They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Lin Han, you've come at the right time. The pricing on this menu..." Qiao Qiao said, turning her head.

"OMG!"

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but scream.

The other two turned around and were also dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Lin Han asked.

"No...it's nothing, I just feel...you're a little different today."

Qiao Qiao clutched her chest, seemingly still recovering.

Even Qiao Qiao, who is always outspoken, is like this, let alone Cen Sisi.

The girl's expression was completely blank, and her lips were trembling!

Xu Hui walked up to Lin Han and put one hand on Lin Han's shoulder.

"Lin Han, I've never asked you for anything in my life... Can you tell me, how the hell did you become so handsome?!"

"???"

"Seeing you become handsome is more painful than being killed by the mother of a bitch!" Xu Hui cried out in anguish, pounding his chest and stamping his feet.

"No, no, it's not that bad. If you want, I can help you dress up another day," Lin Han said, embarrassed.

"Is this true?"

"really."

Lin Han was too embarrassed to say that makeup actually requires a good foundation.

"Good brother!" Xu Hui said, moved.

Soon, everyone began the final preparations.

The classroom renovation was completed as early as last night.

The classroom, which was originally spacious and bright, has been transformed into a retro and elegant coffee shop. The space has been divided in two, with one-third being the kitchen and the other two-thirds being the shop.

The sign for "Music Cafe" was hung in the most conspicuous place at the entrance.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock at the door. Lin Han looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dozen or so student council members carrying a piano outside.

"Hello, I am Wu Hao, the Minister of Discipline of the Student Union. We are here to deliver a piano! Please ask Lin Han to come out and meet us!" said a student with a name tag around his neck.

Lin Han immediately went out to greet him.

Fortunately, the classroom doors at No. 7 Middle School are all double doors joined together, with enough space to accommodate a piano.

The scene of everyone carrying the piano attracted the attention of many students from other classes.

"Goodness, they even borrowed a piano from next door!"

"This is quite an impressive display!"

"That's too much! Who...who's going to play this?"

Many people were discussing it and even went to the classroom door to watch.

As the piano was put down, a dozen student council members wiped the sweat from their brows.

"We've delivered the piano. If you're satisfied, please give us a five-star review!" Wu Hao said politely.

Having said that, he waved his hand and shouted:

"Close the team!"

All cadres quickly lined up neatly and retreated in an orderly manner.

"Please thank Chairman Zhao for me," Lin Han said.

Wu Hao grasped Lin Han's hand and whispered:

"Lin Han, our president has pinned all his hopes on you. Keep it up!"

Lin Han smiled without saying a word.

After Wu Hao left, Lin Han stepped onto the balcony and discovered that the school festival had already begun quietly.

Each class had already set up their performances, and groups of people were continuously entering through the school gate. In addition to students from the school itself, many students from other schools were also invited.

Since the school didn't require students to wear uniforms today, everyone was dressed quite extravagantly. Even the girl with glasses, who usually keeps a low profile in class, was wearing lipstick.

"We've got a job!" Qiao Qiao shouted to Lin Han.

Lin Han turned her head and noticed that two boys had already entered the coffee shop.

"What would you two brothers like to drink?" Xu Hui picked up the menu and came over.

The two students glanced at the menu, which had an average price of over 28, and looked troubled.

"What price did you set? It's so expensive!"

"Honey, all our coffee is hand-whipped and blended, that's the cost," Qiao Qiao said with a smile.

"What era are we living in? Still drinking traditional coffee?" the boy said, frowning.

Then they saw the sign.

"Didn't you say it was a music cafe? Where's your music?"

"coming."

Lin Han stretched behind him, looking lazy.

Then, to the astonishment of the two boys, they went into the coffee shop and sat down at the piano.

Qiao Qiao and Cen Sisi both looked uneasy.

After all, they had never heard Lin Han play before.

If you put on such a big show and then find out it's a complete mess, you can only imagine how embarrassing that would be! You'd want to distance yourself from the coffee shop as soon as possible!

Lin Han simply yawned and placed his hands on the piano keys.

What should I play?

Actually, Lin Han prefers classical music, but he always felt that he should play some music that could liven up the atmosphere first.

Let's start with a simple rendition of "Croatian Rhapsody".

As Lin Han's fingers struck the first key, the stirring music exploded in an instant!

Lin Han's fingers danced and leaped across the piano keys, roaring and howling as if they had the power to destroy everything in their path!

Everyone present was stunned.

This is truly a thunderbolt-like opening piece, gradually pushing the emotions to a climax within the first ten or twenty seconds, giving the listener no chance to prepare or react.

Wait, is your map of the Yan Kingdom really that short?!

When people look for a movie, they watch the plot for at least ten minutes before watching anything else. But you just turned on the screen and it's already started!

Behind "Croatian Rhapsody" lies a complete tragedy.

The Corodian War lasted for five years and was initiated by two different peoples, one of whom was the Corodians. 270,000 soldiers participated, half of whom went missing or died in battle. The composer was inspired by what he saw of the two peoples after the war.

War destroyed everything, but only that little white flower bloomed tenaciously, so resolute, so beautiful, even with a touch of poignant sorrow. So breathtaking, yet so tragically beautiful.

This piece of music, though seemingly passionate, is actually a tragic elegy for the plight of the little white flower during the war.

The emotions contained within were revealed through Lin Han's exquisite piano performance!

Although those present could deeply feel the impact of the music, they could not understand the meaning behind the song.

But that's enough!

The sight of Lin Han playing his instrument with such fervor had already provided them with immense visual and auditory enjoyment.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!!"

"Damn it, give me the best seat! I want to sit next to him!!"

The two boys were so excited that they quickly went inside.

Qiao Qiao realized what was happening and quickly ran to the kitchen to start making hand-drip coffee.

At this moment, students passing by were also attracted by the piano music and gathered around the windowsill to watch.

"Holy crap, his fingers are leaving afterimages!"

"When did our school start having such a genius?!"

"Damn, this is getting my blood pumping!"

"And he's really handsome!"

More and more students gathered to watch, and soon the entire corridor was packed.

Xu Hui didn't hesitate and quickly invited his classmates to sit inside.

Soon all the tables and chairs were filled.

As Qiao Qiao made coffee, she couldn't stop smiling.

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly said:

"Hey, don't you guys think his hands look a lot like marmalade when he plays the piano?"

Testimonials

It's finally available! I'm so glad to be here alive and able to see everyone.

To get the book published before the National Day holiday, I wrote 60,000 words in a week. The pressure was immense, and I was practically rewarding myself every day. I'm almost breaking myself...

Many people have commented that I write slowly, so I feel compelled to address this here.

I do write very slowly.

Actually, this book was really hard to write. I had to put a lot of thought into each chapter, come up with ideas and come up with funny stories. Sometimes, in order to make a joke work, I would often spend five to ten minutes searching on Baidu.

Whenever I compete with other veteran authors in word count, they can write a chapter in forty minutes, while it usually takes me about seventy minutes.

The reason you can find so many jokes and gags in the book is because I painstakingly crafted them bit by bit.

Since this book does not have any reading instructions, I would like to take this opportunity, along with some of the questions raised by readers in the comments section, to answer everyone's questions.

(Those who are not interested can skip to the end.)

1. Why does it feel like Cen Sisi's character has changed so much?

A: What everyone saw was Qiao Qiao's brutal murder of Cen Sisi, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. As Cen Sisi's inseparable best friend, Qiao Qiao was constantly provoking Cen Sisi behind the scenes.

For example, at breakfast: "Why is your breakfast so meager? Didn't Lin Han always cook for you before?" At dinner: "Ah~ I really want to eat king crab with Yan Yuli~" When Cen Sisi is sick: "Sigh, if Lin Han were still here, he would definitely come over to bring you medicine in the middle of the night..."

Under Qiao Qiao's 24-hour high-intensity PUA, Cen Sisi's mental health was on the verge of collapse, causing her to be timid and submissive in front of Lin Han every time!

However, she was quite normal in front of people other than Lin Han.

2. Many parts are portrayed in an exaggerated way.

A: This is a characteristic of this coffee shop; you can think of it as nonsensical.

Actually, these are all just playful pranks within reasonable limits, and they generally don't go too far astray. It's just a novel, so just enjoy reading it.

So many novels are all the same; you can't find such a pure flavor in me anywhere else.

3. The plot is simple and retro.

Actually, this is a very pure campus slice-of-life story, and I think that should make it clear to everyone.

My understanding of true slice-of-life writing is: "Light on plot, heavy on reading experience".

The plot doesn't have to be complicated, and the main storyline can be simple.

But reading it must be a very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I don't like the bland, uneventful daily life on campus. What I want to write about is the kind of daily life that gets readers hooked and makes them unable to stop once they start reading. It's about making "reading itself" an enjoyable experience.

This is what I have always insisted on doing.
