Suddenly an arm reached out from the side and pulled her into his arms, giving her a tight embrace.
Yu Wan looked up; the man's taut jawline had a perfect contour.
"Are you alright?" Tang Yue asked softly, his amber eyes filled with worry as he gazed at her.
And that strong arm was still tightly wrapped around her waist, like a warm armrest in the cold winter night, making her feel incredibly safe.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Yu Wan retorted stubbornly.
Tang Yue felt the person in his arms tremble slightly, and gently stroked her back with one hand. He was silent for a few seconds, then earnestly replied, "Yes, it's not your fault. My legs are weak from sitting for too long, so could you help me for a while?"
"..."
Yu Wan was slightly taken aback.
This person, this person is really... pushing their luck!
She lowered her eyelids.
Her tense body slowly relaxed, and it seemed that the musical notes and cheers in her ears were fading away, leaving only a sore and aching pain in her chest.
"Just for a little while." Her tone was somewhat fierce.
Tang Yue nodded: "Okay."
After a period of silence, the melodious sound of the violin reached our ears even more clearly. By the third section, the two violins began to play together. Although Ji Yunshu and Xiao Ling were not at the same level of skill, their coordination was perfect, and there were no mistakes.
This immediately brought the atmosphere to its peak.
This also pulled Yu Wan into memories of the past, her fingers slowly clenching, her breath growing heavier. It was unclear whether it was from anger or mockery.
"By the way, Wanwan..." Just then, that deep, resonant voice rang out from above.
Yu Wan's attention was instantly drawn to it.
Tang Yue leaned down, his handsome face getting closer and closer, his lips almost touching her ear: "No extra charge for overtime, right?"
"..."
Yu Wan didn't know what to say. In that instant, Xiao Ling, Ji Yunshu, and the "Concerto No. 5 in A minor" were all thrown to the back of her mind. She was so angry that she laughed: "Are you going to pay me with my money?"
Tang Yue asked, "Is there another way?"
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow: "What method?"
He whispered two words in her ear.
Yu Wan stood frozen in place, too shocked to recover for a long time.
Until a warm sensation landed on my cheek.
It was so hot it made my heart burn.
"Shameless!" she said angrily, stomping on his foot, shoving him aside, and striding towards the bathroom.
A cool night breeze cooled Yu Wan's burning cheeks. She touched the spot where she had been kissed and gritted her teeth. Next time, she wouldn't let him succeed in his scheme!
-
Tang Yue saw Yu Wan regain her spirits and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Afraid of embarrassing or annoying her, he could only follow her slowly until he saw her enter the bathroom before stopping.
Enveloped in darkness, several scarlet dots lit up to the right front, clearly indicating boys waiting for their girlfriends.
Tang Yue glanced at the uninteresting object and looked away. He was about to make a call when he realized his pocket was empty. He then remembered that he had given his phone to Yu Wan to play games.
But Yu Wan's appearance just now was terrible, and he was really worried about her. After thinking for a moment, Tang Yue walked towards the group of boys. As he got closer, the smell of thick smoke filled his nostrils, making him involuntarily frown.
Suppressing the urge to turn around, he restrained himself, took two steps forward, and said to the male classmate who was closest to him, "Excuse me, can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
The boy was handsome and dashing, even better looking than a celebrity. Especially his gentle and refined demeanor; just standing there, he made it impossible to feel any ill will towards him.
Wait, this person looks familiar, he is...
Senior Tang!
His idol!!!
Realizing this, he choked hard on the smoke, his face turning red, and without saying a word, he handed him the phone: "Please use it, use it however you like."
"Thank you," Tang Yue said sincerely.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The boy waved his hand, then quickly stubbed out his cigarette as if he had just remembered something.
Tang Yue didn't notice anything amiss. He walked to the side and dialed Qin Feng's number, instructing him to investigate Xiao Ling, eager to know why Yu Wan had such a strong reaction when she saw her.
He hung up the phone and returned it to the boy.
Unexpectedly, the other person opened a pair of bright eyes, grinned with a set of big white teeth, and chuckled, "Senior Tang, do you still remember me? I'm Yao Xing. I met you at my dad's 40th birthday party. I was also the one who said ten years ago that I wanted to get into Jiangda University... the chuunibyou boy who wore red and green... and had a gold chain..." Speaking of his embarrassing past, his handsome face turned bright red.
Tang Yue had a good memory and immediately made the connection, smiling gently: "You are Yao..."
Yao Xing made a "shh" gesture and said shyly, "My dad doesn't allow my sister and me to reveal our identities outside."
Tang Yue nodded knowingly, but a deep sense of doubt arose in his heart. Why were the two younger members of the Yao family in the capital coming to Jiangcheng to study? Did the Yao family plan to move their business here?
-
Yu Wan splashed water on her face in the bathroom.
The cold water splashed on my cheeks, and my turbulent emotions slowly calmed down.
She looked up and stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, lost in thought, with only the sound of running water remaining for a while.
The most similar feature of this face to that woman is the shape of her eyes. Ironically, she can't imitate the other woman's gentle and tender gaze. Her eyes are cold and sharp, containing a piercing and icy light.
Therefore, even if the two stand together, it is not easy for people to believe that they are mother and daughter.
On the contrary, Feng Hanjin is more like her...
"Bang!"
A loud slamming sound came from the toilet stall, interrupting Yu Wan's thoughts.
She frowned, turned off the tap, and pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands.
Just then, a shrill female voice roared out, deafeningly loud.
“Say it again, you don’t want to go on stage? We only have three more performances left, and now you’re saying you’re not doing it? Are you kidding me?...Fine, fine, I don’t need to say anything more...I forced you? Are you kidding me! Chen Xia, don’t forget, if it weren’t for my strong support, you wouldn’t be able to participate in the band performance. Have you forgotten what you told me? You would definitely not let anyone look down on you! And now you’re just quitting!”
Frustrated, she kicked the door again: "Alright, stop spouting nonsense. I'm telling you right now, even without you as the violinist, our performance will still be a success!"
Low pressure enveloped the entire space.
Yu Wan casually tossed the tissue into the trash can and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a violin piece coming to an end on the radio. She paused, then turned back.
The girl kicked the door twice in frustration, and after half a minute, she opened it. The moment she looked up, she met a pair of indifferent and cold eyes.
"School... School... Yu!" She suddenly froze, her eyes widened, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Yu Wan curled her lips into a casual smile: "I heard you need a violinist..."
