Chapter 353: s.h.i.+ Jin Was Worried

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

s.h.i.+ Jin guessed that it might be some kind of experimental drug that was hard to buy. Otherwise, Liu Ning wouldnt have bought it for Gu Jingyuan.

Probably because the company and the project were profitable and Gu Jingyuan didnt want money from Liu Ning, Liu Ning had bought him what he needed.

Gu Jingyuan took s.h.i.+ Jin into the laboratory and chatted with her about their recent experiments and the topic of extraction that she had just mentioned.

Before long, the afternoon pa.s.sed.

Lets have dinner at the laboratory tonight. Are you coming with me?

Okay. s.h.i.+ Jin still felt that she had not done enough and agreed readily.

Then, many people came out. There was the young man who had been to fetch s.h.i.+ Jin earlier, as well as other doctors and students in white coats.

Wow, Doctor Gu, is s.h.i.+ Jin really your younger sister? I thought that they were joking and that you were just a big fan. I didnt expect you to be her real big brother!

Doctor Gu, youre so mean. Why did you ask the third-rate boy to fetch s.h.i.+ Jin? Why didnt you ask me?

Look, Four-Eyes, if I had asked you to fetch her, would you have been able to find your way back? Dont you know that you have severe myopia? Youre almost blind after taking off your gla.s.ses, yet you still have the cheek to want to be entrusted with such an important task by Doctor Gu.

Everyone was teasing each other, but Four-Eyes didnt get angry.

They wanted to take a photo together, and s.h.i.+ Jin did not reject them. She took a photo with them and even patiently did some autographs for them.

Everyone knew their limits and settled down after a while. They left the school together and headed for the restaurant outside.

Everyone was afraid that s.h.i.+ Jin would be chased by reporters and paparazzi. They surrounded her and subconsciously formed a circle to protect her. There was only one person who remained calm and did not ask for s.h.i.+ Jins signature.

When they reached the dining area, he looked down at his phone.

Alright, Wei Zai, lets toast. To all good sisters like s.h.i.+ Jin! The four-eyed man took a photo of the person who was looking at his phone.

Wei Zai raised his head, picked up his wine gla.s.s, and drank with everyone else before continuing to look down at his phone.

Someone asked, What exactly are you looking at? Youve been distracted all afternoon, and now youre looking at it again.

Could he be watching s.h.i.+ Xuexins compet.i.tion again? How many times have you watched the video of s.h.i.+ Xuexin taking fourth place in the National Piano Compet.i.tion?

Wei Zai put down his phone and said, Its different this time. Its not the National Piano Compet.i.tion, but the Ivy League International Piano Composer Tournament. This is an original composition compet.i.tion. Only very talented players who can compose cla.s.sical music can partic.i.p.ate in it. Its even harder to get a place.

After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that no one would believe him, he immediately put his phone volume up and started playing some music.

This is s.h.i.+ Xuexins original cla.s.sical piece today. Isnt it amazing? Wei Zai said loudly.

Oh, its really not bad.

Not bad. No wonder youve always liked s.h.i.+ Xuexin.

But no matter how much you like her, you still have to eat, right?

Wei Zai was elated when he heard everyones comments. He glanced at s.h.i.+ Jin subconsciously.

Actually, no one from the laboratory was very interested in the entertainment industry. It was only because of Gu Jingyuans occasional presence that they knew about s.h.i.+ Jin. They knew nothing of the grudges between s.h.i.+ Jin and s.h.i.+ Xuexin.

However, Wei Zai was different. He knew all too well about the discord between s.h.i.+ Jin and s.h.i.+ Xuexin.

As s.h.i.+ Xuexins fanboy, he naturally thought that s.h.i.+ Jin was the one at fault. Hence, the first thing he did was look at s.h.i.+ Jins expression.

When s.h.i.+ Jin heard what he said, her expression did not change at first. Other people liked s.h.i.+ Xuexin openly, so there was nothing for her to mind. However, when she heard that familiar tune, her brows could not help but twitch.

Wei Zai immediately noticed the change in s.h.i.+ Jin. He thought to himself that she really was bothered!

That was understandable. No matter how well she did in the entertainment industry, how could she compare to s.h.i.+ Xuexins reputation in the piano world?

Playing and creating an original piano score were things that only those with true talent could master. It wasnt like those pop songs in the entertainment industry that could be easily written.

When she heard s.h.i.+ Xuexins music score, s.h.i.+ Jin became concerned!

Gu Jingyuan asked in a low voice, Is the air conditioner too cold? Ill dial it up.

No need, its nothing. The dishes are pretty good today. Big Brother, eat more.

When Wei Zai brought up this topic, someone asked, s.h.i.+ Xuexin partic.i.p.ated in both the Chopin piano compet.i.tion and the Ivy League compet.i.tion. Which compet.i.tion is more impressive?

Wei Zai glanced at s.h.i.+ Jin and said, The Chopin Piano Compet.i.tion is a worldwide compet.i.tion. Basically, those who can partic.i.p.ate in the semi-finals and finals are the top players of their own countries.

This time, s.h.i.+ Xuexin was ranked fourth in the country. Although she could not partic.i.p.ate in the semi-finals and finals in Warsaw, she was still one of the top players. Since she was ranked fourth in the country, everyone agreed with him.

As for the other one, its an original composition compet.i.tion. The Chopin piano compet.i.tion tests ones playing ability. This test not only relies on ones physical skills, but also ones ability to compose. Therefore, no matter how these two compet.i.tions go, s.h.i.+ Xuexin is especially impressive! Wei Zai emphasized.

Yes, yes, yes. The person that you like must be very powerful. No one had much of a relations.h.i.+p with him and s.h.i.+ Xuexin as they echoed his words.

s.h.i.+ Jins expression was indifferent. Gu Jingyuan glanced at Wei Zai but said nothing.

No one else noticed the change in s.h.i.+ Jin. Everyone was laughing and the scene was very lively.

After dinner, everyone dispersed. Some went back to the laboratory, while others went home.

s.h.i.+ Jin did not ask Gu Jingyuan to see her off. She got into the nanny van that Xiao Li drove.

In the van, she opened the forum for Beijing University students and entered the gossip category.

Indeed, there were already videos of todays compet.i.tion up.

As expected, the video with the highest views was s.h.i.+ Xuexins performance.

Not only was her playing skill level professional, but her music score was also high cla.s.s. There were many supporters under the video and many fangirls and fans commenting. s.h.i.+ Jin listened to the familiar melody and closed her eyes.

When s.h.i.+ Xuexin and s.h.i.+ Baozhi left Beijing University, they saw s.h.i.+ Jin getting into the van. They exchanged glances.

s.h.i.+ Baozhi asked, Is that s.h.i.+ Jin?

I think so. s.h.i.+ Xuexin took a serious look as the vehicle left quickly.

Did she come to watch your performance?

s.h.i.+ Xuexin could not be sure. After all, it was not impossible for her to have been visiting Gu Jingyuan, but Gu Jingyuan did not come to school often, and now that it was summer break, the probability of him coming was even lower.

So, s.h.i.+ Jin was still very concerned about the two compet.i.tions she had partic.i.p.ated in and was there to check out the situation?
