Chapter 373: I Will Conquer Her with My Talent
Ye Liang Chen flipped his hair dramatically, straightened his clothes, and flashed a confident smile as he headed towards Lin Wan Ning.
Xue Shao Hua, witnessing this spectacle, immediately grabbed Ye Liang Chen’s arm. The recent incident with Li Qing Xue was still fresh in his mind.
In Xue Shao Hua’s opinion, the best strategy was to remain calm, wait for a chance to hold something over Dragon Brother, and then use him to leverage Hu Yu Ying, Li Qing Xue, and Lin Wan Ning.
But Ye Liang Chen was all smiles: “Don’t worry! Wan Ning is different from Qing Xue. She has an almost perfect passion for music, and all I have to do is win her over with my talent!”
In his previous life’s dream, Lin Wan Ning’s dedication to music was deeply ingrained in her—something Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue didn’t possess.
People who were passionate about music had incredibly pure hearts. In their eyes, anyone who showed strong desire for music could potentially be a kindred spirit.
And by pure coincidence, thanks to his past life’s memories, Ye Liang Chen still remembered a few hit pop songs!
After all, in his dream, he’d already become the favored pet among Hu Yu Ying and her friends at a young age, encountering countless fun things. Although he wasn’t fond of singing, he’d heard enough to remember the catchy parts!
So, with a clear throat and a smile, Ye Liang Chen sauntered over to Lin Wan Ning.
“Shake it, shake it, sway it, sway it, only I can rock it, shake it!~” He sang as he twisted his body in a very questionable motion.
When he reached Lin Wan Ning’s side, he twirled around like he was auditioning for a dance-off: “Only I, the ultimate dancer!~~”
Having pulled off his grand performance, he pretended to be surprised, “Wan Ning?”
“Sorry to interrupt you,” he said as he awkwardly gave a gentlemanly bow to express his apology. “I was inspired by the beautiful atmosphere around the music academy and ended up creating this song. Since you also study music, what do you think?”
With a superior flick of his hair, he confidently met Lin Wan Ning’s gaze. For others, getting through to her with music might be tricky, but for him, it was just a matter of putting in some effort!
After all, he had the upper hand of being reborn!
However, the moment he raised his head, instead of the astonished look he expected from Lin Wan Ning, he was met with a long, fair hand.
Slap!
The smack landed on his face before he had a chance to react, leaving him momentarily dazed.
Lin Wan Ning shot a disgusted look at Ye Liang Chen: “You disgusting creep.”
She couldn’t stand guys like him, crawling after Qing Xue and now bothering her—did he think of himself as some kind of love guru or something?
After smacking him, Lin Wan Ning felt a tingle in her palm but was not afraid; instead, she felt a rush of satisfaction, avenging Qing Xue.
She brushed past the stunned Ye Liang Chen and frowned at Xue Shao Hua.
Xue Shao Hua instinctively stepped aside, and Lin Wan Ning quickened her pace to get away.
Her heart raced with excitement and a touch of fear.
So she picked up speed even more!
It was only when Lin Wan Ning was far away that Ye Liang Chen regained his senses, reaching up to touch the spot where she had slapped him.
“Are you okay?” Xue Shao Hua rushed over, looking concerned at the dazed expression on Ye Liang Chen’s face.
Ye Liang Chen’s mouth twitched, as if he couldn’t quite process that he had just been slapped by Lin Wan Ning.
“What just happened?”
Xue Shao Hua looked at him, bewildered: “You just got slapped by Lin Wan Ning.”
“I got slapped?!”
“Yeah! Didn’t your face hurt?”
Just then, Ye Liang Chen gasped, closing his eyes tightly while clutching his chest: “I can’t believe I got hit! Haha, I’m laughing! I’m really laughing here…”
He suddenly shot up his head, his eyes blazing with fury: “Time for a catch-and-release! I’m definitely going to chase after that girl!”
“Are you okay?” Xue Shao Hua asked, still worried about Ye Liang Chen’s reaction.
“This is getting interesting, haha…” Ye Liang Chen looked at Xue Shao Hua with a devilish grin. “I was going to give them a chance, but they didn’t cherish it! So don’t blame me!”
“When I throw you over my shoulder, I hope you still think you’re so high and mighty!”
…
“Hahaha, you should have seen the look on his face!”
Lin Wan Ning was back in her dorm, sitting on her bed with her phone, laughing uncontrollably.
On the video, Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue looked utterly shocked.
It was Li Qing Xue who reacted first: “Great slap!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan Ning basked in her triumph: “That’s right! I just smacked him right across the face.” She demonstrated the motion, still animated.
“Hehe, Qing Xue, consider this revenge for you!” Lin Wan Ning tilted her graceful neck, clearly fishing for compliments.
“I love you, Wan Ning! Mua~” Li Qing Xue blew a kiss at the screen.
“Sweetie, you didn’t really hear what I told you before, did you?” Hu Yu Ying sighed, feeling a mix of joy and a little worry.
“I did hear you, but he wouldn’t stop being annoying in front of me!” The moment Lin Wan Ning heard Hu Yu Ying’s comment, she turned serious.
“You have no idea how he looked! If Sister was here, she wouldn’t hesitate to slap him too!”
“And don’t worry, Sister, I didn’t back down! After I slapped him, I ran off immediately…”
Hu Yu Ying chuckled; Lin Wan Ning was right—she considered herself pretty good-tempered, but would lose it around Ye Liang Chen.
Imagining the scene described by Lin Wan Ning, Hu Yu Ying couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle: “What a little rascal.”
Seeing that Hu Yu Ying wasn’t mad at her for not listening, Lin Wan Ning quickly mirrored Li Qing Xue and blew a big kiss to the screen.
“Next time, just walk away from him. Dragon Brother said we shouldn’t engage with people like him, who clearly have issues.”
“Got it! I won’t next time, I promise!”
Then Lin Wan Ning suddenly remembered something and said to Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue, “Oh! I also saw Xue Shao Hua. Those two are mixing around! If you see him on campus, just pretend you didn’t see him.”
“Hmph! I knew Xue Shao Hua wasn’t anything special. We won’t acknowledge him!” Li Qing Xue scoffed.
Hu Yu Ying didn’t mind much since Dragon Brother was there…
