Chapter 057
Although Yan Jin hadn’t formally heard Yu Shu sing or seen him dance since she transmigrated, she had watched a stage performance of Yu Shu on her mother’s phone during a vacation before transmigrating.
Yan Jin was tone-deaf and didn’t understand music, but she could still discern whether a tune was pleasant to the ear or not.
As soon as she heard Yu Shu sing the first line, Yan Jin felt that his singing skill must have been maxed out at birth, otherwise how could it sound so good that after just one line, it made her, who was usually uninterested in music, curiously look at her mother’s phone.
The song Yu Shu sang was about a pair of star-crossed lovers who eventually disappeared into the vast sea of people. After singing the chorus, Yu Shu also danced for a segment.
At that time, Yu Shu was not yet an adult, his face still carrying a bit of baby fat, exquisite like a doll. The look in his eyes towards the camera was sorrowful and reluctant, his eyes shrouded in mist but not shedding tears. Until the ending, the teardrop that Yu Shu had been holding in his eye socket finally fell from his thick eyelashes.
Originally, Yan Jin didn’t have much interest in dance and her appreciation ability in this area was not very good. But watching Yu Shu dance, Yan Jin surprisingly empathized, feeling the emotions Yu Shu conveyed through his dance.
After watching the video, Yan Jin’s mother was moved to tears. Although Yan Jin didn’t cry, she felt empty inside, as if she also had such a lover whom she loved but couldn’t have, and could only helplessly let go in the end.
Yan Jin’s mother said while crying, “Xiaoxiao, look how well our baby dances, he’s really a gift from the heavens.”
At that time, Yan Jin still retorted in her heart: He’s more like the heavens are chasing after him to feed him.
Although Yan Jin had a deep impression of this stage performance by Yu Shu, she hurriedly went back to continue working the night she finished watching this video. Later, she became busy with work and gradually threw the shock she felt at the time to the back of her mind.
But some memories still remained in Yan Jin’s heart, so when she first met Yu Shu in reality, Yan Jin felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
“Hey, I say,” Tu Zixuan poked Yan Jin, “A Jin, I know you have a good relationship with that Young Master Yu, but there’s no need to smile so happily just because I mentioned him, right?”
Yan Jin glanced at Tu Zixuan, “He’s my friend, it’s normal for me to smile when you praise him.”
Thinking of how Yu Shu would definitely come over to show off to her like a little kitten who had great success on its first hunt, after being praised by the teacher, hinting at her to also praise him, the corners of Yan Jin’s lips lifted even higher.
Cute and round.
How can there be such a cute boy?
Tu Zixuan asked, “Then if I was praised by the teacher, would A Jin also smile so happily?”
“If the teacher praised you, why would I smile very happily?” Yan Jin asked in surprise, “It’s certainly nice to be praised by the teacher, but we’re all adults. Wouldn’t it be a bit childish to be so visibly happy over such a small thing?”
[Hateful that there are no cameras in An Guo, otherwise Classmate Zhoubi could have taken a picture of how gleefully Yan Jin was smiling just now.] [Yan Jin: Adults being visibly happy, childish. Yan Jin who heard someone praise Yu Shu: The smile never left her face.]“Valuing love over friendship!” Tu Zixuan lamented with a pained expression, “A Jin, you really value love over friendship!”
Yan Jin didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she just said, but after Zhou Nongyun found out about this, she also joined Tu Zixuan in sighing “A Jin you really value love over friendship” on the way to the classroom.
If class wasn’t starting soon, these two might have continued singing in rounds by Yan Jin’s ears.
The teacher for this class was a kind-looking middle-aged woman. Upon seeing Yan Jin, she smiled and said, “Student Yan, I’ve seen your entrance exam papers, you did quite well. Keep up the good work.”
Perhaps it was because the teacher seemed to have a very good temper, so the students weren’t afraid of her. Even during class time, most students were being playful, and the classroom atmosphere was quite lively.
Occasionally, the teacher would call for silence, and the students would quiet down for a bit, but within a few seconds, the classroom would become noisy again.
Yan Jin silently brushed off the paper plane that flew onto her head and continued to diligently take notes.
At first, when Zhou Nongyun and Tu Zixuan saw Yan Jin listening attentively in class, they also stopped slacking off and listened to the teacher’s lecture together with Yan Jin.
But before Yan Jin arrived, the two of them were also part of the playful students. So after persisting for not long, the joy of playing around overcame the “torment” of friendship, and they began to slack off.
In the entire class, only a few people were concentrating on the lecture, and Yan Jin was one of them.
