Chapter 100 - 97 Full of Enthusiasm_i

Having Gu Xi around often meant trouble, so why not let her solve the trouble?

This is what they call fighting fire with fire!

Lin Yuan considered himself quite smart.

And indeed, with Gu Xi joining the team, their efficiency noticeably increased.

Before, these music composition students had had to rely solely on Lin Yuan for all the piano accompaniments, which was quite burdensome for him.

Now, with Gu Xi’s arrival, she directly helped Lin Yuan bear more than half of the workload, to the extent that Lin Yuan could occasionally take a little break when he got tired.

“Gu Xi, you should take a break too.”

Seeing Gu Xi busy at work, the composition students felt a bit embarrassed.

No one expected that Gu Xi would be so passionate.

Not only was she willing to help everyone play the accompaniment, but she also put in a lot of effort, seldom taking any rest!

At the same time, her attitude towards everyone was very friendly, with no pride or coldness at all.

“I’m not tired.”

Gu Xi answered with a smile.

Of course, not feeling tired was impossible, given the number of people needing help, even the highest level pianist would feel weary!

But compared to her physical fatigue, mentally, Gu Xi was unprecedentedly excited—

Maestro asked for her help!

Just saying Lin Yuan asked her to play the piano would have been enough.

Even if Lin Yuan asked her to help him move bricks, she, Gu Xi, would definitely roll up her sleeves and get to work without a second thought!

Being needed by Maestro was an honor for her.

In the music circle, countless people were scrambling to help Maestro, yet had no chance to do so!

Moreover, for Gu Xi, this was an opportunity she had always dreamt of.

An opportunity to get close to Lin Yuan!

An opportunity to win over Lin Yuan!

So, Gu Xi even felt a bit grateful to these composition students, if not for their help, Lin Yuan might not have needed her.

What she feared was not getting tired.

What she feared was being worthless in Maestro’s eyes, how could the Maestro favor someone worthless?

During this process,

the composition students were whispering among themselves:

“The rumors were terribly wrong.”

“Gu Xi is actually very approachable.”

“She feels as warm as Lin Yuan.”

“Maybe excellent people aren’t as standoffish as we imagined. Remember when Lin Yuan first transferred to the composition department? We all thought he was a very aloof person until we got to know him and realized that Lin Yuan is actually very nice.”

These words came to Gu Xi’s ears in bits and pieces, making her mood even more delightful.

In this way, she should have been able to slightly reverse her bad image in Lin Yuan’s mind, right?

She stole a glance at Lin Yuan’s reaction.

Lin Yuan was comfortably and leisurely sitting in his chair resting, seemingly quite satisfied with her ability and attitude?

This gave Gu Xi even more motivation!

Of course,

some students had faintly guessed that Gu Xi’s willingness to help might be because of Lin Yuan, so someone quietly asked Lin Yuan why Gu Xi would be willing to help.

Lin Yuan shook his head.

How would he know what Gu Xi was thinking?

All he knew was that Gu Xi had said before, if there was anything he needed, he could just ask.

For such a thing, Lin Yuan wasn’t surprised.

Because he often heard similar statements.

Ever since his childhood, people around him often said so, and indeed, very few people refused his requests.

Because his classmates were so easygoing, Lin Yuan was also easygoing.

If others can help me easily, of course, I should also try to help others.

It wasn’t until eleven-forty.

Finally, someone proposed, “It’s getting late, let’s take a break and invite Lin Yuan and Gu Xi to dinner!”

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan was energized.

Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed, Gu Xi hurriedly nodded as well. How could she miss the chance to have dinner with Lin Yuan? “Thank you then.”

The campus had a cafeteria, and naturally, it also had a restaurant.

However, the restaurant was more expensive than the cafeteria.

To express their gratitude for Lin Yuan and Gu Xi’s help, the group would naturally not invite them to the cafeteria. Instead, they booked a table at the best restaurant in school and ordered some great dishes.

Lin Yuan ate very happily.

Toward the end of the meal, the restaurant served a variety of desserts.

Lin Yuan almost immediately set his eyes on the pudding jelly.

His favorite sweets were two kinds: ice cream and pudding jelly.

“This is their specialty.”

There were only two portions of pudding jelly. The classmates naturally wouldn’t fight over them. As they explained this, they gave the two portions of pudding jelly to Lin Yuan and Gu Xi, the two main characters at the table.

It was really delicious.

After happily finishing his strawberry-flavored pudding jelly, Lin Yuan was left wanting more.

The classmates on the side, naturally seeing that Lin Yuan really liked the pudding jelly, could only awkwardly laugh and say, “This pudding jelly is limited supply, they only make so much every day. We’ll buy it for you next time.”

“I haven’t eaten mine yet.”

Gu Xi almost subconsciously said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll give you mine to eat…”

The classmates around them turned to look at Gu Xi one after another.

At first their expressions were somewhat strange, but then they gradually cleared up.

So this Piano Goddess Gu Xi was just like the other girls in the class. Those girls always liked giving their favorite snacks to Lin Yuan.

Noticing the strange gazes around her, Gu Xi didn’t feel embarrassed.

What she cared about was only Maestro.

What’s there to care about other people’s gaze?

However, she was a bit flustered, reflecting inside, “Am I trying too hard?”

Lin Yuan said, “Alright.”

He happily accepted Gu Xi’s kindness.

Who on this world would reject ice cream and pudding jelly?

Gu Xi sighed in relief.

It seemed that Lin Yuan really enjoyed eating pudding jelly.

Right, he also liked ice cream, but last time she dared to fight with him for ice cream…

Isn’t living well?

After lunch, in the afternoon.

Lin Yuan and Gu Xi continued to help their classmates record piano accompaniment. They were busy until the evening when they finally finished everyone’s piano accompaniment.

Everyone thanked them profusely.

After everyone had left, Gu Xi slumped in her chair.

She was thoroughly exhausted from a day of hard work, but thinking about how her relationship with Lin Yuan had progressed a little, Gu Xi was once again filled with enthusiasm. She clenched her fist tightly.

“Hold on.”

“Don’t rush things!”

Gu Xi encouraged herself. Getting Maestro’s approval was a long journey, and Gu Xi had enough patience for it.

Meanwhile, deep within the Starlight company.

Sun Yaohuo, who was preparing to leave work, suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable crisis.

“Could it be that Jiang Kui is going to make a move?”

Sun Yaohuo prided himself on his sycophant skills, but the only time he failed was when he faced Jiang Kui.

He still couldn’t forget the scene of Jiang Kui buying all the milk tea flavors for Lin Yuan to this day.

“This is a formidable adversary.”

Sun Yaohuo too clenched his fist.
