Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 378 - 164: Oh no, the cover is blown, book fans become "music fans

The large square in front of Tianyu Building had already been decorated with huge banners by the Yuandian Company. The banners featured information about the book *Battle Starry Sky* and its author, alongside advertisements for Yuandian Web and Modu's Fang Zheng Publishing House. A red carpet was laid out and a stage had been set up, making the event look quite grand. Before Li Yuan even arrived, fans from various reader groups and some of his university classmates had already rushed over to get a good spot. Li Yuan had announced the new book signing in advance in the Alliance Leader Group, the V-group, and several other chats. Yuandian Web had also publicized it on their website and through various other channels. As a result, hundreds of fans had turned up for the event.

Many of the readers didn't know each other and began to interact within their various fan groups.

Desperate for Book Recommendations: "Brothers and sisters, has author Xia Hua arrived yet? I'm studying in Hangcheng, so I couldn't make it to the event. Could some kind soul please not forget to share some handsome photos of him?"

Warm Sun After the Storm: "@Life Like Summer Flowers, where are you? We've been waiting for half an hour already. It's not every day we get a chance to meet offline. Don't tell me he got cold feet and isn't coming."

I Just Love White Fluff Stories: "Whoa, the big shot Nuanyang is here in person? Which one are you? I'm also waiting at the entrance to the square. I'm in a black Adidas T-shirt... Hey, has anyone in our group actually seen Xia Hua? Is he handsome?"

Warm Sun After the Storm: "I happened to be free today, so I thought I'd come take a look... @I Just Love White Fluff Stories, I'm wearing a white Nike tracksuit and carrying a backpack, right at the entrance. Oh, I see you."

I Just Love White Fluff Stories: "Holy crap, I finally met Nuanyang in person! The guy's so handsome I think I'm turning gay..."

Warm Sun After the Storm: "Gross. *vomit.jpg* Get away from me, I'm not into guys... @Love Eating Cilantro, you've met Xia Hua in private a few times already, haven't you? Come on out and tell us, is he handsome or not? Post the pics, quickly!"

Desperate for Book Recommendations: "Hey, have you guys noticed? Cilantro hasn't said much in the group these past few days. She's usually very active, and she's an admin in our Alliance Leader Group. In the past, she'd pop up and scold us whenever we posted lewd pictures or started talking politics, but she hasn't said a thing for the past few days... I find it a bit strange."

Tianshan Swordsman: "Guys, don't tell me Xia Hua and Cilantro had a fight? Does anyone have the inside scoop? I can't remember who told me, but I heard they were already together."

Mengyi Pastoral Song: "Hmm, I've also heard that Xia Hua is a freshman, and Cilantro is a university student too. They're both in Modu, and Cilantro even went to Xia Hua's university to see him. They were definitely dating before... As for what their situation is now, I'm not sure."

Stephen Fenfenfen: "Your gossip just reminded me of something. A few days ago, I saw a video online posted by a Ji University student... It was a duet, a guy and a girl singing what seemed to be original songs called 'Natural Beauty' and 'Love Confession Balloon.' I don't know if you've heard of them, but they're super popular on QQ Music and Cool Dog Music right now... I saw a lot of comments saying that both songs were written, composed, and performed by a very young Great Writer, who was a student from another university. He went to Ji University to see his girlfriend and dedicated the songs to her... I remember Cilantro said in the group before that Xia Hua had written songs for her... You guys think it's possible that the songs in that video were written by Xia Hua, and the singers are Xia Hua and our girl Cilantro?"

Mengyi Pastoral Song: "Holy crap, I've heard those two songs and seen that Ji University welcome party video too. Fenfen, are you for real? That handsome guy and gorgeous girl are really Xia Hua and Cilantro? And Xia Hua wrote those two amazing songs?"

Tianshan Swordsman: "I'm totally lost. What video and songs are you all talking about? How come I haven't seen or heard them? Just how good-looking are Xia Hua and Cilantro?"

Stephen Fenfenfen: "@Tianshan Swordsman, are you living under a rock? Just search online for 'Natural Beauty' and 'Love Confession Balloon,' it's from the Ji University welcome party video. The recording isn't very clear, but you can tell it's a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. Based on the comments, it sounds a lot like they're talking about Xia Hua. If you want to listen to the songs, you can find them on QQ Music. The audio quality isn't great, but the rhythm is pretty good..."

Warm Sun After the Storm: "Everything will be clear once we see Xia Hua. By the way, if Xia Hua really wrote those two songs, the guy is insanely talented. Why is he even bothering with novels? Wouldn't it be great if he just debuted as a celebrity? With those two songs alone, he could become a huge pop star. He could even form a duo with Cilantro..."

Tianshan Swordsman: "I just listened to 'Natural Beauty,' and I have to say, the song is really well-written. The rhythm and melody are right up my alley; I love it. If Xia Hua really wrote it, then he's just too talented. Not only does he write amazing novels, but he can also write lyrics, compose music, and sing... I'm so excited for the book signing later, it's a shame I can't be there... @Warm Sun After the Storm, Nuanyang, don't forget to take lots of pictures of the event."

Warm Sun After the Storm: "No problem. Honestly, I'm also dying to know if Xia Hua and Cilantro are really dating and if he really wrote those songs. Guys and gals, if it's true, when the time comes, let's all get him to sing one for us live!"
