"It's Yu Caiwei!"
Yang Hongwei whispered. The two, who had been arm-in-arm, quickly became more reserved. As Yu Caiwei approached, the three roommates grew nervous.
"She's coming, she's walking over!"
Ignoring the gazes of everyone, both overt and subtle, Yu Caiwei, with her long legs, had already walked up to the bewildered Ye Zhiqiu.
"May I chat with you?"
Her voice was truly beautiful, as clear and melodious as pearls dropping onto a jade plate.
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized, glancing left and right. His three buddies in the dorm were also staring intently at him, with inscrutable expressions.
A silence fell over the surroundings, and the scene became eerily quiet.
This beauty is looking for me? It took Ye Zhiqiu a full two seconds to process it.
The beautiful woman in front of him had a serene expression, quietly waiting for Ye Zhiqiu's reply, her expressive eyes looking at him.
For a moment, Ye Zhiqiu wondered if he was seeing things, but he seemed to catch a hint of slight annoyance deep in her eyes.
"Oh, sure."
Although a bit baffled, Ye Zhiqiu answered casually.
It was dinnertime after class, but many people passing by unconsciously slowed their steps, their eyes constantly glancing at Yu Caiwei, who was like the moon surrounded by stars.
Seemingly catching a hint of displeasure and helplessness deep in Yu Caiwei's eyes, Ye Zhiqiu looked around, then subtly tilted his chin towards an antique-style pavilion for rest not far away and said, "Let's talk over there."
Yu Caiwei glanced at it, didn't refuse, and walked towards it first.
The breeze stirred her long hair, which was gilded by the sunlight, and her clothes fluttered, giving her a cool and aloof aura.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh again. The beauty and temperament of this woman in front of him would definitely place her among the top tier of female stars in his previous life.
Ignoring the intense gossip in the eyes of his three roommates, Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward to follow her.
In the short distance of a dozen meters, Ye Zhiqiu was also wondering why this beauty was looking for him.
Did he know her?
Thinking about it, it seemed he did, but he was certain there wasn't any particularly deep relationship, otherwise, the impression wouldn't be so vague.
While pondering, Ye Zhiqiu's gaze unintentionally swept over Yu Caiwei's back, and he was immediately fixated.
Unlike her front, her slender and graceful back was another kind of scenery, and what was most attractive were those long legs tightly wrapped in slim-fit casual pants...
His gaze followed up from her fair ankles: her calves were slender and straight, her thighs full and well-proportioned, just right. Further up, it outlined a striking curve...
At this moment, Yu Caiwei, perhaps sensing the gaze from behind, subtly shivered and quickened her pace.
Ye Zhiqiu felt his nostrils getting a bit warm and quickly averted his gaze. Honestly, he had only been admiring her purely.
The dozen-meter distance quickly ended. Yu Caiwei, her cheeks slightly flushed, didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Chen Yuan has withdrawn from the graduation party and your duet performance."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, then quickly understood.
Chen Yuan was the name of his green tea ex-girlfriend.
Yu Caiwei was referring to Huahai Media University's graduation party in two weeks. Usually, the annual graduation party is organized by the campus literary association, guided by faculty advisors, and Yu Caiwei was the nominal head of the literary association.
Huahai Media University's annual graduation party for its graduates is always grand. The party is usually held in the first semester of the senior year when classes are still in session, and most students are still on campus. By the second semester, many students have already gone out for internships, making it difficult to gather everyone.
More importantly, many outstanding alumni such as stars, directors, and media moguls have emerged from Huahai Media University, and many of them return to campus to observe the graduation party, making it a good opportunity for current students to showcase themselves to various sectors of society.
After all, if an outstanding alumnus takes notice and offers a slight promotion, one's career might advance by ten years.
His cheap ex-girlfriend, Chen Yuan, might be a green tea, but as an art student, she had some professional skill. The two originally had a collaborative singing and playing performance at the graduation party, but Chen Yuan, now wanting to distance herself from Ye Zhiqiu, decisively and unilaterally announced her withdrawal from the performance.
After all, in her opinion, with her debut imminent, the opportunity to perform at the graduation party was expendable. If she performed with a male student, a "scandal" might easily displease the sugar daddy behind her.
Yu Caiwei continued to ask, "Do you have any other partners for the performance?"
Ye Zhiqiu answered without hesitation, "No."
Given his narrow social circle in his previous life, his closest friends at school were just his roommates, but none of those guys were Singers.
The key thing was, an originally attractive male-female duo wouldn't work if it became two men. Imagine two grown men performing on stage, playing instruments in harmony and gazing deeply into each other's eyes...
Yu Caiwei's eyes, like autumn water, were calm, as if she had already guessed Ye Zhiqiu's answer. She continued, "Time is tight now. The school advisor's intention is that if the performance can be completed, the act can be kept; otherwise, it will have to be canceled, especially since many outstanding alumni will be returning to campus to observe this time."
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and understood his predicament.
That Chen Yuan had indeed left him with a difficult problem! Actually, according to Ye Zhiqiu's original thoughts, he didn't care whether he participated in this graduation party performance or not.
But now, the matter of his predecessor being dumped by Chen Yuan seemed to be common knowledge, and the other party had unilaterally announced her withdrawal. If he were also forced to withdraw because of this, it would feel a bit like being toyed with...
Ye Zhiqiu, in a dilemma, fell silent. Yu Caiwei's autumn-water eyes flickered slightly, and her light red lips parted. She said, "If you don't have a partner, I can..."
"Can I perform solo?"
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu spoke, and Yu Caiwei was slightly stunned, swallowing the words she hadn't finished.
"Yes, this was originally a singing and playing act, and there's no rule that it has to be two people."
"You want to perform solo?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, his expression relaxed, "I don't know any other suitable female Singers in the school either. Finding someone to collaborate with temporarily might lack chemistry and be more likely to mess up. So, I might as well sing solo."
This time, it was Yu Caiwei who fell silent, her beautiful eyes quietly looking at Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu's words were a bit unexpected to her.
The Ye Zhiqiu she knew before didn't talk much, was a bit reserved, and seemed to have no other girls in his eyes besides Chen Yuan, who he had already broken up with.
But the confident and easygoing expression of the Ye Zhiqiu in front of her was something she had never seen before. Just the change in his temperament made him seem like a different person, making her eyes light up.
Her beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, then Yu Caiwei came back to herself and softly said, "That song isn't suitable for a male to sing."
This was not a problem at all. Ye Zhiqiu said without much thought, "Then I'll change it. I'll sing an original song."
This time, Ye Zhiqiu could clearly see the surprise in Yu Caiwei's expressive eyes.
Before the other party could speak, Ye Zhiqiu spoke first, "Minister Yu, don't worry, it's just a simple graduation song, I won't mess it up."
Looking at Ye Zhiqiu's calm and confident expression, Yu Caiwei, for some reason, chose to believe him.
"Okay."
"I'll talk to the school advisor about it."
