Chapter 59: Lu Chi Lies

"You!"

Seeing Su Yun Jiao act as if it were none of her business, Zhou Tingting flew into a rage: "You're just afraid of being blamed, so you dare not speak the truth? What kind of person are you?"

"When the time comes and it's not you who gets scolded, of course you can say that."

Su Yun Jiao had seen this kind of moral coercion many times.

Zhou Tingting was left speechless by Su Yun Jiao's retort.

Su Yun Jiao knew that if it were Zhou Tingting, she would have already spoken up and told the truth.

But in Su Yun Jiao's view, that's just a brainless act.

One time not speaking out, she got a year of campus bullying in return.

She is not that stupid.

"Tingting, this matter has nothing to do with you; don't meddle here. Su Yun Jiao is right—from now on, don't get involved in Lu Chi and Qin Xue's affairs."

"Why not intervene? It's clearly Qin Xue deliberately lying; I knew this woman wasn't simple—she's downright more hateful than Su Yun Jiao!"

"..."

Su Yun Jiao's action of eating the snack paused.

So?

Just how hateful is she in Zhou Tingting's eyes?

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

Just then, a Student Council member walked in, holding a report, and said to Zhou Xian in the class: "President, this is the report for your class's cultural performance this month; your class needs to put up a program quickly, as the school-wide cultural performance will open next Monday."

Okay.

Zhou Xian took the report.

Upon hearing the news, the students all slumped their faces.

They indeed wanted to watch the cultural performance, but they didn't intend to sign up for a program themselves.

After all, performing in front of a thousand-plus people in the auditorium, a slip could still become a laughingstock.

Zhou Xian collected the report.

As the worst class in the third year, they at least need to submit two programs.

"Class monitor, can't we tell the teacher we're not participating?"

One student cried out: "We already have so much homework every day, yet we're forced to join this program; what if it interferes with the College Entrance Exam?"

"I've already told the teacher about this suggestion, but the principal's meaning is that we're now in senior three, so we should balance work and rest; by the second semester, we'll have even less time to participate in such activities."

Upon hearing Zhou Xian's words, about half of the surrounding students broke down.

Many students just lay flat on their desks, pretending to be dead.

"Anyway, I won't participate in any program."

"Exactly, I'd rather die than participate; performing in front of so many people is practically more painful than killing me."

"I also won't participate."

Su Yun Jiao shook her head, indicating she also didn't want to participate.

In order to face the College Entrance Exam, she simply doesn't have time to participate in this cultural performance.

Moreover… she doesn't like performing in front of so many people.

Zhou Xian had long known this would be the result.

Thus Zhou Xian could only write down his own name; just as Zhou Xian lifted his pen, Zhou Tingting suddenly stepped forward and said: "Brother, I want to participate! I want to sing!"

Upon hearing Zhou Tingting say she wanted to sing, the people around were startled.

"Zhou Tingting wants to sing? Isn't that scarier than killing everyone?"

"Zhou Tingting, listen to me: don't sing anymore; last year the song you sang had its pitch all over the place—it was basically poison to the ears."

"Yeah, Zhou Tingting, just don't sing—consider it everyone begging you!"

"..."

Seeing that the people around were unwilling to listen to her sing.

Zhou Tingting darkened her face and said: "Then how about it? I won't sing—will you guys sing?"

Their class is the worst in the entire grade.

Every year, no one signs up for items.

In the end, isn't it still relying on her to save the situation?

"Brother, just let me sing; I've studied vocal music for over half a year, this time I'll definitely manage."

Zhou Xian originally wanted to refuse, after all he had just heard his sister's voice two days ago.

But he ultimately couldn't resist Zhou Tingting's request, and thus agreed: "Okay, then you write it yourself—see what song you want to sing."

"I want to sing and play!"

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Tingting say that, the others were dumbfounded.

They can't even sing well.

And they still want to sing and play?

Singing and playing isn't something just anyone can do.

"I want to play with feeling while singing!"

Zhou Tingting fantasized about herself on stage, singing and playing, like a sparkling princess.

And Lu Chi sat downstairs watching her.

That scene must be very moving.

Zhou Xian couldn't beat Zhou Tingting; anyway, no one wanted to join this performance, so being able to take on this task was already pretty good.

Zhou Tingting quickly wrote her name on that list.

Su Yun Jiao didn't take this cultural performance seriously at all.

But I vaguely recall that, it seems Qin Xue also sang in this cultural performance.

That thought flashed through her mind.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head again and started doing her homework.

Zhou Tingting beside her looked at Su Yun Jiao provocatively and said, "Su Yun Jiao, just wait and see how Lu Chi will be infatuated with me."

"... Good luck."

Su Yun Jiao had no interest in it at all.

But in her previous life, Lu Chi liked girls who could sing well.

Regarding the cultural performance in her previous life, Su Yun Jiao's impression of it was not deep.

However, she remembered that Lu Chi indeed, during this cultural performance, was attracted by Qin Xue's singing voice and even specially brought his guitar onstage to accompany Qin Xue.

As for why Lu Chi suddenly played guitar accompaniment for Qin Xue… it seemed to be because the accompaniment had suddenly stopped.

However, no one knew why the accompaniment had suddenly stopped.

All that was known was that Lu Chi's timely rescue turned into a good story.

In that case, she didn't need to be a green leaf setting off Qin Xue's red flower.

Zhou Tingting stayed in the music classroom after school for this performance.

Qin Xue was not to be outdone; she went to the practice room after school each day to practice singing.

The two could be said to be competing fiercely.

On Friday, Lu Chi was finally able to go to school.

However, because he had injuries on his face, he didn't look very good.

At least Su Yun Jiao thought so, but it seemed other girls regarded Lu Chi as a wild, handsome guy.

Everyone curiously asked Lu Chi whether he had ended up like this from fighting for Qin Xue.

Lu Chi glanced at Su Yun Jiao, who was studying earnestly ahead, and felt increasingly uneasy.

Su Yun Jiao clearly knew what had happened that night, yet she pretended not to.

Thus Lu Chi deliberately replied, "Yes, I fought for Xiao Xue."

That sentence caused the surrounding students to instantly erupt.

"Brother Lu, you're really manly!"

"Fighting for a girl you like is really manly."

"So, are you two officially together now? Did you confess?"

……

The boys kept asking incessantly.

And Lu Chi's gaze kept fixed on Su Yun Jiao's back.
