Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 389 - 166: Because I Just Met You, Li Yuan’s Passionate Singing_4

He had a feeling this would be his last time seeing Little Fish. They had first met online after he started writing his book in July, and now, after meeting in person, nearly three months had passed.

It would be a lie to say there were no feelings between them. Previously, he had always hesitated to get too close because of Jiang Zhiyu's identity. But now, at the very moment he was about to lose her, he suddenly realized she had unknowingly walked into his heart and taken an important place there.

Li Yuan stared at Jiang Zhiyu's figure, continuing to sing with deep emotion.

*Because I don't want to part*

*Because I just so happened to meet you*

*Leaving behind a decade's wish*

*If we meet again*

*I think I will remember you*

...

As soon as Li Yuan finished singing, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. All eyes turned to Jiang Zhiyu, awaiting her response.

With her eyes swollen and red, Jiang Zhiyu silently turned to look at Li Yuan. Her tear-streaked face suddenly broke into a faint smile as she spoke softly.

"Xia Hua, what is the name of this song?"

Though Jiang Zhiyu's voice was soft, Li Yuan heard it clearly. Despite the dozens of meters between them, it felt as if they shared a telepathic connection.

Gazing at the sprite-like girl before him, Li Yuan answered seriously, "Little Fish, this song is called 'Just Met You,' and I want to dedicate it to you."

"Thank you, Little Fish. I'm so glad I met you."

Listening to Li Yuan's reply, Jiang Zhiyu murmured to herself, "'Just Met You'… what a beautiful song, what a beautiful name, what a wonderful story."

Scenes of her time with Li Yuan resurfaced in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile again. As she smiled, the tears began to fall once more.

The first song Li Yuan had written for her was "Love Confession Balloon." It captured the innocent and tentative feeling of their first encounter, a series of hopeful confessions where he had expressed his heart.

The second song he wrote, "Natural Beauty," depicted their happy times on the campus of Ji University, just as the lyrics described.

The final song, "Just Met You," seemed like a summary of their entire relationship, especially for an occasion like this.

A joyful meeting, a sad farewell.

Staring at Li Yuan on the stage, Jiang Zhiyu spoke through her tears and smile, "Xia Hua, I'm also very glad to have met you, and I really love this song."

Jiang Zhiyu paused, her gaze lingering on Li Yuan in what felt like a final farewell.

"Goodbye, Xia Hua."

With those words, she turned and left under the stunned gazes of the entire crowd, getting into a black Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

Once inside the car, Jiang Zhiyu could no longer contain her emotions. She pitifully hugged her knees to her chest and began to sob loudly.

"Xia Hua, I really, really, really can't bear to leave you…"

Onstage, Li Yuan watched Jiang Zhiyu's car drive away. He suddenly felt utterly hollow, as if his very spirit had been drained from him. His gaze turned dim and lifeless.

Seeing Li Yuan's crestfallen expression, Wu Wenhui, Zheng Kaimo, and Fang Jueqing exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. They could all tell that the relationship between Li Yuan and the girl who had just left was far from ordinary and that there was a deep story between them.

And from what they had witnessed today, it seemed the story did not have a happy ending.

Wu Wenhui stepped forward, breaking the silence. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Ahem. Thank you, Xia Hua, for bringing us this wonderful new song, 'Just Met You.' We hope we'll have the chance to hear more from you in the future.

"I also hope that all of you here, after weathering the storm, will find your rainbow. Stay true to your initial aspirations and be true to yourselves.

"This concludes today's book signing event. Thank you all for your support. Thank you!"
