“Damn it!! It must have been that bitch’s doing!!”

Liu Menglou looked at the two pieces of classical clothing that had been nearly torn to shreds before him, grinding his teeth in rage.

These two classical garments were prepared for Zi Qing and Liu Wentian; they were fine just before, stored here, but now they’re reduced to rags—there’s no way to wear them anymore.

Both Zi Qing and Liu Wentian’s expressions looked somewhat unsightly.

Without guessing, it was definitely Fan Yiting’s doing, but again there was no evidence, and going to find her now would be pointless!!

“We’re done for!! This time we’re truly screwed!! There’s no time to find new clothes now!!”

Liu Menglou looked at Zi Qing’s school uniform and Liu Wentian’s somewhat faded jeans and T-shirt and became dejected; going on stage dressed like this, especially to perform “The Butterfly Lovers,” was a loss from the get-go!!

A tinge of sadness was visible in Zi Qing’s eyes as well. She had been looking forward to wearing ancient costumes with Liu Wentian, singing while he played the piano, and presenting “The Butterfly Lovers” together.

She hadn’t been expecting Liu Wentian to play amazingly well on the piano, nor had she thought about competing for any ranking. Winning or losing was not important to her; she just wanted to perform this beautiful piece of music with Liu Wentian in front of everyone.

It was her girlish sentiment, to create a beautiful memory with the person she liked, but now it had been ruined.

Seeing Zi Qing’s lost look, Liu Wentian also felt a surge of annoyance. He didn’t have much interest in competing to win or lose, but now, since the other side wanted to play, he was ready to give them a real game!!

“Qingqing, don’t worry, even without these two sets of costumes, it won’t affect us. We’re here to perform music, not a fashion show. As long as our music touches the heart, what we wear doesn’t matter,” Liu Wentian comforted her, saying.

Zi Qing nodded, but the look of desolation remained on her face. Although what Liu Wentian said wasn’t wrong, humans are visual creatures after all. How a person dresses can have a huge impact on the performance.

Otherwise, those big stars wouldn’t always wear eye-catching and unique costumes at their concerts.

……

On stage.

It was Fan Yiting’s turn to perform.

She played a famous guqin piece “Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank.”

At this moment, she sat before the ancient guqin, her turns and flows delicate and smooth, the continuous guqin music flowing from her fingers. Although the students below didn’t understand, they still wore faces full of admiration. To them, being able to play the guitar was already impressive, let alone the ancient guqin.

As she finished her performance, the thousands of students below all started to clap.

At this moment, Fan Yiting seemed to have put on a layer of classical brilliance in the eyes of these students, becoming more beautiful and captivating.

Many boys and girls were shouting “Guqin Fairy,” waving their glow sticks vigorously, their excitement palpable.

In the judges’ seats.

The 60-something Principal Liang smiled and said to Qin Qihuang beside him, “Qihuang, this student of yours is really something. She’ll probably become a leading figure in the world of guqin music.”

“Principal Liang, you flatter her too much. She’s not as great as you say,” Qin Qihuang replied with a slight smile.

“Ha ha!! You, always so humble, even your students have to follow suit. There’s nothing wrong with being a bit proud when it’s deserved.”

Qin Qihuang chuckled lightly and didn’t say more. She wasn’t being modest; she genuinely felt that Fan Yiting’s performance wasn’t very good and was even dissatisfied, but of course, on the occasion of the school’s anniversary celebration, it was fine to take first place.

After Fan Yiting finished performing on stage, she didn’t leave directly but instead picked up the microphone and, smiling toward the audience, asked, “Good evening, everyone. Did you enjoy my performance just now??”

Her face bore a hint of shyness, seemingly embarrassed to ask such a question.

“Yes!! It was so good!!”

“Tingting, you’re my goddess. In my heart, you’re more beautiful than the three campus belles!!”@@novelbin@@

“Exactly!! Tingting, you’re the most talented and beautiful. I think you totally deserve to be one of the campus belles!!”

“Fan Yiting, tonight’s championship is destined to be yours!!”

“…”

Hearing Fan Yiting’s words, the audience immediately responded loudly, and their words made Fan Yiting smile, a look of pride shining in her eyes.

“Thank you all so much for liking my guqin music!!” Fan Yiting bowed to the audience, her eyes even glistening with tears, and said with a bitter smile, “I might as well tell everyone that I was really nervous just now. Because I made a bet with the campus belle and little fairy Zi Qing—if my ranking today is lower than hers, from now on, whenever I see her sister Liu Menglou, I have to call her ’grandma.’ Moreover, her boyfriend even said that my guqin playing was very… very crappy, saying that if they went on stage in their everyday clothes and casually performed ’The Butterfly Lovers,’ they could beat me. Zi Qing’s boyfriend is also going to play the piano, and he said he wants to use my own forte to prove I’m a piece of… crap!!”

Having said this, her eyes reddened as if she had endured too many grievances.

In an instant, everyone’s expressions changed.

Backstage.

The faces of Liu Wentian and his companions turned ugly.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by .

“Argh!! That damn bitch, twisting the truth like this, I’ll go up there and beat the crap out of her!!”

Liu Menglou was gritting her teeth and was just about to storm out, but Zi Qing quickly grabbed her, “Mengmeng, calm down, if you rush up now, it will only make things worse.”

Liu Menglou just plopped down on the floor, “It’s really over now. The two of you go on stage, and it’s hard to say whether the audience will let you perform properly!!”

Liu Wentian also had a dark look on his face, his eyes flashing coldly.

Meanwhile, in the audience.

The place had erupted into chaos, with many believing Fan Yiting’s words because she genuinely seemed to be in a great deal of distress.

“Do little fairies really think being the school beauty is such a big deal?? What kind of school beauty is this, all hyped up by those smelly boys, I’m all for Tingting anyway, they’re really too bullying!!”

“CO!! Who’s Zi Qing’s boyfriend, huh?? So arrogant, even dares to call someone else trash, isn’t he the trash himself?? If he’s so capable, let him play the guqin as well as Fan Yiting!! Fan Yiting has won the national youth guqin competition, what is he compared to that!!”

“These days, bragging doesn’t cost a thing, just plucking a few strings to beat Fan Yiting, does he think he’s Qin Qihuang or what!!”

“Damn!! Don’t compare that kind of person to my goddess!!”

“Calm down first, maybe there’s some misunderstanding here, Zi Qing is from our class, I feel like she’s a good person, probably wouldn’t make this kind of bet with Fan Yiting.”

“…”

At the judges’ table.

Principal Liang’s face wasn’t looking too good either, forced a smile and said to Qin Qihuang, “Qihuang, there might be some misunderstanding here, I know that Zi Qing, she doesn’t seem like a troublemaker.”

Zi Qing was recommended by Bai Ruguo, naturally Principal Liang paid more attention, felt that Zi Qing was ambitious and polite, unlikely to do what Fan Yiting claimed.

“Hopefully.”

Qin Qihuang replied indifferently, but her gaze was particularly icy, clearly a bit angry too.

At that moment, Fan Yiting stepped down, and Liu Wentian and Zi Qing were next to go on stage after Fan Yiting, the three brushed past each other, Fan Yiting giving them a victorious smile.

With today’s incident, Zi Qing’s reputation was definitely ruined, and her little fairy act wouldn’t hold anymore, maybe she, “The Guqin Fairy” Fan Yiting, would become the new school beauty, the real fairy!!

When Zi Qing, in her school uniform, and Liu Wentian, in his faded jeans and T-shirt, appeared on the stage, the audience once again exploded, even more intense than before.

Among those seated, there were many who had doubted Fan Yiting’s words, but now, seeing the two of them really come on stage in casual clothes, immediately believed everything Fan Yiting said.

Instantly, the audience began shouting loudly.

“So arrogant, they didn’t even change clothes, get off the stage!! We don’t want to see your performance anymore!!”

“To hell with ’Butterfly Lovers’, I don’t want to listen, get off the stage!!”

“Hmph!! What little fairy is Zi Qing, so arrogant, she doesn’t deserve the title of fairy, Fan Yiting is the real fairy!!”

“…”

All sorts of curses were non-stop, and at the judges’ table, Principal Liang’s face also looked quite bad.

Seeing Qin Qihuang’s cold expression, Principal Liang gave an awkward smile and said, “Qihuang, there must be some misunderstanding here, don’t be angry, I’ll go ask what exactly happened after this.”

Qin Qihuang shook her head, coldly said, “Principal Liang, no need to ask. I want to see how impressive this boy is, casually playing to beat my student!!”

On stage.

The female host saw the audience making too much noise for the performance to proceed, quickly took the microphone and loudly said, “Everyone please quiet down, let’s all just calm down for a moment!! Perhaps there’s a deeper meaning to Zi Qing and her friends dressing like this on stage?? Let’s first ask what they have to say, okay??”

Hearing this, the students in the audience quieted down, each staring at Zi Qing and Liu Wentian with unfriendly expressions, waiting for their response.

The host passed the microphone to Zi Qing, who took it, but didn’t know what to say.

It was her first time performing in front of so many people, thousands of eyes fixated on her, she was already extremely nervous, and on top of that, this incident happened, her little face turning a bit purple.

She wanted to explain, even wanted to tell everyone that they didn’t wear their performance clothes because those two sets were damaged, and the one who likely sabotaged the clothes was Fan Yiting.

But now, the students all saw them as villains, if she said that, it would probably only be seen as her slandering Fan Yiting, especially since she had no evidence at all.

Fan Yiting, backstage, watching Zi Qing struggling, curled her lips in pride thinking to herself.

She believed that her performance on stage just now was perfect, and by now, the audience had already seen her as the victim. Under these circumstances, no matter what Zi Qing said, it would only make things worse.

Unless she could produce some evidence, or act as wronged as Fan Yiting did, shedding some tears might even work.

But clearly, Zi Qing had no idea about any of this, she was already turning pale with tension on stage, but she bit her lip, her eyes showing a trace of stubbornness.

Idiotic Zi Qing, such a waste of a face that could earn sympathy!! Fan Yiting snickered inwardly.

Tonight, she didn’t just want to win, but also wanted to fiercely crush her opponent, tarnishing their reputation beyond recovery!!

People below saw Zi Qing holding the microphone in silence, starting to get impatient, especially the girls. Most of them had a schadenfreude look, jealous of how Zi Qing was praised by a bunch of boys all the time.

“Why aren’t you speaking?? Can’t think of any excuse to explain yourself??”

“Hmph!! Realized you regret it now, haven’t you?? Too late!! Just get off the stage now!!”

“Stop being so arrogant from now on, think you’re something special just because you’re pretty??”

“…”

The crowd started making noise again, Zi Qing felt like a helpless bunny surrounded by wolves, her complexion turning ashen, her palms ice-cold.

Subconsciously, she looked towards Liu Wentian, her voice filled with grievance, “Brother Tian…”

“It’s okay. Give me the microphone.”

Liu Wentian smiled at her, took the microphone, then turned to the audience smiling, “I won’t explain anything, there’s no need to explain anything. She simply plays like crap, that’s a fact, why can’t people say it??”

Gasp!!

The concert hall went silent, even the host, who had maintained a smile from the start, now had her smile frozen on her face!!
