Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 43

Mid-September, the military training for new students at Jing University had also come to an end.

Feng Qingyi stood by the dormitory window, gazing into the distance, and saw the new student troops undergoing the final review.

Shen Hanyue noticed Feng Qingyi, "Qingyi, are you looking at handsome guys by the window?"

"You can't really see any handsome guys from here, I'm just watching the new student review on the parade ground."

Shen Hanyue: "It suddenly reminded me of when we four were doing military training last year, everyone was so eager to get food, but now it seems like we don't have that energy anymore."

Qu Jingqiu disagreed, "...you seem to have plenty of energy, I think you have the most energy of all, running the fastest after class."

"That's because I'm too hungry, I can't help it. After four hours of morning classes, I'm absolutely starving," Shen Hanyue always managed to find a reasonable excuse for herself.

Feng Qingyi seemed to remember an errand, "Do you guys know if our school has a Martial Arts Club?"

"Martial Arts Club, I don't think I've ever heard of it. Qingyi, are you thinking of joining a club?" Qu Jingqiu asked.

Feng Qingyi nodded, "I'm planning to. After the military training, the various clubs should start recruiting new members, so I'll go take a look."

Lou Xi: "Aren't you going to the Dance Club anymore?"

"The Dance Club only needs me when there are school events, otherwise it's not necessary."

Feng Qingyi had learned dancing since she was young. In the Dance Club, her skills were among the top, so it didn't matter if she went or not on regular days.

Shen Hanyue took a sip of her iced cola, "Then I'll go with you and check it out. I need to find a relaxing club to get credits too."

"The club I was in before was too disgusting. They had three meetings a week, and if you missed one, you had to write a self-criticism. It was crazy, so I quit decisively."

Feng Qingyi: "Okay, I'll call you when I go."

The four roommates each had their own clubs and organizations.

Lou Xi joined the school student union, which was responsible for many things, so she was quite busy on regular days, but she also got relatively more credits.

Qu Jingqiu joined the school literary society and often wrote articles published in the society's magazine and campus newspaper.

Shen Hanyue had previously joined the debate club, but because the club's requirements were too high, she dropped out decisively after just one week.

As for Feng Qingyi, she casually chose the Dance Club, which had a nice atmosphere and often had performances that she would participate in.

However, because the Dance Club had a lot of members and limited programs, the competition for campus evening performances was always intense.

Feng Qingyi didn't want to waste too much time on it, so she later told the president that she wouldn't go if she didn't have to.

Sitting in her chair, Feng Qingyi opened the popsicle she had just bought. She loved the taste of popsicles.

"Qingyi, do you have any performances for the freshman welcoming party this Friday night?" Shen Hanyue asked.

Feng Qingyi shook her head while eating the popsicle, "No."

Lou Xi looked at the program list for the welcoming party on the table, "Your name is on here."

"What?" Feng Qingyi ran over to Lou Xi's side, and when she saw her name on the program list, she was stunned.

She was absolutely certain that she had never signed up, and it was even a guqin solo. What was this, was she trying to make a fool of herself?

"It can't be someone with the same name as me! I've only been learning the guqin for less than a month. If I go up there, I'll be embarrassing myself!"

Lou Xi confirmed the department, "It's you for sure."

"Xiai, can this be removed?" Feng Qingyi panicked a little, wondering who had signed her up!

Lou Xi shook her head, "The list is finalized, there's only four days left."

Shen Hanyue and Qu Jingqiu also realized the seriousness of the situation and walked over to Feng Qingyi and Lou Xi.

Shen Hanyue: "Someone must have purposefully signed you up! You should ask around quickly."

Qu Jingqiu: "I don't think asking will help now that you're already on the list. If you can't play the guqin, can you switch to something else?"

"Piano, dance, anything. Xiai, please help me out."

Feng Qingyi really felt like she was in a miserable situation. What kind of thing was this!

Lou Xi looked at the program list, "I'll ask about it for you, but you need to be prepared for the worst."

Feng Qingyi nodded weakly. For a school-level evening performance, groups usually signed up together, so she needed to find out who signed her up.

Qu Jingqiu asked, "Qingyi, did you find out who signed you up?"

Feng Qingyi had indeed found out who signed her up.

"It was a classmate from the Dance Club. She said they were short one performance, so they let me fill in, and she said I told her I could play the guqin."

"But I never said that. I wouldn't dare say I can play it now, I've only learned it for a few days."

Shen Hanyue: "I think she definitely had ill intentions, and it's been half a month since the start of the semester."

"This welcoming party must have been prepared since the start of the semester, but she signed you up without telling you. She's obviously setting you up to embarrass yourself."

At this time, Lou Xi also brought some bad news, "For this welcoming party, the school leaders want to see some traditional cultural performances, so it can't be changed."

Qu Jingqiu suggested, "Qingyi, you've been learning for half a month now, you should have mastered the basics. These next few days, practice a piece thoroughly, don't choose a too difficult one. We'll support you all the way."

"During lunch and dinner, go find your teacher and learn properly. By then, you should be able to perform," Shen Hanyue also agreed with Qu Jingqiu's idea.

Since the situation had already occurred, Feng Qingyi could only face it now. First, she had to get through this current difficulty, then she could go find the person to settle the score.

"Then I'll request a leave from the counselor for these few nights to go practice."

Lou Xi: "It's Monday today, you still have time. Work hard!"

"I'll do my best," Feng Qingyi said with a gloomy face.

After deciding to practice the guqin diligently, Feng Qingyi temporarily stopped her martial arts classes.

The martial arts teacher expressed understanding and told her to resume learning after resolving her current situation.

The teachers in the virtual courses on her phone seemed very real, as if they truly existed. Feng Qingyi occasionally chatted with them casually.

Compared to the gentle martial arts teacher, the guqin teacher was a bit harsher. Upon learning that she only had four days before her performance, the teacher was stunned.

And she bluntly stated that it was impossible to learn a piece well in four days, let alone that Feng Qingyi didn't seem to have much talent for the guqin.

Feng Qingyi was also very worried. In the end, she decided to buy the enhanced version of the Wit and Nimbleness pills from the mysterious shop, which would at least keep her energetic and help her memorize everything she learned.

With these pills, her learning efficiency improved considerably.

The music teacher picked out the piece "San Tao of Yang Guan" for her, as it could be considered the simplest and most suitable for performance.

Under the guidance of the music teacher, Feng Qingyi managed to learn the piece, albeit with difficulty. However, to play it fluently, she would need to practice more.
