If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 228 Sincerity is the ultimate skill, but going alone is a dead end

Li Yuan insisted on giving it, and Xia Zhijin also persuaded him. Chu Yanyan, who didn't know the value of the gift, couldn't refuse it, so she accepted it.

"Hehe, thank you both for the gifts. I will accept them shamelessly."

"This is your first time at the Magic City University of Technology, right? Should I take you around the school?"

Chu Yanyan held Xia Zhijin's hand and looked at Li Yuan, appearing very enthusiastic. It can be seen that the two sisters have a good relationship.

Li Yuan and the other man naturally would not have any objections.

After being reborn and revisiting his old place for the first time, Li Yuan looked at the university where he had stayed for four years in his previous life, with many emotions in his heart that jumped out in his mind.

Same age, different schools, and completely different experiences.

In my previous life, I was just an ordinary person with a decent figure and good looks. I didn’t have 3000 yuan on me. In this prosperous metropolis, Magic City, I was just at the bottom of the social ladder...

In this life, at the same age, I am already worth over 100 million yuan and have initially achieved financial freedom...

Li Yuan listened to Chu Yanyan's introduction with a smile on his face, but doubts arose in his mind from time to time. Was the school beauty who was classified as committing suicide in his previous life the one in front of him?
In his previous life, he had only looked at some photos on the Internet and saw that the cousin in front of him was about 70% similar...

"Zhi Jin, Li Yuan, Modu Polytechnic University was founded in 1906, about the same time as your Daxia University. Both have a long history."

"However, you are a normal university, and we are a science and engineering university. Have you noticed any differences in our schools?"

When Xia Zhijin was with Chu Yanyan, his personality became much more cheerful and he talked more.

"Sister Yanyan, I feel like there are very few girls in your school. Most of the people I met along the way were boys?"

Chu Yanyan chuckled and said, "It's like this in a science and engineering university. There are more boys than girls. The ratio is very different. The ratio of boys to girls in our school is about 5:1. Many boys can't find girlfriends."

Xia Zhijin widened her eyes, looking shocked:
"A 5:1 male-to-female ratio? Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"I heard that the ratio of boys to girls in our school is 1:3."

"Zhi Jin, yours is a normal university, and we are a polytechnic university, so it must be different. Among all kinds of universities, normal universities, art universities, and medical universities all have more females than males. For example, the University of Architecture and Technology next to our school, the male to female ratio is said to be 10:1..."

"Hehe, it's very hard for boys to find girlfriends in science and engineering universities."

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan and asked curiously, "Sister Yanyan, have you found a boyfriend?"

Hearing Xia Zhijin's question, Li Yuan's heart moved and he couldn't help but listen attentively.

From Chu Yanyan's answer, perhaps we can judge what the situation was in the previous life.

Chu Yanyan answered openly: "I don't have a boyfriend yet, but I have a lot of suitors."

Xia Zhijin said "Oh" softly, and chuckled, "Sister Yanyan, haven't you found the right one?"

Chu Yanyan smiled and said, "Well, I feel like they are all too childish, not mature at all, and insecure."

"Zhi Jin, you are much more cheerful now than before. As expected, the power of love is really great."

Xia Zhijin smiled and glanced at Li Yuan secretly. Because of this man beside her, she had changed from an inferior and timid girl to what she is now...

"Hehe, Zhijin, how did Li Yuan pursue you at that time? Tell me about it."

When Li Yuan heard that he was being talked about again, he coughed quickly and felt a little embarrassed.

The process of him pursuing Xia Zhijin was full of old man's tricks.

This innocent and shy treasure girl was taken by him without even knowing it, without even the chance to pull, keep an eye on, or compare...

Li Yuan was a little surprised. Could it be that this beautiful cousin didn't know that he was dating several women at the same time?

This is also possible.

On his way here, he heard Xia Zhijin say that Chu Yanyan had been working part-time since her freshman year, doing various part-time jobs, and without a laptop, she might not have the time to surf the Internet and chase stars.

Although my current reputation is not small, perhaps I have only heard the words "born like a summer flower", which cannot be compared with myself.

Only those fanatical fans or senior book friends can know me.

Li Yuan was a little nervous. Currently, only Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, Jiang Zhiyu, and some other girls, as well as some classmates, netizens, and fans knew about his relationship...

The parents of Xia Zhijin and Bai Weixi seemed to be unaware of this matter, at least Bai Weixi's parents were not aware of it.

Otherwise, Li Yuan doubted whether Bai Weixi's father, who was a bit of a "daughter slave", would pick up a knife and chop him after knowing the truth...

Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan tenderly, bit her lip, and smiled charmingly.

"We were classmates. On the first day of school, when we were introducing ourselves, he suddenly walked towards me and said that I had helped him and wanted to treat me to a meal..."

"He was very good to me. He shared my childhood stories with me, cooked with me, took me to work, went shopping with me, and watched the sunset with me..."

"He is also very talented, just like the sun in the sky, so dazzling..."

Li Yuan was also listening carefully to what Xia Zhijin said about their relationship. His cheeks turned slightly red, and he felt a little guilty and remorseful.

Such a treasure girl, in her eyes, the whole world is filled with herself, but she is not just herself.

Chu Yanyan listened to Xia Zhijin's story, and her beautiful eyes showed a strange feeling. She glanced at Li Yuan, who was smiling and carrying the things beside her. He was taller than the others, had a well-proportioned figure, a handsome and cool face, and was generous and magnanimous...

In her heart, she could give Li Yuan a score of 90.

I couldn't help but sigh at my cousin's good vision. Some of the "high-quality men" I met at the science and technology university where there are more boys are also very different from Li Yuan.

"Tsk tsk, Zhijin, Li Yuan, you two are so romantic!"

As she was talking, Chu Yanyan looked at Li Yuan and said jokingly:

"However, Li Yuan, you are only a freshman, how could you learn so many tricks to trap Zhi Jin?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, what kind of trick is this, it's just child's play.

"Sister Yanyan, this is not a trick. It's because of my sincerity that I can win Zhijin's heart."

Li Yuan said seriously: "Sincerity is the ultimate skill in love!"

Of course, there is the second half of the sentence he didn't say. This ultimate move is a king bomb when used together with other moves, but if used alone, it will be a dead end.

Coincidentally, his "sincerity" can be combined with other moves.

"Sincerity is the ultimate skill in love?" Chu Yanyan murmured to herself, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Li Yuan deeply, her heart pounding...

"Li Yuan, you are young, but you have a deep understanding."

Chu Yanyan sighed, took Xia Zhijin's hand, and pointed to a building next to her:
“At our school, there are many sights to see.”

"This is our school's antique library. It is said to have several decades of history. And the clock tower..."

"This is the playground. The environment is pretty good, right? How does it compare to your school?"

"This is a gymnasium. There are basketball courts, badminton courts, and table tennis tables. There are so many people here every day that you can't even queue up. I've rarely been there..."

A man and two women walked along the green road through Shanghai University of Technology, feeling the charming scenery of this school.

Li Yuan was too familiar with this to feel much novelty, only memories etched in his mind.

suddenly,

A cell phone rang.

Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin both turned their eyes to Chu Yanyan.

Xia Zhijin reminded with a smile: "Sister Yanyan, your phone is ringing."

"Oh, let me see who hit me."

Chu Yanyan took out a very ordinary Nokia cell phone from her bag.

The smiling expression suddenly changed when he saw the caller.

She didn't answer and just hung up.

Chu Yanyan pretended to smile casually: "It's okay, it's an unfamiliar number, it might be a salesperson."

Li Yuan's observation ability has been greatly improved after his rebirth. He has been secretly observing Chu Yanyan and noticed the sudden change in her expression when she saw the phone number just now.

She obviously knew the number of the caller, but now she said it was a strange number she didn't recognize. There must be something strange about this...

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Li Yuan did not dare to ask, as it would be inappropriate.

However, just after Chu Yanyan hung up the phone, Li Yuan heard Chu Yanyan's cell phone ringing again.

Chu Yanyan took out her cell phone with a slightly embarrassed look on her face. When she saw that it was still the same number, her expression became even more embarrassed. Although it was only for a moment, she immediately returned to her normal sweet smile, but it was still caught by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan remained calm, his mind filled with the bloody scene from his previous life.

If he doesn’t know me, that’s fine. Less trouble is worse than more.

But now it seems that the school beauty who committed suicide was most likely Xia Zhijin's cousin.

This cousin has such a good relationship with Xia Zhijin, and it is also because of her that I met this treasure girl.

It is impossible for him to just stand by and watch someone die, both morally and logically.

He simply couldn't imagine how Xia Zhijin, a girl with a miserable life in her previous life, would feel when she learned that her closest cousin had also committed suicide by jumping off a building...

If it were me, I would probably collapse!
Just like when my eldest cousin committed suicide due to love, I was sad for a long time, and my uncle's family cried every day.
Not long after Chu Yanyan hung up, the phone rang again, and then she hung up again.

At this time, the careful Xia Zhijin also noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion.

"Sister Yanyan, whose phone call is this? Why don't you answer it? Is there something important that he wants to talk to you about?"

Chu Yanyan pretended to be calm and shook her head: "It's okay, it's just a strange phone call, don't worry about it, let's continue shopping, it's not easy for you and Li Yuan to come here."

Although Xia Zhijin felt something was wrong, she couldn't put her finger on it. At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly smiled and joked, "Zhijin, maybe it was one of Sister Yanyan's suitors who called, and Sister Yanyan was embarrassed to answer the call in front of us."

Xia Zhijin's eyes lit up, and she blinked her bright big eyes and smiled secretly at Chu Yanyan.

What Li Yuan described is also very possible.

"Sister Yanyan, is this really your suitor?"

Chu Yanyan's heart skipped a beat. Of course she knew exactly who was calling.

But precisely because I know this clearly, I feel helpless.

She and Xia Zhijin are cousins. Although her looks are not as good as Xia Zhijin's, she can still score above 90 points. In a school like Magic City University of Technology where there are more wolves than meat, she is naturally very popular. She is praised as the school belle and has many suitors, but there is no one who is particularly outstanding among them.
The person who had been calling non-stop just now was one of them, a very special one among them, one whom she dared not offend.

"No, just a stranger."

Chu Yanyan obviously didn't want to say more. She looked at Li Yuan and the others and said with a smile:
"What would you two like to eat tonight? I'll treat you."

Xia Zhijin smiled and said, "Sister Yanyan, let's go to the cafeteria and try the food in your school cafeteria."

"Go to the cafeteria to eat?" Chu Yanyan was stunned and felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

"The food in our school cafeteria is just average. How about we go out to eat? I'll treat you two to a feast."

Li Yuan added, "Sister Yanyan, Zhijin and I often eat out. We don't really have anything we like to eat, so we just cook two dishes in the cafeteria to get a taste of the University of Science and Technology. After dinner, we can continue to walk around the school, saving us the trouble of running back and forth."

"Okay then, our cafeteria has several special dishes, and I think they taste pretty good."

Seeing that Li Yuan also insisted on eating in the cafeteria, Chu Yanyan simply gave up. Considering Li Yuan's wealth, the food outside might not be attractive to him.

The three of them strolled for a while, and as it was getting closer to dinner time, there were obviously more male college students out hunting.

When Xia Zhijin and Chu Yanyan walked together, they immediately attracted a lot of exclamations and discussions.

As the "thorn in the eye" of the beauty, Li Yuan felt that he was almost killed by her gaze.

This is completely different from being at Daxia University.

At Daxia University, although his three girlfriends were all stunning beauties at the school level, he himself was even more famous because of those reasons, and many people knew him...

While enjoying the "eye-catching" gazes from many men, Li Yuan joked:

"Sister Yanyan, Zhijin, I feel really overwhelmed walking with two beautiful ladies like you."

"I feel like the rate of people turning back to look at you two has reached 1,000 percent."

Chu Yanyan chuckled: "Hehe, what's the matter, Li Yuan, are you feeling the pressure?"

"The return rate is 1,000%. How did you calculate that?"

Li Yuan shrugged and joked, "The return rate is 100%. Of course, it's because some people look back once and don't find it satisfying, so they look back again and again. When all is added up, it's 100%."

"I'm sure every boy who passes by right now wants to trade places with me..."

"Li Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent."

Chu Yanyan laughed, pulled Xia Zhi's hand, and said jokingly:

"No wonder you managed to win over our Zhijin in just one month."

Li Yuan thought, one month? Who are you looking down on?

Half a month at most, I always hold hands with someone on the day we meet.

In my previous life, it’s not uncommon for me to play poker with someone on the first night I met them.

All I can say is, the bolder a person is, the faster love will come.

If you still don't dare to make any moves like in your previous life, you will be regarded as a licking dog or a fish in a pond sooner or later.
Li Yuan knew what was going on.

……

The three of them arrived at Moli's small cafeteria while being "ceremoniously sent off" in public.

Almost all universities are the same. In addition to the large cafeteria that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are also several "small cafeterias" where you can order dishes individually.

Chu Yanyan handed the menu to Li Yuan: "Li Yuan, Zhi Jin, look at the menu and see what you want to eat."

Li Yuan now has no special pursuit for ordinary food, and he doesn’t have any favorite food.

Unless it is some special food that you have never eaten in your previous life.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Yanyan, please take care of me. I am not picky about food."

Xia Zhijin was also unwilling to order food, so Chu Yanyan had no choice but to order some special Sichuan dishes herself.

While waiting for the food, they chatted and talked about family matters, all of which were interesting stories about Xia Zhijin and his family.

"Li Yuan, I heard from my dad that you are a heavy drinker. You made my uncle and the others drunk and unconscious?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, and the scene of his first visit to Xia Zhijin's house and Xia Zhijin's uncles forcing him to drink emerged in his mind.

They drank Maotai that day. Xia Zhijin's uncles drank quite a lot and enjoyed themselves very much...

Naturally, he also became famous for his drinking.

Although he doesn't want to wear this kind of "reputation" on his head.

"Haha, Sister Yanyan, that's not the case. It's just that my uncle and the others were in high spirits and drank a little more."

Chu Yanyan curled her lips and said with a smile: "Come on, don't pretend in front of me. I know better than you how much my uncle and his friends can drink."

"My dad said that he wanted to test your drinking capacity, but after knowing that you got my uncle and his family drunk, he stopped talking about it."

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, as if that was the case.

That night, I just tasted it briefly, then went home and ate Xia Zhijin...

"Zhi Jin, Li Yuan has already met his parents. You two are progressing really fast. I'm already a junior in college and I've never been in a relationship."

"Come to think of it, I thought that with your personality, you would be like me and not fall in love in college."

As Chu Yanyan was talking, she thought of Xia Zhijin's previous appearance and personality, and felt that the world is unpredictable and unpredictable.

"I didn't expect you to find a boyfriend so quickly and bring him home so quickly. Zhijin, you know, when I heard the news from my dad, I thought he was kidding me and didn't believe it at all."

Listening to her cousin's jokes, Xia Zhijin's cheeks turned slightly red.

Father, like son.

When she thinks back now, everything that has happened in the nearly two months since the start of college seems unbelievable, like a dream, and somewhat unreal.

Before she went to college, all she thought about was studying hard, finding a good job, and bringing her grandmother and Aning out of the mountains when she was able to. She never thought she would fall in love so soon, or meet her parents so soon.
Many times, she was afraid to wake up and find that all this was fake...

Chu Yanyan continued to joke, "A few days ago, my dad called me and urged me to find a partner as soon as possible. He also said that he didn't have high requirements for his future son-in-law, and that someone similar to Li Yuan would be fine..."

"Do you know what I said?"

"Sister Yanyan, how did you answer your uncle?" Xia Zhijin asked curiously.

Chu Yanyan smiled and said, "Hehe, I say, it's simple, you just treat Zhijin as your own daughter, she is your niece anyway."

Li Yuan smiled. He thought there would be another answer.

The three of them were talking.

suddenly,

Li Yuan saw a tall boy holding a bouquet of flowers, coming to the cafeteria door and looking around inside.

When he saw Chu Yanyan, his face suddenly showed surprise and he walked over with flowers in his hands.

"Yan Yan, you are here, why don't you answer my call?"

When Chu Yanyan saw Yin Sheng following her, her expression suddenly changed, and her voice was mixed with helplessness and anger.

Before Chu Yanyan could speak,
Yin Sheng looked at Xia Zhijin beside Chu Yanyan again. His eyes suddenly lit up, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and he licked his lips subconsciously.

"Yan Yan, why didn't you call me when you were eating in the cafeteria?"

"Who is this beautiful lady next to you? Won't you introduce her to me?"

Chu Yanyan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, stared at Yin Sheng, and spoke in a cold voice.

“Yin Sheng, who she is has nothing to do with you, right?”

Yin Sheng didn't care about Chu Yanyan's attitude and replied with a smile: "How can it have nothing to do with me? I am your boyfriend!"

"Yes, I bought you a rose."

After saying that, he threw the bouquet of roses into Chu Yanyan's arms.

Chu Yanyan quickly pushed it away, her voice helpless: "I don't want it."

Yin Sheng continued to smile and said, "Yan Yan, you know how I feel about you, why do you keep your distance from me?"

Chu Yanyan frowned helplessly: "I've already said that I don't want to fall in love during college, why do you have to force me to agree."

……

Xia Zhijin, who was standing by, saw this scene, a hint of doubt emerged in her bright eyes. She was a little confused about the current situation. She looked at Li Yuan, grabbed his hand with her soft little hand, and asked for help.

Li Yuan gave a look that said "don't worry".
