Heartthrob, Your Ima Chapter 295: Zhou Yuwen Actually Learned the Piano for Me!?

"Zhou Yuwen!"

At this mont, Su Qing was searching everywhere backstage for Zhou Yuwen. After all, she had gone through a lot of trouble to get him to perform "Fleet of Ti" for her. She was genuinely terrified that Zheng Yanyan might run off with him right before it started. Seeing that Zhou Yuwen hadn't left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She hurried over to greet him, asking with a hint of resentnt, "Where did you run off to? I've been looking for you forever!"

Zhou Yuwen gave a soft sound of acknowledgnt and replied, "I went out to pick up Sister Xinyi."

Su Qing was always on guard against any girl who got close to Zhou Yuwen. Seeing Jiang Xinyi standing so near him, a trace of displeasure clearly flickered in Su Qing's eyes.

However, this hint of displeasure was quickly and expertly concealed. She put on a happy face and greeted Jiang Xinyi, "Ah! Sister Xinyi, are you here to watch the performance?"

"?"

Before Jiang Xinyi could speak, Zhou Yuwen interjected, "Sister Xinyi is here to accompany my performance. She's passed grade ten in piano."

"Oh, I see!" Hearing this, Su Qing beca genuinely happy. She took Jiang Xinyi's hand and said, "Then I'll really have to trouble you, Sister Xinyi. To think you're not only beautiful but also so incredibly talented. Sister Xinyi, I envy you so much!"

Jiang Xinyi smiled but didn't say anything.

Su Qing, on the other hand, had a lot to say to her. She chirped, "By the way, Sister Xinyi, since you're accompanying Zhou Yuwen, you must already know the lody of this song, right?"

Jiang Xinyi nodded in agreent.

"I only know the lody, but I don't know the lyrics yet."

"Ah, why didn't you tell Sister Xinyi the lyrics?" Su Qing imdiately put on a coquettish look as she questioned Zhou Yuwen.

Having dated Su Qing for four years and been married to her for two years...

Zhou Yuwen knew exactly what kind of underwear she was wearing just by the way she blinked.

He could naturally tell that Su Qing was pretending to be cute.

So, Zhou Yuwen replied with zero interest, "Oh, then why don't you tell her right now."

"I don't want to! You definitely have your reasons for doing things this way, so I'll just listen to you!" Su Qing held onto Zhou Yuwen's hand, looking every bit the sweet girl.

At this mont, Jiang Xinyi was highly curious.

'Wait, Zhou Yuwen, isn't your girlfriend Zheng Yanyan?'

"By the way, Sister Xinyi, did you know that Zhou Yuwen wrote this song specifically for !" Su Qing said with a great deal of pride.

"Ah?" This was sothing Jiang Xinyi genuinely didn't know.

She knew that Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing had dated in the past.

But the problem was, hadn't they broken up ages ago?

Besides, your girlfriend is Zheng Yanyan now. Is it really okay for you to act like this?

Jiang Xinyi shot Zhou Yuwen a slightly critical look.

Su Qing, however, continued to assert her ownership over Zhou Yuwen in front of Jiang Xinyi.

"That's right! Isn't it surprising, Sister Xinyi? Since you know the sheet music, tell , is this a good song or what?!"

She turned around and grabbed Jiang Xinyi's hand, asking her to give a proper evaluation.

Su Qing, this little green tea, was acting just like a sweet girl being thoroughly pampered by her boyfriend.

But for so reason, Jiang Xinyi felt completely awkward about the whole situation.

Seeing Su Qing staring at her with a face full of expectation, she let out an awkward murmur of agreent.

"Ah, just listening to the lody, it certainly is a good song!"

"Exactly, Sister Xinyi! Let

tell you, when Zhou Yuwen was courting , he sang this song all the ti, hehe!" Su Qing covered her mouth and giggled.

Zhou Yuwen rcilessly shot her down from the side, "You say that as if you could actually understand it. You're completely tone-deaf, what could you possibly understand?"

Having her true colors exposed by Zhou Yuwen, Su Qing blushed slightly and imdiately retorted, "Well, I could still feel your sincerity! Don't tell

you didn't like

when you were singing this song back then!"

"I don't like you now," Zhou Yuwen struck back ruthlessly.

"Ah! How annoying, I forbid you from saying that." Su Qing quickly pouted her lips.

"Ahem!"

Jiang Xinyi really couldn't stand this worldview-shattering scene any longer. She coughed twice and awkwardly interrupted, "Um, pardon my presumption, but aren't you Zhou Yuwen's ex-girlfriend?"

"?" Su Qing paused in surprise.

Okay, Jiang Xinyi really couldn't digest this kind of twisted logic.

Jiang Xinyi then turned to Zhou Yuwen and asked, "Isn't Zheng Yanyan your girlfriend?"

"?" Su Qing was taken aback again. "Sister Xinyi, you still don't know?"

"Know what?" Jiang Xinyi looked utterly curious.

Su Qing declared, "Zhou Yuwen has already broken up with Yanyan."

"You broke up with Yanyan!?" At this point, Jiang Xinyi's appetite for gossip was truly stoked.

Su Qing clung to Zhou Yuwen's arm and insisted that they had broken up a long ti ago!

"And Zhou Yuwen is about to get back together with ! Didn't you see he's going on stage just to sing for !"

"Hey, don't drag

into your bragging. I'm singing because I want to win the championship, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Yuwen could see that Jiang Xinyi was a girl with a very proper moral compass. If he let Su Qing spout nonsense, her entire family might end up having a bad impression of him.

Thus, Zhou Yuwen promptly cut off Su Qing's nonsense.

He added, "Also, I never said anything about getting back together with you. If you keep sprouting nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen pointed his index finger warningly at Su Qing.

Su Qing was unconvinced. "If you don't get back together with , who else are you going to date?"

Zhou Yuwen replied, "I could date anyone, but I'm definitely not getting back together with you."

"You!"

"If you keep this up, I won't go on stage."

"Hey! Don't do that!" Hearing that Zhou Yuwen might refuse to go on stage, Su Qing instantly panicked. She compromised, "Alright, fine! As long as you go on stage and sing this song, whatever you say goes!"

Zhou Yuwen huffed, "That's more like it."

"For the sake of your song, I even invited our company's top beauty over here, and this is how you ruin my reputation?" Zhou Yuwen said.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking. I'll take you guys over to get ready," Su Qing said quickly, trying to please him.

"That's better."

Su Qing led Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi to the preparation area. There were still two acts before Zhou Yuwen's turn, leaving them with about fifteen minutes.

As she brought Zhou Yuwen over, Su Qing took the opportunity to point out the location of the pianos on stage to Jiang Xinyi.

The auditorium had two pianos, positioned on the left and right sides of the stage.

"The one on the right is slightly better; it was just bought last year," Su Qing inford Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi murmured in acknowledgnt, indicating she understood.

"Alright, then you guys wait here. I need to get back to work," Su Qing stated.

Zhou Yuwen waved her off, telling her to go ahead.

Before leaving, Su Qing originally wanted to give Zhou Yuwen a hug, but he firmly stopped her.

Zhou Yuwen told her to keep her distance.

Su Qing was naturally unhappy about it, shooting Zhou Yuwen a resentful glare before walking away.

Even though Zhou Yuwen had deliberately maintained his distance from Su Qing, Jiang Xinyi was no fool. Anyone could see their relationship was a tangled ss.

So, after Su Qing left, Jiang Xinyi scoffed grumpily, "Scummy man."

"?" Zhou Yuwen was baffled. "Wait, big sis, what did I do now? How am I a scummy man again?"

Jiang Xinyi couldn't even be bothered to look at him, muttering testily, "If you're not a scummy man, how did you know I was talking about you?"

"..."

Zhou Yuwen was completely rendered speechless. He protested, "It's just the two of us here. If you're not talking about , could you be talking about your ex-boyfriend, Teacher Little You?"

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!" Jiang Xinyi had never once won when it ca to bickering with Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen feigned innocence, claiming he wasn't.

"You just said you weren't talking about , and since you don't interact with many guys, it can only be Teacher Little You."

Jiang Xinyi was infuriated. She snapped, "Just shut up. I'm 24 years old, and I've only ever had one boyfriend up until now. Look at yourself—you started dating in high school! Do you really have the nerve to talk about ? Am I wrong for calling you a scummy man?"

"But I've only ever dated two people as well. Besides, it wasn't

who wanted to break up; she's the one who dumped , okay? You won are all like this—when you're in love, you're head over heels, but when you stop loving, you just toss us away like garbage," Zhou Yuwen sighed as he sat there.

"She dumped you?" This genuinely took Jiang Xinyi by surprise.

Although she constantly called him a scummy man, Jiang Xinyi still acknowledged Zhou Yuwen's excellence deep down, so she felt a little curious.

What in the world was Su Qing thinking to actually dump soone like Zhou Yuwen?

Zhou Yuwen said there was nothing hard to understand about it.

"Doesn't everything in high school revolve around grades? My grades were terrible back then, while Su Qing had outstanding academic performance. Of course she was going to dump ."

"But didn't she also just get into a second-tier university?"

"Exactly. Later on, she realized that she and I were actually cut from the sa cloth, and she might even be worse off than . That's why she ca crawling back to chase after ," Zhou Yuwen explained in a casual, nonchalant tone.

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi couldn't hold back a sudden burst of laughter.

She hadn't expected him to describe a girl in such a manner, but putting herself in Zhou Yuwen's shoes, Jiang Xinyi actually found it quite satisfying.

Breaking up just because Zhou Yuwen's grades were poor?

And then wanting to get back together after failing to get into a good university herself!?

'Thinking about it that way, you're absolutely right, Little Zhou.'

'I wouldn't want a woman like her either.'

Jiang Xinyi gave Zhou Yuwen a thumbs-up, then pressed further, "Then what happened with Zheng Yanyan? Why did you two break up?"

"Because..." Zhou Yuwen was indeed quite relaxed at this mont, and his brain hadn't quite caught up. Just as he was about to answer, it suddenly hit him: 'Wait, no. When did I ever tell you that Yanyan and I broke up?'

Seeing Zhou Yuwen's reaction, Jiang Xinyi could confirm it.

They had definitely broken up for real.

She curled her lips, "Stop pretending. If you hadn't broken up with Zheng Yanyan, would that girl from earlier have been so proactive? Good on you, Zhou Yuwen, even hiding it from , huh? And to think I treated you like a little brother! I tell you everything, yet you keep things from !"

"Wait, you telling

your business is your own choice. I have the right to protect my privacy, alright?"

"Co on, tell

all about it!" Jiang Xinyi couldn't care less about his excuses.

She was already burning with anticipation, eager to feast on the gossip.

When she broke up with You Changjin previously, she had been stressed for quite a while.

Now, she wanted to know how Zhou Yuwen was dealing with his breakup.

Zhou Yuwen, however, insisted that there was nothing to talk about.

"We didn't break up, it's just a cooling-off period."

"You won't even tell

the truth?" Jiang Xinyi raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Yuwen maintained that they truly hadn't broken up; it was just a cooling-off period.

This displeased Jiang Xinyi. She huffed, "Zhou Yuwen, you're going to end up with no friends if you act like this."

Zhou Yuwen offered a wry smile, replying, "Sis, what would I gain from lying to you about this?"

No matter what Zhou Yuwen said, Jiang Xinyi simply refused to believe him.

But she wasn't in a hurry either.

She had heard Su Qing slip a ntion of it earlier.

It seed like the school forum was completely blowing up over it.

Normally, Jiang Xinyi never browsed the school forum.

But for the sake of consuming Zhou Yuwen's juicy gossip, she didn't mind taking a look.

By now, the evening gala was drawing to a close, and Zhou Yuwen's performance was the third to last act.

The gala featured a total of four hosts—two male and two female. The earlier segnt was hosted by Su Qing alongside a sophomore senior male student, while the later half was handled by a junior senior sister paired with a freshman junior male student.

Zhou Yuwen actually recognized this third-year senior sister.

It was Senior Sister Minmin from Tao Tian's dormitory.

As expected of an experienced senior sister—despite the freezing weather, she wore a black, off-the-shoulder evening gown completely adorned with sparkling faux diamonds. The lower half of the dress featured high slits on both sides, revealing a pair of beautiful legs clad in long boots.

She announced the next act on stage, projecting her voice, "Alright, our next performance is an original song by Zhou Yuwen from Landscape Architecture Class Two!"

"Fleet!"

"Of Ti!"

After the announcent ended, a commotion swept through the audience.

An original song?

Who was badass enough to compose an original song?

Wasn't this just pure showboating?

Hey, wait a minute, Zhou Yuwen?

That na sounds so familiar!

Isn't that the genius writer!?

Holy crap, he can sing too!

Word spread rapidly among the students in the audience. Their initial bewildernt quickly transford into absolute shock. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have reacted this way.

But since the person in question was Zhou Yuwen...

They were genuinely curious about what kind of song he was going to sing!

If this genius writer sang poorly...

The crowd would undoubtedly erupt in a chorus of boos and sighs.

But for now, they were definitely going to applaud loudly.

Clap! Clap! Clap! The crowd eagerly anticipated Zhou Yuwen's singing.

Looking at the suddenly hyperactive students in the audience...

The school administrators were thoroughly perplexed, exchanging bewildered glances with one another.

The principal of Zhou Yuwen's university was Li Ru, a middle-aged woman in her forties. She wore glasses and had a scholarly background, yet she also enjoyed the privileges of a deputy departntal level official.

She had t Liu Jing a few tis at social events in the past, so they were fairly acquainted. Seeing the fervent reaction from the students in the audience, she was slightly surprised and asked Liu Jing, "Is this that nephew of yours?"

"Yes, that's right." Liu Jing smiled faintly. Truth be told, watching Zhou Yuwen being so popular actually filled Liu Jing with a sense of pride akin to a doting old mother.

Her only regret was that Zhou Yuwen could never beco her actual son in this lifeti.

Sigh~

They always said a son-in-law is half a son, and Liu Jing truly, deeply wanted Zhou Yuwen to beco her son-in-law!

It was just a pity her daughter wasn't living up to expectations!

At this mont, the stage remained pitch-black as the stagehands were busy pushing the pianos to the front.

However, thanks to the sheer weight of Zhou Yuwen's na, the audience's anticipation had already skyrocketed to its peak.

Sitting in the very first row, Su Qing's face was brimming with anticipation.

The Student Union seating area was no longer as empty as it had been at the start; basically, all the students who had finished their duties were now seated there.

Shen Yu was seated right next to Su Qing.

Su Qing whispered to Shen Yu, "Just watch, Shen Yu."

"After tonight, everyone is going to be utterly captivated by Zhou Yuwen's talent!"

As for Shen Yu, she had been curious about Zhou Yuwen's musical piece for quite a long ti.

Just as they were waiting with hearts full of joyful expectation, Zheng Yanyan, who had disappeared to God-knows-where earlier, strolled over at a leisurely pace.

She was still wearing that sailor uniform. Not just anyone could pull off 12-centiter high heels, but Zheng Yanyan managed them flawlessly.

Rocking those high heels, Zheng Yanyan's legs looked incredibly long and slender. She strutted unhurriedly to her designated spot and sat down right next to Su Qing.

Su Qing was sowhat displeased to see Zheng Yanyan. Her expression flat, she muttered, "Why are you even coming over here? No one welcos you."

"Of course I had to co. My hubby is performing, how could I not show up?"

Su Qing's voice wasn't loud, but Zheng Yanyan heard it loud and clear. She had already made plans with Zhou Yuwen for tonight, so there was absolutely no reason for her to act timid around Su Qing anymore.

Zheng Yanyan had completely made up her mind tonight—she was going to thoroughly conquer Zhou Yuwen!

She didn't give a damn what song Su Qing wanted Zhou Yuwen to sing.

Regardless, Zhou Yuwen was a key that would only be devoted to opening her lock from now on!

Sotis, Su Qing was so unbearably arrogant that Zheng Yanyan was tempted to record a video while her "lock" was being opened, just to show Su Qing exactly how Zhou Yuwen was working her.

Hearing this, Su Qing naturally scoffed with disdain. She snapped, "What do you an 'hubby'? You two already broke up, yet you still call him hubby. You're completely shaless."

"Who told you we broke up? We're just in a cooling-off period," Zheng Yanyan retorted dismissively, crossing her long, elegant legs.

"Hmph." Su Qing scoffed, equally dismissive.

It didn't matter. She could be as stubborn as she wanted.

But once this song was over, the entire university would know exactly who Zhou Yuwen truly liked.

What would be the point of her stubbornness then?

At this point, the stage was still completely engulfed in darkness.

Down in the audience, people were whispering and chatting amongst themselves.

When Li Qiang heard that Zhou Yuwen was going to perform an original song, he was indeed quite surprised.

"Wait, Brother Hao, did you hear that? Old Zhou can actually write songs!"

"Shh, be quiet!" Chang Hao made a shushing gesture.

"?" Li Qiang was puzzled.

It was because Chang Hao seed to vaguely hear the sound of a piano.

That's right, a piano.

The notes drifted out from the pitch-black stage. The piano lody sounded like a sudden rainy night, sending a wave of desolation washing over everyone with its gentle, pitter-patter prelude.

Right at that mont, an LED spotlight pierced the darkness.

Wow~

The entire audience gasped in amazent.

So beautiful!

Jiang Xinyi was revealed in the light, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She wore an off-the-shoulder white dress. The design didn't heavily expose her legs, but a short expanse of her long leg peaked through the slit of the dress.

She had applied beautiful makeup.

She looked just like a fairy descending to the mortal realm.

She shone radiantly under the spotlight.

"Who is that girl!?"

"She's gorgeous! Is she from our university?"

"Isn't this Zhou Yuwen's performance?"

Just then, amidst this rainy night lody, another musical elent blended in.

It sounded just like a passerby walking through the rain.

Wait a minute, this song...

It sounded so familiar...

But they just couldn't put a finger on its na.

Regardless, the song was incredibly pleasant to the ears.

The piano lody alone was enough to instantly pull everyone into a vivid story.

It didn't sound like just one person playing?

Was it two people playing?

But there was only the girl on stage!

Exactly at that mont, a second powerful spotlight shone down.

It revealed that directly opposite the girl, there was shockingly another piano.

And the person playing that piano was none other than Zhou Yuwen!?

The sa Zhou Yuwen who wrote novels!?

Wait, how on earth did he know how to play the piano too?

At this point, the crowd was beyond stunned.

Even Su Qing froze in her tracks.

That freeze was imdiately followed by a surge of ecstatic surprise.

'Z-Zhou Yuwen actually learned to play the piano just for ?!'
