Chapter 22: The Beauty Who Turned Everyone Upside Down

Li Panxi's behavior at this moment seemed very awkward. She laughed dryly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Well, I'll go take care of our class's problems first." Lin Shuliang has a competition tomorrow, and the atmosphere in the class is heavy, so she's a little uninterested.

After Lin Shuliang left, Li Panxi asked Shen Xinghe, "You really are very good at predicting things. You knew something was wrong with Shuliang without me asking."

"She is such a noisy person, but she suddenly became quiet and didn't want to talk. There must be something on her mind. She... is very stupid." When talking about her, Shen Xinghe paused, smiled faintly and finished speaking.

Li Panxi was almost certain that Shen Xinghe had Lin Shuliang in his heart based on her intuition. But she still didn't give up, "You see Shuliang so clearly, what about me? Do you know how I look when I'm happy or unhappy?"

"You are different from her." Shen Xinghe looked at her and said.

He didn't want to explain what he meant, but to Li Panxi, it contained too many meanings.

She wanted to ask more, but Shen Xinghe said, "Didn't you just say you had something to ask me? What was it?"

Li Panxi had forgotten the main thing. "It's like this. Our class has been selected to perform a program, and I'm the one going. I...I want to invite you to accompany me."

"What?"

"Didn't I see you playing the piano in the music store last time? Can you accompany me? I can't find anyone else right away. Don't worry, the song is very simple and won't waste much of your time." Li Panxi explained carefully and logically. Faced with the request of such a weak girl, few people could refuse.

Shen Xinghe's expression suddenly changed, and he said expressionlessly: "I can't play the piano, go ask someone else."

He turned and left without any courtesy.

Li Panxi is a cautious person and is good at observing people's expressions. She doesn't know what she said wrong to make Shen Xinghe so angry!

It was summer vacation when she saw Shen Xinghe.

She has been learning piano for several years in a piano store in the city center. The store has two floors. The first floor is for buying musical instruments, and the second floor is mainly for piano practice.

That day, she was upstairs and the teacher left after class. She was practicing alone. During the break, she heard the sound of piano downstairs, so she stood at the stairs to watch and see who was playing it.

I saw a thin boy playing the piano. His back looked familiar to me, but I couldn't remember who he was.

The song was "Wedding in a Dream". He played it at a very slow tempo, and it was filled with a deep, unrelieved sadness.

Li Panxi liked this style of playing and wanted to go down to say hello, but then she saw the boss walking over and said, "You play really well. Do you want to buy a piano, or come here to learn piano?"

The man turned around and it was Shen Xinghe. Li Panxi felt unusually calm when she saw it was him. For someone like Shen Xinghe, no matter how perfect he was, it would not be too much.

Shen Xinghe smiled bitterly and replied to his boss: "The old man will not spend money to buy me a piano to trouble him. As for learning piano, forget it. I don't have enough talent. I once had a top piano teacher, but I didn't learn it well.

I was just looking around, sorry to bother you." He became inconsiderate to strangers and talked more than usual.

The boss was confused by what he said, and waited until he left before saying, "He looks so handsome, but he speaks in a roundabout way. If you don't want to buy, just say so. Stop talking so much nonsense."

Li Panxi wanted to chase him out, but he walked too fast, so Li Panxi had to give up. She thought that this was a secret between them, so it was not impossible.

She hadn't said anything yet, thinking that she was going to participate in the show, which would be a suitable opportunity. Unexpectedly, it still didn't work out, and she felt very upset.

…

Lin Shuliang returned to the classroom. Luo Yun smiled and said, "Guess who came to see you?"

"who?"

"Xu Chen! He said he wanted to inform you about the rehearsal." Luo Yun pinched her chin with his index finger and thumb. "Tsk tsk, what a beauty that turns everyone upside down. Xu Chen is the host, it's not his turn to run errands like this, he just came to find you."

"..." Lin Shuliang slapped her hand away, "Come on, are you having paranoia?"

Luo Yun argued like the endless flow of the Yellow River, but it all stopped when Lao Fu showed up.

As soon as Lao Fu entered the classroom, he closed the door and took out a piece of paper. Needless to say, on it was the list of latecomers.

Lin Shuliang teased Luo Yun deliberately, "Go on."

Luo Yun looked at her with his eyes but said nothing.

Lao Fu did not teach the class, but read out the names on the list, "Grade 18 students, please stand up and accept the honor you deserve."

If any other teacher said this, a large group of people would definitely respond, but when the teacher was talking to Mr. Fu, the classroom fell silent.

People stood up. Lao Fu walked up to the first person and looked at him for a long time. "Xie Wei, you study fine arts. You have won several awards, but your score in the last monthly exam was 241, which is more than 100 points short of the score line for art undergraduates. I learned that your family is well-off, but not particularly wealthy. Your family spent a lot of money to support you in studying art. Why are you late in your situation?"

Walking up to the second person, "Wang Luogang, studying media..."

She introduced them one by one like this, and no one knew what she was trying to do. Everyone in the classroom looked at each other, wondering what Lao Fu was planning.
