Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 261 - 133: Ji University Welcome Party, Little Fish Gets Jealous_5

Li Yuan cradled the guitar and gently strummed the strings. He was gradually getting the feel for it, suddenly thinking he might actually have some musical talent.

"Xia Hua, I think if you practice a bit more and learn some sheet music, you could totally debut."

Little Fish gazed at Li Yuan with admiration, her eyes brimming with deep affection.

She giggled, imagining what it would be like to perform on stage with Li Yuan. "When the time comes, I’ll form a duo with you, Xia Hua. We’ll pick a great name and break into the music scene together."

Li Yuan smiled as well. Music really was quite interesting.

If language is a tool for communication, then music is the window to the soul. A good song can easily stir a person’s emotions and drive them wild...

"Xia Hua, the freshman welcome party is about to start. Let’s go."

By the time Li Yuan and Jiang Zhiyu arrived, the large square in front of Ji University’s cafeteria was already packed solid. A dense crowd surrounded the area in several rings, the overwhelming majority of them being male. There were significantly fewer girls, a stark contrast to Xia University.

Li Yuan recalled similar scenes from his past life at Modu University of Technology.

Except for universities specializing in fields like education, medicine, music, or art, comprehensive universities with a science focus like Ji University usually had a higher male-to-female ratio.

Recalling the scenes at Xia University when classes let out, Li Yuan couldn’t help but remark, "Little Fish, the male-to-female ratio at your school is pretty dramatic."

"Ji University is actually not so bad," Jiang Zhiyu replied with a giggle. "It’s much better than those purely engineering or science universities."

"Xia Hua, there must be a lot of pretty girls at Xia University, right? Have any of them pursued you?"

Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, but he asked calmly, "Little Fish, why do you ask?"

Jiang Zhiyu clutched Li Yuan’s hand. Batting her eyelashes and pouting, she said coquettishly, "Xia Hua is so outstanding, there must be tons of girls who like you. I just want to see who my rivals are."

Li Yuan gave an awkward laugh. He looked at Little Fish, really wanting to tell her that she didn’t just have rivals—she had three of them. And each one was a school beauty on par with her.

Li Yuan gave a noncommittal answer. "Of course there are girls who pursue me, just like there are plenty of boys who pursue you at your school."

Just as Little Fish was about to press further, she heard the voices of her roommates, Zhang Ruoxue and Li Qingqing.

"Zhiyu! Talented Li! We finally found you guys!"

Li Yuan smiled and greeted Little Fish’s three roommates, "Hello, ladies."

Zhang Ruoxue sized up Li Yuan with a playful grin. "Big Writer Li, you’re not doing a very good job as a boyfriend. You don’t visit Zhiyu nearly enough."

Li Qingqing also snickered and chimed in, "Zhiyu talks about you nonstop in the dorm."

Li Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. I’m already stretched thin trying to spend time with my three girlfriends—Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Xia Zhijin. How could I possibly have time to come to Ji University and be with Little Fish?

"Haha, my bad. I’ll definitely try to come more often from now on."

"Big Writer Li, come sit with us," Zhang Ruoxue said with a laugh. "We saved you a seat over there."

Li Yuan looked at Little Fish.

Jiang Zhiyu pouted, reluctant to let go of Li Yuan’s hand. "Xia Hua, I need to go back to the dorm to change and get ready backstage. You can watch the show with Ruoxue and the others first."

Li Yuan nodded.

The Ji University freshman welcome party soon got underway.

After opening speeches from the university leaders, the show moved swiftly through various acts, including dances, crosstalk, skits, recitations, and choir performances. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Li Yuan watched with great interest, his anticipation for Little Fish’s performance growing even stronger.

A beautiful hostess in an evening gown stepped to the center of the stage and announced loudly, "Next, let’s welcome sophomore music performance student Jiang Zhiyu, who will be performing her original song, ’Love Confession Balloon’! Please give her a round of applause!"

The hostess’s words had barely faded when the entire square erupted into a roar, followed by thunderous applause.

[School Beauty Jiang is coming on! Let’s get hyped, brothers! My goddess is definitely taking first place!]

[Where’s the digital camera? I’m going to take tons of gorgeous photos of Goddess Jiang to treasure forever!]

[School Beauty Jiang’s original song is called "Love Confession Balloon"? I love it! I get it now, she’s confessing to me...!]

[I’m really curious about what kind of outfit my music goddess will wear for her performance today.]

[I really hope she’s wearing black stockings. If Goddess Jiang wears black stockings, she’ll be the most beautiful woman in the world...]

Zhang Ruoxue excitedly nudged Li Yuan’s arm. "Big Writer Li, look! Zhiyu’s about to come on stage."

Listening to the chatter around him, Li Yuan quickly turned his gaze to the stage.

Jiang Zhiyu’s figure emerged from backstage, walking toward the center of the stage.
