Chapter 152
Chapter 152: Music Returns to the Courtyard, Lights Under the Tower
Fu Chengque sang in front of a boy for the first time, and it was a solo performance for him.
She sang with a low voice, feeling shy unexpectedly—even she didn’t expect this. She thought she could dance in front of the whole school without any reaction to singing a song.
But the fact is: she did, she felt nervous, embarrassed, and had strange feelings.
Especially when she thought of some lyrics, such as “Only love the butterfly you become” and “I use no regrets to engrave a monument of eternal love for you,” her voice uncontrollably lowered, choked in her throat, and couldn’t come out.
After singing like this, looking at Wen Yu’s ambiguous applause, she felt like she was overthinking.
Lu Min and Fang Ling leaned on the sofa, singing “Hug That Hug”.
Xiao Gua was peeling crayfish, and after peeling off the white flesh, she dipped it in sauce and handed it to Lu Min’s mouth, waiting for her to finish singing before slurping it.
Today is a big day, the birthday girl is the biggest.
With a microphone in her left hand and a chicken drumstick in her right hand, Fang Ling was busy singing and trying to catch the pastry that fell down.
Wen Yu was inserting milk tea straws and distributing them one by one.
Fu Chengque got a cup of grape-flavored one. My god, is Wen Yu implying that he’s going to become a tyrant?!
A plastic cup of grape juice?
She chuckled to herself and shook her head, exclaiming, “Oops,” stepping on and bursting a balloon, diving into the group of girls, wanting to merge happiness together…

There’s a poem:
Meeting friends with wine and poetry, toasts and verse intertwine.
Leisurely enjoying the scenery, delighting in joy, never tired, thoroughly intoxicated.
Another poem says:
Music and dancing return to the courtyard, lights shining under the tower.
They went in at one-thirty in the afternoon and came out at ten-thirty in the evening.
Standing in the night breeze, looking at Lu Min, waiting for some words.
From junior high to high school, and then from the first year of high school to the third, in the months of increasing pressure, Lu Min had never had such a crazy stress-relieving moment. Nine consecutive hours of eating and drinking, yelling and making noise, completely expressing all her emotions that were usually restrained to cope with stress.
Her facial expression became wooden, her throat became hoarse, her stomach was stuffed, and her body was tired.
But her spirit was uplifted!
The neon lights reflected on the faces of the few, glamorous and dreamy. She looked at everyone, feeling satisfied overflowing in her heart.
She suddenly remembered, more than half a year ago, she didn’t even know Wen Yu, and she wasn’t as familiar with Fu Chengque and Xiao Gua as she imagined. But today, these four people were the ones who spent the most bustling day of the third year of high school with her.
Originally thought that high school life would pass quietly, but now looking back, it also flashed with a dazzling light.
Who would know the wishes she made to the shooting star back then?
No one.
But someone helped her realize it—
“I hope my high school life can end perfectly and brilliantly!”
This was her high school, and time wouldn’t come back.
“I want to take a picture with each of you individually!” she suddenly said.
The others had been waiting for this, eagerly shouting, “Okay, okay!”
The five first asked passersby to take a large group photo, and then took individual photos one by one.
When taking a photo with Fang Ling, Lu Min said, “Ling, thank you for always being by my side.” She whispered close to her ear, “You’ll always be my best, best friend! Forever!”
When taking a photo with Xiao Gua, Lu Min said, “Gua, you’re so cute, come to my house often in the future!” She whispered again, “I’ll take you to eat lots of things that they can’t eat!”
When taking a photo with Fu Chengque, Lu Min said, “Thank you, Chengque, without you, we wouldn’t all be here today. I’m very happy!” She leaned in and whispered, “I like sweet love, make it sweet.”
When taking photos with Wen Yu, Lu Min said, “It’s my first time taking pictures with a boy, feeling a bit nervous… Don’t mind, haha, hope we can still be good friends in the future.” Then she whispered, “Keep it up, I feel like Chengque is about to surrender!”
After she finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of several people varied.
Lu Min looked around and laughed even happier.

After dispersing, they each went home.
Phones were glowing all the way, and the messages in the group never stopped.
It’s fortunate that there’s school tomorrow, and they’ll see each other again; otherwise, several girls would probably cry a lot.
【Queen’s First Harem】(5)
【Lu Min】: Thanks, everyone! I’m very happy!
【Fang Ling】: @Fu Chengque @Wen Yu, you two worked hard.
【Xiao Gua】: When Min is happy, we’re happy too!
【Lu Min】: [CatHappy] Love you all!
【Fu Chengque】: Sobbing, as long as Min is happy!

The emotions of several girls couldn’t be contained, so they had to talk again.
Wen Yu glanced at them a few times, not concerning himself.
It was already past eleven when he got home.
Wen Yu sat for a while before taking a shower. After washing up and coming out, he found Fu Chengque sitting in his bedroom, startling him.
“Why didn’t you say anything before coming into my room?”
“Is there something secret in your room?” Fu Chengque raised her eyebrows, leaning down to look under the desk.
“You’re not resting tonight? Is your throat okay?”
“No problem! And do you believe me when I say I’m not tired?” Fu Chengque said, standing up and waving her fists at Wen Yu, “I could knock you out with just one punch!”
Wen Yu scoffed, showing his disdain.
Feeling insulted, Fu Chengque rushed over to punch, but Wen Yu was quick. He flicked her forehead, causing her to stagger back a few steps, sitting down on a chair, holding her forehead and crying out, “Ow, ow…”
“Still acting tough?”
“Sob…”
“Feeling arrogant after being energetic for a few days, huh?”
“I…”
Approaching, Wen Yu suddenly remembered something, “Did you take a shower?”
“Why?”
“Scared that if you didn’t shower, you couldn’t come in? I’m a pure person now; don’t get too close to me if you haven’t showered.”
“You little cat, even without a shower, I smell better than you!” Fu Chengque got angry and shouted again, “I took a shower as soon as I got back!”
“Okay, okay, lower your voice, my parents are sleeping, have some manners, okay?”
Fu Chengque quickly covered her mouth and quieted down.
Wen Yu glanced at her and smiled, “You’re really lively.”
“I also feel that way. Am I becoming invincible?”
“Almost.”
“I feel like I have endless energy to release!” Fu Chengque looked energetic, completely not tired.
“Is that so?”
“Let me punch you, and you’ll know.”
“Sure!”
“Really!?”
“Yes.”
Wen Yu rolled over and lay on his own bed, urging Fu Chengque, “Come on, hit my back. It’s a waste not to use this energy for a massage.”
“You’re dreaming!”
“First, say it doesn’t count as massage time.”
“Even if you say it doesn’t, I won’t massage!” Fu Chengque retorted, ignoring him.
Wen Yu felt disappointed when Fu Chengque didn’t move.
He said again, “I’ve been working too hard recently, I need to relax. Fu Chengque, clear your schedule for the weekend after the second mock exam, and give me a massage—”
“I’ll also play the role of an incompetent emperor for a day!”
