âWhatâs the girlâs name?â someone yelled out.
âCanât say,â Du Yuhang smiled, the perfect gentleman, âAs long as she can hear whatâs in my heart, thatâs enough.â
Suddenly, the teasing voices rose again.
Du Yuhangâs gaze slowly swept over the crowd of girls, stopping at a certain spot. There, he noticed that Li Yang hadnât even lifted her head, seemingly chatting with someone on her phone.
The soft glow from the phoneâs screen fell on her face, highlighting her fair cheeks.
He felt a slight disappointment but was not discouraged. His fingers gently touched the guitar strings; this was a little-known gem of a song he had discovered a short while ago, which was somewhat popular at the moment.
But as for guitar playing and singing, he could be counted as one of the earliest to cover it.
As the intro began, the surrounding area quietened down. The girls in the front row looked up at Du Yuhang, their hearts touched by the sight of the warm-eyed handsome man before them, listening as he slowly started to sing.
âThe storyâs little wild flower, fluttering by since the year it was born.â
Upon hearing the familiar lyrics, Li Yang suddenly looked up, her face filled with confusion as she stared ahead. Eventually, her gaze locked onto Du Yuhang, and she couldnât help but stare blankly.
âQing Tianâ? Isnât that something Brother Xu wrote?
Caught in her thoughts, this scene was captured perfectly by Du Yuhang, a flicker of joy passing through his eyes. It was working; she was looking at me!
She must like me!
And so, Du Yuhang played even more fervently, pouring his all into the performance.
âOn the windy day, I tried to hold your handâ¦â
Li Yang slowly came back to her senses and glanced at her phone, just as a message from Xu Qingyan popped up, advising her to observe more and speak less in the office on her first day.
She typed a dutiful âOkay.â
In the circle, Du Yuhang just finished singing âQing Tianâ and instantly received thunderous applause. Accompanied by exclamations of awe, he received the highest honor of the military training.
In that moment, an unconscious smile played upon Du Yuhangâs lips.
He knew he had now secured that âpriority mating rightâ pass, all that was left was⦠He confidently turned his head but couldnât find Li Yangâs figure.
Under a tree backlit by the sun, Li Yang answered a call, softly greeting, âBrother.â
âMmm, that company isnât far from your university.â
âI know.â
âAlways tell a friend or send a message before you go out,â Xu Qingyan seemed to be eating, instructing her over the phone.
âYour university area isnât absolutely safe, and you need to be cautious when you take a part-time job. Also, remember to bring back some snacks for your roommates each time.â
âWhy?â
âBecause youâre starting an internship early, just maintain a good relationship, donât tell your roommates too much,â Xu Qingyan said, âIf they ask, just say youâre not getting paid.â
Li Yang thought for a moment and responded with a simple âOkay.â
âAlright, thatâs it then, call me if anything comes up.â
Standing on the edge of the square, under the tree where there wasnât much light, she clutched the phone. Realizing Xu Qingyan was about to hang up, she suddenly mustered up the courage.
âBrother!â
âHmm? Whatâs up?â Xu Qingyanâs voice came through rustling sounds; he seemed to have moved the phone away, and faintly, she could hear him say, âDamn, Shen Jinyue, you⦠youâre such a glutton, stealing my food?â@@novelbin@@
Li Yangâs breathing became a little heavy, her hands gripping the phone, listening to a sweet female voice on the other end saying that itâs hers if she spit on it.
Listening to their interaction, Li Yang suddenly felt rather petty.
Although she didnât understand why the idea of pettiness had flashed through her mind all of a sudden, it was there, and it shamed her to even voice it.
On the other end, Xu Qingyanâs voice became clear again.
âWhat is it?â
âNothing, thank you, Brother,â Li Yang said softly, a sincere smile appearing on her face, feeling like she should add something more.
She indeed had many things she wanted to say, but for some reason, remembering the female voice from moments ago, she instinctively chose silence.
âOkay.â Xu Qingyan hung up the call.
âWho was that?â Shen Jinyue munched on the piece of meat she had snatched and looked up curiously at Xu Qingyan, âI noticed you gave very detailed instructions.â
âA younger sister back home, kind of like a sister without blood ties,â he replied.
âGeez, Xu Qingyan, youâre so weird!â Shen Jinyue said with disdain, âWhat kind of description is that, a sister without blood ties, yuck!â
