Chapter 70 – The Bonfire evening party (Part 1)
That evening’s bonfire party was considered their final gathering for this military training.
Afterwards, there would be tomorrow’s target shooting, and the day after would be the military square shaped formation marching rehearsal in uniforms. Consequently, Lin Mumu’s first university course, military training, would be officially over.
(TN: Remember military training is considered university’s first course in this time period in China, and you actually get grades for it, so it’s very important for your future career.)
In her heart, Lin Mumu was especially satisfied with this first course as she actually got to be accompanied by Yun Ting.
“I heard they would roast mutton for us to eat at night.”
“There will also be chicken.”
“Moreover, it’s an outdoor barbecue in the countryside!”
“I heard there might also be beer to drink, that would be awesome!”
The young hearts of the students were very easy to satisfy; a bonfire, some grilled meat, a shared barbecue along cheerful songs, and an ambiance filled with hearty laughter.
For this bonfire party, almost every major prepared some sort of program.
There were two programs for the religious studies department. The first one would be Chen Fangya, Zhou Qiang, Wang Bin and Zhou Guo performing a short skit. The second one was Lin Mumu playing a bamboo flute solo.
Coincidentally, Lin Mumu’s flute solo and Su Xinlan’s zither solo both chose to play the same piece of “River on a spring night”.
Moreover, according to the order of appearances, Su Xinlan would perform first.
When Su Xinlan came back, she arrogantly looked at Lin Mumu and said: “I changed my piece at the last moemnt.”
“You did it on purpose, right?!” An Xiaoqin was so angry she wished she could instantly rush up to her and tear her into pieces.
“If you have the ability, come and hit me.” Su Xinlan used great efforts to keep her head high and chest puffed out like a proud little peacock.
“Hmph, no matter how bad my airport is, it’s still bigger than a certain underdeveloped Lin Mumu who has yet to fully grow up.”
“I am fully grown up!” Lin Mumu was completely depressed. She as only one year younger than An Xiaoqin and Chen Fangya. Why was she treated like an underage teenager? She was just a cute little girl.
However, Su Xinlan suddenly choosing the same piece as her really caused Lin Mumu some headaches. Even if the piece was played with different instruments, it would still give people a repetitive feeling, and the effect would thus be very poor. She can change her piece at the last minute as well, but she would then worry whether it would coincide with someone else’s choice.
It could only be said that Su Xinlan’s little trick was truly ruthless.
Chapter 70 – The Bonfire evening party (Part 2)
From the very beginning, Yun Ting had always been paying close attention to Lin Mumu’s situation. At that moment, he instantly shouted:
“Classmate Lin Mumu, come over here.”
“Oh.”
Yun Ting loudly called for her, she really didn’t dare not go.
Who let him be the senior official?
(TN: meaning there’s nothing I can do about it since he’s lucky enough to be superior.)
“Your piece was snatched away.” Yun Ting was really of timely assistance.
“En.” Lin Mumu nodded: “I’ll change it at the last minute. I’ll just play our Daoism’s tune of “High mountain’s running water”. I’m just afraid it won’t be well received by the audience.”
“I’ll teach you.” The next moment, Yun Ting began to seriously write down a song’s music score. The rustling sound of his fountain pen and Yun Ting’s grave and stern expression while wearing his neat and tidy green army shirt truly made a breathtaking scenery.
“Alright.” Yun Ting looked up, just in time to see Lin Mumu’s dazed gaze and absent-minded expression.
“When the military training is over, I’ll go back home and let you slowly take your time to watch all you like.” He lightly bent over and smilingly said a few words in her ear.
Annoying!
Who said it depended on you?!
Lin Mumu lowered their heads and bit her lower lip as she started to seriously study the musical notes on the piece of paper, along the lyrics written underneath them.
“Can you sing?” Yun Ting asked probingly.
“En.” Lin Mumu unconsciously nodded at his question.
“Good, I’ll accompany you.”
“Ha?”
Before Lin Mumu could understand what Yun Ting meant by his words, they suddenly heard her name being called on stage.
Without the proper musical score, Lin Mumu could only give up playing the flute. The song Yun Ting gave her was pretty good, so she would just sing it.
It’s just that she wasn’t really ready to sing without music, so the result wouldn’t be as pleasant.
Lin Mumu was already standing on stage in a dilemma when suddenly, an elegant piano tune sounded behind her.
Lin Mumu turned around to look behind her and was flabbergasted. She could actually faintly discern Yun Ting’s tall and straight silhouette sitting beside the piano.
Damned Yun Ting!
He actually could play the piano this well!
Fortunately, Lin Mumu was only confused for a moment before she quickly readjusted her state of mind and entered her role. Along the beautiful piano sound, she started singing.
