Chapter 15: It turns out you don’t know how either
Zhao Jian just felt like he had punched cotton.
No... Zhao Jian looked incredulous.
He was already so close to her face, but Xia Linxing didn't lose his temper? When did he become so tolerant?
This is still the same disagreement... Oh, that's not right. When Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing had a conflict, he never "spoke" to Xia Linxing; at that time, Xia Linxing seemed to be simply unhappy with Shen Sibai (from Zhao Jian's personal perspective), so he rushed to find trouble with Shen Sibai without thinking.
Why is it that now that she's here, she suddenly becomes so good-tempered?
Is it that he bullies the weak and fears the strong?
Zhao Jian looked down at himself and touched his golden hair.
Well, it’s true… Zhao Jian thought confidently: He does look much more difficult to deal with than that pretty boy Shen Sibai…
But no... Zhao Jian gritted his teeth angrily.
Originally, he was simply unhappy with Xia Linxing and came to make him unhappy and vent the anger he had been holding in his heart, but Xia Linxing refused to accept the challenge. Zhao Jian's psychological state suddenly changed from "venting anger" to "fighting for face" -
Why did Xia Linxing ignore his provocation? !
Zhao Jian continued to provoke her, "What I mean is, your singing is too bad. Performing on stage like this is a torture for us (the audience) and the audience."
"Practicing is a waste of time."
"oh oh……"
This time, Xia Linxing looked like he finally understood. Zhao Jian breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, gathered his strength again, raised his chin, and got ready to receive Xia Linxing's counterattack.
Then he heard Xia Linxing humbly ask him: "So what do you think is the best way for me to prepare now?"
"I actually want to sing well, but I just can't hit the high notes. Do you have any good ideas?"
...Hmm? Zhao Jian lowered his head.
Then he saw a pair of big, round eyes filled with sincerity and a humbly eager desire to learn.
No... Zhao Jian was stunned.
The question Xia Linxing asked just now was not sarcasm, but a real question to him?
When did Xia Linxing's rank become so high? !
He actually learned to retreat in order to advance!!!
Wouldn't this make him seem completely unreasonable for mocking Xia Linxing for no reason?!
Zhao Jian's face flushed with frustration at Xia Linxing's reaction. His chest rose and fell, and he opened and closed his mouth, trying to say something, but nothing seemed to fit. Xia Linxing's wide, sincere eyes made it impossible for him to find a reason to lash out. In the end, he could only snort through gritted teeth, gnashing his teeth as he turned and walked away.
And it seemed as if he walked deliberately for Xia Linxing to hear. He trod heavily as he left, and his whole body made a clanging sound, as if this could vent his dissatisfaction.
While walking, he secretly glanced at Xia Linxing's reaction behind him.
Zhao Jian originally thought he could catch Xia Linxing's change of expression, but Xia Linxing just sighed and muttered, "So he doesn't know how to do it either..."
What the hell?!
What do you mean "he can't"?!
It's just a high note, who can't do it?!
Oh my, I have a bad temper! Zhao Jian has never suffered such an "insult"!
He suddenly turned around and walked back with a "dengdengdeng" sound.
"Give it to me!" Zhao Jian stretched out his hand towards Xia Linxing.
Xia Linxing blinked twice, and a small question mark appeared on his tilted head.
"Give me the sheet music!" Zhao Jian said impatiently, "Didn't you say you couldn't sing the high notes? Which one do you not know?"
Oh, so that's it... Xia Linxing suddenly realized, and immediately presented the music score to Zhao Jian respectfully with both hands.
Zhao Jian snorted, quickly pulled out the A4 paper, and shook it. "Which sentence?"
"This sentence, this sentence, and this sentence..." Xia Linxing leaned over and pointed at the paper with his fingers.
"Heh..." Zhao Jian looked at the few lines Xia Linxing pointed out, "You can't even sing something so simple?" He thought it was a very difficult song. He was really just a kid who came here for fun. The notes in this song weren't that high, and he couldn't even sing it...
He cleared his throat and, in a show-off manner that he himself was not even aware of, sang aloud the passage containing the lines that Xia Linxing had pointed out.
Sure enough, the next second, "Wow!"
Xia Linxing looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Zhao Jian, you are so amazing!"
"You sang such a difficult part so easily..."
The corners of Zhao Jian's mouth curled up slightly, then quickly pursed as if realizing something, "It's just that this song is very simple..."
There was an unconcealable glint in his eyes, "You're just too new. This song isn't difficult for me at all..."
"Yeah!" Xia Linxing didn't get angry when he was called "green." After all, it was the truth... He just looked at Zhao Jian with shining eyes, "Then can you teach me?"
"I won't bother you for long."
"But it doesn't matter if you don't have time." After all, the first stage is imminent, and every trainee is training against the clock. Xia Linxing is embarrassed to delay Zhao Jian.
"I can practice more on my own—"
"I've told you to practice blindly, but you still can't sing it after a week!" Zhao Jian interrupted Xia Linxing impatiently, "Let me make it clear first, I don't have much time. If you can't learn it, I won't teach you anymore!"
"Yeah, I know!" Xia Linxing was extremely happy and gave Zhao Jian a sweet smile. "Zhao Jian, you are such a good person!"
"Don't, don't say so much nonsense..." Zhao Jian looked away uncomfortably after being flashed by Xia Linxing's smile. "Let me teach you how to use your abdominal muscles first..."
"Relax first."
Xia Linxing suddenly became limp.
"Is this relaxing enough?" the obedient student asked Teacher Zhao.
Zhao Jian: “…” There’s no need to be so relaxed.
"I mean, relax your throat."
"Oh oh..." Xia Linxing stood up straight again, "And then?"
"Take a deep breath and sink it into your abdomen."
"Sink, where to sink?" Xia Linxing was stuck at this step before. He had no idea about the location of the abdominal cavity.
"Forget it..." Zhao Jian walked over, stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Linxing in front of him, and put one hand on Xia Linxing's shoulder, "Don't move your shoulder."
"Then... inhale..." He placed one hand on Xia Linxing's stomach and slowly pushed the air down, "Yes, follow my hand..."
So, when Xie Tinglan followed the director's advice and came to the trainee training classroom and showed up in front of the camera, what he saw was the wonderful scene of "Zhao Jian holding Xia Linxing in his arms with one hand and pressing the other hand on Xia Linxing's soft belly."
