Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 15

After Sheng Nuan finished playing a piece on the piano, she heard a nasally voice from behind her. It was Teacher Wang, sounding pleased, “Good, very good… It’s you, Nuan Nuan. I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. You’re amazing!”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “Thank you, teacher.”

It wasn’t until the day of the school anniversary that the plastic sisters planned to invite Sheng Nuan to secure a good spot, only to find out that Sheng Nuan was actually stepping in to perform.

Zhao Yingzi and the others were both shocked and worried, so they rushed backstage to find Sheng Nuan.

When they saw Sheng Nuan wearing a champagne-colored dress, with her long, slightly curly hair styled into a half-up bun and hanging loosely behind her, the plastic sisters were immediately stunned.

“I suddenly find it a bit funny that Sheng Mian is considered the school beauty.”

“That’s right. Not to mention anything else, just with Sheng Nuan’s outfit, she would definitely steal the show…”

“But, Nuan Nuan, you really need some serious skills for this. Don’t get too carried away playing the rich girl… Are you sure you can handle being on stage?”

Sheng Nuan looked at the brainless plastic sisters with a bit of a headache, pressing her fingers to her forehead. “Don’t worry, it should be fine.”

Zhao Yingzi quickly nodded, “I believe in you! Go for it, go for it!”

Not long after Zhao Yingzi and the others left, Sheng Nuan bumped into Gu Lanfeng again.

Gu Lanfeng was one of the hosts, standing alongside a well-known female student and a few other girls who were going to perform a jazz dance.

“Sheng Nuan replacing Sheng Mian to play the piano? Tsk, it really seems like she’s trying to outdo Sheng Mian in everything. She wants to compete in every aspect.”

“She probably doesn’t know Sheng Mian’s level of piano skills. Isn’t this just setting herself up for embarrassment? Really interesting.”

“Yeah, it’ll just make people think she’s ridiculous…”

Gu Lanfeng frowned slightly, neither participating in the discussion nor stopping it. At that moment, the group noticed Sheng Nuan on the opposite side.

The girls fell silent, their faces turning awkward as they realized they had been overheard. Then they saw Sheng Nuan smile.

“Feng Jiaojiao, right? Your double eyelids are practically touching your eyebrows, yet you dare go on stage looking like that. If people didn’t know, they might think it’s a sad frog dancing.”

“And Zhao Le, oh, that dress on you is a total disaster… Aren’t you afraid the zipper will pop when you’re dancing?”

“What are you staring at? Ye Fei, right? Don’t tell me you think just applying white to your face and red to your lips counts as makeup?”

Sheng Nuan looked at the group of girls in front of her with incredulity. “You all look like a rural band from the outskirts attending the grand opening of a drugstore… It’s truly a sight to behold!”

After that verbal onslaught, Sheng Nuan turned on her heel and strutted away with her head held high and her chest puffed, leaving the group of girls behind who were still too shocked to react.

Gu Lanfeng was also a bit stunned and then subconsciously wanted to laugh.

Although Sheng Nuan had a venomous tongue, her comments were quite accurate. He had just seen the girls’ makeup, which was hard to describe… Especially standing next to the lightly made-up Sheng Mian, it was a crushing blow.

Gu Lanfeng had always known that Sheng Nuan was exceptionally good-looking, but just now, seeing her in a cocktail dress with light makeup, he was still shocked and amazed by her beauty.

Soon, the school anniversary party began, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively, with enthusiastic cheers erupting from the audience…

Midway through the event, it was finally Sheng Nuan’s turn to take the stage.

After the female host announced the program, the stage lights dimmed. When they brightened again, a spotlight shone on the piano, and beside it sat a slender, straight-backed figure. With her profile facing the audience, she slowly raised her hand and pressed the first piano key…

Teacher Wang had strongly urged Sheng Nuan to play “Castle in the Sky,” the piece she had tried out during rehearsal, as it had deeply moved him that day.

And now, as the ethereal melody began to flow, the lively atmosphere of the event gradually quieted down.

Everyone below watched the girl’s profile on stage, seeing how she seemed to merge with the music, her entire being enveloped in a warm yet ethereal glow…

Gu Lanfeng stood not far behind the stage.

Ever since that day when Sheng Nuan had saved Zhao Yingzi on the rooftop without hesitation, Gu Lanfeng’s view of her had changed significantly.

The image of her bloodied arm kept coming back to him, making him wonder how someone willing to risk her life in such a situation could possibly be so fragile inside.

He knew that Sheng Nuan was filling in for Sheng Mian at the school anniversary, and although he no longer despised her as much as before, he hadn’t expected her to excel.

But in that moment, seeing the slender silhouette of the girl on stage, her beautiful and delicate profile as she slightly tilted her head, like a swan, he suddenly felt as if he was meeting her for the first time…

Far from the stage, Ye Nanxun, who had returned late from the hospital after taking care of his mother, did not take a seat in the audience but instead stood at the back of the crowd.

As the piano music began to flow, he was leaning against the door outside, his head bowed in silence… After a moment, he heard the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano seemed to soar from his ears into the sky, making him look up.

The night was deep, and he imagined the music taking form, sprouting wings and flying towards the stars in the sky, where a castle floated under the moonlight, beautiful yet hazy.

Turning back to the stage… from afar, he saw the girl by the piano slightly raise her head, seemingly gazing at some void in the distance.

In that instant, Ye Nanxun had a strange feeling: she, too, was hurting.

Would someone like that, who was so obviously spoiled and reckless, be capable of feeling pain?
