Cheng Liusu, Vice President of Pan Yan University and Dean of the Youyang College of Music, held the phone number XXXXXXXXXX.
This was all the content on the business card, simple, clear, and easy to understand.
Qinyue, holding the business card in her hand, felt at a loss. The Vice President of Pan Yan University, a person who seemed so far away, suddenly appeared less than half a meter in front of her, declaring that he wanted to take her as a disciple. This highly impactful event clearly made the 17-year-old girl somewhat fearful.
Fiyue took the business card from Qinyue and flipped it over. The back was dark, with some strange patterns outlined in white thread, as if they had some peculiar meaning.
"Are you the Dean of the Music College at Pan Yan University? But why do you want to take my sister as a disciple?"
"Oh, you're her brother?" Cheng Liusu pushed up her glasses, smoothed the hair by her ear, and tilted her head to look at Fiyue. "Don't you know how much musical talent your sister has? It's easy to find a good teacher, but hard to find a good student. I was naturally excited when I saw such a promising talent."
"Ah?" Fiyue blinked, then was pulled aside by Qinyue.
"Brother, I played a piece of music in STAY just now..." Qinyue lowered her head and slowly told Fiyue everything that had happened.
Although Fiyue knew that his sister was quite skilled in music, he had never thought she had surpassed most people in the world. Therefore, he was quite surprised that his sister had composed a piece of music that could be considered a masterpiece and performed it. However, after the surprise, he no longer found the woman who called herself Cheng Liusu so strange.
Yes, strange. Fiyue always felt there was something wrong with this woman because she appeared so suddenly. But now that he might know the reason, he wouldn't feel that way anymore.
"Um, Teacher Cheng Liusu, you want to take my sister as a disciple? But she's only 17, and she hasn't taken the college entrance exam yet. How can she go to Pan Yan University to be your disciple?" Fiyue spread his hands, throwing this almost unsolvable problem to Teacher Cheng. "How about waiting another year and a half? Our goal is to get into Pan Yan University, and our academic performance isn't bad..."
An almost unsolvable problem still has a solution, especially when dealing with someone who doesn't play by the rules, like a referee...
"No need," Teacher Cheng smiled and shook her head. Then, the ageless beauty pulled out a blank tissue from her bag, wrote a few lines with lipstick, and stamped it with a fingernail dipped in lipstick before handing it to Qinyue. "Your sister has already been admitted to Pan Yan University. She doesn't need to take the college entrance exam."
Qinyue took the tissue, instantly confused. Fiyue leaned over to take a look and was equally confused.
The paper was scrawled with: "Chu Qinyue is recommended as a new student at Youyang College. Recommender (a lily-shaped fingernail stamp)."
"What, what is this thing!"
Fiyue pushed his almost falling-out eyeballs back in and pointed at the tissue, which was fluttering in the wind, in anger.
"This is an admission notice, a special admission." Ms. Cheng Liusu lowered her head, put the lipstick back in her bag, and answered Fiyue's question.
"I, I know it's an admission notice, but can this count...?"
"Why not? I make the decisions at Pan Yan University. Who dares to interfere?" At this moment, Ms. Cheng Liusu suddenly exuded a strong aura, directly suppressing Fiyue.
Qinyue also had some doubts about this completely unreliable admission notice, but it didn't matter anymore.
"You only wrote my name. What about my brother?"
Ms. Cheng Liusu frowned and said matter-of-factly, "I'm taking you, and the special admission is only for you. Your brother can take the exam next year."
"Then, can you also admit my brother?"
"This," Cheng Liusu shook her head, "is against the rules. I can only make an exception for you. I can't do anything for your brother."
"Oh..." Qinyue nodded and then solemnly handed the tissue that could make her soar to Ms. Cheng Liusu. "I'm sorry, I can't go."
"Why?"
"Because I can't bear to leave my brother." Qinyue leaned against Fiyue, smiling faintly. "Wherever my brother goes, I go. I don't want to be separated."
Fiyue had long known this result. Although as a brother, he should consider his sister's future, as the only support in her heart and also the one she relied on, he couldn't bring himself to persuade her to leave him. All he could do was hold her tightly.
Sister, how...
"This," Cheng Liusu was clearly quite surprised by this answer, but after looking at Qinyue, she suddenly laughed. "Ha, so you two are in a sibling romance, that's quite rare."
"Whoosh," the two siblings' faces turned red. Fiyue opened his mouth to argue, but his sister pulled him. He looked down at her face, which was as red as an apple in September, and she was looking at him with a pleading gaze.
Fiyue fell silent. He couldn't hurt his sister's feelings by explaining to someone else, no matter how high their status.
On the other side, Cheng Liusu didn't pay attention to the small interaction between the siblings. She continued, "So you two are in a sibling romance. I'm very sorry, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it. Actually, sibling romance isn't that bad. I know a couple, and their children are the same age as you. They have some minor arguments, but they live happily."
Cheng Liusu's words caught the attention of the two children who were communicating with their eyes. Qinyue looked up in surprise and asked, "Did they get married?"
"Of course, but their status is very high, so no one dares to interfere. If you want to get married, you'll have to work hard."
"This, no, we... oh." Qinyue was only 17, and marriage was still too far away for her. This sensitive topic easily made the young girl blush and bury her face in her brother's chest, refusing to come out.
"I know, I know, it's still too early..." Cheng Liusu smiled and patted Qinyue's head. "Child, I really like you. I'm determined to take you as my disciple. How about this, you keep my business card. When you take the college entrance exam, bring it to Pan Yan University to find me. Just show the card, and the security guards will be very polite to you. I'll be waiting for you."
Not agreeing at this point would make Qinyue a fool, so she happily ran to a small supermarket, bought a pack of tea and a bottle of mineral water, mixed them into a simple tea, and respectfully performed a disciple ceremony to Cheng Liusu. Thus, the master-disciple relationship was established.
Of course, Cheng Liusu was quite speechless about such a simple ceremony, but she wasn't too particular about formalities, so she accepted it happily.
So, on that dark November night, Qinyue became the disciple of the globally renowned music master Cheng Liusu, with Fiyue and a bottle of cold tea made with mineral water as witnesses...
Yes, youth is like a dream, and there are no such constraints. The past is like a tide, and there are no such ifs. Fate can sometimes be so dramatic. Is there really someone arranging it?
