Chapter 74: Chapter 74 - 74 Childhood Sweethearts

74 Childhood Sweethearts

“Piano, violin, and vocals are not easy to combine. I’ll find a song. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll sing a foreign song.” Sun Ting was very sensitive to music. He felt that Wang Chen’s voice was very gentle and not suitable for songs with too strong a style.

“I can’t do it. My worst grade is in foreign languages.” Hearing Sun Ting’s words, Wang Chen hurriedly declined.

“I can teach you. We’re the opposite. I’m the best in foreign languages out of all subjects.” Sun Ting grew up overseas, so this was not difficult for him at all.

Wang Chen smiled in embarrassment. He felt that if Sun Ting were to tutor him with his terrible foreign language skills, Sun Ting would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

!!

“Forget it. Let’s try another song. What if there’s something more suitable?” Wang Chen was really not confident in his foreign language skills.

“Children, come and eat some fruits.” Wei Lan walked in with an exquisite fruit plate.

“Are you choosing the song for the performance?” Wei Lan was also very surprised when she heard Fang Yao and his friend were preparing to perform at the school gala.

“Yes, but we haven’t chosen a suitable one yet.” Yuan Xiao took the fruit from Wei Lan’s hand and said to her.

“Then I’ll find a friend to write a song for you.” Wei Lan liked Yuan Xiao very much. She knew that it was all thanks to Yuan Xiao that her son’s grades could improve.

“It’s too troublesome, Auntie. Besides, we’re not professionals.” Yuan Xiao was embarrassed to trouble Wei Lan, but she was a little tempted by her suggestion.

After all, Wei Lan was a very famous pianist. The composer she knew must be very professional. If she could get help, Yuan Xiao would be one step closer to obtaining the additional reward.

“It’s fine. She lives near my house and is on vacation now. It’s not troublesome.” Wei Lan was very enthusiastic. This was the first time she had seen Fang Yao have so many friends.

“Mom, do you want Aunt Carol to compose for us?” Fang Yao asked.

“Yes, she just happened to return to the country. She’s resting at home now.”

Wei Lan spoke calmly, but Wang Chen could not hide the excitement in his heart.

Carol was a famous composer both locally and abroad. She was especially good at combining classical and popular music. Wang Chen had heard many of her songs and could be considered a fan.

Fang Yao was a little worried. “Did Aunt Carol return to the country alone?”

“Of course not. Zhu Zhu is also back, but she’s staying at her grandmother’s house now. She won’t be back for a month.” Wei Lan noticed Yuan Xiao beside Fang Yao and regretted mentioning Meng Zhu. She thought for a moment and walked out of the room to call her friend.

Fang Yao looked terrible. If Meng Zhu returned to China, it would be the beginning of his nightmare.

“Oh my god, Meng Zhu has returned to the country!” Sun Ting was also very surprised when he heard Wei Lan’s words. He turned around and said to Fang Yao, who was silent, “If she comes back, tell me in advance so that I can hide.”

Sun Ting’s appearance was a little exaggerated. His description of Meng Zhu made Yuan Xiao and Wang Chen curious.

“Who is Meng Zhu?” Yuan Xiao asked the gloomy Fang Yao calmly.

“Oh, she’s the neighbor’s daughter. I don’t have a good relationship with her,” Fang Yao explained awkwardly, but he realized that Yuan Xiao clearly did not believe him.

“How long have you known each other?”

Yuan Xiao’s attitude made it clear that he could not just give a patronizing answer. Fang Yao replied obediently, “Since she was six years old. Her mother and my mother are very good friends.”

For some reason, Fang Yao felt a little guilty even though he had nothing to do with Meng Zhu.

“Oh, so you’re childhood sweethearts?” Yuan Xiao’s tone was a little strange, and Fang Yao felt even more uneasy.

“Meng Zhu and I have known each other since we were six or seven years old. Yuan Xiao, don’t misunderstand Brother Fang Yao. It’s indeed impossible for them to have any relationship.” Sun Ting was afraid that his words would cause conflict between Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao, so he hurriedly explained.

“Sun Ting is right. How can Meng Zhu be considered a childhood sweetheart? She’s more like a sworn enemy!” Fang Yao thought of Meng Zhu’s past actions and felt a chill in his heart.

“That girl is very scary. Let’s not mention her. Just thinking about it makes me depressed.”

Fang Yao did not look like he was lying. Yuan Xiao did not continue to ask. After all, they had not confirmed their relationship. Even if Fang Yao had another girlfriend, Yuan Xiao had no reason to question him.

However, Yuan Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable.
