The man on the other end of the line paused for a mont, "Who are you?"
Bian Xiaohong also paused, realizing the man might have "accidentally" deleted her number and didn’t recognize it, but fortunately, she wasn’t on his blacklist.
She quickly spoke in a sweet, innocent voice, "Fifth Master, it’s , Xiao Hong, whom you sponsored. Have you forgotten ?"
The man on the other end seed a bit nervous, muttering sothing unclear, then as if he walked away quickly before coughing and speaking normally again, "Oh, it’s Xiao Hong. Sorry, I didn’t recognize your voice just now."
"Fifth Master, it’s okay. I know you’re busy, so I wouldn’t dare to disturb you easily. But this ti, it’s really important," Bian Xiaohong explained sensibly, "You said you wanted to study hard and win honors for the school. I’ve really been working hard. Tomorrow is the military training performance, and I want you to see that I haven’t let you down. I want to win a crown for you..."
Her words were gentle and earnest, enough to soften any man’s heart.
Nangong Yu took a deep breath on the phone, but he replied, "Hey, you just keep studying hard. It doesn’t matter if I go or not. There’s a family gathering tomorrow, but I’ll be cheering for you from afar, girl."
That "girl" made one’s heart itch, but Bian Xiaohong did feel a bit disappointed inside, "Is that so..."
This noble man was her trump card, ready to create a sensation tomorrow, especially to suppress Zuzi. How could he not co?
"Fifth Master, but tomorrow’s award ceremony requires a parent to go on stage. I’m alone, without parents. My classmates will definitely laugh at , sob..." She started to sob softly.
The man eventually gave in to the girl’s tears.
"All right, don’t cry. I can’t stand won crying. I’ll co tomorrow, okay? But I can’t stay the whole ti. I’ll end the family gathering early and make sure I’m there for your award. I’ll support you on stage so no one can laugh at you, okay?"
"Okay! Fifth Master, you promise not to lie to ?"
"I, Nangong Yu, keep my word... wait, sothing’s co up on my end..."
"Fifth Master, have I made your girlfriend upset? Should I apologize to her and ask her not to take it the wrong way?"
"No, no, my girlfriend is understanding and kind-hearted."
"I envy her. I wish I could et a good man like you in the future, Fifth Master..."
Bian Xiaohong chatted sweetly for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Thinking of tomorrow’s performance, when she’ll receive the highest scholarship and the Crown dal, accompanied by a handso and noble gentleman, completely overshadowing the arrogant Zuzi... she couldn’t help but feel increasingly excited.
No matter how haughty Zuzi is, she can’t have the crown and a quality man, haha.
After ending the call, she squeezed back into the crowd, continuing to embrace the curious gossip and abundant envy from her classmates, casually showing off from ti to ti:
"Actually, that coffin contained the Pangu Axe. I guessed it long ago."
"The Bronze Bird is Golden Crow, I saw it too, with three legs."
"And the Fusang Tree, of course, I recognized it at a glance."
"I reminded the professor long ago to test the age of the Pangu Axe..."
＝＝
Nothing much happened overnight.
Early the next morning, during roll call, Bian Xiaohong unexpectedly discovered, "Zuzi didn’t co again? Today’s the performance day, and she’s skipping?!"
The opportunity she considered so precious, and Zuzi didn’t even co??
So who would she overshadow? What would she take pleasure in?
