Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 259 - 133: Ji University Welcome Party, Little Fish Gets Jealous_3

Even before his rebirth, he had always loved listening to music. He was incredibly envious of the guys who could strum a guitar and sing, holding the instrument and performing a solo of "Anhe Bridge." That was the epitome of cool.

Now, having been reborn with a special gift and a vastly improved memory, it seems like a great idea to use my free time to learn music and fulfill that wish from my past life. As for money, enough is enough. A few billion should be all it takes to achieve complete financial freedom. At that point, I’ll get a private villa, a private yacht, a private jet, and a luxury sports car. Then I can take my gorgeous wife traveling around the world, enjoying a life of romance. I spent my last life as a miserable wage slave; there’s no reason to live like that again. If you have money but don’t spend it, don’t enjoy life, don’t flirt, don’t indulge in fine food and wine, don’t show off, and don’t buy the luxury items you never even dared to dream of, then when you get old, all you can do is weep over your fortune.

How did that saying go again? Youth doesn’t value the ’J’ in ’joystick,’ only to weep helplessly at the sight of an ’O’ in old age...

The greatest regret in life is when the man is gone, but the money remains... An even greater regret is when a man suddenly dies, leaving behind a beautiful wife, a massive fortune, numerous children, and elderly parents...

Somewhere out there, a certain mogul was probably thinking, "I feel personally attacked..."

Li Yuan mused to himself. He had, in fact, become a total scoundrel, juggling four relationships at once. He was playing the innocent and adorkable Xia Zhijin, the perfect goddess Zhong Tingyue, the quirky Little Fish, and his first love from two lifetimes, Bai Weixi.

I might as well accept the criticism from everyone. I can’t be a player and still expect to be praised for being a faithful, devoted man.

"I can teach you, Xia Hua! I know a little bit about all sorts of instruments, like the piano, violin, guitar, and zither," Little Fish said excitedly, grabbing Li Yuan’s hand as she began to daydream about the future. "We could be on the sports field, in a park, by the sea, on a mountaintop... just enjoying our time together. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? It’s so exciting just thinking about it."

Li Yuan smiled. "Alright, then. You can teach me in a bit."

Hearing Li Yuan agree, Little Fish’s spirits soared. "Xia Hua, I have a guitar and a violin in my dorm. Should I teach you right now?"

Is Little Fish always this proactive? Li Yuan was startled. He didn’t mind starting now, but weren’t they supposed to be watching the welcome gala today?

"Little Fish, it’s already one o’clock. The welcome gala starts in two hours. Do you really want to learn now?"

Little Fish waved her hand nonchalantly, a wide grin on her face. "My performance is third-to-last, so I won’t be on until around five in the afternoon. We have plenty of time." She pressed on, "Xia Hua, let’s go to my dorm together to get the instruments. Which one do you want to learn, guitar or violin?"

"Let’s go with the guitar, then."

Li Yuan was reasonably familiar with the guitar; a college roommate from his past life used to play.

After getting out of the car, Li Yuan walked hand in hand with Little Fish through the campus of Ji University. Enjoying the attention from passersby, he couldn’t help but tease her. "Little Fish, you’re so popular and well-known at your school. People are secretly taking photos of you everywhere we go."

Little Fish smiled sweetly and pouted. "I don’t like it either. I don’t know why they love taking candid photos so much. It’s so annoying."

"Then you must have a lot of admirers," Li Yuan asked curiously. "Why haven’t you dated anyone before?"

Little Fish suddenly stopped walking. Blinking, she looked at Li Yuan and giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. "Are you jealous, Xia Hua? Or are you feeling threatened?"

"I was just asking out of curiosity," Li Yuan replied with a straight face.

Little Fish huffed playfully. "Hmph, and here I thought you were getting jealous."

Li Yuan smiled. "Little Fish, do you really want me to be jealous?"

She nodded shyly.

Li Yuan spoke with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "Fine, I’m jealous."

Little Fish hugged his arm, her face lighting up with a smile as radiant as a flower. "Heehee, Xia Hua, I only like you." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

「」

Downstairs from the girls’ dormitory, Li Yuan checked his phone. No girls had messaged him today, which felt strangely unfamiliar.

Suddenly, a voice called out beside him.

"Li Yuan."

Li Yuan turned his head. When he saw who it was, his gaze hardened and his brow furrowed, wondering how this person knew his name. "What is it?" he replied indifferently.

Seeing Li Yuan’s nonchalant demeanor, Qin Hao felt anger rising within him, yet he was still wary of Li Yuan’s physical strength. He glanced at the composed young man, looking down on him as if holding all the aces, his tone exceptionally cold. "Li Yuan. From Qiao Jun in Northern Anhui. A freshman in the Computer Science Department at Daxia University. Author of the popular web novel ’Battle Starry Sky’... Am I right?"

Li Yuan’s brow furrowed deeper. He had an ominous feeling. "Spit it out," he retorted coldly.

Qin Hao snickered and shook his head slightly. He looked at Li Yuan and asked, "I’m very curious, Li Yuan. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"

Li Yuan replied coolly, "Liang Jingru did. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

Qin Hao shook his head and said meaningfully, "Li Yuan, I assume you don’t know about Zhiyu’s family background, do you?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow. That ominous feeling grew stronger, and he could already guess what the other man was about to say.

As expected, Qin Hao continued, "There are some things I don’t need to spell out; I’m sure you understand. For a family like Zhiyu’s, marrying into a family of equal social standing is very important."
