C98 Open Challenge

In my heart, I really didn't want this group of students to know about my relationship with Ojairi. On the one hand, I didn't want to cause trouble for the negative public opinion of Ojairi and the Ou family. On the other hand, I was afraid that because of this identity, the friendship between us that had just been established would suddenly become estranged.

The sky gradually darkened as he was worried about being recognized and anticipating the events that would follow.

The concert was just a small concert. After finding the seat that my classmates previously reserved, I finally felt slightly relieved.

The atmosphere at the music festival was very good, it was a group of young people who loved music. The singers onstage also performed very diligently, unknowingly, almost everyone began to spontaneously wave their arms and glow sticks to the rhythm of the music. Some of them even started to sing some familiar songs along with the singers onstage in high spirits.

After I was immersed in the music, I didn't notice that Ojira had called me three times in a row. It wasn't until my classmates saw my cell phone light up in my pocket that they reminded me not to miss his fourth call.

I picked up my cell phone and jogged out of the noisy concert venue. Since the music festival was in the open, there wasn't much quiet around. I ran to the other side of the road, where the high-pitched music was slightly quieter.

I picked up the phone, apologizing first. "Hey, I didn't see my phone just now. Sorry about that."

"It's fine, there's no need to be so polite with me." There was a faint sense of exhaustion in Ou Jia Rui's voice. He had probably just finished his day's work before he had the time to call me. Recently, from his infrequent visits and phone calls, I guessed that he was very busy with his work.

While covering one of my ears, I tried to speak loudly to Ou Jia Rui as much as possible: "I'm outside right now. What business do you have? Can you send me a message if you need anything? It's a little noisy here."

"Yes, I can." After Ochjaru won the call, he hung up.

When I took my phone and returned to my seat, I received a message from Ou Jia Rui. "Where are you right now? Is it safe?"

"My friends and I are watching a music festival outside. We're all new classmates that we've met in class, so it's very safe." After typing these words, in order to make Ou Jia Rui feel at ease, I added, "It's a festival hosted by the Ou family. If there's anything I can do, I can contact the staff at the venue."

This time, Ou Jia Rui replied very quickly: "Give me your seat number and your friend's seat number?"

I was afraid that Ou Jia Rui would attract another group of people to take care of us, so I typed it out quickly and sent it, "What are you going to do? I don't want my classmates to know who I am, do you understand? "

"I can understand. I won't reveal your identity. Don't worry."

I had no choice but to send out the location information for all of us as requested by Ochira.

In less than twenty minutes, two Euclidean staff members were walking toward me with two large plates filled with all kinds of drinks and snacks, even a finely crafted glow stick and a few shiny trinkets. I was a little worried that their attitude towards me would lead my friend to find out.

As the two staff members approached, I realized my worries were superfluous. One of the staff members placed something on the ground beside us, "Hello, Miss Zhou. Here is the item you ordered. Please enjoy."

The surrounding girls started cheering when they saw these things. Some even half-jokingly said, "Xin Yao, we can't let your pocket be injured. There's quite a lot of these things just by looking at it. Tell us about the expenses later, and we'll share it with each other." The surrounding people also agreed with this suggestion.

I smiled as I waved my hand, and told him a white lie, "Haha, no need to put it to heart, I just happen to have a friend here as a staff member. Seeing that I'm sitting here, I conveniently sent a message asking if I want to give us some food. The group of people relaxed.

I randomly picked up a bottle of orange water, took a big gulp, then quietly took out my phone and replied to Ou Jia Rui, "Thank you."

"No need for thanks. I am truly happy for you from the bottom of my heart, being able to see you getting along well with the people around you and no longer being bullied for no reason and also being willing to open your heart and accept the goodwill of others. I hope that in the future, you can say goodbye to the haze, overcome your cowardice, and have the kind of life that you want. " I was touched by the message from O'Jia Rui, and my mood became very cheerful.

It was this information that calmed my wavering heart in a short period of time, causing me to temporarily put aside the thought of breaking up with Ojaru.

The music festival ended very late, and the snacks we ate had long since been digested by our frantic shouts and screams. One classmate suggested that we might as well just go and find a place to have a midnight snack first before discussing where to stay.

Young people are always easy to get along with when they eat and drink together. Although we haven't known each other for more than half a month, we can still be considered peers, and are also of the same major, having similar interests and topics of conversation. Our group chatted happily at a barbecue stand near B University.

The aroma of the smoky barbecue mixed with the foam of the beer brought the hearts of the young people closer together.

There would be many happy days in the future. Until one in the morning, everyone was a little tipsy and suggested to find a place to sleep first. Fortunately, there were quite a few hotels around the school. They were prepared to take a few rooms and squeeze in for the night according to their gender.

Everyone, you can go find him. I rented a rather small house in the school, afraid that I would also study art and design. There are a lot of messy painting tools that would affect your normal life, so I didn't want to live with my classmates. I'm ready to say goodbye to everyone.

"Ah! Xin Yao, you have a house in school. That's great! In the future, can we go to your rented room and boil a hotpot or make a living room together?" After all, living outside as a graduate student was not a rare thing. After knowing about it, there was only joy and no surprise.

"Of course not, the landlord is very good, he left a lot of things at home, enough for us to use." I didn't dare tell them that the apartment had been bought by O'Jia Rui for fear of being mistaken for a rich beauty.

A few boys split up, escorting me to my own apartment, and accompanying the group of girls to a hotel to rest.

By the time I got back to the apartment, I was too tired to stand up and take a shower. I struggled for a long time before I went into the bathroom and took a hot bath. Just as I was about to throw myself into bed and fall asleep, I remembered what Oja Rui had told me.

I typed out the words "I'm home", but hesitated and didn't press the send button. I didn't want Ou Jia Rui to know that I was home so late, but at the same time, I was afraid that she would be worried about not receiving my message. After hesitating for a while, I clenched my teeth and sent out the message, mentally anticipating how Ou Jia Rui would criticize me when I woke up tomorrow.

Surprisingly, Ou Jia Rui hadn't fallen asleep yet. After sending my message, she received a reply, and it wasn't the accusation that I expected, "It's good enough to be home. Quickly rest. Be careful outside by yourself. Good night."

"Good night." After replying to O'Jia Rui's last line, I fell into a deep and sweet slumber.

On Wednesday morning, almost half of the students in the class were late for the morning class. It was no wonder that we were able to wake up from an afternoon of wild play and an evening of hangovers. At the very least, our academic attitude was still decent, and this was how I consoled myself when we entered the classroom after the bell rang.

Although the old professor was strict in his studies and was highly respected by his students, those who studied literature all had a romantic nature. "When we go out and play in the future, we have to pick a suitable time. We won't pursue this matter any further. It won't happen again."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the whole class cheered.

The benevolent professor smiled and said, "After all, I'm still young and have been frivolous before. Let's not talk much. Come, let's go to class."

The kindness and tolerance of the people around me made my life more and more enjoyable.

At the same time, Gao Xin Lei, who lost her scholarship due to my matter, secretly made a new plan. Although others could see through her plan, after so many days of gambling with Ou Jingyi, I understood that this action of Gao Xin Lei's was very similar to meeting Ou Jingyi in my normal life.

When it was time for class to end, the class started chatting again, as if they were continuing the conversation we'd had yesterday at the music festival and at the barbecue stand. I stood quietly to one side, waiting to return with them after class.

As I was walking out of the Arts Academy building, I happened to run into a classmate of mine from the Arts Design Department who seemed to be waiting for me. Before I even got close, I saw that some of the fans behind Gao Xinlei were actually her undergraduate friends.

Originally, I wanted to go around those people and leave with my classmates, but Gao Xinlei called my name directly. Now, I'm sure that these people are waiting for me. The classmates who went out with me stood in front of me, as if they didn't want me to be bullied by this girl they didn't like.

"Zhou Xinyao, hold it right there."

I stood still as instructed. "So what? Didn't we already settle the previous matter? Why, are you still going to continue bullying the school?" My tone was also very unfriendly.

"How about this, Zhou Xinyao. I promise that I won't post those things on the school's internet. However, you have to agree to compete with me."

"Compete in what?" I was so entangled that I couldn't do anything about it.

"Design competition." Gao Xin Lei's determined look hurt my weak self-esteem.
