CHAPTER 1460: CHAPTER 1459: PLAYING HARD TO GET

Ye Qiu found a book similar to medieval religious texts, but it talked about native religious texts of Huaxia. After all, he came from Heaven, and he was very curious about how people, especially in ancient times, described Heaven. Maybe it wasn’t entirely just imagination.

What surprised Ye Qiu was that much of the content inside felt as if it was real.

As Ye Qiu was engrossed in the book, he suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance, precisely the scent that emanated from Lin Wanqing.

Without even turning around, he knew who it was.

Lin Wanqing was very curious. She had just heard that Ye Qiu had come to the library, thinking he came to see her, only to find out it wasn’t the case. Instead, he had gone up to the third-floor reading room. If she hadn’t asked other students, she wouldn’t have known Ye Qiu was hiding there.

Seeing Ye Qiu genuinely absorbed in just reading, Lin Wanqing felt embarrassed about interrupting him.

Once Ye Qiu closed the book, he asked, "Miss, when did you come?"

"Several minutes ago. What are you reading?"

Lin Wanqing took the book over and found it described religious texts from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. She was puzzled as to why Ye Qiu would be interested in these.

"What’s so interesting about this?"

"You wouldn’t understand."

Lin Wanqing didn’t understand, nor did anyone else, because only he knew that his soul came from the Heaven described in that book.

When Ye Qiu closed the book, he looked at Lin Wanqing and asked, "What’s up?"

"Can’t I look for you for no reason?"

Lin Wanqing bit her lips slightly and looked at him.

Ye Qiu scrutinized Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing didn’t particularly care about dressing up, unlike Song Ying and others, but Lin Wanqing had a great figure. Any suitable dress looked good on her. Of course, it was mainly her temperament; it was as if someone who often read books gave people a completely different feel.

Lin Wanqing often played the piano, which is related to ancient arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so she exuded a scholarly, elegant air.

"My parents think your piano playing is excellent. I wonder if you’d like to join the Piano Association in Jinling City. My parents can recommend you, and you could later join the Piano Association of Jiangnan Province."

"What’s the point of joining?"

Ye Qiu recalled the days before when a man in a suit was part of the Piano Association.

"It’s honorary and symbolic. To say its benefits, it doesn’t really have any. It’s just a circle of people."

"Then I’ll pass. I don’t like circles like that."

Ye Qiu didn’t need it. He didn’t require that honor or circle to prove his status. Besides, he couldn’t spend too much time playing the piano.

Of course, if he had time, composing a few piano pieces occasionally wouldn’t be bad.

"When will you teach me to play the piano?" Lin Wanqing asked again.

She thought she was quite familiar with Ye Qiu, and he should agree to her. After all, he was prepared to invite that French piano prince to teach her, but the other party was too old, and it was inconvenient.

"Have you mastered those one hundred music scores?"

"Not yet, just familiar with thirty music scores."

"Then you’re far off. Once you’re familiar with every note in those one hundred music scores, I’ll teach you." Actually, Ye Qiu was teaching her already.

He knew that in this world, apart from his good fortune in absorbing soul consciousness, there was no shortcut to doing anything. Only through hard work and sacrifice could one succeed.

It wasn’t that easy to succeed.

"How much longer will it take?"

"That depends on you. Also, if you have time, read more Western classical books. It will help you go further on your piano path."

This made Lin Wanqing even more confused.

But since Ye Qiu said so, what else could she do?

Coming out of the library, it was almost lunchtime. Ye Qiu said, "I’m going to the canteen for lunch. Do you want to come?"

"I’m going home to eat. Do you want to come to my house to eat? My parents welcome you."

"Never mind."

Ye Qiu didn’t want to eat at Lin Wanqing’s house.

Lin Wanqing could only go home herself. Ye Qiu walked to the first canteen and had just sat down when he saw Liu Lingxiu and her two roommates approaching.

These days, Liu Lingxiu had only seen Ye Qiu’s car parked in front of the boys’ dormitory but hadn’t seen him.

Now seeing Ye Qiu eating alone, she asked, "Where’s Luo Yang and them?"

"I don’t know. They probably went to the gaming company."

Ye Qiu took out a meal card. When Chen Meng and Li Wen went to get food, he returned to his seat, and as Liu Lingxiu looked at him, Ye Qiu noticed that the long-unseen Su Luoluo had come over with Bai Yun and Hai Dong.

The three girls came over and sat right next to Ye Qiu. Su Luoluo just stared at Ye Qiu like that.

Su Luoluo felt like all the effort she put in last year was for nothing. It seemed like Ye Qiu didn’t care about her existence at all.

Now, as Su Luoluo looked at him like that, Ye Qiu asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet," Su Luoluo replied.

"Then go get some food. There’ll be a lot of people soon."

Ye Qiu handed the meal card to Bai Yun, and when the two girls went to get food, Bai Yun and the other girl left, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu continued eating happily.

Su Luoluo just kept staring.

When Bai Yun and Hai Dong came back with the food, the three girls didn’t eat much. When they returned the meal card to Ye Qiu, he was still chatting and laughing with Liu Lingxiu.

After they finished lunch, Ye Qiu left first with Liu Lingxiu and the three girls, leaving Su Luoluo and her two friends behind. Especially Su Luoluo, who felt an indescribable sense of loss, like Ye Qiu truly saw her as just an ordinary person.

Three years?

Ye Qiu gave her three years to win him back, but now with things like this, could she really hold on for three years?

"Su Luoluo seemed unhappy just now," Liu Lingxiu said.

"Who cares about her," Ye Qiu didn’t care. Even if she might not want to chase him anymore, it would be just fine.

Liu Lingxiu looked at Ye Qiu curiously. She had thought Ye Qiu hadn’t moved on from Su Luoluo at first, but now it seemed it wasn’t what she imagined.

Of course, the two of them were in the same major, just in different classes. The exam results from last semester showed that Su Luoluo’s grades weren’t as good as hers. Maybe it was because her emotional issues with Ye Qiu affected her studies.

However, what surprised Liu Lingxiu the most was that Ye Qiu was really the top student in the whole college. She didn’t know how Ye Qiu studied.

"Lingshow, you go back yourself tomorrow night. I’m going on a spring trip with classmates to Lianyungang tomorrow night for two days of fun before coming back."

The class organized a spring trip, which Liu Lingxiu thought was nice!

But being from another class, she feared it wouldn’t be proper to join, or else she’d want to go and have a look too.
