    Chapter 67: How Can You Be So Cute

    Lu You put the umbrella into her tote bag and drove to school.

    Nanquan Conservatory of Music, her alma mater, where Lu You had lived from her freshman year to her third year of graduate school.

    The most prosperous area of the university town; the Shiguang Bookstore hidden in the alley; the cheap and delicious milk tea shop at the school gate; the sycamore avenue that runs through the entire school and has been used as a filming location for many campus dramas…

    And the conscientious gatekeeper who diligently asks questions are all still the same as she remembered, unchanged at all.

    Lu You bought milk tea at the school gate, then went to the flower shop next door, bought new flowers to match the cheerleader bouquet and re-wrapped it. After contacting Li Can to pick her up, she successfully drove the car into the school.

    “Why do you suddenly want to come to school?” Li Can sat in the back seat, glanced out the car window and said, “There just happens to be a parking space next to my car, park there, drive forward first.”

    Lu You did as she was told, slowly driving along Sycamore Avenue, “I want to pick Yue Yunxi up from school.”

    “Oh~picking up Teacher Yue from school~” Li Can changed the subject, “Then why didn’t you ask Lao Yue to pick you up into the school?”

    “Isn’t she teaching? I was afraid that calling would affect her.”

    “Okay, okay, so you’re not afraid of affecting me, right.” Li Can snorted and said, “I’m just part of your play.”

    Lu You smiled and said, “There’s milk tea in the passenger seat, thank you Teacher Li for your assistance.”

    It was a random joke, but Lu You caught on so quickly.

    Li Can noticed something, raised her eyebrows, squinted at her for a long time, then reached for the milk tea on the passenger seat, and touched the flower wrapping paper, “These flowers are really beautiful, did someone give them to you as a gift?”

    “No, I bought them myself.” Lu You said.

    “Buying flowers for yourself?” Li Can drawled, smiling mischievously, “Or are you giving them to someone~”

    Lu You carefully considered the term and said frankly: “Giving~to Teacher Yue.”

    “Tsk tsk tsk, I’ll take a photo and send it to Zhizhi.” Li Can raised her phone, saw her own car through the windshield, and quickly pointed it out to Lu You, “Hey, that empty space, see it?”

    “Hmm——what are you sending to Zhizhi for?” Lu You glanced at it while reversing into the parking space.

    Li Can took a photo of the flowers on the passenger seat with her phone, then pressed the phone and sent a voice message to Jian Yanzhi saying: “Look, this is the flower that Little Lu bought for Lao Yue, look, her younger sister is so considerate to her older sister, not only picking her up from school, but also giving her flowers. And look at you, what did you give me, sheet music, sheet music, and more sheet music!”

    When the car was parked, Jian Yanzhi replied with a voice message, perfunctorily: “Got it, next time I’ll dress up the sheet music as flowers and give it to you.”

    Lu You couldn’t help but laugh.

    Li Can was so angry that she turned off her phone screen, glared at her, and pretended to take the flowers from the passenger seat, “If you laugh again, I’ll rudely take the flowers away, and you can find sheet music to wrap into flowers and give to her, hey!”

    “You never know, maybe she really likes it.” Lu You took advantage of Li Can’s hesitation and hugged the flowers into her arms, “I’ll try it next time.”

    “Okay, okay!” Li Can immediately stopped being angry, opened the car door, saw her own car opposite, and couldn’t help but say, “If you had contacted me five minutes later, I would have gone to enjoy myself.”

    “You don’t have any classes?” Lu You also got out of the car, only took the milk tea, and didn’t take the bouquet.

    “No, I only had one class today, finished in the morning, and went to listen to half a class at Zhizhi’s place.”

    The piano piece “Vanessa’s Smile” came from the radio.

    A very appropriate school bell.

    Li Can listened to half of the song and smiled gleefully, “Lao Yue still has a class, you’ll have to wait.”

    Lu You asked: “Do teachers like you who are specially appointed professors allow non-majors to audit the classes?”

    “No.” Li Can saw the disappointed expression on her slightly pouting face and couldn’t continue acting, “I’m kidding! Students from other majors go to audit Lao Yue’s class every time. However, there are limited auditing seats, so you can’t audit if there are no seats. Good luck!”

    Li Can patted her on the shoulder.

    Lu You smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind words.”

    Li Can took the opportunity to put her arm around her shoulder, raised her other hand, and pointed remotely, “That building, which looks like a screen, is our teaching building.”

    Chongle Building is a visual effect of a large building folded into three small buildings, divided into three buildings ABC, which is quite like a screen.

    Lu You said: “I went to university here, our major’s classrooms are in Building A.”

    “! That’s great! I won’t take you there.”

    “Okay, go and enjoy yourself.”

    Li Can got into the car with peace of mind. Not long after, she leaned out of the car window again, waved the movie tickets in her hand, and called to Lu You: “Hey Yoyo, I have two movie tickets here, which my mother prepared for me and a blind date, but that man’s speech was so disgusting that I blocked him. These movie tickets can’t be refunded once they’re taken out, they’re for six o’clock tonight, you and Teacher Yue can go and see them if you don’t have anything to do.”

    It’s true that it had been a long time since she had seen a movie. Lu You took the movie tickets.

    “I don’t know if you’ve seen it, it’s a very classic film, it’s worth watching again even if you’ve seen it.”

    “I’ve only seen the commentary, I’ve always wanted to see the full film, either I don’t have time, or I have time but I don’t remember.”

    Lu You looked down at the two tickets in her hand. The information of the film was printed on the thermal paper.

    ——The Truman Show.

    ˉ

    The orchestral music classrooms are all in Building B of Chongle Building. The photos Yue Yunxi sent last time showed the classroom number.

    B2106.

    Lu You followed the number to find it.

    The back door of the classroom was half-open. It wasn’t time for class yet. Some students were applying rosin to their bows, and some were chatting in twos and threes.

    Yue Yunxi was sitting at the front of the classroom, supporting her head with her hand on the foldable table, reminding the students in the front row to apply rosin appropriately, glanced at the phone on the table, and finally picked up the sheet music and covered her entire face.

    She didn’t care about the noise in the back of the classroom at all.

    Luckily, there was an empty seat in an inconspicuous corner in the last row. Lu You tiptoed over and sat down.

    The remaining three auditing seats were occupied by two girls and one boy. Before she could sit down, the boy dragged his chair closer and asked, “Hi, classmate, what’s your major?”

    Lu You pressed the key on the phone screen and replied faintly: “Tuning.”

    She tuned out a cello version of Czerny 599 No. 46.

    The chatting in the classroom came to an abrupt end, and the students returned to their original positions one after another with their chairs.

    Seeing Yue Yunxi put down the sheet music to pick up the phone on the table, Lu You immediately hung up the phone and quickly typed a message.

    Yue Yunxi squeezed the phone, staring at the screen that returned to the main interface, stunned.

    The next second, two messages popped up on the screen.

    [Lu]: [I pressed the wrong button [covering face]]

    [Lu]: [Did it affect you?]

    Yue Yunxi helplessly glanced at the students sitting upright waiting for her to teach: [It did affect me, you idiot.]

    Lu You lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible, held her left hand in front of her lips, hid her smile and covered her face, thinking to herself, who told you to have such a bad taste, setting such a ringtone.

    [Lu]: [Teacher Yue is so smart, she will definitely be able to solve it [smug]]

    As soon as she pressed the send button, she heard the real school bell ringing into the classroom.

    Some clever students quickly reacted and turned into groundhog emoticons: “Ah——! No! Teacher Yue, why do you use the school bell as your ringtone!”

    “I was wondering why it sounded so weird.”

    “A new form of overtime class is born from this.”

    [Full Moon]: [Knocking]

    Lu You slightly raised her face and looked towards the front.

    Yue Yunxi put down her phone, a very shallow smile on her lips, her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, giving people a sense of easy-going gentleness, she supported the cello between her legs, took the bow and said, “You can’t even tell the difference between a cello and a piano, I really have to have overtime class.”

    The tone was like a stream flowing slowly and peacefully, but it was chilling.

    As soon as they heard that they were going to have overtime class, there was a wail below, and everyone’s emotions were even grayer than the sky outside.

    Before they could wail twice, they were interrupted by the sound of the cello.

    “The vocal music teacher is very free today, should I ask them to come over after class?” Yue Yunxi paused, “Be good, maybe there will be a different result.”

    The students controlled themselves freely, and the cloud of sorrow shrouded above their heads also dissipated a lot.

    Sitting on Lu You’s left hand, the two girls who were also auditing whispered with red faces: “Help, so Alpha.”

    “I bet five yuan, Teacher Yue is definitely…” the girl silently spit out a word, “Otherwise, she would be letting down the hands that can play Flight of the Bumblebee.”

    “Ew~you’re not right.”

    The girl covered her mouth and smiled, probably because she was afraid of affecting others, or because the content of the chat was off track, the two began to chat on their phones.

    Lu You couldn’t hear the sound, and gradually lost her mind, inappropriately thinking of yesterday afternoon.

    Those hands that can play Flight of the Bumblebee are also first-class at controlling the strings of puppets.

    This was probably the least attentive class Lu You had ever taken at school. It wasn’t that the music was too familiar, but that she had lost her mind countless times watching Yue Yunxi play the piano.

    Occasionally she would come back to her senses and glance at her watch, surprised to find that most of the time had passed, and then she felt that the hands were moving so slowly.

    “…That’s all for today, you can ask me if you don’t understand anything, if there are no problems, you can leave first.”

    When saying the last sentence, Yue Yunxi raised her hand, made a “walking” gesture with her index and middle fingers as little people’s legs.

    Lu You silently curled her lips.

    How can you be so cute.

    The seriousness of the class faded away, and a small gesture made the approachable feeling on her body become richer. Four or five students surrounded her to ask for advice.

    Lu You crouched down, moving a few seats forward sneakily, half-lying on the table, holding milk tea in both hands,idk how to translate this, it refers to putting the cup to your cheeks as to keep warm, waiting eagerly for the students to ask questions one by one.

    After all the serious academic questions were asked, the boy who had greeted her earlier and asked about her major was also in the crowd, and asked sloppily: “Teacher, teacher! I have a question, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?”

    Yue Yunxi was putting away her cello, and asked without raising her head: “What’s your major?”

    The tone sounded like she was going to notify the other party’s class teacher after reporting the major.

    “I…” The boy rolled his eyes, noticed Lu You in the back, and blurted out, “Tuning!”

    Lu You gave a soft “tsk” sound.

    Hearing this, Yue Yunxi’s tone slowed slightly and said: “Is that so? My partner was also this major before graduating.”

    “Wow~”

    A girl asked in a small voice: “Teacher, sorry to ask, is your partner…a boy or a girl?”

    In the cheering, Yue Yunxi raised her eyelashes, glanced at the familiar figure, and her eyes fell accurately on Lu You’s face.

    Their eyes met, and Yue Yunxi’s eyebrows raised slightly.

    Lu You’s eyes were bright and she asked with a smile: “Teacher, when do you get off work? The milk tea is getting cold.”
