Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Wait and See Before Going Official! (Thanks to Qing Ning Mengmeng Da i for the reward)

To Luo Susu, a girlfriend is just a title.

Not agreeing to hold hands, nor to kiss, you could say she only agrees to the title of girlfriend, but hasn’t committed to anything else.

So, what harm is there in being Lin Xi’s girlfriend?

Besides, with her talent, she learns things extremely quickly.

Once she’s learned everything, break up!

This doesn’t cause her any psychological pressure; agreeing to be his girlfriend is already the biggest stroke of luck for him in this lifetime.

At worst, she’ll kindly offer him some breakup compensation.

Luo Susu thought about it this way, but realized Lin Xi didn’t look as delighted as she imagined, rather he seemed hesitant.

For something so good, what could he be hesitant about?

The idea of him being unwilling never crossed Luo Susu’s mind.

"Be my girlfriend?" Lin Xi asked with a bit of doubt.

"Yes," Luo Susu replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi’s expression turned peculiar, but after a brief hesitation, he said, "I have no objections."

What the heck?

You have no objections?

Shouldn’t you reply with "Of course" or "I’d love to"?

Lin Xi’s response was completely unexpected to her; she really wanted to say something like, you may not have objections, but I do.

However, she needed something from him now, so obviously, she couldn’t say that.

"Alright, start teaching me to play piano tomorrow morning," Luo Susu suppressed her inner turmoil and said again, "Two hours every day until I learn everything."

After saying this, Luo Susu didn’t want to say another word and turned to leave.

Because today was completely beyond her expectations, she never imagined that someone who appeared younger than her could defeat her in piano.

"Wait!" Lin Xi called.

"Something wrong?" Luo Susu stopped and turned back, puzzled.

"Let’s start with a trial period as my girlfriend!" Lin Xi insisted as he looked at the breathtakingly beautiful Luo Susu.

"So, I can’t teach you tomorrow."

"As for when I start teaching you, that’ll depend on your performance. Do well, and you’ll be official."

"Yeah, only after becoming official will I teach you."

"By the way, I’m not that casual!" Lin Xi said after this and left the passage without concerning himself with Luo Susu’s expression.

Just after exiting the passage, his phone rang; it was a message on WeChat.

Seeing it was from Zhu Ying, Lin Xi couldn’t help but smile; it’s rare for you to take the initiative to message me.

"Lin Xi, come to me, to that place we were just at."

"Okay, on my way!"

As he was about to find the side door, Lin Xi noticed that all the classmates backstage were looking at him with worshipful eyes.

Passing by the earlier classmate, yes, the one who said the ending would be tragic, Lin Xi nodded at him.

But this classmate was obviously less casual than before, awkwardly smiling.

At the corner of the venue, Zhu Ying was standing there alone.

And on stage now, several performances had already gone by, and the host was calling for the next act.

"Teacher Zhu, what do you need me for?" Lin Xi approached and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, after what had just happened, she should be quite angry.

Looking at her now, she didn’t seem the slightest bit unhappy, just like usual.

However, she seemed a bit embarrassed.

Judging by her reaction, it seemed she didn’t really want to see him.

So why did she call him over?

"Did you say you’ve only played twice?" Zhu Ying suddenly sounded a bit wronged, questioning Lin Xi.

"..." Lin Xi was stunned; Teacher Zhu was completely playing against expectations, and couldn’t help but nod.

"Are you still lying to me?" Zhu Ying said feeling annoyed since Lin Xi didn’t seem intent on admitting any wrongdoing, "You’ve played twice, and you’re this good at it?"

"Do you think I’m an idiot!"

"I was worried sick for you, turns out you’re just a liar." Saying this, Zhu Ying turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something and said, "Come see me after the party ends, there’s something I need!"

Watching Zhu Ying’s departing shadow, Lin Xi was in shock.

It felt like an ancient beast sealed within him was about to break free.

It took some time for Lin Xi to ponder the meaning behind Zhu Ying’s last words.

"See her?"

"Something she needs?"

"Saying she needs something is just an excuse?" Lin Xi thought, "Actually moved by my piano performance and wants to offer herself."

Hmm, definitely that’s it.

Otherwise, why not say it here, why wait until the party ends, why go into a room to talk?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt his performance was worth it, and Li Neng’s scheme wasn’t all bad; at least he gained the hearts of two beauties.

But what Lin Xi didn’t expect was that ever since he finished his "High Mountain and Flowing Water" performance, all the girls in the venue, and later throughout the campus, became smitten with him.

"Hey, isn’t that the classmate who was talking to him backstage?" At this moment, Lin Xi heard the singing on stage come to an abrupt stop, but the music continued to play, and couldn’t help but look over.

Seeing him on stage flustered with a panicked look, Lin Xi immediately understood that he was too nervous, which caused him to forget the lyrics.

But Lin Xi only had a passing acquaintance with him, so whether he forgot the lyrics or not had nothing to do with him.

However, what Lin Xi didn’t realize was that this classmate’s pressure and forgotten lyrics all stemmed from him.

Going back to the dorm early, Lin Xi sent a message in the roommates’ group chat to ask where the three are.

Almost instantly, the fourth roommate, Cui Hua, replied saying they were in a certain row, certain seats, and that they saved a spot for him.

Finding the three, Lin Xi calmly sat down beside them, ready to watch the welcome party.

Luckily here was a corner, with dim lighting, or else it would cause quite a stir.

The three beside him, Peng Bo and others, weren’t calm at all, asking Lin Xi with admiration, what else do you know that we don’t, boss?

Lin Xi smiled, not saying much.

The welcome party continued, and the next act from the class took the stage.

This performance was a boy and a girl singing a duet, overall quite nice, slightly above average.

For all performances at the party, it didn’t stand out much, but had its merits.

The following performances were fairly ordinary.

However, the last act was quite unexpected for Lin Xi.

Hmm, it was a song.

This song had a cute and relaxed style, most importantly, the performing student’s voice was sweet and charming.

Judging solely by the performance, it was no less than Luo Susu.

Additionally, she was pretty, comparable to Luo Susu, though their styles were completely different.

This was one reason for the sensations during the whole event.

Ever since this party, Jiangnan University’s four campus beauties added another.

"Gu Xiaoxian?" Lin Xi was a bit surprised.

In his eyes, Gu Xiaoxian was just a shy and adorable girl, didn’t expect her to perform so well on stage.

At that moment, Lin Xi’s phone vibrated, seeing it was a message from Zhu Ying, he thought, "Didn’t expect the teacher to be so impatient, but I’m impatient too!"
