Chapter 6 - Preparing For The Compet.i.tion

If it she could, Gu Qingyu really wanted to give him a big slap over the face, sending him flying through the roof that he can't even pull himself out.

But, Gu Qingyu once more thought about the gap between them, in the end, she just quietly left to practice her zither skills……

So many troublesome things to do, one after another, sigh~

As Gu Qingyu arrived at the Zither Hall, another elder sister was already inside.

"My goodness, since when did younger sister get interested in the zither?" She faintly chuckled, "But, I think younger sister should do something that's within your capabilities instead……"

Gu Qingyu let out a large smile, "Sis, rest a.s.sured! I'm not going to overdo it!" She paused, then continued, "Mm, with my skills, getting that number one something is absolutely no problem! Elder sister must come and watch!"

That young lady seemed she didn't expect that Gu Qingyu would reply like so, but she recovered quickly, "Don't worry, sister will definitely come and watch, with my eyes open widely. So I can see exactly how younger sister will seize the champions.h.i.+p."

Gu Qingyu smiled as if pleased, "Then I shall express my grat.i.tude to elder sister first!"

Seize the champions.h.i.+p, and escape from here!

This turned into Gu Qingyu's sole objective.

Afternoon.

The sun lazily shone over the trees, and the light illuminated on the ground through the leaves.

Feeling depressed, Gu Qingyu sat in a pavilion staring at the jewel-green and crystalline water.

The lotus flowers stood tall and beautiful, and the lotus leaves swayed unbothered in the pond.

Everything was pleasant to look at, but Gu Qingyu's mood was still extremely gloomy.

"Sigh, what should I perform……" Gu Qingyu sighed again.

"Young miss," Xiao Qi carried a bowl of fruits, "Here, have some fruit."

"You eat, I'm not in the mood……" Gu Qingyu sighed for the 'X'th time, "If we were in the modern times, it wouldn't be this frustrating……"

"Young miss, what's 'modern times'" Xiao Qi looked questionably at Gu Qingyu, "Let's just eat some fruit!"

Gu Qingyu's eyes suddenly flickered, "Xiao Qi, what did you just say?!"

"Let's just eat some fruit……" Xiao Qi innocently repeated once again.

Gu Qingyu shook her head, "Nonono……before that!"

"Here, have some fruit?" Xiao Qi asked hesitantly.

"After that!"

"Young miss, what's modern times?"

"YES! That's it!!" Gu Qingyu clapped her hands, "Thanks, Xiao Qi! I know exactly what I'm going to perform now!!"

She quickly ran back to her room like a wisp of smoke, and started to plan something.

"Young miss, your fruits……" Xiao Qi helplessly shut close the door, and decided to eat the fruit by herself in the end……

Next day.

Gu Qingyu skipped and bounced out of her room, she decided to take a scroll around the courtyard. After all, the time for the compet.i.tion was just around the corner; It's always good to relax and loosen up first!

Who would have thought that, once she arrived at the courtyard, there was already someone there!

Dressed in blue clothing, his black hair floated lightly in the air.

Extraordinary aura, cold and devilishly charming.

Gu Qingyu stared absent-mindedly at him, and decided to walk up. She stealthily slipped behind his body, and planned to surprise him(Are you sure it's not to frighten?), who knows……

"Hey." He turned around, "What are you doing?"

"Eeee……So embarra.s.sing!" Gu Qingyu's hand awkwardly hung in the air, she quickly did a dab, which was all the rage in the modern world. She feigned ignorance and withdrew her hand, swiftly changing the topic, "Cough cough! Jia Qizhe, just a question, have you finished preparing yet?"

"Prepare for what?" Jia Qizhe asked confusingly.

"To help me escape obviously!" Gu Qingyu said as it was for granted.

"Then you'll have to win the compet.i.tion first." Jia Qizhe smiled.

Gu Qingyu smiled back at him, "Just you wait then!"

She strutted away, leaving Jia Qizhe alone and speechless at the courtyard……

The Performance Arts and Craftsmans.h.i.+p Compet.i.tion.

"Hoho~ So many people~" Gu Qingyu stared at the crowd, she couldn't help but get deeply moved, "Such a big exhibition! I wonder who it is that have so much free time and resources to arrange such an event……" Although she had better to thank that person properly! If it wasn't for this compet.i.tion, Jia Qizhe wouldn't take her along with him, right? Even though, Jia Qizhe had cheated on her before, she still deeply believed he wouldn't be a person that easily went back on his words.

"Excuse me, young lady, but what you just said, is not right!" A boy that seemed like one of the maintaining personnel, said unhappily, "Our family's young master holds this compet.i.tion every year, and the rewards for the girls that take the champions.h.i.+ps are also prepared from our house, the girls get to choose to either to get three wishes or a very valuable musical instrument. Completely depending on the victorious girls' requests, and it is also completely beneficial for all the literarily and artistically talented girls, as they get to perform on the platform. How can you say that it's all because we have nothing better to do?"

Gu Qingyu also approved of what he said, it totally made sense and justified, thus, she felt utterly apologetic and deeply bowed, "I'm so sorry, what I just said was wrong, I shouldn't have mocked your n.o.ble family."

The boy didn't feel to argue anymore as Gu Qingyu was being so sincere, "Don't mind it, young lady. Since you've apologized for what you said about our family, our young master is very kind, so he won't care much either. But, you should be a little careful when you're outside." He reminded her out of good intentions.

Un-un, thank you so much!" Gu Qingyu bowed once more.

"Don't mention it." The boy left.

Gu Qingyu gazed at his back and fell deeply in thoughts, "The host of the compet.i.tions' underlings are already so difficult to deal with, then wouldn't he, personally, be much more amazing?"

Sigh, forget about it, why should I care? It has nothing to do with me anyways!

Gu Qingyu swung her sleeves, and went to find a seat for herself.

The compet.i.tion was about to start.
