Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 669: Chapter 235: Both Girlfriends Drank Too Much? Great! (8000 words, asking for monthly pass)

Zhong Tingyue would be lying if she said she wasn’t envious. It was impossible for any girl not to be envious of such a dreamlike scene.

Flowers, balloons, streamers, music, and delicacies all wove together into a fantasy birthday party that naturally stirred the hearts of the young men and women present.

Nearby, Wang Yuchen’s eyes shone as she took in the scene around her, her mind brimming with fantasies.

This was the kind of life, the kind of birthday party, that a girl should have. Not just a simple meal together, singing a birthday song, eating some cake, and making a wish that would likely never come true...

Wang Yuchen watched the emcee on stage introduce the event. She couldn’t help but grab Xu Zhi’s hand, speaking with eager anticipation.

"Xu Zhi, I love this so much! The sense of ceremony is off the charts; it’s amazing. I really want my birthday to be just like this."

Xu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that Wang Yuchen’s birthday was in mid-to-late November, and it was already October 31st. There wasn’t much time left.

When she said those words, the hopeful expectation in her eyes made her desires perfectly clear.

It made his scalp tingle with dread. Li Yuan is a genuine hundred-millionaire, so of course he can afford to throw such a lavish birthday party for Bai Weixi. How could I ever manage that?

Although Xu Zhi didn’t know how much Li Yuan had spent on the banquet, the mere sight of six Rolls-Royces, a venue decked out in flowers, a ceremony comparable to a wedding, and a professional female emcee told him everything he needed to know. All of this must have cost a fortune.

Facing Wang Yuchen’s expectant gaze, Xu Zhi could only brace himself and nod.

"Yuchen, of course. I’ll definitely give you an unforgettable birthday party!"

Hearing Xu Zhi agree, Wang Yuchen’s face lit up with overjoyed surprise. She leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Heh heh, that’s your reward, Classmate Xu."

Being boldly kissed on the cheek in front of everyone, Xu Zhi’s heart fluttered. He squeezed Wang Yuchen’s hand and replied solemnly.

"Yuchen, don’t worry. Whatever other girls have, you will have too."

The confidence for this promise came from the over one hundred thousand yuan in his bank account.

Hearing his words and thinking about how he had been giving her all sorts of gifts and taking her out for delicious meals lately, Wang Yuchen was extremely satisfied. She replied with a cheery laugh.

"Heh heh, honey, you’re the best!"

After the emcee delivered her opening remarks and introduced the ten activities planned for the evening, she started some small games to get the crowd excited.

As a professional team, the emcees from Splendid Star had hosted countless birthday parties and were adept at livening up the mood with all sorts of games. They had a whole repertoire at their fingertips.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Our first little game is called ’I Ask, You Answer,’ and a correct answer gets you a red envelope!"

Liu Ying, the emcee, brandished a thick stack of red envelopes they had prepared earlier.

Her gaze swept over to the front row where Li Yuan and Bai Weixi were sitting, and she continued to work up the crowd.

"Director Li has given the word! As long as the energy is high, the red envelopes won’t stop coming! So everyone be ready to shout out your answers!"

"Ahem, are you ready? I’m about to ask the first question."

Wang Lisha, Deng Meiqi, Zhou Lei, and Bai Weixi’s other university classmates immediately cheered in response.

"We’re ready!"

The emcee held up the microphone and a colored piece of paper, then read out the first question.

"First question: what is Bai Weixi’s cell phone number? No looking at your phones!"

"Countdown... three... two..."

The audience was completely caught off guard. Nobody expected that to be the first question.

Xu Zhi, Ding Shanshan, Wang Lisha, and the others exchanged glances, frowning as they racked their brains.

"I know!"

Just as the emcee was about to say "one," a voice suddenly rang out. It was Wang Yuchen, who had shot her hand up and was loudly reciting a string of numbers.

"Bai’s phone number is 187...5688!"

Hearing the correct answer, the emcee announced the result with a laugh.

"Congratulations, miss, you got it right!"

"Here’s your red envelope, catch!"

The emcee held the red envelope between her slender fingers. With a light flick of her wrist, she sent it soaring through the air in a graceful arc. As if guided by GPS, it flew straight into Wang Yuchen’s hands.

Wang Yuchen excitedly caught the red envelope and shouted to Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai.

"Yes! I got the first red envelope!"

The emcee continued to fan the flames to stir up the crowd’s excitement.

"Miss, would you mind showing everyone what you won?"

Wang Yuchen certainly didn’t mind. Full of anticipation, she opened the envelope and pulled out a large red banknote.

"Wow! A hundred yuan! Mwah!"

When the others saw the hundred-yuan bill, they were all stunned.

They were just ordinary university students. For them, one hundred yuan, if they were frugal, was enough to cover a week of expenses.

Instantly, a competitive fervor to answer questions and win red envelopes swept through the crowd.

Such is the power of a red envelope.

Ding Shanshan nudged Xu Tingrou’s arm and whispered in awe, "Talented Li is so lavish. The red envelopes for a simple game are all hundred-yuan bills. I rarely even get bills that big for my New Year’s money."

Xu Tingrou chuckled and teased, "Shanshan, you’re already in university and you still get New Year’s money?"
