267 Fatty’s Ending!
Yun Yiheng looked at him and no longer spoke, but his face was filled with mockery.
His look of indifference made Fatty even angrier. So, he turned and left, following Wen Yuyi and the others to the venue.
The tenth band already went out to perform. Hence, a staff member walked over and looked at Yun Yiheng. “Student Yun, you are scheduled to be the sixteenth performance. You should head to the venue now.”
“Sure.”
Yun Yiheng stood up and subconsciously took his zither.
But the instant his fingers came in contact with the zither, he hurriedly retracted his hand back.
His movements froze slightly as his face darkened.
He stared at his hand. There was an instant where he doubted whether his moment of impulse earlier was something good or bad…This was because he knew that he might not be able to endure playing through a complete song.
He lowered his eyelids, and as he was pondering, his zither bag was carried by a fair and slender hand.
Shen Ruojing then carried her borrowed zither while casually slinging Yun Yiheng’s zither bag over her shoulder. She lifted her peach blossom eyes and said, “Let’s go.”
Yun Yiheng followed her.
When the two of them arrived at the venue, Yun Yiheng’s finger was still swollen.
The surrounding students and backstage staff members looked at him and subconsciously opened up a path for him.
Some students even took out their phones and snapped his photo, posting it onto the academy’s intranet. [Boohoohoo, Yun Yiheng’s love for the zither is true. I’m someone who doesn’t care for folk music, but my heart is now filled with respect for him.]
Yun Yiheng could be considered a legendary character in school. So, once this post was published, everyone on the school’s web immediately came to inquire about what happened.
After the poster replied and described what he saw, this post immediately became trending.
Students that learned folk music already felt a sense of inferiority. But after seeing Yun Yiheng’s persistence, everyone began to jump out and comment.
——I never knew about the meaning of learning folk music and would frequently be ridiculed by others. But after seeing him, I suddenly know in which direction I should work hard in the future.
——I’m bawling my eyes out.
——I suddenly feel very touched. Even if he isn’t the champion this time, he is already the champion of my heart.
——I agree with the previous poster.
Such words immediately poked those that learned orchestra music the wrong way.
——How ridiculous, he won’t be able to win right from the start, but now he is going to claim that he is injured to gain sympathy?
——Can those learning folk music only play such tricks? I’m too disappointed!
…
…
Everyone was arguing on the school’s intranet, and it caused many students to head to the music hall. Even for those who didn’t purchase the tickets, they were gathering in the corridors and stood at the back of the row to watch.
Also, the folk music and orchestra music department were clearly distinguished. Someone even created a banner saying: [Wen Yuyi’s orchestra band is the winner for sure!]
Yun Yiheng’s side wasn’t so fancy, but the students from the folk music department all raised their phones with self-awareness, typing out a sentence [Yun Yiheng, you are the champion in our hearts!]
The dispute between these two bands led to the dispute between the two departments in the school.
But at this moment, a few bands backstage still had no idea about what had just happened.
When Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng went to the venue, they saw that the bands before them were already queuing up and waiting for their turn to go up the stage.
It might be a coincidence, but the next band to perform was the eleventh one. This was precisely Wen Yuyi’s band, which was named Lakeside Band.
Wen Yuyi carried her violin and was currently speaking with her band’s members.
Fatty and the other three carried their musical instruments such as the erhu and guzheng, standing at the very back of the band. The four of them did their best to smile fawningly, wanting to meld into the band. However, those with eyes could all see that they were very inharmonious with Wen Yuyi’s band!
After the tenth performance concluded, the MC on the stage called the eleventh band’s name, “Let us invite the Lakeside Band on stage!”
Wen Yuyi immediately stood at the side and let the other members head up first. As the leader, she would appear last.
The members of the band headed up one by one, and it was finally Fatty’s group turn.
Fatty lifted his head and puffed his chest out. He then suddenly turned and cast a glance at Yun Yiheng.
After betraying Yun Yiheng, he had been mocked and ridiculed by other students of the folk music department.
However, he had no regrets.
Because a glorious future was waiting for him!
After Wen Yuyi became the champion, he would be able to follow her to the Vienna Music Hall in the capital. After returning, he would no longer be the same.
Those who despised him now would envy him ultimately.
For the sake of success, so what if his methods were a little despicable?
Fatty lifted his chin slightly and just when he was preparing to walk toward his glorious future, he was stopped by Wen Yuyi.
Fatty started. “Sis Wen? What’s the matter?”
Wen Yuyi smiled. “Earlier, the teacher informed me that the number of members in a band cannot exceed ten. We already have eight people, so there’s no need for the four of you to get on the stage.”
“…”
Fatty was stunned.
He was still basking in joy earlier, but right now, all he felt was emptiness.
He panicked and his voice trembled. “Sis Yuyi, d…don’t joke with us.”
“I never joked.” Wen Yuyi was still smiling.
Fatty suddenly understood something. “I understand, so from the beginning, you have never added us to your band’s name list, right?!”
Wen Yuyi sighed. “I know that recently, the four of you are under great pressure, and students from the folk music industry kept criticizing you. If you guys get on the stage with me, I’m afraid you all will never be able to mingle around in the folk music department ever again. So, I’m only doing this for your own good.”
“…F*ck you! Wen Yuyi, you are abandoning us after exploiting us!” Fatty raged.
The other three who betrayed Yun Yiheng were also stunned.
Wen Yuyi’s expression sank. “This palace is the performance venue. If you guys want to make trouble, you all will only be chased out. I’m sure you guys don’t want to make the scene so ugly, right?”
Fatty choked. His eyes were red and his entire body was trembling. “Sis Yuyi, w…why did you do this?”
Wen Yuyi slowly spoke, “Because we are an orchestra band. If you guys who learn folk music join us, you will only lower our standards.”
After saying that, she turned and carried her violin up the stage.
A wave of cheers then rang out from the audience.
After the cheers ended, magnificent music suddenly rang out. The violin was the main instrument of this performance, and the performance had officially started!
Wen Yuyi’s violin skills were quite impressive. Even backstage, the other competing bands couldn’t help but agree that Wen Yuyi’s band was really capable.
On the other hand, Fatty stood there dumbly and felt that he was a joke!
There were many other participants here, and all of them were pointing at him, whispering to each other. Some of those words caused him to feel ashamed and annoyed, so he suddenly shouted in a horse voice, “I’m not wrong!”
Everyone backstage fell silent.
Fatty’s eyes were bloodshot. “How can it be wrong for us to chase after strong teammates?! At the very least, we had a chance. But Yun Yiheng, following you was our biggest mistake! You will never be able to lead us into the Vienna Music Hall!”
