Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Chapter 182 The Same Crescent Moon

Among the people who came to participate in this competition, some of them had actually participated in such major international competitions.

Speaking of participating in large-scale competitions, Ning Yi had participated before, but that was in the past. Now she's like a complete novice.

Some of the more experienced people sat on the sidelines, constantly comforting everyone.

Today, Chen Wei took everyone to the competition venue to familiarize themselves with the area beforehand. She greeted the staff inside and said they could go in and visit for a while.

The competition was held at the Conservatory of Music in Goel, France, one of the top ten art schools in the country. Many staff members were busy setting up the venue in preparation for the competition.

With the competition approaching, most of the facilities were already set up, but for the sake of thoroughness, many staff members were still inspecting the premises.

“It’s so beautiful, that building looks like a church,” one of the girls said, pointing to a building not far away.

Everyone looked over, and Chen Wei began to introduce, "That's their teaching building. Its shape is about 60% similar to St. Paul's Cathedral in England, because the former principal of the Gao'er Conservatory of Music was very fond of the architectural style of St. Paul's Cathedral."

Everyone nodded and continued walking forward.

There were many foreigners here. Some of the staff members politely went up to greet Chen Wei when they saw her, and Ning Yi could understand some of their conversation.

After their conversation, a blonde woman with a name tag around her neck approached them and said in broken Chinese, "Hello, I'm Ina, welcome to France."

They also nodded politely in response.

Lna then said to Chen Wei, "As expected, both Chinese girls and boys are so good-looking."

Chen Wei smiled and said, "Of course."

Afterwards, Chen Wei led everyone on a long tour and told them a lot of stories about the Gao'er Music Academy.

Ning Yi couldn't help but take out her phone and take several photos because the buildings here were so beautiful that anyone would think it was a school just by looking at the exterior.

Ning Jian and the others will arrive in France tonight. They've booked the same hotel as her. The competition will officially start the day after tomorrow. She couldn't help but open her chat window with Ji Yan.

The screen showed that Ning Yi had sent several messages today, but Ji Yan had not yet replied.

France and China are about six hours apart, so Ning Yi and Ji Yan have had very little time to talk these past two days.

Ning Yi couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Ning Yi, what are you thinking about? We're planning to go to that restaurant across from the college later, want to go together?" Lu Zhen, who came with them, saw Ning Yi staring blankly at her phone and asked her.

Ning Yi put away her phone, looked up, and said, "Oh... okay."

"Who are you replying to? You seem distracted," teased one of the girls closest to Ning Yi.

"Boyfriend?" the girl continued to ask.

Another girl, Zhang Zirong, became interested: "Ning Yi is beautiful and plays the violin very well, it's normal for her to have a boyfriend."

Will your boyfriend come to watch your game?

Everyone looked towards Ning Yi.

Ning Yi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "He's quite busy with work, so he can't make it this time."

Although no one in this group knew each other's specific identities or backgrounds, they all guessed that their families were well-off, since hard work alone is not enough to raise an excellent violinist.

It was the upbringing and sufficient funds from my family that made me who I am today.

So they guessed that Ning Yi's boyfriend must also be a successful man. But since they were already talking about this, the others continued to ask Ning Yi about her boyfriend out of curiosity.

Ji Yan's profession was unusual, and Ning Yi wasn't very familiar with them, so she didn't seem to want to reveal too much, only giving vague answers to some questions.

There were eleven people in this group who came from China to participate in the competition. Most of them would be accompanied by their families, and some of them would also have their boyfriends or girlfriends come. So after talking about Ningyi, the topic shifted to the others.

Ning Yi drank less alcohol with everyone today because she doesn't behave well when drunk, so no one urged her to drink more. After all, they are currently in a foreign country, which is already inconvenient, and it would be even worse if something unexpected happened while drinking.

It was around nine o'clock when she got back to the hotel. She checked the time and saw that Ning Anyuan and the others would arrive at the hotel in three hours.

The thought that everyone has traveled from afar just to watch my game warms my heart.

They said many encouraging words to her, hoping that she wouldn't take awards and wins and losses too seriously, that it was enough to have given her all, and that enjoying the process of the competition was also very important.

After returning to the hotel, Ning Yi took a shower and then saw that Ji Yan had replied to her message at this time.

Ji Yan: I'm sorry, Xiao Yi, I've been quite busy with work and only now have time to read your message.

Ji Yan: Have you eaten yet?

Ji Yan: Are you used to the food there? How are you getting along with everyone?

Ning Yi picked up her phone, and her disappointed mood calmed down considerably.

She leaned against the headboard and replied to the text message: Everything is fine, don't worry about me.

Ningyi: My brother and the others will be here in two hours. I'd like to video chat with you for a bit. Is that convenient?

On the other side, Ji Yan, wearing sunglasses and standing next to his luggage, saw a message from Ning Yi on his phone. After thinking for a moment, he replied: Not now, I'll call you in a bit.

Ji Yan, who had just gotten off the plane, was waiting for his driver. If he tried to video chat now, he would be exposed.

Ning Yi walked to the window, leaned against the railing, and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. She couldn't help but think that the moon back home wouldn't rise for several more hours.

A few minutes later, the driver that Ji Yan had arranged in advance arrived. After getting into the car, Ji Yan told the driver the name of a hotel and then looked out the window.

At this moment, Ning Yi was unaware that she and Ji Yan were looking at the same crescent moon.
