Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Yuan. Sometimes, she wanted to dig open his brain just to see what it was made of. How could he write a classic song whenever he felt like it?

"Senior, I really don’t know how your mind works, effortlessly writing so many popular classics. Many singers might not write as many songs in their entire lives as you do in a single month."

"You really are incredible," Bai Weixi murmured, looking at Li Yuan’s profile. She was beginning to believe what he’d said about his past life.

The Li Yuan from high school and the Li Yuan from university were two completely different people. In high school, you could say his grades were good, his looks were good, and his physique was good. But in university, "good" was no longer enough to describe him. Words like "a rising sun," "dazzlingly brilliant," and "unrivaled" were far more fitting...

...

As the novel musical dance performance continued on stage, the fans in the audience, having familiarized themselves with the song, enthusiastically sang along...

Where are you now, I think of you every day...

Missing the air around you, missing your innocent eyes...

...

When the song ended, the fans still felt it wasn’t enough. The two hosts had already returned to the stage.

"Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, wasn’t that musical dance number, ’Sir, You Can’t Do That,’ just wonderful?"

A unified scream of "Wonderful!" erupted from the audience.

The female host laughed and added, "If you all liked it, please come visit our Tea Color Moonlight milk tea shops often! In every one of our stores, we provide the most comfortable environment and the highest quality service..."

"I’m sure you’re all eagerly awaiting the main event of tonight’s awards ceremony."

"Now, let’s welcome the general manager of Tea Color Moonlight, President Su, to the stage to announce the winners of our ’Milk Tea Girl’ selection contest!"

Watching Su Yunting take the stage to announce the list, Li Yuan teased Zhong Tingyue beside him, "Little Moon, if you were willing to go up there, you’d definitely provoke howls from every wolf in the audience..."

Originally, he had intended for Zhong Tingyue to announce the winners of the "Milk Tea Girl" contest. On paper, he was the boss, but in reality, his "personal secretary" Zhong Tingyue handled most of the concrete arrangements and implementation. Most of what he did involved just moving his lips and thinking up good ideas. He was a "man of action" who only used his words, truly living the dream life of "having the secretary do the work and, when there’s no work, doing the secretary."

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at Li Yuan haughtily and gave him an enigmatic smile.

The main reason she hadn’t agreed to announce the winners herself was her concern that Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin would get jealous, causing turmoil in Li Yuan’s "harem." Besides, she wasn’t the type to seek the spotlight in such situations. If nothing unexpected happened, tonight’s awards ceremony would circulate widely online for some time. If she appeared on camera and became famous, her biological father in Sucheng would probably rush over to confront her. In that case, the peaceful and interesting life she had now would be shattered, and all hell would break loose. It would also bring new trouble for Li Yuan. That wasn’t an outcome she wanted to see.

...

After Su Yunting, representing the Tea Color Moonlight company, finished announcing the list of winners for the "Milk Tea Girl" contest, it was time for the eagerly anticipated awards presentation.

"To our audience here tonight and everyone watching at home, we’ve now reached the most exciting part of the evening—the live awards presentation!"

"Next, let’s give a warm welcome to the contestants who placed 91st to 100th in the national ’Milk Tea Girl’ selection contest to come receive their awards!"

As the host finished speaking, the beautifully dressed women in the "Milk Tea Girl" section gracefully rose from their seats. They ascended the stage amidst a roar of screams and gasps from the entire venue.

Wang Shuai sat in the second row, behind Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue, and Bai Weixi. His eyes were practically glued to the ten Milk Tea Girls with stunning looks and figures as they took the stage.

"Damn, Dazhi, are these Milk Tea Girls really this high-quality? A few of them would be considered campus beauties at our school, yet they only ranked in the bottom ten?"

Beside him, Xu Zhi chuckled and teased, "Shuai, are you dense? This ’Milk Tea Girl’ contest was a nationwide search. Our university, like yours, is a tech school. How many beauties do you expect us to have?"

Before Xu Zhi could finish, he felt a small hand pinch his waist—hard. He turned to see Wang Yuchen, who had appeared at some point, glaring at him murderously.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Yuchen, why are you pinching me?"

Wang Yuchen sneered, "Feeling bold now, are we, Xu Dazhi? Daring to call me ugly in such a roundabout way? If you like beautiful women so much, go ask for their contact information! See if they even give you the time of day. You should look in a mirror—a toad fantasizing about eating swan meat..."

Seeing Wang Yuchen seething with jealousy, Xu Zhi realized his mistake and quickly wrapped his arms around her to apologize. "Yuchen, in my heart, you’re the most beautiful. No other woman can compare, not even in the slightest. Having you is more than enough for me. Why would I ever think about anyone else?"

Wang Yuchen shot him a glare and snorted haughtily. "Xu Dazhi, plenty of guys are trying to woo me. If you don’t keep a close watch, I might just get snatched away."

Xu Zhi immediately put on a fawning grin and apologized, "You’re right, you’re right. I was wrong, alright?"

Nearby, Wang Shuai pursed his lips, completely speechless. This high school buddy of his was completely under Wang Yuchen’s thumb. Absolutely spineless. In his opinion, any one of the Milk Tea Girls on that stage could easily outshine her.

Wang Shuai watched the bevy of beauties on stage, an itch growing in his heart. Should I ask Yuan for a few of their numbers? He must have their information. If I take the initiative, maybe love will finally find me...

What Wang Shuai didn’t know was that as he stared, captivated, at the women on stage, a girl named Zhou Lei, sitting just a few seats away, had been watching his every expression.

Seeing his look of fascination, she sighed with disappointment. Forget it. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part!
