Chapter 459
Most of the residents of Daliang City could play the zither to various level . There was zither competition every year . Those who won first prize would not only became very well known within Daliang City, their social status would also increase drastically .
And Gu Ziyan was one of them . Not only was he skilled in zither, he was also young and handsome . He certainly was the prince in every girl's eyes in Daliang City .
While Yan Ziyuan was learning under him, she developed feelings for him . And, being a bold and passionate girl, she decided to let him know of her feelings .
She didn't expect he'd rejec right then and there .
And after the event, probably wanting to avoid any further trouble, he had also declined to continue teaching her zither and stopped visiting the Yan's .
Yan Ziyuan did not give up, she continue to pursue him . She sent him gifts, she took advantage of every opportunity to run into him . Until that day, when she saw him with Rong Yan .
She found out later on that the two of them grew up together and had been close friends since before her family gone downhill .
The two of them were seen together at the zither recital a year ago . They went on stage together and played a duet . Most were envious of the good looking couple group and, of course, may young girls' hearts were crush, including that of Yan Ziyuan .
Of course this hit Yan Ziyuan harder than others . The man that she has feelings for was the childhood best friend of the person she hated the most . Her being defeated by this particular woman was the worst thing that could happen to her and she had a hard time getting over it .
She had own a supreme quality zither up until this point, it was picked up for her by Gu Ziyan when he first became her zither instructor . She had always treasured it .
After she found out his relationship with Rong Yan, her first thought was to smash it . But she has a pathological attachment to her possessions and couldn't bring herself to destroy it . Finally she sent someone to throw it out, out of sight, out of mind .
Of course, she had also given up continuing to pursue Gu Ziyan .
But, one could think about something rationally, emotions were a whole different story . She had invested too much and it wasn't easy to just stop thinking about him .
Luckily she was a rational person . She stopped trying to find out where he was or what he was doing, and she stopped going to places where he might be .
Mr . Yan wanted to help distract her from this so he had organized many tea gatherings, garden gatherings, and poetry gatherings with other ladies and gentlemen . He even arranged for her to attend the Heavenly Teacher's enthronement ceremony just so she could realize there's a much bigger world out there and forget about this guy .
During this year, she had made many friends and became much happier . Even she thought she was already over Gu Ziyan . She didn't think that after running into him again today, her heart still skipped a beat, and that it pained her when he said stern words to her .
Seeing him with Rong Yan, it felt like her heart was about to explode . She wanted to cry, bawl even .
She said she wasn't going to cry, but tears still rolled down her face in front of Ning Xuemo . Finally she bawled on Ning Xuemo's shoulder .
After she was done crying, she sadly said she had only applied to participate in this even because she heard that Gu Ziyan wasn't going to come . She hadn't expected to run into him here .
So she planned on pulling out of the performance and drag Ning Xuemo back to her place .
"You have already decided to move on . Why not just see him as any other person?" Ning Xuemo signed, then patted Yan Ziyuan on her shoulder .
