Chapter 575 Brother Ye hasn't arrived yet, but the quack has already come.
That's right, his so-called "urgent matter" tonight was the promise he made to Jiang Wanyi a few days ago to go see her arts performance.
The little girl invited him with a cheerful yet slightly shy tone, saying that she had a solo dance performance that she had been preparing for a long time and hoped that he could come and watch.
Ye Fan agreed without much hesitation.
The time is 8:30 tonight.
And now, the hands have slid to 7:30.
The aftermath of the city's evening rush hour is still present, but the road conditions leading to the Normal University are still acceptable.
Ye Fan's eyes were calm. His dark gray Pagani, like a nimble fish, weaved through the traffic and headed towards the campus full of youthful energy.
Meanwhile, at Jinling Normal University, inside the auditorium of the Student Activity Center.
The stage was brightly lit and filled with music. The school-wide arts performance had begun, and the audience was packed with the enthusiasm and excitement of the young students.
Backstage, however, the atmosphere was completely different.
In a corner of the dressing room, Jiang Wanyi, who had already changed into a light blue dance costume and had exquisite makeup that made her look like a fairy in the forest, seemed somewhat absent-minded.
She would occasionally tiptoe and peek through the gap in the curtain at a designated spot in the audience, but it remained empty.
As time ticked closer to her scheduled performance, the expectant light in her clear eyes was gradually replaced by a faint sense of loss and anxiety.
She unconsciously bit her lower lip, her fingers twisting the flowing gauze sleeves, and she couldn't help but murmur softly, as if asking herself, or questioning the person who was not present:
"You promised you'd come tonight..."
"You agreed so readily that day, you probably...wouldn't be lying to me, right?"
"But it's already this late!"
"You big liar...you're really not coming, are you?"
Each whisper made her heart sink a little deeper.
Her classmates were all nervously preparing or encouraging each other, and her anxiety seemed so out of place.
This meticulously prepared solo dance seemed to have suddenly lost its most important audience, becoming somewhat dull and tasteless.
She even started to have wild thoughts, wondering if she was taking it too seriously, and if for someone like him, these student activities were insignificant, and that her previous promises were just empty words.
Another girl with a high ponytail and a lively personality happened to push the door open and came in, carrying two bottles of water.
She spotted Jiang Wanyi, who was looking dejected in the corner, and couldn't help but lean over, gently nudging her with her elbow. A mischievous smile played on her lips as she teased her:
"Oh my! Look who's here! It's Jiang, the pillar of our Normal University's dance department, the universally acknowledged campus belle! Why is her face all scrunched up like a wilted eggplant? She seems down, sister. Is she tired from rehearsals, or did someone upset our little princess?"
"Get out of here! What nonsense are you talking about! Who, who's in a bad mood!"
Jiang Wanyi stiffened slightly, like a kitten whose secret had been suddenly exposed, and quickly looked away from the dark phone screen.
Somewhat guilty, she raised her voice to retort, "I...I'm just memorizing the movements and breathing rhythm! I'm going on stage in a bit, I'm a little nervous, is that okay?"
As she spoke, she deliberately took a few deep breaths, trying to prove that she was really "preparing".
"Okay, okay, memorize the movements, memorize the rhythm, whatever you say goes."
Her best friend unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her, but her face had a mocking expression that said, "I don't believe you for a second, you little rascal."
She winked and whispered in Jiang Wanyi's ear, a mischievous grin on her face, continuing to poke at her heart:
"I thought someone was looking at their phone eight hundred times, waiting for that legendary, elusive 'Brother Ye'."
"Sigh, your soul must have flown away with someone long ago, right? You're still remembering the movements? I think your soul's gone!"
"I didn't wait for him! You...you're talking nonsense!" Jiang Wanyi's pretty face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
She turned her head away haughtily, pretending to fix her hair, but the two slender fingers unconsciously intertwined beneath her flowing light blue skirt completely betrayed her inner panic and anticipation.
Seeing her insincere expression, her best friend shook her head helplessly, dropped her joking look, and pointed with some concern towards the noisy audience outside, lowering her voice to speak about the important matter:
"Seriously though, Wanyi, you'd better be prepared when you step off the stage later. I just heard that young master Li Que..."
She paused, her tone clearly showing annoyance:
"He prepared ninety-nine red roses and even had two assistants carry them, planning to give them to you in public as soon as you stepped off the stage, what kind of 'heartfelt confession' is this?"
Tonight is the school's highly anticipated graduating class party. The audience is packed with leaders, teachers, and students, all under intense scrutiny... You're caught in a dilemma – accepting or not accepting, who knows what rumors will spread? The gossip could drown you.
Upon hearing the name "Li Que," Jiang Wanyi's blushing face instantly fell, and a clear look of annoyance flashed in her bright eyes.
She huffed angrily, her tone crisp and decisive, carrying the fiery spirit unique to girls from Nanjing:
"Hmph! What's so difficult about it? He doesn't care about making a fool of himself, I'll just pretend I didn't see it and not answer!"
She spoke faster, clearly harboring deep resentment over the matter:
"I made it perfectly clear to him a long time ago, I practically stuck the word 'get lost' on his forehead!"
I told him, "There's no future for us in this lifetime. Don't worry about things that don't concern you, and don't waste your dad's money and time on me!"
"He's the one who insisted on sticking on like a leech, and even tried to use public moral blackmail?"
She gritted her teeth, determined: "Then don't blame me for ripping him off in front of the entire school, showing him no mercy and tearing apart his self-righteous facade!"
Seeing her about to explode like a "hot girl," her best friend subconsciously shrank back, feeling both relieved and a little worried, and sighed:
"Sigh, okay, you're awesome! You're really tough! Actually, to be fair, Li Que is quite a prominent figure in the eyes of most of the girls in our school."
His family owns a factory, and as for looks... well, he's presentable enough. His Range Rover Evoque is quite eye-catching on campus; I heard he has some connections locally. He usually acts all high and mighty.
She changed the subject, curling her lip: "But... compared to your 'Brother Ye' at home, tsk, one is soaring through the heavens, while the other is rolling around in the mud at the school gate showing off his new toys. They're not even worthy of comparison."
Jiang Wanyi rolled her eyes dramatically, a look that was both beautiful and helpless, and rubbed her temples in annoyance.
