Chapter 118 Of course, the second brother should have one too!
Nan Ke stood there, her hand gripping her phone tightly trembling slightly, as if she were in a daze, staring blankly at the doorway.
Three minutes later, a group of students rushed over.
Each of them held their best instrument.
Everyone seemed to have radar installed, instantly spotting Nan Ke in the crowd and rushing over.
Song Zhibang asked, panting, "Did we make it? Did we make it? We tried our best to get the driver to go faster, so we shouldn't have missed it, right?"
"On the way here, Tang Yuan and I went through those two pieces briefly, but we still need to practice with you guys a bit. I remember the last time we collaborated was in a small class four months ago, so I don't know if I'll be rusty."
Another girl, holding her phone, finally managed to calm her breathing: "I checked the program schedule, and there should be enough time."
Then came the next one: "I just went to hail a taxi, so I didn't quite catch what you said. Are Zhibang and Tangyuan's violins enough? Do you need me? I brought my flute too!"
"My cello is on its way too!"
...
Looking at the familiar faces, Nan Ke opened his mouth, and a surge of warmth suddenly welled up in his eyes.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Tu Yao had said yesterday.
Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the day after, perhaps in the near future, you will have many friends...
And that day... seems to have really come.
On the other side, Cormier was speechless again.
Turning to Tu Yao, he asked:
"...Is this what he meant by a bad relationship?"
Tu Yao smiled and cupped her face in her hands: "Nonsense, it's perfectly fine!"
After the group finished speaking, they realized that the surroundings were completely silent.
I glanced around instinctively, and was instantly shocked, stammering in a second.
"Mr. Cormier!"
"Teacher Tu... Teacher Tu?!"
"younger sister?!"
Cormier couldn't help but deliberately exclaim "Wow!": "Finally, we've seen you!"
Tu Yao also exclaimed "Wow!" and complained with her hands on her hips, "Why didn't you see me first? Is it because I'm not tall enough?!"
Then, feigning magnanimity, he waved his hand and said, "But it's okay. I know that's how friends are. Once you meet them, you can't see anyone else."
A group of young people, in the prime of their youth and easily embarrassed, blushed slightly when teased.
They... shouldn't be considered Nan Ke's friends, right?
But the next second, Nan Ke gently patted Tu Yao's head and said softly:
"...Don't make fun of my friends."
The young people were stunned for a moment after he finished speaking.
Tu Yao covered her head and snorted softly, "I know."
Nan Ke withdrew her gaze, looked at their stunned expressions, and no longer tried to suppress the emotions welling up inside her.
His eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly:
"...Thank you for coming."
The young people were completely stunned, waving their hands repeatedly: "I...you...why are you thanking us!"
Song Zhibang blushed and said, "We should be the ones apologizing to you..."
"I'm sorry, we didn't stand up for you when you were framed..."
These days, it's been even more difficult to come up with an apology; it takes forever to come down to it.
Nan Ke shook his head and said softly, "I should apologize. That fire scared you."
"...I scared you all that day too."
Song Zhibang seemed to recall the scene from that day, and tried to hold back, but couldn't.
"...Indeed, I was a little startled."
Nan Ke: ...
Tang Yuan raised his hand as well: "Indeed, I was also frightened. The fire was too big. Ordinary people could not set off such a fire."
Nan Ke: ...
"+1, this fire is bigger than my grandma's new stove."
Nan Ke: ...
"You left so fast, you didn't even see that Old Wu's face was green the next day. He was so angry that he didn't wear red for a whole week."
Nan Ke: ...
"You even burned all the awards you won for the school, that's incredible!"
In the bright and dazzling concert hall, a group of young people in the prime of their lives raised their hands one after another to express their thoughts.
But as we held it up and talked, we looked at each other and back...
I couldn't help but burst out laughing!
Nan Ke: ...
He couldn't help but laugh too.
As I laughed, it was as if the last bit of deep-seated pain within my body was being laughed away...
Tu Yao watched this scene with a smile; it was truly delightful.
She has good friends, her older brother has good friends, and her younger brother also has good friends.
Of course, the second brother should have one too!
Only Cormier's eyes stung with tears again.
How could Cormier, who had just been betrayed by his friend, bear to watch such a scene?
He immediately turned stern and shooed them away: "Alright, alright, the show's about to start, you all get back to rehearsing! No laughing allowed!"
The group of people immediately fell silent.
"Yes, yes, hurry up! Don't delay Nan Ke's performance!"
Before Nan Ke could say anything, he was surrounded by a group of good friends and left.
Cormier: ...
It's even more sour now.
Tu Yao patted him reassuringly and said seriously, "Don't be envious, Mr. Cormier. You also have things to do."
Cormier asked suspiciously, "What is it?"
Tu Yao reminded her, "There are less than five minutes left. You need to prepare for the opening performance and also find someone to question them about why they betrayed you."
Cormier: ...
It's even more sour now!
This caused Cormier to immediately turn around, squat down, pat his two old friends on the face, and angrily shout, "Hey! Get up! Wake up! Stop pretending to be dead!"
Xu Chi smiled.
Their natural ability to control the situation is getting stronger and stronger.
Madam Jiang also slightly covered the corner of her mouth with a smile.
This child has truly captured her heart.
The old lady's smile faded: "Alright, I'll take care of these two. You go and prepare for the performance."
Cormier snapped back to reality. "I understand, thank you, Auntie."
He stared at the two people on the ground for a while, and his eyes finally reddened.
Cormier stood up, subconsciously looked around, and found Tu Yao between Tu Chaoxi and Xu Chi.
Before he could speak, Tu Yao made a gesture to him without even looking up.
"Good luck, Mr. Cormier! I'll be here to record it for you in a bit!"
Cormier's eyes were still red, but he smiled immediately.
He thought, to hell with my old friend, I have the best new friend in the world!
The blond, blue-eyed foreigner instantly regained his smug look and led the remaining guest performers backstage.
Several bodyguards had already dragged the two people off the ground and were preparing to take them away.
Tu Yao turned her head and couldn't help but glance at the two of them.
Madam Jiang noticed the girl's gaze, her eyes suddenly darkening, and she spoke abruptly:
"...Do you already know why they chose to betray us?"
Tu Yao was taken aback, pursed her lips, and slowly nodded.
What is it?
Tu Yao carefully chose her words before speaking: "The concert wasn't just Mr. Cormier's; it used to be theirs too."
And what makes them willing to destroy their careers and dreams.
"...In general, it's jealousy or greed."
Or perhaps it's jealousy and greed.
But what if it happens between friends?
"There should be another layer of distrust, the most fatal and fundamental one."
Madam Jiang gazed at her quietly, "...Then how should we deal with it?"
"How can we get them to talk?"
Tu Yao thought for a moment, "...let them understand that their distrust is actually meaningless."
She looked at the two men opposite her, whose eyes remained tightly closed, and whispered:
"I don't know if you understand Chinese, but when you were unconscious just now, Mr. Cormier said something."
"His team has no substitutes."
“You don’t seem to understand Mr. Cormier. Over the years, in his eyes, all the members are irreplaceable.”
"So those guest performers are just guests, they're not here to replace you."
As soon as they finished speaking, their tightly closed eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.
