Chapter 109: Disappointed
“Yueyue, of course it’s true. Here comes your chance,” He Yuan said with a smile, squinting at Sheng Yang and Fang Duo with contempt at the same time.
Sheng Yue blinked, musing.
When Sheng Yang heard these words, her eyelashes trembled slightly and Fang Duo turned to look at her. It seemed that Yangyang had also heard of this Mr. Yang. If Yangyang could play some musical instrument, why didn’t she give it a try?
So she asked Yangyang seriously, “Would you like to change instruments?”
“No.” Sheng Yang only looked uneasy for a moment. It was like a pebble falling into a lake, and the lake soon returned to calm.
Sheng Yue and Han Jingyu were about to take the stage and He Yuan changed into clothes of the same color in order to match with them. Although she would just open the piano lid for them, she still valued this chance very much.
Sheng Yue suddenly pulled He Yuan aside and whispered, “Yuanyuan, I want to tell you something. I hope you don’t get angry.”
“Well, what is it?”
“Um… although I allowed you to be on stage with us, this show won’t be performed by me alone. There’s also Han Jingyu…” She stopped abruptly halfway.
He Yuan looked at Han Jingyu not far away and was immediately agitated. “You mean Han Jingyu said no? Why? I won’t interfere. After lifting the piano lid, I’ll just stand next to you like a quiet pillar.”
She said humbly, “Even that isn’t okay?”
“Keep your voice down.” Sheng Yue glanced back, “If Jingyu hears what you said, I’m afraid he’ll dislike you even more.”
“Jingyu”? It seemed that Sheng Yue didn’t want her to ruin the two-person world of her and Han Jingyu. Disappointed, He Yuan drew circles on the ground with her foot. “Okay then.”
Sheng Yue showed a relieved smile. “Good Yuanyuan. When school finishes, I’ll treat you to ice cream to express my apologies.”
He Yuan seemed absent-minded. How could ice cream make up for this? But she still said, “Yueyue, please don’t feel guilty. It’s not your fault.”
Sheng Yue nodded and lowered her eyes, concealing the relief in her eyes.
**
Sheng Yue and Han Jingyu took the stage. Undoubtedly, they gave the most eye-catching performance today. They coordinated perfectly and produced beautiful music.
Even Jiang Xinyi, who was sitting in the audience, stuck out her chest with pride. Although her daughter hadn’t surpassed Sheng Yang on the exam, she played the piano so well, which was something Sheng Yang couldn’t do.
She turned to look at Kang Weizhen’s reaction only to see Kang Weizhen whispering to Sheng You intimately. Even in front of so many people, Sheng You still put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and held her in his arms to prevent her from being bumped against by others.
Thinking how Sheng Tai treated her, Jiang Xinyi couldn’t help feeling sad. Instead of getting a sense of superiority, she was sulking.
The principal was standing next to the legendary Mr. Yang while making introductions: “These two are very gifted students from our school. This is the third year they’ve performed as an ensemble.”
For a long time, Old Yang didn’t speak but kept his eyes closed. The principal smiled awkwardly, thinking this “genius” was a bit weird.
But after a while, Mr. Yang opened his eyes, his eyes sharp. He frowned and said harshly, “Are there no talented students at your school?”
