Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 380 - 380 376 Showing Off Before Leaving

380: Chapter 376: Showing Off Before Leaving 380: Chapter 376: Showing Off Before Leaving Li Zhaojun could tell it was about enough, so she said loudly, “Today we all came for a reunion, not to screen my boyfriend, so go about your business.”

After speaking, she looped her arm through Ye Fan’s and turned to walk away.

That left Wang Qingyi and the other four people looking at each other, only able to shake their heads in frustration.

Targeting Ye Fan again tonight would definitely provoke Li Zhaojun’s wrath.

After walking a few meters, Li Zhaojun whispered to Ye Fan, “Thanks for enduring that just now.”

“It’s my duty,” Ye Fan replied softly.

“I want to chat with my female classmates for a while, you…” Li Zhaojun added.

“Sure, go ahead.

I could use a break,” Ye Fan quickly responded.

Therefore, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun split up, Li Zhaojun walking over to a group of female classmates while Ye Fan picked up a red cup and sat down on a sofa near the wall.

Due to the confrontation moments earlier, no one approached Ye Fan for a chat anytime soon.

Ye Fan was happy for the quiet, contently sipping his red wine.

However, the world never lacks fools.

Just as Ye Fan had finished a cup of red wine and was exchanging it for another from a passing tray, a jealous pursuer of Li Zhaojun, egged on by other pursuers, approached Ye Fan and declared, “Ye Fan, I want to duel with you!”

“A fight?” Ye Fan glanced at the pursuer indifferently and asked disdainfully, “Are you not just humiliating yourself?”

The pursuer’s face turned red as his anger flared.

Ye Fan, being notably taller and more robust, was obviously not a man he could contend with.

“You can hear him snort, “We live in a civilized society.

Only barbarians constantly talk about fighting.”

“Oh, so you do understand that we are in a civilized society.

Then why bring up a duel?” Ye Fan retorted coldly, “Do you think if you win in other aspects, then Li Zhaojun will just be handed over to you like an object?”

“I, I didn’t mean that,” the pursuer stammered, his face turning an even deeper shade of red.

Ye Fan scoffed, “Heh, if that’s not what you meant, then why did you eagerly come over to talk about a duel?”

The pursuer’s face turned the color of liver, and in desperation, he shouted, “I just can’t stand the sight of you!”

“I didn’t expect you to,” Ye Fan responded nonchalantly.

This was something he had anticipated.

Their dream girl had been taken away by an outsider—it would be odd for them to feel fondness for Ye Fan.

Hence, from the very start, Ye Fan had never intended to befriend Li Zhaojun’s past pursuers.

Caught off guard by such a direct response, the pursuer and his group did not know what to say next, and the situation turned awkward.

Fortunately, two female classmates hurried over and led the red-eyed, jealous pursuer away.

Li Zhaojun, who had been chatting with a group of female classmates, had been keeping an eye on Ye Fan’s situation and had seen everything.

She walked over to him and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Heh, this little scene is nothing,” Ye Fan replied with a light smile.

Li Zhaojun said, “Ye Fan, let’s go home.”

Her primary reason for organizing this reunion was to create more opportunities to interact with Ye Fan, and now that purpose had been fulfilled.

Moreover, since Ye Fan was clearly being targeted by her male classmates, staying any longer could backfire, should Ye Fan truly become displeased.

“So soon?” Ye Fan expressed surprise, then said, “That’s fine.

Your classmates don’t seem very friendly.”

So, Ye Fan stood up.

Li Zhaojun gently took Ye Fan’s left arm and together, under everyone’s gaze, they walked toward the hall’s entrance.

However, after a few steps, Ye Fan suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Li Zhaojun asked.

Ye Fan smiled faintly and said, “Leaving like this seems too embarrassing.

Let’s put on a show.”

“Hmm?” Li Zhaojun expressed surprise.

Ye Fan withdrew his hand and turned to walk toward the piano stage in the southeast corner of the party hall.

It turned out that this party hall was also equipped with a live pianist, but the pianist was not nearly as skilled as the one hired by Yun Qi’s club.

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, including Li Zhaojun, Ye Fan approached the piano stage and whispered a few words to the pianist.

The pianist nodded, stood up, and stepped down from the stage.

Ye Fan flipped through the sheet music on the piano stand, then turned to face everyone and announced loudly, “I am honored to have accompanied Zhao Jun to this class reunion today, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we must leave early.

As an apology, I would like to offer everyone a performance of ‘Deskmate.'”

“Deskmate” was an old song with simple lyrics and a catchy melody that had once swept through school campuses nationwide.

Ye Fan had learned to sing it in his youth.

Moreover, he had received professional musical training in his youth and had naturally learned an instrument along the way.

In fact, anyone receiving professional musical training usually learns at least one instrument to help find the musical rhythm.

The instrument he learned, as designated by his mother, was the piano.

Before he joined the military, his piano skills had reached a performance level.

Although he hadn’t touched a piano in many years, being an expert in internal energy, his fingers were ten times more agile than before he joined the army.

Coupled with his solid piano foundation and having practiced “Deskmate” while learning to sing it, he could manage a decent performance for this non-professional crowd with the help of sheet music.

As Ye Fan’s voice dropped, those who weren’t jealous of him and the female classmates couldn’t help but applaud in surprise and cheer.

Others who were jealous of Ye Fan let out a burst of boos.

Ye Fan, unconcerned with the reactions of others, calmly sat at the piano, placed his hands on it, and appeared to randomly press on the piano keys.

It turned out that having not touched a piano for so long, he had to first familiarize himself with the feel of the keys and find the intensity of each key’s sound.

The crowd heard a series of random noises, and Li Zhaojun’s suitors immediately shouted in annoyance, “If you can’t play, don’t mess around.

It’s annoying!”

Ye Fan continued to press randomly for half a minute and finally began to play the familiar melody of “Deskmate” amid numerous discordant sounds.

As the elegant melody and familiar piano playing flowed through the hall, the scoffing and mocking voices gradually quieted down.

After the intro was played, Ye Fan opened his rich, magnetic voice and began to sing soulfully, “Tomorrow, will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday?

Tomorrow, will you still think about the one who loved to cry the most…”

As Ye Fan performed soulfully, everyone present, initially indifferent, was suddenly captivated by his singing and immersed in his voice.

Everyone at the event knew how to sing “Deskmate,” and its melody was so familiar.

Combined with the very fitting backdrop of the class reunion, it wasn’t long before people began to tear up and uncontrollably join in softly with Ye Fan’s piano and singing.

When Ye Fan reached the second verse, nearly everyone in the hall began to sing along harmoniously.

Li Zhaojun also sang softly, her beautiful eyes focused on Ye Fan, who was playing the piano and singing passionately.

At this moment, dressed in a suit, Ye Fan exuded an elegance and nobility she had never seen before, and her gaze grew even more tender and infatuated.
