Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 171 - 110: Casual Move Calls for Conquest (Subscription and Monthly Votes Wanted)_2
Just like Sweetheart Cult Master Wang Xinling, who is perfectly suited for sweet songs, she can still deliver a nostalgia hit with her song "Love You" even when she is past forty, quickly becoming a nationwide sensation. That’s the charm of a voice.
After Little Fish finished singing, Li Yuan couldn’t help but burst into applause.
"Little Fish, you were born to sing," Li Yuan said. "I believe with these two songs, if you release an album, it’s bound to be a national hit."
Little Fish hugged Li Yuan’s arm. "It’s all because the songs Xia Hua wrote are so good. The melody was ready-made and fits the lyrics perfectly."
Just as Li Yuan was about to respond, a fragrant whiff of women’s perfume drifted past him.
A voice arrived before its owner. "Zhiyu, so you’re hiding here singing with your boyfriend."
"Hurry up and introduce us to your boyfriend!" another chimed in.
Seeing her roommates suddenly appear, Jiang Zhiyu’s face flushed red. She gracefully stood up and made the introductions.
"Qingqing, Ruoxue, Pingping, this is my boyfriend, Li Yuan."
Li Yuan did not deny being her boyfriend. He also stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Hello, ladies."
Once Li Yuan was standing, Xie Ping, Li Qingqing, and Zhang Ruoxue scrutinized him from head to toe, as if they were interrogating a criminal.
Li Yuan was the ruggedly handsome, muscular type. While not devastatingly good-looking, he exuded an extreme self-confidence that made Li Qingqing and the other girls nod in silent approval.
So this is Zhiyu’s boyfriend. He’s not only talented but also stylish and charismatic. No wonder she wasn’t impressed by the likes of Mr. Qin. Compared to this guy, Mr. Qin is a world away. If I were her, I’d have made the same choice.
Looking at Jiang Zhiyu, Zhang Ruoxue smiled. "Zhiyu, fess up. How did you and Handsome Li meet? You never mentioned him before."
"Yeah, this is so sudden!" Li Qingqing chimed in. "We only saw the news on Tieba and rushed over to see what this legendary boyfriend of yours looks like."
Jiang Zhiyu pouted playfully. "Hmph, Ruoxue, Qingqing, who says I never mentioned him? I used to talk about him all the time."
"You mentioned him all the time?" Xie Ping looked puzzled. As far as she could remember, Jiang Zhiyu had never mentioned Li Yuan. She did, however, frequently mention someone named "Xia Hua," which left Xie Ping confused about what she meant.
Zhang Ruoxue suddenly remembered that for the past few days, Jiang Zhiyu had been practicing a song in their dorm for the upcoming orientation party. It was a song written for her by "Xia Hua," a name that was constantly on her lips.
Could it be...?
Looking at Li Yuan, Zhang Ruoxue tentatively asked, "Xia Hua?"
Li Yuan’s expression turned odd. Isn’t ’Xia Hua’ Little Fish’s exclusive nickname for me? Just like how Zhong Tingyue likes to call me ’Senior,’ Bai Weixi calls me ’Brother,’ and Xia Zhijin calls me ’Boss’...
Before Li Yuan could speak, Little Fish shyly answered, "Mhm, Li Yuan is the Xia Hua I’m always talking about."
With Little Fish’s confirmation, it dawned on Zhang Ruoxue. No wonder she was always talking about Xia Hua—he was her boyfriend!
"Li Yuan, that ’Love Confession Balloon’ you wrote is just amazing! What’s the name of the song you were just singing?"
Li Yuan was startled and felt a wave of embarrassment. No way... Did Little Fish’s roommates hear me singing?
Feeling mortified, he clung to his last shred of hope and asked, "When did you guys get here? Did you hear everything?"
Li Qingqing’s giggly reply made Li Yuan’s heart sink.
"Li Yuan, we’ve been here for over ten minutes."
It’s over. I’m so socially dead now. Li Yuan lamented internally, the expression on his face priceless. Of all the things to be afraid of, this was it.
Little Fish giggled. "Hmph, Qingqing, so you guys were spying on us."
Zhang Ruoxue shook her phone and gave a meaningful look. "Zhiyu, we just came to witness this sweet moment between you and Li Yuan."
Xie Ping suddenly asked, "Talented Li, the song you just sang, did you write that too? What’s it called? It sounds really good. I feel like it’s just as good as ’Love Confession Balloon.’"
"I call this song ’Natural Beauty,’" Li Yuan said, forcing a calm smile as he braced himself. "It’s just something I wrote for fun. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you all."
Zhang Ruoxue exclaimed in admiration, "Talented Li, you’re too modest! The quality of ’Love Confession Balloon’ and ’Natural Beauty’ is more than enough to prove your talent. No wonder you managed to win our Zhiyu’s heart."
Li Qingqing also looked at Li Yuan, her eyes sparkling with a unique light. "Exactly! Talented Li, I can sing ’Love Confession Balloon,’ too. It’s written so well. When Zhiyu performs it at the orientation party, she’s definitely going to wow the entire audience."
Jiang Zhiyu suddenly said timidly, "Qingqing, Ruoxue, Pingping... um, I was the one who pursued Xia Hua."
At this revelation, her three roommates were stunned.
"Zhiyu, you pursued Talented Li?"
"I thought Li Yuan was the one who pursued you."
"Tell us! How did you pursue Li Yuan? I’m dying to know now."
"Zhiyu, you have more suitors at Ji University than you can count on both hands! To think you’d be the one pursuing a guy!"
"Li Yuan," one of them giggled, "what magic spell did you cast on our Zhiyu to make her chase after you?"
