The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 365 - 364 I’m a Landmark with No Feelings

Chapter 365 -364 I’m a Landmark with No Feelings

Everyone seemed to agree and even looked forward to it with anticipation.

Su Luo shook her head, “Don’t make wild guesses. If it turns out to be false, and someone with intentions hears this, they will laugh at Lu Mian again.”

“That’s true,” Shouhao scratched his head. “It could also be an invitation for Brother Mian to be a mascot! Although Brother Mian is awesome, he can’t know everything. Otherwise, how tiring it would be for his brain!”

Everybody nodded in agreement, feeling the same way. Human brain cells do not regenerate, and while they also have 12 billion brain cells like Lu Mian, it seemed theirs were used to grow taller…

Lu Mian had no idea what Panguo and the others were discussing. She smiled towards that side and then turned to look at Xiao Qimo, asking out of curiosity when she saw him staring at her, “What’s wrong?”

“What did that person want with you just now?” Xiao Qimo asked casually.

Lu Mian pursed her lips with a somewhat helpless tone, “Just to record a video.”

Xiao Qimo: …

Where did this little rascal learn to be so calm in the face of change? Getting invited by the Starlight Conductor to record a video and still be this nonchalant?

If those from Jinjing, who were desperately trying to join the Starlight Symphony Orchestra, knew about this, they would probably die of jealousy.

However, these were not important. What’s important was, why were so many people fighting over this little rascal with him?

Lu Mian didn’t pay attention to these matters and immediately asked Xiao Qimo, “Where’s Brother Ye? Hasn’t he come back yet?”

“Yeah, he’s gone to take care of his business.”

“Ah,” Lu Mian’s eyes and brows softened slightly, and she asked casually, “Brother Ye seemed distracted during the concert, is there something worrying him?”

Upon these words, the originally gently smiling man’s face suddenly darkened, his eyes deepening as they fixed on Lu Mian, also carrying a hint of grievance.

Lu Mian felt a baseless guilt, “What’s wrong? Can’t I ask?”

Xiao Qimo shook his head, “During the concert, was he the only one you were paying attention to?”

“…” Lu Mian felt baffled and lifted an eyebrow slightly, “I wasn’t.”

She had only paid attention a few times.

Xiao Qimo pursed his lips not too pleased, and before he could say anything else, a gentle man approached from not too far away.

“Mianmian!” The man greeted her warmly.

Lu Mian also smiled and gestured with her hand.

Xiao Qimo’s gaze darkened as he looked over. He remembered this man; he had been staring at Lu Mian throughout the concert. He subtly took a step forward, getting a bit closer to Lu Mian, invisibly declaring something.

Lu Xi also felt this sudden hostility and was somewhat displeased.

In a matter of seconds, the two men’s eyes had crossed swords in mid-air.

Lu Mian bent her brows and eyes, “Big brother.”

Big brother?

Xiao Qimo paused briefly, and the domineering aura he had just released immediately retreated by a large margin, as he pushed his glasses up in a scholarly gentlemen’s manner.

As if nothing had ever happened, he naturally greeted, “Mr. Lu.”

The incidentally injured Lu Xi felt it was quite mystical; he nodded without saying much and turned his attention to Lu Mian, asking with concern, “Mianmian, what did Mr. Chu want with you?”

“Ah,” Lu Mian pursed her lips, “It’s a bit troublesome, but I can handle it.”

“Trouble? Did he cause you trouble?” Lu Xi’s eyes chilled, “Who dares to trouble you? I’ll stand up for you!”

“Big brother, it’s nothing. He just wants me to record a full piano piece. I have to prepare for my final exams recently, so it’s quite troublesome…”

Lu Xi: “…”

Although what she said made sense, he always felt something was off.

After a few more casual exchanges with his sister, Lu Xi felt reassured when he knew there was no issue on Lu Mian’s end. He then turned around to join Pei Jinlan.

Pei Jinlan glanced over here several times, probably wanting to say something, but was pulled away by Lu Xi before she could speak.

——

After the crowd dispersed, Ye Jinwen was the first to rush out. Unfortunately, the lady in red had left even faster than him. He chased all the way to the entrance and across the street but couldn’t find her.

He stood in the middle of the road like a big boy who had lost his beloved toy, his baby face filled with bewilderment and helplessness.

“Where are you… where on earth are you…”

“I don’t believe you’re just gone like that…”

“I was wrong, can you come back please?”

People came and went, all speeding past him, Ye Jinwen muttered nonstop, but eventually came to his senses and was finally brought back to reality.

He took a deep breath and started walking with heavy steps toward the theater entrance.

Meanwhile, not far away, Ya Ling walked out of a bakery in a black woolen coat.

Her coat was double-sided, one side red, the other black. With poise, she changed colors and easily shook off Ye Jinwen. She strode away, but not without looking back once, her red lips slightly curled.

She smirked.

As she walked, she pulled out her phone.

On the other end, Lu Mian saw the incoming call and signaled to the man beside her, “I’m going to take a call.”

Xiao Qimo saw her step away, and understood her intention—it seemed the content of her call was not for his ears just yet.

Heart sinking…

Yet the man still managed to keep a smile, “Okay, I’ll wait for Ye Jinwen to come back in the meantime.”

Lu Mian moved to a spot about twenty meters away under a large tree before she stopped.

The call was from Ya Ling.

Ya Ling’s breathing was uneven, and she began with a tone of grievance, “Mianmian, why didn’t you tell me he was there too!”

Lu Mian responded lightly, “I was going to tell you, but was interrupted by your sorrow.”

“…” Ya Ling slapped her forehead, “It’s my fault for your personality.”

Lu Mian just chuckled, toed a tree root, and said with a smile, “Even if you knew he would come, you would have watched the concert anyway, right? What’s the difference?”

“…” Ya Ling sighed, “Now that he’s spotted me, I’ll have to ask for your help with the surveillance footage.”

“Okay.”

Lu Mian agreed readily, almost always obliging to their requests.

Ya Ling put aside the earlier issue and flicked her wavy long hair, returning to her spirited and mischievous tone.

“I heard from Yuanyuan that a girl named Gu Jingyi framed you. I had old Yu check her out; she has a clean background. But for her to dare accuse you, I really admire her guts!”

A clean background.

Lu Mian didn’t quite agree but said nothing more, simply laughed and then hung up the phone.

She returned to Xiao Qimo and pointed towards the inside of the theater, “I’m going to use the restroom.”

“…” Xiao Qimo always felt as if he was being abandoned over and over again. He stood there like an emotionless landmark, watching Lu Mian come and go and come back again.

This time he clearly sensed something was off, but couldn’t quite put his finger on it, so he could only nod, “I’ll wait for you here.”

“Alright, I’ll be out soon.”

Lu Mian hooked her lip apologetically and headed back into the theater alone.
