Her soft voice seemed to stir up a very old memory for Sheng Yize .
He looked lost for a moment, but thanks to his great self-control, he snapped out of it immediately . “Yes… And she’s very good at it . ”
An Xiaxia sighed . So, it wasn’t a coincidence . That Song Qingchen on the form was indeed Sheng Yize’s childhood sweetheart .
Friday soon arrived .
The first audition for the violin competition was held today . An Xiaxia asked Bai Ziyue for a day off to take part in the event .
She ran into two familiar faces in the office: Li Fanxing and Song Qingchen .
Song Qingchen had entered the violin competition and Li Fanxing was accompanying her on the piano .
Bai Ziyue, the class teacher, signed their request for leave with a smile . “Good luck to the three of you~”
“Thank you, Miss Bai . ” The three thanked the teacher but wouldn’t look at one another . Li Fanxing and Song Qingchen then left the office first .
“An Xiaxia, one moment, please,” Bai Ziyue called after An Xiaxia, then picked up a stack of test papers from her desk . “Here are the history papers for the class… I helped Mr . Tang to mark them . Go and hand them back to everyone . ”
An Xiaxia was the class representative for history . She blinked and asked, “Miss Bai, why did you mark the papers for Mr . Tang?”
“His hand is injured and he can’t correct the papers himself . I can’t have the whole class delayed because of one person…”
Despite her lofty-sounding excuse, her feelings were betrayed by her blushing cheeks .
“Oh? In that case, should I express my gratitude, Miss Bai?” They heard a mesmerizing male voice at that moment . Tang Yijun walked gracefully into the office and stopped beside Bai Ziyue .
An Xiaxia noticed that her class teacher’s face had turned even redder .
“Mr . Tang, what happened to your hand?” An Xiaxia asked .
Tang Yijun said with a smile, “It comes with this job . I’ll be fine in a few days . Here, my little class representative . Have a candy and good luck with your competition!” He opened his palm in front of An Xiaxia . There was a toffee lying on it .
An Xiaxia took it and thanked him politely . She then left the office with the toffee and the papers .
Teehee, something seemed to be going on between the two teachers…
In the office .
Bai Ziyue straightened her shoulders and made a show of watching a PPT on her computer . Tang Yijun chuckled and stuck out an open palm under her nose .
There was another toffee on it .
An Xiaxia rushed to the competition venue and changed in the changing room .
She couldn’t help but shudder once she changed into her dress .
Although there was central heating here, it was still too cold to wear a dress in this season .
She rubbed her arms, picked up her violin case, and headed backstage .
Halfway there, she received a phone call from her partner .
“I’m sorry Xiaxia, I ate something bad and I can’t be there as your accompanist today… Shit . I have to use the toilet again!”
An Xiaxia hung up in frustration and sighed .
The accompaniment wasn’t all that important during the first audition… Although, she would certainly receive less marks than those who did have one .
She lifted the lower hem of her dress off the floor, pushed the door of the changing room open, and climbed the stairs backstage .
Two figures in all their finery stood on the stairs .
The two blocked the way like a pair of door gods . An Xiaxia frowned . “Let me pass, please . ”
“An Xiaxia, what’s the rush? Let’s have a chat . After all, we’re all from the same school . Let’s get to know each other better . ” Li Fanxing smiled brightly .
Song Qingchen blinked her innocent big eyes . “Xiaxia, I heard that you don’t have a mother . Is that true?”
