Chapter 418 174: Bai Weixi's Defense Broken, PUA Master Li Yuan
Li Yuan was uncertain what choice Bai Weixi would make after she learned the truth.
In her previous life, Bai Weixi, who had perfected the art of being a green-tea schemer, would probably have used this as leverage to demand other compensation. However, she would never have left a man of limitless potential, a true diamond in the rough like him.
But in this life, Bai Weixi hadn't completely mastered her skills, so he couldn't be sure how she would react.
However, he didn't really care.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and casually sent a message. "Bai, I'm back at school. Come out in a bit, I have something to tell you."
He clicked send and checked the time. It was only 9:10 PM, still early, as a university student's nightlife was just beginning.
After waiting two minutes without a reply from Bai Weixi, Li Yuan simply tossed his phone aside, took off his blazer, and went to take a shower.
The blazer, though stylish, was certainly inconvenient. On a university campus, at an age where passions ran high and sparks could easily fly, it sometimes felt like a restraint. Just like that evening with Xia Zhijin...
...
「Mei Yuan, Building A—Room 1314, Women's Dormitory」
Bai Weixi was morosely listening over and over to the three songs that Li Yuan had written for Jiang Zhiyu.
Sorrow, grievance, and heartache filled her entire being.
Li Yuan had pursued her for three years in high school, and they had been officially together since starting university. Yet, he had never written a single song for her.
And now, not only had he written three songs for that girl from another school, but he had also written one for her own roommate, Zhong Tingyue.
She, on the other hand, had nothing.
Faced with this comparison, the immense disappointment made her sob uncontrollably.
If that were all, she might have let it go. But Li Yuan seemed to value the girl from the computer science department more than her; he had gone to find her first after returning to school.
Then what am I to him?
"You jerk, Li Yuan! You meanie! I'm really angry this time. I never want to speak to you again. Go be with your other girlfriends."
Listening to the video of Li Yuan singing "Just Met You" at his book signing event earlier that day, Bai Weixi's defenses completely crumbled.
First, there was "Love Confession Balloon," then "Natural Beauty," followed by "Just Met You." Even her own roommate, Zhong Tingyue, got "Nanshan South." And her…
So, am I the least important one?
If so, what's the point of shamelessly clinging to him?
With tears blurring her vision, Bai Weixi turned to Wang Lisha beside her, sobbingly confessing, "Shasha, I don't want to deal with him anymore. I want to give up."
When Wang Lisha heard that Bai Weixi wanted to give up just like Zhong Tingyue, she panicked and quickly tried to persuade her.
"Weixi, calm down first. Don't rush into a decision."
"You should ask Li Yuan what he really wants and why he's treating you this way. Find out what his intentions are. If he insists on getting entangled with other girls, then we'll all support you in cutting ties with him once and for all."
Deng Meiqi also chimed in, "Shasha has a point. Besides, Weixi, didn't you say your parents have already met Li Scumbag? They just left. If you two break up now, will they be able to accept it?"
"Give Li Scumbag one more chance. If he's willing to change his ways, then you can stay together. If he's unrepentant, then make a clean break and start a new life."
Bai Weixi cried her heart out, tears falling one by one like raindrops splashing on her keyboard, looking as heartbroken as a girl who had just been dumped.
"But I feel like he doesn't love me anymore," she cried. "He still hasn't come to see me."
Wang Lisha and Deng Meiqi were momentarily speechless, inwardly blaming Li Yuan for being so inconsiderate.
Fine, you're a scumbag, but can't you at least be fair? The girl you pursued for three years means less to you than one you've only known for a month?
So a childhood sweetheart means less than some girl who just fell into his lap?
Do men change their minds so easily?
If it weren't for Li Yuan's generosity, good looks, and immense talent, they would have urged Bai Weixi to break up with him long ago.
They had seen the posts on the forums. Many people bashed Li Yuan for being scum, but even more were envious and resentful, hating that Li Yuan wasn't being scum *to them*.
As the closest roommates to both Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, they knew what Li Yuan had provided for both of them and couldn't help but feel intense envy, to say nothing of other girls.
A luxury sports car worth millions, designer handbags, a huge house in Modu... He fulfilled every female fantasy of a perfect future.
Especially considering Li Yuan's own outstanding qualities: a top student from a 985 university, an athletic build, a Great Writer of online novels, and an unimaginable talent for music...
The positive buffs were stacked to the max.
...
Lying on her bed and staring blankly into space, Zhong Tingyue wore headphones as she looked at the messages on her phone.
From the first day she met Li Yuan to the message he had just sent, there were texts and QQ messages amounting to over a thousand in total.
She had been reading them earnestly, over and over again, for the past two or three hours.
As she read, a smile would sometimes appear on her lips. At other times, she would silently weep.
Senior, how wonderful it would have been if you had never appeared in my life.
If there was never any hope, there would be no expectations, and certainly none of the despair I feel now.
She recalled the story Li Yuan had told her. It still felt so real, even now—so real that despite knowing he was lying, a part of her still chose to believe.
