I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 113 No... then which window did God close for her?

As the sports meet officially began, each class went to line up.

At the very front of the classroom stood Yin Mengran, holding a sign representing their class.

Even just standing there quietly, she attracted many eyes, as if every move Yin Mengran made could tug at their heartstrings.

Because of his height, Zhou Heng stood at the very back of the line, meaning he was the furthest away from his girlfriend...

Even though Zhou Heng was at the very back, he could still hear the other students chatting in the class:

"Every class will be performing a show later, right? Does our class have one?"

"Oh right! Could it be that the class monitor forgot about this? What should we do?"

"What? I've already asked around. Our class has a performance; Tang Zhi is performing a dance."

"Tang Zhi? Performance? Dance? Such niche words, I didn't know these words could be combined like this? What exactly did they find on Tang Zhi that they could force her to perform?"

"Who knows? For Tang Zhi to perform alone, it's probably some serious threat like kidnapping her family..."

Zhou Heng, listening from behind, couldn't help but chuckle. They only knew Tang Zhi superficially and assumed she was the kind of person who would hide in a corner and remain inconspicuous, someone best avoided in any situation.

But that's only half the story. Tang Zhi does dislike sports meets and doesn't want anything to do with them, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of performing.

Having won numerous performance awards throughout her life, she was used to performing in front of a large audience and rarely felt nervous.

I don't want to perform because I find it boring.

Once the host finishes reading the opening remarks, the opening ceremony officially begins.

Each class then began to walk out of their lines in order, proceed to the front of the stage, and perform their respective program.

Most classes still performed gymnastics or simple dances as a whole class.

It's fair to say they didn't put in much effort; it's just mediocre, enough to get by.

A small number of classes had three to five people performing, and the performances included various acts such as dance and acrobatics.

When it was Zhou Heng's class's turn, Yin Mengran led the way out, and the eyes of the other classes followed her.

What are they going to perform?

"I don't know, could we let that girl perform? I really want to see her perform..."

"She is a very good student; her exam score this time was second only to Liao Haomiao."

"Ah, now that you mention it! I remember now! It was her!"

Most people were discussing it, and the focus of the discussion was Yin Mengran.

Most people have an impression of Yin Mengran; after all, she's the top student in her class, and almost every student in every class will remember her.

Their line stopped in front of the podium, and after a few seconds, the entire class remained unmoved.

This left everyone wondering what kind of performance their class was going to put on.

But actually, even they themselves didn't know; most of them looked completely bewildered, staring at each other with awkward expressions.

Yin Mengran stood at the front, her heart filled with trust in Tang Zhi, and she appeared calm and composed.

"Ring—ring—"

Just then, in the midst of complete silence, a series of bell sounds came from somewhere.

Along with that, the soul-stirring sound of the xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute) and other melodious music filled the air.

All eyes were drawn to one spot: a figure emerged from the entrance.

She wore a moon-colored gauze dance dress, her sleeves flowing like clear water, her skirt fluttering like fluorescent light, making her look like a fairy under the moon.

Tiny silver bells adorn the hem of the skirt, and as you walk, their ethereal and clear sound spreads out.

That flawless face, lightly made up, was breathtakingly handsome, with a pair of silver eyes that were both cool and deep.

A crescent-shaped scarlet mark between her brows accentuated her noble and arrogant air.

"Wow!!"

Upon his appearance, the entire school erupted in cheers once again.

Especially Zhou Heng's own class, everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.

"Who is that?! Is it Tang Zhi?"

"Tang Zhi?! Really?!"

"Oh My God..."

As the music rose and fell, a hint of melancholy appeared in Tang Zhi's eyes, as if she were telling a story untold. Every gesture seemed to reveal her inner world to the world around her.

Yin Mengran stood at the very front, smiling slightly. The gasps and exclamations that Tang Zhi evoked as she walked slowly towards them made her especially happy.

She was overjoyed that her wonderful friend had finally had her charm recognized by the public!

Tang Zhi moved to the center and began her dance, gently raising her fair wrists as if they were willow branches swaying in the breeze.

Her toes lightly touched the ground, as if she were walking on clouds, light and agile, her graceful figure twirling to the music.

Every movement is like a meticulously choreographed poem, fluid and graceful.

The students fell silent, quietly enjoying the dance. Time seemed to stand still, with only the melodious music and the dance playing.

About five minutes later, the music stopped, and Tang Zhi stood still, making a finishing gesture.

Everyone seemed reluctant to leave; even after the music stopped, they remained silent.

Until, a round of applause rang out.

Tang Zhi couldn't help but turn her head to look, and found that the applause came from the person behind her, Yin Mengran.

She clapped and smiled, a faint smile in her eyes.

"Snapped--"

Then, a second and a third round of applause followed, eventually turning into cheers from the entire audience, applauding the wonderful performance.

"This girl is in their class too?! How come all these stunning girls are in their class?"

"Her grades are excellent! She's probably in the top ten of her grade!"

"Really? No... then which window did God close for her? The differences in human abilities are so exaggerated, okay?"

In an instant, all attention shifted from Yin Mengran to Tang Zhi.

That dance video was filmed by many people with their phones, and within minutes it spread across various group chats and platforms...

Zhou Heng, standing at the back of the line, was also clapping silently, a smile on his lips and a hint of pride in his eyes.

Looking at Tang Zhi's back in front of him, for a fleeting moment, he transformed into a familiar long-haired little girl.

He would also cling to me every day, following behind me, calling out "brother" over and over again...
