261 Music Festival

Yun Yiheng’s eyes opened wide.

He stared at that draft in disbelief.

Zither music scores, especially incomplete historical pieces like this one, were recorded using ancientmethods. The words were hard to understand, let alone write. Hence, many people who had played thezither for many years couldn’t understand them either.

But right now, on that piece of paper, a huge chunk was written in numbered musical notation.

He took it over and had a look, only to discover that Shen Ruojing had switched over the two pieces ofthe score that seemed wrong to him.

At that moment, Yun Yiheng suddenly understood something!

The connection between both pages was so worn out that they couldn’t be seen clearly, causing him tokeep on trying to patch up the piece. However, no matter how hard he tried, he kept replaceing it verystrange. It turned out that the front and back pages of the score had been stapled in the wrong order!

With the switch, the entire score was complete.

This zither score was an ancient artifact that had been lost overseas, and it was returned by a kind-hearted individual to their country many years ago. After that, it was placed in the museum, so it wasnormal that the pages had been put in the wrong order.

That meant he had put himself in a blind alley unnecessarily!

He immediately took out his zither and placed it on the table. He then attempted to play the piece.

As expected of an ancient music score, he only casually strummed the strings and could already sensethe charm of the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms]. It would definitely take the entire festival by storm.

Outside the door.

An hour had passed and Wen Yuyi brought people here once again, planning to see Yun Yiheng makea joke of himself.

The group then arrived at Yun Yiheng’s activity room.

They had just arrived at the door when they heard bits and pieces of Yun Yiheng’s unpolished zitherplaying!

Everyone was stunned.

Someone called out in surprise, “You’ve mended the score?”

Yun Yiheng stopped in his action and turned to see the group of people. He didn’t beat about the bushand raised his chin to say to them arrogantly, “The activity room can’t be handed to you guys for now.”

Wen Yuyi narrowed her eyes. “Yun Yiheng, even if you’ve mended the score successfully, you’re stillalone. You don’t need an activity room to practice by yourself, so you should give it up to us!”

Yun Yiheng sneered. “I’m not alone.”

After saying that, Yun Yiheng looked at Fatty and the other three, still wearing the joy of havingcompleted the score. He called out, “Fatty, the score is mended! You guys can come back now!”

There were still a few minutes to the deadline for submitting the name list of participants. He onlyneeded to add the number in for everything to return to how they were before.

The moment he said this, everyone from Wen Yuyi’s band turned to look at the four of them in unison.

Yun Yiheng stood up, his figure upright and lean. He ran up to Fatty excitedly. “Let’s not dilly-dallyanymore and hurry up to start practicing! There are still two more days until the competition and thereisn’t much time for us to practice…”

After saying that, he reached out his hand to Fatty.

This was their band’s habit.

Each time, before and after their practice, everyone would slap their hands together as anencouragement to each other.

He reached out his hand to Fatty, but the latter’s hand didn’t slap his hand even after very long…

Only then did Yun Yiheng notice that something wasn’t right.

He looked at the four of them, only to see that their expressions were very awkward and grim. Theystood there silently, not saying anything.

Yun Yiheng was stunned for a moment and he suddenly understood something. “You guys don’t wishto come back?”

The four of them exchanged glances and eventually pushed Fatty out to represent them. Fatty’s gazewas darting around and he coughed. “Bro Yun, we won’t be coming back.”

“Why? Although time is a little tight, with our tacit cooperation, two days is enough for us to learn apiece. You don’t have to worry about there being any problems during the competition…”

Fatty finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Bro Yun, can we just go our separate ways peacefully?”

Yun Yiheng clenched his fists tightly. “Did Wen Yuyi threaten you guys? Or what is it?”

Hearing this, Wen Yuyi suddenly smiled. “I don’t ever threaten people. The four of you can go backanytime. I won’t force you. After all, there are still a few more minutes before the cut-off for registration.There’s enough time to change the band’s name list.”

After she said this, Fatty’s expression stiffened up. He immediately smiled in a flattering manner to WenYuyi. “No, no, why would we go back on our words?”

Wen Yuyi said calmly, “Then why are you not making things clear with Student Yun Yiheng?”

Make things clear…

Fatty’s gaze flickered. He understood what Wen Yuyi meant.

The few of them were already feeling guilty after betraying Yun Yiheng. If they were to hit him when hewas down…

But he didn’t dare to not say it.

Fatty immediately looked at Yun Yiheng, his voice filled with grievance. “Do you have to force me tomake things clear? Bro Yun, let me ask you. In so many years of music festivals in our school, whenhas the folk music department ever won first place? If Old Master Shen didn’t come, we could play withyou and mess around! But things are different now!”

Old Master Shen’s arrival made this music festival even more competitive and intense.

Many people wanted to join Wen Yuyi’s band. After all, she had strong individual capabilities and herviolin skills were well-known in the school. Moreover, she also won first place last year.

How were Fatty and the other three worthy of being selected by her?

It was all because she and Yun Yiheng were fighting each other!

Fatty could see things very clearly. Although they had betrayed Yun Yiheng, the reason Wen Yuyi waswilling to accept them was also because of Yun Yiheng.

Yun Yiheng was stunned and he only reacted after a very long time had passed. He wore a cold faceand said, “So in your eyes, the reason why I’ve created this band is to fool around? Does that meanthat even if I had mended this score long ago, once she beckoned to you guys, you’d still betray me?”

Since things were already at this stage, Fatty knew that Wen Yuyi wouldn’t be satisfied if he didn’tmake things clearly.

He said without any hesitation, “That’s right! I’ve long since felt disappointed in this freaking folk music!Even I feel that folk music is in poor taste and can’t get to more high-end stages!

“And do you really think that Teacher Anonymous meant it when she said that she admired folk music?She was just consoling you! If she really had respect for folk music, then why didn’t she learn folkmusic? Why did she study orchestra music instead?!

“Bro Yun, do you really think the reason we made a band with you is because we like folk music andbelieve that folk music has a future? No, you’re wrong. It’s because you’re rich! The reason the four ofus were with you is because you’re rich!”

Yun Yiheng took a step back in disbelief.

Ever since he entered university, he had been speaking up for folk music. He knew that other peopledidn’t understand him, but he had always thought that at least his band members understood andsupported him.

However, at this moment, he felt that all his persistence had become a joke.

A wave of coldness shrouded him.

Wen Yuyi was very satisfied by Fatty’s agitation after seeing Yun Yiheng’s countenance.

She knew that it didn’t hurt to be stabbed by an enemy. But being stabbed by a teammate would bringboth physical and mental pain.

She smiled and said, “Yun Yiheng, since your members aren’t returning, then can you leave now?We’re still waiting to practice in the activity room!”

Fatty immediately chimed in, “Your family is so rich, so you definitely don’t care for this activity room.Since that’s the case, why can’t you let us have it? You’re alone, so you don’t need such a big activityroom. Bro Yun, after we’ve gotten first place, we’ll be thankful to you.”

Yun Yiheng looked at Fatty.

His gaze suddenly turned cold.

He then took two steps back, his voice suddenly turning very composed. “Do you really think that youguys will be able to get first place?”

He had confidence in folk music. Especially after seeing the complete version of [Coldness of PlumBlossoms], his confidence was unprecedented!

He believed that anyone who listened to this piece would believe that folk music was good. It was a pitythat Fatty and the others didn’t give him the chance to play the piece for them.

Fatty couldn’t wait to cling to someone else and had chosen to betray him ruthlessly.

Yun Yiheng lowered his gaze. “I hope that you won’t regret this on the day of the competition.”

He turned and placed his zither into its bag. He then carried it on his back and left.

Fatty suddenly shouted out with a savage expression, “Bro Yun, don’t worry, we’ll never regret it! We’llonly be thankful for the decision we’ve made today!”

However, Yun Yiheng didn’t halt his footsteps at all.

The young man’s back view seemed frail, but the way he walked away gave people an indestructiblefeeling.

Wen Yuyi narrowed her eyes.

She had snatched his activity room and his band members, but why did she suddenly feel a littleuneasy?

Two days later, the music festival began just as planned.
