She had always had self-serving motives, but had never really considered what would happen if Helian Yi’s performance failed?
"No need, Sister Xinzhi, just go find Bertrand and strive to get his recognition. You don’t need to worry about things on my end; I can handle it myself." Helian Yi glanced at the time. "It’s pretty late for you already, get some rest early!"
"Well then! As long as there’s no problem on your end. I just worry that my issues might disrupt your concert," Shen Xinzhu didn’t think much of it, not reaching out to Yang Yun was fine with her.
No matter who it is, no one would surpass her in the end.
What Shen Xinzhu least expected at that moment was that Helian Yi chose Lu Xingzhi.
"Alright, bye-bye." Helian Yi hung up the phone and walked over towards Lu Xingzhi.
Ugly, with average playing skills—how could he compare to Lu Xingzhi?
At this moment, Lu Xingzhi looked at Helian Yi with a face full of responsibility, "So, Shen Xinzhu went to find Bertrand? To gain his recognition, hoping to become his student, so she stood you up?"
Helian Yi awkwardly touched his chin, "Ahem... Anyone who wants to learn piano wishes to become Bertrand’s student. You should understand this."
"Bertrand wouldn’t fancy her." Lu Xingzhi said directly.
"Doesn’t fancy her, but would fancy you?" Helian Yi couldn’t help but retort her.
"I am his student." Lu Xingzhi said earnestly.
"Could you at least smile when making jokes?" Helian Yi curled his lips. Lu Xingzhi had nothing to do with Bertrand, how could he be her teacher, yet she brazenly claimed it.
Besides, no one had ever heard of Bertrand having students.
Lu Xingzhi was helpless, these days, no one seemed to believe the truth.
She really was Bertrand’s student.
"Heh..." Lu Xingzhi shot him a cold smile, "He even begged to take me in!"
Lu Xingzhi pouted unhappily, not even wanting to talk to Helian Yi.
She actually felt quite guilty. She had promised to find him after she became an adult, but...
Now, she didn’t have the face to see her teacher.
"Hey, you’re not that petty, right? I didn’t even say anything." Helian Yi saw Lu Xingzhi’s suddenly dim face, and irritably scratched his head, "If you look like that, Third Brother will scold me again."
"I’m not upset because of what you said." Lu Xingzhi rubbed her cheeks; she was angry with herself.
She hadn’t done well enough.
"Then why?" Helian Yi didn’t understand.
"It’s nothing." Lu Xingzhi took a deep breath again, "Let me play it one more time!"
Helian Yi found her strange but said nothing.
Lu Xingzhi played the piece once more, and only then did she relax.
Forget it, it’s not worth the thought.
However, Shen Xinzhu wanting to gain Bertrand’s favor was absolutely impossible.
Lu Xingzhi thought gleefully.
Ding Shan quickly brought the stuff back, Helian Yi took out the milk tea and cake and handed them to Lu Xingzhi. "Here."
"Mm, thank you!" Lu Xingzhi took it, immediately opened the milk tea, and took a big sip.
Satisfied, she squinted her eyes, "It really tastes so good!"
Helian Yi looked at her, wondering, could it really be that good?
It’s just a cup of milk tea after all.
Is it really that special?
