Chapter 301: Autumn Flowers (Part 2)

“Why?” Shen Lingyao asked curiously.

“Dummy, because I love you! So I like everything about you, no matter what you want to do, I will always give you the biggest encouragement. I believe my silly pheasant will only get better and better!” Zhao Qingfeng expressed with affection.

Shen Lingyao was overjoyed. Compliments from a loved one always carry more weight than a thousand words from anyone else.

Not just men, women too need positive encouragement and support.

Her heart was filled with sweetness, her cheeks blushed again, and she tiptoed to plant a big kiss on Zhao Qingfeng’s face, “You naughty Brother Qingfeng, for being so sensible today, this princess rewards you with a sweet kiss, hehe, do you like it?”

Zhao Qingfeng shamelessly responded, “One kiss is not enough, I want a hundred! No, a thousand, ten thousand!”

Shen Lingyao laughed sweetly, gently pushing his face away and dodging his embrace, then turned and ran, “I won’t let you take advantage anymore, haha.”

Zhao Qingfeng chased after her, “Lingyao, don’t run, I still want kisses!”

…

Two hours later, around noon, Shen Lingyao had made all the necessary preparations, everything was ready.

While eating in the cafeteria, she coincidentally ran into Li Manrou.

Today, Li Manrou was dressed beautifully, with light makeup complementing her white dress, black stockings, and high heels, making her look mature and attractive. This caught the attention of many male students, who sneakily glanced at her, fantasizing about her stockings.

“Manrou, you seem very happy today!”

“Dressed so beautifully, you must be well-prepared for tonight’s performance.”

“Your singing is really good; I support you every night. If only I could listen to your voice all the time.”

“I’ll definitely vote for you tonight. I think your voice is unbeatable, capable of overshadowing all the girls in our university!”

Many sycophants surrounded her, flattering her.

Li Manrou enjoyed the attention but was also annoyed. She smiled at them briefly, then looked towards Shen Lingyao, who was devouring her food.

After being defeated once at the restaurant and despite spending money and showing off, Li Manrou ended up being outsmarted by Zhao Qingfeng. Her attempt to impress at the orphanage also failed. Learning that Shen Lingyao had donated a hundred thousand and received high praise from the teacher while her own ten thousand was barely mentioned made her even more irritable.

Meow!

She had laid the groundwork in the school for a long time and held several ‘solo concerts’ to attract a crowd of sycophantic fans.

She thought to herself, let’s see how Shen Lingyao handles tonight’s event.

Original song?

Hmph.

What good song could a little girl like you possibly create, even with your very capable boyfriend? Surely it can’t beat mine!

Thinking this, Li Manrou couldn’t help but laugh, feeling as though the first-place prize was already in her grasp.

“Manrou, you look so beautiful when you laugh, just like an autumn flower,” Zhao Qingfeng remarked as he walked past with Shen Lingyao, then turned and left.

Li Manrou felt even more delighted, thinking even Zhao Qingfeng had acknowledged her as the flower, surely recognizing her as the inevitable winner of tonight’s solo female singing competition?

But upon reflection, something seemed off.

A flower is just a flower, but why liken it to one in autumn, which signifies withering?
