Chapter 79: Don’t Repay Kindness with Ingratitude
With Chen Minghe’s appearance, the applause in Class Four became enthusiastic again.
He set up the electronic piano, adjusted it nervously, and then looked around anxiously.
Then, taking a deep breath, he began playing with a standard and elegant posture…
He played with focused expression, soft piano sounds, and good emotions, which were considered quite high-level among the student body.
Seven or eight minutes later.
The piece ended.
He stood up, bowed slightly, and was once again applauded.
After scanning the room, he quickly packed up his things and left Class Four.
At the door, Wen Yu also applauded with a smile, and handed him a piece of candy.
“You played really well.”
“You scared me. I’m not even this nervous when I compete. Damn, you didn’t give me candy just now?”
“You hadn’t performed yet, had you?”
“If I messed up, you wouldn’t have given it to me, right?”
“Of course not, I would’ve still given it to you.”
Chen Minghe looked back at Class Four and suddenly looked depressed.
“Hey, I was so focused on playing the piano, thinking I couldn’t make mistakes or embarrass myself, that I didn’t think about interacting… I didn’t even make eye contact!”
Wen Yu chuckled twice. “There’ll be more opportunities in the future, don’t worry.”
Chen Minghe looked even more excited. “Brother Wen, would you be willing to perform with me?”
Wen Yu immediately got angry, “How can you be like this? I’m comforting you here, and you repay kindness with ingratitude!”
“…”
After sending Chen Minghe away, Wen Yu returned to the classroom.
Fu Chengque offered half an orange and asked, “Did he leave?”
“He did.”
“Not bad, at least he kept his word. Keep an eye on him, don’t let him do anything bad! Military Advisor Wen, this task is up to you!”
“I know, I won’t bother with him, not interested in him.” Wen Yu waved her hand, “Let’s watch the show. When is your dance coming up?”
“Interested, huh?”
“Yeah, after all, you’re wearing makeup today and even wearing the bracelet I gave you.”
“You noticed?”
“Of course.”
“Hehe, my turn is coming soon.”
“Good luck.”
Fu Chengque’s cheeks blushed slightly, whether from makeup or shyness.
After talking with Wen Yu, she got up and left. Shortly after, Li Yi happily shouted, “The next performance is Fu Chengque’s dance.”
Then, Fu Chengque floated to the center of the stage alone, and the whole room fell silent.
As the music started, she danced gracefully.
***
It was a very simple dance.
Even the clothes weren’t specially prepared, and it wasn’t very skilled, but Wen Yu felt—
Fu Chengque, so beautiful.
This was a dance that belonged in high school, a scroll belonging to these students. Being too outstanding, however, seemed to lose that youthful beauty.
Occasionally, Wen Yu could meet her eyes and see the shyness hidden behind her bold movements.
When she finished her dance, Wen Yu clapped with satisfaction.
Xiao Gua teased from the side, “Wen Yu, was it good?”
With someone absent, Wen Yu felt no pressure, “It was good, of course.”
Fang Ling asked mischievously, “Is the person good-looking or the dance?”
Wen Yu decided to tease them back, “The dance is better because of the person, and the person is more beautiful because of the dance.”
The three girls beside her twisted together, trembling and saying, “So cheesy and sweet, can’t resist it, can’t resist it, it’s too sweet for us.”
When Fu Chengque returned to her seat, Xiao Gua immediately hugged her waist, her eyes shining.
With a sour tone, she said, “Chengque, you’re really beautiful. The dance is better because of you.”
Fang Ling also chimed in with false sincerity, “And you look more beautiful because of the dance.”
Fu Chengque shuddered violently.
She raised her arm and rolled up her sleeves, “You guys are giving me goosebumps.”
Xiao Gua and the others burst into laughter together.
Fu Chengque turned her head to look at Wen Yu, “What’s wrong with them?”
“Going crazy.”
“I also think so…”
“You danced really well.”
“Thank you…”
Apart from the performances, the party also included small games, and winners of the games could get prizes.
In some of the earlier games, Wen Yu and Fu Chengque didn’t participate, but when it came to musical chairs, they both joined in.
Ten chairs were arranged in a circle, with eleven people participating. After a few rounds, there were still three people and two chairs left on the stage: Wen Yu, Fu Chengque, and another girl.
Host Li Yi gave another command.
The surrounding students also became excited.
“Wen Yu, come on! You’re the only hope for us guys!”
“Fu Chengque, come on! If Wen Yu is chasing you, you have to win for her!”
“Come on, Wen Yu, if you lose to a girl, the status of the guys in Class Four will be lost!”
“Chengque, you can do it!”
“Zhang Lu, come on! Beat those dog-like couples!”
Everyone looked towards the ones who shouted these words, it turned out to be the chubby and skinny duo in the class.
“You two are really…”
Before finishing her sentence, she suddenly heard the music stop, and the three rushed towards the nearest chair.
Wen Yu was lucky, no one competed with him.
Fu Chengque unexpectedly had a strong body and managed to beat Zhang Lu.
Finally, it was down to Wen Yu and Fu Chengque.
Wen Yu prepared to say some trash talk.
“Fu Chengque, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long! If you’re not afraid of death, come and compete with me!”
“Oh? You want to challenge my throne!”
He pointed to the only chair in the middle of the stage, “This unique position in the world, you can sit on it, and so can I!”
Fu Chengque pretended to be angry, “You’re dreaming!”
The music started again, and the two began circling, staring at each other.
Wen Yu shouted, “Today, I will tell you girls that Class Four is led by us guys! Brothers, what do you say?”
The surrounding boys immediately went wild:
“Yes, yes, yes! Support Wen Yu!!”
“Wen Yu said it well! Come on!!”
Fu Chengque was not convinced and shouted, “Then let’s see if you have the ability! We girls are not easy to deal with, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right! Go, Chengque!”
“Support Fu Chengque!!”
After two more rounds, the music suddenly stopped.
Neither Wen Yu nor Fu Chengque gave in to each other. They twisted their bodies and tried to squeeze onto the chair, resulting in each occupying half of it, squeezing back and forth.
Fu Chengque indeed had quite a bit of strength. In the past, Wen Yu felt that he might not be able to win against her in such a squeeze.
But times had changed. He could have used force to push her off and make her fall flat on her face, but this half of the “throne”—
He claimed it!
Fu Chengque was a bit surprised. Wen Yu looked slender, but he was really strong.
As soon as he sat on the chair, it was as if his bottom was stuck to it, no matter how she tried to push, she couldn’t move him. She immediately abandoned the idea of monopolizing the chair, but this half of the “world”—
She claimed it!
