“She is so cute…”
The guys’ eyes were on fixed on Lin Yumeng’s cute and lovely appearance. They felt envious and jealous in their hearts.
The girls looked subconsciously at Lin Yumeng’s chest. They then looked down at their own, and they could only helplessly sigh. They couldn’t compare with her!
Sure enough, all men like women with big breasts.
Su Chen smiled and waved back.
Lin Yumeng smiled sweetly and then found the seniors around Su Chen staring at her. Her small face blushed instantly, and she ran to her classmates and sat with them.
Shen Tianze, who was sitting in the back, folded his arms and watched all of this. His blank expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Students around him felt an inexplicable pressure. They did not dare continue to laugh and talk. The atmosphere around him was weirdly quiet.
Fortunately, it didn’t last long. Soon the music in the auditorium changed, and two well-dressed emcees moved to the center of the stage from the right and the left. They started the ceremony with a preamble.
“First of all, let’s welcome Han Hong and Zhao Mei, teachers from our Literature and Art department, as well as our seniors from the third year, who will bring us big-time dance and song.”
As the clear voice of the female host quieted, the lights on the stage dimmed. The music played, and one after another long-legged girl filed out from both sides and began to dance.
Next the beautiful and handsome teachers walked onstage as they sang with microphones in their hands.
There were tens of thousands of teachers and students at the University of Magic City, and many talented people were among them.
The two teachers sang beautifully.
Of course, most of the boys’ eyes were on the pairs of long legs, and they whispered about them.
The notifications of the increments in proficiency in Su Chen’s mind was constantly emerging one after another. The notifications were all about the increment in the proficiency of the dancing skills, however. Singing skills’ proficiency did not increase.
He was slightly surprised about this, but he guessed what was happening quickly.
It was probably because his singing skill level was higher than these two teachers, so the proficiency did not increase.
“Look quickly. It is Zhao Mengya, senior, on the left. Oh my god, this pair of long legs! I could definitely play them for a year.” said Pan Xiaojie with a low voice and a cheap grin as his elbow hit Su Chen.
Su Chen looked at him speechlessly as his sight moved toward the senior. Her long legs were beautiful indeed, and she had a lovely appearance too.
He was looking at her appreciatively, of course.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. His Mengmeng was more beautiful in his heart, however
“Brother Pan, good taste. Zhao Mengya is definitely a gorgeous lady.”
“Her legs start from her neck. That definitely describes a girl like her.”
“Tao Rou is attractive too. You see that pair of ‘murderous’ weapons, haha…”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like Tao Rou too.”
The few guys commented enthusiastically.
“Hey, you guys. Please don’t be so disgusting.” The class’s tomboy, Mi Ya, turned and glared at them in disgust.
“How could you say this is disgusting? Appreciating beauty is a man’s nature. Aren’t you women wearing beautiful clothes, beautiful makeup for us guys to look at?” Pan Xiaojie calmly retorted.
“That’s right. That’s right…”
The boys were all heckling.
The girls hissed contemptuously.
“Why don’t you all look at Su Chen. He is not so disgusting as you are.” said a girl as she pointed at Su Chen.
The guys stared at Sue Chen at once with threatening looks.
“Well…I think the seniors are pretty, too.” Su Chen smiled weakly. The guys nodded with pleasure, until Su Chen added, “But I think my girlfriend is better looking.”
Swish…Swish…
The words were like knives to single men and women, and they hurt. Everyone was speechless, then they silently turned back to watch the performance.
Su Chen scratched his head in confusion.
What is going on here? He was telling the truth!
“Brother Chen, you will have no friends if you are like this,” said Pan Xiaojie with a serious expression as he patted his shoulder.
Su Chen blinked his eyes in puzzlement.
“Ah! Looks like I’ll have to find a girlfriend,” Pan Xiaojie muttered. “I broke up with my seventh girlfriend during summer vacation. I am now single and envious of Su Chen too.”
Guo Lei rubbed his chin and turned his sight turned toward Qian Manman, who sat beside Lin Yumeng.

The ceremony was in full swing. Performers sang and danced, did sketch comedy, played the erhu, performed magic shows. One after another, the acts were wonderfully presented.
Warm applause was heard from time to time.
Su Chen quietly watched. The proficiency of all kinds of skills was improving, and new skill icons lit up, such as magic tricks, playing the erhu, and so on.
When a senior student’s song ended, the male host took the stage.
“We all know that the piano is the king of musical instruments. Hard work and talent are indispensable to playing the piano well. Our University of Magic City has many graceful and talented people. There is such a senior. He passed the piano level ten when he was ten years old and became champion on the youth piano competition too.”
When the host said this, his voice rose three times higher than before, and he shouted passionately, “Now, please welcome our handsome, talented Shen Tianze senior. He will perform a piano solo. Please enjoy!”
When he finished his sentence, the lights dimmed. The crew quickly brought a piano to center stage.
“That guy can really lick his boots!” Pan Xiaojie laughed with a sneer. He would naturally stand by Su Chen’s side in the conflict between Su Chen and Shen Tianze.
Su Chen glanced at him strangely when he heard this.
Inside the hall, the students started to gossip noisily, especially some girls who were looking forward to the performance.
Shen Tianze was popular at the University of Magic City. Even the girls in Su Chen’s class had good impressions of him. They felt they’d better not show it, however, because Su Chen was there.
Soon, everything was set up.
A beam of light cut through the darkness and shone straight to the right corner of the stage.
Shen Tianze, who was wore a white shirt and a smile on his face, came out slowly into the light.
“Oh! God, senior Shen is so handsome!”
“He is the Prince Charming of the University of Magic City. He is really handsome!”
“He has such a charming smile.”
“Senior, I love you.”
“…”
The girls were excited. A few bold ones even directly cried and expressed their love.
Shen Tianze had a smile that was like a spring wind. He bowed toward the audience below when he went up to the stage and sat on the piano bench. He tidied his shirt sleeves and collar in a gentlemanly manner.
Then, his fingers dropped gently and touched the black and white keys like a performer.
It was dark on all sides of the stage. There was only a beam of light illuminating Shen Tianze and the piano in front of him.
The slow, melodious piano sounded, instantly arousing the audience’s minds and hearts.
