In a flash, Lin Ming’s punch came flying.
Seeing the blazing fury burning in Lin Ming’s eyes, Li Ran inwardly praised him.
Even with the plot already this chaotic, it still managed to continue!
As expected of the protagonist, the chosen one!
Li Ran did not hesitate. He immediately went along with it, improvising as he forcefully pulled Mu Bingxuan, this troublesome woman, aside.
“Bingxuan, move! This has nothing to do with you! I’m going to teach this brat a lesson today!”
Li Ran charged forward.
Then he simply let Lin Ming’s fist land on his body.
With his god-level body tempering technique, Lin Ming’s punch felt like nothing more than a tickle.
Instead, Lin Ming let out a muffled groan and pulled his hand back in pain.
Seeing this, Li Ran quickly put on an act of being injured.
He suddenly leaped backward, flying 2 meters away.
Mu Bingxuan, who had fallen to the ground, covered her mouth in shock, tears of emotion filling her eyes.
Even knowing he was no match for Lin Ming, he still rushed forward for her without hesitation.
The way Li Ran fought desperately… it was simply too handsome!
At that moment, a female voice suddenly rang out.
“Student Lin Ming, how could you strike so harshly!”
At the same time, Li Ran, who had been sent flying, did not fall to the ground as he had expected.
Wait, something’s wrong… why didn’t I hit the ground?
What’s behind my head?
Why does it feel soft… and a bit elastic?
Li Ran rubbed his head against it.
It was truly soft… warm, even fragrant!
He hurriedly turned his head.
Then he saw a delicate, fair face with a rosy glow.
Damn!
Why is this woman behind me?!
Bai Weiwei… weren’t you on Lin Ming’s side?
Why did you run behind me?
A sneak attack?!
Li Ran was completely stunned.
The surrounding crowd was once again dumbfounded.
They saw that as Li Ran flew backward, the music department’s goddess-like teacher, Bai Weiwei, had just happened to appear at the exact spot where he landed… and caught him.
And Li Ran, of all people, was rubbing his head against her chest.
What the hell?!
Something like this can happen?!
Someone punch me too, let me see if this is just my imagination!
“Li Ran, are you alright?”
Mu Bingxuan rushed over, helping Bai Weiwei support him.
Li Ran was speechless.
I’m fine! I’m completely fine!
Maybe you should go check on the protagonist instead!
What is going on?!
Mu Bingxuan is one thing, but Bai Weiwei… what’s wrong with you?
The protagonist is over there!
Lin Ming’s face had already turned as dark as charcoal.
“Professor Bai, please let go, I can stand on my own.”
The plot had just gotten back on track, and now it was completely derailed again. New chapters come out on g.com first.
At this point, wasn’t Bai Weiwei supposed to stand on Lin Ming’s side, scold him, and then invite Lin Ming to join the music academy?
Li Ran felt it was necessary to remind her.
He needed to make her aware of her role.
“Um, Professor Bai… why are you here?”
Li Ran looked at Bai Weiwei expectantly.
Say it, hurry up and say you’re here to invite Lin Ming into the music academy!
Show that you’re here to support him!
Bai Weiwei gazed at Li Ran with gentle, shimmering eyes.
“Li Ran, would you be interested in taking up music as a second major and joining our music academy?”
Li Ran: ???
He was completely stunned.
Who wants to join your music academy?
Didn’t you notice I don’t even attend my main major classes?
Is this woman working together with Mu Bingxuan to mess with me?
Li Ran’s mind buzzed.
He had already tried his best to keep a low profile, to hide himself.
Back on stage, Lin Ming had been playing the piano so flamboyantly. Was Bai Weiwei blind? Anyone with functioning ears could tell that Lin Ming’s piano was far better than his violin.
So why invite him instead of Lin Ming?
“What’s the reason?” Li Ran asked.
He genuinely could not understand.
His reputation as a useless playboy had spread throughout the Magic Capital. Even those who had never met him had heard of his name.
Without the backing of the Li Family, he would not even have been able to enter Magic Capital University.
In the academy, countless people avoided him like the plague.
Had Bai Weiwei lost her mind?
She was actually inviting him to join the music academy?
Would the teachers and students there even agree?
Bai Weiwei smiled slightly and blinked.
“Because I know… you have great musical talent.”
Lin Ming’s eyes widened instantly.
Li Ran… had great musical talent?
For a moment, he thought he had misheard.
He simply could not believe those words had come from Bai Weiwei.
During this period, Lin Ming had already familiarized himself with the academy.
He knew Bai Weiwei well.
This beautiful associate professor came from a musical family, possessed extraordinary talent, and had extremely high standards.
And now, this very Bai Weiwei… was praising Li Ran?
Lin Ming was dumbfounded.
Bai Weiwei was one of the beauties of Magic Capital University, her looks no less stunning than Mu Bingxuan’s.
Tonight’s performance had been meant to achieve two goals for Lin Ming.
First, to impress Mu Bingxuan.
Second, to showcase his musical talent and earn Bai Weiwei’s admiration.
Yet unexpectedly, after he poured his heart into his performance, Bai Weiwei had taken a liking to Li Ran instead!
Lin Ming nearly spat out blood in frustration.
Where did Li Ran have any musical talent?
He almost wanted to walk up to Bai Weiwei and tell her that his musical ability was 10,000 times greater than that useless playboy’s!
The surrounding students were equally shocked.
At this moment, everyone was full of question marks.
Li Ran had musical talent?
Even if Bai Weiwei said it, they simply could not believe it.
Who at Magic Capital University did not know that the young master of the Li Family was a good-for-nothing? This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Then, many people recalled the earlier scene where Bai Weiwei had caught Li Ran.
They remembered how Li Ran had rubbed his head against her chest while she showed no anger.
At that moment, they seemed to understand something.
Their gazes toward Li Ran suddenly filled with shock and disbelief.
Could it be… he even managed to win over Professor Bai?!
Damn…
As for Li Ran, seeing Bai Weiwei blinking at him, he finally understood.
He had almost forgotten about the time he played the flute at Old Master Bai’s house and got caught by her.
So his musical talent had already been completely exposed to Bai Weiwei!
Fine.
No more hiding.
Li Ran decided to go with the flow.
So what if his talent was exposed?
No need to panic.
His image as a spoiled young villain had not collapsed yet.
No matter how well he played, it had nothing to do with his character.
Now was the perfect time for his arrogant persona to shine.
Let’s see who acts better!
Li Ran burst into laughter, “Good, very good! Professor Bai, you have excellent judgment. You saw that my musical talent is extraordinary.”
“In all of Magic Capital University, you’re the only one with real insight… these ordinary people could never understand that I’ve been gifted and brilliant since childhood!”
Instantly, the surrounding crowd rolled their eyes so hard they almost threw up.
Someone shouted, “Don’t stop me, I’m going to punch this Li Family brat!”
Even self-praise had its limits!
Some felt Lin Ming’s earlier punch had been too light.
Others felt it had been too heavy and had damaged Li Ran’s brain.
Seeing their reactions, Li Ran chuckled inwardly and became even more arrogant.
“It’s not that I don’t want to join your music academy. But with my level of talent, do you think your teachers are even capable of teaching me?”
As if I’d ever join your music academy. Going home and living as Young Master Li is far better.
Bai Weiwei fell silent.
Indeed, with Li Ran’s level of musical attainment, he could practically be invited as a teacher.
The surrounding students were stunned.
How confident did one have to be to say something like that?
If they didn’t know the Li Family had donated a teaching building to get him into the university, they might have almost believed him.
This guy’s brain really must have been damaged by Lin Ming’s punch!
At this point, having dealt with Bai Weiwei, Li Ran did not want to stay any longer.
The required plot had already played out.
He had been hit by Lin Ming.
It was time to leave.
“Alright, enough talking. This young master suddenly feels a bit dizzy. Bodyguards, bodyguards! Hurry and help me back!”
The two bodyguards stepped forward to support him.
Oh right, almost forgot to throw in a threat.
“Lin Ming, you just wait after hitting me!”
Lin Ming: ???
I punched you once, and you only reacted 10 minutes later?
Also, I hit your chest… why are you holding your head?
Are you trying to scam me?!
