If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 227 The School Beauty Who Committed Suicide (asking for monthly ticket)
This thought only flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

He himself is now the super rookie king that Yuandian Chinese website is focusing on cultivating. He has received maximum recommendations and has become truly popular.

Because of his titles as "genius musician" and "founder of Zhihu", his fanatical fans want to join the "leader group" to support him, and dozens of leaders give him rewards almost every day.

Now the number of members in his alliance group has exceeded 1000, and it has changed from a "book friends group" to a "fans group". Li Yuan can do nothing about it.

All I can say is that the level of fanaticism of fans and that of readers are completely on a different level.

Just like Jay Chou's Shanghai concert that he and Zhong Tingyue attended at the weekend, the ticket revenue alone was in the tens of millions, and it was hard to get a ticket.

Li Yuan suddenly thought, if superstars like Jay Chou and Xu Song wrote a novel on the website, how popular would it be?
That kind of scene is simply unimaginable. As long as the quality is slightly good, it should be easy to break the highest subscription record in the online literature circle.

Although he is far from reaching the level of Jay Chou and Xu Song in the field of music, he has released songs such as "No Makeup", "Confession Balloon", "Just Met You", "Anhe Bridge", "Just Once" and so on in just a month. In the eyes of fans, he is a musical genius comparable to Jay Chou, Xu Song and others, and naturally attracted many fanatical fans.
Li Yuan smiled as he thought about the subscription data and reward information he had seen in the past few days.

With the support of many fans and his daily update of 10 words, the royalties for October are likely to reach an astronomical figure, and may even exceed eight figures.
The group came to the small cafeteria, and Li Yuan ordered seven or eight dishes. They were also discussing the establishment of an online literary club.

The more Gao Xin thought about it, the more excited he became. He stared at Li Yuan eagerly and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li, if you find it troublesome and don't want to take the lead, I can run errands and apply to the school Youth League Committee. I just need to borrow your name. Do you think it's okay?"

Seeing that several classmates were so excited, Li Yuan didn't want to spoil their fun.

Anyway, it is very easy to set up a club in school. You may not even need to apply for a venue, you can just set it up in the dormitory.

However, if he applies to establish a club in his name, the school may provide some help.

Even if establishing an online literary club requires operating funds, it is not a big problem for him who is worth over 100 million yuan, and it is not even a drop in the bucket.

After just a little thought, Li Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you guys decide. I'll give you both spiritual and material support."

Seeing Li Yuan agreed, Gao Xin, Li Lanrong and Ge Chenchen all jumped up excitedly, looking as if they were looking forward to becoming members of the China Writers Association and achieving financial freedom in the future.

Gao Xin showed a look of relief and replied with a smile:
"Hehe, Mr. Li, we feel relieved when you say that. We will definitely do our best to make our online literature club a five-star club that is better than the literature club."

"Yes, yes. With the support of Boss Li, I can't even imagine what heights our online literary society will reach." Li Lanrong also looked longing.

"You said, if we all become online writers, it would be very nice if we can join the Writers Association in the future. Even if it's not the China Writers Association, it would be very nice if we can join the Magic City Writers Association."

"Haha, I'm more looking forward to the royalties. If I can earn a few thousand yuan a month as Li Yuan said, I won't have to worry about my university tuition and living expenses."

"Last night, Zhijin and I talked about working part-time at Boss Li's company. If I were to write now, that would be considered another form of part-time job, right?"

"Hehe, Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Xu Ziqiang, the three of you went to Mr. Li's company to work part-time, and the girls like us went to work at Li Yuan's literature club."

As they talked, they began to discuss the name, structure, entry requirements, venue, etc. of the online literary club they were planning to establish.

Gao Xin looked at Li Yuan, her beautiful eyes blinking. "Mr. Li, you are the one who took the lead in establishing the Internet Literature Club. You are our core. Can you give our club a name?"

"Give me a name?" Li Yuan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what the name is, just give me any one you want."

Gao Xin immediately retorted: "That won't do. This name must be given by you, the great scholar Li, for it to be meaningful."

"Yes, yes, Li Yuan, you should think of a name quickly." Li Lanrong and Ge Chenchen also quickly agreed.

Li Yuan nodded helplessly, "Okay then!"

After thinking for a while, a name came to Li Yuan's mind. He looked at several people and slowly uttered two words.

"spark!"

"Let's call the online literature club 'Spark'. What do you think?"

"Spark?" Gao Xin chewed over these two words, his eyes shining with brilliance, clapped his hands, and praised:

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

"I understand what you mean. Our current 'Spark Literary Club' may be insignificant, but one day, with everyone's joint efforts, it will grow and become as big as a spark that ignites a prairie fire, and it will astonish the whole world."

"Master Li, am I right?"

Li Yuan smiled. He simply thought the name was nice and the book was written by a beautiful writer he met in his previous life, so he named it this way.

However, there is no need to tell Gao Xin and others about these things.

"That's about right." Li Yuan nodded.

A few people were having dinner while talking about the entry threshold of "Xinghuo Literary Society", how to recruit members, and how to learn writing.
"Mr. Li, should we focus on students majoring in Chinese, Chinese language and literature? Will their writing skills be better?" Gao Xin asked seriously.

Li Yuan shook his head and explained, "For online novels, the most important thing is whether the storyline is exciting. As for the writing style, although it is important, it is not that important. It is something you need to consider after you really get started and want to go further."

"As for whether to recruit members, I think we can, and we don't need to limit it to the Chinese department. It can't be said that the ability to write good novels has nothing to do with the major, but it can be said that there is a slight relationship."

Li Yuan earnestly shared with a few people some knowledge about online novels that he had learned in his previous life.

Now, online literature is just beginning to emerge and is in the early stages of rapid development. There are not many people who really understand the writing of online literature, and it is not like later when there are people selling courses everywhere.
Listening to Li Yuan’s “lecture”, Gao Xin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. I've read some popular romance novels recently, but the writing is really average. I feel that with our writing skills, we can easily surpass them. However, the stories they write are very attractive and make people want to read them. It's like they're addicting."

"Master Li, I've been learning to write an introduction recently. When I finish writing it in a few days, can you help me take a look?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "No problem."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Okay, after school this afternoon, I'll go find out what conditions are needed to establish a club."

During a lunch, the 'Spark Literary Society' was initially organized.

Li Yuan is the first president of the "Xinghuo Literary Society". Gao Xin, Li Lanrong, Ge Chenchen, and Xia Zhijin have also joined this online literary society.

Several top female freshmen are ready to make a name for themselves in the online literature field.
Li Yuan still has confidence in the level of several people. They are all 985 college students. At least their writing skills will not be bad. The rest are writing techniques and various creative ideas, which can all be learned.

As long as they study hard, are willing to accept, and can understand the popular nature of online novels, and don't think too highly of themselves like those people in the literature club, it won't be too difficult for them to write good works. Maybe, they can even teach a few founders of a school...

Li Yuan knew in his heart that after "Honor of Kings" was launched, he would invest in some industries that would surely be very popular in the future and achieve true financial freedom, and he might not write novels anymore.

But we can teach some apprentices and let them continue to shine in the field of online literature...

After lunch,

After Gao Xin, Liu Jia and others left, Li Yuan saw that Xia Zhijin seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he touched her head and said with a smile:

"Zhi Jin, what's wrong? It seems like you are worried about something."

"Don't keep anything in your heart, just tell me."

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan and said in a whisper, "Li Yuan, my cousin said she wanted to come see me and see you. Are you free?"

"Your cousin?"

Li Yuan was stunned and suddenly remembered that Xia Zhijin did have a cousin studying in Shanghai.

It was because of this cousin that Xia Zhijin came to Shanghai to attend university instead of staying in the mountain city.

She had mentioned it to me before, but later on due to relationship and work issues, it was always delayed.

Seeing Xia Zhijin's nervous look, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He pinched her smooth white face and said jokingly:

"I thought it was something else. When will my cousin come? Should I prepare in advance?"

Seeing that Li Yuan did not refuse, Xia Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at Li Yuan with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Are you free around four or five this afternoon?"

Li Yuan was puzzled. Today was Monday. Why didn't his cousin choose to come on the weekend?
However, he didn't care. They were all in the Magic City and the distance was not too far.

"Of course I'm free. Then I won't go to the company this afternoon and wait at school? Or should we drive to your cousin's school?"

Xia Zhijin hesitated for a moment: "Ah? How about I ask my cousin?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Well, okay. It may not be convenient for my cousin to come alone. It will be more convenient for us to drive to her school. You can ask. I can do anything."

Xia Zhijin smiled sweetly: "Well, I'll call her now."

Li Yuan watched Xia Zhijin talk on the phone with her cousin, and she hung up within two minutes.

"What did my cousin say?"

"My cousin said that if it's convenient for us, we can also go to their school to take a look."

"Oh, that's fine. We only have one class in the afternoon. After school, we'll drive there together." Li Yuan finished speaking and asked:
"Zhijin, by the way, which university is your cousin attending?"

Xia Zhijin smiled and said, "She is at Magic City University of Technology. I told you about her before."

"Oh, yes, I remember." Li Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Xia Zhijin’s cousin seemed to be called Chu Yanyan. She went to the same university as herself in her previous life and was her senior.

Speaking of which, I studied at the Shanghai University of Technology for four years in my previous life. In this life, I have been in Shanghai for more than two months, but I have not been to the Shanghai University of Technology yet.

Also, the five roommates in my previous life, those college classmates, and the girls who once pursued me.
Li Yuan suddenly felt a sense of "homesickness".

College life is often the most unforgettable period in a person's life.

In college, you have the most time, the most free environment, the most youthful and romantic atmosphere, and there is no huge pressure to start a family and build a career after work.
Li Yuan couldn't help but think of many scenes in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
It was Xia Zhijin's words that brought him back to reality.

"Li Yuan, what are you laughing at?" Li Yuan woke up, rubbed Xia Zhijin's head, and said with a smile:
"Thinking of some past events."

"We're at the dormitory. You can go back and rest for a while at noon. After class, we'll go to Magic City University of Technology together."

"OK!"

At 3:40 in the afternoon, the bell rang on time.

Under the gaze of the whole class, Li Yuan held Xia Zhijin's hand and drove directly to Shanghai University of Technology.

"Zhi Jin, this is your first time meeting your cousin. Buy her a gift. Do you know what she likes?"

"Ah? Do you need to bring any more gifts?" Xia Zhijin asked in a daze.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You said your cousin treats you very well, so why not give her a gift as a token of your appreciation?"

"Be good and listen to me."

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan, with a happy smile on her face, and said softly:
"So what gift should I give my cousin? I don't really know!"

Li Yuan smiled. He had some experience in giving gifts to girls. He had given them gifts too many times in his two lifetimes.

However, those were all gifts I gave as a boyfriend. This is the first time I give a gift in this capacity.

This is the first time I meet my cousin, so the gift I give her cannot be cheap, but it doesn’t need to be too expensive either.

The first thing Li Yuan thought of was electronic products, such as mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, MP4s, etc.

Secondly, cosmetics, bags, clothes and shoes are not very suitable.

If you know what her hobbies are, you can also give her some special gifts, such as a badminton racket, table tennis racket, guitar, etc.

"Zhi Jin, does your cousin have a laptop?" Li Yuan asked.

Xia Zhijin shook her head and whispered, "Probably not. I video chatted with her a few times, and she always used her roommate's laptop."

Li Yuan felt relieved and smiled: "That's perfect, then I'll give my cousin a laptop. She'll be able to use it."

It is only 2008 now. Students from well-off families can naturally afford laptops, but there are still many students from very poor families who cannot even afford a mobile phone, like Xia Zhijin in the past...

Hearing that Li Yuan was going to give his cousin a laptop, Xia Zhijin looked a little hesitant and asked hesitantly:

"Isn't this too expensive?"

Li Yuan smiled, touched Xia Zhijin's thigh, and said with a smile:

"She is your cousin, which means she is also my cousin. Didn't you say before that your cousin is very good to you? We should be generous. A laptop only costs a few thousand yuan and you can use it in the future."

Xia Zhijin smiled sweetly. Li Yuan attached great importance to her relatives, which made her feel full of happiness.

"Li Yuan, thank you!"

Li Yuan chuckled: "Silly girl, why are you still talking about this between us?"

"Then let's go to the mall first and choose a computer for my cousin."

The two drove to Longyu Shopping Mall, the same merchant as last time, and bought the same model of laptop as Xia Zhijin.

In front of the entrance of Shanghai University of Technology.

Chu Yanyan looked around anxiously, expecting that familiar figure to appear.

She is just in her third year of college. She has a lot of professional courses recently and is busy with a part-time job, so she has no time to look for her cousin.

When I was preparing to go during the National Day holiday, I heard from my cousin that she had already returned to the mountain city with her boyfriend and had already met grandma and dad...

Thinking about the phone call, my father, who was far away in the mountain city, praised my cousin's boyfriend to the heavens and the earth, and bought a luxury house worth one or two million in the mountain city for my cousin...

This made her have deep expectations for this cousin-in-law whom she had never met before.

"Cousin, I'm here!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice brought Chu Yanyan back from her reverie.

Chu Yanyan knew whose voice it was as soon as she heard it, and quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

Then I saw,
Not far away, a graceful figure was waving at him excitedly, and behind her was a very streamlined BMW SUV.

"Zhi Jin!"

Chu Yanyan's expression lit up with joy, and she quickly walked over to him.

Xia Zhijin greeted excitedly, her face full of joy of reuniting with her family: "Sister Yanyan."

When Chu Yanyan saw Xia Zhijin's appearance, she was suddenly stunned even though she had seen her often before.

Xia Zhijin used to be very beautiful, but due to family reasons, she had low self-esteem and often kept her head down. She was far from being as bright and confident as she is now...

Chu Yanyan lovingly held the hand of this poor cousin, and said jokingly with a smile:
"Zhi Jin, we two sisters haven't seen each other for almost three months. You are more beautiful than before. It seems that your boyfriend treats you very well."

Listening to her cousin's jokes, Xia Zhijin's beautiful face was stained with a blush. Looking at her cousin who was only slightly shorter than her, equally beautiful but more mature, she shyly praised:

"Sister Yanyan, you are very beautiful too!"

Chu Yanyan pursed her lips and smiled secretly: "Haha, silly girl, we two sisters should stop praising each other here."

"By the way, where's your boyfriend? Didn't he say he'd come with you?"

Xia Zhijin shyly glanced at Li Yuan who was parking the car.

"He's parking the car."

Following Xia Zhijin's gaze, Chu Yanyan saw the brand new BMW. Her eyes moved slightly, but she was not surprised at all.

He bought a 200-square-meter luxury house for his girlfriend whom he had just known for more than a month. He must be very rich. Even driving a BMW seems a bit low-key.
At this time, Li Yuan also parked the car and was carrying a packaged laptop. He saw Xia Zhijin chatting with a tall girl and thought to himself that this girl was probably her cousin.

Li Yuan walked over and looked at Xia Zhijin.

"Zhijin."

Then, he looked at Xia Zhijin's cousin.

When he saw Xia Zhijin's cousin, Li Yuan was stunned and a little dazed. He felt very, very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

In my mind, memories of my past life kept coming back to me, like pages of a scroll being quickly turned over...

Suddenly, he thought of something.

In his previous life, at the end of the first semester of his freshman year, he seemed to hear a piece of news that a beautiful junior girl had committed suicide by jumping off a building due to relationship problems.

At that time, this matter caused a lot of uproar, and all kinds of news were reported, with details and details.

Some people said that she committed suicide in anger because of relationship problems with her boyfriend who cheated on her.

Some people also said that this beautiful senior student with the looks of a school belle was raped by several boys, and then she could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping off the building.

There are various different opinions, but the photo of this beautiful senior was leaked by someone. It caused some disturbance in the school at that time, but it was suppressed by the school and did not spread.

At that time, I lamented with my roommates that beautiful women have always been short-lived.

Li Yuan never expected that the beautiful senior schoolmate who was so beautiful but had a tragic fate might actually be Xia Zhijin's cousin?

Chu Yanyan saw her cousin's boyfriend, and as soon as he saw her, he stared at her intently. She felt a little embarrassed being stared at.

Even though I am very beautiful, I can't let my cousin stare at me like that, right?

With a slightly red cheek, she coughed and said hello:
"Hello, I'm Chu Yanyan, Zhijin's cousin."

Hearing Chu Yanyan's voice, Li Yuan came back to his senses. He looked at his cousin deeply with complicated eyes, calmed down his shocked mood, and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, Sister Yanyan, my name is Li Yuan, and I'm Zhijin's boyfriend."

Chu Yanyan smiled and said, "I often hear Zhijin talk about you. You are really tall and handsome. Not bad, not bad."

Li Yuan glanced at Xia Zhijin, touched this silly treasure girl with his arm, and shook the laptop in his hand to remind her.

After Li Yuan's reminder, Xia Zhijin finally reacted and quickly reached out to take the gift from Li Yuan, and said shyly:
"Sister Yanyan, this is a gift Li Yuan bought for you."

Chu Yanyan looked at the wrapped gift box, feeling a little surprised and delighted. She didn't expect that her cousin's husband would be so sensible and would buy her a gift when he met her for the first time.

"As your elder sister, I haven't given you two any gifts yet, but you guys gave me gifts."

Chu Yanyan first thanked him, then politely declined.

"I appreciate your kindness, please take the gift back."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Yanyan, this is mainly a small gift from Zhijin and I. Thank you for taking care of Zhijin all the time."

"I've heard what she said about the past. I'm really grateful to you, Sister Yanyan, otherwise I would have missed Zhijin..."
