Chapter 142: Brother Almost Left Jiaoda Lying Down

Since he had obtained Xiao Zhiliao's consent, Yang Tianxing immediately brought Xie Silu to the Yanta Campus of Jiaoda.

However, when they reached the entrance, Yang Tianxing suddenly stopped the car and mentally calculated as he adjusted the passenger seat.

Many people had sat in the passenger seat recently, and the space had been adjusted differently according to each person's height and weight.

Yang Tianxing was adjusting the seat to a position suitable for Xiao Zhiliao's figure, creating the implication of, "Even though you have left, I am still waiting for you."

She might not necessarily notice this detail, and might not even sit in this car, but as long as she perceived it, Xiao Zhiliao, who loved surprises and romance, would surely be moved in her heart.

After all these things were done, Yang Tianxing took out his phone and fiddled with it for a moment, guessing that, barring any accidents, he should have been removed from Xiao Zhiliao's blacklist.

Sure enough, hearing the "beep, beep, beep" sound on the phone instead of "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service," Yang Tianxing couldn't help but give Xie Silu a "smack" of a kiss.

For being able to get off the blacklist, this little chubby girl Xie Silu deserved the top credit; otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take, or what kind of opportunity it would require to achieve it.

"Hello..."

After the call connected, Yang Tianxing had just uttered an exclamation when Xiao Zhiliao interrupted directly: "I'm at the auditorium."

After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.

"Whoa, this impatient tone, it really sounds like Empress Dowager Gao talking to Old Yang."

Yang Tianxing smiled and picked up Xie Silu, walking toward the auditorium.

The Jiaoda auditorium had a sense of history; with its stark white walls, oval shape, and high-vaulted ceiling, a burst of music could be heard as soon as they reached the entrance.

No one stopped Yang Tianxing as he carried Xie Silu inside; on the contrary, some female students found Xie Silu cute and teased her from time to time.

There were many students in the auditorium, including hosts in suits and dresses, and Latin dance students wearing sexy sequined outfits; there was no order, and it looked a bit chaotic, as it seemed to be a rehearsal for a freshman gala or performance event.

Tan Zhizhi was easy to find; she was wearing the flowing sleeves of a Hanfu, a hairpin stuck in her long hair, and she was occasionally chatting and laughing with a female companion at the side of the stage, with a guzheng placed beside her.

"Does Xiao Zhiliao know how to play the guzheng?"

Yang Tianxing tried hard to think, and he actually remembered: in order to cultivate her daughter's temperament, Ye Yulan had specifically sent Tan Zhizhi to learn musical instruments, and there was even a guzheng in Xiao Zhiliao's bedroom.

Back at Jinzhou No. 1 High School, no matter what activities there were, Tan Zhizhi's guzheng performance was always a staple program.

"Looking at it this way, Xiao Zhiliao coming to the Yanta Campus was actually the right choice."

When Tan Zhizhi was at the Chang'an Campus, because she hadn't handled her interpersonal relationships well and had no interest in showing off these talents, her only pleasure was probably eating and reading with Yang Tianxing.

It was only after the heartbreak that she transferred to the Yanta Campus, where, while getting along well with her roommates, she gradually revealed her own talents.

After some unknown program finished performing, the emcee suddenly raised their volume.

"Next, we invite student Tan Zhizhi from the Law School to bring everyone a guzheng performance, 'Fishermen's Song at Eventide'."

Although it was just a rehearsal, after the host finished speaking, Yang Tianxing felt the atmosphere in the auditorium change immediately, and the focus of several male college students watching the excitement nearby was clearly rising.

"Damn it, thinking back carefully, isn't this just the feeling from Jinzhou No. 1 High School?"

Yang Tianxing cursed.

The male host eagerly wanted to help move the guzheng, but Tan Zhizhi smiled and refused.

She carried the guzheng to the center of the stage herself, and after plugging in the sound system, she didn't pretentiously close her eyes, but instead looked up and smiled gratefully at the surrounding students, then her fingers gently plucked the strings, and the sound of flowing water "splashed" and surged, filling the auditorium.

"It sounds so good, I just came to see Tan Zhizhi."

"Many people are the same; she was quite famous at the Chang'an Campus, but it's said she has a boyfriend."

"No way, school has been open for several weeks now, and she only goes to class with her roommates."

Yang Tianxing didn't say a word upon hearing this; that "boyfriend" might just be himself.

After the guzheng performance ended, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from below, and the female host said with some jealousy: "The applause for student Tan's rehearsal is already more intense than the applause for many official performances."

"Oh, someone is even giving flowers."

As soon as the words fell, a boy walked onto the stage with a smile, holding flowers.

"Junior Sister Tan's guzheng playing is truly beautiful, and she is also pretty; she is simply like a fairy."

Yang Tianxing shook his head; one could tell just by the tone that he was a scumbag, and the lowest-level kind at that. He patted Xie Silu's little head: "It's your turn to go on stage."

Xie Silu loved excitement, especially on such occasions; she took small steps and walked onto the stage excitedly.

She was small, and it was a bit difficult for her to climb the stairs. When Tan Zhizhi saw this, her eyebrows twitched; while she wanted to go and pick up Xie Silu, she scanned the audience, knowing Yang Tianxing must be there.

However, that bold boy giving flowers had nimble eyes and took the initiative to walk over and pull Xie Silu onto the stage.

"Little sister, are you also unable to resist wanting to get close after seeing such a beautiful big sister?"

The "scumbag's" eloquence was not bad, but it was useless; Xie Silu's next sentence petrified him on the spot.

"Mommy!"

Xie Silu opened her arms and rushed toward Tan Zhizhi.

Tan Zhizhi was stunned herself; she had thought Xie Silu wasn't looking for her, and it wasn't until Xie Silu threw herself into her arms and called "Mommy" again that Tan Zhizhi reacted.

"Silu, what did you call me?"

"Mommy."

The little chubby girl affectionately hugged Tan Zhizhi's neck.

The entire Jiaoda auditorium was stunned by this earth-shattering address; the host even forgot to speak, leaving only the "buzzing" sound of current in the microphone.

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, what's the use of you giving flowers? I've gone straight to the point, let's see how you play this.

Xie Silu probably felt she had performed well and looked in Yang Tianxing's direction seeking praise.

Yang Tianxing very considerately gave her a thumbs up.

However, it was this thumbs up that ruined things; encouraged, Xie Silu actually turned her head again and shouted loudly at the female host: "Mommy!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Xie Silu hadn't stopped; she called another girl "Mommy" as well.

If Xie Silu calling Tan Zhizhi "Mommy" was shocking, when she called the female host "Mommy," these high-achieving students gradually realized what was happening, and when the little chubby girl called a third person "Mommy," everyone started laughing.

"So, this little chubby girl calls whoever she catches 'Mommy'."

Even the boy who gave the flowers said with a smile: "The little girl is carved from jade; she's probably the granddaughter of some professor at Jiaoda."

Yang Tianxing saw that this had been a botched performance; he walked up quickly and picked up the little chubby girl: "Sorry, fellow students, this is my little sister; children speak without thinking, please don't take it seriously."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Since you've already said that children's words carry no malice, who would take it to heart? Still, it really gave everyone quite a fright, hahaha."

The boy who delivered the flowers also felt relieved.

Yang Tianxing took a moment to glance at Xiao Zhiliao; her gaze was somewhat strange, as if she were smiling, yet also seemingly chiding, and of course, there was still a touch of her unchanging pride.

"Brother Xiao Yang, I called out many times, how was it?"

After stepping off the stage, Xie Silu said with a fawning expression, her heart set on Häagen-Dazs.

"You called out well."

Yang Tianxing nodded and said, "It's just a bit taxing on 'brother'; if the boyfriends of other sisters get unhappy, brother might end up having to leave Jiaotong University lying down."
