As soon as the last bell of the day rang out, An Xiaxia grabbed her bag and was going to go home to watch the latest TV series . Su Xiaomo pounced on her and pinched one side of her breast . “Tsk, tsk, Xiaxia, what have you been eating these days?”
An Xiaxia blushed a little at this unexpected attack . “You brute! Hands off me!”
She rubbed her cheek and asked in a disheartened voice, “Momo, have I gotten uglier lately? I think I’ve gained weight after Chinese New Year…”
Su Xiaomo took a closer look at the teenage girl in front of her: she had a tiny frame and a glowing complexion; her black eyes were as bright as stars .
If she had to name one thing that was different from before, it seemed that… her breasts were bigger now?
And her facial features had a grown-up look to them now . Her expressions now faintly reminded one of a great beauty .
“Xiaxia, I don’t think you’ve gained weight… You’re probably becoming mature physically,” Su Xiaomo said, rubbing her own chin . “Tsk, tsk, I think you’re getting prettier . Do you look like your mum? I bet she’s a great beauty herself…”

A lonely look swept across An Xiaxia’s face .
Growing up, she had never met her mother once, nor had Papa An and An Yibei showed her any of her mother’s photos .
To this day, she still didn’t know what her mother looked like .
As her childhood friend, Su Xiaomo realized immediately that she had said the wrong thing . She changed the subject right away . “Hey, I heard that there’s this very cute guy in the music festival, but I think he was eliminated in the first round of auditions . He’ll be there for the repêchage today . Since we have nothing better to do, let’s go check him out!”
The two arrived at the venue for the repêchage an hour later and found themselves two seats in a corner .
The first audition had been rather strict this time and there weren’t enough contestants for the semifinals . Hence, a repêchage had been set up to take in more people .

The cute guy Su Xiaomo mentioned drew the number six by lot and went on stage after a short while .
An Xiaxia almost choked on her spit .
He had delicate features, a long fringe, and was very slim . With his expressionless face, if one had to describe him, “pretty” would be much more suitable than “handsome”!
“Is that really a boy?” An Xiaxia was dumbfounded .
Su Xiaomo chuckled . “Of course . He’s like the ultimate bottom! Tsk, tsk, he looks so yummy… I so want to pin him down and make him cry under me…”
An Xiaxia was speechless .
Su Xiaomo had definitely chosen the wrong sex when she was born…

After him came contestant No . 7 . An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo were going to leave, but both were dazed when they saw the person on stage .
It was Song Qingchen!
They wouldn’t have given it much thought if Song Qingchen was the only one up there . However, the person sitting at the piano accompanying her was none other than Sheng Yize himself!
Su Xiaomo felt An Xiaxia tense up right away .
“Xiaxia…” She called her name quietly, but An Xiaxia didn’t reply . Her mind was somewhere else .
On stage, the two played a classical piece, which was often heard during wedding ceremonies .
An Xiaxia felt her eyes burn .
Sheng Yize hadn’t told her about playing for Song Qingchen…
After the performance was over, An Xiaxia sat there staring blankly into the air for quite a while before absentmindedly walking out of the music hall .
Su Xiaomo followed her and asked nervously, “Xiaxia, are you alright?”
An Xiaxia shook her head . Su Xiaomo sighed, hailed a taxi, and pushed An Xiaxia into the car .
A short distance away, Song Qingchen had also gotten into a taxi with tears on her cheeks .
Behind them in a nondescript Buick, Jian Xin’er sneered . “That’s her! Follow that taxi!”
