Chapter 290


    Shi Jin picked up the microphone. Her voice carried an indistinct tone, as if it was trying to seduce


    people.


    "You ask me how much I love you,


    How much do I love you..."


    The mor below the stage calmed down as everyone sang along with her.


    The light was gentle and warm, like the afternoon sun in spring.


    Shi Jin finally saw Fu Xiuyuan standing quietly in the front row. The light shone on his well-defined


    face, casting a shadow over it.


    He stood tall and straight, making him stand out among the crowd. However, regardless of whether


    everyone was moring or singing, no one could affect him.


    His expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with fervor as he stared unblinkingly at the person


    on the stage. When he finally met Shi Jin''s eyes, his lips could not help but curl up.


    Shi Jin smiled as well. Her dark red lips had always been static, but at that moment, her red lips


    were curved and the long eyeliner at the corner of her eyes seemed to be curved as well.


    The big screen captured this scene at the right time, showing her smiling face to everyone.


    There was a series of screams from the fans below the stage. Some people started to scream


    crazily, "Shi Jin, Shi Jin..."


    Fu Xiuyuan''s ears were filled with these voices, but he could only see Shi Jin in his eyes and hear


    her moving voice.


    asionally, there would be people jostling around him, but he didn''t care at all. His gaze was only


    fixed on one person.


    After Shi Jin''s song ended, she quickly returned backstage, put down her microphone and earpiece,


    and turned to leave.


    She was swarmed by arge group of reporters, most of whom had rushed over from the


    competition venue. "Shi Jin, how did you feel during thepetition today? Will you be able to win


    an award?"


    "Were the questions difficult today? Can you share with us your study method?"


    "When you were singing ''The Moon Represents My Heart'' on stage earlier, why did you smile? Is


    there someone you like?"


    A cold look shed across Shi Jin''s eyes. She felt a tinge of impatience towards these reporters


    who had suddenly surrounded her.


    She looked up and saw Fu Xiuyuan striding over from afar. She raised her eyebrows slightly and


    said, "Yes, I have someone I like. That song was sung for him."


    "Who is he? Can you tell us?"


    "Shi Jin, are you in a rtionship?"


    "Shi Jin, can you share more about him with us?"


    Fu Xiuyuan and Yao Jiahong walked past the reporters and took a step forward. Yao Jiahong


    blocked all the reporters while Fu Xiuyuan quickly led her out of the crowd.


    By the time the reporters regained their senses, Fu Xiuyuan had already disappeared with Shi Jin.


    Yao Jiahong said to everyone with a good attitude, "If everyone wants to interview Shi Jin, we can


    arrange another time."


    All the reporters were extremely frustrated. Why hadn''t they taken a photo of that man just now? But


    everyone consoled themselves. Maybe it was just a bodyguard?


    When Shi Jin got into Fu Xiuyuan''s car, her breathing was a little hurried. It was really not easy to


    escape from the reporters.


    The car drove very quickly, racing forward.


    The summer air still held a hint of heat. Passing the other cars at high speed, it whipped against her


    face, but it left a little coolness too.


    Fu Xiuyuan''s slender fingers pressed against the steering wheel, his profile bing more and


    more three-dimensional, like a painstakingly drawn illustration.


    Shi Jin looked at his face and suddenly felt that the song she sang tonight had not been enough. As


    she thought about this, music kept streaming through her mind.


    "You want me to sing to you


    Take the time to be young


    Let the flowers bloom as they please


    Give me a little of your time


    Who could rece you? "


    Upon hearing Shi Jin''s voice, Fu Xiuyuan''s hand paused on the steering wheel for a few seconds


    before he let out a deep and clearugh which mixed into her lyrics.


    Shi Jin changed her tune.


    "You know even if the downpour turns this city upside down


    I will embrace you


    I can''t stand seeing your back


    My every second is as unbearable as enduring a full year.


    The more she sang, the more indescribable emotions surged in her heart.


    It was as if they had all umted together, as if the shackles in her heart had been released and


    everything was being reborn.


    Her hair fluttered in the wind, just like her mood. She hooked her fingers through her hair and


    remembered another song. She sang it out:


    "If I had to live my life without you near me


    The days would all be empty


    The nights would seem so long


    You I see forever, oh so clearly


    I might have been in love before


    But I''ve never felt this strong"


    The car stopped at an empty spot. Her singing had not stopped.


    Fu Xiuyuan ced his left hand on the steering wheel and reached out his right hand to pinch her


    chin. He shifted her face over and met her eyes.


    Shi Jin could not help butugh, and her singing stopped.


    "Why aren''t you singing anymore?"


    "It''s more important to look at the person in front of me."


    Fu Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to her. "Does he look good?"


    "Very."


    "You can see more." His lips were close, right in front of her.


    The hot air that came out of his mouth had a cold, pine-like smell. It wasplicated but pleasant.


    Shi Jin took the initiative to kiss him. And he kissed her back passionately.


    ***


    At night.


    Chu Jia was meeting a friend to celebrate her college entrance examination results.


    With the help of Shi Xuexin''s teacher, she was transferred to another high school. This time, her


    college entrance examination score was slightly above 500 points.


    This result was not worth mentioning in Second High School. However, in the high school that she


    was currently in, which was not very good to begin with, it was worth a good deal.


    With this result, she was very outstanding at the school. Furthermore, Shi Xuexin had used her


    connections in school to help her choose a film academy. Her future prospects were limitless.


    Compared to Shi Jin''s unspeakable results, this score was indeed worth celebrating. Even Chu Ling


    was there to celebrate for her.


    Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia had been setting up the celebration venue all day. Until now, they had not


    paid attention to Shi Jin''s participation in the internationalpetition on Weibo.


    Everyone was praising Chu Jia.


    "Jia Jia, you''re not bad, huh? Getting into a film academy this time and bing a big star. Don''t


    forget us old friends."


    Chu Jia held her wine ss and smiled. "How could I? We are friends for life."


    Shi Xuexin smiled and said, "When you are in the entertainment industry and working with Brother


    Chu Ling, your future will be limitless."


    "Thank you for your kind words, Sister-inw." Chu Jia naturally knew what Shi Xuexin liked to hear.


    She called her sister-inw affectionately.


    Although Chu Ling hated it when people used him to gain attention, Chu Jia was his cousin, so their


    rtionship was naturally different. Moreover, the two families had a good rtionship. Chu Jia''s


    rtionship with him was iparable to Deng Yufei''s rtionship with him.


    "1 wonder how many points Shi Jin got?" someone gloated.


    "I heard that she didn''t do well. There''s no news from Second High."


    Someone whispered, "But I heard that there''s no news from Second High School because Principal


    Lu is still persuading Shi Jin to apply for a better school. Is that why he deliberately suppressed her


    results and didn''t announce them to the public?"


    Someone immediately retorted, "How is that possible? If she really did well, would they not


    announce it?"


    When Chu Ling heard about Shi Jin, he tightened his grip on the wine ss.


    Speaking of which, it had indeed been a while since he had heard from Shi Jin. How was she...


    doing?


    When Shi Xuexin saw Chu Ling''s expression, she did not feel good. However, she perked up and


    said, "Don''t make wild guesses. Now that Shi Jin is sessful and famous, her results are no


    longer important to her. Actually, no matter what, as long as she lives well, there''s nothing to really


    say."


    This reminded Chu Ling that Shi Jin was different from before.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
