Chapter 10

To be honest, the bet and the sharp exchange of words with classmate Huang Yi weren’t entirely beneficial for Wu Xiang. Many classmates thought Wu Xiang was being petty, especially the girls. Of course, there was also Lin Jidong, who, after returning to the dormitory, didn’t hide his displeasure with Wu Xiang.

But there were those who cared about him, like Huang Jibo and Wang Hongzhi.

“Xiangzi, can you actually sing?”

“No,” Wu Xiang was honest.

“Then how could you dare to make a bet? Do you think lying has no consequences?”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan!” Wu Xiang seemed very confident. “By the way, does anyone here know how to play an instrument?”

However, none of the guys nodded in response to Wu Xiang’s question, which drew a look of disdain from him. But it didn’t matter; Wu Xiang remembered that Brother Kun seemed to know a bit about the piano.

Coincidentally, Brother Kun was humming a tune as he passed by Room 307.

“Brother Kun! Can you play the piano?” Wu Xiang immediately rushed out and grabbed Chen Kun.

“I can, I can.” Chen Kun was taken aback; he didn’t expect to be intercepted after just taking a shower. But upon seeing it was Wu Xiang, he relaxed. “What do you want, kid?”

So, Wu Xiang whispered a few words into Chen Kun’s ear with a smile, keeping it confidential. After all, the situation in the dorm was a bit chaotic, and he couldn’t be sure who might betray him.

“Alright! I’ll take care of it. I’ll find some more people; a few guys who hang out in Sanlitun are pretty good with instruments. I’ll make sure you get your moment to shine.” Brother Kun was indeed helpful.

Wu Xiang beamed with joy. “Thank you, Brother, thank you.”

“No need to be so formal.”

That was that. The guys in Room 307 were all stunned. What was Xiangzi up to? Was he planning to form a band?

But no matter who asked, Wu Xiang wouldn’t reveal a thing. No one knew what he was going to sing or what style it would be. However, Huang Jibo was still very热心的, and he pulled Wu Xiang aside to a quiet place.

(Note: The last sentence "However, Huang Jibo was still very热心的, and he pulled Wu Xiang aside to a quiet place" is incomplete in the original text. "热心的" means "enthusiastic" or "caring," so the sentence could be completed as: "However, Huang Jibo was still very caring, and he pulled Wu Xiang aside to a quiet place.")
