If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 183 Mother-in-law’s call, goodbye Zhong Tingyue
Li Yuan opened the classroom at the Entrepreneurship Base, and the dust inside rushed towards him. Spider webs were formed in the corners of the room, and there were some cockroaches running around like they were having fun...

Although the classroom environment is very dirty, the classroom is still quite large, about 180 square meters. It can be used as a temporary entrepreneurial base for college students.

"The school is quite generous. It seems that Qi Siyu has contributed a lot to it."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and after observing the classroom, he muttered in his heart:

"We need to find some people and ask them to clean it, connect the Internet cable, buy some water dispensers, office computers, printers and other office equipment. This simple business base can be put into use."

Regarding the use of the entrepreneurial base, Li Yuan has already made plans in his mind, mainly the operation and maintenance part of the 'Zhihu' website, or the management of some posts, collecting and organizing information, etc.

As for the people in the entrepreneurial base?

Since the application is for college student entrepreneurship support, it must be mainly college students from the school. Some core people can be transferred from the company and some part-time staff can be recruited.

Li Yuan was thinking in his mind that the first target was Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Xu Ziqiang and others.

Several of them have agreed that if they want to hang out with him, they should naturally do some part-time work.

He would not take the money for nothing and give it to his roommates.

If you want to get something, you must give something, no matter who the other party is, except your parents and family.

It's okay to treat guests to a meal or borrow money for emergencies, but it's impossible to just give it away for free.

Even high school classmates such as Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai, who have experienced two lifetimes of friendship, he will not give money directly. At most, he will occasionally help them make some money.

The wages for part-time jobs for college students are very low. In 2008, the cost of part-time jobs per day was only forty or fifty yuan, and it was still some kind of coolie work such as handing out leaflets.

As for tutoring jobs with higher wages, it is not that easy to find. There are too many college students in Shanghai.

For others, you can look for some part-time seniors from the Computer Science School of juniors and seniors.
Li Yuan observed in the classroom, took a few photos with his mobile phone, and hurried back to the dormitory.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, before I could change my jersey, my phone rang again.

When Li Yuan saw the phone number and address, he was confused at first, and then his spirit suddenly shook.

"Hey, is this Su Cheng's phone number?"

In his mind, he immediately thought of a person, and only she could call him.

As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came from over there.

"Xiao Li, are you busy?"

When Li Yuan heard the voice, he knew who it was and quickly answered politely.

"Aunt Gu, are you busy or not? Do you have anything to do with me?"

Gu Lanxin on the other end of the phone felt a little more comforted when she heard that Li Yuan recognized who she was, and her voice became gentler.

"Xiao Li, are you free tonight?"

Li Yuan nodded without hesitation: "When you have time, Auntie, are you in Shanghai?"

Gu Lanxin smiled slightly and said, "Well, I've been in Magic City for two days. If you have time, I'll come over and have some dinner at my house in Jinxiu Villa."

Li Yuan really didn't know that Gu Lanxin had already arrived in Magic City. He only knew that Zhong Tingyue had returned to school, but he never answered or answered text messages or calls.

Because of Bai Weixi, he couldn't go directly to the girls' dormitory to find Zhong Tingyue.

Li Yuan felt very guilty about Zhong Tingyue. This girl from a single-parent family was also very pitiful. She had placed all her hopes for the future on herself, but she had ruined such a good girl.

Until now, he had a feeling in his heart that he could not face Zhong Tingyue.

This is a completely different psychological feeling than facing the instructor Qi Siyu. For Qi Siyu, he will not feel any guilt, because everyone gets what they need and has no emotional basis.

But Zhong Tingyue was different. He had memories of his previous life, and he knew exactly what kind of girl she was.

She looks like a proud and arrogant goddess on the outside, but on the inside she is a very insecure and kind-hearted girl.
All the thoughts in Li Yuan's mind flashed away, and he answered the phone readily.

"Auntie, okay, I'm free in the evening and will definitely go back on time."

Gu Lanxin was relieved when she heard Li Yuan agreed. She had been very worried about her baby daughter's mental state in the past two days, fearing that something would go wrong.

She could see that her daughter still loved Li Yuan deeply and nothing had changed at all.

She has also collected a lot of information about Li Yuan in the past few days, and has strengthened her idea of ​​getting her daughter and Li Yuan back together.

It would be such a loss to quit at this time!
"Xiao Li, okay, aunt will prepare in advance and wait for you to come back."

"By the way, I'll pick up Little Moon later, so don't tell her. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yuan naturally understood what Gu Lanxin meant. He was worried that Zhong Tingyue would not want to see him after knowing that he was also going.

"Auntie, I understand, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Gu Lanxin nodded: "Well, that's it. I'll hang up first. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some food."

"Okay, Auntie!"

After Li Yuan hung up the phone, his face looked surprised. This was a complete surprise.

He did not expect that Zhong Tingyue's mother would also come to Magic City and would be willing to assist him and mediate the relationship between the two.

"The gift that day was indeed not in vain. This assist from my mother-in-law must be put to good use."

Li Yuan murmured, thinking secretly in his heart, how to explain if he saw Zhong Tingyue at night.

Soon, a rough outline emerged in my mind.

Since Bai Weixi can be said to be a true and false PUA, it seems that he can also refine the story with Zhong Tingyue in the same way.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan gently shook his head. This kind of story has been made up too often. It is really boring and full of loopholes.

"In the end, it still depends on Zhong Tingyue's own thoughts. If she wants to continue to develop, she will make good excuses for herself even if I don't say anything."

"If she is determined to break up, no matter how perfect I weave this story, she won't believe it."

Li Yuan thought to himself and looked at the time. It was just around five o'clock in the afternoon. He could still play basketball for a while before going.

After quickly changing his jersey, Li Yuan hurried to the court.

Seeing Li Yuan's arrival, Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Ren Jun and others were all very surprised, and quickly stopped and came over to say hello.

"Brother Yuan, here you are, are you busy with things over there?"

"Teacher Qi, why are you looking for something? I've been here for so long. Hehe, nothing will happen, right?"

"Fart, can Brother Yuan be that kind of person? One hour is not enough, no matter what, it will take two hours."

"Come on, Brother Yuan, catch the ball and dunk one."

Li Yuan took over the basketball speechlessly. He was used to the compliments and teasing of these college golfers.

I have long been immune and have reached a calm state of mind.

Li Yuan slapped the basketball heavily, dribbled continuously with his hips, and then rushed up with a three-step basket. Using the speed of his run-up, he jumped suddenly, grabbed the basketball with one hand, flew directly into the air, and slammed the basketball into the basket. basket.
"Damn it, Brother Yuan, you are so awesome that you can dunk directly." Li Jiaben exclaimed, his eyes widened in disbelief.

After he entered college, he had not played basketball with Li Yuan. He only listened to Liu Jia and others, and Li Yuan was blown away by it.

When he saw him today, Li Yuan performed a one-handed chop, which stunned him.

Liu Jia had seen Li Yuan dunk before, but Li Yuan didn't seem to be that good at jumping before.

Liu Jia gestured to Li Yuan's jumping height in confusion and asked in surprise:
"Brother Yuan, are you secretly practicing jumping at home these days? How do I feel that you can jump higher than before?"

Wu Hao also nodded in sympathy, "Yes, Brother Yuan, your bounce seems to be stronger."

Ren Jun also asked curiously: "I feel that Brother Yuan's bounce at this time must be 90 centimeters, which can be compared with some NBA-level guards."

Xu Ziqiang asked in surprise: "Doesn't that mean that Brother Yuan's physical fitness is enough to join our school team and play CUBA?"

Ren Jun explained: "It's hard to say, but Brother Yuan gives me the feeling that his physical fitness should be much better than that of ordinary school team defenders."

Listening to the discussion of several people, Li Yuan seemed to have discovered some differences. The strength of his legs and Achilles tendon seemed to have indeed become stronger.

However, half a month ago, he really wasn't that good at jumping. He could easily dunk with one hand, but could only barely dunk.

He hasn't played basketball in the past half month, let alone practiced jumping specifically. He has practiced waist and abdominal strength many times. He practices with different girlfriends and in different places almost every day.
Li Yuan thought for a while, dribbled to the basket again, and with the help of his run-up, he jumped again.

The strength of the leg was like a spring. With a swish, it shot up into the sky. His head almost touched the basket. Li Yuan swung it with one hand and made a windmill slam dunk.

"Damn it, big hands and big windmill dunk. Brother Yuan's jump is really invincible. You can participate in the dunk contest."

"Brother Yuan's ability is enough to play in CBA, let alone CUBA."

"In my opinion, Brother Yuan has not experienced professional training. If he undergoes professional training, he might be able to go to the beautiful country to play in the NBA, join the Houston Rockets, and win the championship with Yao Ming."

Li Yuan was puzzled by the unexpected improvement in jumping, and started training vertical jumping and run-up jumping again.

Li Yuan thought about it carefully. After comparing it with the previous one, which was also witnessed by Liu Jia, Wu Hao and others, he found that his jumping height and speed had been greatly improved.

Li Yuan was full of doubts.

"Is it the blessing brought by rebirth? But, that's not right, there were no such huge changes before?"

"I haven't done much in the past ten days or so."

"No, it seems that I did do something."

Suddenly, a possibility suddenly occurred to Li Yuan's mind.

In the past ten days, he has successively taken down Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin, completing the great achievement of three kills.

"Could it be that after my rebirth, I still have hidden cheats?"

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched violently, trying to get this idea out of his mind.

But this idea was firmly rooted in my mind like a maggot bone.

"Made, if this is true, then it's a bit evil." Li Yuan muttered to himself, his scalp numb.

As for whether this is a factor, it is actually easy to verify.

Just spend a little more money and push down a few naive girls.

"Forget it, let it take its course. I don't expect to play in the NBA. There is no need to deliberately try. I will just observe more when I have the opportunity in the future."

As Li Yuan continued to practice jumping and trying various fancy dunks, he also attracted the attention of many basketball enthusiasts on the court.

【who's that person? It’s so awesome. He can dunk on a windmill. Is he from our school team? 】

[Not sure, this bounce is indeed invincible, reaching the NBA level. It’s just that this boy looks familiar to me, as if I’ve seen him somewhere. 】

[You said he looked familiar, but I remembered it a little bit. Could he be that person? MMP, maybe he really is this scumbag]

[Xiaoyong, who are you talking about? Why does he look like he's seen a ghost? Is that person that scary? Although the dunk is indeed amazing. 】【Haha, not only is it awesome, it is simply awesome. If I read it correctly, he may be the most famous super scumbag in our school. Can you tell me whether he is awesome or not? 】

[Zhoucao, are you talking about this year’s freshman, the rich second-generation Li Yuan from the Computer Science Department? His sister, is it really him? Why is he so good at basketball? Are you still going to let us live? 】

[Well, it’s most likely him. There is a tall and thin guy who is nearly 1.9 meters tall. I played basketball with him. He is the freshman in the computer science department this year. Come on, let's go take a look. It's really rare to see someone who can slam dunk in college. 】

[Made, people are so infuriating when compared to each other. This scumbag is a bit too awesome. I even wonder if he is cheating or if he has super powers. Don’t pig feet in some online novels often appear in some superpowers? 】

[Haha, use your pig brain and think about it. If this scumbag wasn't awesome, how could he have four girlfriends at the same time? If it were you, would you be able to do it? 】

[No wonder he can handle four girlfriends at the same time. Li Scumbag's body is also top-notch. 】

[Hahaha, if I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I doubt I would even be able to get out of bed.]

……

Li Yuan looked at the crowd slowly gathering around him and felt secretly happy in his heart. This kind of happiness brought by physical fitness was much higher than the feeling brought by money.

In his previous life, he practiced jumping for a period of time in order to be able to dunk, but the effect was minimal and he couldn't even dunk.

Unexpectedly, after rebirth, all the wishes in the previous life came true.

Li Yuan looked at Liu Jia and the others, his hands were a little itchy, and he smiled: "I haven't played for half a month, and my hands are itchy. Come, let's play for a while and train in advance."

"Okay, Brother Yuan, with your participation, we will definitely win the game the day after tomorrow easily." Liu Jia said excitedly.

Ren Jun smiled and said: "I heard that every school basketball game will cause a sensation in the whole school. There will be a large number of girls watching. The brothers are waiting to make a splash and attract a few girlfriends."

Xu Ziqiang chuckled and joked: "That's not certain. During the game the day after tomorrow, if several of Brother Yuan's girlfriends come to cheer for Brother Yuan, the scene will definitely be exciting."

"Not only Brother Yuan's girlfriend, but Wang Jierong, Xiang Tan Yanqiu, and other girls in our class are going crazy. I can already imagine that scene."

"There are also fans of Brother Yuan, those little fans who like to chase stars. If they see Li Yuan dunk, they will go crazy. The picture is so beautiful that I dare not watch it."

"Damn it, I suddenly thought that there would be a lot of pressure at that time. There are so many people watching, and they are all girls. If you don't perform well and fail to make a shot, you have to lose yourself. You won't be crazy about girls from all walks of life. Shhhh.”

"Ahem, what are you talking about? Hurry up and train. You must hit the ball passed by Brother Yuan, otherwise Brother Yuan's female fans will not be able to spray us to death."

……

Time on the basketball court is always fun. Even if it is only 4-on-4 at halftime, Li Yuan is having a great time.

Every time he completes a dunk, the spectators who have gathered in a circle will let out loud exclamations.

In the sports world, that's how it is, strength is king.

The scumbag in the mouth of girls, the idol in the hearts of boys.

After playing for about an hour, Li Yuan was already sweating profusely, and his jersey was soaked through, revealing obvious muscle outlines, and he really had eight-pack abs.

"It's almost time. I have something to do tonight, so you can continue fighting."

Liu Jia asked with a mean smile: "Brother Yuan, which girl are you going on a date with tonight?"

"Could it be Teacher Qi? Hehe, Brother Yuan, you haven't told us yet, why Teacher Qi is looking for you this afternoon."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This guy Liu Jia has a special brain structure and can always accurately predict his operations.

He suddenly thought of Qi Siyu's reluctant expression before leaving in the afternoon, and felt that if he asked her out in the evening, he would probably succeed.

"Stop making random guesses, it's business. You guys can play, I have to leave beforehand."

……

Li Yuan returned to the dormitory, washed briefly, changed his clothes, and called Xia Zhijin back. He said he had something to do in the evening, so he hurriedly drove to the flower shop next to the Jinxiu Villa community and bought a large bouquet of roses.

Then, without stopping, he went to the mall and spent 10 yuan to buy a diamond necklace and a diamond ring, which he planned to give as gifts to his mother-in-law and Zhong Tingyue respectively.

Li Yuan looked at the gifts he had prepared and muttered to himself: "Little Moon, it's time for you to get rid of your anger!"

……

Jinxiu Villa Community,

Zhong Tingyue, who looked haggard, was surprised and looked puzzled as she watched Gu Lanxin busy preparing various ingredients in the kitchen.

"Mom, there are just two of us, why are you preparing so many dishes?"

Gu Lanxin rubbed Zhong Tingyue's head, seeing her haggard face and eyes red and swollen from crying, she explained with pity.

"Little Moon, look at what you have become recently. Eat more to replenish your body. Don't let your body collapse."

"Mom, you are my only daughter. If your health breaks down, who can I rely on for the rest of my life?"

Zhong Tingyue's expression was slightly silent, and she heard the deep worry in her mother's mouth. She forced a smile, pretended to be laughing, and hugged Gu Lanxin from behind.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm much better now. Don't worry."

Gu Lanxin nodded: "Little Moon, you just need to be open-minded. Emotional matters cannot always be perfect, so you have to be open-minded."

"Your father, the heartless man, and I have been together for several years since we met and gave birth to you. Didn't we finally get together? Although we have no name or relationship, we still live a good life."

"At the very least, your dad didn't let us and my mother have sex. He can come and stay with us when he has time. My mom is much happier than those women who work hard, have no money to spend, and are not in good relationships."

Regarding Gu Lanxin's views, Zhong Tingyue could only remain silent. She could not make a choice for her mother. Perhaps she should be satisfied if she could live happily like this.

However, in her mind, she couldn't help but think of what she secretly overheard her father say in private during her freshman year of high school, and she felt very sad for her mother.

My mother has always been kept in the dark about how much her cruel father cared and loved them.

But little did he know that he had long been prepared to abandon his illegitimate daughter, a mistress, in exchange for wealth and status.
Zhong Tingyue replied with a forced smile: "Mom, I have grown up and understand everything."

Gu Lanxin smiled and said: "Well, you just understand. Mom just wants you to be happy. I still like you the way you were before and don't want you to be like this now."

As he was talking, suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Gu Lanxin's heart moved and she guessed that it was Li Yuan who was here.

"Little Moon, go and open the door."

Zhong Tingyue also left the kitchen with some doubts and came to the door of the living room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Li Yuan standing at the door holding a handful of red roses and smiling.

Three days have passed since the last time I saw Zhong Tingyue.

Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue seriously, and felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Her willow eyebrows are still the same as before, but her once-bright crescent-like eyes have lost their bright color. There is some redness and swelling around the eyes, like a sick beauty who has suffered a serious illness, and her face looks haggard. , not much blood, looking very pale and weak...

When Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue,
When Zhong Tingyue saw it was Li Yuan, she met Li Yuan's gaze, her expression panicked, and her body suddenly trembled. She already understood why her mother cooked so many dishes.

It's because, tonight, there are other guests.

No, maybe I should say, it’s the owner of this house.

They, mother and daughter, are the guests.

Zhong Tingyue lowered her head and silently wanted to turn her head, but Li Yuan reached out to hold her back.

After her hand was held, Zhong Tingyue raised her head and glanced at Li Yuan, then quickly lowered her head and let Li Yuan hold her hand.

Li Yuan closed the door with his foot, held Zhong Tingyue's hand tightly, came to the living room, and placed 99 bouquets of roses of various colors, as well as the diamond necklaces and diamond rings he bought on the coffee table in the living room.

Looking at Zhong Tingyue's cheek affectionately, he sighed and asked softly.

"Little Moon, how are you lately?"

Zhong Tingyue just said "hmm" softly. She looked calm on the surface, but the sweat on her palms proved that she was not calm in her heart.

Seeing that Zhong Tingyue still reacted like this to him, Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. This was not the result he wanted to see.

After being reborn, he could obviously live a free and unrestrained life, but recently due to various emotional problems, he felt a little tired.

Therefore, in the afternoon at the Student Entrepreneurship Office in the Administration Building, I played that kind of game with Qi Siyu.

Isn't this a way of self-relief?

Li Yuan held Zhong Tingyue's little hand and spoke with a smile, avoiding emotional matters and talking about another thing.

"Xiao Yue, I have already chosen the location of the milk tea shop. Now I just need to decorate it. If you have time, you can help me check it out."

Speaking of the milk tea shop, Zhong Tingyue's eyes were filled with color. She glanced at Li Yuan's side face secretly, and then quickly moved over.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Li Yuan felt a little more motivated and continued to talk about the milk tea shop.

"Xiao Yue, have you thought about the name of the milk tea brand I mentioned earlier? I've thought about a few myself, but I'm not satisfied with them."

"This is a milk tea shop opened by the two of us. The important task of choosing a name will be left to you."

"This is what we both agreed before, you can't go back on it."

When Zhong Tingyue heard Li Yuan mention the name of the milk tea brand, the color in his eyes became brighter, and he felt moved in his heart.

"He has not forgotten the agreement we made, and he has not lied to me. He is still thinking about opening a milk tea catering company for me..."

Zhong Tingyue had mixed feelings in her heart. She glanced at Li Yuan and said softly:
"I can't come up with a name either, so you should choose it."

Li Yuan moved closer, almost touching Zhong Tingyue. She could feel her body trembling slightly, but Zhong Tingyue did not move away and allowed Li Yuan to get close to him.

Li Yuan was slightly excited, which meant that Zhong Tingyue was struggling in his heart instead of giving up directly.

As long as she doesn't resolutely give up, and if she stays with her more, and with the help of her mother-in-law, there is a high probability that Zhong Tingyue will acquiesce in this relationship, and everything will fall into place.
Li Yuan thought again that in addition to his mother-in-law, Zhong Tingyue's roommates Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou seemed to be able to do some work.

Don't ask them to say good things for you, don't say bad things about yourself in front of Zhong Tingyue, just keep trying to persuade her.

He knows very well how terrifying a creature like "best friend" is. Sometimes, it has a greater influence than parents and family members.

Li Yuan stopped thinking wildly, put Zhong Tingyue's little hand in his, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Little Moon, I am the one who chose the name. I will leave the name to you. I believe in your vision and aesthetics."

Seeing Li Yuan's expression of confidence in him, Zhong Tingyue suddenly smiled, regained his composure instantly, and answered coldly with one word.

"Ok!"

When Li Yuan saw that Zhong Tingyue agreed, he felt relieved. With the milk tea shop as an excuse, he could go and communicate every day. He didn't believe that Zhong Tingyue could be dealt with.

Starting from scratch, chasing a strange girl and chasing back a girlfriend you are already with are not on the same level of difficulty. They are simply worlds apart.

"Xiaoyue, in addition to milk tea brands, I also collected some types and names of milk tea from the market. Let's refer to it later, including the raw materials of various milk teas, and discuss whether we should produce it ourselves or purchase it from an OEM. "

While Li Yuan was talking about the milk tea catering brand, he secretly reached out his hand, gently hugged Zhong Tingyue's shoulders, squeezed her shoulders, and rubbed her head.
Zhong Tingyue's body trembled slightly due to Li Yuan's intimate movements. She glanced at Li Yuan out of the corner of her eye, then quietly took it back, enjoying it quietly.
At some point, a faint blush appeared on her flawless, pale, bloodless face.
