Basically, just blindly believing in Shen You’an.
Hao Yun cast a disdainful glance at Ren Chong. Brain-dead fans are just , huh?
"Equestrian is at most just a sport. If I practiced for two days, I could ride a horse too. What’s there to brag about? But piano is a refined art, requiring both talent and skill. Can the two even be compared?"
"Do you know Pearl?" Hao Yun suddenly asked.
Yan Lu, who had just walked into the classroom, smiled and said, "Mr. Pearl? He’s an internationally renowned pianist, a representative and promoter of the Romantic style. He’s also my favorite pianist. Why did you suddenly bring him up?" Updates are released by novelꞁire.net
Hao Yun flashed a smug smile. "Pearl was one of the judges in the piano competition Xiangge just participated in. He really admired Xiangge. Do you think a certain someone could ever catch up in their lifetime?"
As she finished speaking, she cast a pointed glance at Shen You’an.
Shen You’an acted as if she hadn’t heard the sarcasm, heading straight for her seat.
Yan Lu glanced at Qin Xiangge in surprise. "Really?"
Qin Xiangge coughed lightly and tugged at Hao Yun, signaling her to stop talking.
But Hao Yun acted as though she didn’t understand Qin Xiangge’s hint, proudly lifting her head and chest, as if she were the one Pearl praised.
"Of course. This was something Xiangge personally told me. With Mr. Pearl’s admiration, Xiangge’s first-place win is well-deserved. I’d suggest a certain someone..."
"The piano competition you mentioned, was it the Huazhao Cup piano competition a few days ago?"
A sharp voice suddenly interrupted Hao Yun.
Hao Yun frowned and looked toward the doorway. That glance made her visibly startled.
There were so many people, and all of them were ones she dreaded.
Leng Yunyang, Gu Bichen, Liu Runxi, and even Jiang Shengyao from Class B.
And the person who spoke was the girl standing behind Jiang Shengyao.
Jiang Shengyao turned around and frowned at Xing Ye, who was standing behind him.
Xing Ye stepped forward with a sneering smile, "Let me ask you again: The piano competition you were just talking about, was it the Huazhao Cup piano competition from a few days ago?"
Although Xing Ye’s question was directed at Hao Yun, her gaze rested on Qin Xiangge.
From the moment Xing Ye asked her first question, Qin Xiangge had jerked her head up.
Then she quickly lowered it again, her hands nervously clutching the edges of her skirt.
Xing Ye... Xing Ye, why did she come to Class A?
Hao Yun felt a bit intimidated by Xing Ye. She had an even worse temper than Gao Yuyue and never minced her words.
Hao Yun stammered, "Y-yeah. Why are you asking?"
Xing Ye sneered and glanced at Qin Xiangge. "Because I was there too."
Hao Yun was momentarily stunned. "You mean you participated in the Huazhao Cup piano competition too?"
"What, is that not allowed?"
Xing Ye didn’t really seem like the type who would play piano.
Xing Ye handed a notebook to Yan Lu. "Thanks."
Yan Lu accepted it cheerfully. "No problem. Don’t forget the Taotie Records you promised me."
Everyone marveled at Yan Lu’s ability to connect with people. Even Xing Ye, who was notoriously difficult, seemed to get along with her pretty well. Their relationship actually looked decent.
Yan Lu asked curiously, "Xing Ye, you participated in the piano competition too? Why didn’t I hear you mention it before?"
"What’s there to mention? Should I announce it to the world? If my family hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t even want to learn. Riding horses is way more fun."
Hao Yun’s face turned pale.
Xing Ye must have done that on purpose.
"But this piano competition did lead me to discover something interesting."
As Xing Ye spoke, a smile spread across her face. Her cheekbones were rather prominent, and when she smiled, it gave off a bitterly cold edge, almost eerie in its chilliness.
Qin Xiangge suddenly stood, her chair scraping loudly against the floor, emitting a harsh, grating noise.
The whole class immediately turned their gaze toward her.
Qin Xiangge took a deep breath. "Xing Ye, I need to talk to you. Come with me..."
With that, she moved as if trying to grab Xing Ye and leave.
Xing Ye brushed her hand away. "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
Qin Xiangge grew anxious. "Just come out with me first..."
Everyone looked at Qin Xiangge’s strange behavior in bewilderment.
What was she trying to do?
Gao Yuyue seemed to catch onto something and exchanged a glance with Yan Lu.
Yan Lu smiled brightly and asked, "Xing Ye, you said you also participated in the piano competition. You must have run into Xiangge there, right? Hao Yun mentioned Xiangge was the first-place winner of the competition and that Mr. Pearl greatly admired her. She’s amazing."
Xing Ye sneered and glanced at Qin Xiangge. "First place? Pearl greatly admired you? Qin Xiangge, you have no shame."
The entire class erupted into commotion.
Something was definitely up.
Qin Xiangge’s face turned pale in an instant, her body trembling as if she were about to collapse.
Shen You’an seemed detached from the scene, pulling out a test paper and calmly focusing on solving problems.
