Chapter 227: Recruitment Party

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After an entire winter break, Hui University welcomed the return of many students.

Murong Qiao was the first to return. The next day, Leng Yan and Yang Xin also returned to the dormitory.

“Qiaoqiao! I missed you so much!” The moment Yang Xin saw Murong Qiao, she pounced on her.

Murong Qiao caught her and hugged Yang Xin back with a smile. The corners of her mouth had not lowered since the two of them returned.

She looked at Yang Xin. After not seeing her for a while, she felt that Yang Xin’s entire face was a little unfamiliar, but the familiar tone quickly made everyone pick up their relationship again.

When Leng Yan saw this, she also took out her gifts. They were two wrapped books.

She stuffed one into each of them. “For you.”

During the winter break, Leng Yan went on a trip. She had chosen a local historical anecdote as her gift. It was very interesting.

“Thank you.” Murong Qiao took the gift. “1 brought some snacks from home. Let’s eat together later.”

Just like before she left, Yang Xin also brought back specialties. After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Yang Xin realized that something was wrong.

She glanced at Zheng Yue’s bed. It was empty. Today was the last day to return to school.

“Where’s Zheng Yue?” Yang Xin couldn’t help but ask.

Murong Qiao glanced at Zheng Yue’s bed calmly. She knew where Zheng Yue was, but she didn’t answer Yang Xin’s question.

Leng Yan did not care about this. “I heard that there will be a welcoming party for the new semester. It will definitely be very lively.”

After Leng Yan changed the topic, Yang Xin immediately forgot about Zheng Yue’s question and shouted that she must occupy a good position when the time came.

Murong Qiao glanced at the empty bed and knew that its owner would not come back this semester.

In order to recuperate in peace, Zheng Yue applied for a leave of absence from school. She had been living in a house outside for the past two days. It was worth mentioning that Murong Qiao had rented the house for her.

“Qiaoqiao, thank you. I don’t know what to do without you.” Zheng Yue said sincerely.

Murong Qiao’s tone was calm. “It’s a small matter.”

Other than Murong Qiao, no one else knew that Zheng Yue had come out to stay.

They didn’t chat for long because Murong Qiao received a message from Huo Yichen.

“I’ll be back tomorrow.” Huo Yichen brought good news.

The antic.i.p.ation reached its peak at this moment. Murong Qiao’s antic.i.p.ation, which she could not suppress since she returned to school, doubled again.

After all, she could continue walking with Huo Yichen in school and no longer had to worry about her Big Brother seeing her.

It was so nice to be in a relationship openly. Murong Qiao wished she could see Huo Yichen now so that she could throw herself into his arms and accept his kiss.

Murong Qiao couldn’t wait to reply to him. [When you come back, let’s go to that cafeteria from before. Also, 1 recently found out that there’s a new shop at the school gate…]

Whenever she was talking with Huo Yichen, she would not be able to stop talking.

The start of the new semester also represented the end of the past. Murong Qiao who used to be so popular on the forum, was gradually forgotten by people and Feng Xinyao seemed to have become famous again.

She was good-looking to begin with. Under her gentle appearance, she could quickly make people forget what had happened in the past.

“Feng Xinyao is simply the most outstanding girl I’ve ever seen. I really don’t know what kind of person is worthy of her.”

“HAHAHA, I had also gone to the school belle’s cla.s.s today just to see her. She looks so beautiful when she listens attentively.”

From time to time, there would be topics about Feng Xinyao on the forum, but it was far less popular than those about the recent orientation party.

“I heard that the Arts Club will still be in charge of this welcome party as usual. With their tricks, I feel that 1 don’t need to see it to know what the program will be.”

“It’s different this year. I think Feng Xinyao went to the Literature Club. She might be partic.i.p.ating in a performance!”

“It’s true! I’m a member of the Arts Club. I just saw Feng Xinyao signing up with our president.”

The news of Feng Xinyao’s partic.i.p.ation in the welcoming party quickly spread on the forum and many people expressed their antic.i.p.ation for the school belle’s performance.

However, the president of the Arts Club had another goal. She asked a few cla.s.smates and finally found the library where Murong Qiao was.

“Program?” Murong Qiao was puzzled. “Are you talking about the welcome party?”

Just as she was reading, she saw this unfamiliar girl walk over and say that she was looking for her.

The president nodded. “I’m the president of the Arts Club. I want to invite you to partic.i.p.ate in the welcoming party and perform on stage.”

As she explained her intentions, she secretly observed Murong Qiao’s extremely good-looking face.

This was the first time she had seen Murong Qiao in person. Especially when she could observe her face up close, the president felt her nose heat up with an urge to bleed.

They were both girls, but Murong Qiao was so good-looking it was enraging. The president was obsessed with looks, so at this moment, Murong Qiao’s face dealt her 10,000 critical damage in her heart.

“Sorry, I’m not interested.” Murong Qiao refused without thinking.

She was already very busy with her usual activities. She had to spend a big portion of her time studying and working in the company. Most of her free time was also reserved for Huo Yichen. If she attended another orientation party, she really won’t have enough time.

However, the president was defeated by Murong Qiao’s face. Before she came, she thought that it would be best if she could come. Now that she saw her in person, she made up her mind to make Murong Qiao partic.i.p.ate in this welcome party.

However, Murong Qiao didn’t have time to waste on a stranger, so she turned around and was about to leave when the president blurted out anxiously.

“Is it because you’re afraid of losing to Feng Xinyao?”

Upon hearing this name, the president saw Murong Qiao stop in her tracks and turn to look at her. Her deep and dark eyes were emotionless.

“Feng Xinyao?” Murong Qiao repeated.

The president felt a little guilty under her gaze. “Yes, she just asked me to sign her up for the gala performance.”

It was clearly the same person and had the same face, but the president suddenly felt that Murong Qiao gave her a chill down her spine. She had a bad feeling.

Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes and smiled playfully. It just so happened that she hadn’t settled the score with Feng Xinyao about the racecourse last time.

Alright, let me play with her this time.

“Alright, 1’11 partic.i.p.ate in the welcoming party.” Murong Qiao changed her att.i.tude and agreed readily.

It was useless to goad her, but Murong Qiao was still a little interested in Feng Xinyao, so she accepted the president’s invitation.

She said it so decisively that the president, who had been racking her brains to persuade her to partic.i.p.ate in the gala, was stunned for a second.

When the president heard her agree, she immediately became happy. “Then, then, what program are you going to perform?”

As soon as she asked the question, even the president realized her antic.i.p.ation. This was Murong Qiao’s debut!

Unlike Feng Xinyao, who could always show off her talents at various occasions, the biggest impression the Hui University students had of Murong Qiao was that she had a good-looking face and extraordinary academic results.

When the president thought about how Murong Qiao would also be on the program list, she didn’t dare to imagine how lively that scene would be.

“Pianist solo,” Murong Qiao said.

When she talked about the piano, her eyebrows raised proudly, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as if victory was in her hands.

Piano performance was a good choice. The piano could highlight a person’s temperament.

The president hurriedly nodded after hearing this and her eyes were about to light up. She wished she could transmigrate to the event location on the day of the welcome party.

“I’ve noted it down. 1’11 inform you as soon as the gala schedule is out.” The president couldn’t hide the excitement in her words..
