194: Chapter 194 Shen Qingyue

Xiao Ran simply made up a clumsy excuse, the kind even a primary schooler wouldn't believe:

"That day! I had diarrhea, and my phone fell into the pit! By the time I fished it out, it was already broken!"

For him, whether they believed it or not didn't matter.

It was enough that he had an explanation!

"By the time I came out, the audience had already flooded out, and I really couldn't squeeze through!"

"Then I found Xiao Ran. I knew his capabilities, so I begged him to come with me to save A Qing, but he wouldn't let me in and rushed in by himself!"

"You know what happened next!"

Xiao Ran bit his lip tightly, revealing the "truth" of that day.

"What!" Murong Qing exclaimed in surprise.

All of this was too outrageous!

Half-truths and half-lies, they basically already believed him!

If not, they could always find a chance to ask Xiao Ran to confirm!

"Li Feiyu! Then why didn't you come find me?!" Murong Qing demanded.

Xiao Ran shook his head: "Murong Qing, I know that after that day, you won't trust me, so there's no need for me to shamelessly beg for your forgiveness. Let's break up and go our separate ways."

Murong Qing remained silent.

He was right; ever since that incident, her prejudice against Li Feiyu had grown to an unbearable extent.

Murong Lan's eyes were red, and she asked coldly, "But what do you mean by coming here today? Did you specifically come to humiliate A Qing?"

Xiao Ran rubbed his forehead.

A Lan!

Why are you jumping out again!

Isn't your heart hurting enough?

"Murong Lan! How dare you speak?" Xiao Ran retorted, a look of disdain on his face: "Look at what you two have done to Xiao Ran!"

"He kindly saved you! But what did you two ungrateful wretches do?"

"Do you know the pain in his heart? Do you know how desperate he was when you wronged him?"

"Do you know how helpless he was when your family beat him into the hospital?"

Xiao Ran strained his neck, his forehead slightly bulging, his eyes flashing with anger.

The Sisters were scolded severely, lowering their heads and sobbing softly.

"Fei Yu... don't get so agitated..." Zhang Wenxue quickly tugged at his sleeve.

Judging by their conversation, why did it sound like they had a deep-seated hatred for each other?

It involved emotional entanglements, saving people, injuries, and even cancer!

It sounded like the script for a melodrama!

Xiao Ran turned his head and patted her hand: "Wenxue, I'm fine."

However, he seemed to have overacted just now.

Although he had a bit of a suspicion of forcefully manipulating them.

But seeing the Sisters' mortified expressions, the sense of satisfaction in his heart was quite comfortable.

Xiao Ran looked at Murong Qing once more: "A Qing! Look up!"

Under this barrage, Murong Qing didn't know how to face him: "Fei Yu... I..."

But, it was clearly Li Feiyu who abandoned her... In the end, how did it seem like she was the one at fault... "A Qing, do you know why I came to participate in this competition?" Xiao Ran asked softly.

Murong Qing's eyes were misty: "Why?"

"Because I promised you that I would defeat the person who bullied you and help you win the championship!"

Xiao Ran's words were gentle, making her feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Fei Yu... I..."

As Murong Qing was moved and wanted to say more, Xiao Ran mercilessly interrupted her:

"Murong Qing, it's almost time, you should rest well."

"Wenxue, move aside!"

"Oh~~!" Zhang Wenxue rolled her eyes and stood up.

A fake girlfriend has no human rights!

She had to do whatever he told her to do!

After they had switched places.

Murong Qing felt a bit lost, her gaze fixed intently on 'Li Feiyu's' profile.

For some reason, Zhang Wenxue suddenly felt an urge to block her view and asked with concern: "Miss Murong, are you alright?"

Murong Qing shook her head and forced a faint smile: "Miss Zhang, I'm fine, thank you!"

She felt a bit bitter inside.

In the end, she still needed to be comforted by her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend.

"Dong~~ Dong~~ Dong~"

Suddenly, a few piano notes rang out in the concert hall.

The competition had begun!

The host took the stage: "Esteemed..."

"Next, please enjoy the performance by contestant Shen Qingyue from Yangcheng. Let's give her a warm round of applause!"

Xiao Ran, who was lost in thought, immediately sobered up upon hearing that name.

"Did I hear that right? Shen Qingyue?"

"Clap clap clap clap~~~" A burst of applause erupted.

The hall suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight focused on the entrance to the stage.

A beautiful young girl, with flowing dark hair like willow branches, dressed in a green gown.

Her eyes were lively, her eyebrows long and graceful, and her smile was like a blooming flower.

"Holy moly! It really is her!" Xiao Ran grabbed a handful of his hair in surprise.

"Li Feiyu! Why are you pulling my hair!"

"Cough cough! My hand slipped!"

The girl on stage bowed and spoke with a smile:

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Qingyue from Yangcheng. Next, please enjoy 'Moonlight Sonata' that I will perform for you."

Her voice was soft and gentle, like cotton.

"Clap clap clap~"

After the applause, Shen Qingyue sat down at the piano in the center of the stage.

The hall fell silent.

♫ Dong dong~~ ♫

Her fingertips moved slightly, and the piano music began.

The notes danced, making one's ears pregnant.

Murong Qing, who was sad on the side, her eyes slightly narrowed, immediately sat up straight, as if facing a formidable enemy.

This girl's skill was enough to compete with her!

Even her composition was of first-class quality!

She couldn't sit still anymore; she had to discuss it with Li Feiyu, so she looked at Zhang Wenxue beside her: "Miss Zhang, could we switch seats?"

Zhang Wenxue: "???"

Why was everyone trying to switch seats with her?!

"I apologize for the trouble, I need to discuss something with Li Feiyu." Murong Qing's attitude was very good.

Although Zhang Wenxue was reluctant, she still stood up and switched places with her.

She was supposed to be Li Feiyu's girlfriend, but why did she feel like she was the extra one?

Murong Qing got her wish and sat next to him, forcing herself to start a conversation: "Fei Yu, this girl is quite impressive! What do you think?"

Xiao Ran propped his head with his right hand and said calmly: "I'm watching while sitting."

"Fei Yu..." Murong Qing's expression was resentful, and she hesitated to speak.

Xiao Ran glanced at her and said casually: "No big deal, it's a piece of cake."

"..."

A few minutes later.

The piano music ended, its echoes lingering.

Out of five judges, three gave 9.5 points, and two gave 9 points.

Such a high score at the beginning almost secured a spot in the top five.

This put double the pressure on the subsequent contestants.

After her performance, Shen Qingyue stood up.

Her pretty face showed a hint of regret, yet her eyes held a smile, and she said softly:

"This piece was given to me by my boyfriend! But... he's gone missing!"

Multiple live broadcast cameras were aimed at her.

"Brother Ye Chen, Qing Yue misses you! I hope you can hear this piece! Qing Yue is waiting for you! And will keep waiting for you! Forever!"

Tears sparkled in her smile, and her words were filled with tender affection.

At this moment, the audience below the stage were all cursing the person named Ye Chen in their hearts.

What kind of brain-damaged talent would abandon such a delicate beauty and disappear?

"Ah-choo~~"
