Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Have you and she experienced life and death together?

Shi Yiqing appeared on camera in a dress, hesitation flickering in her eyes.

But the words that came out were filled with concern, "I’ve seen everyone’s comments on the forum... everyone has really misunderstood my sister. She isn’t the type to flee before a battle, the reason she hasn’t shown up is probably because she’s feeling unwell."

As she spoke, her face was a picture of sincerity, "I even heard my sister say she had a headache this morning, so please don’t doubt her anymore."

At this point, another person’s voice appeared in the video.

That person asked, "Wasn’t Shi Yaoguang expelled by the Shi Family? How did you see her this morning?"

Shi Yiqing seemed to be stumped by the question and an awkward expression appeared on her face, but then she said, "This question..."

"This question what? Can’t you answer it? Or are you just making excuses for her?"

Shi Yiqing looked increasingly embarrassed, "No, I didn’t mean to make excuses, I just... I just don’t want you all to misunderstand my sister."

"It’s all my fault, if it weren’t for me and my sister accidentally being switched at birth, my sister would have lived within the Shi Family for all these years and become an outstanding lady, she most certainly would have been able to play the piano."

After saying this, she covered her mouth as if she had said something wrong.

The previously sharp voice spoke again, "You admit that Shi Yaoguang can’t play the piano?"

Shi Yiqing looked panicked, "No, that’s not it, I never said my sister can’t play the piano."

Speaking thusly, her gaze lowered slightly, "I’m just worried that my sister isn’t accustomed to the stage."

"So you’re saying, Shi Yaoguang can play the piano then?"

Shi Yiqing nodded and looked into the camera, her eyes filled with encouragement, "Sister, I believe in you! You can do it! Go for it~"

With that, she made a cheering hand gesture.

The video ended there.

Mu Tiantian closed the video, her face showing a disdainful expression.

"What does it mean to have no shame? This is it."

She clicked her tongue, "She’s quite the drama queen, able to conjure up her own opposition when there’s none against her."

"But that’s good in a way, it separates the wheat from the chaff."

She shook her head, "With the contrast, everyone can see more clearly just how wonderful Yaoguang is~"

Shen Huan watched Mu Tiantian’s affected expression and scoffed softly, "She doesn’t need any of that."

Mu Tiantian frowned and looked at him unhappily, "Shen Huan, even if you are the top student, you can’t be so presumptuous, right?"

Shen Huan raised an eyebrow, "Presumptuous?"

Mu Tiantian met his piercing hawk-like gaze and meekly shrunk back.

But then recalling what she wanted to say, she instantly perked up.

"It’s not that I’m picking a fight, but tell me, how long have you known Yaoguang?"

As Mu Tiantian spoke, she pointed at herself, "Me, I became good friends with Yaoguang on her first day at the special class. Can you compare with that?"

Shen Huan: "You became her friend, do you know what she likes or dislikes? Do you know what skills she has? Have you gone through life and death with her?"

Mu Tiantian was dumbfounded by his questions.

"What are you talking about? Of course Yaoguang likes soft and sweet girls like me! As for her skills, does it matter? Whatever Yaoguang is good at, I like it. Whatever she can’t do, it doesn’t matter! And as for experiencing life and death..."

She sneered, "You think this is a movie? Where in real life is there so much life and death."

Shen Huan shook a finger, "No, in this world, there truly are many life and death situations."

"Moreover, I have been through it with her."

Mu Tiantian’s first reaction was, "Impossible!"

"If you don’t believe it, you can go ask her yourself," Shen Huan said, turning away nonchalantly.

Mu Tiantian watched his retreating figure, furious.

She already believed what Shen Huan had said.

She was convinced that Shen Huan had no reason to lie to her.

Since it wasn’t Shen Huan tricking her, that meant everything he said was true.

In other words, she still lost to Shen Huan.

Just thinking about it made Mu Tiantian unbearably sour.

Fueled by her grief and indignation, she went straight to the forum and tore into an argument with someone.

...

Shi Yaoguang knew nothing about what had transpired between Shen Huan and the others, she and Quan Jinbei, with little Shi Fan in tow, had finished dinner and then drove to the school.

By the time they arrived, the cultural performance had already begun.

Shi Yiqing had arranged her own piano performance as the grand finale in order to showcase her extraordinary piano skills.

Shi Yaoguang’s piano solo was also scheduled for the very end.

Everything needs a comparison.

In Shi Yiqing’s view, Shi Yaoguang was absolutely not a pianist.

As such, her piano performance must serve as a foil to her own.

She had it all planned out: let Shi Yaoguang go on stage first.

After everyone’s ears were "tormented" by her, she’d go on stage to perform.

To cleanse everyone’s ears.

Such a move was always a plus at any time.

Even if her performance was only worth eight points, it would end up being a ten.

Moreover, in her mind, she was already at a master level.

When Shi Yiqing was feeling pleased with herself, she never considered another possibility.

Her arrangement was a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, it could promote her own success.

But there was also a chance that...

Shi Yaoguang’s piano performance would dazzle everyone, and she...

Would merely become a backdrop.

Confident in herself, Shi Yiqing was eager to see Shi Yaoguang take the stage.

The video she previously posted on the forum, aside from showcasing her tea art, had another purpose.

It was meant to provoke Shi Yaoguang into performing on stage.

...

Shi Yaoguang returned to school when the cultural performance was one-third of the way through.

When Shi Yiqing’s call came, she was in a rest room the headmaster had cleared for her in advance, doing her makeup.

Seeing her phone ring, little Shi Fan scurried over with the phone to Shi Yaoguang: "Sister, you’ve got a call."

Shi Yaoguang smiled at him and picked up.

She had blocked Shi Yiqing’s number, so the incoming call was from an unknown number.

She answered the phone with a "hello."

Shi Yiqing’s voice came through immediately, "Sister, your performance is coming up, how come you’re not here yet?"

"Performance? What performance?"

Shi Yaoguang went into pretense mode.

On hearing this, Shi Yiqing’s brows furrowed on schedule, and a bad feeling arose within her.

Could it be that Shi Yaoguang knew she would make a fool of herself on stage and deliberately didn’t show up?

Thinking of this possibility, she became absolutely furious.

But, remembering her own objective, she could only suppress her rage and tried to sound as normal as possible, "Sister, stop joking with me. Today isn’t April Fool’s Day. If you don’t come soon, everyone will really think you’re a coward, and if I try to clear your name then, it will just be a joke."
