Chapter 258 - 258 Them Five Years Ago

258 Them Five Years Ago

Shen Ruojing lazily drove the car and arrived at Ford City Music Academy.

However, her car wasn’t registered with the school, so she couldn’t drive the car into the school like Yun Yiheng. Since that was the case, she stopped at the parking lot outside the school and then walked in.

The university was filled with vitality. Seeing this scene made her recall the moment when she and puppy-like Chu Cichen were students many years ago. It was back when they were in a relationship.

She had studied at a university before.

Although she had had to go overseas often for missions, there was no problem with her resume in her home country.

Back then, she attended Sea City University, which was also a top-notch university in the country. She would then occasionally ask Chu Cichen to come to her school, but he’d always say that he had something on and asked her to meet outside.

This also led to her failing to find him despite going around and wanting to prove that she had been in a relationship with him before.

He had never entered her life before.

And she had never known his friends.

At that time, she had many secrets of her own that she didn’t want others to know too much about. Therefore, she also respected Chu Cichen’s privacy very much. She never went to his workplace to look for him and never went to visit his family.

They were like the most familiar strangers to each other. It wasn’t until he disappeared that she realized she never really knew him.

Now that she thought about it, he must have been wary of her back then.

As her imagination ran wild, she wandered around the school. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. It was actually Chu Cichen?

Didn’t he go and verify the news he received?

Why was he here?

These two thoughts made her want to follow over to take a look. Suddenly, a student stopped her and asked excitedly, “A…are, are you Teacher Anonymous?”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

This student’s voice was too shrill, causing everyone in the surroundings to look over. Then, all of them surrounded her!

“It’s really Teacher Anonymous!”

“My god! I’ve seen [Masked Singers] before!”

“Ahhh, Teacher Anonymous, I’m your fan! You’re my idol!”

“…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After Shen Ruojing was surrounded, when she looked in front again, she realized that Chu Cichen had disappeared around the corner.

Did she see it wrongly?

Shen Ruojing wanted to chase, but the students were too enthusiastic and obstructed her.

She frowned slightly and was just about to dash out when a voice rang out. “Everyone, don’t crowd around Teacher Anonymous! This is too rude! It’ll let Teacher Anonymous have a bad impression of us!”

A rational voice caused everyone to make way. They then saw a warm-looking guy walking up to Shen Ruojing. “Teacher Anonymous, I’m the student president. Our school’s students all have high inner qualities. They’re just too agitated to see you, that’s why they’ve lost their cool. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Students on a university campus were still relatively innocent.

Shen Ruojing nodded.

The student president then asked, “May I know why you’ve come here?”

“To look for someone,” Shen Ruojing said calmly. “Do you know where Yun Yiheng is?”

As a member of the Yun Family, Yun Yiheng was considered a famous person in the school. The moment Shen Ruojing asked this, the student president immediately said, “I know where he is. I’ll bring you there!”

The other students didn’t continue to obstruct Shen Ruojing. Even though they looked very excited, they didn’t charge up and only followed behind from afar, jumping excitedly.

When Shen Ruojing left with the student president, she turned to take another look but didn’t see Chu Cichen again.

She had no idea what he had found that made him need to come here.

Shen Ruojing then shook her head and didn’t think further. She followed the student president to the activity room.

As soon as she arrived at the activity building, she saw many students gathered on the second floor. They seemed to be watching a show. She then took two steps closer and happened to hear Yun Yiheng roaring, “Who asked you to come?!”

Wen Yuyi said earnestly, “Yun Yiheng, you’re the only one in your band now, so this activity room won’t be needed anymore. I’ve gone to the teacher to apply for it. This activity room is the largest in the school. Now that our band has a few more people, the activity room we were using previously won’t be enough. That’s why we have to use this. You can’t be so selfish, right?”

Yun Yiheng was furious.

He had never expected that after Fatty and the others left, Wen Yuyi would still come to snatch his territory.

Although he applied for this activity room from the school, everything inside was renovated with his own money. Now, it was going to be given to someone else?

Yun Yiheng sneered. “Wen Yuyi, stop pretending to be righteous here. Do you think I don’t understand what you’re thinking? Isn’t it because you snatched my sister’s fiancé and were chased out by our family? You felt indignant and that’s why you are playing such tricks in school to disgust me.”

Wen Yuyi lowered her eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about? Yun Yiheng, we’re all classmates. I also have the document with the school’s stamp to approve my use of this classroom. I don’t think you will go against the rules and stop us, right?”

The students from Wen Yuyi’s band also spoke up.

“Yun Yiheng, could it be that your folk music band can’t beat us, so you want to interfere like this?”

“That’s right. Music festival competitions should be fair and just. It’s really too embarrassing for you to use such tricks!”

“People from the folk music department are just old-fashioned and vulgar. Their inner quality is extremely low!”

Some people from the folk music department were unhappy when they heard this. They started arguing.

“Our folk music department preserves the spread of Chinese culture. We’re unlike you guys who sell your ancestors’ culture for glory and fawn over the west!”

“There’s a saying in China that says to take the essence and remove the dregs. We’ll learn other musical instruments to create better music. What’s wrong with that? On the other hand, you guys are stuck in your old ways! Country bumpkins!”

“Folk music also has classic pieces! [High Mountain and Running River], [Plum Blossom Melodies], and so on are all well-known internationally!”

“Ha, what a joke. We’re already sick of listening to these classic pieces. Don’t you guys have any new pieces? You think you’re so amazing just because you’re holding onto those few pieces you have? Society is improving and so is music! Look at orchestral music. Over the years, many famous pieces have been created!”

The moment this was mentioned, the people from the folk music department choked on their words.

It was true that internationally renowned composers these days all used Western musical instruments. Eastern classical music hadn’t had any new pieces for hundreds of years.

This was also why Yun Yiheng insisted on patching up the missing parts for [Coldness of Plum Blossoms].

Someone from the folk music department called out weakly, “Then, then aren’t you guys also playing old pieces?”

“But we have new pieces introduced! Teacher Anonymous wrote a symphony piece many years ago that took the music circle by storm. What about you guys? Hehe, all the talk about western Anonymous and eastern Qing Dai. What renowned pieces does Qing Dai have? How is she worthy of being mentioned at the same level as our Teacher Anonymous?!”

“That’s right, Teacher Anonymous is the most amazing!”

Just as everyone was talking, someone suddenly saw Shen Ruojing and instantly shouted out in surprise, “Teacher Anonymous?”

“Teacher Anonymous! What do you think? Isn’t orchestral music better than their folk music?”

Yun Yiheng also turned to look at Shen Ruojing abruptly, his gaze suddenly exuding complicated and resentful emotions.

Anonymous was almost like the common enemy for the entire folk music.

She became the representative figure for orchestral music and was revered as a god-like existence by them. She had also become the sharp weapon for them to attack folk music!

When Wen Yuyi saw Shen Ruojing, she also raised her brows slightly and smiled. “Teacher Anonymous, do you think orchestral music is better or folk music?”

As a representative figure for western musical instruments, Shen Ruojing mustn’t speak badly of western musical instruments. And it was impossible for her to praise eastern musical instruments either. After all, her praises would sound like she was talking big.

After all, if she recognized eastern musical instruments, why did she only learn western musical instruments?

Therefore, Shen Ruojing should only have one answer to this question. Regardless of what her reply was, her existence alone supported western musical instruments.

Wasn’t Yun Yiheng not willing to recognize Wen Yuyi as his cousin and only willing to recognize Shen Ruojing?

Then she shall let Shen Ruojing give him a harsh smack in the face!
