Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Waiting for You to See Me Dazzle the Entire Audience

Gao Wenlan and Mu Tiantian, one was adept at guitar, and the other excelled at violin.

Shi Yiqing made a point of finding out that she was the one with the deepest piano skills in the entire school.

As for people slipping through the net, Shen Huan was one of them.

She did not have much interaction with Shen Huan and was unaware of his skills.

Shen Huan wasn’t one to seek the limelight either, barely drawing attention to himself during group activities.

After narrowing down the criteria, Shi Yiqing ultimately concluded that Shen Huan was that "one that got away."

Just thinking about Shen Huan, Shi Yiqing felt a surge of frustration in her heart.

She had no idea what got into Shen Huan.

They had no past grudges or enmity.

Yet, Shen Huan deliberately tarnished her reputation.

Shi Yiqing couldn’t keep her resentment at bay when she thought of how others now mockingly referred to her as a "joke."

Shen Huan was indeed the Waterloo of her life.

She had thought about reaching out to Shen Huan with goodwill, but Shen Huan was too used to being carefree.

He simply didn’t care to engage with her.

If he wanted to keep treating himself as a wayward breeze and ignore everyone, so be it.

However, the person who ignored her seemed to have tangled up with Shi Yaoguang.

Even, for the sake of Shi Yaoguang, Shen Huan deliberately smeared her good name.

At that thought, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

Why?

Why did things she worked so hard for and poured countless efforts into come so easily to Shi Yaoguang?

Then there was the piano.

Shen Huan had hidden his skill for so long, why did he suddenly stop hiding it?

Was Shi Yaoguang really that important to him?

Important enough to change his usual principles?

...

Shi Yaoguang had no idea she was the object of Shi Yiqing’s envy, jealousy, and hatred.

She just felt her nose itch and sneezed uncontrollably.

"Yaoguang, you couldn’t have caught a cold, could you?" Mu Tiantian looked at her worriedly.

Shi Yaoguang rubbed her nose and shook her head, "I’m not sick—it must be someone thinking about me."

"Who?" asked Mu Tiantian instinctively.

After she asked, she made a pointed face, "It couldn’t be the person who stabbed you in the back, could it?"

Speaking with indignation, Mu Tiantian said, "I just can’t understand how someone could be so shameless, not only secretly registering behind Yaoguang’s back but also badmouthing her, what trash!"

Shi Yaoguang chuckled, "You already call it trash, so why expect anything more from it?"

Mu Tiantian thought about it and found Shi Yaoguang’s words made sense.

But she was still angry.

Seeing her cheeks puffed up with held breath, looking quite like a pufferfish, Shi Yaoguang’s mischievous hands couldn’t resist, and she poked Mu Tiantian’s cheeks.

Mu Tiantian, stunned, exhaled the air in her mouth and looked completely bewildered.

Finding it amusing, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh till her eyes curved.

Mu Tiantian huffed, "Yaoguang, you’re making fun of me now!"

Shi Yaoguang held up her hands in surrender, "I’m not making fun of you."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"Alright then, I’ll force myself to believe you," she said, unveiling a placating smile, "The performance is tomorrow, and you’ll be going on stage—are you going to be very nervous? If you can’t sleep, I can keep you company."

Looking at the almost written "I want to warm your bed" expression on Mu Tiantian’s face, Shi Yaoguang showed a smile that was both helpless and doting.

Shen Huan snorted sourly, "Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t be nervous; you think everyone’s like you?"

"What’s wrong with me?" Mu Tiantian glared at him, "Isn’t everyone supposed to be cute?"

"You are?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"No, you’re not," Shen Huan said with a look of disgust, "Just say it if you want to take advantage, With your behavior, if you were the opposite gender, you’d be the spitting image of a sleazy man."

Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes at him, "I wish I could be a sleazy man, but I don’t have what it takes! Unlike you, who seems much more like someone harboring illicit intentions, with all the necessary ’tools’ at your disposal."

Shen Huan snorted coldly, "Heh."

Mu Tiantian crossed her arms and her look of disdain overflowed.

Shi Yaoguang, seeing the two of them start to argue, had to intervene, "Stop fighting, both of you."

Both turned to look at Shi Yaoguang, their longing expressions were identical.

Shi Yaoguang said, "I think I know who’s targeting me."

"Who?"

"Who is it?"

Shi Yaoguang calmly dropped a name, "Shi Yiqing."

"Shi... Shi Yiqing?" Mu Tiantian’s eyes widened, "It’s actually her! She already took your place in the Shi Family, isn’t she satisfied? I’ve never seen such a shameless person!"

A fake heiress, not content with merely usurping, but also indulging in a sense of superiority.

It wasn’t enough to just push the real heiress out, she aimed to completely eradicate her.

Calling her trash would be a compliment.

Shen Huan clicked his tongue, "Indeed, the most poisonous is a woman’s heart."

Mu Tiantian shaking Shi Yaoguang’s arm, said to her, "Yaoguang, Yaoguang, did you hear that? She’s doing it deliberately, like cursing the mulberry tree while pointing at the locust tree!"

"And talking about the most poisonous woman’s heart, as if we aren’t women ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huan fell silent for a moment.

He awkwardly touched his nose, "I wasn’t talking about you guys."

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Doesn’t matter, I’m not exactly a good person anyway."

Seeing this, Mu Tiantian immediately switched sides, "Right, doesn’t matter, I’m just plain poisonous."

Shen Huan clicked his tongue, "That’s not what you were saying just now."

"That was then, this is now, every moment is a new beginning," Mu Tiantian prattled, "The me from a second ago, and the me from this second, are not the same person. The words I spoke a second ago and what I’m saying now, are not the same words..."

Shen Huan, not wanting to listen to her blabber, turned and walked away.

Mu Tiantian huffed, as if her glare alone could bore holes in his retreating back.

Shi Yaoguang, seeing Mu Tiantian like this, was about to say something when her phone rang in her pocket.

Caller ID...

She just glanced at it when Mu Tiantian exclaimed, "Wow! It’s dinnertime!"

Having said that, without waiting for Shi Yaoguang to react, she waved her hand and ran off.

Shi Yaoguang, resigned, answered the phone.

Quan Jinbei’s voice came through quickly from the other end.

"Are you out of school?"

Shi Yaoguang hummed a response and went on to tell him about what had happened at school.

After listening to her, Quan Jinbei’s tone became serious, "Was it that Shi Family member again?"

"Most likely."

After hearing her out, Quan Jinbei asked, "What can I do for you?"

Shi Yaoguang, without any pretense, said directly, "She reported my program without my consent, and I need evidence."

Quan Jinbei’s lips curled slightly, "I’ll have someone send it over to you in a while."

Shi Yaoguang replied cheerfully, "Okay."

"When are you coming back?"

"The flight’s at 8:00 tonight, I’ll arrive tomorrow."

After Quan Jinbei spoke, he added, "I’ll arrive in Mingzhu City before your performance starts, and I’ve also arranged a stylist for you, guaranteed to make you the most dazzling one there."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Then thank you for the auspicious words, Third Master. I’ll be waiting for you to watch me shine."
