I Can See Their Cheating Rates - Chapter 39

But now, all the empty classrooms were being used for rehearsals. If anyone wanted to use them, they had to apply. The key of the problem was that the teacher in charge taught music, so only students that were musically talented would get the classrooms.
“Wang Dong!”
Wang Dong turned around. It was Liang Zongguang.
Liang Zongguang immediately placed his hand on his shoulder and said, “I happened to want to ask you something. I thought you were in the literary club. Why are you outside?”
Wang Dong said helplessly, “The room is occupied by a woman inside. What did you want to ask me?”
Liang Zongguang revealed a gossipy smile. “Brother, it seems like you’re quite lucky with women! So, which of them do you like? Do you need me to give you a suggestion?”
“Let’s talk business.”
Wang Dong used his elbow to poke his stomach. “If this is all you have to say, then I’m leaving.”
“Don’t! I’m looking for you because of the Welcome Gala. You were responsible for the majority of the sponsorship fee, so what program do you plan to prepare?”
At the annual Welcome Gala, those who received the most sponsorship fees would have to perform. This was a rule passed down from generation to generation.
Wang Dong thought about it. Why not take this opportunity to show off a few moves?
“I’m thinking of something music related.”
Liang Zongguang’s eyes widened. “You’re even musically talented? No way? Don’t tell me you’re really an all-round genius? Isn’t this too much of a blow?”
Wang Dong smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I only know a little.”
“Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”
Liang Zongguang patted him on the shoulder and said, “Since it’s decided, I’ll go back and tell the teacher. I’m afraid that after the gala, even more girls will fall in love with you.”
Wang Dong, on the other hand, was in love with money.
When he returned to the literary club, only Zuo Mei was left.
“Qin Sixia and Song Junyao went back?”
“Yes, they were called away by the teacher. I think the two of them are pretty good. Which one do you like?” Zuo Mei asked with a smile.
Wang Dong looked at her for a long time and rubbed her head. “You don’t have to force a smile, you know.”
The two of them had been together for so long, how could he not tell that she wasn’t in a good mood?
Zuo Mei’s expression froze on her face. It was really terrible. Her heart fell to the bottom.
Just as she lowered her head and was about to find an excuse to leave, Wang Dong asked, “For the Welcome Gala, I want to form a band with you to perform, is that alright?”
“…No.”
Although she really wanted to stand beside Wang Dong, she didn’t deserve it.
“Everyone here is a genius. I’m not good enough.”
Zuo Mei forced a smile. “Who asked me to be so stupid? This is your place to shine, and I should stay in a small bar…”

Weakness 1: Music
Weakness 2: Wang Dong
Cheating Rate: 90%
How should he put it?
When he saw that the weakness was him, he was not surprised.
He only felt a little emotional. He had been with Zuo Mei for so long, but he had never found out about her feelings. He was really quite oblivious.
“No, Zuo Mei, I think you’re very outstanding!”
Although Wang Dong only thought of the other party as a sister, he didn’t want to see Zuo Mei feeling so inferior.
He paused for a moment and continued, “Think about it, my voice, your music… Zuo Mei, the stage is your place to shine! On the stage, you’re like a star in the night, able to attract the attention of all the audience!”
Zuo Mei looked at him in shock and asked unconfidently, “Are you comforting me?”
“I’m telling the truth. I know you’re very talented. Wait a minute!”
Wang Dong knew that no matter what he said, the other party wouldn’t believe him. Therefore, he could only use a different method.
He casually picked up a pen and paper and began to draw. Zuo Mei looked at his busy figure and smiled.
Just by looking at him right now, she was already very satisfied.
Time passed minute by minute. Just as she was about to leave quietly, Wang Dong finally put down his pen.
“Let me sing you a song, alright?”
When she saw his calm eyes, she actually nodded.
It was just one song, but it didn’t take long.
She decided to enjoy the time alone with her crush.
Wang Dong took out a brand new guitar from the room next door. He had bought it not long ago. He didn’t expect to be using it so soon.
He sat on the chair and looked at the lyrics that he had just written. He played the first note:
“From the beginning, I knew you knew me
“But only now do I realize
” I’m creating a dream of two people
“So here I am, writing this song
“Tell you I’ve been waiting
“In a way, tell me, girl, say you need me”
The song “U Make Me Wanna” could be considered quite famous in his previous life.
He was singing a version that had been translated into Chinese. A few words had also been changed, but it didn’t affect the smoothness of the entire song at all.
Zuo Mei couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
She covered her mouth and looked at her crush in disbelief.
The light of dusk shone on Wang Dong’s body, covering him with a layer of holy gauze. He looked at Zuo Mei with a focused expression, as if he was looking at his lover.
His deep voice added some sexiness to the song.
For the first time, Zuo Mei knew that Wang Dong could not only compose on the spot, but also sing while playing.
She hoped that time would stop at this moment.
But she also knew that this was impossible.
The song ended.
She walked forward and hugged Wang Dong. She choked up and said, “I thought you would despise me. I thought I wasn’t good enough for you. I’m really terrible. Why did I have to be so unfortunate…”
Wang Dong patted her back and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s all in the past.”
She whimpered like an injured little dog.
Because of this face, she had been harassed a lot, but what could she do?
She could only convince herself again and again that this was normal.
Every time she saw someone her age who was brimming with happiness, she had to accept reality unwillingly. Occasionally, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she would have the urge to ruin her face. But she knew she could not afford to do that.
It was because she didn’t want Wang Dong to see her disfigured self.
When they met again, the joy didn’t last long. After all, she realized that she was no longer qualified to stand beside him.
He was simply too outstanding.
“You’re so far away. Can I really stand beside you?”
Wang Dong knew that she had a knot in her heart. He sighed helplessly and said, “Since you’re still doubting yourself, why don’t you come with me?”
She wiped away her tears and said with red eyes, “Alright.”
They arrived at the place where the bicycle was parked. Wang Dong sat in front while Zuo Mei sat in the back. She carefully wrapped her arms around his waist and asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know later. Are you holding onto me?”
Wang Dong asked.
Zuo Mei tightened her grip again and said with a red face, “Yes..”
