Lin Zhi’s performance happened to be the last one.
After the performance, she saw two people co up on stage to move her ancient zither down.
The person helping with the zither was none other than Wu ngng.
Because there was an electric wire lying across the stage.
Wu ngng didn’t see it clearly and almost tripped.
The zither almost fell to the ground too.
But fortunately, she caught it with all her might.
Lin Zhi was quite startled.
She quickly went over: "Can you be a little more careful? This zither of mine is worth a lot; you couldn’t pay for it even if I sold you."
"S-sorry."
Wu ngng quickly apologized.
A lot of people’s attention was drawn to the noise on the stage.
Including the ntors below the stage.
Lin Zhi imdiately noticed her inappropriate behavior.
She quickly went over, her tone much softer, holding Wu ngng’s arm: "Are you okay? You’re so clumsy, what if you get hurt?"
Wu ngng looked up, appearing sowhat timid: "I’m fine."
Lu Yinxing was actually near the stage.
She quickly went up.
She had just noticed Wu ngng twist her foot.
Lu Yinxing walked over to Wu ngng: "Is your foot really okay? Let take a look."
Wu ngng quickly said: "I’m really fine."
Lu Yinxing still insisted.
In the end, even the teacher ca over and asked her to take off her socks for a check.
Wu ngng had no choice but to take off her shoes and socks.
Lu Yinxing is a dical expert, everyone at the school knows.
Wu ngng’s ankle was already swollen.
Lu Yinxing felt the bones and there were no major issues.
Lu Yinxing said: "The bones weren’t injured. For now, apply cold compresses, and after 24 hours, use hot compresses. Just rest well for two days, and you’ll be fine."
Wu ngng carefully put her socks back on.
She’s always used to being inconspicuous, but suddenly having so much attention made her very uncomfortable.
She just kept her head down in silence.
As Lu Yinxing finished tidying up, she was about to leave.
Lin Zhi suddenly chased after her.
"Wait a mont," Lin Zhi spoke.
Lu Yinxing stopped in her tracks and turned around: "Is there sothing you need?"
"I’m thanking you on behalf of ngng."
Lu Yinxing was taken aback: "She already thanked just now, why are you thanking on her behalf?"
Lin Zhi’s expression changed slightly.
"You seem not to like very much."
Lu Yinxing looked even more puzzled.
She wasn’t familiar with her, so how could she talk about likes or dislikes?
Lu Yinxing said: "No."
Lin Zhi spoke: "Is it because of your brother? If it’s because of your brother, I can assure you, even if I am your brother’s girlfriend, I won’t take away his affection for you. These are two different types of affection, so you don’t have to treat as if I’m an enemy."
Lu Yinxing, for so reason, just felt like laughing upon hearing Lin Zhi’s words.
Lu Yinxing said: "Lin, you’re overthinking. I don’t ddle in my brother’s love life. If he truly likes you, I’ll give you both my blessing. However, if my brother doesn’t like you, there’s no use trying indirect tactics or using as a ans. I’ve seen too many of these approaches since I was young."
Lu Yinxing almost saw through Lin Zhi now.
Lin Zhi was like those who wanted to get close to Xia Ye.
Unable to directly conquer Xia Ye, they try to start by dealing with her.
But these attempts are futile.
However, Lu Yinxing still had so doubts.
It’s about the rumors in the woods.
Thinking about it made Lu Yinxing a bit agitated.
But to ask about such things directly would make it seem like she cared too much.
Lu Yinxing said: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."
After speaking, Lu Yinxing left.
Lin Zhi watched Lu Yinxing’s departing figure and clutched her fingers.
This Lu Yinxing, clearly considered useless by Class 13, could see through her at a glance.
Originally, she planned to start with her.
Now it seems it’s not feasible.
As she turned, she saw Wu ngng timidly preparing to leave with her backpack.
Lin Zhi stared at Wu ngng for a mont and then walked over.
"ngng, you seem quite familiar with Lu Yinxing?"
Wu ngng lowered her head.
If it weren’t for Lu Yinxing’s help during the last gathering.
Things might have turned out differently.
Wu ngng was very grateful to Lu Yinxing.
But speaking of familiarity, it wasn’t so.
Wu ngng’s voice was weak: "Not really."
Lin Zhi said: "Don’t lie to . I can see it. She specifically spoke to you in the room last ti. Not bad, I didn’t expect you to have connections with such a rich kid."
Lin Zhi’s words carried a hint of sarcasm.
Yet Wu ngng remained in the sa posture, head down, denying: "Really not."
Seeing Wu ngng’s feeble and helpless deanor, Lin Zhi felt a burst of irritation.
Lin Zhi said: "Weren’t you in urgent need of money before? I’ll introduce you to a job with good pay. Do you want it?"
At this, Wu ngng suddenly lifted her head: "What kind of job?"
Lin Zhi scoffed: "But let say upfront, while the money is good, the job isn’t very tasteful. Besides, the school doesn’t allow students to work. If you’re caught or sothing goes wrong, don’t bla . Decide for yourself whether to go; it’s up to you."
Wu ngng pondered for a mont and, without even asking what kind of job it was.
Simply said yes.
As long as it made money, she had to do it.
Because she urgently needed money now.
But because she was a student and underage, she couldn’t find a job outside.
Lin Zhi threw a business card to Wu ngng: "Here’s the business card of the manager of Emperor Bar. Just contact him directly. The owner of Emperor is friends with my mom. I’ve already spoken to the manager about it. You’re just responsible for selling alcohol, with high commissions."
Wu ngng said: "A bar? If the school finds out, I’d be expelled."
The school has explicitly stated that students are not allowed to enter such establishnts.
Let alone going there to sell alcohol.
Lin Zhi said: "So, I said whether to go is your business. Think carefully."
Wu ngng nodded: "Thank you."
Lin Zhi glanced at her and left.
The programs that passed the preliminary rounds have already been announced by the school.
The program arrangents have also been put up.
Before school ended on Friday, it was published on the campus website.
Upon seeing Lu Yinxing’s performance program, with Xia Ye as the guest perforr.
The campus forum instantly exploded.
"Oh my god, Xia Ye, the school genius, will participate in Campus Voice, and will play the piano, I’m so excited."
"Xia Ye playing the piano must look like a prince from a fairy tale."
"I have to vote for Xia Ye, can’t wait, can’t wait."
"Xia Ye is really a good brother. He never participated in performance programs before, but this ti he’s a guest perforr for his sister, really showing his care. Lu Yinxing must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have such a brother."
The thousands of comnts on the forum are mostly about Xia Ye.
Lu Yinxing knew it would turn out this way.
Xia Ye has a very cold personality.
But for so reason, this icy deanor turns into abstinence and mystery in the eyes of others.
Everyone sees him as soone standing on the altar, so when he occasionally cos down to earth, it drives everyone crazy.
As expected, the most ordinary singing program by Lu Yinxing has beco the favorite to win.
Of course, there are still a lot of negative voices.
So people think this isn’t about skill but popularity.
It’s unfair to other talented students.
But such voices are quickly drowned out by the mainstream.
After school in the evening.
Lu Yinxing went to Class One as usual.
She happened to see Wu ngng hurrying out of the classroom.
Wu ngng was looking down.
But Lu Yinxing imdiately noticed the injury on her mouth and chin.
The entire corner of her mouth was bruised, like it had been hit.
It was as if sothing flashed through Lu Yinxing’s mind.
She quickly chased after her.
When Lu Yinxing caught up with Wu ngng, she imdiately asked seriously, "What’s with the injury on your face?"
Wu ngng didn’t expect Lu Yinxing to suddenly appear in front of her.
But she was about to be late and had no ti to explain.
Tonight was a very important opportunity. If she was late, the manager would definitely dock her pay again.
Wu ngng said, "I accidentally fell, I have sothing to do, so I’m going first."
With so many years of dical experience, Lu Yinxing knew it was clearly from a punch, not a fall.
Lu Yinxing grabbed Wu ngng’s hand: "Was it that bastard Wu Wei? Tell , and I’ll help you get back at him."
Actually, since last ti, Lu Yinxing originally didn’t want to ddle in this matter.
After all, it’s a family affair of soone else.
But seeing the bruise on Wu ngng’s chin now,
Lu Yinxing just couldn’t sit by and do nothing.
Wu ngng checked the ti; she really didn’t have ti to explain.
She shook off Lu Yinxing’s hand and ran off.
Lu Yinxing wasn’t going to let it go.
Just then, Wen Quan ca running from a distance.
Lu Yinxing shouted to Wen Quan from afar: "You go ho with my brother, I have sothing to take care of."
After saying that, Lu Yinxing also ran off.
After leaving the school gate, Wu ngng took a taxi and left.
Lu Yinxing also took a taxi and followed.
But in the end, she still lost track of her.
What surprised Lu Yinxing was that.
The place where she lost track was the bar street in Feng City.
This is the busiest and most decadent place in the city.
Lu Yinxing had just seen Wu ngng get off and enter this street.
Why would she co to a place like this? The school strictly forbids it.
But Lu Yinxing was very worried.
All sorts of people gather in places like this.
For a teenage girl to be here, isn’t it like a lamb walking into a wolf’s den?
As Lu Yinxing was hesitating over what to do,
She suddenly saw a familiar figure.
That person was Wu Wei.
Lu Yinxing frowned; he ca over too.
Thinking about the injury on Wu ngng’s chin, Lu Yinxing recalled the punch Wu Wei had thrown that day.
Lu Yinxing was furious and rushed over.
She directly punched Wu Wei on the chin.
Wu Wei had no guard at all.
He was knocked down to the ground.
"What the hell!" he shouted as he looked up.
What he saw was Lu Yinxing, who looked like an angry bird.
Wu Wei was both baffled and angry: "Lu Yinxing, are you crazy? Why did you hit ?"
Lu Yinxing replied unreservedly: "What’s with the injury on Wu ngng’s chin? Did you hit her? Wu Wei, are you even a man to hit a girl?"
After Lu Yinxing said this, Wu Wei’s expression completely changed.
He beca cold and fierce with a layer of rapidly burning anger: "Wu ngng was hit? Who did it?"
This ti, it was Lu Yinxing’s turn to be puzzled: "Wasn’t it you?"
"Damn it, I’ve never hit her. I just scare her a bit each ti."
After knowing Wu Wei for so many years, Lu Yinxing knew he wouldn’t lie.
It seems she misunderstood.
Lu Yinxing quickly went over, feeling sowhat guilty: "Are you okay? I might have hit too hard."
But Wu Wei didn’t care about himself at all: "Tell , who hit that damn girl? I saw her sneaking back ho wearing a mask yesterday. It didn’t feel right, and she got ho almost at midnight. Today, I discovered she ca to a place like this. What on earth is that damn girl up to?"
Lu Yinxing understood.
Wu Wei was also following Wu ngng to this place.
So Lu Yinxing decided to be frank: "I followed her here too, but I lost track of her, so now I don’t know where exactly she went."
Wu Wei said angrily, "That damn girl ca to a place like this. When I catch her, watch how I’ll skin her alive."
Lu Yinxing sighed as she saw Wu Wei’s gnashing teeth.
She could tell.
"You do care about her."
After all, they’ve known each other for so many years.
Lu Yinxing even sensed a bit of terrified worry in Wu Wei’s anger.
"Who cares about that damn girl? I’m just afraid she’ll ruin our Wu Family’s reputation."
"Don’t you always deny she’s part of the Wu Family? Why are you afraid she’ll ruin their reputation."
"Lu Yinxing, are you deliberately picking a fight with ?"
Lu Yinxing said, "Forget it, none of that’s important now. What matters is quickly finding ngng and figuring out why she ca here and if her injury has anything to do with this place."
Wu Wei said, "Even if I have to search every inch of this place, I will find her."
They started going through the bars one by one.
But there are dozens of bars on this street.
And even if Wu ngng was inside, they couldn’t possibly knock on every private room.
After checking two bars, they were almost kicked out by security.
The two of them stood at the entrance, catching their breath.
Wu Wei angrily punched a streetlamp.
But at that mont, Lu Yinxing suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I might have a way."
"What way?"
Lu Yinxing said, "Give your phone."
Although the school banned students from bringing phones to school.
But a "bad student" like Wu Wei didn’t care about those rules at all.
Wu Wei took out his phone and handed it to Lu Yinxing: "Who are you calling."
Lu Yinxing dialed a number: "Uncle Shui, can you help find soone on bar street? See if there’s any record of her spending or anything. Yes...Okay, I’ll wait for your call on this number."
The call ended.
Wu Wei asked, "Who did you just call?"
