Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 386 - 166: Because I Just Met You, Li Yuan’s Passionate Singing

Everyone who came to the book signing event today was a die-hard fan of Li Yuan, and they happily began to shell out fifty yuan for the deluxe hardcover edition of *Battle Starry Sky*.

Li Yuan sat at the table as a female reader, who looked to be only about twenty, cheerfully approached him, her voice brimming with excitement.

"Xia Hua, I’m your fan! I’ve finally gotten to meet you."

Li Yuan answered with a smile, "Thank you for your support."

As if dazzled by his smile, the female reader asked bashfully, "Xia Hua, could you write a message in the book for me?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile. "No problem. What should I write?"

"Just write, ’May Gu Yunshu be happy every day and live a lifetime of peace and joy.’"

Li Yuan’s handwriting was quite good. In his previous life, he had worked in a government office and had even practiced calligraphy for a while when he was bored.

He swiftly wrote the message and signed his name. What an odd sensation. I never imagined I’d be signing autographs one day.

Gu Yunshu took the signed book as if it were a priceless treasure, praising, "Xia Hua, your handwriting is so beautiful."

"It’s just average. Don’t praise me too much, or I’ll get arrogant," Li Yuan joked in response.

Looking at the long line that had formed behind her, Gu Yunshu glanced at Li Yuan reluctantly and asked in a loud voice, "Um, Xia Hua, will you sing after the book signing is over? I really love listening to you sing ’Natural Beauty’."

Li Yuan glanced toward the corner of the plaza. Little Fish’s figure was nowhere to be seen, and he wondered if she was hiding on purpose. He could understand how she felt. If he were in her shoes, he would have done something even more extreme.

Li Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. "I’m sorry."

Gu Yunshu looked at him with disappointment. "It’s okay. I hope I can go to a concert of yours in the future."

Li Yuan just smiled. He had no interest in holding a concert.

As one reader after another came before him, the signing progressed quickly. The fans’ requests were varied and numerous. Some, like the first girl, Gu Yunshu, wanted personal messages. Others wanted photos. However, the vast majority asked if he could sing a song on the spot, which left him utterly speechless...

Suddenly, a voice that made his skin crawl reached his ears, accompanied by a fragrant breeze that filled the air with the scent of perfume.

"Xia Hua, it’s my turn."

Li Yuan guessed who it was just from the fragrance. He looked up and, sure enough, it was the Big Breast Girl, Wang Jierong. She was dressed very sexily today, her voluptuous and alluring figure on full display. As she bent over, deliberately leaning close to Li Yuan, he could even see the deep ravine capable of swallowing the gazes of countless men...

Look not at what is contrary to propriety... Li Yuan chanted inwardly. Is Wang Jierong challenging my manhood? He felt completely exasperated and asked, "What are you guys doing crowding around here?"

"Mwah! Xia Hua, I’m one of your biggest fans too, you know," Wang Jierong cooed, her breath fragrant and her tone full of charm, enough to make even Liu Jia, who was standing behind her, feel his heart flutter.

Hearing Wang Jierong call out "Xia Hua" in that coquettish voice, Li Yuan felt a sense of unease. He couldn’t help but recall the scenes of Little Fish sweetly calling out ’Xia Hua’... Yet this sweet girl, who usually clung to him like an ethereal sprite, refused to even show her face to him today.

Li Yuan sighed internally, his brow furrowing slightly as he gave Wang Jierong a cool look.

"Wang Jierong, don’t call me like that anymore. Just call me Li Yuan."

"Xia Hua, why? I think it sounds special and nice," Wang Jierong said, puzzled. She bit her lip and moved even closer until she was practically melting into him.

Behind Liu Jia, Wu Hao whispered to him, "Looks like Wang Jierong still hasn’t given up on chasing Yuan. Old Six, what do you think?"

Liu Jia pursed his lips and stroked his chin. "What’s there to think? If Yuan is willing, I wouldn’t mind becoming a kindred spirit."

Wu Hao was initially bewildered, not immediately grasping the lewd wordplay Liu Jia had made. But when he saw Liu Jia’s strange smile, a possibility dawned on him. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Liu Jia, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Old Six, you’re so damn lewd! Who taught you how to ’drive’ like that? Your skills are really improving."

Liu Jia patted Wu Hao on the shoulder and whispered, "Mouse, I’ve realized something recently. We may not have Yuan’s talent, money, or good looks, but we can possess a specialty that he lacks. Do you know what it is?"

"What?" Wu Hao asked.

Liu Jia patted his own cheek and answered with a grin, "A thick skin."

"’A thick skin gets you the good stuff. Bad boys get all the love.’"

"As long as your skin is thick enough, your words are sweet enough, and you have the gift of gab, you can toy with a girl’s emotions and provide her with emotional value. You’re guaranteed to find a girlfriend. Even swapping them out a few times wouldn’t be impossible...

"It’s all about hiding your weaknesses and playing up your strengths. When you’re chasing a girl, you have to emphasize your good points and show them off..."

Wu Hao listened, dumbfounded. He looked at Liu Jia in a daze and asked blankly, "Old Six, where on earth did you learn all these crooked theories?"

Liu Jia glanced at Wu Hao, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Mouse, this is the profound... truth I’ve learned from studying numerous dating guides. I shall call it ’The Thirty-Six Stratagems of Love.’"
