Chapter 158 - 158 Competition
158 Competition
Wei Jiaoniang casually threw the shuttlecock up and caught it. She smiled and said, “Yanfei, do you know what I hate most about these people?”
She did not really want Gu Yanfei to answer, and she immediately answered her own question. “They’re so pretentious!”
“They’re too pretentious!”
“We’re all humans, but they have to pretend that they’re otherworldly fairies.”
Wei Jiaoniang snorted disapprovingly and threw the shuttlecock again.
“That makes sense!” Gu Yanfei felt that Wei Jiaoniang’s words were really interesting. She smiled until her dimples appeared, and her smile was like a flower.
Yanfei is so beautiful, like a flower! Wei Jiaoniang exclaimed sincerely in her heart. She patted Gu Yanfei’s shoulder boldly and smiled slyly. She pointed at herself with her thumb and said, “Watch me.”
She would help Yanfei!
Wei Jiaoniang’s eyes were sparkling like the morning stars.
Gu Yanfei felt that she understood, but also seemed to not understand a little.
However, seeing how happy Wei Jiaoniang was, she should be saying something good!
“Okay.” Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded. “Take it away!”
Wei Jiaoniang seemed to have been fed with some miracle medicine, for she became more energetic and happy. She held Gu Yanfei’s arm and returned happily.
A desolate and mellow sound of the zither sounded faintly in the forest. It was like a sob, lingering and moving…
Wei Jiaoniang’s eyes darted around as she excitedly suggested, “Lu Qin, let’s play drums and pass on flowers!”
She winked playfully with her right eye.
Lu Qin and Wei Jiaoniang had been friends for many years. When Wei Jiaoniang raised her tail, Lu Qin knew what she wanted to do and tacitly said, “There are no drums here. Let’s go get a gong.”
A bright smile appeared on Lu Qin’s face, and she was eager to try.
“A gong sounds good.” Wei Jiaoniang snapped her fingers happily.
She wanted to see if the sound of the zither or the gong would be louder.
The two girls were in high spirits and did as they were told. After a while, they really found a gong.
Gu Yanfei and the other girls were a little stunned at first. Gradually, they understood and vaguely guessed that Wei Jiaoniang was competing with those women from the aristocratic families.
Interesting! Gu Yanfei was also interested. She felt that it was good to create trouble for everyone.
Her smile widened, and she waved the shuttlecock in her hand. “How about we use this shuttlecock as a flower ball?”
Gu Yanfei’s suggestion was unanimously approved by the others.
The girls quickly stood in a large circle. In the first round, Wei Jiaoniang turned around and was in charge of striking the gong.
Clang!
A deafening gong sounded through the forest, followed by a second, then a third…
The sound of the gong easily drowned out the sound of the zither, causing the original poignant and gentle atmosphere to disappear.
The girls surrounding the zither table could not help but frown. They glanced at Wei Jiaoniang and the others with displeasure.
“Quick, quick, quick…”
“Pass it faster!”
Lu Qin and the others shouted as they quickly passed the shuttlecock.
That shuttlecock became a hot potato. Gu Yanfei passed it to Lu Qin, and Lu Qin passed it to her cousin. One passed it to the next, and the shuttlecock flew faster and faster…
At the same time, the sound of the gong did not stop. The more Wei Jiaoniang knocked, the more excited she became, and the rhythm of the gong became faster and faster.
Even the person playing the zither was affected. The melody and rhythm were led astray, and she played faster and faster…
Clang!
Her hands trembled, and one of the strings snapped.
The sound of the zither stopped abruptly, leaving only the few remaining strings still humming softly.
Broken strings were really ominous!
The faces of the women from the aristocratic families darkened.
The sound of the gong nearby also stopped at this moment. Someone shouted happily, “The shuttlecock has fallen into Lu Qin’s hands! Come, come, Lu Qin, let’s do a roundhouse spiral kick!”
There was another round of giggling and jeering. The girl playing the zither was so angry that her hands were trembling slightly.
“Sister Zeng, is your hand okay?” Yu Chaoyun gently checked the other party’s hand and stroked it a few times. “I brought my zither too…”
She was about to raise her hand to summon the maidservant when she was stunned again. She looked in a certain direction and muttered, “…The Eldest Prince is looking at her.”
Yu Chaoyun’s voice was very low, but all the girls around her heard her clearly.
As soon as she said this, the other women from the aristocratic families all looked at the shed where Chu Yi was, including Miss Zeng, who had just played the zither.
Sure enough—
Chu Yi, who was sitting behind the wine table, was quietly watching Gu Yanfei with a smile on his lips.
