Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 703: Chapter 243 Is This Nap Proper?_3

"After eating, it’s time for some serious business."

Bai Weixi, who was still eating, looked up in confusion. "What serious business is there after we eat?"

Li Yuan gave a wicked grin but replied with a straight face, "Of course, we have to take a nap after eating. Napping *is* the serious business."

Zhong Tingyue’s pretty face flushed instantly. "Ah, pfft! Senior, can’t you be a little more proper?"

Li Yuan spread his hands. "Am I not being proper enough? Don’t you two take afternoon naps?"

Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue exchanged a glance and fell silent, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Of course, they took afternoon naps; it was a habit they had formed back in school. Without a nap, they would have no energy for the afternoon and evening. But if they took a nap now, wouldn’t that mean Li Yuan would be sleeping with them again?

Would what happened last night happen again?

Seeing their shy expressions, Li Yuan’s lips curved into an amused smile as he continued to feign confusion. "Hey, how come you’re both so quiet? Just eating and not talking?"

Zhong Tingyue shot Li Yuan a look and huffed, "It’s your fault for making the food so delicious..."

「...」

After lunch, Li Yuan washed his face, filled with anticipation, and prepared to take a proper nap. He watched his two girlfriends sitting motionlessly on the sofa, absorbed in the TV.

Li Yuan asked quizzically, "Bai, Little Moon, are you two really not going to take a nap?"

Zhong Tingyue flinched slightly and tried to sound casual. "Um, Senior, I’m not sleepy yet. I want to catch up on my show first."

Li Yuan said, "Oh," and turned to Bai Weixi. "What about you, Weixi?"

Bai Weixi’s eyelashes fluttered. She glanced at Li Yuan, feeling a thrill of anticipation mixed with shyness, but she also declined. "Er, I want to catch up on my show, too. You go ahead and sleep by yourself."

Li Yuan was speechless. Did you two plan this? No wonder they say three monks have no water to drink. With one man and two women, it’s also easy to end up thirsty.

"Ahem, well, I’m going to sleep then. If you two get sleepy, just come on up." Li Yuan coughed, his heart full of regret as he walked up the stairs.

If I want to keep enjoying double the pleasure, I have a long way to go! I’ll have to try harder!

After Li Yuan left, Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue looked at each other and burst into giggles.

"Weixi, why don’t you go up and keep him company?" Zhong Tingyue teased. "He did make us a proper lunch, you know."

Bai Weixi was too embarrassed to agree. "You should go first. You drank more last night, so you probably weren’t thinking clearly."

Hearing the implied meaning in Bai Weixi’s words, Zhong Tingyue blushed. This was tantamount to a direct admission.

"Hmph, then let that big villain stew for a bit."

Bai Weixi laughed as well. "Mhm, let him stew. Let’s make him sweat it out; he’s so naughty."

Zhong Tingyue giggled, covering her mouth. "Haha, Weixi, do you think he can even fall asleep by himself?"

Bai Weixi tapped her chin. "He probably can. He didn’t get to sleep until three or four in the morning. He must be sleep-deprived!"

Zhong Tingyue asked in surprise, "Three or four in the morning? You two were at it that late?"

Bai Weixi gave Zhong Tingyue a peculiar look and teased, "Tingyue, is it possible that *you* were the one he was ’at it’ with in the end?"

Zhong Tingyue knew what Bai Weixi meant. Vague images from last night floated through her mind, and her face turned crimson. "Weixi, you didn’t seem to drink that much last night. Why would you agree to that?"

Zhong Tingyue was incredibly curious. She couldn’t imagine why Bai Weixi would agree to something so outrageous. She herself had been drunk and wasn’t fully conscious, but Bai Weixi must have been.

Listening to Zhong Tingyue’s question, Bai Weixi looked utterly embarrassed and stammered, "I don’t know either. At the time... after we... in the bathroom, I was all dazed. He carried me to your bedroom and claimed he’d gone to the wrong room. Then... I just ended up watching you two..."

Zhong Tingyue huffed. "That big villain! I’m one hundred percent sure he did it on purpose. He was trying to get us to do it together this afternoon, too."

After that, Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue began to chat like true best friends.

「...」

Meanwhile, Li Yuan lay alone in bed.

He waited and waited, but with no sign of Bai Weixi or Zhong Tingyue coming up, he eventually drifted off. He was genuinely exhausted from the previous night and that day; even his back was starting to ache.

「...」

It was the ringing of his phone that eventually woke Li Yuan. Seeing the caller ID, he answered. "Hello, Dazhi? Did you get things sorted out?"

Xu Zhi replied energetically, "Yeah, Yuan, your method is magic! Everything’s sorted out. She forgave me."

Li Yuan chuckled to himself. If the method I suggested didn’t work, my rebirth would have been for nothing.

Li Yuan joked, "That’s good, as long as it’s settled. You can finally experience a happy college life. Dazhi, you’ve transformed from a boy into a true man, hehe. So, how did it feel? Any thoughts?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s bold question, Xu Zhi sounded a bit embarrassed and couldn’t quite relax. "Ahem, it was... okay. Better than I imagined."

Li Yuan burst out laughing. "Dazhi, now that you’ve had a taste, you’ll never forget it. Your hand can finally retire!"

"Yuan, Yuchen and I are heading back to school. We’ll come hang out with you guys another time," Xu Zhi said. "You and your two ladies keep having fun!"

"Sure," Li Yuan replied. "When I have some time in a few days, I’ll come find you at your campus."

After hanging up on Xu Zhi, a smile touched Li Yuan’s lips.

I still don’t have high hopes for Xu Zhi and Wang Yuchen’s relationship, but I’m secretly happy for my friend. At least in this life, Xu Zhi truly got Wang Yuchen. Even if they break up later, it won’t have been for nothing. When dealing with green tea, the best method is to eat your fill and wipe your mouth clean...
