“Han Han, your singing is so good, do you want to go sing K with us after school?”

“We’re not going to a KTV, my family has a karaoke room, it’s inside my house.” UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

“Yeah, Yan Ling’s family is really rich. She lives in a big villa with a karaoke room, a swimming pool, and even a badminton court.”

The day after the campus top ten singers competition ended.

During the lunch break.

A female student, along with her best friend, walked up to Shen Qinghan and stopped, inviting her to sing K at her house with a friendly face.

Shen Qinghan was somewhat flattered and wanted to go, but didn’t know if she should.

She never expected to be so warmly invited by her classmates; after all, everyone disliked her for being a relation hire.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to go to the girl’s house to sing K, following Lin Zichen’s suggestion and with his company.

Accompanying them were also Li Chuxin and He Yu.

The girl who invited Shen Qinghan was very excited and thrilled to see Lin Zichen there.

“That’s Shen Qinghan from Class 1 of the first grade, her singing is super nice, you really missed out by not going to the playground after school that day.”

“She’s so pretty, even with not a bit of makeup on her face, she looks so delicate.”

“I heard not only is her singing great but her painting skills are amazing too. The reason Class 1’s blackboard newspapers always win first place in the competitions is because of her.”

“I used to think she was just a vase beside Lin Zichen, but it turns out she’s actually talented and skilled. I feel like overall, she could even be the campus belle.”

In the days following the campus top ten singers competition.

Whether it was on the way to school or on the way home after school, Shen Qinghan could always hear students discussing her in hushed tones.

The content of the discussions was universally flattering.

This continued for several days in a row.

Gradually, Shen Qinghan was no longer as introverted as before when she walked on the school paths.

She gained a bit of self-confidence.

Hearing people discuss her, she no longer bowed her head in embarrassment but responded with a shy smile.

“Han Han, come on!”

Feeling the touch on her lower abdomen, Shen Qinghan’s heartbeat sped up a bit, her fair cheeks tinged with red.

Then, with a forceful push of her lower legs, she pedaled off towards the suburban roads with Lin Zichen in tow.

There were fewer cars there, and fewer traffic lights, making the ride feel freer.

“Xiao Chen, that forest over there looks so beautiful. Let’s climb up a tree for a better view and take some nice photos,” Shen Qinghan suggested as they stopped in front of a large tree on the roadside midway through their ride.

Lin Zichen had no objections; he was all ears to her.

After stopping the bike,

Shen Qinghan stuffed her phone in her pocket and immediately began climbing the tree without a word.

Since it wasn’t cold during the winter break in the south, she was wearing a blue lace skirt and a pair of warm white stockings that day. As she climbed up in front of Lin Zichen, she inadvertently flashed him.

Though she was wearing safety shorts, and flashing wasn’t really a big deal, Lin Zichen still consciously moved to the other side of the tree, avoiding the scene laid out before him.

In just a moment, both of them were standing a few meters high on a tree branch.

Shen Qinghan boldly let go of the tree trunk, took out her phone, and started taking pictures of the distant forest.

Being a student of the Martial Arts Class, she’d practiced tree climbing often during the school’s wilderness survival courses, so she was quite stable on the tree and wasn’t afraid of falling.

Just then, a breeze blew by, whipping Shen Qinghan’s smooth hair into a dance.

Lin Zichen found the girl before him so captivating at that moment that he too took out his phone and began taking pictures of her.

I don’t know how long passed.

Both put away their phones.

No more photographs were taken.

Shen Qinghan, gazing at the distant scenery, suddenly spoke up, “Xiao Chen, in both junior high and senior high, I got into the same school and the same class as you because of our connection.”

“I can’t keep doing this; I can’t always rely on you.”

As she said this, she turned her head to look at Lin Zichen next to her, her eyes firm with resolve, “In two and a half years, I will definitely get into the same university as you by my own merit.”

“Mhm, I believe in you.”

Lin Zichen responded trustingly, without a second thought.

He noticed that Shen Qinghan seemed much more confident after winning first place in the school’s Top Ten Singers competition as well as scoring a double win in the end-of-term Martial Arts sparring – a contrast to the insecure, timid, and shy Shen Qinghan he knew before the winter break.

He liked this new Shen Qinghan better, the one with a bit more self-confidence, a more resolute heart, and an increasingly cheerful personality.
