Chapter 41 How Do You Know?

"Shuliang, come here for a moment. The belt of this dress is missing."

Lin Shuliang spun around like a top. "Okay, come right over here. My hair is not done yet."

It started at two o'clock in the afternoon. She had been here all morning and had not sat down to rest properly. There was always something wrong here or there.

Finally, everyone's clothes and makeup were ready. When she was about to put on makeup, the person their class had invited had already been snatched away by someone from another class, so she had no makeup at all.

Just as she was worrying, Luo Yun's drawing paper got wet, so she ran over to help.

Li Panxi saw her busying around and asked her, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, thank you."

She didn't like to trouble others and didn't want to owe favors to others. But she didn't realize that besides her parents, she would only trouble Shen Xinghe.

Some people have already started to arrive. There are really a lot of people! Their class is still in a mess.

"I advise you to clean yourself up first. You haven't put on your makeup yet. You are the eighth to appear."

She heard Xu Chen's voice and turned around to see a boy in a suit, standing straight, full of vigor and energy, with a neat crew cut. She looked at him for a long while, "Xu Chen"

"It seems that I look better with this haircut. You are stunned. Not bad, not bad. Go and put on your makeup. I have hired a junior school girl for you. Hurry up."

He cut the hair that was covering his eyes, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes, which were indeed quite pretty.

Back to last night.

Xu Chen studied the hair for a long time, "Does she like boys with short hair?"

Thinking of this, he walked into the barber shop. His brother happened to pass by and said, "Brother Chen, you actually want to cut your hair! Didn't you say that this would be handsome and more like an anime character?"

"I never said such a stupid thing. Don't slander me." Xu Chen glared at him. "Get lost. I'll blind your dog eyes in a bit."

"You've actually changed your personality! Could it be that your new sister-in-law likes you like this?"

"Get lost!" Xu Chen kicked him.

However, the name "new sister-in-law" sounds good!

…

"Don't push me, I can walk by myself." Lin Shuliang's feet had been a little soft after standing for a whole day, and she couldn't walk fast at all with him pushing her like that.

He didn't listen, and because he pushed too fast, Lin Shuliang bumped into Li Panxi who was standing at the door.

She looked at them both with interest, "You two have a good relationship!"

"It has nothing to do with you." Xu Chen said stiffly, and asked Lin Shuliang to go in. "The junior sister is waiting for you in the dressing room inside, go quickly."

They were clearly talking to each other before, how did it suddenly become like this? It's a bit like a couple quarreling.

Lin Shuliang didn't seem to mind her own business. She smiled at Li Panxi and left.

The schoolgirl saw Lin Shuliang coming and said, "Shuliang, I went to see you that day. Do you remember me?"

"Oh~ Remember, didn't you study dance? And you know how to put on makeup?" This was the day after she won the championship, and she went to see one of her junior schoolmates.

"You still remember me! I know how to put on makeup because my mom runs a beauty shop. I learned it from her. Occasionally I also do makeup for customers. I will definitely make you look beautiful."

"Thank you." Lin Shuliang said politely, "By the way, do you know Xu Chen?"

"I don't know him. He saw me putting makeup on the girls in our class, so he asked me to come find you. You don't know that Senior Xu Chen is super nice to you. Our class was very busy, and he helped out there for a long time just so that I could come. Senior Shuliang, are you and him a couple?"

All little girls are like this. Lin Shuliang smiled and said, "No. What's your name? I don't even know it."

Lin Shuliang changed the subject. She was still quite grateful to him in her heart. He really solved her urgent problem. She should thank Xu Chen very much.

"My name is Zhou Ning." Zhou Ning has a baby face and is very cute.

"Okay Zhou Ning, you might want to hurry up. I heard everyone inside has been cleared."

"Oh yeah, I was chatting with you so I didn't notice."

After a while, Xu Chen came to them and asked, "Are you still okay?"

The makeup was almost done. Although it was a half-finished product, Xu Chen was still amazed. "I didn't expect you to look so good after you put on some makeup."

He was trying to excuse his gaffe.

Zhou Ning suppressed his laughter, "Senior, you are stunned, okay!"

"..." Xu Chen touched the corner of his lips, "I'm going to go out, the activity will start soon, you guys hurry up."

When the host came on stage, Lin Shuliang was sitting in her seat.

There were four hosts, but everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Chen.

Audience 1: "Xu Chen is so handsome! If I were him, I would have no time to study and would have directly entered the entertainment industry."

Audience 2: "That's right! He is so ugly and only studies. Why is he wasting his time like this? He and Shen Xinghe are really the pride of our No. 1 Middle School."

Audience 3: "It's a pity that all your glory was taken away by Lin Shuliang. Didn't you see what Xu Chen posted on Tieba? He said that Lin Shuliang would not do those things and asked those people not to slander her."

Audience 4: "Ahhh! How happy! I saw Shen Xinghe bringing her breakfast again this morning."

Audience 5: "Stop talking. Look at Xu Chen with a buzz cut. He looks even more like a tough guy."

…

Where does this information come from?

Lin Shuliang listened, "Luo Yun, what did Xu Chen say on the forum?"

"I forgot to tell you, wasn't it all over the forum? They were saying this and that about you. Xu Chen registered an account last night to denounce those people and prove your innocence."

Could it be that the first incident left a bad impression on her? She always thought Xu Chen had bad intentions, but he was actually a very good person!

"Hey! Why are you looking at Xu Chen with such affection? You are not attracted to Xu Chen just because of this incident, are you? What about Shen Xinghe?"

This Luo Yun, Lin Shuliang pinched her, "What are you talking about, I just think Xu Chenren is a good person, what does it have to do with Shen Xinghe?"

She was sitting quietly next to Luo Yun, who didn't pay attention to her. Only after she pinched him did Luo Yun turn around and look at her.

Seeing this, she sighed and said, "Lin Shuliang, you are such a beauty! Why do you need to wear makeup? You crush me."

She looked like she was about to cry.

In fact, she is really cute, and she looks even more cute because she is wearing Hanfu today.

Lin Shuliang held her face in her hands, "You are beautiful too, little Luo Yun."

"Don't comfort me, I'm jealous of your beauty, don't talk to me! Don't talk to me today, hum!"

"Okay, tomorrow we'll recite the politics section to page 4."

She immediately leaned on Lin Shuliang's shoulder and said, "Oh, I was just joking with you. I can't bear to talk to you."

Lin Shuliang couldn't help laughing. Morality and the like didn't exist for Luo Yun. "Stop it. My powder is almost gone."

Luo Yun then gave up, "Then I'll just recite to the third page."

Lin Shuliang smiled and said nothing, and agreed at that time.

The show was indeed grand and each program was carefully prepared, with several cameras shooting at the stage.

Lin Shuliang wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was wearing dancing clothes, which was a bit inconvenient.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Li Panxi and Shen Xinghe together. Shen Xinghe bent down to help Li Panxi tie her shoelaces.

Wow! What a scene.

She wanted to take another route so as not to disturb them, but Li Panxi called her, "Shuliang, where are you going?"

When Shen Xinghe heard the name, he immediately stood up and stood a few meters away from Li Panxi. Li Panxi knew his reaction and still felt uncomfortable.

Lin Shuliang had no choice but to walk over and said, "You guys are here."

"Shuliang, don't misunderstand me. Xinghe just now was just..."

"You, number eight, it's almost time. What are you doing swimming outside?" Shen Xinghe interrupted.

Lin Shuliang lowered her head to fix her clothes, "I'm going to the bathroom~"

Li Panxi glanced at Shen Xinghe and said, "Shuliang will definitely not miss the time. Xu Chen has such a good relationship with her. I saw them fighting just now. Xu Chen will definitely find the right time to inform Shuliang."

Lin Shuliang didn't know what she meant by that. Lin Shuliang guessed: she liked Shen Xinghe, but she was afraid that she would compete with her for him, so she pushed her out.

"Really?" Lin Shuliang stared at her intently and asked back.

Shen Xinghe saw Lin Shuliang's bad expression and knew she was angry. "Go to the toilet quickly. You guys will be there soon."

She also wanted to leave early, so she took this opportunity to leave.

Li Panxi wanted to explain, "Xinghe, I just..."

"You said your skirt was too short to tie your shoes, so I helped you. It looks like they won't fall off, so I'm going in."

Shen Xinghe left without looking back.

At this time, the show inside was in full swing, and when the host invited Li Panxi to come on stage, the whole audience was boiling.

After her performance, everyone gave her rave reviews and the applause was much louder than before.

Everyone said that it seemed difficult for Lin Shuliang to surpass Li Panxi. She is worthy of being called the goddess of liberal arts. Not only is she a good student, but she is also very good at dancing. She is simply stunning!

Li Panxi knew the feedback from the audience, and the pride on her face was self-evident when she left the stage.

It’s Lin Shuliang’s class time.

Lin Shuliang was wearing a white dress without any ornaments, even her hair was just tied into a bun, she looked very refreshing and fairy-like.

They recited first, while Luo Yun was drawing in a corner. She only came on stage when the music reached its climax.

Shen Xinghe stared at the stage, counting down the time for her to come out in his mind.

When she entered the venue with her lotus steps, everyone held their breath. What a beauty she was! She was not tainted by the dust and did not eat the fireworks of the world.

Coupled with her stunning dancing posture, she seemed to be the peerless beauty in “Song of Everlasting Sorrow”, with a hint of sadness.

After the song, Luo Yun showed her paintings. She moved to the center of the stage, swinging her sleeves like a heroine.

During the curtain call, the screams and applause were endless and lasted for a long time, drowning out the voices of their congratulatory speeches to their alma mater.

After they left the stage, someone still took the lead and kept calling Lin Shuliang's name.

Shen Xinghe never looked away, as if it lasted for a thousand years.

Xu Chen came on stage, "Shuliang's dance is really good. She really deserves to be the national champion."

"You don't like her, do you?" someone asked mischievously.

"Yeah, how do you know that I like Lin Shuliang?" He smiled charmingly, and his voice was filled with a deep smile.

The whole place was filled with noise and screams.

Lin Shuliang was walking down the stairs. When she heard this, her back stiffened. Could this be his “surprise”?

He added, "Her dance is so beautiful, is there anyone in the audience who doesn't like her?" Everyone screamed in agreement, and he smiled, "I am one of her fans too."
