Chapter 105, Brother……
“Honorable leaders, teachers, dear classmates, everyone——”
“Good evening!”
……
“Lin Shuxue, get ready, you’re about to go on stage.”
“Mm, got it.” Lin Shuxue slowly stood up, dressed in a white dress, holding a jade flute, looking like a fairy descending from the heavens.
She walked to the side of the stage, where a female host who hadn’t gone on stage looked at her outfit in surprise and kindly offered to check her.
At the school, student hosts are usually one male and one female.
As the male host on stage finished speaking, Lin Shuxue slowly stepped onto the stage…..
The audience was packed, and students from other schools like Huang Zhisheng could only stand around the venue.
As soon as Lin Shuxue made her appearance, the background changed, and with the dry ice effect….
The fairy descended from the ethereal realm…..
The entire audience gasped…..
Although it was a hot summer night, the weather seemed to improve with Lin Shuxue’s appearance, a gentle breeze rustling the surrounding camphor trees…..
……
“This is it.”
Jin Mingze pointed from afar at Lin Shuxue playing the flute on stage and continued, “That’s Lin Shuxue.”
“Oh~ so beautiful~” Yu covered her mouth and smiled, but a sense of vigilance arose in her heart.
“Eh, she’s okay, you’re even prettier,” Jin Mingze said, adjusting his glasses nonchalantly.
Feeling self-satisfied: If I compliment her, her favorability towards me must increase, right?
Yu gave a light smile as a response, but the crimson in her eyes flickered again.
“That’s enough.” Cu couldn’t watch any longer, interrupting.
If this continues, he’s going to need a hospital.
Even though Cu really disliked the person in front of her, the teacher had said that magic shouldn’t be used carelessly.
“Uh, I wasn’t talking to you, was I?” Jin Mingze choked, thinking Cu was mocking him, and tried his best to restrain his tone.
Only then did Cu look Jin Mingze in the eye for a second before looking away.
“I take it back.”
Forget it, whatever.
Yu’s lips curled slightly as she let out a cold laugh.
And Jin Mingze, with Cu taking back her words, straightened his back a bit more.
Did she just get shy because she made eye contact with me?
Looks like I still have some charm after all…… (adjusts glasses)
……
“Old Chen…… I can’t believe this……”
After following Chen Yuan for quite a while, Tan Haoxin watched as Chen Yuan directly leaped over the iron railing several meters high into the playground, instantly cursing.
With his build, it was already a problem whether he could get over or not.
Besides, climbing over such a high railing, especially in someone else’s school, it really showed a lack of common sense…..
Fortunately, he was recording everything along the way, Chen Yuan’s every move would become evidence!
As Chen Yuan jumped down from the railing, he could only turn back and give Tan Haoxin an awkward apology…
There was no choice; he wasn’t familiar with South Finance University.
He had thought the playground had several entrances like his own school.
Who knew after circling around the playground, even going around the tennis court and soccer field, he still couldn’t find a second entrance!
So, with no choice, Chen Yuan had to return the same way.
And just now, hearing the host announce for Lin Shuxue to come on stage to perform, he had no choice but to leave.
When he ran back, Xiaoxue had already finished her performance.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Yuan waved his hand, leaving Tan Haoxin, who gripped the railing, angrily cursing, “Old Chen! I can’t believe this!!”
At that moment, the sound of the flute came.
It was…… a melody that didn’t belong to this world…..
Transporting Chen Yuan back into memories…..
【“Brother, I just learned a new tune, do you want to listen?”
“You’re not practicing properly every day…… not resting well……” The man habitually lectured, then realized it was inappropriate and changed his tone.
“Brother…… just listen……”
“Mm, you play.” The man spoke sternly but didn’t take the flute away from her.
She sat on the edge of the stone platform, looking towards the distant desolate mountains and began to play the flute.
The flute sound was clear and bright, but in her hands, it became distant and sorrowful…..
As if she was entrusting all her remaining emotions to the person she wanted to send the tune to…..
After finishing a piece.
“Brother, how was it?”
The man’s expression, already not good, became even worse after her performance: “Not good.”
“Brother……”
“I gave you the flute to encourage you to play some cheerful and bright tunes, yet you still play this low and sorrowful piece.”
“Brother…… I’m sorry……” She clutched the man’s clothing, looking tearfully at him as she apologized.
“If you play this kind of tune again, I won’t come to see you anymore!” The man looked at her with pain, and while saying this, he held her hand tightly.
“I won’t dare…… Brother……”
“Rest well.”
“Brother…… if I play cheerful tunes, you will come to see me, right?”
“Mm, as long as it’s not a pessimistic piece, of course!”
……】
It was…… a desolate and cold piece…..
Infused with many years of meaning, hearing the familiar melody again, even though it was still the same piece, the emotions conveyed this time were completely different.
Chen Yuan could feel her experiences over the years.
Loneliness, sadness, despondency…..
She was blaming herself…..
She was crying…..
Clearly, she had said that if she played this piece, she wouldn’t see him again.
But…..
Chen Yuan rushed forward, running into the venue.
Rushing to the front not far from the stage, he saw the person on stage…..
And she saw him…..
Tears streamed down…..
“Brother……”
