Chapter 119: 89. Tracklist Confirmed to be All Lies_3

Ah, the best feeling ever, I finally got to do what a protagonist should do!

Dubian Che never wanted a life of stealing girls’ panties and thigh-high socks!

What he wanted was effort, struggle, passion, to be number one—of course, that was the life before the age of twenty-five.

Under the glaring bright lights of the music classroom, Dubian Che looked at everyone with eager anticipation.

All faces flushed with embarrassment, their gazes fixed on Mayi Asuka.

Mayi Asuka seemed angry too, a faint blush spreading over her usually expressionless face as she stared blankly at the boastful Dubian Che on the podium.

But why was she staring for so long? Why wasn’t she stepping up?

That’s right, Mayi Asuka had never cared about these things, as long as she could play her instrument, that was all that mattered.

Realizing this, the crowd turned their attention to Ayane Kumi.

Ayane Kumi gave a helpless wry smile, glanced at Kiyono Lin, who nodded, and then stood up with her bassoon, which resembled a water pipe, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Dubian, please let me have a good look at your strength."

Watching Ayane Kumi’s ever-gentle smile, Dubian Che lost his fighting spirit, knowing that the well-liked senior had been pushed to come forward by everyone else.

He needed an enemy who looked down on him, even one who wanted to use underhanded tactics!

Dubian Che wasn’t a bad person; he did not have the habit of challenging others recklessly, relying on his strength, regardless of their character.

However, in order to attract hostility and motivate everyone to practice diligently, to listen to Kiyono Lin’s instructions obediently, and to ensure the Wind Instrument Club’s advance to the national competition, he had to continue playing the ’villain.’

"Then you go first, Ayane."

Dubian Che was worried that if he played first, the pressure on the other party would be too great.

"Thank you."

After Ayane Kumi finished speaking, her bassoon’s delicate and warm notes filled the music classroom.

Whether it was the high-pitched sections or the difficult note transitions, all were flawlessly executed, without a single flaw to be found.

The dazzling tone was heart-stirring. Everyone closed their eyes, immersed in the sound.

Ayane Kumi’s skills had improved a lot since before; from her performance, Dubian could hear the traces of her hard work behind the scenes.

After the performance ended, there was a very enthusiastic round of applause.

Ayane Kumi smiled and nodded, pleased with her performance.

"Mr. Dubian, it’s your turn now."

"Okay."

The smooth melody hardly revealed any note transitions; each tone wrapped around with a lingering warmth that made one’s whole body flush.

After Dubian Che finished performing, the entire hall fell silent, only Mayi Asuka was clapping lightly, seemingly just going through the motions.

When everyone came to their senses, they looked at her with admiration.

As expected of the senior, such a pure musical heart... The embarrassed crowd also began to applaud.

Jiutiao Meijie had already returned, if the senior continued like this, I, her junior, am really going to die... Dubian Che looked towards the swelling chest of Mayi Asuka, wondering what she could possibly be thinking.

"Ayane, I’ve decided to go with Mr. Dubian’s solo piece, what do you think?" Kiyono Lin asked.

"I have no objections, Mr. Dubian played better than me and is also a member of the Wind Instrument Club, there’s no issue with him doing the solo," Ayane Kumi said with an unwavering smile.

Kiyono Lin nodded and instructed everyone, "Come get the music files from me, save them in your players, listen to them every day, you must memorize the score, and don’t let the judges write comments like ’apart from the oboe player, what are the others here for.’"

"Understood!"

At half-past eleven, on the way back.

"Mayi seems upset," Kiyono Lin said.

"Really?" Dubian Che said with doubt.

"It’s the first time I’ve seen her show emotion. It must be because you were too arrogant."

"It was all for you, you know."

"Lies." Kiyono Lin flatly denied, then suggested, "Wouldn’t you want to talk to her alone? Given Mayi’s personality, she would keep our secrets, right?"

"I’m not going," Dubian Che immediately refused without a second thought.

Alone?

He was still worried about how not to give her an opportunity to catch him alone; how could he willingly walk into such a situation?

"What’s your reason?" Kiyono Lin, as always, asked for others’ opinions.

"People who aren’t interested in ’Card Face to Fight,’ I really have nothing to talk about with them."
