Chapter 950: Xu Zhi: Yuan, Do You Still Believe in Love?

Since ancient times, heroes have struggled to resist the allure of beauties, and clearly, today’s “Beauty Trap” wasn’t executed well.

The attractive saleswoman in front of Li Yuan, although possessing nice curves and a beautiful face, held little allure for him; she merely sparked physical desire.

Coincidentally, he wasn’t feeling very desirous at the moment, his mind merely occupied with plans for the afternoon and evening…

After getting Little Fish’s phone number from Zhang Ruoxue, he hadn’t called her, waiting instead for this trip to Beijing.

For this occasion, he had made special preparations…

Even for a farewell, there should be a proper occasion, right?

Like the saying from “Passing by Your Whole World”, even when breaking up, it should be face to face; just disappearing without a word isn’t right.

Many times, he felt conflicted and anxious inside.

Little Fish had left his world several months ago and was in a completely new environment. Had she already started anew?

With her qualities, even in Beijing, there must be many guys pursuing her, right?

And surely many guys better than him.

Li Yuan was quite aware of himself. If it hadn’t been for his rebirth, he would have been just an average college student, a town test taker who couldn’t even get into a 985 school. In his youth, besides having a decent body and looks, he’d have been good for nothing…

He was very afraid of seeing a scene he didn’t wish to see.

But he had no excuses or reasons.

He himself was a womanizer, a player involved with multiple women, what right did he have to expect her to keep him in her thoughts?

Li Yuan stopped his daydreaming, clearing his throat to signal Wenxi to get up from his arms.

“Ahem, if you don’t get up, you’ll be seen, and rumors will start!”

Listening to Li Yuan’s words, Wenxi’s face turned crimson with embarrassment, reluctant to get up, she sat next to Li Yuan.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Yuan, her lips parted slightly as she softly asked.

“Even Xia Hua is afraid of rumors?”

Li Yuan smiled but remained silent.

Regarding rumors, he truly wasn’t afraid. The internet was rife with gossip about him, adorned with vivid details.

To this, he had grown accustomed.

Anyway, everyone considered him an unrepentant womanizer, simultaneously involved with several women. Claiming he had no rumors wouldn’t be believed.

This was why he didn’t bother explaining.

“I’m not really bothered; my reputation is what it is.”

“It’s not concern, but worry that a rumor could cause misunderstandings with your boyfriend!”

Li Yuan used a “green tea” style remark, glancing at Wenxi to gauge her reaction.

Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Wenxi became visibly restless.

Hurriedly she explained: “Xia Hua, I don’t have a boyfriend; I’ve never been in a relationship, it’s fine.”

Then, she added shyly.

“I’m not afraid of misunderstandings.”

“No, I’m a loyal fan of Xia Hua, I like your novels, I like your songs, I can sing every single one.”

“If Xia Hua is willing, I could…”

Seeing Wenxi almost offering herself, Li Yuan found it amusing.

It’s only 2009, are girls this forward already?

Or is it that as long as someone is wealthy, famous, tall, and handsome, even beauties rush to cling to them?

At this point, he somewhat understood why those male celebrities and rich heirs often changed girlfriends frequently.

For them, dating was exceedingly simple, surrounded by all kinds of beauties.

Experiencing this so often, it’s easy to develop immunity to so-called love…

Li Yuan just smiled, remaining unmoved.

The beautiful saleswoman in front, despite her looks and body, wasn’t someone he’d casually choose.

Otherwise, with his current wealth and stature, what kind of girl couldn’t he attract?

“What’s your name again?” Li Yuan asked curiously.

Wenxi was caught off guard, a wave of disappointment welled up from within; she’d been with him twice.

He couldn’t remember her name?

“Xia Hua, I’m Wenxi, the ‘wen’ from literature and ‘xi’ as in bustling ‘xixi’.”

Li Yuan uttered an “oh”, took a deep look at her, and smiled:

“That’s a pretty name!”

Then Li Yuan fell silent again, taking out his phone to casually reply to messages.

As university started, Xu Zhi, Wang Shuai, Wang Yuchen, and other high school friends returned to Modu.

Especially Xu Zhi, who had become quite downcast after breaking up with Wang Yuchen, his mindset now vastly different; it seemed he’d given up on love and wanted to focus on making money.

And so, as a good friend, Xu Zhi sought Li Yuan’s advice on good ways to make money.

For his lifelong buddy, Li Yuan wouldn’t hesitate to lend a hand.

He also didn’t persuade Xu Zhi to reconcile with Wang Yuchen, his opinion of Wang Yuchen wasn’t positive, believing that Wang Yuchen was the primary reason for Bai Weixi turning green tea in a past life…

Li Yuan: “Dazhi, you know, if that’s your focus, money indeed bolsters a man’s courage. Once you have money, love will naturally come unbidden. Hey, you have no idea how proactive girls are nowadays. Just arriving in Beijing, a really nice-bodied girl decided to cling on…”
