Chapter 1340: Chapter 1339: Performing a Magic Trick
Many times, when a person experiences an elevation in a certain aspect of artistic conception, it can only be understood by oneself, no matter how much others say. Lin Wanqing, at this moment, is like that. After her qualitative improvement in conception, she is undoubtedly very different from before.
When the two exam proctors and fellow students applauded and cheered for Lin Wanqing, Lin Wanqing wiped her tears and walked to Ye Qiu, saying, “Thank you.”
If it hadn’t been for Ye Qiu’s guidance, she wouldn’t be who she is now.
Ye Qiu and Lin Wanqing walked out of the music room. As they stepped outside, Lin Wanqing was about to say something when Ye Qiu’s phone rang—it was a call from Cao Ling.
“Where are you?”
“Over by the library.”
Ye Qiu replied.
Cao Ling made her way to the library. When the Jeep parked by the side, Cao Ling had just gotten off. Her stunning appearance and aura immediately drew the attention of many students coming and going.
It was Lin Wanqing’s first time seeing Cao Ling, and she found Cao Ling truly beautiful.
What Lin Wanqing didn’t expect was that this beauty was also here to see Ye Qiu.
Cao Ling noticed Lin Wanqing beside Ye Qiu, and Lin Wanqing saw her walk over.
“Ye Qiu, do you have some time now?”
Cao Ling asked.
“Yes, I do.”
Lin Wanqing moved her lips slightly, without saying anything more, just watching Ye Qiu follow Cao Ling towards the Jeep.
As Lin Wanqing watched, the Jeep drove away.
Previously, Lin Wanqing thought her appearance was enough to be proud of. Coupled with her aura and piano talent, she considered herself a favored daughter of heaven.
Unexpectedly, compared to that beauty just now, Lin Wanqing realized she was on a different level.
Now she also understood that Ye Qiu looked at her differently from other boys, because Ye Qiu was usually in contact with many beautiful women, not inferior to her.
In this situation, Lin Wanqing knew that it would be very difficult for Ye Qiu to actively pursue her.
In the car, Cao Ling looked at Ye Qiu and asked, “Who was that beauty just now?”
Cao Ling couldn’t help but compare herself to her, finding the other also very pretty and lively, especially noticing her long, slender legs and fair hands.
“Lin Wanqing from the Music Academy. She just had an exam, so I went to see her.”
“Is she the beauty who went with you to East Sea for the piano competition?”
Cao Ling seemed to have noticed online but hadn’t focused too much, just aware that Ye Qiu won the first place in the university piano competition.
She was surprised, knowing the other was just a medical student, yet crossed fields to win a piano competition.
Ye Qiu nodded.
“So what is your relationship?”
She noticed Lin Wanqing looked at Ye Qiu differently.
“Just ordinary friends.”
Cao Ling couldn’t believe it.
Especially from this sentence from Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu grabbed Cao Ling’s left hand, placing it in his palm. Upon careful observation, he found that although Cao Ling’s hand was fair, it was covered with thick calluses, clearly related to her past training.
Seeing Ye Qiu holding her hand and scrutinizing her palm, Cao Ling felt a bit embarrassed.
When Ye Qiu looked at her right hand, he saw it was the same, the thick calluses affecting the aesthetic of both her hands.
“Do you train often?”
“Used to, but not much anymore.”
Cao Ling was in a non-combat role in military school, no longer needing rigorous training like before.
If Cao Ling’s hands were like this, her feet must be the same.
Seeing Ye Qiu still holding her hands and examining them, Cao Ling felt more embarrassed, worried Ye Qiu might find her hand’s texture unpleasant and the calluses too thick.
But unless these calluses naturally fall off, scraping them would be painful.
Ye Qiu remembered Zhao Ruxue’s hands and feet were like that too. Later, after his treatment, they also regained their fair, delicate, elastic appearance.
“How about I perform a magic trick for you?”
“What magic trick?”
Cao Ling asked curiously.
“If I make the calluses on your hands disappear in a moment, will you give me a kiss?”
When Cao Ling heard this, her face turned a bright shade of red.
Could he really make the calluses on her hands disappear?
How is that possible?
But looking at Ye Qiu, he didn’t seem to be joking, so she asked, “Really?”
“Close your eyes and place your hands in mine.”
Cao Ling closed her eyes and extended her left hand.
She soon felt a cool sensation, and Ye Qiu grabbed her right hand, producing the same feeling.
When Cao Ling opened her eyes and looked at her hands, she couldn’t believe it—they had completely transformed, as if she had a new set of hands. How could this be?
How did Ye Qiu do this?
Cao Ling couldn’t believe it.
Ye Qiu looked at her, reminding Cao Ling of his earlier words. Was she really going to have to kiss him?
The driver in front was still driving, though not glancing over, he surely heard.
Cao Ling didn’t want to yield so easily to Ye Qiu, nor appear overly close to him, but she hadn’t rejected Ye Qiu’s earlier words.
“What? You want to back out?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Cao Ling said shyly.
Looking at Ye Qiu close by, Cao Ling could only give him a light, fleeting kiss on the cheek like a dragonfly skimming water, then quickly withdrew and turned to the window, feeling her breath quicken and heart race until she finally calmed down.
Ye Qiu regarded her and softly said in her ear, “I noticed your feet are the same. When there’s time, shall I give you specialized treatment?”
“Alright, let’s talk about it then.”
Cao Ling replied.
She almost forgot the reason she came for Ye Qiu was at Han Xiaofeng’s parents’ request for Ye Qiu to consult Han Xiaofeng.
Unexpectedly, she almost fell into Ye Qiu’s embrace.
Cao Ling’s hands became fair, smooth, and elastic as Ye Qiu held and examined them. Cao Ling felt warmth and heat spreading from her ears, neck, and face, while Ye Qiu did not release her hands.
It wasn’t until the Jeep reached the Military Region gates and entered the Military District Compound that Ye Qiu let go.
When they arrived at the place where Cao Ling’s uncle lived in the Military District Compound, the soldier parked the car, and Ye Qiu and Cao Ling got off. It took Cao Ling a long time to feel herself gradually returning to normal.
She felt powerless just moments ago.
Ye Qiu and Cao Ling alighted the vehicle, Cao Ling leading Ye Qiu to her uncle’s place. Though Ye Qiu hadn’t asked much, he guessed it was about Han Xiaofeng’s cold symptoms.
