Chapter 476 - Joining Her Best Friend
"Wan'er, what did you say just now? A piano competition?"
Hou Wan'er nodded. She had been learning to play the piano since young. Although she had participated in multiple competitions before, she had never competed in such a big one. Hou Wan'er was looking forward to this competition. Her dream was to become the champion in such a big competition; she'd be happy if she was a runner-up too. Hou Wan'er said hopefully,
"That's right. I'm really looking forward to winning such a big competition!"
Su Jin saw the look of anticipation on Hou Wan'er's face and couldn't bear to disappoint her. In her previous life, Hou Wan'er participated in a similar competition, but she didn't get any ranking and even had her hands crippled. In this life, Su Jin wanted to help Hou Wan'er avoid this disaster, but she couldn't see Hou Wan'er's future. The only way now was to stop Hou Wan'er from competing. Su Jin replied tentatively,
"Wan'er, this competition doesn't seem to have any value. Let's not participate, okay?"
Hou Wan'er glared at Su Jin when she heard this. This kind of national competition didn't happen often. And it's recognized by the whole country so how could it have no value? Moreover, her parents also hoped that she could shine in this competition. Hou Wan'er replied,
"I'm looking forward to this competition. My parents also hope that I can get a good ranking."
Hou Wan'er then raised her fist to "threaten" Su Jin. For whatever reason, her best friend advised 17:54
her not to participate in this competition. But if she missed this opportunity, she would be too old to When Su Jin heard this, she knew that Hou Wan'er wouldn't give up on this competition so easily. But if she went, it's likely that things would turn up the same way like in her previous life. Although Su Jin's rebirth had altered the fates of a few people who had encountered danger, but she couldn't see Hou Wan'er's future at all. Su Jin continued to persuade,
"Wan'er, this is only a national competition. With our skills, we'd be like bullying the other contestants. If we want to compete, we should compete in an international competition, right?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Wan'er stretched out her hand and slapped Su Jin on the forehead unhappily. A national competition was still rare and valuable. It was not at all inferior to any international competition. Besides, they would be more credible if they got a good ranking in a national competition before competing in an international competition. Hou Wan'er replied,
"You silly girl, you haven't even been to a national competition, yet you dare to think competing internationally?"
Su Jin was speechless when she heard this. National or international competition, none of that mattered! She just didn't want Hou Wan'er to end up like in her previous life, and she didn't want Hou Wan'er to encounter the dangers in her previous life. Seeing that Hou Wan'er was serious, Su Jin asked again,
"Wan'er, do you really have to participate in this national competition?"
Hou Wan'er nodded seriously. Hou Wan'er had prepared for a long time for this competition. She was looking forward shining on stage and getting a good ranking. Her parents were also looking forward to it. She looked at Su Jin solemnly and said,
"Su Jin, I must participate in this competition. It is an honor. If you say that this competition isn't worthwhile again, I will unfriend you!"
Hou Wan'er then raised her fist to "threaten" Su Jin. For whatever reason, her best friend advised her not to participate in this competition. But if she missed this opportunity, she would be too old to participate in the next one. Su Jin sighed silently and muttered,
"Sigh, looks like I can't persuade you anymore."
Hou Wan'er also heard this. She ran to the school gate, bought two skewers of candied haws and handed one of them to Su Jin. She couldn't miss such a competition no matter what. Her parents had also said the same thing. Hou Wan'er watched Su Jin take the skewer and replied,
"I must participate!"
Su Jin took the skewer and took a bite. She was a little depressed. If Hou Wan'er listened to her, she could avoid a disaster. But Hou Wan'er insisted on participating in this competition. There was no other way. Su Jin said dejectedly to Hou Wan'er,
"Alright then, I can't persuade you anymore. I can only join you!"
Since she couldn't stop Hou Wan'er, she would join Hou Wan'er and enter the competition together. Then, she would at least be able to find out what happened and figure out a way to stop anything bad from happening. She would definitely not let Hou Wan'er end up the same way as in her previous life!
