Chapter 257: Lu Ziyi, You Really Hold a Grudge!
Hmph! Lin Chusheng looked at Lu Ziyi’s spirited appearance, a blockage in his chest, and cursed inwardly, “Bastard!”
He hadn’t fully grasped the extent of Lu Ziyi’s scheming nature; he had intended to dig a pit for him, but instead, he had helped him!
When contestant number 27 was about to go on stage, Lin Chusheng was backstage, watching with his own eyes as Lu Ziyi led Ye Chuxiao out by the hand.
The entire school believed Ye Chuxiao to be Lu Ziyi’s rumored girlfriend. At such a grand occasion, their appearance together on stage caused the entire auditorium’s audience to erupt, with shouts of joy and whistles echoing.
Teacher Liu, seated at the judges’ seat, was surprised to see Lu Ziyi appearing with another girl. She turned her head and saw her proud disciple, Nangong Yanting, sitting in the VIP seat.
Nangong Yanting shrugged, acting as if it had nothing to do with her, and mumbled, “They wanted to perform together.” If Teacher Liu were to blame anyone, she would definitely push the responsibility onto Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao.
The matter had come to this, so Teacher Liu said nothing and waited for the performance to begin.
As Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao bowed to the audience together, some mischievous students shouted, “First bow to heaven and earth!” causing everyone to erupt in cheers and laughter.
Lu Ziyi remained calm and composed, but Ye Chuxiao was very nervous. She was already unsure of herself, having only practiced the dance for six hours. The audience’s laughter made her flustered.
As Lu Ziyi led Ye Chuxiao towards the piano, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, “I’m here, I’m here too!”
Ye Chuxiao remembered Senior Student Jin Xian’s birthday banquet last semester, when she and Lu Ziyi performed a piano and violin duet. Senior Student Ziyi had also said to her then, “How could I let you be alone?”
It was good that he was here; no matter the result, they would bear it together!
Ye Chuxiao took a deep breath, allowing her nervous heart to gradually calm down.
Lin Chusheng watched from backstage, grinding his teeth in frustration! Lu Ziyi was doing this on purpose. When they were about to start the competition and hand out the number plates, he had turned back to whisper to Xiaoxiao. Lu Ziyi had been staring at him with ill intent then, and now he was getting his revenge!
Lu Ziyi was truly going too far. He had only whispered to Xiaoxiao at the backstage entrance, but Lu Ziyi, in front of the entire audience, was biting Xiaoxiao’s ear!
Lu Ziyi, you are truly a man who holds grudges! So petty!
Ye Chuxiao sat down at the piano, and Lu Ziyi returned to the center of the stage. The performance began.
As Ye Chuxiao’s slender, fair hands danced nimbly across the black and white piano keys, the prelude music began to play with a light and ethereal melody.
The auditorium, which had been so boisterous moments before, seemed to be cleansed by the pure piano notes and quickly fell silent.
Amidst the background music, Lu Ziyi began to sing: “I can follow behind you, like a shadow chasing a dream of light, I can wait at this crossroads, no matter if you pass by…”
Lu Ziyi’s magnetic voice sang in a slow and deep tone, infused with all his sincere emotion, as if pouring out his heart, each word striking people’s hearts.
As the interlude was about to begin, a spotlight shone on Lu Ziyi. He walked towards Ye Chuxiao, stood beside her, and looked down at her gently, while Ye Chuxiao also lifted her innocent face and looked up at Lu Ziyi.
That youthful, innocent emotion, so pure and beautiful, flowed from the eyes and bodies of the cool, handsome, and elegant boy and the delicate, beautiful, and simple girl, as if touching the softest part of people’s hearts.
