Chapter 316: Chapter 316

Are you kidding? Xiao Ling comes from a family of dancers, who could compete with her.

Qin Xiangge’s gaze shifted to Shen You’an, smiling, "Shen, you’ve just been crowned the school belle, it’s your moment of glory. Aren’t you considering putting on a show? Let the whole school see the elegance of the school belle?"

Gao Yuyue frowned, somehow the words sounded off.

The mentioned Shen You’an raised her head halfway, suddenly remembered she had taken off her glasses in a daze.

So, under the watchful eyes of the whole class, Shen You’an reached out her hand, found her glasses on the desk, put them on with her head down, and then slowly raised her head.

The girl’s skin was fair, the lenses reflecting a bit, and those eyes were misty and mysterious.

The neck wrapped in a shirt was long and slender, and even the head was overly perfect in the sunlight.

While everyone was stunned, Shen You’an spoke lightly, "What elegance of a school belle? The elegance of being multi-talented? I admit I can’t play the piano or dance, so why don’t I go on stage and talk about how to solve the mysteries of calculation? Or the significance of statistical analysis in life? Or explore the essence and rules of physical phenomena?"

The heating in the classroom was too high, making people a bit dizzy, but the girl’s cool voice was like a breeze blowing across their faces, instantly clearing their minds.

"Pfft...," someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Everyone held back their laughter, struggling with the effort.

Shen You’an’s words were quite sharp, yet she remained very polite and courteous, making it hard for anyone to get angry with her.

It made people feel helpless, like using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, just looking at Qin Xiangge’s green and white face on the podium was proof enough.

Yan Lu secretly gave Shen You’an a thumbs-up, wondering why she hadn’t thought of saying that.

Qin Xiangge took a deep breath and smiled, "Shen, do you really have no talents at all?"

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow, "What if I do, and what if I don’t? Talents are primarily for cultivating one’s taste, which means it’s something you study only after having enough food, Qin, with your privileged background, naturally you wouldn’t know the hardships faced by the common people. For someone like me from a poor family, when survival itself is a problem, how can we talk about art?"

The girl smiled, but the curve of her mouth was full of irony.

"Qin, let them eat cake."

Shen You’an had nothing to hide, she spoke openly and straightforwardly, making people take notice.

Qin Xiangge’s face instantly turned red.

Unexpectedly, her irony turned into her being ridiculed, making her feel a bit awkward.

To make matters even worse, people seemed to actually like it.

However, she was sure that Shen You’an definitely didn’t have any talents.

Qin Xiangge ground her teeth and forced a smile, "I may have overlooked that, but..."

Qin Xiangge changed her tone, "According to past tradition, the school belle must put on a show. Shen, you’re so smart, if you start now, I think you’ll shine by then, which would live up to your title as the school belle, and won’t disappoint your supporters and fans, right?"

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow, smiling as she looked at Qin Xiangge.

For some reason, when those misty eyes looked over, Qin Xiangge felt a subconscious tightening in her heart, she couldn’t help but clench her palms.

Shen You’an lowered her head and was silent for a while, just when everyone thought she was going to back down, Shen You’an suddenly raised her head, her gaze sharp and bright.

"Looks like you’re determined to embarrass me."

Qin Xiangge smiled, "Shen, don’t underestimate yourself, you have to trust your learning ability, looking across the whole Lanya High School, who has a stronger ability to learn than you? We’re all supporting you, cheering you on."

Gao Yuyue said irritably, "Qin Xiangge, aren’t you annoying? An’an already said she’s not participating, why do you insist on forcing her to sign up for a program, what’s your ulterior motive?"

"Mr. Gao, we have to believe in Shen..."

"Believe in your head," Gao Yuyue couldn’t hold back her bad temper, slamming the table and yelling.

Shen You’an’s playful voice easily covered Gao Yuyue’s fury, "What program are you signing up for?"

Qin Xiangge realized this question was directed at her, lifted her chin slightly, straightened her back, and said with pride and confidence, "A piano solo."

Shen You’an nodded, her tone casual as if asking if you’ve eaten today, "Then I’ll sign up for a piano solo."

The entire class went still, thinking they had misheard.

Qin Xiangge was also stunned, once she processed it, she couldn’t help but laugh, her tone unmistakably sarcastic.
