On that night, Liu Man and Li Xiaoru met up with Wen Fangfei at the practice room, and they practiced until ten again.Yu Zhan came at ten-forty.
At this time, Wen Fangfei had just left because she had something to attend to, so she did not get to meet Yu Zhan. Li Xiaoru teased, "It's so unfortunate that Fangfei had to leave right before you came. She should've stayed so she can meet Man Man's boyfriend."
"What? Boyfriend? Nonsense," Liu Man felt extremely awkward. She quickly glanced at Yu Zhan to see him, smiling as if he was a cat that had just caught a mouse. Seeing he had no intention of explaining, she had to say, "Zhan's only a friend of mine."
"Oh, oh. Sorry, sorry. I misunderstood. It's my fault, and I can't keep my mouth under control. You are only friends with such a handsome Mr. Yu," Li Xiaoru giggled as she said, and she didn't look sorry at all, "Mhm, just a male friend who is here to pick you up two days in a row when he could've been sleeping. Why didn't I meet such a good friend? Ah. My life sucks."
Li Xiaoru was too observative.
Liu Man was speechless.
Her and Yu Zhan's relationship was in the ambiguous stage, with only one nebulous piece of paper in between. It just depended on when Yu Zhan wanted to poke through it. Because of the personality Liu Man had, there was zero possibility that she would be the one to confess.
Li Xiaoru was a great helper. Yu Zhan silently pushed the like button for her in his mind, thinking it wouldn't be enough to treat her to one meal. He had to treat her to at least two.
Yu Zhan understood he shouldn't force Liu Man and acted innocent as he told Li Xiaoru, "You've misunderstood us. I haven't known Man Man for a long time, and we are only friends."
Hehe...
Li Xiarou rolled her eyes inside. Did he mean if they knew each other for a longer time, they wouldn't be just friends?
Last night was her first time seeing such a handsome man, and she was too excited that she didn't notice the car he drove. Tonight, she examined it closely and realized this Volvo was the one she and Wang Nina saw last semester when he picked Man Man up for dinner.
So, this man started pursuing Liu Man from then. He did have patience and was persistent.
Yu Zhan first sent Li Xiaoru back to the dorm before sending Liu Man back to her house.
Gentleman. Li Xiaoru made a checkmark.
Driving skills. Li Xiaoru made a checkmark.
Uh, as for his job — He was a vet.
Li Xiaoru chatted with Yu Zhan in the car just now and learned how he met Man Man. Being a vet was okay. She heard vets could make lots of money right now, and especially as the boss of a pet clinic. At least Man Man didn't have to worry about basic needs in the future. Li Xiaoru made another checkmark.
Due to the multi-major joint ensemble concert for the Sophomores of Capital Music University, many students participated, involving more than a dozen instrumental music majors, and nearly a thousand people participated. Many students published various cooperation invitation information on Wei Bo, the Bulletin Board System, or WeChat Moments.
Now, as the grouping stage had come to an end, everyone was rehearsing. Many sent the photos and videos of them practicing onto the internet to flaunt. They were on both Wei Bo and Tik Tok.
Everyone was professional at their instruments, and even if they were practicing, they were still on a much higher level than the amateurs. The videos were enough to make amateurs enjoy!
The netizens complimented and liked these videos, and there were hundreds and thousands of comments. For those cool and showing off videos, there were even tens of thousands of them.
These videos made an elegant, artistic trend in the capital city's university society and even in the entire China's university society. The topic, #Capital-Music-University-Ensemble-Concert#, immediately got popular.
Netizen A, on Wei Bo, said: "When I was young, my neighbor got forced by his parents to learn the piano every day, but I was only fooling around like a monkey. At that time, I was very grateful that my parents did not force me to learn any of these sucky instruments. But now, seeing these people my age play the instruments they are good at so gracefully, I admire and regret my decision. When I was playing around, people were practicing hard. It is reasonable for them to be so outstanding."
Netizen B said: "I used to think that Western classical music was so boring, and I wanted to sleep whenever I listened to it. But the students from this music university made me realize that classical music can also become very fashionable and cool after re-arrangement. It seems to radiate with the youthful vitality of the new century, and I can't help but enjoy it."
Netizen C said: "Luckily, I am also a college student in the capital city. I heard that the concert is on May 9th and 10th, which are on Thursday and Friday. Although those days are not holidays, I still want to come to watch! It will be lit. Does anyone else want to come with me?"
Lots of people commented down below that they wanted to go, too. They would even take a break from work only to come.
Author's Note: As a previous chapter mentioned, this unofficial concert is forever free and would not require any tickets. Anyone could walk in and listen. At first, Zhu Xiyang was even worried that there would be no audience because of how long the concert was. But now, his biggest worry was what if there was going to be too many audiences.
In the calligraphy class on Saturday,
Professor Su supervised Liu Man as she finished writing a piece. He felt satisfied and asked her because he was in a good mood, "Is your school having a student concert?"
Liu Man was surprised. Even Professor Su knew about this?
Professor Su read her mind and smiled, "I have an old friend, and she's a Guzheng professor from your school. Her last name is Wei, and her name is Wei Wanru. Do you know her?"
Liu Man shook her head, "I'm a piano major, so I don't know anything about professors from the folksong major."
Professor Su said, "She told me that all the western classical music majors in your school are quite busy recently. Every Sophomore has to participate in a performance. I suddenly realize you're also a Sophomore, so I'm just asking you out of convenience."
"Yes, everyone has been working on this recently since it involves an assessment. It's both a competition and a performance, so everyone has been putting in all their effort."
Although Zhu Xiyang never clearly stated what rewards there would be for the top rankings, everyone still understood that there was a large possibility the best team would be able to perform at the 80th-anniversary concert.
Now, they were not preparing just for this test but also this spot. As long as they could perform at this anniversary concert, they would never have to worry anymore for their future after graduation.
Professor Su cared a lot about Liu Man, "How are your preparations going?"
"We're ready," Li Xiaoru and her weren't going for a high rank anyway. They were satisfied as long as they passed.
"Wanru said your concert is going to be on next, next week. Just focus on preparing for your performance next Saturday, and you will not need to come here. We can make it up on a Sunday," Professor Su considered a lot for Liu Man.
But she shouldn't miss any of his classes!
Liu Man hurriedly thanked him.
"All right, we should stop getting off-topic. Let's continue the class."
