Chapter 923 - 320: Strolling Through the Park, Encountering an Old Acquaintance (Part 2)

Li Yuan, with a height of 1.85 meters, stood out conspicuously in Modu, creating the feeling of a crane standing amidst chickens. Qi Siyu and Liang Jingjing looked for a while in the crowd, and soon spotted him.

"Over there, he’s also listening to that girl singing," Qi Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, tugged at Liang Jingjing’s clothes, and pointed across.

Liang Jingjing looked in the direction Qi Siyu pointed and indeed saw Li Yuan towering over the crowd.

Seeing Li Yuan fixated on the central figure in the crowd, the singing girl, she couldn’t help but pout and teased:

"Siyu, I bet Li Yuan knows that girl who’s singing."

"Look at his eyes, don’t they look surprised and delighted, just like he’s seeing someone familiar?"

"Could it be that this girl is one of Li Yuan’s old flames too?"

On the other side,

After recognizing this familiar voice, Li Yuan glanced at Qi Siyu and Liang Jingjing as they went to join in the excitement and then found a spot to verify whether the girl singing was indeed someone he knew...

With just one look,

he immediately recognized who the girl "singing for a living" on the street was!

He had interacted with this girl, had meals, sang, and conversed together...

"Miss, your singing is amazing, can you sing another one?"

"Yeah, it’s really good. Can we request a song? I want to hear Xia Hua’s ’The Rest of My Life.’"

"Young girl, sing ’Love Confession Balloon,’ I really want to hear it."

"Why do you all want to hear Xia Hua’s songs? I’m different, I want to hear Jay Chou’s songs. Sing ’Blue and White Porcelain,’ and I’ll tip you well."

"Great singing deserves a tip, a generous tip, keep singing, and we’ll keep tipping."

Modu indeed is full of affluent people; soon someone in the crowd stepped forward to offer ten, twenty yuan notes as tips.

In those days, electronic payment was yet to arrive, with paper money being the norm.

In various cities, there were many girls singing on the streets, or in restaurants, earning some extra money, while also honing their courage and singing skills.

Especially among music students who sang exceptionally well, it was an even more common sight.

In his past life, Li Yuan often encountered such scenes.

Seeing this acquaintance, Li Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart,

He seemed to vaguely remember the day at Ji University when he went to find them, inquiring about Little Fish’s whereabouts and their reaction at the time.

In the period shortly after Little Fish left, he occasionally contacted them to ask about Little Fish,

But after being rebuked multiple times and receiving no news about Little Fish from them, Li Yuan gradually gave up.

Unexpectedly, he would encounter Little Fish’s former roommates under such circumstances.

"Thank you all for your tips; next, I’ll bring you a song ’Love Confession Balloon.’ I hope you like it."

"On the left bank of the Seine, the café..."

As the song began, some of the surrounding passersby left, while others softly hummed along.

"You say it’s hard to pursue you and want me to retreat, no need for pricey gifts, just the leaves of Champs-Élysées..."

Listening to this song, scenes of Little Fish singing passionately to him immediately filled Li Yuan’s mind.

After their first meeting, he wrote this song for Little Fish, who then composed the music and sang it to him over the phone.

On Ji University’s welcome gala, in front of thousands of teachers and students, she unabashedly declared her affection towards him.

A call of "Brother Xia Hua" echoed in his mind, as if pulling Li Yuan’s memories back to the time they were together, like a reversal of time...

At some point, Li Yuan’s star-like eyes were already glistening with tears.

[Dear loving you, love diary, fragrant perfume memories]

[A full bottle of dreams, all mixed with you]

[Dear, don’t be willful, your eyes say you agree]

As Zhang Ruoxue finished singing "Love Confession Balloon," a burst of applause and cheers erupted around.

Just as she was about to speak, sensing something, she turned to see a tall person wearing a mask in the crowd on the right, tearfully looking at her.

Seeing this figure and meeting its gaze,

a voice immediately echoed in her mind.

"Li Yuan?" Zhang Ruoxue murmured to herself, her eyes revealing surprise.

She didn’t expect to encounter Li Yuan, a familiar face, during her first "singing for a living" experience in the park.

Regarding Li Yuan, Zhang Ruoxue knew him well.

As Jiang Zhiyu’s roommate, she naturally paid close attention to Jiang Zhiyu’s beloved "Brother Xia Hua," having had meals, chats, songs together, making her well-acquainted with Li Yuan...

Regarding Li Yuan, the girls in their dormitory had extremely complicated feelings, even loathing.

Li Yuan’s affairs were well-known to them, and they often spoke up for Jiang Zhiyu.

In their eyes, Jiang Zhiyu was already perfect—vivacious, pretty, with a great figure, kind-hearted, and an excellent singer, also the President of the school’s music club, and from a wealthy family...

She almost possessed every possible virtue.

Such a flawless girl treated Li Yuan so well, so passionately,
