Chương 89: is nice, isn't it? As long as it's nice!

As long as it's nice!

As long as it's nice! (5k)

"I guess they're from the same college as me, but they didn't answer my calls!"

Qin Rui laughed and said, "Him? He's very busy. I heard he's secretly practicing playing the flute. Hehe!"

After saying that, the little girl blushed and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Clearly, he was thinking of some indescribable scene.

"You little pervert! Do you want to learn this too?"

Li Xinran chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying teasingly.

"Ugh, I think you're the one who wants to learn!"

Qin Rui giggled and gave her a nudge, and the two of them started playfully wrestling.

On the other side of the audience seats.

In the accounting school area, He Wanqing was pouting, looking rather annoyed.

"Zhao Rui didn't call you?"

The woman beside him asked curiously.

"no."

He Wanqing sighed deeply, thinking that if you like a boy, you should never like one who is too outstanding.

Otherwise, you will be exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"He Wanqing, I have a performance later, could you go up and give me some flowers?"

Just then, a boy with light makeup and an exquisite performance costume walked over with a smile.

He was also holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

This is a senior student from their college, who has a pretty good singing voice. He was one of the performers selected by the School of Accounting this time.

"It's Senior Xue Meng!"

Before He Wanqing could react, her female companion covered her mouth, stood up, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hello!"

Xue Meng nodded politely to his female companion, but his gaze immediately fell on He Wanqing.

"Excuse me, senior, please find someone else."

He Wanqing refused without hesitation.

"this……"

Xue Meng was surprised by He Wanqing's decisive refusal, and an awkward expression immediately appeared on his face.

However, she quickly smiled and said generously, "Okay then, cheer me on when I sing later!"

"No problem, senior!"

You can refuse a flower offer; it's a small matter and there's no problem with it.

After Xue Meng finished speaking, he took the flowers and turned to leave the audience.

"Wow, Wanqing, why aren't you saying yes? It's just sending flowers, nothing more."

The woman beside him said with a hint of regret.

"I don't want to deliver it, please stop talking."

He Wanqing said unhappily, then looked ahead and gazed at the stage.

Xue Meng's arrival attracted the attention of many classmates. After he left, they all looked away and whispered among themselves:

"Being pretty is an asset; Xue Meng must be interested in her!"

"Yeah, if it were me, I'd definitely say yes. He's so handsome!"

She sings beautifully and is also good-looking.

"Are you asking for it? Be careful Zhao Rui hears this, he'll slap you to death!"

"Oops, I forgot, but if I had to choose, I'd still choose Xue Meng."

"I just have a special fondness for artsy young men."

"Too bad, neither of them chose you!"

"How can you be so annoying!"

……

The annual campus arts festival is an arts and cultural event jointly organized by the student union and the college of arts.

It consists of many smaller projects, and tonight's performance can be considered the final battle.

The students below the stage eagerly watched the laser lights and display screens on the stage gradually change colors.

"Countdown, 3, 2, 1..."

As the host's clear and pleasant voice rang out, the arts festival's gala officially began.

A group of sexy girls in miniskirts rushed up and started jumping and bouncing.

This immediately raised the already excited atmosphere to a new level.

"Next, please welcome Zhang Xin from the School of Arts to sing a song for everyone..."

Soon, a series of wonderful performances began to take place.

"We'll be at our college soon. Xue Meng's performance is one of a kind."

"Wait a minute, everyone cheer me on! Let's shout out the spirit of our Accounting School!"

Xue Meng's classmate, a male student who was also the vice president of the college's student union, was giving a pep talk.

"Next, please welcome Xue Meng, a third-year student from the School of Accounting, to sing the song 'One Glance at You, and I Forgot Qingchuan.'"

As the host finished speaking, Xue Meng, dressed in a handsome outfit, stepped onto the stage and began to sing a song with deep emotion.

"Oh, oh, senior is so handsome."

"Go Xue Meng!"

"Xue Meng, we love you!"

Cheers erupted from the Accounting School area below the stage, and many girls stood up excitedly, waving their glow sticks vigorously.

On stage, Xue Meng was clearly a seasoned performer, singing with ease and grace, while also interacting with the students in the audience.

As the song reached its climax, a round light suddenly shone on him.

He slowly walked down the steps and headed towards the accounting school area.

The lights followed all the way!

Just as he stepped into the area where the academy was located, the vice president who had been campaigning for him picked up a bouquet of flowers from beside his seat and handed it to him.

This was clearly designed.

Everyone applauded and cheered.

I thought Xue Meng came down for this effect.

However, after receiving the flowers, he did not leave but instead sang as he walked straight towards the freshman area.

All eyes turned to them.

Before long, he arrived in front of He Wanqing.

This scene was projected onto the big screen by the camera, immediately causing a stir and cheers from the audience.

Xue Meng sang with deep emotion, while making a very gentlemanly gesture, handing the flowers in his hand to He Wanqing.

Wow, the girl is so pretty!

"So, there really are such a well-matched couple!"

"Take it, take it, take it!"

There will never be a shortage of people who stir up trouble in this world.

He Wanqing looked extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, she was also very ashamed and annoyed.

Xue Meng's actions were clearly an attempt to force a resignation, and they went too far.

"Wanqing, please accept this!"

Her female companion beside her excitedly encouraged her.

However, He Wanqing remained unmoved, creating an awkward situation.

Just then, the female companion next to her suddenly reached out and took the flowers, then stuffed them directly into He Wanqing's arms.

"oh!!!"

As the flowers changed hands, cheers erupted from the audience.

The onlookers don't care how the flowers were delivered; they just need to provide the emotional value of watching.

Seeing this, Xue Meng quickly turned around and walked towards the stage, afraid that He Wanqing would throw a tantrum and chase after him to return the flowers.

"What are you doing?"

Below the stage, He Wanqing looked at her female companion with displeasure.

Even if you don't like him, you shouldn't embarrass him in public! That's so hurtful!

The female companion spoke with conviction.

"I'm never talking to you again!"

"Oh, Zhao Rui will understand. Besides, you need to give him a competitor so he'll cherish you more."

"I won't listen! You're talking nonsense!"

He Wanqing angrily threw the flowers back at her, then covered her ears, pouting and sulking.

After the performance ended, Xue Meng bowed slightly in thanks and left the stage.

The overall design is quite thoughtful, except that the female lead who accepts the flowers doesn't really give them any face.

Xue Meng's expression was not very good, but at least the flowers were sent out.

I'll apologize to her later; that would be a subtle way of expressing my deep affection for her.

"That girl just now, why does she look like He Wanqing?"

"In the martial arts academy area," Qin Rui said, frowning.

"Who?"

"Zhao Rui's girlfriend in class. I've met her before."

"Pfft, when did Zhao Rui get a girlfriend? How come I didn't know? And she's his 'little girlfriend'? Are you his 'first wife'?!"

Li Xinran laughed heartily.

"Ugh, I'm getting serious. Anyway, we're pretty close, but where did this guy go? His house was burgled!"

"What do you mean, 'steal my place'? That girl clearly didn't accept it, and Zhao Rui's house is still guarded! I think you're up to no good! Tell me, don't you like me, do you like Zhao Rui instead?"

Li Xinran raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Rui.

"How could that be, darling? I only love you! Hehe!"

Qin Rui chuckled, hugged Li Xinran, and gave her a quick kiss.

"It's alright, we should keep the good stuff in the family, I won't mind."

"Damn it, Li Xinran, have you no shame?!"

The two of them were playfully bickering in hushed tones amidst the loud music.

The program continued.

About ten minutes later, the host walked onto the stage with a smile and sang in a professional and resonant voice, slightly deep:

"With sword in hand, I stride on horseback, unleashing a rain of ghosts."

The bones flew away like a mountain bird.

The world is like a tide, and people are like water.

Alas, how many heroes return from the martial world?

The host paused briefly, then continued, "Next, please welcome Ouyang Xin, a third-year student from the School of Arts, and Zhao Rui, a first-year student from the School of Accounting, to perform their original piece, 'The Rising Tide of the Azure Sea'! Please give them a warm welcome!"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the School of Accounting!

"Holy crap, it's someone from our academy, isn't it Zhao Rui, that martial arts student!"

"It's still an original work!"

"yes!"

"I didn't hear a sound!"

"It's not just a simple martial arts performance, is it?"

"I guess he was performing while the other person was playing the instrument."

"Don't you remember that song he sang before, 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty'? He's talented, okay?"

"Ah, right, I'd forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, the stage lights changed, and suddenly a burst of piano music resounded out.

The crisp and melodious music instantly resounded throughout the entire playground, as if the glint of swords and shadows were appearing before people's eyes.

It tells a series of epic tales of love, hate, and passion.

"Wow, that sounds great!"

"It feels so much like a martial arts story!"

As the stage lights shone, Ouyang Xin, dressed in ancient costume, lightly plucked the strings, producing resounding notes.

A gentle breeze blew, and her beautiful hair fluttered in the breeze.

Her jade-like face was lowered, and her slender fingers moved like lightning.

"Senior Ouyang, I love you!"

A burst of excited shouts immediately erupted from the audience.

"Where's Zhao Rui? I haven't seen him anywhere."

The students from the School of Accounting and the Martial Arts Team looked around in surprise.

"Buzz..."

A flute melody rang out, like thunder piercing the sky, or the rising sun at dawn.

Then, a rapid and uniquely rhythmic flute melody, seemingly about to explode in everyone's chests, slowly drifted from the back of the playground.

The flute's beautiful melody, with its dramatic rhythm, is like a giant wave rising from a vast, boundless sea, creating waves that stir the soul.

The stage lights shone back.

Zhao Rui, dressed in a light-colored ancient scholar's robe, rose into the air from the high platform behind him, transforming into a graceful white shadow. He played the flute and walked lightly through the air towards the stage.

"Holy crap!"

The audience was stunned.

You can play it like this!

The entire venue instantly erupted in cheers.

"Hey, Zhao Rui, I love you! You're so cool!"

Li Xinran was so excited that she opened her arms and waved them vigorously.

Qin Rui wasn't idle either; she put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly.

Luo Min, who was sitting nearby, also looked incredulous. Was this really the Zhao Rui she knew before?

Is this really a piece he composed?

An unusual glint appeared in her eyes.

The people in the accounting department have gone mad too.

Especially the group of female students who were already fond of Zhao Rui in their freshman year, they all screamed loudly.

So cool!

"Wanqing, Wanqing, it's Zhao Rui, it's Zhao Rui!"

He Wanqing's female companion stared wide-eyed.

She had just been thinking that no matter how outstanding Zhao Rui was, he was at most a martial arts student.

But I didn't expect the backlash to come so quickly. The host said that this was a new song he co-wrote with that girl.

sounds so good.

And the way he leaped down just now was really cool.

Compared to this, Xue Meng doesn't seem like much at all!

"I really want to steal He Wanqing's boyfriend!"

The female companion felt a shiver run through her body, and an indescribable pleasure welled up inside her.

On the stage, Zhao Rui gently landed in the center, holding a flute, and slowly walked to Ouyang Xin's side.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

The sounds of flutes and zithers intertwined instantly, merging into a vast wave of sound that swept across the entire playground.

Suddenly, the two played the instruments at an even faster pace, and the sounds of the zither and flute became more urgent and high-pitched, as if a silver bottle had suddenly shattered and a torrential downpour had begun.

It seemed as if iron cavalry had suddenly charged out, and the cries of swords and spears were mournful!

Those in the audience felt their hearts pounding uncontrollably, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.

That feeling of utter terror sent chills down my spine.

I couldn't wait to shout it out loud and release the surging emotions in my heart.

Just then, the zither music suddenly changed, and the flute music paused slightly, like the moon rising over the river and the murmuring of a spring.

As starlight begins to appear, a fisherman sings a long, melodious tune on the river, capturing the moonlit scenery before fading into solitude.

After the song ended, Zhao Rui and the other person bowed in thanks and then walked gracefully off the stage.

After a moment's hesitation, deafening applause and cheers erupted across the entire playground.

Just then, a graceful figure, like a small beast, darted through the crowd and ran quickly towards the two of them.

The stage lighting technician was quick-witted and immediately shone the spotlights on them.

The other party's image was displayed on the large screen in a timely manner.

"It's He Wanqing!"

The people in the accounting department were astonished.

She was seen jogging along, carrying a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

Upon reaching the two of them, without saying a word, he directly presented the flowers to Zhao Rui with both hands.

"Holy crap, lighting technician, are you short of dog food?"

"Who is this woman? She's shameless."

A commotion suddenly erupted on the playground.

Zhao Rui was slightly taken aback, then smiled and reached out to accept the flowers.

Upon seeing the flowers presented, He Wanqing suddenly tiptoed and rushed into Zhao Rui's arms like a fledgling returning to its nest.

Before Zhao Rui could react, she covered her face shyly and ran back to her seat.

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, bringing the atmosphere of the entire performance back to a climax.

"This junior is so lucky!"

Ouyang Xin, standing to the side, smiled with a hint of envy.

Zhao Rui scratched his head and quickly slipped away to a place where the lights couldn't reach him.

This is a scene outside the script; he didn't mention to anyone that he was going to act in it.

"Hold!"

"Those are my flowers! You bitch!"

In a corner backstage, Xue Meng, who witnessed this scene, completely broke down and threw away his thermos.

Besides Xue Meng, who was injured, some members of the martial arts team were also extremely unhappy.

Cai Zhengyang clenched his fists with a mixture of envy and resentment, muttering fiercely to himself, "Why isn't it me who gets to show off like this?"

"I am the chosen one!"

After venting his frustrations, he quickly took out his phone and started searching for the names of musical instrument training schools.

……

The party lasted until after 9 p. m.

Zhao Rui didn't stay long; after finishing his performance, he climbed over the wall and left the playground.

Because there were other people waiting for him in the grove.

As a result, after he left, He Wanqing, Li Xinran, and the others all came up empty-handed and couldn't find him at all.

Only then did everyone realize that this guy had run away long ago.

He Wanqing's female companion, who was beside her, saw this scene and her thoughts began to churn.

"It seems that He Wanqing and Zhao Rui's relationship is just that—that."

A smug smile immediately appeared in her eyes.

Qin Rui and the others naturally saw He Wanqing, who had come looking for Zhao Rui, and greeted her with smiles.

"Not as pretty as you!"

Li Xinran leaned close to Qin Rui's ear and whispered something.

Qin Rui gave her a playful glare, then pulled her along and quickly left the backstage area.

After the two left the playground, they called Zhao Rui.

"Where has the talented Zhao gone?"

The call connected, and Li Xinran said with a grin.

"Practicing martial arts!"

"..."

Li Xinran was speechless and retorted, "Such a great opportunity to pick up girls, and you go practice your martial arts? Are you stupid?!"

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm starting to doubt if you're even a man! All you ever talk about is that trivial stuff!"

Zhao Rui hung up the phone abruptly.

He said I only ever worry about the same trivial things!

Li Xinran stared blankly at Qin Rui, then casually slumped over and said, "I wish I could have that kind of nonsense too!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Rui blushed and playfully punched her twice, spitting out, "Alright, stop bothering him. Practicing martial arts is a good thing."

"Yeah, let's go practice too. Otherwise, this kid will accuse me of always thinking about trivial things!"

"Shut up!"

The two left the playground entrance laughing and joking.

On the other side, Miao Miaomiao listened curiously to his phone call with Li Xinran, hesitant to speak, but thought it was inappropriate to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls.

I had no choice but to keep it to myself.

He glanced furtively at the flowers perched on a nearby treetop.

"Keep practicing! You've been making good progress lately. Keep it up!"

Zhao Rui put away his phone and looked at Miao Miaomiao.

In fact, while he was teaching Miao Miaomiao to restore her power and cultivate the Enchanting Immortal Technique, he was also experiencing it all over again.

Furthermore, we can analyze the teaching methods and try to combine them with the unique skills in the Xuan Yin Lie Xiao Pu to see if the idea is feasible.

The feeling of constantly having new experiences and breakthroughs in martial arts was truly irresistible to him.

This is also why he didn't want to stay at the party any longer and came early.

On a cold, clear night, the moon is cold and the stars are few.

The hustle and bustle outside had absolutely no connection to this little grove at this moment.

The only things that might intrude upon it are the biting spring chill and the bright, clear moon.

……

The next day, Zhao Rui, who had slept soundly, was greeted by several team members who looked at him with admiration as soon as he entered the martial arts team. They asked, "Did you really compose that piece of music yourself? Impressive, Brother Rui!"

"Isn't it nice?"

"It sounds great!"

Zhao Rui chuckled, "As long as it sounds good," and then stepped into the main hall of Mingchan Academy.
