Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 260 - 133: Ji University Welcome Party, Little Fish Gets Jealous_4

"If you know what’s good for you, back off now. You can still walk away with your dignity intact. Don’t overestimate yourself and try to smash a rock with an egg. You’re not qualified, understand?"

Li Yuan’s body trembled. The deep-seated worry in his heart had finally surfaced, and a sense of helplessness suddenly washed over him.

As a Reincarnator, he knew all too well the weight behind the man’s casual words. Sometimes, certain things are just passed down by blood. If you weren’t born with it, you’ll never have it. No amount of effort can change that. His own family had been poor peasants for three generations with nothing to their name. Compared to the second-generation elites of Modu, he was someone who could be crushed with ease.

"Heh. Realizing the gap between us now, Li Yuan? The sooner you face reality, the better—for you and for Zhiyu. You and she are destined to be people from two different worlds." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Li Yuan clenched his fists, glaring at Qin Hao’s arrogant smile. He was dying to punch him but managed to restrain himself.

He had his own weaknesses. The other party had clearly investigated him; it wouldn’t have been difficult to dig up information. A deep sense of powerlessness washed over him again. This was a reality one always had to face. Once you reached a certain level, they would come looking for trouble even if you tried to avoid them. It was impossible to escape. If you didn’t want to be devoured, your only choice was to play their game. He’d expected to encounter this kind of problem after his business had grown and he’d become successful again, not so soon, and certainly not over something as petty as fighting for a girl.

Just as Li Yuan was about to speak, he felt a smaller hand grasp his. Jiang Zhiyu, carrying a guitar case on her back, stared coldly at Qin Hao and said just one thing.

"Qin Hao, I’d advise you to mind your own business. You can’t afford the consequences."

Qin Hao, who had just been so arrogant and condescending, immediately wilted like a scolded dog the moment he heard Jiang Zhiyu’s words.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyu suddenly appear, Qin Hao quickly forced a smile and explained, "Zhiyu, let me explain. My feelings for you are genuine."

Jiang Zhiyu frowned and waved her hand impatiently. "Stay out of my sight from now on. I’m sick of looking at you. And don’t even think about pulling any tricks behind my back."

Qin Hao opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it. Before leaving, he shot Li Yuan a glare filled with warning and slunk away.

Having just been threatened, Li Yuan was in a foul mood, feeling stifled and helpless.

Jiang Zhiyu seemed to notice Li Yuan’s low spirits. She held his hand and said consolingly with a grin, "Xia Hua, don’t take what Qin Hao said to heart. He was just trying to scare you. He wouldn’t dare do anything, even if you gave him a hundred times the courage. Who I like is my decision to make. It’s not his place to butt in."

Li Yuan smiled but did not respond.

Although he often joked about being a kept man or finding a sugar mama, it was all just talk. After his rebirth, he had just wanted to live a carefree life, yet he’d ended up entangled in this kind of mess again. Qin Hao had a point when he told him not to overestimate himself by trying to smash a rock with an egg. He knew better than anyone that right now, he wasn’t even an egg, let alone ready to take on a rock.

Seeing that Li Yuan was still sullen, Jiang Zhiyu grew anxious.

"Xia Hua, really, don’t pay any attention to him. I’ve already warned him. Just pretend he doesn’t exist."

Seeing how anxious she was, Li Yuan’s worries suddenly lifted, and he smiled. He patted her head and comforted her gently, "Little Fish, it’s okay. I didn’t take it to heart. He’s just some college student. Did you really think he could scare me? Now, how about you teach me to play the guitar?"

Seeing that Li Yuan’s mood seemed to have genuinely recovered, Little Fish finally relaxed and said cheerfully, "Xia Hua, let’s go to the field."

"Alright, let’s go."

In the distance, Qin Hao secretly watched the backs of Li Yuan and Jiang Zhiyu as they walked away hand in hand, his expression turning grim.

He genuinely liked Jiang Zhiyu, but she was completely indifferent, treating him as if he were invisible. He had pursued her for so long without making any progress. I need to try a different method. Zhiyu might be protecting you now, but what if she stops liking you? Heh!

「On the soccer field.」

Li Yuan and Little Fish sat together. Little Fish was patiently teaching Li Yuan, personally guiding his hands.

"Xia Hua, the guitar is very simple.

"Let’s start by getting to know the instrument. It has three main parts: the headstock, the neck, and the body, and each part is made of different components... You also need to learn the basics of music theory, like notes, rhythm, and tempo, as well as how to read tablature. You can start with single-note exercises..."

Little Fish was a very thorough teacher, demonstrating each point to Li Yuan personally. Li Yuan, in turn, cleared his mind of all distractions and began to learn in earnest.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. He had to admit, since his rebirth, his learning ability had been greatly enhanced. He picked up the basics of the guitar remarkably quickly.

Little Fish covered her mouth and exclaimed in astonishment, "Xia Hua, your musical talent is amazing! I only explained everything once, and you already get it.

"Teehee, your talent was truly going to waste. It’s a good thing I discovered you, otherwise the world would have missed out on a musical genius."

"Little Fish, it’s only because you’re such a good teacher that I’m learning so quickly," Li Yuan replied.
