Chapter 60 "Do you really only see her as a younger sister?"

Shen Yanci was stunned.

Song Shiyi didn't say anything more; there was no need to say too much.

She believed that Shen Yanci was not the kind of person who would argue unreasonably.

Moreover, he had no reason to do so.

She tugged at He Jinzhao's sleeve and said calmly, "Let's go."

As Song Shiyi passed Ji Siyu, she paused slightly, nodded obediently, and said, "Sister Siyu, I'm sorry."

Ji Siyu was somewhat bewildered.

Why apologize to her?

Song Shiyi did nothing wrong.

This made her a little embarrassed.

She curved her lips into a beautiful smile.

"Shiyi, if you need anything in the future, you can come to the student council to find me. I said I'll protect you."

These words carried a greater degree of sincerity compared to when they first met.

"Thank you, Sister Siyu."

Ji Siyu waved her hand and casually asked, "What program did you sign up for?"

They've all run into each other here, so their purpose for coming here is self-evident.

The fact that each freshman class had to put on a performance was decided by their arts and culture department, so naturally they knew about it.

She could understand Song Shiyi's participation, but—

She glanced at He Jinzhao, her expression strange.

He's a graduate student, performing with a freshman?

Song Shiyi hadn't expected her to ask this, and after a pause, she replied, "It's an instrumental ensemble."

"You two also played a four-hand piano duet?"

Ji Siyu was a little surprised. Could it be that they had run into each other?

That would be very awkward.

Shen Yanci had just recovered from Song Shiyi's words when he heard Ji Siyu's surprised remark. He raised his eyelids and calmly said:

"Your piano skills aren't very good, let's switch to another one."

He said that for her own good.

Both he and Ji Siyu are top-notch.

As for He Jinzhao, he had never heard of him and knew nothing about him.

But thinking about it, it's not much better.

Compared to the other side, I'm afraid they'll look bad in the end.

He meant well by reminding me.

He Jinzhao put his hands behind his head and said lazily, "You guys are playing a four-handed duet?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Song Shiyi turned his head to look.

He Jinzhao smiled and said, "We are not."

Shen Yanci: "..."

Song Shiyi was already used to it, and just smiled faintly.

She knew it.

Ji Siyu asked curiously, "Then what are you?"

He Jinzhao was also curious, "Aren't you in the student council? Didn't you see the program?"

Ji Siyu choked. She had been busy dating and cultivating her relationship with Shen Yanci lately, and she didn't have many classes as she was a junior.

As the head of the arts and culture department, she delegated all tasks to her subordinates.

I only glanced at the program list and didn't really pay attention to it.

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Song Shiyi gave He Jinzhao a disgruntled look and said, "Don't be so sarcastic."

He Jinzhao looked aggrieved. "I'm innocent!"

Song Shiyi had some doubts.

He Jinchao feigned sadness and said, "You actually don't believe me."

"I'm broken."

Ji Siyu and Song Shiyi: "..."

I've said it so many times, there's no future for comedians!

Shen Yanci couldn't manage a smile.

The image is too glaring.

He didn't want to see it, but he couldn't help it.

In the end, all they could do was remain silent and humiliating.

Song Shiyi was somewhat helpless and gave him a look that signaled him to calm down.

Then, looking at Ji Siyu, he said, "We are performing a cello and piano duet."

Ji Siyu nodded, the awkwardness from before gone. She smiled and said generously, "Then I wish you a successful performance."

"Thank you, you too."

After saying goodbye, the group stopped talking and left side by side with Song Shiyi and He Jinzhao.

Shen Yanci watched her retreating figure, his eyes flickering with emotion.

Seeing that the person had left, Ji Siyu stopped pretending and immediately put on a sullen face, saying unhappily, "What did you mean by that just now?"

Shen Yanci was currently upset and didn't want to talk.

He casually replied, "What could I possibly mean? She's my sister, what's wrong with me showing concern?"

Ji Siyu sneered, her eyes sharp: "Do you really only see her as a younger sister?"

Shen Yanci raised his eyes, his gaze shifting slightly, and his already slightly furrowed brows tightened even more.

What are you saying?

What else could he consider Song Shiyi if not a younger sister?

He doesn't like her.

When the idea popped into his mind, he was immediately stunned.

Why would he think that?

He only saw Song Shiyi as a younger sister; if he really liked her, she would have been his long ago.

But why does he feel uncomfortable when he sees others getting close to her?

He had previously thought that He Jinzhao had no feelings for her, so he didn't think anything of it.

But things are different now.

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, it was too obvious.

There's no way he wouldn't have noticed.

He comforted himself, thinking that no other brother would want his sister to be kidnapped.

He must be like that too.

Yes, that's right.

However, he still couldn't help thinking about it.

Does he really have no other feelings for Song Shiyi?

His lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes held an inscrutable expression.

Ji Siyu became even angrier when she saw him remain silent.

She immediately turned her back and tried to leave.

"You can practice by yourself. I'm going back now."

Shen Yanci snapped out of his daze, grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and held her close.

He composed himself and gently coaxed, with a mixture of helplessness and affection, "Why are you still angry?"

"I really don't have any other feelings for her. Don't you know who I like the most?"

Ji Siyu stared at him suspiciously. "Really?"

Shen Yanci kissed her cheek, his tone affectionate.

"Of course, I love you the most, baby."

"Don't be angry, okay?"

"I was wrong."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Ji Siyu stopped being petty and reluctantly nodded.

"Alright, I'll forgive you this time."

Shen Yanci smiled slightly, the smile not reaching his eyes, and then lowered his head to kiss her lips, saying gently, "Then let's start rehearsing."

"Didn't you want to show it off in front of the entire school?"

"Tomorrow, we will definitely amaze everyone."

"Okay, let's begin."

Shen Yanci had originally had little interest in this performance, but now—

He wanted to show Song Shiyi just how dazzling he would be tomorrow.

—

People started arriving at the auditorium around 6 p.m., and by 6:30 p.m. it was packed.

Everyone sitting in their seats looked excited and happy.

The auditorium was large and the atmosphere was lively, filled with the sounds of people talking and discussing with their friends.

Si Yue came alone. Apart from her, the other three girls in her dormitory were all participating in the show, so they were all backstage preparing their makeup and styling.

She originally wanted to join in the fun, but there were so many people backstage that she, as an outsider, would only cause trouble and wouldn't be of any use.

So she came to the auditorium first, found a good spot, and took beautiful videos and photos of her roommates.

University parties are so different from high school parties. The auditorium is several times bigger, and the decorations, chairs, and stage are all very grand and high-class.

As expected of a top-tier university, it's truly impressive.

She's already starting to look forward to it.

She glanced at the time; there were still twenty minutes left, plenty of time.

She took out her camera from her bag and fiddled with the settings, unaware that someone had appeared next to her.

As she was focused, a voice suddenly came to her ear, low, magnetic, and clear, with a hint of curiosity in its tone.

"Does the camera need all this?"

Can't we just take a picture directly?

Xie Lin didn't understand, Xie Lin was eager to learn, Xie Lin had a look of eagerness to learn.
