They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han finished by spraying on some hair wax and was very satisfied with her look.

set off!

As soon as Lin Han opened the door, he bumped into the door across the hall, which had also opened.

"Lin Han?"

Bai Feifei, dressed in sportswear, revealed a surprised smile.

"Sister Bai," Lin Han greeted awkwardly.

The two of them went to the elevator together.

"Getting up so early? Where are you going?" Bai Feifei asked after pressing the elevator button.

"I'm going to a concert with a friend," Lin Han said.

In fact, it hadn't been long since Lin Han had seen Bai Feifei. The last time he saw her was just over a week ago, one evening, when Bai Feifei brought him some osmanthus cakes she had made.

As Bai Feifei said: Since we both live alone, we can look after each other.

Lin Han didn't take it to heart, but Bai Feifei was quite enthusiastic. She was a dance teacher and had always had the habit of jogging in the morning and evening. She often liked to reward herself after her evening run by making some desserts. If she had any leftovers, she would bring them to Lin Han.

Lin Han is a very honest person. Having been poor since childhood, he doesn't have any principles that make things difficult for himself. His main trait is that he likes to get things for free. If Bai Feifei gives him something to eat, he will eat it.

After entering the elevator, to ease the awkward atmosphere, Lin Han spoke up:

"And you, where are you going?"

"Going for a morning run."

Bai Feifei gave the look of pity for the fool.

"Oh oh."

Lin Han then remembered that Bai Feifei seemed to go for a run at this hour every day.

Damn it, I actually arrived early today and was able to arrive at the same time as Bai Feifei. If Su Ruxue doesn't treat me to a meal, she'll really be letting me down!

"Wait a minute, Lin Han, have you gotten stronger?"

Bai Feifei suddenly grabbed Lin Han's arm and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, you've started working out recently? I'm so envious of those pecs!"

Bai Feifei reached out and patted Lin Han's chest, feeling its firmness, and said.

"I did a little practice," Lin Han said, embarrassed.

As a seasoned fitness enthusiast, Bai Feifei has an exceptionally good figure. For example, she is currently wearing a super short sports top, which exposes her entire abdomen, and you can clearly see her beautiful abs.

Seeing Lin Han's physique, she was truly envious. He had achieved in just a few weeks what others took months or even years to reach. This must be the legendary super talent!

"What happens next? What's next?"

Bai Feifei said excitedly, rubbing her hands together and staring intently at Lin Han's private parts.

"Hey, hey, hey!!" Lin Han quickly shrank into the corner of the elevator, warning Bai Feifei not to do anything reckless.

"Haha! Just kidding."

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Bai Feifei lit a cigarette, laughed loudly, and strode away.

Lin Han was so angry that his penis almost stood up.

I got tricked again, damn it!

When Lin Han arrived at the entrance of the apartment building, he immediately saw that Feng had already parked his car there.

Having a private driver is very convenient. In order to meet Su Ruxue on time, Lin Han got up at 6:10. In order to pick up Lin Han on time, the driver had to get up at 5:00. It was a mutual torment.

At 6:54, Lin Han arrived at the entrance of Jinchuan Concert Hall.

As dawn broke, a number of people had already gathered in the small square in front of the concert hall, mostly staff and contestants for the competition.

"Lin Han."

Lin Han felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Su Ruxue.

Today, the white-haired girl is wearing a white cheongsam with a lace neckline. The all-white design gives her a pure and elegant feeling.

However, the curvaceous figure outlined under the fitted cheongsam adds a touch of sensuality to this pure and holy scene.

Since she hasn't entered the venue yet, Su Ruxue is still without makeup, but she is still very beautiful.

"You look quite handsome today," Su Ruxue said to Lin Han with a smile.

"You're not bad either," Lin Han retorted.

"Go in, there are already many people inside."

006. You've come to slaughter the newbie village, haven't you?

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Han followed Su Ruxue inside.

Along the way, many people noticed the boy who appeared at the entrance of the concert hall.

"Look, look! There's a handsome guy!"

"He's so handsome, is he an idol?"

"Could he be a contestant? I didn't know there was such a handsome contestant in this competition?"

"I really want to go up and ask for their contact information."

Several female college students, their hearts fluttering with desire, stood at a distance, shoving each other, trying to approach and strike up a conversation.

Lin Han looked quite different today, having changed his usual casual clothes and t-shirts into a white shirt. The close-fitting shirt revealed glimpses of Lin Han's chest muscles.

People rarely use the word "sexy" to describe a man unless his body is so attractive that any woman who sees him would find it hard to resist.

Beneath his slightly messy hair were the boy's delicate features. When he was expressionless, he exuded a strong sense of aggression. If one had to describe it with an idiom, it would be "overwhelmingly domineering."

He truly embodies the ideal man in the hearts of girls of this age.

"Hurry, hurry, or you'll never see it again!"

The female college student pushed her friend forward, and the three girls slowly approached Lin Han.

But when the girls actually mustered up the courage to go up and strike up a conversation...

The boy quickened his pace and caught up with the woman in front of him.

Why are you walking so fast?

"The other contestants have already started putting on their makeup, so of course we have to hurry."

After seeing clearly the woman who was talking to Lin Han, the girls' hearts sank instantly.

Because of this woman, almost everyone who appears at the Jinchuan Concert Hall knows her – Su Ruxue.

The champion of the Parrot Cup, the youngest cellist certified by the association, a 19-year-old prodigy.

She was so radiant, radiating an aura wherever she went. Her elegance and talent were unattainable for any girl her age.

"That handsome guy is actually with Su Ruxue."

"Forget it, how could this possibly compare to..."

The girls were completely convinced. From the moment they saw Su Ruxue, they knew that they were destined to be apart from this boy.

.......

Su Ruxue and Lin Han arrived backstage at the concert hall.

There is a long corridor with many different rooms on both sides, most of which are lounges for the players.

The two entered the dressing room.

This is a spacious and bright room, and at this moment, a large number of people have gathered here to put on makeup. Everyone is busy with their own things, and the room is very noisy.

It seems the competition is approaching, and everyone is in a state of intense preparation.

"Miss Su Ruxue? You've arrived?"

At that moment, a middle-aged woman who was doing makeup for others and was close to the door immediately called out Su Ruxue's name.

"You rest here for a bit. I'll do your makeup after I finish this person's."

Almost the instant the middle-aged woman spoke, the room fell silent, and all eyes turned to look at them.

"My God, it really is Su Ruxue!"

"They actually came back."

"It's been three years, and she's still so beautiful."

"I feel pressured!"

Everyone whispered among themselves, their gazes towards Su Ruxue filled with surprise, admiration, hostility, and fear.

For some young cellists, this cellist from Chengdu who disappeared for three years is even a legendary figure.

Amidst everyone's attention, Su Ruxue found a seat and sat down, with Lin Han following suit and sitting down beside her.

"It seems like they're all talking about you," Lin Han said.

"Of course, I'm the champion of the Parrot Cup," Su Ruxue said nonchalantly.

Next, Su Ruxue gave Lin Han a brief introduction to the match.

This cello competition, called the "Star Cup," is a city-level competition organized by the Jinchuan Cello Association. It has only been held for two sessions so far, but it has already invited the best young cellists in the entire city of Jinchuan to participate.

In other words, although the "Star Cup" is a very young competition, it is still highly prestigious.

Other than that,

The "Parrot Cup" is a provincial-level competition.

The "Longqin Cup" is a national-level competition.

Only the players who win the "Parrot Cup" can represent the entire province in the "Dragon Cup".

Three years ago, Su Ruxue ranked first in the province and among the top eight in the country.

Su Ruxue told Lin Han that she wasn't actually very interested in this city-level competition, but the association still strongly invited her.

Su Ruxue didn't know what the association was up to, but considering that she hadn't played a match in a long time, she decided to treat it as a trial to warm up her skills and participated.

Therefore, when the other contestants saw Su Ruxue, they felt both joy at meeting their idol and, more importantly, a sense of impending doom.

No way, you're a provincial champion trying to rack up trophies in a city-level competition?

Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice?!

It's like the national team playing against a county team – how could they possibly lose? They couldn't possibly lose!

However, many contestants are not afraid of Su Ruxue at all.

On the one hand, Su Ruxue has been missing for three years, and it's hard to say whether she still has the same skill level. Moreover, new talents emerge in every generation, and excellent musicians are constantly appearing, each of them quite arrogant, feeling that they are no worse than Su Ruxue.

On the other hand, there's still a problem that everyone knows—

Su Ruxue has a preference for classical music.

Because of Su Ruxue's disastrous performance at the Longqin Cup representing Jinchuan, the association's prejudice against classical music has only increased. Three years later, Su Ruxue's experience is often used as a negative example to educate younger musicians on the importance of following the academy's aesthetic standards. Anything that the academy does not approve of is considered heresy.

Of course, those who hold this view are in the minority. The vast majority of players still feel hopeless when they see Su Ruxue participating. The pressure of competing against a legendary figure is indeed extraordinary.

After hearing all this, Lin Han understood.

Su Ruxue participated in this competition to slaughter the newbie village.

"Don't say that. I wasted three years, but other pianists are improving. There are many people who are better than me."

Although Su Ruxue was saying discouraging things, her expression remained gentle, and there was even a slight smile in her eyes.

This smile was not mocking or arrogant, but simply humble.

Lin Han could only see such an elegant side of Su Ruxue when music was involved.

"Keep it up," Lin Han encouraged Su Ruxue.

"Su Ruxue," the middle-aged woman from before waved.

Su Ruxue stood up, sat down in front of the mirror, and then the middle-aged woman began to apply makeup to her.

PS: Family, the Moe Battle is about to begin. In the spirit of getting as much exposure as possible, Coffee is also planning to participate. If I can advance to the next round, that would be a win.
