Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 322 - 133: Qin Shiqing, Your Childhood Friend Is About to Become Famous! (Part 4)
University students these days are still quite naive and take class honor very seriously.
After the classroom quieted down a bit, Shen Dongyang continued with a smile: "The second matter is some insider info I got from a friend in the Students’ Union Arts Department. It concerns the upcoming May Fourth College-wide Talent Show, and one of our classmates has been selected to perform!"
The entire class was abuzz again.
With so many people in the College of Finance, even appearing at a departmental talent show isn’t easy, let alone a college-wide talent show.
"That’s awesome, who’s going to perform at the college talent show?"
"This is a college-wide event! Do we really have someone that talented in our class?"
"Class One of Financial Management is truly full of hidden talents. I feel like I’m just a wallflower 55555..."
"..."
After holding everyone’s attention, Shen Dongyang finally said, "This person is none other than our class monitor, Su Zelin. His act is a guitar solo!"
All eyes turned towards Su Zelin, the room buzzing with excitement.
This class monitor had been low-key for quite some time.
Ordinarily, class affairs were mainly managed by Luo Xi, who also gained fame while making an effort.
It was unexpected that when Su Zelin made a move, it was stunning, directly landing him on the grand stage of the college talent show.
"Really? Class Monitor, you’re going to perform on stage?"
"The third one, if not for the class secretary, we’d all be in the dark!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Class Monitor, you’re amazing! Can’t wait to see our campus idol perform!"
"..."
The fact that Su Zelin had been quiet for so long didn’t mean his popularity had waned. On the contrary, everyone was eagerly anticipating his performance.
Now aware of this news, everyone was thrilled.
The class monitor representing the entire department, naturally also representing Class One of the College of Finance, is indeed a remarkable honor.
"Not really, after all, it’s not that big of a deal, so I didn’t mention it to everyone."
Su Zelin remarked a bit smugly.
Seeing such an intense reaction from the class, Luo Xi couldn’t help but be taken aback.
I should have thought it was him. The laid-back class monitor is really skilled at playing guitar, his skills are incredible!
I thought my performance during this period was quite good, hoping to turn the tables and maybe topple the towering figure looming over me.
Looks like I overestimated myself.
Ah, well, no sense hoping over these four years, just continue being overshadowed!
...
That evening, at the Zhejiang University girls’ dormitory.
Qin Shiqing sat in front of her computer, logging into QQ.
This was a ritual she followed every day at this time.
However, after surfing for a bit, she noticed that a certain avatar in her friend list remained gray, leaving her slightly disappointed.
As the time approached, she was about to shut down and head to the study room.
"Ding ding ding!"
A new message came through.
Tranquil Heart: "Hey, Shiqing!"
Sunny Day: "Hi, senior!"
This friend named "Tranquil Heart" wasn’t actually an older girl from Zhejiang University. Instead, she was from the College of Finance, named Yan Qingyi, who also went to Jianglan Second High School, a year above Qin Shiqing, and both had worked as broadcasters, hence they shared a good relationship.
After starting university, she found Yan Qingyi’s contact through the hometown association’s contact list and added her on QQ. Occasionally, they would chat online, learning that her senior was doing well at the College of Finance, already a member of the Student Union.
Tranquil Heart: "I have something to tell you, it’s about your childhood friend, and he might become famous soon, hehe."
Qin Shiqing immediately got interested.
Sunny Day: "Oh, what do you mean?"
Tranquil Heart: "Our College of Finance’s May Fourth Youth Festival College-Wide Talent Show, Su Zelin is one of the performers!"
Sunny Day: "What, really, senior?"
Qin Shiqing’s eyes widened, the girl was very surprised.
This news was quite unexpected for her.
Her childhood friend, although talented and a regular at high school talent shows, only missed the one right after starting high school.
However, being on the college-wide talent show was not an easy feat.
After all, each department might only get two or three slots for performers.
Further dividing these slots among each grade, for freshmen, there might just be one slot.
Tranquil Heart: "Your childhood friend is amazing, he’s the only first-year from the School of Economics and Management on the show, as a fellow Jianglan Second High School alumnus, I’m proud of him!"
Yan Qingyi was quite familiar with Qin Shiqing, knowing her junior was classmates with the infamous slacker from Second High, also their neighbor.
During her work in the Student Union’s Arts Department in preparing for the May Fourth Talent Show, she accidentally discovered Su Zelin’s name on the participant list, confirming that he was indeed Shiqing’s childhood friend from Class One of Financial Management. So she casually mentioned it to her.
After a few messages, Qin Shiqing ended the conversation.
Su Boss, you’re something else, not even mentioning this to me!
I had specifically invited you to the Zhejiang University’s Public Administration Department’s Christmas gala last time.
The girl was not happy.
She simmered in her resentment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged.
She immediately dialed her childhood friend’s phone number using the dorm’s landline.
After a few rings, it was picked up, and on the other end came the slacker’s lazy, annoying voice: "Hey, Qin Shiqing, what’s up?"
Qin Shiqing huffed, "Nothing much, just haven’t called you in a while, can’t we just chat?"
Su Zelin sounded impatient, "Are you bored? I’m in the middle of a StarCraft battle, it’s a critical moment, so I won’t talk now..."
"Hang up and you’re in big trouble!"
Qin Shiqing’s tone startled the slacker.
Su Zelin had never seen his usually gentle as water childhood friend show such a side.
So, Qin Shiqing wasn’t gentle all the time; she could be firm occasionally...
"Qin Shiqing, are you okay?"
The slacker didn’t dare hang up, cautiously asking.
Doing a quick calculation, it didn’t seem to be that time of the month yet.
Besides, even during that time, Qin Shiqing wasn’t usually this tough.
"Zelin, how are things going with you recently?"
Qin Shiqing asked further.
"Great, I’ve been sleeping well and eating well."
Su Zelin replied cautiously.
"Haha, so have you participated in any recent activities on campus?"
Qin Shiqing pressed on.
"Now that you mention it, I did participate in an event!"
Su Zelin answered without hesitation.
At least you’re being honest.
Qin Shiqing thought to herself, her tone softening, "What event?"
The slacker thought, since when did this woman become so nosy, curiosity sure killed the cat.
"The Literature Club had a book reading event, I’m quite popular in the club, was selected as a representative, no less."
Su Zelin was slightly proud.
"Just that? Anything else?"
Qin Shiqing furrowed her brows.
"That’s all."
"Really? Swear on it!"
"Alright, Qin Shiqing, if I’m lying to you, then may I be struck by lightning, no good end!"
Qin Shiqing was speechless.
This guy truly dares to swear, blatantly lying, isn’t he afraid of karma?
"Got it, Su Boss!"
Qin Shiqing "bang" hung up the phone.
Su Zelin was confused.
Totally baffled, did this woman have gunpowder for dinner?
And what Su Boss?
Oh, my hearing is getting worse.
Must be a hallucination!
Including Qin Shiqing being so fierce just now, it was all a hallucination!
Su Zelin shook his head, continuing to play StarCraft.
At Zhejiang University, in the girls’ dormitory.
Qin Shiqing pouted angrily, didn’t feel like going to the study room anymore.
Sitting there for a while, she suddenly had a bright idea.
Come to think of it, during our school’s Christmas gala, didn’t he use a sneaky move himself?
Don’t think you’re the only one who can use this trick!
Hmph!
