Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 696: Chapter 241: Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue’s Offensive and Defensive Alliance_4

Zhong Tingyue finished singing and asked with a bubbly smile, "How was that? The sound system’s not bad, right?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile. "It’s pretty good. This place could really pass for a karaoke bar."

"Bai, do you want to give it a try too?"

Bai Weixi looked deeply at Li Yuan, hesitated for a moment, then nodded as well. She chose a classic Cantonese song, "A Thousand Songs"...

[...Even if tomorrow brings a thousand songs, floating far away on my road... Even if tomorrow brings a thousand evening stars, shining brighter than tonight’s moon...]

After Bai Weixi finished singing, Li Yuan couldn’t help but applaud, exclaiming, "Bai, you can sing in Cantonese? You sang really well! Why have I never heard you sing before?"

Bai Weixi smiled faintly. "You never really invited me to sing in the past!"

"Haha, that’s true!" Li Yuan rubbed his nose. In his previous life, after the college entrance exams and before starting university, he had invited Bai Weixi and Wang Yuchen to karaoke twice, though they never sang any Cantonese songs. In this life, however, he’d been busy writing novels, playing the stock market, and getting his driver’s license. Back then, he hadn’t wanted to bother with Bai Weixi, so he truly had no idea her Cantonese songs were so pleasant to listen to.

"Now that we’ve finished touring the villa, how about the three of us watch a movie?" Li Yuan asked.

Bai Weixi nodded. "Sure! Can we find a good movie here?"

"All the old movies are available, like various Hollywood blockbusters and some Hong Kong films. Let me take a look... what kind of movies do you two like?"

Li Yuan switched the system to the movie channel, which had a variety of classic local and international films.

Zhong Tingyue suggested, "How about we watch ’Titanic’? Weixi, what do you think?"

"Yeah, sure!" Bai Weixi agreed with a smile. "Brother, what about you?"

As the most famous Western romance movie, both girls were quite eager to watch it.

Li Yuan, browsing through the various movie titles flashing on the screen, actually preferred to watch a science fiction movie, like ’The Day After Tomorrow’...

"I’m fine with that too. Let’s watch ’Titanic,’ then."

...

Outside, the rain poured relentlessly. It grew even heavier, and soon lightning began to flash and thunder to roll.

The thunder roared, loud enough to shake the heavens. Even inside the room, it caused Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue to shiver. They instinctively squeezed into Li Yuan’s arms from either side, seeking a sense of security.

With a beauty on each arm while watching a romance movie, Li Yuan’s thoughts soon wandered from the film’s plot to the two women in his embrace. His hands began to rove...

Under Li Yuan’s shameless sneak attack, Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi simultaneously pinched his waist hard, one on each side.

"OW, OW! Bai, Little Moon, can’t you two go a little easier on me?"

Zhong Tingyue snorted. "Hmph, Li Yuan, what mischief are you up to again? Don’t think we don’t know. Don’t even think about it. Right, Weixi?"

"Yeah, he has. He’s gotten so bad lately. His mind is always full of those shameless things," Bai Weixi chimed in with a knowing smile.

Looking at the dimly lit private theater and the restless Li Yuan, they naturally understood his intentions. After tasting the sweetness of the previous night, his thieving heart clearly hadn’t given up. He wanted to have another go right here in the private theater.

Zhong Tingyue laughed. "That’s right, he wasn’t like this before. Now he’s gotten so sleazy and glib. He’s also much bolder, capable of doing all sorts of outrageous things."

Bai Weixi agreed. "Tingyue, you’re right. Before, he was just a player, but now he’s even bolder. He can’t even keep his hands to himself during a movie. I was just getting engrossed..."

Zhong Tingyue added with a lovely, faint smile, "It’s such a moving love story. I was crying, but it was like he wasn’t even watching. All he thought about was touching me. He really has a heart of stone..."

Bai Weixi added, "Yeah, so heartless. I was crying my eyes out... Brother, is your heart made of stone?"

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips to hide a smirk. "Senior, we’re talking to you. Didn’t you like ’Titanic’? Wasn’t the movie moving?"

...

Seeing Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, his two ’rivals in love,’ suddenly join forces to verbally assault him, Li Yuan felt dazed, as if he were dreaming. When did these two members of a plastic sisterhood get so close? It was as if they’d secretly signed a mutual defense pact, banding together against a common enemy and turning their fire on him. Listening to their back-and-forth, anyone who didn’t know better would think they were actually the best of friends!
