we should have started dating back in high school?"

Deng Meiqi shook her head and sighed. "Tingyue and Weixi are just really lucky. There were several couples in my high school class who broke up right after graduation, and they couldn’t even remain friends.

"Besides, dating in high school really affects your grades. To get into Daxia University, didn’t we all have to burn the midnight oil and put in a hundred times more effort than everyone else?"
