Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 478 - 184 Mother-in-law "Eavesdropping," "Sour Grape" Zhong Tingyue_4

"I know I only occupy a small part of your heart. I’m not your one and only, and I don’t expect your world to revolve around just me.

"But Li Yuan, I really don’t want to be disappointed again. Can you promise me?"

Li Yuan naturally understood what Zhong Tingyue was implying. She could accept his current girlfriends, but she couldn’t tolerate any more.

Love, once continuously divided, doesn’t deserve to be called love. It can only be called physical desire.

Humans are such complex creatures, wanting both emotional connection and material things. When you have no money, you talk about material needs; when you have money, you talk about feelings.

Even he was no exception; he hoped his girlfriends would genuinely like him for the person he was, not for his money...

Li Yuan reached out and ruffled her hair, nodding earnestly.

"Little Moon, I promise you!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s promise, a smile brightened Zhong Tingyue’s eyes, and her gaze softened.

"Senior, I don’t want to make our relationship public just yet."

Li Yuan was startled and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at him and huffed, her tone sour. "Why do you think?"

Li Yuan came to his senses, the reason already forming in his mind. "Little Moon, it’s okay. I’ll talk to her. I won’t let you be treated unfairly."

Zhong Tingyue bit her lip, a sour feeling welling in her heart. Bai Weixi and Li Yuan were high school classmates and childhood sweethearts. All their roommates knew this. She herself had announced her withdrawal in the dorm, right in front of Bai Weixi and the other roommates. If she got back together with Li Yuan now, she could already imagine the strange looks from her other roommates and classmates.

And if Bai Weixi confronts me, how am I supposed to answer?

The fact that Li Yuan was willing to give her this assurance was already a great comfort. She was a proud girl, but she still hadn’t figured out how to properly face this relationship...

Staring at Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Li Yuan, let’s wait a bit longer. Weixi is in a tough spot too, and I don’t want to cause any friction with her in the dorm. I don’t like that."

Li Yuan desperately wanted to say that in his heart, she was more important than Bai Weixi, but he swallowed the words.

Sometimes, actions speak louder than sweet talk. Besides, with a girl as smart as Zhong Tingyue, she probably wouldn’t believe it anyway.

An idea suddenly struck Li Yuan.

"Little Moon, how about you change dorms? You two aren’t in the same class, anyway."

Although Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi were both in the Finance Academy, they were not in the same major. One was in Finance, and the other was in Business Management. Being assigned to the same dorm was a pure coincidence.

Zhong Tingyue stared at Li Yuan with a quiet, probing gaze until he started to feel a little awkward.

Li Yuan rubbed his nose and said sheepishly, "Er, or how about I ask her to change dorms? She’ll definitely agree."

Zhong Tingyue shook her head. "Let’s talk about it later. Shanshan and Tingrou are both really nice."

Seeing that Zhong Tingyue hadn’t explicitly refused, Li Yuan secretly made up his mind to find a way to arrange a dorm change for her.

Switching dorms in college is simple. All I have to do is find the instructor, get the other students to agree to a swap, and that’s it. At most, it’ll just cost a bit of money for some gifts. Any problem that can be solved with money is no problem at all.

Zhong Tingyue yawned, looked at Li Yuan, and asked, "Senior, are you leaving tonight?"

Li Yuan asked in confusion, "Where else would I go?"

Zhong Tingyue huffed. "To go be with your other girlfriends, of course. I wouldn’t dare monopolize you all to myself."

Li Yuan was speechless. Her words are practically overflowing with jealousy. Tonight, she’s completely lost her usual aloof Goddess vibe and is turning into a real sour grape...

Li Yuan wrapped her in his arms. "Little Moon, I’m not going anywhere tonight. I’m staying here with you."

Zhong Tingyue’s lips curled into a faint smile as she hugged Li Yuan’s arm. "Mhm, then I want to fall asleep holding you."
