Lu Yingying was both amused and exasperated.
"Senior, it's not as exaggerated as you say. What you're doing is making people feel very uncomfortable."
The senior student pouted: "What you're saying makes me sound like a scheming girl. I know I'm not as virtuous as you!"
Lu Yingying quickly reassured her, "Okay, I know you're doing this for my own good. I'll take it back to the dorm tonight."
"Okay, we were just talking about it privately. Actually, when you're not around, a lot of people in our club still need her guidance. I also hope that she can make up with you, but she won't listen to my advice no matter how many times I've tried."
As she spoke, a hint of impatience appeared on the senior's face.
"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. Are you going to practice?"
Lu Yingying nodded.
The senior student snorted and said, "I thought you were really planning to go into battle without any preparation."
Lu Yingying's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
She originally intended to just give it a perfunctory answer...
But that was my previous thought, but thinking of Xu Feng... it's not anymore.
She didn't want to wait any longer.
She's always so anxious and insecure; she's almost not herself anymore.
Although it had been at least half a month since she last played the violin, Lu Yingying's movements showed no signs of rustiness.
At this moment, most of the people in the club also moved chairs and sat to the side, listening to Lu Yingying's performance.
It is also "Confession Night".
However, as the climax approached, everyone vaguely sensed something else.
Both the club president and the senior student from earlier had sharp eyes.
But they didn't speak immediately. Instead, they waited until Lu Yingying stopped before the club president said, "You made some variations?"
Lu Yingying nodded somewhat shyly.
Variations are made by adding embellishments to the original melody or by making some changes around the original melody, so that the expression of the music becomes richer and the emotions are also changed.
But for people of average skill, it's not difficult to come up with variations; the challenge lies in creating something original and catchy.
Lu Yingying's variation is clearly original and pleasant to listen to. Moreover, the emotional expression is slightly different from the original song, but it doesn't feel inappropriate at all. On the contrary, people can feel the emotions that Lu Yingying wants to express, and the emotions of the whole song have become much more delicate.
"Zhang Ting couldn't do that with just this skill!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, but their voice was accidentally a little too loud.
What was even more unexpected was that the door to the next room was not closed.
If the person involved heard such blunt words, they would be incredibly embarrassed.
The scene fell eerily quiet. Then, Zhang Ting walked out and headed straight for the club's entrance.
A loud bang.
Zhang Ting slammed the door and walked out.
The entire room was silent for two minutes.
Then the president quickly reprimanded the person who had just said those words.
Finally, with a helpless expression, he said:
"Sigh, I'll have to find time to talk to her again. Never mind that for now, let's move on..."
Zhang Ting's matter can only be put on hold for now; the gala performance is more important.
Lu Yingying also made some adjustments based on the president's feelings, but most of the decisions were based on her own ideas.
After all, the variation she was going to make was meant to better reflect the emotions she wanted to express.
Everyone had a vague feeling that Lu Yingying must have fallen for someone.
Or perhaps it's a secret crush.
After all, the tunes played were much more emotional than before.
Perhaps before it was just a simple liking, but now, she wants to use music to express her feelings for the person she likes.
"That's all for today, President. I'll be going now."
This time, Lu Yingying didn't leave her instrument at the club; she took it with her.
The president saw her off with a smile on his face.
Once the door was closed, the group immediately started gossiping.
"Who has Yingying fallen for?"
"Which bastard is so lucky? Damn it!"
"Judging from this, it seems she hasn't confessed her feelings yet."
"It's definitely a crush, absolutely a crush!"
"President, aren't you supposed to have a wide network of connections? Hurry up and go gather some intelligence!"
...
Lu Yingying didn't care what others would say after she left.
Because there was no time for her to think about it.
The next day, I practiced for another two hours and regained control of the variation on "Confession Night".
On the third day, Lu Yingying didn't have time because she had to attend the rehearsal for the gala. The rehearsal didn't require performing the entire show; it was just a simple rehearsal.
Large-scale events like the gala also require the arrangement and coordination of the student union in various aspects.
However, this time, Lin Xue was not seen standing next to Xu Feng.
Lu Yingying didn't take the initiative to greet Xu Feng, who seemed to be busy as well.
She acted like a passerby, simply going through the motions before leaving the hall on her own.
It was already night, and the streetlights were on.
Lu Yingying sneezed when the cold wind blew on her.
I forgot to wear my scarf when I went out.
Lu Yingying shrank her neck and quickened her pace. Although she didn't need to speak during the performance, she didn't want to catch a cold tomorrow.
As a result, before I had taken more than a few steps, someone patted me on the shoulder.
This startled Lu Yingying so much that she jumped up.
Seeing Lu Yingying's flustered appearance, the person behind her laughed and said, "Youyou, why are you so timid?"
Upon hearing this address, Lu Yingying turned around and raised her hand to strike behind her.
"He Yu, you bastard!"
The man behind her nimbly dodged Lu Yingying's attack.
No matter how hard Lu Yingying chased after him, she couldn't hit him. Instead, she tripped over her own feet and almost fell.
He Yu reached out and grabbed her by the back of her neck by the collar, preventing her from falling, but also lifting her up.
This made Lu Yingying feel extremely ashamed.
"Let go!"
"If I let go, you'll fall. I didn't expect you to be so big and still not be able to walk properly."
Lu Yingying was furious and bared her teeth and claws, but she finally managed to escape He Yu's clutches.
She distanced herself from the other person, looking wary, and straightened her clothes before asking:
"Why are you back so soon?"
She remembered that He Yu went to the United States as an exchange student and was supposed to return next semester.
"Hearing that you've come here too, and since I've already finished my studies, I applied to return to China ahead of schedule."
“Oh,” Lu Yingying responded, then added, “It’s been two or three years since we last saw each other.”
"Did you miss me?" He Yu asked with a smile.
His smile was different from Xu Feng's; it clearly carried a hint of nonchalance.
Lu Yingying snorted and rolled her eyes.
He Yu was already used to her like this. When she saw her roll her eyes, she wanted to reach out and pinch her cheeks, but after hesitating for a moment, she gave up.
Then, Lu Yingying sneezed again.
“You’re such a grown-up, and you still can’t take care of yourself. Come on.” He Yu frowned.
As he spoke, he took off the scarf from his neck and put it around Lu Yingying's neck, wrapping it around her neck several times.
