Plus, she had a natural singing voice...

Coldness appeared in Song Jingwan's eyes but her smile grew brighter. "This is unexpected. Yaoyao, what other surprises do you have waiting for me?"

"Probably a little more than the tricks you have hidden."

The girl's dark pupils were clear like autumn water.

Her dimples sank and she smiled innocently; there was an aloof sweetness.

But Song Jingwan gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Do you think everyone is as calculative as you? Just because you're dirty, everything looks dirty to you!" An Ruoyao said coldly when she saw her friend being bullied.

Song Jingwan's eyes flickered but she did not speak up for Song Yaoyao.

"Tch...what brand of trash are you? You're so good at acting."

Shen Xun walked over slowly. There was still a bandaid on his forehead and a wound on his face which hadn't healed. He looked tough to begin with, so when he straightened his face in hostility, he looked particularly frightening even though he was almost as handsome as Huo Ningxi.

An Ruoyao curled her finger and pursed her lips. "Shen Xun, don't step out of line!"

"Huh?"

Shen Xun picked his ear and slowly turned his head as he smiled at Song Yaoyao. "Big Bro, did you hear a voice?"

Song Yaoyao smiled slightly and shook her head.

"No, I didn't."

Seeing that they were being ignored, An Ruoyao and Song Jingwan's faces turned red, especially An Ruoyao's. She had gathered all her courage to say that line.

When the boy's cold and emotionless gaze fell upon her, An Ruoyao suddenly felt as though she was being stalked by a wild creature and her neck would be bitten off if she wasn't careful.

He could kill her with one hit.

This guy's ruthlessness was no joke.

"Let's go."

Song Yaoyao approached a girl in the distance with the zither. She had to return it first.

"Thank you."

Her eyes curved as she thanked the girl sincerely.

"N-no need..." The girl blushed, too afraid to look at Song Yaoyao's exquisite face. "Your performance was amazing. You will definitely win first place!"

Song Jingwan's eyelids twitched and she pressed her lips together firmly.

Song Yaoyao smiled. "May your prediction come true~" she said without any modesty. "To be honest, I also think our class will take first place."

It didn't matter if it was necessarily her.

In the girl's eyes, Song Yaoyao's actions were extremely lovable.

She held onto her zither and screamed on the inside.

Ahhh! How can there be such a lovable girl? She's talented and beautiful!

Heavens! Is she a goddess?

After bidding farewell, Song Yaoyao headed for the waiting room. Everyone was watching the performances so the waiting room was empty.

The girl watched as she disappeared into the distance and retrieved her gaze unwillingly.

She turned her head and accidentally looked into Song Jingwan's eyes. She felt a chill down her spine.

Why did it feel like...

...the School Beauty was extremely hostile towards this student?

Was she imagining things?

...

With such an amazing performance setting the bar, Song Jingwan no longer had any expectations.

The closing act?

She was more like a joke.

After seeing Song Yaoyao's spectacular performance, everyone's reactions were clearly not as passionate afterward.

Song Jingwan sighed and revealed a gentle smile. "Hi everyone, I am Song Jingwan from Class 3-1. Today, I'll be performing a song that I really like."
