Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

The mobile game market is vast, with an incredibly wide audience. After all, people who sit in front of a computer to play games every day only make up a small fraction of the populace.

With Honor of Kings officially launched and achieving great success, Li Yuan finally relaxed and began to consider how to spend the winter vacation and the New Year.

Four days had passed since the university students in Modu went on vacation. The winter vacation at Daxia University ran from January 16 to February 21, extending past the Lantern Festival.

If this had been his previous life, he would have already headed back to his hometown just like most students. But now, in order to launch Honor of Kings before the Spring Festival, he naturally wouldn’t return so early.

Even his three girlfriends, Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, and Zhong Tingyue, and his parents, Li Heng and Xia Qin, hadn’t gone back either. There was no need to rush home for the New Year. When they would go back was entirely up to Li Yuan.

Thinking about how to spend the New Year, Li Yuan felt conflicted and torn. It’s impossible to accompany all three of my girlfriends. A choice has to be made. My parents and younger sister will definitely go back home for the New Year; that’s non-negotiable. We have so many relatives there—grandparents on both sides, uncles, aunts... I have no right to deny them their wish to go home for the festivities.

As Li Yuan thought about it, a plan began to form. He would take care of his girlfriends as much as possible and not let them be sad.

I’ll ask for their thoughts first, and then decide. Also, the company’s affairs need to be properly arranged. Both the Tea Color Moonlight tea shop and the Honor of Kings game are extremely important at this stage. They must be given high priority, and I might even need to be there to oversee things personally.

Today was the second day since Honor of Kings had launched, so it was still a crucial time. He definitely needed to be at the company to oversee things. At such a critical moment, he couldn’t just be a hands-off boss.

...

Since the university students were on vacation, those who intended to leave had already done so. Those who hadn’t planned on departing so soon were now preparing to leave before the Spring Festival.

In Xia Zhijin’s bedroom on the second floor of the villa, she was on the phone with her cousin, Chu Yanyan.

"Zhijin, what did Li Yuan say? Is he going to take you back to Shancheng?"

Xia Zhijin shook her head and whispered, "He’s been busy these past few days. I haven’t asked him yet."

Recently, in preparation for the internal beta test and official launch of Honor of Kings, Li Yuan had barely studied for his first-semester final exams. He had relied purely on his connections to get the test papers in advance. With his current fame at Daxia University and his relationship with the executive vice-chancellor, getting the test papers was easy. Professors readily handed them over after being swayed by his gifts of Maotai and expensive cigarettes. In any case, Li Yuan’s grades weren’t important to Daxia University; what mattered was that he was a student there.

Thanks to Li Yuan’s presence, Daxia University’s prominence in the first half of the year had far surpassed that of the other top universities in Modu, garnering widespread attention. It was predictable that the cutoff score for Daxia University in this year’s national college entrance examination would rise significantly.

Chu Yanyan huffed, naturally aware that Li Yuan would be incredibly busy since his company’s game, Honor of Kings, had just launched.

"He might be busy, but we still have to celebrate the New Year, right? Grandma and Zhining have already called several times to rush us, asking when we’re coming back!"

At the thought of her grandmother and younger brother, the longing in Xia Zhijin’s heart burst forth like an opened floodgate. It had been over three months since she was last home.

Xia Zhijin whispered back, "Yanyan, I’ll ask Li Yuan later. If you’re anxious, you can go back first."

Chu Yanyan grumbled, "I don’t have much to do if I go back early. But if that jerk Li Yuan doesn’t take you home, I won’t feel at ease with you traveling alone."

The two of them had come to university together, so it was only natural they should return home together.

This silly girl has already devoted her entire heart to Li Yuan, following his every word. No matter what I say, it just goes in one ear and out the other; she’s completely unmoved...

"Well, call me after you’ve asked him. Whether he goes back with you or not, he needs to give you a clear answer. You shouldn’t just be waiting here foolishly."

"Grandma and Ning are waiting for you in Shancheng."

Xia Zhijin hummed softly in acknowledgment. "Mm, I know."

...

In the adjacent bedroom, Bai Weixi also hung up her parents’ call, feeling somewhat helpless. As their precious daughter, she had been urged to return home the moment the university vacation started. Her parents had even offered to drive to Modu to fetch her, but she had managed to refuse them with various excuses.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that her parents were beginning to suspect something about her relationship with Li Yuan, although they hadn’t said anything clearly over the phone. She didn’t know how to explain their relationship to them, or if they would even accept it. Her parents were both teachers; while not prominent, they were part of the system and very concerned about their reputation.

Sigh, I’ll just take it one step at a time. Regardless, I am not leaving him.

Bai Weixi mused to herself, her gaze firming.

Since I already gave up on him in my previous life, I will stick with him to the very end in this one. Unless, one day, he no longer wants me. Then I’ll leave of my own accord...
