Chapter 1234 - Chapter 1234 Chapter 1234 Burning with Jealousy

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234 Burning with Jealousy Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234 Burning with Jealousy Hearing Luo Yuqing say that, Luo Ziling, who was watching from below the stage, couldn’t help but grimace with bitterness.

He didn’t need to say it; he knew the person Luo Yuqing wanted to invite was definitely him.

Sure enough, Luo Yuqing publicly declared her desire to invite Yan University’s newly-risen school heartthrob, the man of many girls’ dreams, Luo Ziling, to sing a song with her.

After Luo Ziling’s name was called out, the entire audience erupted in screams again.

The noise was deafening, and it was so loud that people standing nearby couldn’t hear each other speak.

“Boss, Goddess Luo is inviting you on stage to sing a love song with her,” Cao Jianhui shouted at the top of his lungs, pushing Luo Ziling along with Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang, “Hurry up, or we’ll beat you to death if you dawdle any longer!”

After Luo Ziling’s name was announced, many eyes turned in their direction.

Some busybodies even started chanting Luo Ziling’s name, and the calls quickly became synchronized.

Luo Ziling really wanted to rush up and throw Luo Yuqing down on the ground–to spank her fiercely.

That woman, fearing the world might not be chaotic enough, actually invited him on stage to sing in front of so many students.

But he was now in a situation as precarious as riding a tiger and, ultimately, had to steel himself and go on stage.

Instead of using the backstage entrance, he quickly walked to the front of the stage, rapidly stepped off the stage wall, and jumped directly onto it.

His unintended display of athleticism won cheers from the audience.

Numerous young girls squealed, “Luo Ziling, I love you!”

Soon, this chant too became unified and the crisp female voices echoed high and clear throughout the auditorium, “Luo Ziling, I love you!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziling, who had just jumped on stage, nearly went weak at the knees and almost knelt down in the middle of the stage.

“Senior sister, you’re killing me,” Luo Ziling complained with a pained expression as he approached Luo Yuqing, “You can’t surprise attack me like this!”

“It’s okay, it’ll definitely be a song you know how to sing,” Luo Yuqing said with a beaming smile. After putting down the microphone, she said loudly to Luo Ziling, “You choose then, what do you want to sing? You better not tell me you can’t sing.”

“I really don’t think I can sing pop songs.”

“Then let’s sing a segment from the Shaoxing opera Butterfly Lovers, ‘Eighteen Farewells.’ How about that?”

“You know how to sing Shaoxing opera?” Luo Ziling was surprised.

“What’s so strange about that? My mom likes Shaoxing opera, I’ve listened to it a lot since I was a child and naturally learned how to sing,” Luo Yuqing said nonchalantly, then immediately let slip a secret, “Actually, my mom started liking Shaoxing opera because of your dad.”

Luo Ziling was speechless.

The two stood on stage and talked privately for a while, but he couldn’t continue to converse in private with Luo Yuqing in front of all the cheering students, so he agreed.

As a staff member handed him a wireless microphone, Luo Yuqing had already picked up her microphone and announced to everyone that she was going to sing a segment from the Shaoxing opera “Eighteen Farewells” with Luo Ziling.

Instantly, the crowd quieted down a bit before screams and cheers erupted once more.

After a short wait, the music began.

“In front of the study’s door blooms a plum, birds on the tree pair off…” Luo Yuqing started singing first.

It was the first time Luo Ziling had heard her sing Shaoxing opera.

Luo Yuqing’s performance was passable, but it wasn’t very polished; it looked like she didn’t practice much.

“As two brothers leave the house, a pair of magpies meets them at the door. Always the magpies bring good news, congratulations, brother, may you return home safely…” Luo Ziling’s singing was much more skilled than Luo Yuqing’s. Some in the audience were familiar with Shaoxing opera, and they gave Luo Ziling a warm round of applause as soon as he began.

However, Luo Ziling felt pretty awkward; the meaning behind “Eighteen Farewells” was clear to everyone.

Singing this song with Luo Yuqing conveyed a particular message to the students and the teachers, essentially one of romantic intent.

But being coerced by Luo Yuqing into doing this, Luo Ziling had no choice but to settle accounts afterward.

He knew that Luo Yuqing had absolutely nothing to worry about.

After all, she had already told him face to face that if they weren’t siblings, she would have pursued him openly.

Was this also considered a way of pursuit?

If they ended up being siblings, it would be even more straightforward to say that she was practicing Shaoxing opera with her own brother, and there would be no issue at all.

No matter what, she was in a position to both attack and defend, and she would not be defeated regardless of the outcome.

After finishing the song, Luo Ziling was dripping with sweat, while Luo Yuqing showed no sign of distress.

At the end of the performance, she even took the initiative to hold Luo Ziling’s hand and bow to the audience.

“Today, I am truly delighted to have had the honor of singing a Shaoxing opera with Yan University’s new heartthrob, my ‘lil bro’,” Luo Yuqing generously told the crowd, “Initially, I didn’t want to perform today, but for our adorable lil bro, I took the plunge. I hope everyone will remember today’s scene of us singing Shaoxing opera together and that everyone will wish us well.”

Luo Yuqing’s words were cleverly put; she referred to Luo Ziling as her ‘lil bro,’ but didn’t explicitly state their sibling relationship, leaving herself room to maneuver. She invited good wishes from everyone, and either a romantic or a sibling relationship would accept those blessings.

Of course, Luo Ziling could read between the lines of Luo Yuqing’s speech and felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

However, he didn’t say anything publicly, just gave a salute to the audience and hurriedly left the stage.

Yang Qingyin, who was waiting backstage, saw the two of them sing Shaoxing opera together, and of course, felt uncomfortable.

But after hearing what Luo Yuqing said later, she felt a bit relieved.

Luo Yuqing still seemed quite adamant that she was Luo Ziling’s sister; otherwise, she wouldn’t have publicly called Luo Ziling her ‘lil bro.’

If Luo Yuqing wanted to make it seem like they were in a romantic relationship, she probably wouldn’t call herself a sister and treat Luo Ziling as her brother.

But Yang Qingyin had to admit, if Luo Yuqing was not Luo Ziling’s sister, Luo Yuqing would become her most formidable rival.

Ouyang Huihui saw things differently and naturally assumed that Luo Yuqing wanted to pursue Luo Ziling, daring to do such a thing in public.

She was instantly consumed by jealousy.

She too was pondering what kind of move she should make during her performance later, to publicly demonstrate her own intentions.

And she quickly came up with an idea.
