She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

Just as Ye Lei was about to continue, Ye Ziyue chimed in.

“My brother is right. Besides, Sister Bai Wei has already joined the music club. Joining our rock club won’t distract her too much. Joining the e-sports club would be a waste of time, wouldn’t it?”

Su Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

That's what you're saying...

"Thank you all for your kindness." Bai Wei shook her head and withdrew her hand. "I don't plan to join any other clubs. The music club is enough for me. Mu Mu, Senior Li Si, let's go."

After saying that, she took Su Mu's arm, unwilling to stay there.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ziyue's face immediately turned anxious, and she stepped in front of her to block her way.

"and many more!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Sister Bai Wei, are you really not going to reconsider?"

"No need," Bai Wei said, pursing her lips.

"Exactly! Weiwei, you should consider joining our esports club!" Pei Ling stepped forward, resting her head on Bai Wei's shoulder. "If you join, you'll be able to reach Diamond 2 within a week!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Ling felt as if someone was stabbing her with a knife-like gaze. Her eyes darted around and quickly met Ye Ziyue's gaze.

"Your eyes are a bit scary, kid."

"A kid?!" Ye Ziyue bristled, her expression instantly changing. "Is Senior Pei angry? Hehe~"

"I'm not so easily angered as to get angry at a child," Pei Ling said, pursing her lips.

Ye Lei blushed and weakly explained, "Um... she's not a child, she's my younger sister, a year younger than me, and she's a freshman this year..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Ling and the other two were shocked and stared wide-eyed at Ye Ziyue.

This... This... Not only is he about 1.4 meters tall, but his face and body are also very young. How could he be an adult?

"Oh my~ If Sister Bai Wei joins the e-sports club, she'll definitely be held back by the unreliable Sister Pei, hee hee~"

"What did you say?!" Pei Ling felt her fist harden.

She's currently Diamond 1, a top 1 player in the Chinese server's first region. Is she holding Bai Wei back?

What is this kid saying?

"Sister Pei, you mean Diamond 2 in League of Legends, right? I play that game too. I'm only ranked 97th in the Chinese server right now. Hmm~ A useless girl like Sister Pei can't achieve that no matter how hard she tries, right?" Ye Ziyue's mocking eyes were filled with a hint of contempt.

Su Mu's eyes twitched, and he looked at Ye Ziyue with a strange expression.

Goodness... that flavor is way too strong!

"Ha, you're currently ranked 97th in the national server?" Pei Ling was stunned, but quickly couldn't help but laugh. "Junior, you can't joke like that."

Ye Ziyue seemed to have anticipated Pei Ling's response. She held up her phone screen, a smirk playing on her lips. "What's wrong with Pei Ling? This ignorant and arrogant girl is just like those villainous grunts in anime. This time, let Pei Ling see what's what!"

"Little sister, please don't..."

Ye Lei looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Ye Ziyue turned her head and glared at him fiercely, causing him to tremble and shut his mouth immediately.

I feel like he's the younger brother...

Pei Ling and the other two leaned closer and saw that the personal information on Ye Ziyue's phone screen was exactly the same as the 97 people they knew.

Hiss… It’s actually true, this kid… oh no, this guy…

"Hehe~ Little fish sister, you've broadened your horizons, haven't you? If you were better than me, you wouldn't be so surprised. You're not even as good as the cute junior, so don't try to compete with me for Bai Wei sister~ Poor little fish sister Pei is still far from good enough~"

Being mocked like this by a girl who only reached her chest, Pei Ling's eyes twitched violently, but she couldn't find any words to refute it.

She has the highest rank in the e-sports club, which is indeed better than Yi Er 02 Ling Qi Shi I, but the little brat Ye Ziyue in front of her is putting on a mocking face.

"It seems you two have overlooked the fact that the choice is in my hands. I've already said that I have no intention of joining the rock club or the e-sports club for the time being." Bai Wei sighed helplessly.

"Sister Bai Wei! If you join our rock club, we can all improve together musically, and I can also give you pointers on games. You definitely won't regret it!"

Ye Ziyue seemed very eager for Bai Wei to join her group.

Seeing Ye Ziyue's expression and understanding Bai Wei's thoughts, Su Mu felt she needed to step in and shoo away the flies.

Since this brat is looking at me like I'm a love rival, then I'll just be that love rival.

"Young man, my Weiwei has already said she won't join. If you keep pestering her, she'll only become annoying." Su Mu smiled, revealing a very sunny and harmless expression.

However, Ye Ziyue keenly grasped the key words.

My Weiwei?

"I don't believe flat-chested sister's words, hehe~"

“You’ve got it wrong, classmate. I’m still a month away from turning 18. Although I look older than you in terms of height and build, the number on my ID card tells me that I’m actually younger than you. But at least I still need to wear a bra.” Su Mu smiled even more happily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyue was struck dumb. Her small fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly as she stared intently into Su Mu's eyes.

How dare she mock me for being short and not needing to wear that... How awful!

"You flat-chested girl, are you trying to fool me? Hehe~ How could you possibly be younger than me?"

44. Competition

"Mumu..."

Seeing Su Mu dealing with the trivial matters before her and being mocked for having a flat chest by her junior, whose personality was hard to describe, Bai Wei couldn't help but step forward.

Before she could say anything more, her lips were pressed against Su Mu's outstretched index finger.

"Sweetie, leave it to me."

"..."

Bai Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she found her heart racing again. She had almost no resistance to Su Mu's slightly domineering smile...

"Hey, you flat-chested nobody sister, you're not trying to ruin Bai Wei's bright future, are you? That's disgusting!"

Seeing the intimate interaction between Su Mu and Bai Wei, Ye Ziyue's small body trembled, and she wished she could kick Su Mu away.

Su Mu wasn't angry. She asked with a smile, "I wonder what instrument Ye is best at?"

"Guitar." Ye Ziyue proudly puffed out her flat chest.

Who is the most skilled player among the League of Legends champions?

"Hey! Flat-chested sister is really just a nobody~ I, Ke Er Jiuling Wu Shan San, am a master ranked 97th, only a nobody would dare to try and learn from me~ Hehe~"

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Su Mu's lips curled into a wider smile, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "My best instrument is also the guitar. Even a hero who knows how to play can suffer setbacks."

"Oh dear, I didn't expect even a small-chested girl like you could do these things." Ye Ziyue scoffed. "Surely this small-chested girl isn't trying to challenge me, is she? How interesting. If she really wants to, then I'll reluctantly give it a try..."

"Little sister, stop using such impolite words all the time..."

"Don't say anything, or I'll tell you what happened the morning you woke up when you were thirteen!"

"!!!" Ye Lei's vision went black immediately.

Noticing the strange looks from the girls around him, he felt like crying.

Girl, what's the difference between this and just saying it outright?

"Flat-chested little fish, you should dare to do a guitar solo and a Zed solo, right? Otherwise it would be too boring. But even if you dare, you're still easy to tease...hehe~" Ye Ziyue looked at Su Mu provocatively.

??

Su Mu showed no signs of anger, but Pei Ling and the other two, including Zhao Lisi, all had the same symbol appear on their foreheads.

It's tight.

I really want to punch her; that brat is so annoying and says such irritating things.

"Hey bro, hurry up and get your guitar out, I'm going to give bro a good beating!"

Depend on!

As the older brother, he lacked any authority as a senior.

Ye Lei really wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. If his classmates or even female students saw him like this, it would be no different from being socially dead, right?

One cannot escape reality. He walked into the rock club with a look of utter despair, and when he came out again, he had a guitar in his hand.

"Hey, I hope I don't discourage Sister Minion to the point of questioning her existence, but this does fit the fate of a minor character~"

Ye Ziyue reached out and took the guitar, saying proudly, "Choose your best solo, don't say I'm bullying you, hehe~ As for the judges, Sister Bai Wei will definitely be fair, right?~"

Bai Wei frowned slightly, looking at Su Mu with some concern.

She's only been learning guitar for a short time. Even if she's making rapid progress, can she really beat this kid with such a troublesome personality who's been exposed to music since he was little?

"My Weiwei would never side with me." (Yo)

Su Mu gave Bai Wei a reassuring look, then leisurely raised an eyebrow, signaling Ye Ziyue that she could begin.

The others exchanged glances, unaware of the two's guitar skills, and suppressed their urge to criticize, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and anticipation.

The fact that Bai Wei accompanied Su Mu to school suggests that her academic level is definitely not bad.

However, it must be admitted that Ye Lei is also very skilled; his bass playing is even slightly better than Bai Wei's, so his sister is probably not far behind.

Ye Ziyue hung the guitar around her neck, played a few notes to tune it, then took a shallow breath, her right fingers moving nimbly across the strings.

A burst of rousing music began, with a strong rhythm.

Pei Ling and her two companions, who knew nothing about music, found themselves unconsciously tapping their chins or slightly shaking their legs in sync with the rhythm as they listened.

Two minutes later, Ye Ziyue forcefully flicked her fingers across the strings, bringing the solo to a close.

"Hmph, my 'Deep Sea Fury' solo performance must have put pressure on that flat-chested girl, right? Hehe, I wonder what score Sister Bai Wei will give me?" Wu

Ye Ziyue looked at Bai Wei expectantly.

"If ten points is a perfect score, eight is no problem." Bai Wei nodded gently.

Putting other factors aside, this grumpy kid is undeniably skilled at guitar; he's probably almost at her level. (氿)

"There were a few minor mistakes~ but that should be enough to discourage the flat-chested nobodies~"

Ye Ziyue took the guitar off her body, gave Su Mu a provocative wink, and handed the instrument over.

"It's not a blow." Su Mu smiled, casually tested the sound and found that the sound quality was good. Although it was not quite as good as an electric guitar, it was sufficient.

After gathering her emotions, she slowly wiped the smile from her face, her expression revealing a hint of weariness, mixed with a sense of loss and vicissitude.

Seeing the change in Su Mu's expression, Bai Wei was taken aback.

Su Mu suddenly plucked the strings, his expression instantly becoming more carefree, and he hummed the lyrics in his mind as music began to play.

Anyone can betray their ideals; why fear the day when it's just you and me?

Pull-out, strumming, harmonics, string bending...

The rhythm, perfectly matching her emotions and mood, left everyone present speechless, as if they were inside the body of someone who had struggled for her ideals, now filled with disappointment and exhaustion.

As the pace progressed, the fatigue quickly dissipated, transforming into the motivation to continue moving forward.

Even if the college students present weren't particularly able to resonate with this kind of artistic conception, it was enough to immerse them in it.

In less than a minute, Su Mu gradually stopped moving.

The outro of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is not long and objectively not difficult, but the emotions it contains are absolutely classic, far surpassing the world's "Deep Sea Fury".

She let out a soft breath, and the familiar smile returned to her face as she looked up at the people around her.

"Hey? Why aren't you guys saying anything?"

Ye Lei's lips trembled slightly, and he blinked blankly, his eyes filled with confusion. His voice was a little dry, "What kind of music is this? I... I don't think I've ever heard of it before..."

“A song that has never been released,” Su Mu replied.

"Ah, you created this yourself? What an amazing idea!" Ye Lei snapped out of his daze, his eyes widening.

"No, that's not it." Su Mu denied with a smile, then turned to look at Bai Wei, and seeing that she didn't speak, she looked at Ye Ziyue.

“This solo…” Pei Ling also came back to her senses and clearly realized that her emotions had become complicated.

She understood that she had been drawn into that realm of thought.

A complicated expression finally flashed across Bai Wei's face. She looked at Su Mu, unsure of what to say. Was this the level she could achieve in just a few days of study?

45. Gauze

Even if it's just a short outro, anyone who understands music can tell that the full version of this piece is definitely excellent, and it might even win an award, or at least get a nomination.
