Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 654: Chapter 230: Li Yuan’s Encyclopedia Introduction, Xia Zhijin’s Small Request_2

Sun Junjun sneakily glanced at Li Yuan, who was cuddled up with Xia Zhijin. Holding an HTC smartphone, she gestured to her two roommates. The phone’s browser still displayed information about "Life Like Summer Flowers."

"Look," she said quietly. "This is an entry on Li Yuan. If this information is correct, then his identity is obvious."

"Lanlan was probably right. Li Yuan really is ’Life Like Summer Flowers’—the eighteen-year-old online writer, founder of Zhihu, and singer."

Chu Yanyan hurriedly took Sun Junjun’s phone and looked at the search results. As a "public figure" of sorts, Li Yuan already had a detailed entry on the Qiandu Encyclopedia.

[Life Achievement (Emotional Experience): Li Yuan, pen name "Life Like Summer Flowers," has a rather rich emotional history. He is rumored to maintain intimate relationships with several female classmates (unconfirmed)...]

Chu Yanyan trembled slightly as she read the Qiandu Encyclopedia entry, nearly dropping the phone. Every detail about Li Yuan on the page was unbelievable to her.

Considering he was not yet nineteen, the previous achievements showcased an extraordinary talent that was palpable even through a screen, just from the numbers alone. What shook her to the core, however, was the final entry on his "emotional experience," which explicitly stated he maintained intimate relationships with several female university classmates.

Chu Yanyan couldn’t help but glance at Li Yuan, who was singing so intimately with Xia Zhijin. They looked like a perfect couple, a match made in heaven, which had initially made her sincerely happy for her cousin, believing she had found a man worthy of her trust. But now... freewebnøvel.coɱ

Does Zhijin know about this?

Chu Yanyan grew anxious. Her gaze toward Li Yuan became complicated, the initial admiration replaced by a hint of revulsion. For some reason, she despised philandering scumbags...

Zhang Xiulan listened to Li Yuan sing, recalling how she had just requested one of his songs. She felt a strange sense of shame, as if she had requested him, not just his song. Her perception of Li Yuan after reading the entry was completely different from Chu Yanyan’s; she was filled with a sense of delighted surprise.

It was as if a legendary idol had suddenly appeared before her, alive and real. And this idol was a talented, handsome, and wealthy heartthrob, singing right there in the same room with her...

Sun Junjun nudged Chu Yanyan’s arm and whispered, as if afraid Li Yuan would overhear, "Yanyan, do you think your cousin knows Li Yuan’s true identity?"

Chu Yanyan shook her head. She and Xia Zhijin only chatted occasionally, and they rarely talked about Li Yuan in any detail. Xia Zhijin had only ever mentioned that Li Yuan was a university classmate who was very good to her. She had never brought up anything about him being an online writer, a musician, or the founder of Zhihu. Therefore, Chu Yanyan had never even considered such possibilities.

"Your cousin seems so innocent," Sun Junjun said, her voice laced with worry. "If she finds out Li Yuan has been deceiving her, do you think she’ll be able to handle it?"

Sun Junjun’s words immediately sent a jolt of anxiety through Chu Yanyan.

She knew her seemingly gentle cousin all too well. Xia Zhijin was the type who was outwardly soft but inwardly strong. Because her aunt and uncle had died in an accident when she was young, she was far more sensible than others her age.

Generally, children who mature early possess a strong inner will. However, that resilience is always encased in a protective shell to ward off harm.

And once that shell is breached, the stronger the heart, the more devastatingly it shatters...
