The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 301 - 300 Don’t worry, leave it to me

Chapter 301: Chapter 300 Don’t worry, leave it to me

“Cang Xue?”

The students murmured in a low voice, had the other side gathered both Ya Qing and Cang Xue?

And specifically requested Cang Xue’s New Year’s greetings!

So envious…

On this side, Lu Mian nestled herself in the seat, the beam of light above her head was gone, and she quietly played her game; yet, she found her gaze being drawn to the voices on the stage.

Oh, that New Year’s greeting…

...

She remembered, frowned slightly, and seemed a bit annoyed. She didn’t know that Ya Ling had asked her for the greeting to use in this place.

Quite magical.

Sheng Zijin on stage, holding the microphone, took charge and asked, “Does everyone want to hear Cang Xue’s voice?”

“Yes!” The audience erupted with excitement.

Even the school leaders and teachers were quite interested; after all, such opportunities were rare.

Of course, they were well aware that the other side was not only here to compete against them, but also to showcase the strength and connections of their school.

Just looking at the two gifts they had brought, their Kunpeng School was much weaker.

Still a bit short…

Sheng Zijin was very pleased with their reaction and took out a USB drive from her bag, “Director Qiang, please have someone play it for everyone, it contains an audio file.”

Qiang Hua nodded and gestured to Su Luo to take the USB to the backstage equipment room.

The USB in her hand, Su Luo had a complicated feeling, and she walked towards the backstage not so briskly.

Exiting the hall, they had to go through a short corridor to reach the equipment room.

As Su Luo walked, shaking her head, she thought the Sheng Family came with ill intentions, determined to win this exchange event. They turned the tables with two precious gifts, taking control of the situation.

If their Kunpeng School were to lose again, it would be a third consecutive loss, which would certainly not be good for the school’s reputation.

The Sheng Family was trying to climb over Kunpeng.

She pondered, calculating the odds of winning if Lu Mian were to join their team.

Su Luo’s speed wasn’t fast, and as she turned the corner, a person suddenly appeared, giving her a start.

She stepped back, only then clearly seeing who it was, and was very surprised.

“Why are you here?”

Lu Xinnuan appeared here, and Su Luo was quite surprised.

Lu Xinnuan didn’t care that the other person was the Su Family’s little princess anymore and grabbed Su Luo’s wrist, pulling her aside.

“I have something to ask you.”

She had sneaked here during the self-study time and glanced at the USB in Su Luo’s hand, feeling a bit tempted. Cang Xue had always been her idol; she liked Cang Xue’s voice very much.

But now was not the time to focus on these, she had more important things to do.

Lu Xinnuan made up her mind, “You and Lu Mian are classmates; do you know if she has a boyfriend?”

Lu Mian? A boyfriend?

Su Luo only had two words for Lu Xinnuan, “Crazy.”

Without giving her another look, she continued walking forward.

Lu Xinnuan certainly wouldn’t let go of this opportunity and blocked her way, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you go! You won’t be thinking about going to the equipment room! Just let those people wait for you!”

She knew that Sheng Zijin had come to the school today and was eager to show off and be rewarded. Even the smallest task assigned by the other party, she had to treat it as an important matter.

“You…” Su Luo almost laughed out of irritation. She had always thought Lu Xinnuan was fake and pretentious, and now she had to add another word, shameless.

“I’m not close to Lu Mian, even if you ask me, I wouldn’t know,” she said coldly.

“Does she usually hang out with any boys in class, or have a particularly odd relationship with any?”

Lu Xinnuan’s questions became more and more far-fetched, and Su Luo, annoyed, pushed her away forcefully.

“Get lost,” Su Luo said, too tired to deal with it.

However, Lu Xinnuan clung to Su Luo like a stubborn plaster, refusing to let go until she got something out of her. As they struggled, the USB drive Su Luo held in her hand fell to the ground.

Neither of them stopped in time, and with one foot each, the USB drive was crushed…

They both froze simultaneously.

The students in the theater were all craning their necks in anticipation, but it was taking too long.

Ding Cai approached Lu Mian again, worried: “Why isn’t Su Luo coming back?”

Lu Mian finally heard him this time, silently put away her phone, and stood up to walk toward the corridor: “I’ll go check.”

She was worried too.

She sat at the very back of the theater, so when she stood up, she didn’t disturb anyone. She took a few steps and entered the backstage corridor.

The corridor was eerily quiet. When Lu Mian found Su Luo, she was squatting alone in a corner, numbly clutching a damaged USB drive, looking very upset.

“What should I do…” she muttered to herself, her mood downcast.

Lu Mian walked over, her tall and slender figure casting a shadow over Su Luo, who looked up pitifully, struggling hard to suppress her emotions.

But the moment she saw Lu Mian, her eyes still reddened slightly.

“Lu Mian, the USB drive is broken…” Broken, and so was the chance to play Cang Xue’s audio files—with so many people waiting outside to listen.

Lu Mian frowned slightly and extended a hand, gesturing for her to stand up first.

Those fair, attractive hands were offered to Su Luo, who bit her lip and, placing her hand in Lu Mian’s palm, let herself be helped up.

But her mood was still down.

“What happened?”

“I ran into Lu Xinnuan. We each stepped on it, and it broke…”

She didn’t explain much, but Lu Mian could probably understand the situation. Normally, Lu Xinnuan should be studying in the classroom at this time, but she had come to the theater area, so there must be something going on.

Nevertheless, seeing Su Luo like this, Lu Mian could guess she wasn’t in the mood to explain much.

Lu Mian took the battered USB drive from her hands and inspected it closely.

Su Luo clenched her fists, “Maybe I should just apologize now. It’s partly my fault, and I can’t keep all those people waiting. Besides, we can’t hide this from Era Middle School…”

After finishing, she hung her head in frustration and guilt, “Lu Mian, they will surely find another excuse to criticize our school…”

Su Luo blamed herself entirely and, after a while, when she saw Lu Mian examining the USB drive, a thought struck her and her eyes suddenly brightened: “Right, you’re good at programming, aren’t you? Can you recover the data? We just need to preserve the precious audio files inside.”

Lu Mian looked at the anxious girl, perspiring slightly, and her eyes softened with a slight smile on her lips: “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Su Luo was overjoyed, “Can you really fix it?”

“Yeah, go back first.”

Su Luo nodded trustingly and made her way back to the theater, looking back every few steps.

Lu Mian waited until she rounded the corner before heading to the equipment room, casually throwing the USB drive into the trash.

She knocked on the equipment room door.

“Hello, I need to adjust a sound channel; I have something to say.”

The people in the equipment room sized her up in her school uniform and waved their hand: “This is the equipment room, no loitering.”

“Ah…” She said calmly, “I’m not here to loiter.”
