Chapter 48: Senior Student Ziyi Gossips Too
What was even more hateful was that Lu Ziyi performed a duet with Ye Chuxiao! Shui Birong was Lu Ziyi’s high school classmate, and even she didn’t know Lu Ziyi could play the violin!
Lu Ziyi’s debut violin performance in public was actually a duet with Ye Chuxiao!
Her piano playing was universally acknowledged as excellent. For Jin Xian’s birthday party, she was originally invited to perform a solo. Her piano skills could crush Ye Chuxiao in minutes!
It was Ye Chuxiao who used a single-sided blade to sharpen Lu Ziyi’s pencil, causing many girls to imitate her, including herself.
If her fingers hadn’t been injured, she would have been the one playing the piano tonight! And she would have been the one performing the violin duet with Lu Ziyi!
Shui Birong glared at Ye Chuxiao, wishing she could pull her away from Lu Ziyi, tear her to shreds, and make sure she could never get between her and Lu Ziyi again!

When the party was ending, Lin Chusheng went to find Ye Chuxiao. After all, he had invited Xiaoxiao to the party. It wouldn’t be right for him not to pick her up and then not see her home.
Ye Chuxiao was standing at the main entrance of the hall, still with Lu Ziyi.
“Xiaoxiao!” Lin Chusheng quickly walked over from among the departing guests. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry I didn’t spend time with you tonight. I’ll take you home!”
“No need,” Lu Ziyi replied. “I’ll take Xiaoxiao home.”
Lin Chusheng looked at Ye Chuxiao, seeking her opinion.
Ye Chuxiao thought about Brother Chusheng needing to take care of Miss Jie’er, and it wouldn’t be good to trouble him further.
“I’ll go back with Senior Student Ziyi,” Ye Chuxiao replied very sensibly.
“Then… alright,” Lin Chusheng agreed.
“Goodnight, Brother Chusheng!” After bidding farewell to Lin Chusheng, Ye Chuxiao walked beside Lu Ziyi.
Lin Chusheng stood frozen, watching the petite figure leaning against a tall, handsome figure, feeling a sense of melancholy.
Sigh, the little sister has grown up and no longer needs her big brother.
“Chusheng!” A delicate, soft call was followed by a fair arm linking with Lin Chusheng’s.
“Are we going back?” Tang Jie’er asked, her peripheral vision glancing in the direction Ye Chuxiao had left.
“Yes, I’ll take you home.”
“Thank you, Chusheng.” Tang Jie’er stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed Lin Chusheng’s lips.
Lin Chusheng’s heart jolted. Meeting Tang Jie’er’s gaze, which held a hint of charm, reminded him of their passionate first kiss that night in the garden outside the side hall.
“Let’s go, Jie’er.” Lin Chusheng’s voice was a little hoarse. He took Tang Jie’er’s soft hand, interlaced their fingers, and walked towards the parking lot.

A black Porsche drove smoothly down the winding downhill road.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Chuxiao said sincerely, “Thank you, Senior Student Ziyi, for giving me a ride back to school.”
“It’s no trouble.” Lu Ziyi turned his head slightly to look at Ye Chuxiao’s expression. He worried if Xiaoxiao actually preferred Lin Chusheng to drive her home. It was just that Xiaoxiao was so well-behaved and sensible that she didn’t accept Lin Chusheng’s offer.
Xiaoxiao wouldn’t be sad because of this, would she? All the way here, Lu Ziyi wasn’t quiet; he told many interesting stories that happened at school. Seniors were always knowledgeable about such things.
“Senior Student Ziyi, I thought you were oblivious to worldly affairs,” Ye Chuxiao said cheerfully. “I didn’t know you knew so much gossip!”
“Gossip?” Lu Ziyi stopped the car and looked at Ye Chuxiao.
“Uh…” Ye Chuxiao awkwardly touched her forehead. “That… inside information? Secret history?”
Lu Ziyi coughed and chuckled, lowering his voice. “Actually, it’s just gossip.”
