Chapter 118: Giving You Support

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Thank you for explaining the problem to me. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have spent a lot more time on it,” Mei Shu said contentedly, putting away the question and glancing at the clock on the wall. She smiled, “It’s almost time. Let’s go to the auditorium.”

“Sure.” Lu Yan smiled.

They walked side by side out of the classroom, but just as they stepped outside, they unexpectedly saw Li Zhen standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall lost in thought.

“Why are you here?” Lu Yan’s smile vanished as soon as he saw Li Zhen.

Li Zhen stood up straight, but he didn’t even look at Lu Yan. Instead, his gaze fell directly on Mei Shu. “I came to wait for you to go to the auditorium together.”

Mei Shu didn’t catch the hidden currents between the two of them. She saw that time was running out, so she hurriedly led them towards the auditorium.

By now, a piano had already been placed on the stage by the students from the music club.

The school leaders sat in the front row, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.

The school had never held such a cultural event before, and everyone felt it was a novelty. There were not many restrictions on the students below.

Without the restraint of teachers, they were gossiping and whispering to each other, and some even purposely stuck their heads out to mock the group supporting Mei Shu.

“Why hasn’t your ‘sister’ Mei Shu arrived yet? Could it be that she knows she can’t win and is going to ask for a sick leave from the teacher later?”

“She might as well not come. It’s better to take sick leave and save herself from embarrassment!”

These two loud and mocking remarks immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Wen Miao was so irritated that her teeth itched, she couldn’t help but stand up and counter, “Clearly, it’s not worth Mei Shu’s time to show up early for Zhou Li! Such a small competition, she could definitely handle it in a matter of minutes!”

“Quit boasting! 1 heard that Mei Shu hasn’t even passed a piano level exam! Maybe not even as good as my five-year-old brother playing!”

Laughter from below became even louder.

Wen Miao was at a loss for words, her face turning red, and she could only sit down.

Even before the competition, Wen Miao had vaguely heard that Mei Shu couldn’t play the piano at all.

However, despite that, she chose to support Mei Shu. She inexplicably felt that Mei Shu wouldn’t fight an unprepared battle.

Zhou Li sat confidently next to the teacher, waiting for her turn to perform.

Next to her, Zhao Min anxiously looked at her watch.

Zhou Li noticed this and immediately remarked with a sweet smile, “I heard that Teacher Zhao recommended Mei Shu to represent the school in the piano competition. Does Teacher Zhao have such high regard for Mei Shu’s abilities?”

Zhao Min nodded solemnly, “In my understanding, no one can match Mei Shu.”

Zhou Li’s smile froze, and she turned away in annoyance.

What an ignorant teacher.

Later, she would make Zhao Min realize how shortsighted she was!

Soon, the officially scheduled start time of the competition arrived.

Mei Shu finally appeared at the entrance of the auditorium, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.

To their surprise, she was accompanied by Lu Yan, the school’s genius, and Li Zhen, the school heartthrob!

“Sorry, Teacher Zhao, I’m late,” Mei Shu apologized to the teachers in the front row one by one.

In fact, as long as she could come, Zhao Min would be very happy.

Seeing Mei Shu, she felt a sense of duty not to let the precious gem be neglected.

“Alright, then I announce the start of the competition!” Zhao Min happily went up to the stage to host.

In the audience.

Zhou Li familiarly and affectionately tugged at Lu Yan’s sleeve, “Brother Lu Yan, today, the classmates took their seats according to who they support. 1 saved you a good seat. Come and sit on my side.”

Even if she didn’t say it, Lu Yan had already noticed the peculiar arrangement in the auditorium.

Clearly, there were too few people on Mei Shu’s side, leaving half of the seats empty, while the other side was crowded with students. There must be some reason hidden there.

But what he didn’t expect was this.

Zhou Li’s reserved seat was naturally in her camp, the second row in the center, just after the teacher’s seat. The view was broad and clear, providing a clear view of the piano on the central stage.

She did this on purpose.

Zhou Li was very good at playing piano, and of course, she wanted Lu Yan to admire her skills.

However, to her surprise, instead of following her words and sitting on her side, Lu Yan took a step back, avoiding her hand, and smiled gently at Mei Shu, “I’ll wait for your good news.”

With that, he turned around and left, sitting resolutely on an empty seat on Mei Shu’s side, right in front of everyone.

Who was Lu Yan?

He was the acknowledged genius of No.i High School!

And Zhou Li had been claiming that he was her childhood sweetheart!

Now, Lu Yan was sitting on the same side as Mei Shu, which naturally seemed inconceivable.

Someone kindly reminded him that he should sit on Zhou Li’s side.

Lu Yan’s face turned cold, and he responded indifferently, “I’m not sitting in the wrong place. I’m here to give Mei Shu support.”

A single sentence made Zhou Li feel humiliated in front of everyone.

She had boasted about how good her relationship was with Lu Yan before, and now she felt like her face was being slapped..
