Chapter 354: Second Brother is Here
Zhang Yuelan’s voice was not at all soft and her words had attracted the gazes of many.
Murong You’s complexion turned slightly pale and she scolded softly. “Yuelan, what are you talking about!”
Having said that, she revealed a stiff expression and headed elsewhere.
Zhang Yuelan’s expression turned slightly awkward from how she was being stared at. She glared at Zi Yi and evilly thought to herself: “Other than that face of yours, you’re inferior to Little You in all aspects. I’ll just wait for you to embarrass yourself!”
At the thought of this, she deliberately spoke enigmatically in a loud voice. “Junior Zi, good luck~ Since you’re so amazing, your performance will definitely be the best. We are all waiting for your wonderful performance.”
Zhang Yuelan’s words had directly attracted everyone’s gaze with the exception of Murong You.
She released a snort and revealed a fake smile. She even deliberately asked everyone, “Don’t tell me you’re not looking forward to her performance?”
Who wasn’t looking forward to Zi Yi’s performance?
All of them wanted to see what kind of performance Zi Yi could bring to them.
In fact, some of them were not optimistic about her.
“No one can complete a last-minute performance without the slightest mistake.”
When the current performance ended, a group of performers walked in from off the stage.
At that moment, the host was already announcing the next performance on stage.
“The following performance is not listed in the program list and it is a mystery performance. Can anyone guess whose performance it will be?”
Voices from the audience could be heard as they shouted names one after another.
However, they were not as enthusiastic as when it was the start of the event.
The host obviously wanted to bring up the atmosphere and so, she continued to converse with the audience longer.
After talking for quite some time, the host ultimately did not reveal who the performer was.
When someone brought up the question, she deliberately kept the suspense. “Everyone can make a guess. There’s a prize for people who make a correct guess!”
Ouyang Ming who had kept a low-profile when he arrived was seated at the back rows released a snort. He nudged his elbow towards He Fei who was seated beside him and absent-minded. “Say, do you think the following performance would be Zi Yi’s?”
He Fei stared at the stage and said, “Won’t we know if we continue watching?”
Ouyang Ming could not stand his attitude and said, “Acting like a sage, who do you think you are acting for? If you truly like her, go and compete fairly with Second Brother.”
He Fei looked at him with an eerie gaze.
Ouyang Ming sneered at him. “Where did the shameless man, who dared to argue and fight against his family, go to? If I were you, I would not be so timid.”
He Fei felt like giving the one seated beside him a punch. He then said with a fierce expression, “You’re not personally involved, so obviously it’s easy for you to say such words. If Zi Yi likes me, do you think I would be sitting in such a hidden corner?”
“You’re right…” Ouyang Ming said in an enigmatic tone. “Who told you to be less capable than Second Brother?”
“Get lost.”
He Fei felt like kicking this guy away from his sights.
All traces of cheekiness suddenly disappeared and Ouyang Ming said with a serious expression, “Rather than slowly advancing from your company, it’s better if the both of us complete a few big jobs.”
He Fei tightened his lips and remained silent.
Ouyang Ming looked at him in disappointment. “You’re hesitating every single time I bring this up. Let me tell you, as long as we do the job several times, money would be rolling in. Would you still be worried that you’re inferior compared to Second Brother?”
He Fei’s lips tightened even more.
Ouyang Ming wanted to continue saying something but when he unconsciously turned his head to the side, he saw a familiar figure. He then quickly jabbed He Fei. “Oi!”
“You’re seriously asking for a beating.”
Seeing that the curtain was about to open, He Fei wanted to see if Zi Yi would be performing. However, he was jabbed by Ouyang Ming and was extremely unhappy.
Ouyang Ming said in a solemn voice, “Second Brother is here.”
Hei Fei suddenly turned over to look in a certain direction. As expected, he saw a familiar figure walking towards the front row from the side entrance.
He felt inexplicably agitated deep down.
Just then, the curtains on the stage were fully drawn.
When the audience saw a young lady dressed in a bright red long robe along with a mask that could not conceal her gorgeous and stunning appearance, all their hearts unconsciously skipped a beat, and immediately afterwards, their hearts sped up uncontrollably.
In particular, the masked woman swept her gaze across the audience seats. Her indifferent gaze was simply extremely cool.
Instantly, numerous girl screams could be heard from the audience.
“AHHHH… omg, I can’t stand it!”
“So beautiful!”
“She’s so cool!”
“So gorgeous!”
“Who’s that?”
…
Someone soon guessed that it was Zi Yi. This piece of information was passed on one after another and soon, almost everyone knew the identity of the lady in red.
When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye’s abstruse eyes met, she looked away and took the large brush placed beside her.
The entire scene on the stage had changed. It changed into an ink painting scene of a famous mountain and rivers.
When the brush landed on the rice paper, it was reflected on the projected scene simultaneously.
What of the Great Mountains that hither are situated? Still green everywhere, were once warring states.
The creation of the sky and earth gathers here heavenly splendor, Bearing and geography determine light and shade.
What moves me is seeing vast layers of clouds afloat, I look out far and wide, I see birds making their homeward journey.
One day if I could, I’d like to rise atop the summit of all peaks, Where I could gather sight of all the mountains that there lay.
The brush moved swiftly and the lofty words were completed in one breath. Everyone was stunned by the performance.
The few lines of poems everyone was familiar with had unexpectedly evoked their lofty aspirations.
Everyone could not recover their senses even after a long time.
This was not only applicable to the audience at present. Even everyone who was looking at the live broadcast had been stunned by the lofty sentiments contained within.
Elder Bai looked at the live broadcast and laughed out loud. “Did you see that? This is your Yiyi’s abilities. I didn’t expect that this lass would be writing for tonight’s performance and to think she made it appear all so mysterious. Hehe… well done, well done. Let those foreign painters guess her identity!”
The hacker attack on M.Uni’s live broadcast event had attracted a large crowd. Following that, everyone felt that the quality of their gala was pretty good and so, they continued to watch the various performances.
Thus, they stayed until Zi Yi’s performance.
The words she wrote had caused a huge sensation over the internet.
“Who’s that girl who did the Chinese Calligraphy? To think she was capable of writing those words so magnificently!”
“I unconsciously feel a sense of pride and ambition deep down from my chest.”
“This calligraphy is simply perfect. I wonder if the young lady is willing to sell it? I am willing to pay for it no matter the price.”
“Me too.”
…
Instantly, a large number of messages poured into M.Uni’s official website and official WeChat account as they inquired if they would be selling that calligraphy.
Everyone started to bid.
…
After Zi Yi finished writing and placed the brush aside two people walked up to the stage.
They were unexpectedly the Vice Dean and the President of the Student Union.
The Vice Dean revealed a bright smile as he walked towards Zi Yi and asked, “Student Zi, I wonder if you mind gifting this calligraphy to M.Uni?”
The ViceDean took the initiative to ask and a particular sentence surfaced in everyone’s heart. A wily old fox.
Zi Yi did not care for it much and nodded. “Sure.”
The Vice-Dean motioned to Nangong Yu and said, “Student Nangong, put away the calligraphy. Be careful with it.”
He was still somewhat worried after he reminded Nangong Yu to be careful. He simply put down the mic and personally dealt with the calligraphy.
Since Nangong Yu had nothing to do, he walked to Zi Yi’s side and revealed a smile while he sincerely praised her. “Junior Zi, you’ve impressed me.”
Whereas Zi Yi merely responded with a lukewarm acknowledgment.
The audience below the stage started to stir. In particular, there were many girls who could not help but let their imaginations wander.
“Oh god, why do I feel that the President and Zi Yi are so well-matched?”
