If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 232: Training the Treasure Girl, Xiaobai's Birthday Anxiety (asking for monthly tickets)

Listening to Xia Zhijin's request, Li Yuan pinched her uneasy little face and thought to himself, this is no big deal, it's easy for him.

However, Li Yuan decided to tease her.

Pretending to be serious, he asked calmly, "Zhi Jin, how did you come up with this request?"

Seeing Li Yuan's serious expression, Xia Zhijin suddenly became nervous. Her big eyes were blinking with tears glistening in them, and she answered hesitantly.

"Ah? If you don't want to write, then, then don't write it."

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. This treasure girl hasn't changed at all.

Even though the two of them have reached this kind of relationship and are now completely honest with each other, they are still so shy and cautious, without the kind of coquettish and unreasonable behavior that other girls have.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that there were only two reasons for this situation.

First, this kind of character, formed under the influence of family and environment, has been subtly imprinted deep in the mind and is difficult to change in a short period of time.

Secondly, she still lacks enough sense of security around me, and what I do cannot make her let go of her psychological burden and act like a spoiled child at will...

That's why she was so cautious even when asking me to write a song for her.

She must have known this, because she had written songs specifically for Jiang Zhiyu, Zhong Tingyue, and Bai Weixi.

If it were any other girl, she would definitely lose her temper.

But this is Xia Zhijin, a treasure girl with a gentle personality that makes people feel distressed.

However, Li Yuan did not want this treasure girl, who only saw him in her eyes and the world, to live so cautiously.

Li Yuan immediately hugged her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

He stared intently into her tearful eyes and spoke solemnly.

"Zhi Jin, you are my girlfriend and will be my daughter-in-law in the future. You don't have to be so cautious in front of me, afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing."

"You are my girlfriend. You can act like a spoiled child to me, be willful to me, and be angry with me. Even if you have a bad temper towards me, I will never leave you. Do you understand what I am saying, Zhijin?"

Xia Zhijin met Li Yuan's gaze and listened to his words which sounded domineering but whose content was extremely heartwarming. In an instant, she was surrounded by a sweet feeling.

She nodded heavily, her voice choked with happiness.

"Husband, I understand."

Li Yuan scratched the beautiful girl's nose and smiled mischievously: "Then can you repeat your request from your girlfriend's perspective?"

"Ah?" Xia Zhijin was confused and had a bewildered look in her eyes. She didn't quite understand what she heard.

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Just what I just taught you. Repeat it in the tone of a girlfriend acting like a spoiled child."

Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan shyly, her heart pounding. This time she understood what Li Yuan meant.

He smoothed his hair that fell on his shoulders, thinking of his girlfriend's coquettish look in his mind, and spoke in a mosquito-like voice:
"Hubby, can you write a song for me too?"

Hearing Xia Zhijin's coquettish tone, Li Yuan suddenly shuddered, and then felt like an electric current surge through his body. His body was numb because of Xia Zhijin's coquettish tone.

Looking at the precious girl with a flushed face who was staring at him shyly, Li Yuan felt as if he was floating in the air.

It's so warm, so beautiful, and so touching.

This extreme sense of contrast made him a little addicted.

Li Yuan rubbed Xia Zhijin's head and praised her highly: "Not bad, not bad, I have this feeling now."

"Haha, you should hold my arm and shake it gently. This will make you feel more like a couple, acting like a spoiled child."

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan secretly and asked in a low voice: "Hubby, how about I do it again?"

"Sure!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan, her face flushed, and she wrapped her arms around Li Yuan's arms. Xiong Da and Xiong Er also rubbed his arms slightly, and spoke again in a coquettish tone.

"Honey, I want you to write a song for me, too, okay?"

"It tastes right!" Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart and a numbing sensation all over his body, which instantly aroused him. He turned over and hugged this precious girl.

"Zhi Jin, you did a great job. Hehe, your husband will give you a reward."

As he said that, he suddenly leaned forward to check the condition of Big Bear and Little Bear from a close distance...

……

By the time the game was over, it was already past midnight.

Li Yuan looked at Xia Zhijin who seemed a little tired and said with a smile: "Zhijin, I actually thought of a song that is more suitable for you. I will learn the music score in the next few days and sing it for you."

"Okay, husband!" Xia Zhijin acted coquettishly.

The next day, the two went to school together. Li Yuan took advantage of a large class and secretly ran back to the dormitory, picked up the guitar, and began to play a song according to the music score taught by Xiao Yuer.

It would be fine if Xia Zhijin's singing was not good, but Li Yuan had just heard Xia Zhijin's warm and intoxicating voice with his own eyes last night, so he naturally helped her choose a song that was very suitable for her.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed while he was composing, playing and singing. With his excellent learning ability and musical sense, Li Yuan finished the song he prepared for Xia Zhijin in just half a day.

That afternoon and evening, Li Yuan called Xia Zhijin and came to the old place "Yuanyangpo" of the school.

Seeing Li Yuan holding the guitar, Xia Zhijin's heart was pounding, and she was waiting expectantly for the song Li Yuan would write for her.

Li Yuan took out a piece of music from his backpack. On it were the lyrics of a song. The lyrics had been slightly modified passively and were more like a love song expressing love between lovers.

Handing the lyrics to Xia Zhijin and patting her head, Li Yuan spoke affectionately:
"Zhi Jin, when I met you on the day of the first freshman class meeting, I fell in love with you. Your every smile, every move, deeply attracted me.

Meeting you is the happiest and luckiest thing in my life.

I may not be a good man and cannot give you all my love, but I promise that I will always love you, never leave you, and never change until death. "

"This song "Little Luck" is for you. I hope you like it."

Listening to what Li Yuan said, Xia Zhijin's hands holding the piece of colored paper with lyrics were trembling slightly, and her pair of big, expressive eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions.

He muttered softly to himself, his eyes determined, responding to Li Yuan's words.

"Li Yuan, I am also lucky to meet you!"

Li Yuan plucked the strings of the zither, his eyes fixed on this precious girl, and spoke very gently.

【I heard the raindrops falling on the green grass...】

[I heard the bell ringing in the distance...]

【Why didn’t I realize I met you…】

[Who is the one who has been silently guarding the place in the wind and rain...]

[It turns out that you are the luck that I want to keep the most...]

【The decision for me to fight against the world...】

【The rain that accompanied me...】

Oh, how lucky I am!

……

After writing an adapted version of "Little Lucky" for Xia Zhijin, Li Yuan began to live a happy life again.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of October.

Li Yuan is still the same every day. When he has professional courses or interesting courses, he will occasionally attend the courses. The rest of the time, he either goes to the company to handle business, or uses his free time to type in the office.

In addition, he took Zhong Tingyue to check the progress of the decoration, select the purchasing channels, contact the production of various milk tea packaging bags and equipment, etc.

Opening a brand new milk tea shop from start to finish is not easy.

It is only 2008 now, and there are still relatively few milk tea franchise stores.

After more than three months of entrepreneurial experience from August to now, Li Yuan has truly experienced the feeling that "starting a business is not easy."

It is really difficult to gain weight in one go. It is already difficult just to establish a milk tea restaurant brand.

If you want to develop a company into a large technology company like BAT, Huawei, Dami, ByteDance, etc., it is really difficult.

It's not just something you can say verbally or spend a lot of money on. It needs to be implemented from all aspects and requires a lot of hard work.

Some people say that even a pig can take off if it stands in the right place.

But if the pig is too fat and not strong enough, it might be blown away by the wind.

Even if the pig is strong enough to fly up with the help of the strong wind, if it cannot control its own balance and does not use the force of the wind to its advantage, it will not be able to stand steadily in the wind and will be killed sooner or later... Just like "Zhihu" now, it has been half a month since it was officially launched, and the number of active users every day has begun to decline.

These are users who have just registered. Some of them have already worn off the novelty and started throwing this website into the trash.

It is not easy to maintain long-term and healthy development. It must be attractive enough.

On October 10, Li Yuan came to the company to solve various new problems that had arisen in the company.

In the conference room,

Li Yuan talks about the new development strategy of Zhihu.

"Zhihu is our company's first product and also the most successful one. Now its popularity has declined a bit. The reason has just been explained by Director Lin. Don't panic, this is normal."

"Now, what we need to do is to increase the attractiveness of Zhihu, so that those users who have already registered will pay attention to Zhihu again, and those who have not registered will re-register. The number of Internet users in China has exceeded 16 million, and our target population is a broad group of 60- years old, which also accounts for the vast majority of my country's Internet users..."

"The plan to attract new users, increase gimmicks and hot spots, and improve user activity has been distributed to everyone. Please implement it according to the results of the discussion..."

After the meeting, Li Yuan felt exhausted both physically and mentally. The development of the company really took up too much of his energy, and he had spent much less time with his three girlfriends recently.

Li Yuan took out his cell phone and looked at the date: October 10th.

"Hey, I accompanied Xiaoyue today, who should I accompany tomorrow? It seems to be Zhijin?"

……

A-1314, Girls Dormitory,
At night, Bai Weixi was staring out the window in a daze. Zhong Tingyue was not in the dormitory, but looking at her happy expression before she left, she should be spending some time alone with Li Yuan.

Wang Lisha looked at Bai Weixi's lost expression, walked over to her, and asked with concern:

"Wei Xi, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look unhappy?"

Bai Weixi forced a smile and shook his head: "Nothing!"

Wang Lisha sat down, held Bai Weixi's hand, and asked:
"No, Wei Xi, how could I not understand you? You must be unhappy. Tell me what happened. Are you having a conflict with your boyfriend again?"

"Lisa, it's really not that. Stop guessing." Bai Weixi was still unwilling to say.

Seeing that Bai Weixi insisted on not telling her, Wang Lisha sighed helplessly.

"Uh, okay."

In the past few days, she carefully discovered that Bai Weixi seemed to be hiding something in his heart and he always felt a little depressed.

Today, this gloomy mood seems to have reached its peak.

[Only when the white moonlight shines, do you remember her goodness? The cinnabar mole is hard to get rid of. Do you know...?]

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

This is the cell phone ringtone she recorded herself based on the song "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole" written by Li Yuan for her.

Bai Weixi quickly took the phone, expecting it to be that man calling.

But when I saw the name of the caller, that feeling of anticipation suddenly turned into a deep sense of loss.

The call was from my best friend Wang Yuchen.

As soon as the call was connected, Wang Yuchen's concerned voice was heard.

"Xiaobai, what are you doing?"

Bai Weixi replied boredly: "I was daydreaming!"

Wang Yuchen asked in confusion: "Dazed? Xiaobai, what's wrong with you today?"

Bai Weixi glanced out the window, the feeling of loss in his mind already filling his entire body.

Today is October 10th, and tomorrow is my 30th birthday.

But until now, Li Yuan has not taken any action, not even making a phone call, as if he had forgotten his birthday.

Bai Weixi: "I feel a little upset."

Wang Yuchen: "What's wrong? Isn't tomorrow your birthday? You should be happy at this time. What's there to be upset about?"

Bai Weixi: ………

Wang Yuchen: "Xiaobai, although tomorrow is not the weekend, it is your first birthday in college. How are you going to celebrate? I have prepared a gift for you in advance today."

Listening to her bestie's words, Bai Weixi became even more annoyed. Even Wang Yuchen could remember his birthday, but that bastard Li Yuan seemed to have forgotten his own birthday.

Bai Weixi: "Yuchen, woooo, I feel like Li Yuan forgot my birthday."

Wang Yuchen: "How is this possible? How could Li Yuan forget your birthday? Do you still remember what Li Yuan did for you on your birthday in the first semester of your senior year?"

Bai Weixi: "I remember, he folded 999 colorful paper cranes for me. On each of them, Li Yuan wrote a blessing. In addition, he also gave me a pair of earrings and a pair of sneakers..."

Wang Yuchen: "Yes, 999 paper cranes. I heard from Xu Zhi that Li Yuan would come home from school at around pm every day and fold them until or in the morning, and this lasted for several weeks."

Wang Yuchen: "Li Yuan treated you so well before. I feel that even if he forgets his own birthday, he will definitely not forget yours. Don't worry, just wait for the surprise he prepares for you."

After hearing what Wang Yuchen said, Bai Weixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his feeling of loss eased a little.

Bai Weixi: "I hope so, right? I don't want a big surprise, I just hope he can be with me tomorrow, then I'll be satisfied."

Wang Yuchen: "Hehe, Xiaobai, you are really a little in love now, just like those couples in love, your mind is full of him. Xu Zhi, Wang Shuai and I are also going to accompany you to celebrate your birthday tomorrow. Are you welcome?"

When Bai Weixi heard that three high school classmates were going to celebrate his birthday, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Suddenly, she thought of a question and asked it in confusion.

"Yuchen, are you and Xu Zhi reconciled again?"

Wang Yuchen: "Well, we've made peace for now. My birthday is coming soon, so I'll give him another chance."

After hearing her best friend's answer, Bai Weixi was completely speechless.

A week ago, Wang Yuchen called her to complain that Xu Zhi had been very stingy in the past month, and their relationship had become much less friendly, so she had already proposed a breakup.

Unexpectedly, it’s only been a week and the two of them have reconciled?
The speed of this change was so fast that it made her dizzy.

Bai Weixi: "Hehe, Yuchen, how far has your relationship with Xu Zhi progressed?"

Wang Yuchen: "What else could it be? It's definitely not as fast as you and Li Yuan. I just allow him to hold hands occasionally."

Bai Weixi was stunned. The university had already started for two months, and the two were still just holding hands?
"Yuchen, the two of you are making too slow progress."

Wang Yuchen snorted and started to complain: "Do you remember that night when we went to KTV to sing? We all drank that night."

Bai Weixi nodded shyly. Of course she remembered that night. It was her first time. In a drunken state, she gave everything she had to Li Yuan without reservation.

Wang Yuchen continued, "You don't know, that night, Xu Zhi almost got me. After that, I kept my distance and didn't let him get close to me that often."

After a pause, Wang Yuchen snorted and spoke proudly.

"A girl's first time is very precious. Xu Zhi didn't let me give in to all my impulses before, so I naturally had to keep it. Even if I let him hold my hand occasionally now, he would be so happy..."

Listening to Wang Yuchen's words, Bai Weixi felt very complicated. She was not stupid, and now she could feel that sometimes, Wang Yuchen's approach was not appropriate. It seemed that she was deliberately hanging Xu Zhi, giving him some sweet treats, but she didn't want to make it clear. It felt like she was looking for a better job while still having a donkey...

Wang Yuchen: "Xiaobai, it's settled. Tomorrow the three of us will go to your school to find you. You, the little rich woman, must treat us well."

Bai Weixi: "Well, let me know when you come tomorrow."

……

After hanging up the phone with Wang Yuchen, Bai Weixi looked out the window with complicated feelings.

Although on the phone, Wang Yuchen vowed that Li Yuan would definitely not forget his birthday.

But she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Weixi looked at the time. It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, so she decided to send a message to Li Yuan.

Bai Weixi: "Brother, what are you doing?"

After mustering up the courage to send this message, Bai Weixi waited anxiously for Li Yuan's reply.

I waited and waited, and until almost eleven o'clock, my phone vibrated slightly.

Bai Weixi quickly took out his cell phone.

Li Yuan: "I'm taking a shower. Go to bed early!"

Seeing this bland news from Li Yuan, Bai Weixi felt aggrieved. In an instant, a few tears dangled in her beautiful eyes, as if they would fall at any time.
