Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Novel

Li Yuan awakens to his second chance in 2008's graduation season, only to find himself at the exact moment of his confession to Bai Weixi, the school's most coveted beauty. Her measured response cuts through: "I appreciate your feelings truly, but I'm not prepared for a relationship at this time."

Without pause, Li Yuan extends his hand. "Return my gift to me then."

Bai Weixi's eyes widen in shock. "What are you saying, Li Yuan?"

"You rejected me yet want to keep what I gave you? That's unreasonable," he states coldly.

"We're best friends!" she insists desperately.

"Best friends?" His laughter turns sharp. "I have plenty of those around. What I'm lacking is a girlfriend."

As Bai Weixi stands disheveled before him, her composure crumbling, Li Yuan pivots with calculated intent. "Actually, there's one more thing—could you provide your best friend's contact?"

Bai Weixi's rage ignites. "Li Yuan, what exactly are you planning?"

Li Yuan's indifferent shrug speaks volumes. "It's straightforward really. She possesses greater beauty than you do, so I've decided to pursue her instead."
