Qian Sui glanced up casually and saw Mu Chen staring at her.

Qian Sui's heart skipped a beat.

The more Chisui thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Just now, with so many people around, Mu Chen insisted on asking her what song she wanted to hear. Even if Mu Chen had witnessed the whole thing from a short distance and knew that Qian Sui had embarrassed herself up there, he wanted to comfort her.

Even so, it would have been fine to ask Chitose what piece she wanted to hear at the beginning. But after she finished playing, he kept looking at Chitose, which made Chitose feel that something was wrong.

Luo Xinyue also noticed that after Mu Chen finished playing the violin, he set it up and looked at Qian Sui's position with a smile in his eyes.

Luo Xinyue initially thought that Mu Chen was just looking straight ahead at the fans, but Luo Xinyue sensed that something was wrong with Qian Sui next to her.

Luo Xinyue followed Mu Chen's gaze and realized that Mu Chen was looking at Qian Sui.

Luo Xinyue recalled that Mu Chen had asked Qian Sui what she wanted to hear earlier, and then looked at Qian Sui after the performance. Luo Xinyue realized that something was wrong.

Luo Xinyue moved slightly closer to Qian Sui and asked, "Do you know him?"

Qian Sui hid behind Luo Xinyue and said, "Do you think I would know someone like that?"

Luo Xinyue thought about Qian Sui's social circle. Not to mention someone like Mu Chen, she could count the number of people she knew at school on two hands.

Luo Xinyue understood.

So, Luo Xinyue took Qian Sui's hand and said, "Let's go."

She couldn't imagine how excited Mu Chen's fans would be if he really came up and said something to Qian Sui later.

If there are some people who are particularly jealous, they'll probably all target Chitose from now on.

Chitose is already considered to be at the forefront of the school, and many people dislike her, but they just haven't found any fault with her yet.

If Mu Chen's fans target Qian Sui out of jealousy, that would be troublesome.

An irrational fangirl can be just as dangerous as a terrorist.

So Luo Xinyue pulled Qian Sui away.

Qian Sui didn't recognize Mu Chen, and their previous encounter hadn't been pleasant. Now, seeing Mu Chen looking at her like this, Qian Sui recalled what her master had said.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!

There must be some ulterior motive behind his sudden act of kindness towards her!

Although Chitose didn't know what she could possibly gain from her body, she knew she had to be careful.

Qian Sui then left with Luo Xinyue.

Mu Chen kept looking at Qian Sui, even when he was playing the violin, his gaze would occasionally fall on her.

Mu Chen was thinking of talking to Qian Sui after finishing his violin performance, but Qian Sui left.

Mu Chen was somewhat disappointed, his gaze fixed on Qian Sui until Qian Sui took Luo Xinyue's hand and walked out of the building's lobby.

Mu Chen then turned his gaze away, smiled at the fans in front of him, and said, "I hope everyone will like this song."

After a second of silence, the onlookers erupted in cheers that could have lifted the roof off.

The assistant took Mu Chen's violin away, and only after Mu Chen had freed himself did he turn to look at Shang Ziyan beside him.

While Mu Chen was playing, Shang Ziyan sat in her guzheng seat, watching Mu Chen the whole time.

When Mu Chen turned to look at her, she stood up in a fluster.

Compared to Shang Ziyan's panic, Mu Chen remained calm.

Mu Chen looked at Shang Ziyan, then at her broken zither, and said, "What a pity. If your zither hadn't been broken, we could have played together."

Shang Ziyan was somewhat flattered. She glanced at her zither and suddenly regretted calling her up just to please the Emperor.

Originally, he wanted to embarrass Chitose, but ended up ruining his own zither.

Shang Ziyan was angry, but since she had invited Qian Sui up herself, she had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Shang Ziyan looked regretful and said, "I really wanted to work with you, but it's a real pity."

Mu Chen smiled gently as he comforted Shang Ziyan, saying, "It's alright, there might be another chance in the future. I just heard you play the guzheng, and you played it really well."

Being praised in front of so many people, especially by top celebrity Mu Chen, Shang Ziyan's vanity was practically swelling up.

A light shone in her eyes, but she had to keep it in check, lest those around her see that she was too proud.

Shang Ziyan scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Mu Chen looked at Shang Ziyan with a smile in his eyes. As if thinking of something, Mu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Everyone has shortcomings."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and everyone around him assumed that Mu Chen was comforting Shang Ziyan.

But only Mu Chen himself knew that this was not what he meant.

After saying this, Mu Chen turned and left.

His assistant and agent were also very responsive. As soon as they saw Mu Chen turn around, they stepped in to stop the fans and explained the situation to them.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mu Chen's manager. It's like this, Mu Chen has some rehearsals later, so he won't be able to stay with you all for a while. Mu Chen will also be performing during the school's anniversary celebration, so please give him your support."

While his agent handled the aftermath, Mu Chen had already left the lobby with his assistant and gotten into his van.

After Mu Chen got into the van, his agent followed.

Mu Chen sat in the back seat, his expression no longer as kind as before; he was deep in thought.

He thought about it seriously, and his expression became solemn.
