Shen Jingqi squeezed Li Baiyu's hand and comforted her.
Their minds were highly focused, scanning the surroundings.
"I felt a glance flash by; she seems to have seen us and hid."
There were groups of three to five people around, some walking alone, but all were on the move.
The cafeteria wasn't far away.
This was the newly built cafeteria at Shen University, with four floors in total. The source of thɪs content is NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
The bottom three layers were public canteens, needing a student card to dine.
The fourth floor housed various restaurants, allowing open consumption.
Li Baiyu pointed towards the fourth floor of the cafeteria.
Shen Jingqi quickly locked her gaze on the entire fourth floor.
It was full of information tags.
The fourth floor had an elevator that went straight to the first floor.
As people came out, Shen Jingqi's gaze spotted a person with no information tag on their head.
She was quite tall, about half a head taller than the girls around her and about the same height as a few boys.
She had her head down, wearing a mask, seemingly avoiding the eyes around her on purpose.
At the very moment Shen Jingqi's gaze met hers, she suddenly turned around and picked up her pace.
"Senior sister, is she your illusion, Cong Nanxue?"
Shen Jingqi pointed at the hurried departing figure.
At this time, Li Baiyu's expression changed.
Her eyes darted around, focusing on the newly added dishes on the display board.
"These are all new dishes!"
"Let's hurry and go up to eat; it'll be crowded, and there will be no seats soon!"
Li Baiyu suddenly yanked Shen Jingqi's hand.
Her hand was cold just now, but now it suddenly felt warm.
"Senior sister, you~"
Before Shen Jingqi could finish speaking, Li Baiyu pulled her up forcefully and rushed toward the elevator.
Finally, the two squeezed into the elevator as the door closed.
People around looked at Li Baiyu and Shen Jingqi.
A girl examined Li Baiyu, moved her lips, and her eyes began to sparkle.
Then, several girls lowered their heads and whispered.
The elevator door opened.
The fourth floor had arrived.
Some people were already sitting inside.
"Let's quickly order!"
Li Baiyu pulled Shen Jingqi to the western food counter.
"Classic original pasta, ham pizza, king fried chicken, egg tart, salad, classic milk tea."
"Classic pasta, double-layer beef burger, freshly squeezed orange juice."
Finding a seat, the two began to wait.
"There are 13 people ahead of us in line for food~"
Li Baiyu rested her cheek on her hand, bored, looking at the receipt.
She removed the string from the milk tea and gathered her hair.
In the blink of an eye, a girl with a high ponytail appeared.
She looked nothing like Li Baiyu!
She took a sip of milk tea and started looking around.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
She rose and walked over to a piano, then sat down.
This was the piano in the cafeteria where anyone could freely play.
Usually, now and then, someone would showcase their piano skills, performing a bit.
Shen Jingqi had seen the oldest performer with gray hair, as well as children around 5 or 6 years old.
They sat on the stool, playing, expressing themselves.
At this moment, the girl's hands touched the keyboard, and beautiful notes instantly filled the hall.
Her slender hands danced on the piano, flowing smoothly, attracting many people around.
The girl who had been observing in the elevator was the first to rush over.
She had a few other girls around her; their eyes shone with infatuation, madness.
The piece ended abruptly.
The girl's hands rested on the piano.
But the surrounding sounds gradually rose.
"Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao! I love you!"
The girl shouted, and the area became lively.
A dozen people also shouted enthusiastically.
Shen Jingqi stood in the middle of the crowd, her mind racing.
The girl held a bouquet, facing the girl.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm your fan, can you accept this?"
"I really like your songs; I can sing all of them. I even went to your concert last time. So excited to see you at school. I, I~"
The girl's eyes welled up with tears, and her hand holding the bouquet trembled slightly.
The girl took the bouquet, smiling:
The girl jumped up excitedly, covering her eyes, slightly losing control of her emotions.
Information flashed on her head:
[Junior in the School of Arts, fan of singer Xiaoxiao]
She really was a singer!
Shen Jingqi pondered.
"Xiaoxiao, I love you too!"
"Xiaoxiao, we all love you!"
Voices from several boys.
Instantly, the surrounding sounds echoed again.
Clang clang clang~ clang~
The girl's fingers slid out a note.
The surroundings quieted down.
Full of youthful vitality.
The girl on the chair lifted her head and began to sing.
The ethereal tone, straightforwardly striking the brain's circuits, pulled people into a trance.
Those around showed a face filled with intoxication, enjoying the melodious midday.
This song, I've heard it before.
It was exactly the music Li Baiyu's sweet persona played for me a few nights ago.
Shen Jingqi felt her brain heat up.
"When are you planning to release it?"
"Haven't decided on a name yet?"
"What do you think it should be called?"
"How about 'Silver Light'?"
"That's the name then."
The scene from the video appeared in Shen Jingqi's mind.
And it overlapped with the scene in front of her.
Applause erupted around!
"Xiaoxiao, it's so good! Is this your new song?"
The junior student of the art school asked excitedly.
"Yes, do you like it?"
"Love it, love it! It's so beautiful!"
"Xiaoxiao, when will this song be officially released?"
"What's this song called? When it's released, I'll be the first to support it!"
Shen Jingqi's brain suddenly heated up as if a string was plucked again.
"Wow, what a beautiful name!"
"Yes, yes, we really like it!"
"Xiaoxiao, you must release it soon!"
"I will, thank you for your support, please continue to support me in the future."
"Xiaoxiao, we'll definitely support you!"
"Don't worry Xiaoxiao, we'll support you forever and always love you!"
"Xiaoxiao, only you are in my heart; your voice intoxicates me!"
The voices erupted again around them.
The girl suddenly looked at Shen Jingqi, quickly stood up, pulled Shen Jingqi out of the crowd, amidst the surprised looks of the crowd, towards the food station.
"The pasta is really tasty."
Sauce had gotten on the corner of the girl's mouth, but she didn't even bother to wipe it.
Not until she finished the entire plate of pasta did she satisfyingly put down her knife and fork.
Watching the girl eating with relish, feeling satisfied, Shen Jingqi finally spoke up.
"Hello. What's your name, please?"
"My name is Lin Xiaocan."
