Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 61

[Fu Wanyi: When will you arrive?]

In the dim, spacious private room, the overhead lights flickered with a kaleidoscope of colors, while deafening music filled the air.

After sending the message, Fu Wanyi put her phone away for the moment.

She hadn’t expected her neighbor’s friend’s cousin to hold her birthday party at a KTV this year. The slightly off-key singing around her gave her a headache, and she felt relieved she hadn’t brought Yun Li along. After all, Yun Li cherished quiet moments, it was hard to imagine her enduring hours in this enclosed space.

With that thought, Fu Wanyi couldn’t resist glancing at her phone again. No new messages had appeared in the chat with the contact labeled “Xie Yi.”

Is this jerk not coming after all?

She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples, unaware that her actions were being closely observed by a girl across the room.

The girl was strikingly beautiful, with delicate makeup and a chic little black dress. Her long, fair legs were crossed elegantly, and she wore black high heels adorned with silver accents.

She had been secretly watching Fu Wanyi for a while, no, to be precise, she had noticed her the moment she entered the KTV.

She had never believed in the nonsense of love at first sight, but the moment she laid eyes on Fu Wanyi, she suddenly understood what it meant to have one’s heart skip a beat.

Pursing her lips, which were painted with a muted rose-colored lipstick, she hesitated for a moment before finally standing up and walking toward Fu Wanyi.

Fu Wanyi was sitting in a corner with several empty seats beside her. The girl took the seat next to her.

Feeling someone sit down beside her, Fu Wanyi didn’t react at all, not even bothering to look up. Instead, she unlocked her phone again and stared at the chat with Xie Yi.

Why hasn’t this jerk replied yet?

Recalling Xie Yi’s unreliable nature, Fu Wanyi had a sinking feeling that she might be stood up today.

The thought dampened her mood for a moment.

“Hello.”

Even in the noisy room, Fu Wanyi, with her sharp hearing, caught the voice.

She looked up and saw a stranger sitting beside her.

Without a second thought, she knew the greeting had come from this unfamiliar girl. Out of politeness, Fu Wanyi nodded to her and, worried her voice might be drowned out, raised her volume slightly. “Hello, is there something I can help you with?”

Seeing Fu Wanyi respond, the girl’s eyes lit up. “I’m Hou Jiaying’s college roommate, Yun Yao. It’s my first time meeting you, may I ask your name?”

She wore a perfectly poised smile, her gaze fixed intently on Fu Wanyi’s beautiful face.

Yun Yao’s voice was partially drowned out by the loud singing, but Fu Wanyi still heard her clearly and replied calmly.

“Fu Wanyi.”

Such a gentle name!

It suits her perfectly!

That was Yun Yao’s first thought upon hearing Fu Wanyi’s name. The smile on her lips grew more genuine, and she was just about to ask for Fu Wanyi’s contact information when someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.

Yun Yao instinctively turned around and saw a girl with a boyish haircut, dressed entirely in black, looking down at her from above.

“Could you move aside?”

Yun Yao was momentarily stunned by the girl’s words. Before she could fully process them, Fu Wanyi’s voice reached her ears.

“You finally came.”

The moment Fu Wanyi saw Xie Yi, she genuinely breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness this one didn’t stand me up!

Hearing the familiarity in Fu Wanyi’s tone, Yun Yao couldn’t help but glance back at her. Unexpectedly, the girl dressed in all black spoke again: “Miss, could you make some room?”

Involuntarily, Yun Yao’s cheeks flushed, not from shyness, but from embarrassment.

Having been addressed twice in succession, even if Yun Yao was reluctant, she still shifted aside to make space for the girl in black.

Within moments, the black-clad girl had taken her seat.

Who is this person?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, the birthday girl, Hou Jiaying, came over and sat down.

“Cousin! I thought you weren’t coming!”

Hou Jiaying’s voice was loud. Yun Yao heard it and glanced over, catching the girl in black flashing a bright, cheerful smile.

“How could I miss your birthday?”

“Hahaha, I knew you were the best, cousin!” With that, Hou Jiaying extended a hand toward the girl in black.

The girl in black clicked her tongue in mock annoyance and placed a square gift box into Hou Jiaying’s palm.

“Thanks, cousin!” Hou Jiaying beamed with satisfaction. It was then that she noticed her roommate sitting beside her cousin. Considering her good relationship with Yun Yao, she took the initiative to introduce them. “Cousin, this is my roommate, Yun Yao. Isn’t she pretty?”

“She is quite pretty.” Xie Yi smiled at Yun Yao. “Hello, I’m Jiaying’s cousin, Xie Yi.”

“Hello, I’m Yun Yao.” Yun Yao returned a polite smile.

“Oh, and the one next to my cousin is her very good friend, Fu Wanyi.”

So, they’re just friends!

Hearing Hou Jiaying’s introduction, Yun Yao felt a wave of relief. Just as she was about to say something to Fu Wanyi, Hou Jiaying pulled her to her feet.

“Yun Yao, let’s go sing! Let my cousin and Sister Wanyi stay here. They don’t sing anyway!”

Unable to resist, Yun Yao had no choice but to follow Hou Jiaying to the center of the karaoke room.

Xie Yi watched them leave, only to suddenly hear Fu Wanyi’s gentle voice beside her.

“Care to explain?”

Abruptly, Xie Yi felt a chill run down her spine.

She turned with an awkward laugh. “Oh, come on, I was just a little late! There was traffic!”

“Traffic? At this hour?” Fu Wanyi’s tone was laced with skepticism.

“Ahem, y-yes!” Xie Yi’s smile grew even more strained. “Anyway, I’m here now, aren’t I? Don’t be mad, please.”

Then, Xie Yi abruptly changed the subject. “By the way, what was up with that girl earlier? Was she hitting on you?”

Xie Yi herself was quite attractive, but at that moment, with her exaggerated expressions, she looked rather comical.

Hearing Xie Yi’s words, Fu Wanyi frowned slightly. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Who’s talking nonsense? If I hadn’t been firm, that girl wouldn’t have even budged to make room!” Xie Yi pouted, then seemed to recall something, her smile turning suggestive. “That girl is really pretty though. Did she catch your eye?”

Pretty?

Fu Wanyi didn’t think so. In her eyes, her girlfriend was the most beautiful of all.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Where did I talk nonsense?” Xie Yi protested, but when she caught Fu Wanyi’s light glance, she suddenly backed down, rubbing her nose. “Fine, I won’t say it then.”

Fu Wanyi pretended not to hear her muttering. “How long are you staying this time?”

“Two days.”

Fu Wanyi nodded to show she understood.

“You’re just going to sit here like this?” Xie Yi asked again.

Fu Wanyi glanced sideways at her. “What else? Should I fight your mic-hogging cousin for the microphone?”

Thinking of her cousin’s personality, Xie Yi chuckled awkwardly. “Forget I said anything, forget I said anything.”

Fu Wanyi was about to say something but paused when she felt her phone vibrate. She looked down at the screen.

[Yun Li: When are you coming home?]

Seeing it was a message from Yun Li, Fu Wanyi’s expression unconsciously softened.

[Fu Wanyi: Not sure yet.]

[Fu Wanyi: Did you miss me?]

[Yun Li: Of course not!]

[Yun Li: [Hmph.JPG]]

Xie Yi noticed the change in Fu Wanyi’s demeanor. She wasn’t stupid, she clearly sensed something and widened her eyes slightly.

Her earlier teasing had been just that, but she never expected Fu Wanyi to actually be involved with someone!

Wow!

What had happened to Fu Wanyi in the few months she was abroad?

She was so curious!

Xie Yi couldn’t resist leaning in, but Fu Wanyi covered her phone and pressed a hand against Xie Yi’s shoulder to keep her from getting closer.

“What are you doing?”

“Me? What are you doing?”

Fu Wanyi remained composed. “What did I do?”

“Did you start dating someone behind my back?”

“I didn’t do it behind your back.”

Xie Yi’s eyes widened.

Wow, she didn’t even deny it! So that means…

She secretly got into a relationship?!

“You’re really dating someone?!”

Xie Yi’s voice rose, and if it weren’t for the loud music, everyone in the private room would have turned to look.

Fu Wanyi rubbed her ear. “Yeah, I am.”

Oh my god!

It’s true!

“When did this happen? Boyfriend or girlfriend?”

“On National Day. A girlfriend.”

It’s actually a girlfriend!

Xie Yi was even more surprised. “How did you meet? What’s her name?”

“Well, we met on A University’s freshman registration day. Her name is Yun Li.” As she mentioned Yun Li, Fu Wanyi’s expression softened again. “Isn’t her name beautiful?”

Xie Yi: “…”

Suddenly felt her teeth ache from the sweetness.

But Xie Yi quickly grasped the key point.

“A University’s freshman registration day? No way, no way, is your girlfriend a freshman?”

“Congratulations, you got it right, but no reward.” Perhaps from spending so much time with Yun Li, she had picked up her way of talking.

Xie Yi: “…”

She was speechless again and couldn’t help scrutinizing Fu Wanyi from head to toe.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Just thinking how beastly you are, hooking up with a freshman. You’re really an old cow eating tender grass!”

Fu Wanyi: “…”

This time, it was Fu Wanyi’s turn to be speechless.

She forced a smile. “I’m not that old, okay?”

She was only 20 this year, how was that “an old cow eating tender grass”?

“If you don’t know how to use words properly, then don’t use them.”

If it weren’t for her upbringing telling her not to, she would have rolled her eyes at Xie Yi.

Uh…

Well, that’s true.

Xie Yi looked awkward for a moment, but soon she composed herself and smiled. “Since you’re off the market now, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal? Bring your girlfriend along, I’d like to meet her.”

She was very eager to see Fu Wanyi’s girlfriend, curious about how she had managed to win Fu Wanyi over.

“A meal is fine, but I’ll have to ask my junior first.”

Xie Yi raised an eyebrow. “You still need to ask? Are you that whipped?”

“It’s called respect.”

“Alright, alright, respect it is. But now that you’re together, why are you still calling her ‘junior’? Is it some kind of roleplay thing between you two?”

Fu Wanyi: “…”

At the mention of this, the tips of Fu Wanyi’s ears grew warm. Fortunately, the dim lighting in the private room hid her reaction from Xie Yi.

“It’s just a habit.”

Come to think of it, Yun Li had always called her “senior,” and she had grown used to it, never asking her to change. As for whether it was some kind of roleplay… probably not, right?

Though she thought so, Fu Wanyi wasn’t entirely sure.

Maybe next time, she could ask her junior to call her by her name?

She had never heard Yun Li say her name before.

The thought made Fu Wanyi’s heart flutter with anticipation.

Unaware of Fu Wanyi’s thoughts, Xie Yi suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you invite her out now? We can grab some late-night snacks together.”

Without hesitation, Fu Wanyi refused. “No.”

“Why not? Why are you hiding her?”

It’s not like she’s someone you should be ashamed of!

Xie Yi glared at her.

“I said no.”

“Why not?”

“My junior goes to bed early. If she goes out for late-night snacks with you, she’ll definitely be up half the night.”

Xie Yi: “…”

How considerate!

“Fine, then let’s have a meal tomorrow.”

“I’ll ask my junior first.”

“Go ahead and ask.”

Seeing Xie Yi staring at her intently, Fu Wanyi felt helpless. Of course, she also wanted her junior to meet her good friend, so she picked up her phone and sent a message to Yun Li.

[Fu Wanyi: Junior, are you free for a meal tomorrow?]

After sending the message, Fu Wanyi waited for Yun Li’s reply.

Just then, a dark head leaned over and peeked at her phone screen.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’ve saved her contact as ‘Junior’? You really are into that senior-junior roleplay, aren’t you?”

Fu Wanyi expressionlessly pushed Xie Yi’s head away.

“Buzz…”

Her phone vibrated.

Fu Wanyi glanced at the screen.

[Yun Li: What made you think of going out for a meal?]

[Fu Wanyi: My friend is back from abroad, and she wants to meet you.]

Seeing this message, Yun Li unconsciously furrowed her brows.

Fu Wanyi’s friend?

Should she meet her or not?

Yun Li hesitated.

Seeing that she hadn’t replied for a while, Fu Wanyi seemed to sense her hesitation and sent another message.

[Fu Wanyi: If you don’t want to, it’s fine. I’ll turn her down.]

For some reason, seeing this message made Yun Li feel a little embarrassed.

After thinking it over, she decided to meet Fu Wanyi’s friend.

[Yun Li: Let’s meet, then.]

[Yun Li: You two can pick the restaurant.]

Seeing Yun Li’s agreement, Fu Wanyi’s eyes curved into a smile.

Xie Yi had been watching Fu Wanyi’s expression and knew from her reaction that the other party had agreed.

“So? Your precious junior agreed, didn’t she?”

Fu Wanyi shot her a sidelong glance.

“Be serious tomorrow, don’t scare anyone off.”

Xie Yi couldn’t help but touch her own face. “I am serious!”

Fu Wanyi didn’t believe Xie Yi’s nonsense. “Be serious.”

“Alright, alright, I get it. I won’t scare your precious junior!”

The more Fu Wanyi cared, the more curious Xie Yi became about what kind of person Yun Li was.

Xie Yi and Fu Wanyi didn’t sing, and they didn’t stay for long either. After about an hour, they said goodbye to Hou Jiaying, who was still in high spirits, and left the KTV.

Hou Jiaying wasn’t surprised and just waved them off. However, Yun Yao, sitting beside her, seemed to want to say something but ultimately could only watch Fu Wanyi leave in silence.

…

[Fu Wanyi: I’m home.]

At half past ten, Fu Wanyi sent a message to Yun Li.

Yun Li was already extremely tired by then, but upon seeing Fu Wanyi’s message, she mustered her energy to reply.

[Yun Li: Okay, I see.]

[Fu Wanyi: I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon. You should go to sleep now.]

She knew Yun Li’s sleep schedule well and understood that she must be very tired by then, so she urged her to rest.

On the other end of the phone, Yun Li covered her mouth as she yawned and slowly replied to Fu Wanyi’s message.

[Yun Li: Alright, what about you?]

[Fu Wanyi: I’ll go to bed after I shower.]

[Yun Li: Got it. Then I’ll go to sleep now!]

[Fu Wanyi: Go ahead. Good night.]

[Yun Li: Good night.]

Yun Li put down her phone, closed her eyes, and within minutes, she was fast asleep.

…

“Yun Li, are you going out?”

The next day at 5 p.m., Qiu Jingmei noticed Yun Li wearing a light green dress she had never seen before. The fresh color complemented her snow-white skin, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Hearing Qiu Jingmei’s voice, Yun Li turned her head. By then, she had already applied foundation and was about to fill in her eyebrows.

“Yes, I’m going out for dinner.”

“With whom?” Bei Qingqing couldn’t help but ask.

“With my senior.”

Bei Qingqing and the others still didn’t know that Yun Li was in a relationship, assuming only that she and Fu Wanyi were very close.

“You two have such a good relationship,” Bei Qingqing said with a hint of envy.

Yun Li merely smiled in response.

They were a couple now, of course, their relationship was good.

Naturally, there was no need to elaborate on this to Bei Qingqing.

By the time she finished her makeup, it was 5:30 p.m.

Seeing that Fu Wanyi hadn’t sent her a message yet, Yun Li took out her phone, snapped a few selfies in the mirror, and admired them for a while.

Just then, a message came from someone named “Ming Shu.”

[Ming Shu: There’s a photoshoot next Tuesday. Can you make it?]

This “Ming Shu” was none other than the staff member from the online store with whom Yun Li had exchanged contact information.

[Yun Li: What time?]

[Ming Shu: The shoot starts at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.]

Yun Li opened her class schedule and saw that she had classes on Tuesday afternoon, so she had no choice but to decline the photoshoot.

[Yun Li: Sorry, I have classes next Tuesday. I can’t make it.]

Ming Shu knew Yun Li was a student at A University and wasn’t surprised by the rejection. She replied:

[Ming Shu: Alright, I understand. If there are any weekend shoots, I’ll let you know.]

[Yun Li: Okay, thank you, Ming Shu.]

[Ming Shu: You’re welcome.]

After ending the conversation with Ming Shu, Yun Li was about to put her phone down when Fu Wanyi sent a message.

[Fu Wanyi: Junior, is there any drink you’d like?]

Yun Li thought for a moment before replying.

[Yun Li: I feel like having taro milk tea today!]

[Fu Wanyi: Alright, got it.]

[Yun Li: [Cute][Cute][Cute]]

[Fu Wanyi: I should be there in about ten minutes. You can head out now.]

[Yun Li: Got it~]

After replying to Fu Wanyi, Yun Li stood up, grabbed the small square bag hanging on her wardrobe, and slung it over her shoulder.

“Girls, I’m heading out.”

“Be careful on your way.”

After saying goodbye to her three roommates, Yun Li leisurely left the dorm.

It took fifteen minutes to walk from the girls’ dormitory to the back gate of the school. When Yun Li arrived, she immediately spotted Fu Wanyi’s light silver SUV.

She quickly walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

As soon as she sat down, a chilled cup of taro milk tea was handed to her.

Yun Li instinctively broke into a smile, took the milk tea from Fu Wanyi, inserted the straw, and took a few big sips.

“It’s so good!”

“I’m glad you like it.”

“Would you like to try some?” Yun Li offered the milk tea to Fu Wanyi.

Seeing this, Fu Wanyi leaned over and took a sip. “Mm, it is quite good. Should I get you another cup next time?”

“We’ll see.”

“Hmm?”

“There are so many delicious milk tea flavors, we shouldn’t stick to just one.”

Seeing how seriously Yun Li said this, Fu Wanyi couldn’t help but chuckle.

Fu Wanyi then turned the steering wheel, preparing to drive Yun Li to the restaurant.

Noticing this, Yun Li asked, “Where are we going to eat?”

“Fubaiju, a private kitchen.”

Yun Li recalled this private kitchen, Fu Wanyi had mentioned it before, but at the time, she had chosen Shanyue Xiaochu instead.

“Okay.” Yun Li nodded. “By the way, Senior, you mentioned last night that your friend just returned from abroad?”

“Yes, she’s been studying at a university in the UK.”

“Did she come back for her cousin’s birthday party?”

“You could say that.”

“Their cousinly bond is really strong.”

Though she said this, Yun Li didn’t feel the slightest bit envious.

Fu Wanyi hummed softly in response.

“Senior, could you tell me a bit about your friend?”

“Well, my friend’s name is Xie Yi. You could say we grew up together, her family lives next door to mine.”

“I see.”

“She has a pretty good personality, but she’s a bit unconventional. Don’t be startled when you meet her later.”

Unconventional?

Yun Li blinked curiously. “I’m not that easily scared.”

“Alright, alright, my mistake.”

Yun Li smiled, pressing her lips together.

Half an hour later, Fu Wanyi brought Yun Li to Fubaiju.

Fubaiju was decorated in the style of a Suzhou garden, with lush bamboo planted at the entrance.

At first glance, Yun Li fell in love with the decor. She couldn’t resist taking out her phone to snap a few photos.

Fu Wanyi wasn’t surprised by her actions. At that moment, she checked her phone and saw a message from Xie Yi.

Xie Yi had already arrived and was waiting for them in the private room.

“Senior, I’m done taking photos.”

“Good, let’s head to the private room.”

Without needing a waiter to guide her, Fu Wanyi led Yun Li familiarly to the private room.

Arriving at the door of the private room Xie Yi had mentioned, Fu Wanyi pushed it open and entered.

Inside, Xie Yi heard the noise and looked up. Seeing her friend opening the door, she then watched as her friend stepped aside to make way for the person behind her.

In no time at all, a girl in a light green dress glided gracefully into the room. She was exceptionally beautiful, arguably the most stunning person Xie Yi had ever seen. Her peach-blossom eyes, in particular, seemed to speak volumes, and unconsciously, a flash of admiration crossed Xie Yi’s gaze as her own eyes widened slightly.

My god, is this Fu Wanyi’s girlfriend?

Wow, she actually managed to land such a gorgeous girlfriend!

Xie Yi was utterly envious.
