Chapter 1159: Is the Woman in the Red Dress Sister Xin?

The mocking voices from Class 1 were incessant.

The sophomore students had grown a lot tougher, and were not as scared of Hu Yi as they were in the first year. The nickname “The Bottom Three Jerks” was shouted loudly, which diluted the originally cheerful atmosphere of Class 2, leaving them angry and helpless.

“If only Sister Xin were here…”

“If Sister Xin were holding down the scene, would they dare be so arrogant? They wouldn’t dare to make a peep.”

“Sigh…”

During the halftime break, amidst the low morale, everyone couldn’t help but hope for a miracle.

A red light flashed outside the door, and a woman dressed in a red skirt with a red hat waved from the entrance to the field.

“Is it Sister Xin?”

“Where, where?”

“That woman in red!”

Someone was excited.

The red hat was pressed very low, making it impossible to see the woman’s face.

Hu Yi sneered: “What are you guys looking at? That aura is nothing like her. My Sister Xin doesn’t like to dress like a red apple.”

Amidst the argument, Yu Xiaochun’s phone buzzed. She swiped open the screen, was taken aback, and walked towards the door while answering the call: “How is it you…”

Everyone watched Yu Xiaochun’s departing figure and lamented: “Turns out it’s someone looking for Little Chun. Sigh, I thought a miracle would happen, boohoo, I miss Sister Xin…”

Hu Yi was annoyed by the crying, looking down at the dreadful 60-point experimental specimen, even more annoyed, and punched the lab table: “The way we are now, we have to rely on the judges going easy on us to even stand a chance of getting into the finals, and we still have the nerve to think about Sister Xin? If she sees how hopeless we are, she wouldn’t bother to see us even if she comes back. Are we, as such failures, worth her return?”

Everyone fell silent.

Yeah, Sister Xin made them better, but they just halted in their tracks, always thinking of relying on her. At the slightest setback, they blamed everything but themselves. Are they worthy of her return?

Hu Yi bit his lip: “No matter what, we must try our best in the finals. The championship cup of the academy competition that Sister Xin hardly won can’t be lost in our hands.”

Huo Zhen didn’t say a word, but nodded in deep agreement.

Everyone was a bit moved by Hu Yi’s words, especially the other contestants who had also barely made it to the finals, silently began to tidy up the lab tables and quickly looked through anatomy textbooks.

The second final round was about to start soon.

All the contestants were in position.

Yu Xiaochun’s spot was still empty.

Hu Yi frowned, looking outside: “What’s taking her so long?”

In the corridor outside the lab, Yu Xiaochun was still talking to the woman in red. By her gestures, she seemed a bit conflicted and hesitant.

Without one contestant, Class 2’s total score would take a huge hit.

The already low score had even less chance of making a comeback.

Outside the lab.

Yu Xiaochun looked at the woman in red, both surprised and puzzled: “How come you…”

The other person stuffed a delicate VIP ticket into her hand: “I’m inviting you to my concert. This is the best VIP seat, and outsiders can’t get this sort of ticket. I’m going to check out the concert hall later, will you keep me company? Xiao Chun, it’s been a year since we last met, I have so much to talk with you. After checking the venue, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, a big feast.”

An old friend not seen in a long time.

Such a tempting offer.

Yu Xiaochun, being the music commissioner, was of course interested in the concert, and she also looked forward to the feast.

But…

She looked back at the playing field.

If she left now, what would happen to her Class 2 buddies?

The championship cup that Sister Xin won… they would have even less hope of getting it.

Though her own skills weren’t high, she could at least contribute some points.
