Ye Chen's stunning piano performance captivated the audience, impressing Lin Shiyin despite his humble background. After the show, Ye Chen tried to leave unnoticed but encountered Lin Shiyin, who expressed her admiration and introduced herself. Their conversation was interrupted by Wu Tong, who, driven by jealousy, confronted Ye Chen and questioned his skills.

Wu Tong was about to rush over towards Ye Chen as he spoke.

Ye Chen could tell from his words that this guy wasn’t a friendly sort.

He harbored hostility towards him, but Ye Chen couldn’t be blamed for that.

After all, it was Lin Shiyin who started chatting with him.

"Wu Tong, what are you planning to do?"

Lin Shiyin quickly asked upon seeing the situation.

She knew if Ye Chen got involved with Wu Tong, the subsequent matters would be hard to handle.

"Shiyin, I just want to teach this arrogant guy a lesson for you."

Wu Tong said, looking at Lin Shiyin.

At this moment, Xie Yingying and the others were also walking over.

Ye Chen didn’t want everyone to see the scene and tried to block it with his body.

But it was useless, Xie Yingying still saw him.

"Brother Ye Chen, where did you find that pianist just now? It was so amazing!"

Xie Yingying said excitedly.

Ye Chen looked somewhat sullen; he certainly couldn’t reveal the truth.

Otherwise, this girl would definitely have endless questions.

Seeing Wu Tong’s hostility towards him, he knew the other party would inevitably speak up.

In that case, it would still be exposed.

Wu Tong was about to speak up when Lin Shiyin shot him a glare, signaling him not to speak.

Wu Tong always listened obediently to Lin Shiyin.

He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

However, he wanted to see how Ye Chen would answer this question.

Wu Tong looked at Ye Chen with a mocking expression, eager to watch the fun.

At this moment, Ye Chen felt extremely frustrated, not knowing how to respond.

"Brother Ye Chen, why aren’t you saying anything? I also want to meet that person."

Xie Yingying spoke up again.

"Well..."

Just as Ye Chen hesitated, Lin Shiyin suddenly spoke up.

"Ye Chen just asked me for help to go on stage and play the piano to rescue the situation."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting looked a bit surprised.

"Shiyin Senior, I didn’t expect to see you here."

Everyone turned to look at Lin Shiyin, knowing that this beautiful and talented senior was rarely seen.

Primarily because she didn’t often come to school, working at her family’s company.

She was considered a legendary figure.

Everyone wanted to see her, but it was not that easy.

Seeing her today was considered very fortunate.

"Yeah, because I’m quite familiar with Ye Chen, he called me for help just moments ago, so I came."

When Lin Shiyin said this, her expression was very natural, showing no signs of lying.

"No wonder, once I heard that piano sound, I knew it came from a professional, much better than the previous player."

Liu Tingting smiled and praised.

Wu Tong, meanwhile, was a bit anxious.

"Shiyin, you..."

"Wu Tong, this is none of your business here, you’d better watch your mouth."

Though smiling, Lin Shiyin’s tone carried an unmistakable threat.

Wu Tong felt somewhat frustrated, as Lin Shiyin had already scolded him for Ye Chen several times.

Such a situation had never occurred before.

At this moment, Wu Tong felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Brother Ye Chen, you really are something, keeping us worried for so long without saying a word earlier."

Liu Tingting frowned and said.

"Tingting, how can you say that about Brother Ye Chen? Without him, we would have embarrassed ourselves on stage."

Xie Yingying said with a displeased expression.

She allowed no one to criticize Ye Chen, not even her best friend.

Ye Chen didn’t expect the two young girls to have a slight conflict because of him.

"I mainly didn’t know where Shiyin was, but luckily she was at school, or else I’d be truly helpless."

Ye Chen scratched his head and said shyly.

"Yes, it seems like it was destined, when Ye Chen called me, I happened to be nearby, so I was able to come to help."

As Lin Shiyin said this, she winked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn’t expect Lin Shiyin to willingly help him.

He had been preparing some other excuses, but now the problem was solved.

He could tell that Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting genuinely believed her.

Standing aside, Wu Tong listened to their conversation, feeling his lungs about to explode from anger.

He had always trailed behind Lin Shiyin like a fawning dog, while she treated him indifferently.

Now, she was so enthusiastic toward a mere delivery guy.

Wu Tong knew that although Lin Shiyin was entrusted by Professor Zhang, it wasn’t to such an extent.

Not only did she initiate a chat, but she also helped Ye Chen out of awkardness.

Seeing Wu Tong’s ugly expression, Lin Shiyin knew staying here would lead him to mess things up.

She promptly smiled and said, "Junior sisters, I have something to discuss with Ye Chen, so I’ll take my leave first."

When Lin Shiyin said this, she glanced at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen understood and nodded.

"Ah, Brother Ye Chen, you’re leaving so soon?" Xie Yingying asked in surprise.

"What, do you need something, Yingying?" asked Ye Chen.

"Oh, no, nothing much."

Watching Ye Chen leave with Lin Shiyin, Xie Yingying felt an indescribable sadness.

Originally, she wanted Ye Chen to witness her highlight moment.

But unexpectedly, Lin Shiyin showed up here.

Lin Shiyin’s beauty and talent made her feel inadequate.

Even girls blushed before Lin Shiyin, being deeply attracted to her beauty.

Xie Yingying wanted to ask how Ye Chen felt about her performance.

Before she could ask, she saw Ye Chen leaving with Lin Shiyin.

Xie Yingying had originally thought Ye Chen had a crush on Lin Shiyin.

Since arriving backstage, she had been feeling gloomy.

"Yingying, why are you so down? Our performance was such a success, our dance in sync with Shiyin’s piano was fantastic."

Liu Tingting said with a face of delight.

Xie Yingying wasn’t in the mood to listen; she was thinking if Ye Chen liked Lin Shiyin, or maybe their relationship was special.

Otherwise, why would such a proud goddess agree to help Ye Chen? She became more and more annoyed, slumping onto the table.

Seeing her friend not responding, Liu Tingting stopped speaking.

They’d already had a slight tiff earlier, so her friend wasn’t going to respond.

Suddenly, Liu Tingting seemed to recall something and asked.

"Yingying, are you unhappy because Ye Chen and Lin Shiyin left together?"

Xie Yingying didn’t speak, just nodded.

She knew that no matter how unhappy she was, there was nothing she could do. The gap between her and Lin Shiyin was like that between an ugly duckling and a swan.
