Chapter 124: Rising to Fame Since Then
Lin Xuanhua didn’t expect that they would actively come looking for her.
Shi Yu felt particularly thrilled when she blocked the door with her leg; she had been planning this pose for a while, and it did turn out to be cool.
She heard Qian whisper, "Don’t be so cocky, careful your tight pants don’t rip at the crotch."
Shi Yu lowered her leg and instinctively tugged at the hem of her shirt, thankfully, it hadn’t ripped...
"A good dog doesn’t block the way. If you haven’t sung enough, you can stand at the underpass in front of the school gate, put a bowl in front of you, and I might throw you some change."
Lin Xuanhua’s words came with the arrogance of a rich heiress, unaware of the kind of people she was offending.
"Qian, she said we’re street performers!" Shi Yu was angry.
Qian waved her hand, "Stay calm, if a dog barks at you, why are you getting all worked up? You’re human, show some class."
"Chen Xiaoqian! Who are you calling a dog?"
"Whoever is a dog, I’m calling them that."
The two girls’ voices, one high and one low, drew the attention of the classmates in the back row; Lin Xuanhua was not known to many, but Chen Xiaoqian’s group, having just caused such a stir, was recognized.
Instantly, the attention of the back-row classmates shifted over, neglecting to watch the program on stage.
People gathered around this side, others followed along, creating a scene at the doorway.
The venue’s largest spotlight was scanning back and forth, not yet covering this part, so those further front couldn’t see what was happening here, but those in the back could.
They saw the three-member group of beautiful freshmen, who had just excited the whole venue, surrounding a plump girl in a pink dress whose face was not visible, seemingly in a verbal spat; Qian’s voice wasn’t loud, only the plump pink-skin girl could be heard yelling.
"Is being able to sing such a big deal? Your level, in the underpass, it’s a dollar for eight songs!"
"You’re ugly."
"What did you say!!!"
"Very ugly."
"Say it again!!!" Lin Xuanhua, who had been treated like a little pampered princess for over a decade, was full of princess syndrome and could only accept compliments. Qian’s simple, straightforward way of tearing was described with two words.
Heart-wrenching.
"Even if I say it a thousand times, you’re still ugly. People reflect their mindsets; whatever grew like this, no wonder your heart would be so malicious."
As soon as Qian finished, Shi Yu couldn’t take it and burst out laughing, while Dong Yi, who had a high threshold for humor, only slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
But Lin Xuanhua was already so enraged by Qian that her expression was distorted.
"What, what, what are you saying!"
"I, I, I say it a thousand times, and you won’t understand." Qian mimicked her rhythm, and those sitting nearby in the back row, hearing such refreshing argument style, couldn’t stop laughing.
It was indeed more exciting than the program.
Maybe Qian had played enough, and she suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xuanhua by the collar, and her playful expression turned into one filled with killer presence.
Just like when she stood on stage, dominated with the mic, her aura was something Lin Xuanhua, a mere kid, couldn’t withstand.
"I’m warning you, stop pulling these stunts in front of me; once, twice, I’ll tolerate you, but a third time..."
Qian released her collar; Lin Xuanhua was still terrified, and suddenly, Qian slapped her cleanly.
"Acting all high and mighty in front of me, deserving to be hit rather than coddled; I’ll slap you once to teach you a lesson, next time it won’t be as light as a slap, remember this, I’m Chen Xiaoqian, and I’m not someone you can challenge; avoid me in the future, if there’s any childish game like today, I’ll make your end rhythmic."
After speaking, she domineeringly left with her two roommates, leaving behind a stunned Lin Xuanhua.
About three minutes after Qian left, she came to her senses, covering her mouth, crying and running away.
Qian’s nickname "Qian the Boss" became well-known.
That night not only let people witness her talent.
But also showcased her skills.
Making Lin Xuanhua cry and skip classes for three days became one of the tales of Qian’s time at the school.
In school, the one person not to offend was the social Qian the Boss; some said Qian’s family owned a dance hall; others hinted at social connections...
Anyway, all kinds of rumors swirled around, and everyone unanimously agreed that this girl must have a remarkable background.
The fact that she dared to slap Lin Xuanhua, who wasn’t known by many initially, in front of such a crowd proved, to people, that Qian’s background must be even more impressive.
These chaotic background rumors grew increasingly exaggerated; Qian didn’t bother to clarify, just maintained her low-key manner of doing things with high-profile behavior, moving around campus with no one daring to provoke her anymore; that’s an aside.
Dong Yi and Shi Yu accompanied Qian tearing into Lin Xuanhua, and after leaving, Shi Yu was still savoring the dramatic moment just now, feeling refreshed hanging out with Qian the Boss, even gave a bit of a gangster film vibe; playing a gangster tune, Qian the Boss instantly transformed into Chen Haonan, too captivating.
"But Qian the Boss, you didn’t mention, what does the last line you sang mean?" Shi Yu still had the suspense in her mind.
Qian smiled slightly, "All in the action just now, only understandable, my elegant persona mustn’t crumble."
Shi Yu was confused, while Dong Yi seemed to understand, slightly surprised pointing at Qian but quickly relaxed.
Indeed, the slapping was so enjoyable, shouting a crude word is quite normal...
With Chen Xiaoqian, any abnormal thing was done so naturally by her, even fighting could bring a fresh feeling; if Dong Yi had to find a word to describe Qian...
"Mastery."
"Dong Yi, what did you say?" Shi Yu didn’t hear clearly.
Dong Yi looked at Qian, mastery, yes, that’s the feeling.
Qian raised her head, lifting her wrist, looking through the moonlight at the bracelet on her hand, pulling the corner of her mouth.
Standing in a place like this campus, if sparring with a small fry took effort, then these lives would have been a waste, there was no pleasure in these actions.
Looking at Shi Yu’s excited side face, Qian felt a bit envious; kids at this age are easily moved, wandering between ideals and reality, while she had long departed from that age.
Such world-weariness...
Yu Minglang got the live version recording, a day later.
During his break, he ran to the unit’s activity room, closed the door, and quietly played it on the projector.
Almost making Yu Minglang’s eyes pop out in surprise.
Even Qiao Zhen, who came along to watch the program, was shocked.
"Is this... is this sister-in-law?"
Yu Minglang swallowed his saliva, feeling like he couldn’t catch his breath.
This enchanting spirit, how could she have a face like a girl?
Just felt his nose getting hotter, throat drier, heart racing, and his whole body feeling feverish...
Qiao Zhen was also stunned, although he thought his prodigal sister shaking on stage kind of ruined the view, but sister-in-law was truly impressive, truly badass...
"Showing such long legs, arms exposed, how many men with no f***ing sense saw that..."
Watching halfway, Yu Minglang could only feel this pity; Qiao Zhen was speechless, arms exposed even bothered you, just how stingy are you?
