Chapter 30

"This milk tea is so sweet, I wonder how much sugar they put in it."

Lin Mian couldn't help but turn sideways and complain to Wu Bingxia.

"It's good to have so much sugar in this two-yuan milk tea. I really like sweet things."

Wu Bingxia had other ideas. This drink, which tasted full of flavor, gave her good memories.

She didn't know whether she liked milk tea because it was too sweet or because Lin Mian was around.

Wu Bingxia's peripheral vision was filled with Lin Mian.

After she allowed Lin Mian to get closer, they gradually became familiar with each other, and Wu Bingxia knew that Lin Mian was that "Lin Mian".

She was not very good at studying, and her family paid for her admission to Beijing Institute of Poetry, so Wu Bingxia didn't care about her grades. It was not until she often heard people discussing grades mention Lin Mian that Wu Bingxia realized that Lin Mian's grades were so good.

Good grades mean she is a smart person.

Wu Bingxia was no longer afraid of hurting Lin Mian. She felt that such a smart person knew how to protect himself better than ordinary people. What's more, she felt that she was safe now.

Moreover, such a person wanted to be friends with her, which made Wu Bingxia very happy.

After getting to know each other, Wu Bingxia cautiously suggested going shopping with Lin Mian, but Lin Mian said, "How about going to my sister's place with me?"

Wu Bingxia has a sense of distance. She never interacts with Lin Mian's other friends. She is even a little afraid that Lin Mian's friends will see her and think of her "past" and tell Lin Mian about it. Can she still continue to be friends with Lin Mian?

She always thought that this friendship would be short-lived, just like the previous ones.

She was like a thief who stole a precious treasure from someone else, guarding it carefully and being prepared to lose it at any time.

She just wanted this time to be longer and longer.

Lin Mian's suggestion to meet his sister gave Wu Bingxia a greater sense of security.

Lin Mian had lived in Su City before, and so had her sister. They didn't know anything about her, and she was Lin Mian's family, which made Wu Bingxia start to look forward to it.

However, Tu Yin's school was a bit far away, so Lin Mian first took her to buy milk tea. This was the stall she had discovered when she visited her sister last time.

This is a rare thing, and Lin Mian wants to share it with Wu Bingxia.

"What kind of person is your sister?"

When he first met Wu Bingxia, Lin Mian didn’t understand why some people said Wu Bingxia was “coquettish”. She clearly spoke in a downward tone, so how could she be considered “coquettish”?

But after being treated as a friend by Wu Bingxia, she would get closer to her and speak with a raised voice, which sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Wu Bingxia is just a girl who is very dependent on her friends and very sincere.

However, it is also possible that she began to suppress her personality after being hurt, and only revealed her true personality in front of people she could trust.

This is quite similar to my sister, except that she is polite to strangers but rude to acquaintances.

Thinking of this, Lin Mian smiled.

"She's a bit like you."

A bit like her?

Looking at the gentle and innocent beauty in front of him, Wu Bingxia reached out and touched his face. This didn't look like her.

Does it refer to personality?

But the other party is very open and not at all embarrassed, right?

Lin Mian was teasing her again!

If Tu Yin hadn't been there, Wu Bingxia really wanted to pinch Lin Mian's cheek.

Led by Tu Yin, they arrived at a large basement.

There are a lot of people here, mostly girls, it's like a girls' party.

This was also Lin Mian's first time here. She couldn't help but look at others, especially one of the girls. She had a lot of silver chains on her body and looked very cool.

Tu Yin stopped in front of the girl that Lin Mian cared about the most.

"Xiao Lin, this is my sister, Lin Mian. This is her friend Wu Bingxia."

The girl who seemed particularly difficult to mess with softened her aura in front of Tu Yin and faded her unapproachable temperament.

Her smile looks healthy and cheerful.

"Oh, you have the same last name as me, maybe we have the same ancestor."

Tu Yin was speechless. Lin Jianai was just like that, she loved to talk nonsense.

"She's from Su City, and you're from Bei City. How much of a stunt do you have to have to be from the same ancestor?"

Lin Jianai didn't refute. She smiled and pinched Lin Mian's cheek: "Who can tell what happened five hundred years ago, right, little sister?"

Next to Tu Yin, Lin Mian didn't look so cold anymore, just like when she was still Tu Mian, cute and direct. She snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing her like this, Lin Jianai liked her even more.

"Your sister is very much to my eye. I'll sing her a special song later."

As she was talking, Lin Jianai thought of the girl next to her. She also reached out and rubbed Wu Bingxia's head: "Watch my performance carefully later. I hope to hear your screams."

Wu Bingxia blushed. She had never met such a cool girl.

Lin Jianai turned around and jumped onto the stage, picking up the bass that was placed aside.

She walked up to the microphone.

"Buzz"

The sound of the plucked strings silenced the entire venue.

"Next, I'll give you 'Summer'."

There was thunderous applause and the lights around them dimmed, leaving only the light from the stage shining on them.

Under the flickering lights, Lin Mian looked around and saw faces full of expectation and a hint of excitement reflected on their faces. Even Wu Bingxia, who pretended to be difficult to approach when there were many people around, had a look of anticipation on her face.

Tu Yin held Lin Mian's hand tightly and said, "Enjoy it from now on."

On the stage, the drummer first hit the drum a few times with the drumstick, followed by a burst of dense drum beats.

Then the guitarist and keyboardist joined.

Lin Jianai looked relaxed, clapping the beat with the hand away from the bass.

Suddenly she leaned forward and plucked the guitar quickly, making the bass sound louder.

She continued to show off her skills, prompting the people below to cheer along.

The chains on her body kept shaking with her intense movements, reflecting a cold light under the light.

"All your lies have nowhere to hide in the summer sun"

Her voice was no longer hoarse like when she spoke to Lin Mian just now, but it could not hide its vitality.

Following this rhythm, Lin Mian also started to sway her head slightly, as if all her past troubles had disappeared.

She looked at the dazzling Lin Jianai on the stage, the keyboardist, the guitarist, and the drummer in the shadows. The drum beats that were pounding hard in the last second were drowned out by the rapid strings of the bass in the next second.

Everyone is so unique and yet so dazzling.

As the song reached its climax, Lin Mian sang the chorus with them, as if she were on the stage.

After the song ended, Lin Jianai plucked the strings heavily. "Next, let me introduce the band members to everyone."

Every team member called by Lin Jianai will give a personal show, and the audience will not hesitate to applaud and cheer for everyone.

Even though the surroundings were so noisy, Lin Mian could still hear the pounding heartbeats of himself and Wu Bingxia.

She turned to look at the girl who was jumping up and down. She no longer looked like she hated the world, but had forgotten all joy.

Music can really open the door to a person's soul.

"Next, let's perform a song called 'New Atmosphere' for our new friend Lin Mian."

Lin Mian widened his eyes in disbelief. What, for her?

Before I had time to think about it, a light rhythm sounded on the stage, like a light stream flowing into people's hearts.

Wu Bingxia pulled Lin Mian and rocked gently. Suddenly, Lin Jianai pointed at Lin Mian when she sang: "She is a special girl."

In an instant, Lin Mian felt as if she had become the center of everyone's attention. Lin Jianai made an inviting gesture to her. Lin Mian stepped forward involuntarily and was pulled to the stage by Lin Jianai.

When it came to the chorus, Lin Jianai handed the microphone to Lin Mian's mouth, and Lin Mian sang directly without any hesitation.

Lin Mian's voice was unexpectedly nice. Lin Jianai raised her eyebrows. She put the microphone directly into Lin Mian's hand, then stood aside and played a supporting role with the bass and followed the rhythm.

At this moment, the protagonist on the stage became Lin Mian.

She stood on the edge of the stage, close to the audience, hunched over, and raised the hand that was not holding the microphone above her head, shaking it gently.

The audience in the audience also responded to her, raising their hands and waving gently.

Lin Mian didn't look like someone who was suddenly pulled onto the stage. Not only was she not stage-frightened, she also had her own stage presence. While singing, she didn't forget to interact with the people in the audience, as if she was born to be on the stage.

She is so dazzling.

Wu Bingxia opened her mouth slightly, and for a moment she didn't react, wondering whether this was an illusion or reality.

Such people are her friends.

This realization made Wu Bingxia a little anxious. Did she really have the ability to hold on to this friendship?

People always think that Wu Bingxia can get everything, but only she knows that this is false and is others' wishful thinking.

Just like looking at the girl on the stage now, Wu Bingxia was not sure if she could keep her friend.

Wu Bingxia came to her senses when her arm was touched. It was Tu Yin.

She smiled and said, "Isn't she nice?"

Wu Bingxia nodded firmly.

"So you're fine too, aren't you?"

Wu Bingxia hesitated and shook her head slowly.

Tu Yin held her hand and said, "You are also very good. She will not play with bad people. Be more confident."

Wu Bingxia was stunned. Tu Yin's unconditional trust in Lin Mian would also extend to her. Lin Mian had a very good sister.

She turned her head to look at the stage. It was just the climax of the song. Lin Mian returned the microphone to Lin Jianai. Lin Jianai took the microphone and turned it around in her hand a few times, successfully hitting the beat.

When Lin Mian jumped off the stage, she was unexpectedly caught by a pair of hands. She landed lightly on the ground, and her silver-framed glasses fell somewhere.

She didn't care and high-fived them one by one.

She seemed to have released her true nature today, and she was a Lin Mian that Wu Bingxia had never seen before.

After the performance, Tu Yin took her two children backstage to find Lin Jianai.

Before Tu Yin could speak, Lin Jianai came over and rubbed Lin Mian's head.

"You're quite the stage kid. Are you interested in forming a band in the future?"

Lin Mian glanced in Wu Bingxia's direction and saw Wu Bingxia's expectant look, and she had a new idea.

Jin Zixuan once said that she had no way to make everyone shut up. Indeed, she did not have that ability, as human hearts are uncontrollable.

But she will let everyone see a Wu Bingxia who is different from the rumors, a real Wu Bingxia.

With the power of music, Wu Bingxia regained her confidence and no longer walked alone.

Lin Mian put his arms around Lin Jianai's neck and gave her a hug.

"Thanks, sis. Today's performance was really cool. I want to form a band as cool as yours."

"Wow," Lin Jianai exclaimed softly. She didn't expect that the child would actually respond to her. After all, what kind of child could sing so naturally after being handed a microphone?

She shrugged slightly and looked directly into Lin Mian's eyes: "You are more ambitious than me. I didn't start playing until after high school, but you've decided now. You're very courageous. Your band will definitely be very interesting."

"Of course, my band will be awesome, right, Bingxia?"

she?

Wu Bingxia pointed at herself. They were talking about Lin Mian, so why was she being dragged into this?

Receiving the other party's encouraging look, Wu Bingxia put down her hand and said, "Yes, I will. You are Lin Mian."

After returning home, thinking of Lin Mian's look when they separated, Wu Bingxia buried her whole body in the bed. She kicked her legs a few times and buried her face deeper.

What? It seems like he would invite her to play together, making her look forward to it for no reason.

So cunning, Lin Mian, really so cunning.

She originally thought that even if Lin Mian left her one day, it would not matter, as it would not be the first time she had experienced such a thing.

But now, she couldn't tolerate Lin Mian leaving her.

The focused gaze she gave her, the always tolerant attitude towards her, even when she approached her, she was proactive but kept a distance so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.

How could she bear to give up on Lin Mian like this?

Damn it, why is Lin Mian younger than her? She really wants to call her sister. She is so happy to be with Lin Mian.

Thinking of this, Wu Bingxia fell asleep with anticipation. When she went to school, she would definitely ask Lin Mian what he really thought.

But when it was time to go to school, Wu Bingxia felt melancholy again. She kept wandering at the school gate. Lin Mian always arrived at school on time. She wanted to pretend it was a coincidence here and then ask Lin Mian what he thought.

But how to say it?

Would she think she was being too sentimental?

Wu Bingxia, who was in anxiety, lowered her head and guessed the various reactions that Lin Mian might have, until a whistle made her freeze in place.

This is……

She raised her head and saw the man, Wang Xun.

Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling of dizziness came over me.

How did he know that she was studying at Beishi?

Looking at Wang Xun with an impatient look on his face, Wu Bingxia wanted to turn around and run into the school, but in her peripheral vision, she saw Lin Mian walking towards her and preparing to greet her.

What a coincidence! No, she couldn't bring trouble to Lin Mian.

Wu Bingxia ignored Lin Mian with a cold face and walked straight to Wang Xun.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was only a junior high school student but extremely beautiful, Wang Xun smiled.

He took Wu Bingxia's hand and pulled her to an empty corner regardless of her stiff body.

"Why, you're not happy to see me? I spent a lot of effort to find out where you are, and I'm so excited. I know you don't want to be seen by your classmates, so I dragged you here. How about that, brother?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Wu Bingxia looked at her nightmare with a stubborn look on her face.

If the hatred in her eyes could turn into a knife, Wang Xun would probably be stabbed thousands of times.

Her tears were his trophies,

Wang Xun pinched Wu Bingxia's face hard and tried to kiss her.

"Bang"

A can stopped Wang Xun from doing evil. The can hit Wang Xun's face with great force and even loosened Wang Xun's hand.

Taking advantage of Wang Xun's injury, Lin Mian grabbed Wu Bingxia's hand and ran away.

The tears on her face had not yet dried, and Wu Bingxia looked at the hand holding her in surprise.

It was a hand that was obviously much smaller than hers, but it was the most reassuring hand she had ever seen.

After finally running into the school gate and making sure that Wang Xun could not get in, Lin Mian let go of Wu Bingxia's hand.

"Are you okay?"

She gasped for breath and looked at Wu Bingxia with concern.

The newly bought black glasses fell off while running, and the plaid skirt became wrinkled.

Wu Bingxia had never seen Lin Mian in such a miserable state.

She wanted to open her mouth and tell Lin Mian to leave her alone. She had clearly told him not to get close to her, clearly...

Wu Bingxia was reluctant to push Lin Mian away, but she also didn't want Lin Mian to follow her into the nightmare abyss.

Wu Bingxia gently pushed Lin Mian away. "Don't worry about me. I will find a way to prevent that man from causing you any trouble. Don't come to me again in the future."

"Stop talking and follow me."

After this walk, Lin Mian discovered that Wu Bingxia was limping when she walked.

She blushed and said, "I just twisted my ankle."

Lin Mian sighed and pulled Wu Bingxia to sit on the steps.

"I'll go tell your teacher and my teacher first. Wait here for me. I'll take you to the school infirmary later."

Looking at the back that seemed to be shining even in a dishevel, Wu Bingxia clenched her hands. Can she wait for her?

Will she come back again?
