Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 264 - 134 Li Yuan Takes the Stage to Sing, Creating a Huge Sensation_3
The host looked at Li Yuan, a flash of surprise in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Jiang Zhiyu’s mysterious boyfriend to be so handsome and well-built.
"Young man, would you be willing to come on stage and sing a duet with your girlfriend?"
Li Yuan met Jiang Zhiyu’s expectant gaze and sighed inwardly. He couldn’t bear to refuse such a look.
If I refuse now, it’ll probably hurt Little Fish’s feelings.
Damn it, I’m going all out this time.
Holding the flowers, Li Yuan mustered his courage and made his way through the crowd toward the stage, enduring the stares of countless people.
Seeing Li Yuan actually coming on stage, the host lifted her microphone and once again stirred up the atmosphere.
"Everyone, let’s give Xia Hua a round of applause for encouragement!"
The crowd immediately burst into warm applause.
[Go, Xia Hua!]
[Go, Xia Hua!]
[Go, Xia Hua!]
Hearing the cheers, Li Yuan thought it was strange. The students of Ji University must think my name is Xia Hua.
Li Yuan stepped onto the stage and handed the flowers to Little Fish.
"Little Fish, these are for you."
Jiang Zhiyu hadn’t expected Li Yuan to actually be willing to come up on stage and sing with her. At that moment, she was moved beyond words. Gazing at Li Yuan with deep affection, she rushed forward under the watchful eyes of the entire audience and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, Xia Hua, for coming on stage for me."
After speaking, she gave Li Yuan a quick peck on the cheek, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.
The roar from the crowd grew even louder.
[Holy crap, School Beauty Jiang actually gave him a kiss in public! No way, I’m going to kill this guy. Why him?! My heart is shattered into 108 pieces. I’m so sad I could cry...]
[My Goddess! AHHH! You’ve thrown yourself into another’s arms after all. I hereby declare myself dead. If you need me, burn some paper offerings.]
[What’s so good about this guy? He’s just a bit taller and has some talent, but otherwise, he seems completely ordinary. What on earth did the Music Goddess see in him? Ugh, I can’t accept it!]
Down in the audience, many of Jiang Zhiyu’s male fans wailed and cried out in despair after seeing their Goddess initiate a kiss.
Zhang Ruoxue, Li Qingqing, and a few other girls were busy with their digital cameras and phones, the shutters clicking nonstop as they captured this beautiful and romantic moment.
"Wow, I didn’t expect Zhiyu to be so bold, kissing Li Yuan just like that. It looks like Zhiyu really, really likes Li Yuan."
"Zhiyu is so brave. Has she set her heart on Li Yuan?"
"If it were anyone else, I’d be shocked, but since it’s Zhiyu, I’m not surprised at all. That’s just her personality—daring to love and daring to hate."
On stage, Li Yuan was stunned by Jiang Zhiyu’s public embrace and kiss. Despite his usual boldness—daring to kiss Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin directly—those were in private settings with few people around. This newcomers’ welcome party, however, had an audience of ten to twenty thousand Ji University faculty and students watching.
The female host wisely stepped forward and teased, "Everyone, we just witnessed an exciting moment of young love."
"Now, let’s hear it for them as we enjoy the original song they’ve brought us, ’Natural Beauty’!"
After she finished speaking, the host handed a microphone to Li Yuan.
As the background music began, a familiar melody echoed in his ears. Li Yuan looked at Jiang Zhiyu, who was gazing back at him with a shy and timid expression, and he suddenly understood everything.
This was obviously prepared in advance. Otherwise, the backing track for "Natural Beauty" wouldn’t have started playing backstage.
Meeting Li Yuan’s questioning gaze, Jiang Zhiyu blinked at him, her eyes holding a mix of pleading and playfulness. Li Yuan returned her look and sighed inwardly. Today, he had truly gone crazy for Little Fish.
Little Fish, I hope when the battleground finally erupts, you’ll remember me getting on stage for you today and go a little easy on me, Li Yuan muttered to himself.
He had never once professed his love for Little Fish; he only passively accepted her affection. In what way was this "not initiating, not rejecting, fully accepting" behavior any different from Bai Weixi in his past life? A green tea and a scumbag—two sides of the same coin.
Dragon Slayers inevitably become Evil Dragons.
Human nature is to have double standards.
At that moment, Li Yuan suddenly felt he could understand Bai Weixi a little. When someone you already have a bit of a fondness for shows you such affection, it’s truly difficult to refuse.
As the music swelled, Li Yuan cleared his throat and raised the microphone. Fortunately, he was familiar with this song, having sung it with Little Fish several times. He could follow the rhythm well. Apart from the sheer size of the crowd, the performance itself wasn’t too difficult.
The rhythm began, and Li Yuan started to sing softly.
[It’s another quiet evening]
[Cuddled up alone in a rocking chair, enjoying the cool]
[I admit, this is truly peaceful]
[Just like the old man downstairs]
After Li Yuan finished his verse, a wave of applause erupted from the crowd. His voice was still a bit tight with nerves. He wasn’t performing at one hundred percent.
Sensing Li Yuan’s nervousness, Little Fish hummed along with the tune, walked over to him, and took his hand, holding it tight.
[Heard you’re still doing that original music thing]
[But all that work doesn’t seem to amount to much]
[Why not spend some time thinking]
[About your own appearance for a change]
Feeling the warmth from Little Fish’s hand, Li Yuan’s heart eased, and a sense of relief washed over him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
I’ve already been reborn once. Why should I still be so worried and tense? Isn’t it better to just live freely and without restraint?
