Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Only Instigating Friends to Make Trouble
“Su, you’re wrong about that,” Chi Yan entered from the door, smiling. “Just because you like to sing a certain style doesn’t mean you can’t sing other styles, right?”
Everyone else in the music society nodded in agreement upon hearing Chi Yan’s words.
“Yanyan, how come you’re here?” Xue Yao asked, surprised and delighted.
Chi Yan’s gaze flickered.
She had originally followed Chi Gui in this direction out of curiosity to see what she was up to.
Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon a pleasant surprise.
With that thought, Chi Yan spoke again, “I heard you’ve been practicing a new song all day in the society, so I specifically came to see if there’s anything I could help with.”
Xue Yao was deeply moved by those words. “Yanyan, you’re so kind! Not like some people, who are supposedly close as sisters but have such malicious hearts, only inciting friends to cause trouble…”
“That has nothing to do with Sister Chi!” Su Niannian’s eyes flared with anger. “It was obviously you…”
Chi Yan interrupted Su Niannian with a laugh, “Su, if you’re going to accuse Xue Yao of stealing your song, please provide some evidence.”
“Yeah! Nian Nian, without proof, we can’t just take your word for it,” the others from the society echoed.
Su Niannian was taken aback and her mind went blank.
She didn’t have any evidence!
She had always worked on the composition privately, intending to share it with everyone once it was fully completed.
Then, based on everyone’s feedback, she would make overall adjustments.
Thus, no one had ever heard her sing it!
Seeing Su Niannian’s reaction, Chi Yan smiled and said, “Su, we all understand your desire to win the competition. But even with tactics , you can’t steal someone else’s hard work…”
The others chimed in:
“Right, Nian Nian… You’ve been under a lot of pressure recently…”
“Why don’t you just apologize to Xue Yao…”
Xue Yao waved a hand dismissively, “Forget it, I don’t need her apology! I just want her to stop framing me from now on.”
Listening to everyone’s words, Su Niannian bit her lip fiercely.
Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Chi Gui’s calm voice, “What about your manuscript?”
Su Niannian’s eyes lit up suddenly!
“I have a manuscript!” Su Niannian shouted, pushing Xue Yao, who was in front of her, aside and running to her locker.
The music society had private storage lockers where people kept things they didn’t take home.
The rest followed her.
Chi Yan hung back, giving Xue Yao a glance.
Xue Yao smiled and waggled her eyebrows, making a face that said she was enjoying the drama.
Chi Yan felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Su Niannian, with shaking hands, unlocked her locker.
And quickly, the contents of the locker were revealed to everyone… Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fıre·net
The small compartment was completely empty, without a single item inside!
The others looked at Su Niannian with strange expressions—though no one said anything, their eyes said it all.
“How could this…” Su Niannian frantically searched inside the locker, “That’s impossible! I definitely put the manuscript in here when I went to class this morning!”
“Enough already, Su Niannian, stop pretending and wasting everyone’s time!” Xue Yao spoke with a sneer. “Everyone’s time is precious!”
Saying that, she pulled out a thick pile of paper from her backpack: “To stop you from having any more excuses, I’ll show everyone my manuscript!”
Xue Yao placed the manuscript on a nearby table and everyone gathered around.
As musicians, they understood at a glance.
That manuscript was at least a hundred pages thick, full of scribbles and traces of revisions, each change making perfect sense and completely aligning with the final piece.
Su Niannian also saw those manuscripts, and her eyes suddenly reddened!
