Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 589 - 212: Welcome Madam to Inspect the Work, Naming the Milk Tea Brand_4

Li Yuan’s right hand rested on Zhong Tingyue’s long, silk-stockinged thigh. He smirked, giving her a meaningful look.

"Little Moon, what do you say?"

Zhong Tingyue deciphered his gaze and glared at him. "You lecherous Senior!" As she spoke, she began to stammer, "Um, Senior... that time of the month... it came today. So I’m afraid I can’t."

Li Yuan looked startled. "Your period came?"

"Mhm!" Zhong Tingyue whispered, stealing glances at his reaction, terrified he might get angry.

Seeing her cautious demeanor, Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile. He stroked her head and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

When Zhong Tingyue saw that he wasn’t disappointed but was instead concerned for her, the worry in her eyes vanished, replaced with a bright, happy smile.

"Mhm, it hurts a bit. It came a little early this time."

Li Yuan pulled the car over to the side of the road, moved his hand, and placed it on her lower abdomen, rubbing it gently.

Zhong Tingyue was a bit confused by his actions. "Senior, what are you doing?"

While gently massaging her stomach, Li Yuan answered earnestly, "I read once that when a girl is on her period, gently rubbing her lower abdomen in a clockwise direction can help relieve some of the pain."

Zhong Tingyue burst out laughing, swaying so much that Li Yuan found his eyes glued to her.

"Senior, I thought you were going to tell me to drink more hot water!"

Li Yuan smiled wryly. In his past life, that was indeed what he used to say.

"Actually, drinking some brown sugar water might be more effective. I’ll pop into the campus store later and get you some."

Zhong Tingyue’s gaze was fixed on Li Yuan as she savored his massage. She let out a playful huff. "Senior, you seem to know quite a lot. Come on, spill. Have you said this to other girls before?"

Li Yuan coughed lightly and swore, "No, you’re the first."

Zhong Tingyue leaned in closer, her pearly teeth showing as her lips parted slightly. "Really? You never said it to Weixi?"

Li Yuan found it a bit strange; Zhong Tingyue seemed more jealous today than usual.

"Ahem, I used to just tell her to drink more hot water."

Zhong Tingyue giggled and rolled her eyes at him, huffing playfully. "Such a dense guy. No wonder Weixi didn’t say yes to you in high school."

"Senior, I’m a little curious. How did you become so eloquent and glib in college?"

Li Yuan laughed heartily. "Didn’t I tell you before? I had a very realistic dream. When I woke up, I just knew how to do all this."

Hearing Li Yuan mention the dream again, Zhong Tingyue felt a fresh wave of questions rise in her mind, but she didn’t pursue them. Since she had chosen to accept this reality, she would face it and embrace it head-on.

"Senior, are we still having lunch together?"

"Of course we are, why wouldn’t we?" Li Yuan asked in surprise. "Let’s head to the cafeteria now."

Zhong Tingyue smiled, her face lit with happiness.

Soon, the car pulled up to the cafeteria entrance. Li Yuan lifted his hand from her abdomen. He got out first and walked around to the passenger side. He gave a slight bow, extending his hand with a smile.

"The most beautiful princess in the world, please alight!"

Zhong Tingyue placed her hand in his, her lovely face brimming with youthful vibrancy.

After having lunch with Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan walked her to the entrance of the women’s dormitory.

Watching her cling to his hand, clearly unwilling to part, Li Yuan sighed softly to himself. If Zhong Tingyue were my only girlfriend, I would probably spend the entire day with just her. Not like now, where even the time we get to spend alone together is cut into tiny fragments.

Zhong Tingyue reluctantly let go of his hand. "Senior, go do what you need to do. I’ll just rest in my dorm for a while."

"Okay. I’ll watch you go upstairs."

"Then I’m going up! Bye-bye, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

Once Zhong Tingyue’s figure vanished from sight, Li Yuan pulled himself together, got back in the car, and sped toward home.
