Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 686: Chapter 239: Bai Weixi’s Compromise, Experiencing Double the Joy

「Splendid Star Resort Hotel」

Watching Li Yuan leave with both Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, Xu Zhi felt a pang of envy. Brimming with excitement, he approached Wang Yuchen, who was in the middle of a song.

It was already past midnight, and only a few karaoke diehards remained, including Wang Yuchen, Zhou Lei, Wang Lisha, and a couple of other girls who loved to sing. The atmosphere of the open-air bar was far better than any KTV, complete with fine wine, delicious food, fresh flowers, and excellent sound equipment.

Xu Zhi waited for Wang Yuchen to finish her drunken song before quietly slipping up behind her and wrapping his arms around her.

He asked with a smile, "Yuchen, it’s getting late. Are you going to keep singing?"

Wang Yuchen glanced at him, her consciousness hazy. "Hmph, Xu Zhi," she said, her tone irritated. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?"

Xu Zhi quickly waved his hands. "No, no! It’s not that. I was just worried you’ve had too much to drink and thought you should get some rest."

Wang Yuchen glared at him and huffed. "Hmph, I don’t need you to manage me. I haven’t had that much to drink! I want to keep singing, keep partying... If you’re tired, go back by yourself. I have my own room. It’s my song! I’m not talking to you anymore!" With that, she grabbed the microphone and continued to sing with gusto.

Xu Zhi had been a little worried about her, but seeing her now, he grew concerned. If this keeps up, there’s no way I’ll be able to follow through on my boasts from earlier today.

Just then, Wang Shuai walked over and clapped Xu Zhi on the shoulder, a sly grin on his face. "Dazhi, you doing okay? Getting shot down by Yuchen again? Are you still going to be able to perform tonight?"

Provoked by his good friend, Xu Zhi quickly denied it, forcing himself to look calm. "Ahem, don’t you worry one bit. I guarantee I’ll seal the deal tonight."

"Alright then, I’ll be waiting for your good news tomorrow!" Wang Shuai chuckled, not really doubting him.

Wang Yuchen and Xu Zhi had known each other for a long time, and Xu Zhi had recently spent a fortune on gifts for her. Tonight, she had also had plenty to drink. It was the perfect alignment of opportunity, location, and circumstance. If Xu Zhi *still* couldn’t make his move, Wang Shuai would genuinely start to wonder if there was something physically wrong with him.

"Zhou Lei and the other girls can really sing, can’t they? I’m dead tired, but I have to stick around and keep them company. Yuan’s the lucky one, getting to take both of his girlfriends home at once."

After complaining, Wang Shuai glanced around and lowered his voice conspiratorially. "Dazhi, what do you think? You think Yuan might be up for... you know... tonight?"

Xu Zhi was momentarily stunned. "What are you talking about?"

"Come on, we’re brothers. Don’t play dumb with me. You know *what* I’m talking about..." Wang Shuai gave Xu Zhi a look of disdain.

Facing Wang Shuai’s scornful gaze, an idea suddenly flashed through Xu Zhi’s mind, and he guessed what his friend was implying. He shuddered, finding the thought unbelievable.

If Li Yuan really wanted to do that... would Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, two absolute bombshells, actually agree? No matter how I think about it, it seems impossible. Especially Bai Weixi. From what I remember, she’s a very proud woman with strong principles. The fact that she can accept Li Yuan having other girlfriends is already beyond my comprehension. For her to agree to something like *that*... it’s just not possible. This would completely shatter my worldview...

Xu Zhi picked up a glass of wine from a nearby table and gestured with it. "Ahem, handsome guy, since we’re bored waiting, want to have another drink?"

Wang Shuai shook his head, a peculiar expression on his face. "Dazhi, if we both get drunk, you’ll ruin your night of bliss. It’s your first time; you should have a clear memory of it, not let it pass in a blur. Besides, I’ve heard that when you’re drunk... well, you know... things don’t work so well down there."

Hearing Wang Shuai’s suggestive words, Xu Zhi’s face flushed red. He didn’t press the issue, his gaze shifting back to Wang Yuchen, who was still singing at the top of her lungs. He felt conflicted.

This girlfriend of mine can hold her liquor way better than the other girls. And she has far too much stamina.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to follow Li Yuan’s lead and seize tonight’s opportunity.

He walked over to Wang Yuchen, glass in hand, and said gently, "Yuchen, you must be tired from all that singing. Have a drink to soothe your throat."

Wang Yuchen’s throat was indeed feeling raw from singing. Already quite drunk, she didn’t even check what Xu Zhi was handing her and downed it in one go.

Swaying on her feet, she looked at him with bleary eyes. "Xu Zhi, do you want to sing with me?"

Having made up his mind, Xu Zhi naturally didn’t refuse. "Sure!" he agreed promptly.

With that, Xu Zhi rejoined the late-night revelry, continuously finding excuses to clink glasses with Wang Yuchen.

Soon, the alcohol hit Wang Yuchen even harder. Her eyes were nearly shut, her speech was slurred, and she was swaying so much she looked ready to fall over at any moment.

A jolt of joy went through Xu Zhi; he knew his moment had arrived. He quickly steadied Wang Yuchen and helped her back to their hotel room.

Gazing at Wang Yuchen lying on the bed, barely conscious, Xu Zhi thought to himself:

Yuchen, we’ve known each other for over three years, and we’ve been in a relationship for more than six months. I’ve been completely sincere with you. For your sake, I even dared to sell off my shares without Yuan’s approval... In these past few months, I’ve spent tens of thousands on you, all told... So why do you keep giving me mixed signals? If it weren’t for Yuan and the handsome guy giving me a wake-up call, I probably would have just let things continue on like this...
