Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 387 - 166: Because I Just Met You, Li Yuan’s Passionate Singing_2

Chapter 387: Chapter 166: Because I Just Met You, Li Yuan’s Passionate Singing_2

Wu Hao patted Liu Jia’s shoulder and chuckled. "Hey, Liu, teach me your ways when we get back. I want to experience a sweet romance too. Watching Yuan flaunt his relationship every day makes me so envious I could cry."

...

Under Li Yuan’s strong insistence, Wang Jierong reluctantly changed her tune. She shot a flirtatious glance at Li Yuan, her voice full of insinuation as she spoke.

"Genius, don’t forget what you promised me last night. I get to have an iced coke today, you know. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs."

Li Yuan was speechless. So the Big Breast Girl has her eyes on me, and she temporarily has some leverage. Although, this leverage might soon become unimportant anyway.

Just as Wang Jierong left, Fang Yanni shyly approached, holding out a copy of "Battle Starry Sky." Her gaze took on a special quality as she looked at him.

"Li Yuan, could you please sign this for me as well?"

Li Yuan didn’t have a strong impression of Fang Yanni. She was the kind of ordinary university student who couldn’t compare to a treasure of a girl like Xia Zhijin, a sultry Big Breast Girl like Wang Jierong, or a delicate beauty like Tan Yanqiu—all of whom had such distinct characteristics.

After all, most people, men and women alike, are visual creatures with their own distinct tastes.

Li Yuan smiled. "You shouldn’t have. Just a signature?"

Fang Yanni suddenly grew nervous. "Um, maybe... you could write a little message too?"

"Alright." Li Yuan smiled and quickly wrote a line: "May Fang Yanni become a little heiress beloved by all."

Seeing the words, Fang Yanni glanced shyly at Li Yuan, mumbled a quiet "thank you," and scurried away.

...

Soon, it was Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang’s turn. The three university roommates came up to Li Yuan together, teasing him with winks and nudges.

"Heh, Yuan, I’m really curious. Who’s the girlfriend you mentioned on stage?"

Li Yuan glared at Liu Jia. "Liu, are you a curiosity cat? Do you have to know everything?"

"Hehe, I’m just asking. Anyway, you definitely weren’t talking about Xia Zhijin. I’m guessing it was that beautiful girl you were video chatting with the other night?"

Just as Liu Jia finished, Wu Hao chimed in with awe, "Yuan, your aura on stage during the interview was so commanding, like a business tycoon."

Li Yuan joked back self-deprecatingly, "Get out of here. I was actually nervous. When hundreds of people started shouting, I was shaking like a leaf."

"Haha, well, everyone was shocked that you can write songs, too. Yuan, most of the fans haven’t left. How about performing one for us in a bit?"

Li Yuan shook his head. "’Natural Beauty’ is better suited for a male-female duet. It just doesn’t have the right feel when I sing it alone."

Liu Jia had met Jiang Zhiyu before. While he was in the audience, he had scanned the crowd but couldn’t find her.

"Yuan, why didn’t your girlfriend from Ji University come? Don’t tell me you got caught two-timing!"

Li Yuan shot a look at the jinx. "You jinx! Hurry up and scram before you hold up the real fans," he scolded with a laugh.

"Yuan, that’s not cool! I’m a real fan too!" Liu Jia shouted. "I spent fifty yuan on your book. That’s my food money for the week! Now I’ll be stuck eating steamed buns with chili sauce."

"Hurry up, sign it, and add a personal message for me!"

Li Yuan was exasperated. "Give me a break. What do you want me to write?"

"Hehe, just write, ’Hoping Liu Jia finds many girlfriends in the future, with a different one every week.’"

"Tsk tsk, Liu, you really dream big, don’t you? A different one every week? You want me to arrange the whole set for you? Young beauties, mature queens, goddesses, lolitas, aunties, rich ladies, foreign girls... you want to try them all?"

Liu Jia’s eyes lit up as if a new world had opened before him. He nodded vigorously.

"Awesome, Yuan! If you can really make that happen, I’m your man from now on. Whatever you say, goes. If you tell me to stand guard, I won’t even peek."

"Damn, Liu, you really are the king of talk. Just don’t let your kidneys burn out."

Li Yuan teased him, but a thought suddenly occurred to him. It didn’t seem too difficult to achieve this. He didn’t even have to look far. In Modu, many clubs offered all sorts of experiences, and it wouldn’t cost much. It was only 2008. The country’s regulatory grip on the special service industry was nothing compared to what it would be later. Letting Liu Jia have a firsthand experience seemed like a good idea; he might even gain a new subordinate.

In the coming days, he would definitely be focusing on his business ventures. The development of the Zhihu website, the milk tea shop, gaming, and even food delivery all needed to get off the ground, and he was desperately short on manpower. He could mobilize his close friends from university and high school, like Liu Jia, Wu Hao, Wang Shuai, and Xu Zhi. A hero needs his helpers. In this era, or any era for that matter, you always need some trusted people by your side...

"Adoptive Father, it’s settled then!" Liu Jia answered excitedly. "My kidneys are made of diamond."

Li Yuan curled his lip. "Heh. As long as you’re not a three-second man."

"A three-second man? Impossible! I last at least an hour."

"That’s what all virgins say. Find a girlfriend before you start talking big."

"Damn, Yuan, talk about twisting the knife."

...

The signing event took nearly an hour to get through the several hundred readers.

Li Yuan stood up and rubbed his slightly sore wrist. I’m never doing one of these signing events again.

Wu Wenhui stepped onto the stage and looked out at the audience, which was still packed.
