Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 255 - 132 Little Fish’s Video Check, Li Yuan Through His Roommate’s Eyes_3
Liu Jia chuckled. "Yuan, teach us a few of your ultimate tricks. How do you really pick up girls?"
Li Yuan curled his lip, thinking about how Liu Jia had supposedly won over Wang Jierong a few days ago. The thought was a bit disgusting.
"Give me a break. You snagged Student Wang in a single day. You still need my advice?"
An embarrassed expression crossed Liu Jia’s face, while Wu Hao, looking amused, explained the situation to Li Yuan. "Haha, Yuan, let me tell you a secret. That day, Liu Jia didn’t even manage to find a trace of Wang Jierong, let alone get a kiss from her. The guy was so humiliated he didn’t dare come back. He ran off to an internet café and gamed for half the day."
Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at the mortified Liu Jia and smiled wryly. "Liu Jia, you’re certainly creative. How did you manage to pull something like that off? I actually thought you’d won over Wang Jierong—you gave me quite a scare. Though with a chest that big, Big Breast Girl is probably a handful, dating her would definitely be exciting."
Liu Jia looked embarrassed. He didn’t actually mind that Wang Jierong had dated before. A relationship with a girl that sexy and well-built would have been great. Unfortunately, he hadn’t even managed to see her. He had secretly messaged her, but she’d given him the cold shoulder, which left him feeling dejected. When he compared himself to Li Yuan, the gap felt even wider.
The goddess you pine for is your roommate’s lapdog.
Despite his sense of inadequacy, Liu Jia genuinely admired Li Yuan. He had money, looks, a great physique, promising prospects, and a rising reputation. If he were a woman, he would chase after Li Yuan too. If you succeeded, you’d be set for life, and it would be something to brag about.
"Alright guys, enough yapping. Let’s go grab some late-night food. Barbecue, kebabs, crayfish—take your pick, with all the beer you can drink."
Li Yuan patted Liu Jia on the shoulder, grinning as he asked, "Where are Jing and Tianyu?"
Wu Hao answered, "Jing is probably in the library. He studies there until late every night. As for Tianyu, who knows where he’s gallivanting. I think he’s chasing some beauty from another department, but I have no idea if he’s had any luck."
This gave Li Yuan a jolt, and he frowned, remembering his recent conversation with Zhou Tianyu.
That narcissist... He’s not really trying to woo that girl again, is he? If he knew Bai Weixi was also my girlfriend, he would probably have a complete meltdown.
Li Yuan picked up his phone and called Yi Jing and Zhou Tianyu. As roommates heading out for kebabs and beer, the family had to be complete.
「...」
The next day, the sun rose as usual. Li Yuan hadn’t spontaneously exploded and had luckily survived another night.
"Zhijin, you brought me breakfast again?"
In the computer lab, Li Yuan purposely sat next to Xia Zhijin, savoring the fragrant steamed buns and hot milk while basking in the envious stares of their classmates.
Sniffing the air around Li Yuan, Xia Zhijin wrinkled her cute nose and whispered, "Li Yuan, did you go drinking again last night?"
Li Yuan sniffed his sleeve, puzzled. "I don’t smell any alcohol. Zhijin, how can you tell?"
A small smile touched Xia Zhijin’s lips. "Girls have sensitive noses."
Li Yuan chuckled. "I just went out for a late-night snack with my roommates and had a little beer."
A look of concern crossed her face. "Don’t drink too late. It’s bad for your health."
A warmth spread through Li Yuan’s heart. He took her small hand in his. "Haha, it’s fine. I only drink beer occasionally, so don’t worry. By the way, Zhijin, you don’t have a driver’s license, do you?"
Xia Zhijin shook her head. With her family’s finances, getting a driver’s license was out of the question.
"Do you want to learn to drive?"
Xia Zhijin answered with sweet naivety, "If you tell me to learn, I’ll learn. I’ll listen to whatever you say."
Li Yuan smiled, squeezing her hand as he explained, "You’ll need a car more and more in the future, so getting a license now will make things convenient. The freshman workload isn’t too heavy. In a little while, I’ll take you to check out the nearby driving schools. A C1 license is all you need."
Xia Zhijin nodded obediently. "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
Li Yuan looked at her docile appearance and pictured her sitting bolt upright behind the wheel. I hope she won’t be a menace on the road.
Since he planned on buying cars for Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi, it was only fair to get one for Xia Zhijin too. If she didn’t have a license, she would just have to get one first. Getting a license was still quite easy back then. You could spend some money, find a scalper, and even buy one directly. That method just tended to create more menaces on the road.
"I’ll buy a car in a couple of days, and then I can give you some hands-on lessons."
When she heard him mention "hands-on" lessons, Xia Zhijin couldn’t help but remember the day they first met, when he had used that same excuse to touch her hand... She shyly lowered her head.
Seeing her suddenly become shy, Li Yuan was first confused, but then a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. He grinned and asked, "Heh heh, Zhijin, are you having naughty thoughts?"
"Ah? What naughty thoughts?" Xia Zhijin looked up at Li Yuan, not understanding why he’d say such a thing.
Li Yuan leaned close to her ear. "Because it’s only in a car that two people can do some *proper* driving together."
Xia Zhijin looked completely baffled, having missed the crude joke entirely.
Li Yuan squeezed her hand and whispered the explanation in her ear.
"Zhijin, understand now?"
A deep blush spread from her face all the way down her neck.
「...」
Not far from Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin, at another computer.
