Chapter 949: Chapter 0949: Directly Refusing the School Beauty’s Request

Lin Wanqing was very well-known at Jin University. Aside from her beauty and the fact that she was recognized as the Music Academy’s newest campus belle, her fame also stemmed from her talent—she played piano exceptionally well and was capable of composing her own music.

No one expected that now, Lin Wanqing had actually taken the initiative to greet Ye Qiu, catching the attention of other students nearby.

When Ye Qiu saw Lin Wanqing, he seemed to display a less-than-enthusiastic expression.

"Ye Qiu, I really admire your piano pieces. I’d like you to teach me."

Lin Wanqing said this expectantly.

So that’s what this is about—Ye Qiu had thought it was something else entirely.

"I don’t have the time. Go find someone else."

Ye Qiu responded flatly.

This left Luo Yang stunned!

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were equally taken aback!

And Ning Yun, who had just returned from grabbing some food, was even more shocked. None of them had anticipated that as soon as Ye Qiu returned, the Music Academy’s most beautiful and talented girl would seek him out, only for him to show disinterest.

If it had been them, they certainly wouldn’t have handled it this way.

"But no one else can teach me."

Given what Lin Wanqing and her mother knew, it was clear that it would be difficult to find another accomplished piano instructor in Jinling who could teach her effectively.

After all, Lin Wanqing had already realized that her previous instructors could no longer help her advance further.

But she knew Ye Qiu was different.

From the moment she heard Ye Qiu play one of the most challenging piano pieces that evening, she understood just how extraordinary his skills were.

When Ye Qiu noticed Liu Lingxiu and Chen Meng approaching, he naturally shifted his gaze away from Lin Wanqing and onto Liu Lingxiu instead.

"Lingshow, over here."

Liu Lingxiu and Chen Meng had just finished class and come to the cafeteria to grab some food. They noticed a crowd gathered in the area, initially wondering what the commotion was about.

To their surprise, it was Ye Qiu sitting there, with a beautiful girl beside him speaking to him.

"Lingshow, that beauty is Lin Wanqing from the Music Academy."

Liu Lingxiu seemed to have heard of her before but didn’t know much about her.

Unexpectedly, that stunning girl was now chatting with Ye Qiu.

But when Ye Qiu saw her approaching, he immediately called her over.

When Lin Wanqing looked over, she saw a plainly dressed girl who appeared innocent and quiet.

"Ye Qiu, what are you talking about?"

Liu Lingxiu asked as she walked over.

"This student wants me to teach her piano. I don’t have time."

Ye Qiu explained.

Liu Lingxiu glanced at Lin Wanqing, noting how delicate and beautiful the girl looked—her appearance alone set her apart in terms of background.

Still, Liu Lingxiu hadn’t expected this seemingly refined girl to approach Ye Qiu for piano lessons.

It wasn’t until the Freshman Welcome Party when Ye Qiu showcased his piano skills that Liu Lingxiu even realized he could play.

After spending three years with him—from senior year of high school to now—she had never known Ye Qiu could play the piano.

And not just play, but play so impressively.

Liu Lingxiu didn’t say anything, leaving Lin Wanqing to explain: "I just wanted to learn piano from him."

Sometimes explaining makes things worse—her words led to further misunderstandings among their peers.

After all, Ye Qiu had become quite the notable figure lately, especially after disciplining that instructor a while back and showcasing his skills at the freshman party.

Recently, rumors spread about him being a suspect in the theft of girls’ dormitory underwear, and now the campus belle Lin Wanqing was making a direct approach to him.

"Lingshow, let’s just eat our food."

Ye Qiu seemed unwilling to waste time on Lin Wanqing any further.

Lin Wanqing felt a bit awkward sitting there—it wasn’t appropriate to stay, yet it didn’t feel right to leave either.

Ye Qiu’s stance was clear: he wasn’t going to teach her piano.

When Ye Qiu claimed he didn’t have time, it was an obvious rejection.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shaohui and the others returned with their meals, giving up their seats to Ye Qiu, Liu Lingxiu, and the other two girls while they moved to a nearby table.

Lin Wanqing hesitated and then heard Liu Lingxiu say: "Lin, would you care to join us for dinner?"

"No, it’s fine. My mom already prepared food for me at home."

Lin Wanqing’s mother was a Jin University Music Academy associate professor, so naturally, they lived in the staff dormitory. It wasn’t likely Lin Wanqing would need to eat at the cafeteria.

Seeing Ye Qiu still refusing, Lin Wanqing felt regretful.

But she was determined—if one attempt failed, she would try again, twice, maybe even three times.

After Lin Wanqing stood up, bid Ye Qiu farewell, and left, Liu Lingxiu asked: "Why wouldn’t you agree to teach such a beautiful girl piano?"

"There are plenty of beautiful people out there. Am I supposed to agree every time a good-looking person asks me for something?"

Liu Lingxiu chuckled at this.

After finishing dinner, Liu Lingxiu and Chen Meng returned to the girls’ dormitory, while Ye Qiu headed off toward his car.

Would the mysterious thief strike again tonight?

Regardless, Ye Qiu was determined to catch the culprit tonight.

Once Ye Qiu returned to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, he took a shower and considered wearing his usual clothing but changed his mind. Thinking of the thief, he opted for the designer clothes Li Qianqian had bought for him.

The set of clothes had been with him for months, though he hadn’t worn them until now.

When Ye Qiu put them on, his presence became noticeably more striking.

Driving to the Jin University Campus, Ye Qiu dialed Li Qianqian’s number.

"Qianqian, where are you?"

"In the dorm."

"Come outside. Let’s take a walk!"

Li Qianqian was thrilled and quickly hurried out of the girls’ dorm, leaving Zhou Muling and Han Xiaowan behind since they’d just act as third wheels.

After receiving Ye Qiu’s call, Li Qianqian walked to Xuanwu Lake near the university town but spent several minutes searching for him without success.

Although the skies were dark, the campus and its surroundings were illuminated with lights. Many students strolled, talked, dated, or immersed themselves in music or studying.

"Ye Qiu, where exactly are you?"

Li Qianqian wondered if he was joking as she failed to spot him anywhere.

"Turn around and walk fifty meters. You’ll see me."

Turning around, Li Qianqian began walking forward. After about fifty meters, she did indeed spot a figure resembling Ye Qiu’s height.

However, his outfit didn’t look like what Ye Qiu usually wore.

Was this really Ye Qiu?

How could it be?

When the man turned and waved at her, Li Qianqian eagerly ran forward.

It really was Ye Qiu!

"Ye Qiu, I almost didn’t recognize you!"

"Silly girl. These are the clothes you bought for me. And you didn’t even recognize them?"

Li Qianqian studied Ye Qiu’s outfit closely, realizing it did look familiar. But since she had bought it months ago, she had nearly forgotten.

Now that Ye Qiu was wearing it for the first time, even she couldn’t immediately recognize it.
