Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 420 174: Bai Weixi's Defense Broken, PUA Master Li Yuan_3

They could already predict that if Bai Weixi chose to give up, finding another boyfriend as outstanding as him would be impossible. She would regret it a thousand percent in the future.

Naturally, their reluctance to see Bai Weixi and Li Yuan break up was tinged with their own selfish motives.

Wang Lisha had a sudden inspiration. "Weixi, do you want us to go down with you? We can give you some moral support," she offered, eagerly awaiting the response.

Neither of them had ever interacted with Li Yuan. They had only seen his silhouette and photos, so they were incredibly curious about the campus celebrity.

Deng Meiqi wore the same expectant look.

Bai Weixi was tempted, but after a moment's thought, she declined. "Thanks, but I'll go see him myself. I'll be fine."

"Alright, then," Wang Lisha said, her tone tinged with regret.

Zhong Tingyue, listening to music on her headphones, saw Bai Weixi washing up. She overheard parts of their conversation and realized Bai Weixi was probably going to meet Li Yuan, which made her heart ache with a sudden twinge of pain. Ultimately, she just sighed to herself without saying a word.

「The boys' dormitory.」

Li Yuan finished washing up, changed into a Nike sweatsuit, and then glanced at his phone. The reply had come in ten minutes ago. He'd spent about ten minutes in the shower, which meant Bai Weixi must have responded almost immediately after he sent his message.

Li Yuan picked up his phone, ready to go meet her.

"Yuan, it's so late. Are you still going out?" Liu Jia asked in confusion. He'd seen Li Yuan wash up and figured he was getting ready for bed.

Li Yuan smiled faintly. "I'm going out to meet someone."

Liu Jia's eyes lit up. "Yuan, which girlfriend are you meeting this time? The one from the Finance Academy?"

"Hmm, something like that," Li Yuan replied casually.

Liu Jia chuckled. As Li Yuan's roommate, he could guess that his friend going out this late meant there was a story brewing. "Well, good luck, Yuan. Hope you sweep her off her feet."

Li Yuan smiled slightly. "I'm off!"

「Downstairs, outside the girls' dormitory building.」

Bai Weixi stood at the entrance wearing a sky-blue long dress with a beige hair clip, her black hair cascading over her shoulders. Her graceful figure immediately attracted the attention of every passing boy.

Li Yuan, you're the one who made me angry, and now you're making me wait for you down here.

Her gaze wandered left and right, searching for Li Yuan's figure under the night lights.

She waited for a while, but Li Yuan still hadn't shown up. Growing impatient, Bai Weixi took out her phone and started typing a message. She hesitated for a long time before deleting it.

As Bai Weixi wrestled with her thoughts, a familiar voice sounded beside her.

"Bai."

That was his special nickname for her. In all of Daxia University, only Li Yuan called her that.

Bai Weixi looked up. Standing right before her was the tall figure she had been missing and fretting over, the same one who had made her cry all night.

At the sight of Li Yuan, the overwhelming sense of grievance in her heart could no longer be contained.

In an instant, tears streamed down her face. They splashed onto the tiles at the dormitory entrance, making a soft pattering sound in the quiet night.

Seeing Bai Weixi's tears, Li Yuan sighed inwardly. He walked over to her and patted her shoulder.

"Bai, I'm sorry!"

The moment the words left Li Yuan's mouth, Bai Weixi could no longer hold back. She raised her tear-streaked face and screamed at him.

"Stupid Li Yuan, if you don't love me anymore, why are you still with me?"

"Is it just to get back at me for rejecting you in high school?"

"I gave you my everything, so why did you deceive me?"

"Li Yuan, what did I do wrong for you to treat me this way?"

Hearing Bai Weixi's hysterical cries, Li Yuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Actually, what she said isn't wrong. Do I still have feelings for her after my rebirth? Of course, I do. After all, the seven years of unrequited love from my past life had left me with so much regret. But more than that, it was about revenge. After taking her virginity, my obsession faded. I've let it go. We're even now; I don't owe her anything, and she doesn't owe me.

Li Yuan waited for her hysterical sobs to subside before speaking slowly.

"Bai, I have a story to tell—our story. Do you want to hear it?"

Bai Weixi stared at Li Yuan, her swollen, tear-filled eyes brimming with endless grievance and resentment.

"Speak!"

Li Yuan glanced around. They were right at the entrance to the girls' dormitory, and Bai Weixi's loud crying had attracted a crowd. Some people were already secretly taking photos and watching. He really didn't want any more fame. It brought him no benefits, only a mountain of trouble.

"Let's go somewhere else. I'll tell you everything there."

"Okay." Bai Weixi nodded lightly. She was also curious to hear what kind of explanation Li Yuan would give her.

Li Yuan extended his hand, holding it out to her.

With red eyes, Bai Weixi looked deeply at Li Yuan. She hesitated briefly but still reached out, and he firmly grasped her hand.

Li Yuan then led Bai Weixi by the hand, and they walked along the verdant path behind the girls' dormitory.

The dim streetlights stretched their shadows out long behind them.

"Bai, do you remember when we first met?"

Bai Weixi nodded as a memory from three years prior surfaced in her mind.

Back then, they were both just starting their first year of high school, incredibly naive and inexperienced, and they didn't know each other at all.
