Chapter 133 Zhai Xingchen is playing tricks again
The next day's evening party was held as scheduled, and the whole venue was filled with a warm atmosphere. Lu Qingxi stood backstage, wearing a simple school uniform, but exuding a unique brilliance. Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she was ready to bring everyone a wonderful performance.
Helian Che stood quietly in a corner of the backstage, his eyes always focused on Lu Qingxi. The light in his eyes flickered, as if telling of his deep affection for Lu Qingxi. He knew that no matter what happened, he would always be by her side.
Xiao Xu was on one side of the stage. He tried hard to look down, trying to find the eyes that fascinated him at the banquet that day.
Zhai Xingchen and Chu Ye came to the party together. They saw that there was an empty seat behind Xiao Lan, so they chose to sit behind her. They quietly waited for Lu Qingxi's performance, full of anticipation, wanting to see Lu Qingxi make a fool of herself.
Not long after, Feng Muyang also appeared. He saw that there was a seat to Xiao Lan's left, so he politely asked if he could sit down. Xiao Lan had gotten used to this boy chasing after her since the class division, and seeing that Qingqing was about to start her performance, she nodded, tacitly agreeing. Feng Muyang smiled and sat down immediately.
As the stage lights came on again, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Qingxi. She began her performance, and the flowing music instantly captured everyone's hearts. Her performance was skillful and emotional, and every note seemed to be infused with her soul.
Everyone's eyes flashed with surprise, even Feng Muyang retracted his peripheral vision and focused on the girl playing music on the stage. He also felt a little admiration in his heart, he had to admit that Lu Qingxi was so dazzling at this moment.
When Lu Qingxi finished her song, the audience was still not satisfied. Ten seconds later, thunderous applause broke out, which lasted for a full minute. This was the best affirmation of Lu Qingxi's performance and the best praise for her talent.
Xiao Lan turned her head to look at Feng Muyang, whose eyes were still fixed on Lu Qingxi. The concentration made Xiao Lan's doubts grow stronger. She finally couldn't help but ask, "Feng Muyang, why do you like me?"
Feng Muyang's mind seemed to be still immersed in Lu Qingxi's performance. He answered without thinking, "Because you saved me."
This sentence made Xiao Lan stunned for a moment, and the scene of Lu Qingxi and her sending someone to the hospital flashed in her mind. She recalled the situation that day, and it turned out that the person Feng Muyang was talking about who "saved him" was actually Lu Qingxi.
Xiao Lan turned to look at Feng Muyang, whose eyes were still fixed on Lu Qingxi, as if he hadn't noticed her presence. An inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, not disappointment but a bit of sarcasm. She smiled, with a hint of malice in that smile.
After Lu Qingxi left, Xiao Lan prepared to go find her. She turned to Feng Muyang and said, "Stay away from me from now on." Her tone was full of determination and indifference.
After saying this, Xiao Lan turned and left. Feng Muyang seemed to come back to his senses at this time. He looked at Xiao Lan's departing back, and a trace of confusion and puzzlement flashed in his eyes. He didn't seem to understand why Xiao Lan suddenly said such a thing, nor did he realize that he paid too much attention to Lu Qingxi.
Zhai Xingchen and Chu Ye sat side by side at the back of the audience, both of them were immersed in Lu Qingxi's dreamlike performance, the lingering sound was intoxicating. However, a slight conversation broke the quiet atmosphere and brought their attention back to reality.
"I didn't expect that this is the reason why Feng Muyang likes Xiao Lan." Zhai Xingchen whispered, with a hint of surprise in his voice. They didn't expect that Feng Muyang and Xiao Lan actually had this kind of entanglement.
Chu Ye nodded silently, his eyes unconsciously turned to the stage, as if he was recalling the grace of Lu Qingxi's performance. However, he didn't say much, just sighed softly, and then left the audience silently. He regretted that he couldn't embarrass Lu Qingxi this time, but he also admired Lu Qingxi's performance.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Chu Ye's departing back, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He turned his head to look at Feng Muyang in front of him, only to see that Feng Muyang was immersed in his own thoughts and did not seem to notice their conversation.
After Xiao Lan left, Zhai Xingchen finally spoke. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate Feng Muyang's heart: "If Lu Qingxi was with Xiao Lan, you would never be able to get close to her."
When Feng Muyang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhai Xingchen in surprise. There was a hint of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, and he obviously did not expect Zhai Xingchen to say such a thing.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, including confusion about Zhai Xingchen's words and thoughts about the relationship between Xiao Lan and Lu Qingxi. He began to realize that his feelings for Xiao Lan might not be as pure as he thought, and Lu Qingxi's role in it also confused him.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Feng Muyang's reaction and knew that he had revealed his thoughts. He did not continue to talk about it, but just sat there quietly, letting Feng Muyang think and understand it himself.
Ten days later, another monthly exam was held. The next day at noon, the results were released again, and Chu Rouxuan's score remained at 74 points, of course, she did it on purpose. Three minutes after the results were announced, Chu Ye's phone rang again. It was Chu's father's unquestionable voice, asking him to take Chu Rouxuan home tonight.
However, Chu Ye did not act according to his father's wishes. He chose to face the pressure of the family alone. When he returned to the Chu family, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and his father's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip out. Seeing Chu Ye coming back alone, Chu's father's anger was instantly ignited. He ordered his men to fetch the family law and made Chu Ye kneel in the middle of the hall.
The whip drew cold arcs in the air and landed fiercely on Chu Ye. Each blow was accompanied by a muffled groan from Chu Ye, and his back was soon torn to pieces. Father Chu did not seem satisfied, and he continued to swing the whip vigorously until he felt that his arms were powerless.
Chu Ye gritted his teeth and made no sound of begging for mercy. He asked the family doctor to bandage his wounds briefly, and then changed into a black shirt. The bloodstains on the shirt were faintly visible, as if telling of the pain he had just experienced.
He did not stay at home for too long, but drove his red sports car towards the bar. The lights of the bar flickered in the night, as if it was a safe haven to escape from reality. Chu Ye walked into the bar, and was instantly surrounded by loud music and noisy crowds. He found a seat in a corner, sat down, ordered a glass of strong liquor, and began to use alcohol to numb his nerves.
