"Even without any favors owed, I could still help—"
Bai Xi said with a smile.
"Teacher Bai Xi..."
Lin Tian murmured.
Then he looked at the two women before him.
His head was starting to spin.
No.
This was too bizarre!
Way too bizarre!
Why did it have to be now?
And here? One after another, they just kept showing up??
Lin Tian suddenly felt as though he had stepped into some sitcom, where everyone had been handed a script and the characters were making their entrances one by one like the Avengers.
"Yun Qiuqiu, hurry up!"
Nana Li turned around and impatiently shouted through the glass door.
"Coming."
A girl in a blue hoodie, her hood pulled low over her face, slowly pushed open the door and walked in.
"S-sorry for disturbing you."
There was another expert too??
Lin Tian could not help rising from his chair.
"..."
Just like that.
One after the other.
In an instant, three girls carrying cellos had all arrived before them.
The girls wore their everyday clothes, looking vastly different from how they had appeared during the competition. Lin Tian had almost failed to recognize them.
"Welcome."
He Zhichen stood and greeted them warmly.
"For something like this, you should have contacted us sooner, Teacher Lin Tian~"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow.
"I only found out you were in this kind of trouble after seeing the news online."
The blonde girl spread her hands, helplessness written all over her delicate mixed-race face.
"Sigh, you two are really lucky. After all, Miss Nana Li has never been one to hold grudges."
"I was dragged here by Teacher Bai Xi."
Yun Qiuqiu said flatly.
"Because Teacher He said you would be meeting this morning, and Teacher Nana Li knew the address, so we came together."
