Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter Sixty-One: I'm Pleased With You, You Don't Know

Chapter 61: Delighting the Heart, Unbeknownst to You

"Wait."

Suddenly, Yun Lianxing shouted from behind. Li Mubai stopped and saw Yun Lianxing running towards him, even taking out the car keys.

Looking at Li Mubai with a puzzled expression, Yun Lianxing seemed a bit nervous and pleaded in a consultative tone, "Mubai, from now until tonight, let me follow you..."

With a slight smile, Li Mubai reassured Yun Lianxing, "I'm really fine, I'm not lying to you."

However, Yun Lianxing's expression remained unchanged, still looking at him with expectation.

Although Li Mubai usually keeps a low profile at the Jiuzhou Academy of Arts, everyone in the academy knows him.

Because Li Mubai has been the school's heartthrob for four years in a row.

And he has always been ranked first.

There is no second.

In the vast academy of arts, it is universally acknowledged that no one can compare to Li Mubai in terms of looks.

Furthermore, today is the last day of the holiday, and there is a school anniversary celebration and a welcoming party in the evening. The students must have already returned to campus.

So, if Yun Lianxing walks with him on campus, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and criticism.

What Li Mubai wants most now is this kind of attention and criticism.

Why would he refuse such a stroke of good luck?

"Okay, but I might be a bit busy and won't be able to pay attention to you."

"It's okay." Yun Lianxing didn't mind and smiled, "Mubai, you focus on your own things, I... I just want to watch you from afar..."

She didn't finish the second half of the sentence.

She didn't dare to say it...

Because she was afraid, afraid that Li Mubai would misunderstand and distance himself from her.

Yun Lianxing even felt that if Li Mubai knew even a hint of her true thoughts, he would probably... immediately cut off all contact with her.

The mountain has trees, but the trees have no branches.

Delighting the heart, but the heart is unaware.

Not knowing is the best. Yun Lianxing didn't dare to expect any response from Li Mubai, nor did she want any response from him.

Just watching from afar is the best.

Li Mubai didn't know what Yun Lianxing was thinking, but he was indeed busy next.

The sheet music was handed over, and he himself hadn't shown up to sing that song even once, which was a bit unfair.

Although Li Mubai didn't plan to participate in any rehearsals, he still had to make an appearance.

He walked straight towards the school auditorium, and from a distance, he could see the closed doors of the auditorium, with a few student council members with red ribbons tied around their arms standing at the entrance to maintain order.

During the anniversary celebration, there might be school leaders inside, and ordinary students would definitely not be allowed in.

Li Mubai walked ahead, with Yun Lianxing following behind.

From a distance, the female members of the student council had their eyes on Li Mubai.

And then...

They looked at Yun Lianxing behind Li Mubai with great displeasure.

When Li Mubai reached the top of the stairs, the female members of the student council smiled and said, "Li Mubai, you're here?"

Li Mubai nodded and smiled, "Yes."

"Come in quickly. The students from the music club are in the third lounge backstage. Good luck tonight. By the way... I really like the song you wrote. Mubai, you will definitely become a great singer in the future."

"Thank you."

Yun Lianxing, who was following behind, stared at Li Mubai's back with dissatisfaction.

The next second, Li Mubai walked inside, and Yun Lianxing also stepped onto the top of the stairs.

"Excuse me, are you a student from our school? Show me your student ID. Also, you need an access pass to enter the auditorium before 8 o'clock tonight," the female members of the student council blocked Yun Lianxing.

Yun Lianxing widened her innocent eyes, clearly a little stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she had been stopped by someone.

Although this experience was novel, the difference in treatment between Li Mubai and her was too great...

Moreover, she and Li Mubai were together the whole time. Obviously, they were together, right?

"I... I'm with him," Yun Lianxing pointed at Li Mubai who was walking inside.

The female members of the student council obviously knew this fact but continued to block Yun Lianxing.

Li Mubai quickly turned around and stood beside Yun Lianxing, looking at the female members of the student council, he said, "Um, she really came with me. We still need her to check the sheet music."

"Oh, I see. Mubai, you can take her in then."

As Li Mubai turned his head back, the female members of the student council immediately showed gentle smiles again.

The speed at which they changed their attitude was astonishing.

Following Li Mubai, Yun Lianxing gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes.

It was obvious that these people were targeting her and lusting after Li Mubai's body!

They were despicable!

"Ding! Yun Lianxing's luck is increased by +2, and her luck value is +2. The protagonist Ye Feng's luck value is decreased by -2!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward of 200 yuan!"

Feeling Yun Lianxing's gaze behind him and hearing the system prompt, Li Mubai felt extremely satisfied.

The rehearsal was still ongoing, and Li Mubai led Yun Lianxing directly to the backstage from the edge.

The facilities in the auditorium of the Art University were extremely well-equipped, with dressing rooms, restrooms, and lounges... everything you could imagine.

And different departments had their own dedicated rooms.

The third lounge mentioned by the female member of the student council at the entrance was specifically for music students, and the room was very spacious.

"Mubai... why didn't you change your clothes before coming?"

Sitting at the entrance was a senior sister from the composition department. She wore a pair of square-framed glasses on her nose, dressed casually. A few strands of smooth hair were messy on her clean forehead, and her overall facial lines were very soft, without any flaws.

Although she wasn't as stunning as Yun Lianxing or Lin Jiayin, she was pleasant to look at, at least an 85 out of 100.

Most importantly... 36D.

[Song Xingyu]

Age: 23

Identity: Supporting character

Appearance: 89

Figure: 94

Special: 93

Fortune: 55

Weakness: Obsessed with sheet music, stubborn, timid.

Song Xingyu was from the composition department, a senior in her fifth year. The composition and composition theory major usually takes five years to complete.

Li Mubai and Song Xingyu had barely spoken to each other, not even friends, but they were both in the same music department, attending classes in the same building. Sometimes they would even be in the same classroom for shared courses.

So they only knew each other's names.

Li Mubai looked at himself. Indeed, he wasn't dressed grandly enough, after all, he was going to perform tonight.

"I just came back to school and didn't have time to go back to the dorm to change..."

Yun Lianxing glanced at Song Xingyu behind Li Mubai, then lowered his head to look at himself, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

"Ding! Yun Lianxing's fortune blessing +3, Yun Lianxing's fortune value +3 [protagonist Ye Feng's fortune value -3]!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a 300 yuan reward!"

Song Xingyu nodded obediently, glanced at Li Mubai, but didn't say anything more...

If she had to be given a nickname.

Li Mubai felt that Song Xingyu was the kind of reserved and introverted man from his past life.

Calm on the outside, but wild on the inside... a quiet SP.

If it weren't for Yun Lianxing here, Li Mubai would have wanted to brush for rewards.

"The song you wrote... I think it's very good."

"Thank you..." Li Mubai politely smiled.

Song Xingyu sighed lightly, looking at Li Mubai with tenderness in her eyes.

There were many other music department students present, and when they saw Li Mubai enter, all their gazes focused on him.

The boys were either envious, admiring, or... sympathetic.

The girls were mostly fanatical.

Li Mubai was used to this, walked towards Song Xingyu's side, and found a seat.

Song Xingyu was the conductor of the orchestra.

The conductor was a pivotal figure in an orchestra, the god of the entire band. The tempo and performance effect of a piece of music were mostly determined by the conductor.

And Li Mubai was the singer of this song, so this song was more like a collaboration between the two of them.

Li Mubai had seen Song Xingyu conduct before. She was the type of conductor who was rough and not polite to the musicians below, unreasonable. She was just in a low valley, but instantly soared to the sky.

This person was obsessed with sheet music. Basically, if she had a favorite score in her hand, she could sit there for thirty or forty hours without eating.

"What do you need me to cooperate with you on?" Li Mubai asked, looking at the sheet music.

Song Xingyu's eyes instantly brightened. "I want the entire piece to be transposed up by one key, and here... add an extra half key."

Looking at the part where Song Xingyu pointed to the climax, Li Mubai's mouth twitched...

The highest note he chose for this song was an F, although the key wasn't particularly high, this song was very demanding in terms of endurance and breath control...

Adding another key would be a huge burden on his voice.

Although Li Mubai had a prop card that could definitely help him, his body was his own!

It seemed that Song Xingyu was not only rough with the musicians, but also rough with the singers.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mubai gritted his teeth and nodded.

The more intense the emotions in the song, the higher the possible rewards...

"And here... I will..."

Yun Lianxing watched as Li Mubai and Song Xingyu leaned in together, a vague and indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

If Li Mubai really gave up on her sister...

Then she...

Must protect Li Mubai!

She must not let other seductive women steal him away!

Not even Lin Jiayin!
