The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 704: Chapter 279: A Day in the Life of a Senior Sister_2

Zhou Wang closely followed behind Jiang Mo and boarded the ”Route 200 Outer Loop” bus with her. Jiang Mo swiped her card with a beep and then walked inside.

Following her, Zhou Wang thought for a moment. Even if he walked directly inside, the driver would probably ignore him, but being a billionaire, he felt no need to take such a small advantage. So Zhou Wang fished a bill out of his pocket and tossed it into the fare box before heading inside.

”? ”

The bus driver, who glanced absentmindedly, was slightly taken aback when he saw a hundred-yuan bill suddenly appear in the fare box.

However, having driven buses for over a decade, he had seen all sorts of strange things. So, he quickly returned his gaze to the road with a calm demeanor.

The bus wasn’t too crowded, so Jiang Mo easily found a single seat by the window. As for Zhou Wang, he stood quietly beside her.

Zhou Wang now noticed something interesting.

Jiang Mo almost never used her phone. Most of the time, she just stared out the window, lost in thought. Occasionally, her eyes would move, and she would take out her phone to snap a photo, only to delete it if unsatisfied...

Zhou Wang then realized that the photos his senior sister sent him every day were taken this way.

From Deshengmen West to Fuxing Road South, it was a six-stop journey. On Beidou’s map, it seemed close, but it was actually six or seven kilometers.

After getting off the bus, Zhou Wang followed Jiang Mo again, crossing a pedestrian bridge and walking two hundred meters to the destination.

Number 43 Baojia Street, one of the places where Jiang Mo studied... Huaxia Music College.

The entrance was much smaller than Zhou Wang had imagined, but the ancient script sign was quite charming. At the entrance, there was a gate with a turnstile, and Zhou Wang followed closely behind Jiang Mo to enter the campus smoothly.

Click!

Just after entering the campus, Zhou Wang heard the click of a camera shutter. He frowned and turned to look, seeing a stylishly dressed, handsome boy on the side of the tree-lined path, holding a camera pointed in their direction.

Jiang Mo reacted indifferently, only glancing that way for a moment before continuing forward. But the boy ran over, chasing after them and saying, ”Senior Sister Jiang, I’m helping the school magazine shoot the cover. I think your temperament really suits it... Hey!”

Before the boy could finish his sentence, he stumbled and nearly fell flat on his face.

Jiang Mo gave him a surprised look but only for a moment before continuing without stopping.

Feeling embarrassed, the boy could only stop awkwardly. After the beautiful figure had left his sight, he remembered to check his camera.

The camera was fine, and just as the boy breathed a sigh of relief, he was dumbfounded to find the memory card missing.

He searched high and low but found no memory card. Instead, he fished out two hundred yuan from a nearby flower pot.

”? ”

...

On the other side, Zhou Wang casually threw the memory card from his pocket into the sewer and continued to follow Jiang Mo unhurriedly, while observing the surroundings of Huaxia Music College.

This school was much smaller than Zhou Wang had imagined, seemingly even smaller than his high school alma mater. However, Zhou Wang had heard before that Huaxia Music College was the smallest top music school, so he wasn’t too surprised.

He didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but walking through the campus, it seemed as though he could hear various kinds of music and faint singing.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the music building, they encountered someone who seemed to be a female professor. Upon seeing Jiang Mo, she greeted her warmly, her attitude extremely friendly.

However, Jiang Mo’s expression didn’t change much. Even in the face of the professor’s care, her smile remained gentle.

Seeing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Although his senior sister always appeared cool on the outside, she actually had some warmth inside. Most of the time, she simply didn’t know how to express herself and opted for silence.

But at the moment, Jiang Mo’s indifference seemed to emanate from her very core, as if she were indifferent to everything.

Standing at the entrance of the music building, her clothes and skirt fluttering in the morning breeze, Zhou Wang even felt an illusion...

It was as if she were the one wearing a cape, and despite relying on the system’s unscientific tools, he still couldn’t break free from the mundane world.

When did this change in his senior sister begin?

Zhou Wang frowned, pondering.

It seemed... it was right after the verdict in Jiang Yunfei’s case, before she decided to come to Beidou.

At that time, Zhou Wang had caught some signs, but they weren’t obvious, and back then, he thought Jiang Mo was in a period of apathy after undergoing significant emotional fluctuations. He hadn’t thought too much about it. It was only now that he realized Jiang Mo might indeed have a psychological issue.

At that moment, Jiang Mo, having finished her conversation with the professor, walked up the steps cradling her books. Zhou Wang followed silently. Just as they rounded the corner on the second floor, with the sound of quick footsteps, a figure dashed over, affectionately wrapping an arm around Jiang Mo’s.

Zhou Wang was about to draw a knife, but upon seeing the swaying ponytail of the other person, he put the knife away...

Oh, a girl. That’s fine then.

The girl had a healthy bronze complexion, and although her features weren’t particularly striking, there was a sense of boldness that gave her an undeniably sunny disposition.

”Momo, why did you arrive so late? Aren’t you nervous at all?”

The girl’s voice was clear and bright, evidently like a professional singer.

Despite the girl’s familiarity, Jiang Mo, who usually showed little expression, for the first time displayed a slightly helpless look:

”Sis Ying, can’t we just walk normally? I... I don’t particularly like this.”

”Heh, isn’t it precisely because of this that your Sis Ying looks so cool?”

Wang Ying, with an arm around Jiang Mo’s shoulders, laughed proudly: ”So many boys in the school can only dream of you, and yet here you are in my arms. Shouldn’t I brag a little?”

Jiang Mo shook her head but ultimately said nothing, allowing Wang Ying to mess around. Wang Ying didn’t mind her silence and continued speaking to herself:

”Hey, are you really not nervous?”

”Not nervous.”

”But I heard the dean will attend this selection, and if he comes, most of the professors will be there too. I’m nervous to death, but luckily our group performance isn’t a solo... and you’re doing a solo...”

”What difference does it make whether or not I’m selected? I’m not concerned.”

Jiang Mo just shook her head.

”True, if it weren’t for Professor Li forcing you to sign up, you wouldn’t have wanted to participate in this kind of activity, right?”

Wang Ying sighed, ”But it’s a chance to perform on the auditorium stage, and it’s a solo. I heard some of our senior alumni are discreetly inquiring about it...”

Zhou Wang listened to their conversation, curiously pulling out his phone to look up some information, quickly understanding.

In about ten days, it would be Huaxia’s 75th anniversary. There was to be a very high-profile celebration at the auditorium. As the top music school in the country, Huaxia Music College naturally had the important task of submitting event programs, and not just one.

The on-campus selection Jiang Mo was about to participate in was essentially the final selection, as all candidates had been recommended by their respective departments’ professors, which equaled an initial screening.

Wow, Senior Sister, you never told me about something so big...

Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow but then felt something was amiss. He opened his chat with Jiang Mo on his phone, scrolled up, and quickly found a message:

”Honey, the professor wants me to perform a program at the National Day Gala, but I don’t want to.”

Cough...

Zhou Wang checked and confirmed he indeed hadn’t replied. Feeling a bit guilty, he became more curious.

Speaking of which, he really had never seen his senior sister play the piano before.

He might not have known how to appreciate it in the past, but now he had some foundational knowledge, at least enough to discern the level of skill.

By this time, the two girls had arrived at a large classroom at the end of the second floor. When they pushed open the door, Zhou Wang was genuinely taken aback.

Since he hadn’t seen many people on the campus earlier, Zhou Wang thought perhaps the school didn’t have a large student body. But seeing the tiered classroom bustling with people, he finally understood, wow, everyone had gathered here...

However, when Jiang Mo and Wang Ying walked in, the classroom noticeably quieted down. The intense gazes turned toward them almost immediately, and Zhou Wang suddenly understood.

Damn, most of them came to see my wife!
