266 Reversal Everyone was stunned and stared at the woman in disbelief.

Her peach blossom eyes were filled with calmness. This woman was none other than Shen Ruojing!

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

“Teacher Anonymous?”

“Teacher Anonymous, what did you say? You want to join his group to make up for the numbers?”

“My heavens, how can this be possible?”

“I thought Teacher Anonymous is only skilled in the piano and violin? She knows the zither too?”

“…”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Yun Yiheng was stunned and could only stare dumbly at her.

Shen Ruojing slowly walked to his side. “Do you want my participation, so you can make up for thenumbers?”

“…Yes.”

Yun Yiheng felt as though a warm feeling filled his heart.

He always felt that Anonymous didn’t disparage folk music for the sake of giving him face. She hadalways been encouraging him and had never said anything bad about Qing Dai before.

But never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Anonymous would actually join his bandfor the sake of making up for the numbers.

Sadly, even if she was here, it was fated that he had to be the one playing the main melody. After all,Anonymous wasn’t a professional in playing the zither. Even so, the weightage of his band would surelybe heavier with Anonymous as a member.

Shen Ruojing nodded and glanced at the surroundings. “Is there anyone willing to lend me a zither?”

The Qilin Band was the only band that focused on pure folk music, and other bands emphasized oncombining eastern and western musical instruments. In addition, the zither was the most classic andbest-sounding instrument among eastern musical instruments, so there would be someone among allthe bands that was proficient in playing the zither.

After she said this, someone immediately acknowledged it.

“Teacher Anonymous, I can lend you my zither!”

“Me too!”

The thoughts of university students were still relatively simple and pure. They didn’t understand thegrudge between Wen Yuyi and Yun Yiheng, so they were easily swindled by Wen Yuyi’s performance.

After all, Wen Yuyi always had a smiling face in the academy and looked very easy to talk to. As forYun Yiheng, he would always act cool and arrogant, exuding a lofty demeanor. Hence, his relationshipswith his schoolmate weren’t that good.

But even so, quite a lot of people were willing to show him kindness and offer help.

“Teacher Anonymous, our band is the first one on stage. After we are done with our performance, I canlend you my zither.”

Shen Ruojing stared at the person who spoke and nodded to her. “Okay, thanks.”

They had enough people now and she also had a zither…

Yun Yiheng then looked at the teacher. “Now, you cannot cancel my qualification to participate, right?”

The teacher hesitated before finally sighing heavily.

Wen Yuyi looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Miss Shen, do you think you are helping him by doingthis? Don’t you know that you are actually harming him instead? Look at his fingers! If he persists injoining the competition, they might become crippled!”

Yun Yiheng coldly laughed. “Wen Yuyi, please don’t put up an act before me. Let me tell you this, evenif my fingers are crippled, I’ll still be on the stage today and let everyone know the charm of zithers,allowing everyone to see the splendor of China’s music culture!”

Wen Yuyi seemingly wasn’t able to maintain her fake smile anymore.

She narrowed her eyes.

However, she soon collected her thoughts and smiled. “I’m doing this for your own good. Since youdon’t need it, just forget it.”

Wen Yuyi had tried playing the zither before and understood a little bit.

Hence, she knew very well how painful it was when one tried playing the zither with injured fingers.

Also, as for Shen Ruojing making up for the numbers…that was simply ridiculous!

Wen Yuyi smiled. “Let us meet on the stage then.”

The Music Festival began at 6 p.m. sharp!

The first band on the stage performed the song [Castle In The Sky]. The melody was pleasant to listento and had a high performance value. However, because the difficulty was low, it didn’t get a very highscore.

They purely wanted to contribute to a performance.

The first performance ended and someone sent the zither over to Shen Ruojing.

At this moment, the medical team of the school was dressing Yun Yiheng’s wound.

The tip of his right index finger was smashed and bruises covered it as it swelled up. However, YunYiheng didn’t want to bandage it because playing the zither required one to use their fingertips andnails!

He only requested a cold compress and ice pack to reduce the swelling. At the very least, he couldn’tallow the flesh of his finger to be so swollen that its size surpassed the fingernail.

When applying the cold compress, his fractured fingertip caused him great pain whenever he lightlytouched something.

Cold sweat was dripping from Yun Yiheng’s forehead. However, he was staring at Shen Ruojing. “Tryout the zither’s tunes first.”

Every zither had its own personality and natural disposition. The player was required to adapt to thezither.

Shen Ruojing’s dainty fingers strummed the strings, producing a clear sound.

Yun Yiheng frowned and sighed. “This zither is ordinary.”

“It’s fine, it won’t affect the results,” Shen Ruojing calmly spoke before looking at his hand again. “Canyou still endure it?”

Yun Yiheng gnashed his teeth.

Actually, he was at his limit and his body was trembling from the pain uncontrollably.

However, he had to endure it.

He wasn’t afraid of pain and only afraid that he couldn’t play well this time around. If he wasted thechance, he might no longer have an opportunity to play the zither again in the future…

As he pondered, Shen Ruojing seemed to read his thoughts. “I’ve checked your injuries. Don’t worry, itwill recover.”

“…”

Yun Yiheng pursed his lips and suddenly asked, “Are you really fond of eastern music?”

Shen Ruojing. “Naturally.”

Yun Yiheng lifted her eyebrows. “In that case, I’ll teach you the zither after the competition is over.However, you are already quite old and might not be able to reach Qing Dai’s height in your entire life.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Her lips twitched. “Let’s talk about that after we are done with the competition.”

Yun Yiheng still wanted to say something, but his vision suddenly darkened.

He lifted his head and saw Fatty standing before him. Fatty had a complicated look on his face and hiseyes were flickering with puzzlement. “Bro Yun, why did you have to make such a choice? Don’t youknow that if you don’t go for treatment now, you might not be able to play the zither in the future?”

Yun Yiheng pursed his lips. “Because this is my dream.”

Fatty mumbled, “Are dreams so important? You clearly know there’s an iron wall ahead, yet you don’tgive a damn about your life and want to ram headfirst into it?”

Yun Yiheng mocked, “The path of chasing dreams is filled with thorns. If you don’t even have thiscourage, what qualifications do you have to speak of dreams? Fatty, those who give up halfway aretrash!”

Fatty’s face was red.

The more Yun Yiheng persisted, the more it seemed that the four of them who turned traitors and leftYun Yiheng were shameless.

This feeling of shame caused Fatty to involuntarily come over and ask Yun Yiheng.

But after being scolded as ‘trash’, Fatty grew infuriated. “What do you know? You were born witheverything, so you naturally don’t have to care about anything. However, we still need to survive!”

“But surviving isn’t the reason why you betrayed me.” Yun Yiheng stared at him. “Fatty, you can quit ifyou cannot persist anymore. I don’t think anyone will blame you. However, you chose the path whichyou should have never walked! Do you believe me when I say that someone as cowardly andshameless as you is destined to never achieve anything in their life?!”

“Achieve nothing in my life?” Fatty stomped his feet and shouted, “How would I fall into that category?I’m going to win the championship with Sister Yuyi and will be heading to Vienna Music Hall to perform!

On the contrary, you are the one who will achieve nothing. Tell me, what do you hope to achieve?

“Your fingers are injured and no one knows if you can even play a complete music piece. Do you thinkthat with Anonymous helping you to make up for the numbers, your band would be able to reverse thetides? She is only skilled in orchestra music, so how would she understand anything about folk music?In the current situation, you would only be able to reverse the situation if Qing Dai was here!”
