Tong Yan didnât care at all, and to be honest, he thought that it was quite refreshing to see Mu Qingxin sitting beside him. He couldnât explain it, but he didnât 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, âWhat are you doing with the piece?â
Tong Yan looked at the score and couldnât help but sigh. This is what we call âabsolute musicalityâ, isnât this?
âMy mother often checks on my progress,â 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 Qingxinâs 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: [Itâs 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 âgood nightâ, get back here!]
Tong Yan took a picture of Mu Qingxinâs side profile with his phone and then gave her a look, âIâm sending that to my mother.â
âHuh?!â Mu Qingxin was shocked.
âItâs okay, my family doesnât really care about this kind of stuff,â Tong Yan sent it to Yin Hua after saying that.
Tong Yan: [Doesnât 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, Iâm 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 didnât 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, âAre you really dating Tong Yan?â
âOh, yes I am.â
âAre you deliberately provoking me?â
âIâm just dating.â
âAm I that bad? Or do you think Tong Yan is more suitable?â Shen Zhuhang was so sad that his eyes were drooping down like a poor puppy.
âShen Zhuhang, if there was no marriage contract between us, we actually might have been friends since we grew up together. But I donât like you and I donât 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, shouldnât we be happy that we are parting?â
Shen Zhuhang looked at Mu Qingxin for a while before he clenched his fists, seemingly wanting to keep their relationship intact.
Mu Qingxin continued, âIf you cooperate with me now, I might even thank you. If we really fall out like this, Iâm afraid we can only be enemies. After all, you should know what my temper is like.â
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, âIâll go back and try it out.â
Mu Qingxin felt relieved when she got to hear Shen Zhuhangâs words.
