Chapter 646: 256 picked exactly what she’s best at! Ma Institute Academician invites to a meal_1

On Bai Lian’s desk lay a Basic Music Theory book, and at first glance, Ye Jingxian thought she had learned vocal music.

Later, when persuading Bai Lian, Ye Jingxian didn’t demand too much of her. Instead of involving her in a choreographed dance like Xun Qian’s, Ye Jingxian simply let her stand there and sing a song, which Bai Lian didn’t refuse.

When it came to selecting the song, Bai Lian only mentioned that she was more familiar with Yan Lu’s songs.

After much contemplation, Ye Jingxian chose “Rewriting the Past” for her.

Tonight, coming to discuss with Bai Lian, the best outcome Ye Jingxian had hoped for was for Bai Lian to change her song, but she had also considered the possibility that Bai Lian might not continue participating in the National Day and Freshers’ Celebration.

Sword dance, long spear, guzheng?

…

“Wait, junior sister,” Ye Jingxian looked Bai Lian up and down, her eyes growing brighter, “you also know all these?”

Bai Lian still leaned against the back of the chair, her posture slightly indolent, her features clear and bright, “It’s been a long time since I’ve tried.”

She last handled the longsword at Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

“Maybe the guzheng?” Xun Qian, who had caught up, suggested, seeing Bai Lian’s delicate and languid appearance and her attire which suited the classical beauty of the guzheng well, “Knives and spears are too dangerous.”

She chose a guzheng that matched Bai Lian’s temperament.

“The guzheng won’t do,” Ye Jingxian had another thought as she had already received the program list and knew that Bai Shaoqi was performing the guzheng at the Freshers’ Celebration.

The Finance School wanted the Physics School to change their song because the two schools’ music clashed.

Bai Shaoqi was very popular on her short video account.

Both she and Song Min were good at winning people’s hearts. The Students’ Union of the Finance Department got along well with them, and Ye Jingxian felt that the Finance School’s Students’ Union President had already started grooming Song Min as the next President.

Most importantly, Bai Shaoqi had publicly claimed she studied under a teacher from Jiangyin.

Her guzheng playing was definitely strong.

This time, the program included solo singing, instruments, and dance sketches, but what Bai Lian had suggested, “sword dance” and “long spear,” were not listed, not just for this Freshers’ Celebration, Ye Jingxian hadn’t seen them on other stages either.

Quite novel.

In the past two months, because of “Great Yong,” there were many edits related to the backhand spear, and Ye Jingxian remembered Bai Lian owned a signed photo of Yan Lu.

It seemed she was also a fan of Yan Lu.

Not just Ye Jingxian, Kong Wei also chimed in. After sweeping the floor, she tossed flowers on the table, “Senior sister, why not let her try the long spear or sword dance? I’ve never seen a performance like that!”

Bai Lian was fine with either. Resting her hand on the armrest, she said, “You decide.”

“Junior sister, are you sure you can manage the long spear?” Ye Jingxian thought for a moment, “I’ll sign you up for the long spear.”

When asked about this, Bai Lian just raised her eyebrows slightly toward Ye Jingxian.

Compared to the guzheng, she was more familiar with the long spear that had accompanied her for years. Her senior sisters had quite the knack for picking.

“Okay,” Ye Jingxian said, seeing her expression and settling the matter, “then I’ll sign you up for that. Do you have any requirements for the costume and props?”

Ye Jingxian and Bai Lian finalized the details.

Bai Lian squinted slightly; her old spear had a specific height and hardness, but that was for battlefield use, not for school performances, which weren’t so detailed.

Besides, the material she preferred couldn’t necessarily be procured by Ye Jingxian and the others.

“The spear can be a bit heavier,” Bai Lian was used to it, but the accustomed material would have enabled a better performance, “you don’t need to worry about the costume, I’ll talk to my grandfather.”

During the day, Ji Heng, now that he wasn’t busy, liked to take a chessboard to the nearby park to play Gomoku with university students or look for opportunities to go fishing with Chief Chen and others.

Now he had added another activity: visiting Ji Mulan at the Xu Family.

He had numerous descendants, but he hadn’t seen the likes of Bai Lian and Ren Wanxuan at birth; Ji Mulan’s premature child was the only grandchild he had seen.

“Your grandfather can make clothes?” Ye Jingxian and Kong Wei were somewhat surprised.

Bai Lian lowered her gaze and smoothed her sleeves, “All of my clothes are made by my grandfather.”

“This outfit too is made by your grandfather?” Kong Wei approached Bai Lian and touched the delicate stitches on her clothing, impressed, “Your grandfather’s craftsmanship is really good.”

Xun Qian also bent down to observe Bai Lian’s clothes and was surprised. The last time Bai Lian had given each of them a hairpin, Xun Qian had a hunch about something.

Bai Lian’s clothes had no brand label, but each piece was stitched and tailored to perfectly fit her body.

With Xun Qian’s discerning eye, it was clear these were privately tailored.

Their ready-to-wear clothes were customized a season in advance; Xun Qian had assumed Bai Lian’s were too, but to her surprise, Bai Lian’s clothes were actually made by her grandfather.
