Chapter 487 - 187 Just Want to See You One More Time, Morning Fright
Li Yuan was no stranger to Zhang Ruoxue. Back at Ji University, he had met and dined with Little Fish and a few of her roommates, and they had even exchanged contact information.
Looking at the text message from Zhang Ruoxue, a single sentence was enough to make him unable to sit still.
Little Fish, are you really so hurt that you’re even considering going abroad to heal?
Li Yuan murmured to himself, his gaze falling upon the dark, overcast sky outside the window, a perfect reflection of his current mood. The good mood from having just placated Zhong Tingyue vanished without a trace when he learned Jiang Zhiyu was planning to go abroad.
Staring at his phone, Li Yuan hesitated for a long time before finally replying to Zhang Ruoxue.
"Thank you. I know."
After sending the reply, Li Yuan looked at Jiang Zhiyu’s number, then glanced at Zhong Tingyue sleeping soundly on his lap and let out a deep, silent sigh. In this situation, it was not appropriate to call Jiang Zhiyu. If Zhong Tingyue were to wake up suddenly, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself. All his hard work pacifying her would be wasted if she got angry again.
Li Yuan looked at Jiang Zhiyu’s phone number, his fingers poised over the keyboard as he typed out a message. Then, he quietly waited for her reply.
Time flew by. A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but despite his long wait, there was still no reply from Jiang Zhiyu.
Li Yuan sighed. After a moment’s thought, he made up his mind and gently moved Zhong Tingyue’s head off his lap. Zhong Tingyue seemed truly exhausted; she was sleeping so deeply that she wasn’t disturbed.
Li Yuan hurriedly dressed. He was about to open the door to leave when he suddenly heard an unusual sound coming from the living room. As a man of the world, he instantly recognized it. He had only ever seen scenes like that on porn sites and never expected to actually hear it in real life.
Li Yuan’s expression was one of sheer astonishment. He froze, listening to the sounds from the living room, finding it utterly unbelievable. Besides him, the only people in the house were Gu Lanxin and her daughter, Zhong Tingyue. It went without saying that the person in the living room could only be his cheap mother-in-law, the one who had just given him such divine assistance.
Li Yuan stood behind the door and listened for a short while. When he realized Gu Lanxin had no intention of stopping, his cheeks flushed with a rare blush, and he quickly retreated to the bedroom balcony. From this distance, the unusual sounds made by his cheap mother-in-law in the living room became barely audible, finally fading away.
"Sigh, I can’t even step out to make a call to Little Fish!" Li Yuan muttered. He had no idea when things in the living room would wrap up, making it impossible for him to leave.
Perhaps Gu Lanxin never expected that Li Yuan, after drinking so much and playing poker, wouldn’t go to sleep but would instead think of going out. Then again, she had also drunk a lot and was feeling tipsy.
He glanced at the dim light in the bedroom and drew the curtains. He then went out onto the balcony, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Zhiyu’s number.
「Ji University, Girls’ Dormitory.」
After receiving Li Yuan’s reply, Zhang Ruoxue pursed her lips and whispered to Xie Ping, "Li Yuan says he knows. Let’s wait and see what he does. If he truly cares about Zhiyu, he should call her immediately. Even better, he should come straight here."
Xie Ping nodded in agreement. "A man who remains indifferent when his girlfriend is preparing to go abroad can only mean one thing: he doesn’t love her."
If that were truly the case, they could only feel sorry for Jiang Zhiyu.
"I hope Li Yuan can be decisive, though," Xie Ping continued. "Daxia University isn’t far from Ji University, and it’s not even nine o’clock yet. There’s plenty of time."
Zhang Ruoxue scoffed. "For all we know, Li Yuan might be in bed with one of his other girlfriends right now."
"That damned scumbag. Juggling four girlfriends at once... isn’t he afraid of working himself to death?"
Xie Ping smirked, picturing Li Yuan in her mind. He is tall and well-built, very stylish... a real hunk. Perhaps that’s his special talent; how else could he have four girlfriends?
Looking at Jiang Zhiyu in the room, a curious thought suddenly struck Zhang Ruoxue. She leaned close to Xie Ping’s ear and whispered, "Pingping, do you think Zhiyu and Li Yuan have... you know?"
Xie Ping paused, asking in confusion, "Have what?"
Zhang Ruoxue’s cheeks reddened as she rolled her eyes at Xie Ping. "Pingping, don’t play dumb. I’m talking about *that*. The embarrassing stuff."
Xie Ping finally understood and puffed out a laugh. "I’m not sure," she said, her cheeks warming. "Probably not? I heard a girl’s body changes after doing ’that,’ but Zhiyu doesn’t look any different to me."
Zhang Ruoxue bit her lip, a grin playing at the corners of her mouth. "Pingping, spill. How do you know that?"
Xie Ping’s face turned red, and she stammered, "I just read it online. It could be total nonsense, not necessarily true."
Zhang Ruoxue nodded and murmured softly, "A girl’s first time is very precious. If Zhiyu has already given it to Li Yuan, she’ll probably never be able to get over him. Sigh, Zhiyu just fell for the wrong guy. It’s bound to leave a psychological scar. Scumbags like him really deserve to be diced into a thousand pieces."
