GL My Goddess Best Friend’s Seduction (H) - Chapter 30

The slice of beef tongue I was holding dropped from my chopsticks in shock.

What? Lan Yun is Si Jingnian’s girlfriend?

Has Si Jingnian ever liked girls before?

Does that mean I might have a chance? That was my first thought.

I quickly pushed that idea out of my mind.

Even if she had liked girls before, it didn’t mean she would like me.

But didn’t Si Jingnian say she didn’t like girls? How could she have a girlfriend?

She wouldn’t lie to me, right?

I was still lost in thought when Li Xian burst out laughing, a loud string of hahahaha.

Only then did I realize I had fallen for it. This jerk was messing with me.

I glared at Li Xian with venom in my eyes, but he just kept laughing wildly, completely ignoring my expression.

After laughing until he was out of breath, he wiped away his tears. “My bad, hahaha, just messing with you.”

“But let me tell you, Jingnian only sees Lan Yun as a friend. It’s Lan Yun who has always liked Jingnian.”

“So she’s a love rival…” I murmured softly.

“What was that?” Li Xian’s reply startled me. I thought I had said that to myself, but I must have said it out loud.

I quickly checked his expression. His black-as-night eyes were sharp, and I instinctively lowered my head to avoid his gaze.

I felt like he had seen right through me.

I was frantic, nervous to the point of trembling, like ten thousand ants were crawling across my body.

I didn’t know what I looked like from his point of view.

From my own perspective, I was shaking like a leaf.

“What did you just say? You spoke too softly. I didn’t catch it.” Li Xian’s words saved me.

I gradually stopped trembling and explained, “Just didn’t expect girls would chase after Jingnian.”

“Oh, you don’t say. Back in the States, girls chasing after her were a dime a dozen.” Li Xian latched onto the new topic. “You wouldn’t believe it. Us guys were all jealous of Si Jingnian. Those girls chasing her were all drop-dead gorgeous, amazing figures. One of them was even a state beauty queen from California. Si Jingnian never wavered.”

“She was that popular?” I imagined girls fighting to win her over, but my heart didn’t ripple at all.

What did it matter to me?

I drank three cans of beer during dinner, and in the restaurant, I didn’t feel dizzy.

Once I stepped outside and caught a breeze, I felt completely out of it. My head felt like it had doubled in size.

Li Xian hailed a cab and dropped me off downstairs. He asked if I was okay going up by myself. I said I was fine, I could manage.

I staggered into the room and took a shower.

Lying in bed, my mind was a chaotic mess. I had been drinking so much lately.

My head was crowded with scattered thoughts. I picked up my phone and checked WeChat.

Then my phone slipped from my hand and smacked me right on the nose. It hurt.

I opened Si Jingnian’s chat, intending to tell her I was moving out.

In the end, I backed out.

I opened Jiang Yiyi’s chat window, wanting to vent a little. But in the end, I didn’t dare say anything.

I fell asleep with a heart full of unresolved feelings.

The next morning, I woke up at 9. I was already late for work.

Plus, my head was pounding from the alcohol last night.

Luckily, there were no classes this morning. I called my supervisor to take the day off and said I’d bring in the leave note when I returned.

She said that was fine and told me to rest well.

After hanging up, I checked my call history.

To my horror, I saw that around midnight, I had a 15-minute call with Si Jingnian!!!!

Oh god. What did I say to her on the phone!!

I buried my phone under my pillow.

I was so anxious I was scratching my head raw.

What should I do? What if I confessed to her last night?

I pulled the pillow over my head, refusing to face the world, spiraling into my own thoughts.

If only there were a hole in the ground to swallow me up.

I felt a kind of anxiety I had never known before.

I had no idea what to do.

I didn’t dare call Si Jingnian back to ask what I said last night.

I cautiously unlocked my phone and found she hadn’t messaged me on WeChat.

Could it be that she had already blocked me?

Maybe right after my drunken confession?

Should I try sending a message to see if it goes through?

I opened her chat window, but I didn’t dare type anything. I exited the window.

I couldn’t bring myself to send anything, and I didn’t know what to say.

Drinking is dangerous. It makes you do things you have no memory of.

I am never drinking recklessly again.

I pulled the covers over my head, still not knowing what to do.

I don’t know how much time passed, but my phone started ringing.

The sound startled me, making all the hairs on my body stand on end. I trembled as I pulled out my phone. It wasn’t Si Jingnian.

It was a call from Jiang Yiyi.

I answered.

“Hello?” I weakly greeted.

“Well?”
“Well what?”

“What happened?? Didn’t you say you were going to confess last night? Did you forget?” Jiang Yiyi was yelling at me over the phone.

Her words confirmed my worst fear. I really did call Si Jingnian to confess last night.

I hung up and dropped to my knees on the bed, curling up into a little shrimp, banging my head against the nightstand.

I hoped the pain would wake me up a little.

I really confessed last night.

How could I have done something like that?

What was Si Jingnian’s reaction? Did she turn me down and tell me not to get the wrong idea?

Or did she say she didn’t want to be friends anymore?

Or maybe she decided not to come back from her business trip??

I ignored the phone when it rang again and stayed lost in my chaotic little world.

And I told Jiang Yiyi about my plan to confess. So annoying.

I don’t even remember what happened last night. I hope Jiang Yiyi didn’t think I was too much.

Wasn’t she surprised to hear I liked Si Jingnian?

Leaving Jiang Yiyi’s reaction aside, what was Si Jingnian’s reaction?

My head felt like it was going to explode.

I opened my phone and called Jiang Yiyi. Since she already knew, I might as well talk to her about it.

She picked up right away and immediately let me have it. “You little brat, what the hell! You called me in the middle of the night saying you were going to confess and told me to ask you about it in the morning. Now I call and you hang up on me? I swear, you’ve lost your mind.”

I rubbed my pounding temples and replied, “Keep it down. My head hurts.”

“Fine, but tell me what happened.” Her voice dropped a bit.

“I don’t know if she said yes or not. I have zero memory. I was totally drunk.”

“What?!” Jiang Yiyi’s voice shot up again.

“Stop yelling. I don’t know what to do either.” I moved the phone away from my ear. “I wasn’t planning to confess. I just wanted to bury this feeling deep in my heart. I didn’t expect… alcohol really messes things up.”

“Come on, if you like her, just go for it. What are you afraid of? Good things get snatched up fast. If you don’t try, how will you know you’ll fail?”

“But Jingnian has a boyfriend. Wouldn’t I just be the other woman, ruining their relationship? And she’s even said before she doesn’t like girls…”

“What!!!!!!” I heard a loud thud on the other end, then came Jiang Yiyi’s dragon roar.

I winced and held the phone away from my ear.

“You’re in love with Si Jingnian?!” Jiang Yiyi was still yelling.

Wait, what? Didn’t I tell her?

This is so embarrassing.

I was now officially coming out.

“Uh, didn’t I say last night I was confessing to Si Jingnian?”

“No! You! Didn’t!” Jiang Yiyi took a deep breath and started grilling me. “You never told me if the person was a guy or girl! When did you start liking her?!”

“That’s not the point. What matters now is how Si Jingnian reacted. What if she doesn’t want to be around me anymore?”

“That is important! You better explain yourself!”

“Alright. I don’t even know when it started. Lately, I’ve just always wanted to be close to her. I even dream about her…”

“Wow, An Xiaoyu, you even have wet dreams about her?! What did Si Jingnian do to you in your dream? Wait, no, what did you do to her?!”

I shut my mouth and refused to answer.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t help you figure out what to do.”

“Come on, it was just a normal dream… don’t ask, it’s embarrassing.” I got flustered when she said she wouldn’t help, so I quickly stopped her.

Jiang Yiyi grumbled but let me off the hook.

We discussed it for a while, wondering what I might have said to Si Jingnian during that 15-minute call. Should I try asking her?

In the end, we decided against it. After all, I didn’t remember anything.

If she already rejected me, I could just play dumb.

I’d see how she acted after she got back.

We were wrapping up the conversation when Jiang Yiyi sighed on the other end. “Unbelievable. I can’t believe you’re into Si Jingnian, the goddess of all women.”

My face turned red, but I couldn’t refute her.

“Actually, I kind of suspected it.” Jiang Yiyi suddenly said.

“Why?” Was I that obvious?

“Do you remember after our senior year reunion, we never let you drink again?”

“Yeah.” I remembered it clearly. Everyone had warned me never to drink again. I didn’t know what I had done that night. Did I pee on the floor or something?

“Turns out we were right. If you hadn’t drunk, none of this would’ve happened.”

“No, I think it was fate,” Jiang Yiyi said. “Your first time drinking, you force-kissed Si Jingnian. This time, you confessed to her. Must be destiny.”

“I kissed her?!” My jaw nearly dislocated from shock.

I had no memory of that night.

“Yes. Si Jingnian was helping drunk you stand up, and you bit her cheek. Then you kissed her lips. In front of the whole class. Everyone was stunned.”

“What?!”

“Right then, we all agreed to never bring it up again. We were afraid Si Jingnian would get mad and hit someone.”

“You left a huge bite mark on her right cheek. It even bled a little.”

“Oh no… that must have really hurt. No wonder she said she was busy every time I asked her to hang out afterwards.” I remembered how she turned me down when I invited her to the nature park after the reunion.

“Yeah, you nearly disfigured her. Of course she didn’t dare meet up with you.”

I feel so sorry, Si Jingnian…

“But right now your situation is so awkward. You confessed when she already has a boyfriend and has clearly said she doesn’t like girls. That was really, really dumb.”
