Chapter 39: Chapter 38 We’re Just Ordinary Friends!

Bai Weixi’s gaze was cold as she stared at Li Yuan. He dared to do it but won’t admit it? What kind of man is he! He just took my first time, and now he’s here making light of it. What a despicable scoundrel.

Li Yuan felt a chill under Bai Weixi’s intense stare. He shrugged and, looking somewhat awkward, scratched his nose and suggested, “You just got here and haven’t eaten yet, right? How about I treat you to some seafood? There’s fresh abalone and delicious green tea.”

Bai Weixi was still visibly upset. “I’m so angry I’ve lost my appetite,” she retorted.

“That’s even better. You’ll save me the cost of a meal. I’ve been really broke lately,” Li Yuan said, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Weixi got even angrier. She glared fiercely at Li Yuan, tears sparkling in her eyes. “You jerk, Li Yuan! All you do is bully me. I don’t want to talk to you ever again!”

Li Yuan was just about to quip, Isn’t this a stroke of luck?

But fearing he might actually cause Bai Weixi to explode with anger, he swallowed his words.

“Um, let’s head back to the university first. There’s still time to register today.”

This time, Bai Weixi just nodded silently without a word. For a moment, the two of them fell into silence.

Li Yuan stuck his hand out to hail a cab. After a long wait, he finally flagged down an empty one.

“Sir, to Xia University!”

Li Yuan put Bai Weixi’s luggage in the trunk and looked at her as she stood there in a daze. “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go!”

Bai Weixi just glanced at Li Yuan before slipping into the back seat of the taxi.

Just as Li Yuan was about to get in the back with her, Bai Weixi said coldly, “You sit in the front.”

I’m speechless, Li Yuan thought, but there’s no point in arguing with an angry woman. That would just be asking for trouble!

He got into the passenger seat. The taxi driver glanced at the scene and seemed to want to say something, but he just pressed the accelerator instead, and the car shot off. In just twenty minutes, they arrived at the entrance of Xia University.

After getting out of the car, Li Yuan checked the time. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. I wonder if Zhong Tingyue has returned yet, he thought.

“You can go register by yourself. I have something to do,” Li Yuan said dismissively, preparing to leave.

Seeing that Li Yuan was really about to walk off, Bai Weixi panicked and yelled, “You jerk, Li Yuan! If you leave now, I’ll start crying right here for everyone to see!”

Li Yuan turned around, speechless. “We’re already at the university. What more do you want?”

Bai Weixi stared at him. “Take me to register!”

Li Yuan didn’t want to go. “No,” he replied bluntly.

“If you don’t take me, I’ll scream that you molested me!”

Li Yuan’s eyes widened as he looked at Bai Weixi, as if he were seeing her for the first time.

“Fine, okay!”

“And carry my luggage!”

Lost in thought, Bai Weixi let Li Yuan carry her suitcase and simply followed him onto the campus. She was an accounting major, a field dominated by women. Even the seniors helping at the reception desk were all female. They were all well-endowed, with impressive figures.

By this time in the afternoon, not many people were registering. When Li Yuan and Bai Weixi arrived at the registration point, a short, slightly plump senior girl noticed them. Her eyes went from the marks on Li Yuan’s lips and arm to Bai Weixi, who was following him closely. Covering her mouth, she let out a light chuckle.

Pretending to be annoyed, Li Yuan asked, “Senior, do I look that funny?”

Confronted with Li Yuan’s stern look, the plump senior panicked and quickly explained, “Ah, junior, I wasn’t laughing at you. I just happened to think of a really funny story.”

Li Yuan glanced at the clear bite mark on his arm and felt a dull ache in his lips. I managed to get a little payback, but my poor mouth and arm are going to hurt for a few days. I wonder if a human bite requires a rabies vaccine? I think this is the Year of the Dog… Does that mean biting is contagious?

Next to her, another, taller senior asked, “Junior, are you here to register? You’ll need your ID card and admission notice.”

Li Yuan stepped aside and pulled Bai Weixi forward. “Senior, she’s the one registering.”

The slightly plump senior was stunned the moment she saw Bai Weixi. This freshman is gorgeous, like a goddess! She’s the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. No makeup, completely natural… She has such a pure and beautiful aura. Even her tear-streaked face is lovely. When she saw Li Yuan standing to the side playing on his phone, she immediately felt indignant on the pretty girl’s behalf. Her boyfriend’s just playing on his phone while she’s crying? He didn’t even offer her a tissue. Tch, what a scumbag!

Bai Weixi finished registering quickly. She grabbed her suitcase and, seeing Li Yuan still immersed in his phone, grew even more infuriated. She turned and stormed off toward the campus by herself.

Li Yuan, engrossed in replying to a message, remained oblivious.

The message was from Xu Zhi, asking if he had picked up Bai Weixi yet and telling him to bring her over to hang out with them once she was registered.

Li Yuan replied: `Already picked her up, but I got bitten by a dog on the way. I need to rest for a few days…`

The tall senior kindly reminded him, “Hey, junior, your girlfriend just left. Are you still playing on your phone?”

Li Yuan was startled. He looked around and saw that Bai Weixi was indeed gone. Looking ahead, he could vaguely see her slender figure in the distance.

“Thanks, senior!”

“By the way, she’s not my girlfriend. I’m still single. Are you considering getting a boyfriend?”

Li Yuan winked at the senior, then quickly ran to catch up.

As soon as Li Yuan left, the slightly plump girl immediately began her rant. “Vivi, didn’t I tell you? Men are all trash. They’ve clearly been kissing, but he still claims he doesn’t have a girlfriend. I’m one hundred percent certain he’s a total scumbag.”

The tall girl, Vivi, didn’t argue. She also thought Li Yuan’s behavior was wrong, especially that last wink. He has such a beautiful and innocent girlfriend, and he made her cry. It’s bad enough he didn’t comfort her, but he just stood there playing on his phone.

The plump girl picked up Bai Weixi’s registration form and continued her critique. “Her name is Bai Weixi. It’s a nice name. It’s just a shame she has such terrible taste in men.”

Vivi fully agreed. “She really is blind!”

Li Yuan had just caught up with Bai Weixi when he saw something that made him frown. A slickly dressed upperclassman was hitting on Bai Weixi with a fawning smile.

For some reason, a nameless rage boiled up inside him. Damn it! I haven’t even had a taste of this seemingly innocent prize, and this guy thinks it’s his turn?

He stormed over, glared at the slick-looking upperclassman, and sneered, “Hey, senior. Just because you can’t get any of the senior girls, there’s no need to harass the freshmen, is there? Otherwise, people might think all the upperclassmen at Daxia University are just flashy posers!”

With that, he naturally took Bai Weixi’s suitcase, forcefully grabbed her hand, and smirked coldly at the other guy.

Zhang Xiuzhu felt as if he’d swallowed a fly. The smooth lines he had prepared were choked back in his throat. He was about to retort, but when he compared his own build to Li Yuan’s height and obvious muscles, he cursed inwardly. The difference in our combat power is a little too big… He gave up and said sulkily, “Ahem, miss, I’m a director in the Student Union. If you run into any trouble at school, you can call me. Here’s my business card.”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiuzhu expectantly pulled out a business card he’d had custom-made for fifty yuan and offered it to Bai Weixi.

Bai Weixi remained expressionless. Fuming, she looked up at Li Yuan. Just as she was about to take the card, Li Yuan snatched it first.

He glanced at it: `Zhang Xiuzhu, Publicity Director, Daxia University Student Union`, followed by a phone number.

Heh, he’s young but has a massive ego, getting business cards made… you’d think he was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Of course, he could just be a glorified salesman. Isn’t that what the Student Union’s Publicity Department does anyway?

Li Yuan clenched his fist, the bones grinding together. He gave the upperclassman a tight smile. “Thanks, senior. I’ll keep your card. I’ll be sure to come to you for… ’guidance’… in the future.”

Seeing Li Yuan holding Bai Weixi’s hand, Zhang Xiuzhu knew she was taken. Cursing his bad luck, he slinked away.

Bai Weixi yanked her hand back, her gaze fixed sharply on Li Yuan. “Li Yuan, what’s our relationship? What gives you the right to interfere with me making friends?”

Li Yuan shrugged. “We’re just classmates. What else could we be?”

Hearing “just classmates,” Bai Weixi fumed. ’Just classmates’? After what he did to me, he dares to say we’re ’just classmates’?

“’Just classmates’? Li Yuan, you’re a complete bastard!”
