Tong Yan didn’t care at all, and to be honest, he thought that it was quite refreshing to see Mu Qingxin sitting beside him. He couldn’t explain it, but he didn’t mind looking after her a little longer. Even if they were faking their relationship, he was rather content.
Just as he was laughing, he saw Mu Qingxin taking the sheet music book in front of him. She opened the book and started to write.
It only took less than five minutes for her to identify the entire piece. Soon, the score was finished. Then, she took off his headphones and asked him, “What are you doing with the piece?”
Tong Yan looked at the score and couldn’t help but sigh. This is what we call ‘absolute musicality’, isn’t this?
“My mother often checks on my progress,” Tong Yan answered. He looked at the score, put on his earphones and listened to it again. He let out a sigh at how great Mu Qingxin’s musical senses were.
After that, he took a picture of the score with his mobile phone and sent it to Yin Hua.
After a while, Yin Hua replied: [It’s not the same as your handwriting, did you ask for foreign aid?]
Tong Yan: [Well, my girlfriend helped me.]
Yin Hua: [Girlfriend?]
Tong Yan: [We just dated.]
Yin Hua: [Pigtails?]
Tong Yan: [How did you know?]
Yin Hua: [What is her family background?]
Tong Yan: [Good night.]
Yin Hua: [To hell with your ‘good night’, get back here!]
Tong Yan took a picture of Mu Qingxin’s side profile with his phone and then gave her a look, “I’m sending that to my mother.”
“Huh?!” Mu Qingxin was shocked.
“It’s okay, my family doesn’t really care about this kind of stuff,” Tong Yan sent it to Yin Hua after saying that.
Tong Yan: [Doesn’t her side profile look good? She looks nice from the front too.]
Yin Hua: [Is this a joke?]
Tong Yan: [If you do me a favour, I will obey.]
Yin Hua: [Is that a threat?]
Tong Yan: [Nah, I’m just acting coquettish.]
Not long after Mu Qingxin left the International Class 4, Shen Zhuhang chased after her.
When he followed Mu Qingxin, he was still looking left and right, as if he didn’t want to be seen since his mind had made up some complicated diagram of a three-way relationship. Then, he took Mu Qingxin to the corner and asked her, “Are you really dating Tong Yan?”
“Oh, yes I am.”
“Are you deliberately provoking me?”
“I’m just dating.”
“Am I that bad? Or do you think Tong Yan is more suitable?” Shen Zhuhang was so sad that his eyes were drooping down like a poor puppy.
“Shen Zhuhang, if there was no marriage contract between us, we actually might have been friends since we grew up together. But I don’t like you and I don’t have any feelings for you at all. Besides, there is no way to force me to like you. If I actually am capable of liking you, I would have done that earlier. So, shouldn’t we be happy that we are parting?”
Shen Zhuhang looked at Mu Qingxin for a while before he clenched his fists, seemingly wanting to keep their relationship intact.
Mu Qingxin continued, “If you cooperate with me now, I might even thank you. If we really fall out like this, I’m afraid we can only be enemies. After all, you should know what my temper is like.”
This sentence was a blow to Shen Zhuhang, going as far as to break his final thoughts.
Shen Zhuhang finally nodded and said to her, “I’ll go back and try it out.”
Mu Qingxin felt relieved when she got to hear Shen Zhuhang’s words.
