Superstar Growth Handbook

"Okay, now we invite contestant NO.60 to come on stage."

Xia Chen stepped off the stage, and the host's voice became farther and farther away.

"Xia Chen, you sing really well!" Huang Wenqing looked at Xia Chen excitedly like a little fan.

Xia Chen smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "Really? When I first came on stage, I was quite nervous when I saw so many people. I was afraid that I might not be able to sing well."

Huang Wenqing shook his head and looked at Xia Chen with a look of admiration, "No way! You sing so well, I think they are all dumbfounded!"

"That's so exaggerated." Xia Chen's face flushed slightly with shyness, "When do you plan to go back?"

Huang Wenqing looked at his watch, "It's still early, let's listen to how other people are singing, and leave at 09:30."

Xia Chen nodded, and Huang Wenqing walked out of the backstage and squeezed to the front to listen, but after listening to the whole process, he didn't hear a few good songs, which was refreshing.

Huang Wenqing said: "Xia Chen, you will definitely win the first place."

Xia Chen smiled and shook his head. He is not a professional, and he sings much better than him.

The two kept hearing 09:30, and it was late, so they went back first.

Xia Chen took a taxi to send Huang Wenqing home and then headed home. It was past ten o'clock when he got home.

Xia Chen took out the key to open the door, walked into the house, and just as she took off her shoes, she heard Xia Kui's voice from the living room, "Why are you back so late?"

Xia Chen put on her slippers and said, "I went out with my classmates."

Xia Kui relaxed her frown and said, "Next time I go out to say hello, try to come back as soon as possible."

Xia Chen smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go up and rest first."

Xia Kui nodded and said, "Go to bed early."

Xia Chen nodded and walked upstairs. After such a trip, Xia Chen was indeed a little tired. After taking a quick shower, Xia Chen lay down and rested. It was already the next day when she woke up.

After washing up and going downstairs, Xia Kui had already left to go to the company. Xia Chen had breakfast alone, then went to the hospital to see Xia Handong. When he came back in the afternoon, he played a game at the nearby basketball court.

Xia Chen didn't stop until he was sweating profusely, and walked back slowly.

On the way, I passed a canteen and went in to buy a bottle of mineral water, then sat down on the bench at the door and rested for a while.

"elder brother."

Suddenly a voice sounded above Xia Chen's head. Xia Chen was startled, and raised his head. The young man in front of him was about fourteen or sixteen, but his facial features were quite three-dimensional, and he looked very handsome, especially his eyes, which were too black to be true. No matter how dark it is, it seems to be able to suck people in.

However, he didn't remember that he knew this person, but he looked a little familiar.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Xia Chen looked at the boy in front of him suspiciously.

There was a glimmer of gloom in the boy's eyes, but immediately, it was covered by the boy, and the boy's expression became sad, "Brother, you don't even remember me, I am Yaoyang."

The pitiful expression of the young man made Xia Chen feel that he was quite sinful, and he tried hard to recall whether he knew a person named Yaoyang before.

"We drank coke together here, and you got into a fight, do you remember?" Lu Yaoyang saw that Xia Chen was thinking seriously, and helped Xia Chen to remember.

What Lu Yaoyang said, Xia Chen was quite impressed, because he went to the United States not long after this incident.

"You are Xiaoyang?" Xia Chen looked at the boy's familiar but unfamiliar face, and was a little surprised. Before, Lu Yaoyang was very thin, but now he has grown so strong, and before, Lu Yaoyang had never called him brother, so When Lu Yaoyang called him, he really didn't expect it to be him.

When Lu Yaoyang saw Xia Chen remembering himself, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, "That's right!"

"You've grown up so much! How old are you now?" Xia Chen was also quite excited to see her childhood playmate whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Lu Yaoyang looked at Xia Chen, "I'm 15 years old."

Xia Chen nodded and said, "Then you are in the third year of junior high?"

Lu Yaoyang nodded, and blurted out a lot of questions, "Yes, where is your brother? Where do you study? Are you still living in the original home now? Why did you leave suddenly? I have been looking for you for a long time!"

Xia Chen opened his mouth and smiled in surprise. In his memory, he and Lu Yaoyang were not very familiar, so now that Lu Yaoyang missed him so much, he was a little surprised, but he still answered Lu Yaoyang's question obediently: "My mother had to leave suddenly, so I left with her. I am studying in No. [-] Middle School and living in the same place." Finally, Xia Chen said, "You can come to my house to play if you have nothing to do some other day."

Lu Yaoyang had an innocent smile on his face, "Really? Then I can come and play with my brother tomorrow?"

Xia Chen nodded, "Come in the afternoon, I'm going to the hospital during the day."

Hearing that Xia Chen was going to the hospital, Lu Yaoyang immediately showed a worried expression, "Go to the hospital? Is brother sick?"

Xia Chen shook his head, his face darkened, "My father is sick, I'm going to the hospital to accompany him in the morning."

"Oh." Lu Yaoyang nodded and patted Xia Chen on the shoulder, "Uncle will definitely get better."

Xia Chen nodded, and showed a big smile at Lu Yaoyang, "It will definitely get better."

Lu Yaoyang looked at Xia Chen and was stunned for a while, the way you smiled remained the same as before.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Chen waved at Lu Yaoyang's face.

Lu Yaoyang came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing, brother, I'll go back first, and I'll come to you tomorrow."

Xia Chen nodded, "Well, see you tomorrow, bye."

Lu Yaoyang turned around and waved his hands, "Bye bye."

Xia Chen watched Lu Yaoyang leave, and left in a black car.

"Master, are you going back now?" The driver looked at the gloomy boy in the back seat and swallowed. Although he knew that the boy was only 15 years old, every time he faced him, he always felt a little creepy.

Lu Yaoyang was silent for a long time, and the driver didn't dare to say any more.

After a while, Lu Yaoyang said: "Go back." The driver drove away from here, and today he didn't know what happened, Lu Yaoyang suddenly said that he wanted to come here, but he didn't move when he came, just sat in the car , and his complexion was terrible, and he didn't know what was going on.

The car quickly arrived at Lu's house, the driver parked the car, opened the door and let Lu Yaoyang get out of the car.

Lu Yaoyang got out of the car and walked slowly towards the magnificent three-story mansion in front of him. Once he entered the house, Qiu Ling who heard the movement had already come out, with a worried expression on his face, "Why are you back so late?"

Lu Yaoyang lowered his head to change shoes at Xuanguang's place. After changing, he raised his head and looked at his mother, showing a rather strange smile, "Brother Xia Chen is back."

Qiu Ling was taken aback, Xia Chen?Didn't he go abroad?

Just when Qiu Ling was in a daze, Lu Yaoyang was already walking upstairs, and met a [-]-year-old girl dressed in beautiful clothes coming down from the upstairs, when she saw Lu Yaoyang, she showed an extremely disdainful look smile.

Lu Yaoyang stopped and stared at the girl steadily. The girl was frightened for a while, and hurried down, leaving a sentence of "yin and yang weirdness".

"Have you seen Xia Chen?" Qiu Ling turned to look at his son.

Lu Yaoyang continued to walk upstairs without turning his head, "Yes."

Qiu Ling frowned slightly, she really couldn't understand this child more and more.When the child learned that Xia Chen had left suddenly, he was bewildered and lost his temper every day, even thinking that she caused Xia Chen to leave.But at that time, Yaoyang was weak, and she couldn't beat and scold him, so she had to let him quarrel, thinking that the child's temper would only last for a few days at most, but what surprised her was that Yaoyang did only have a temper for a few days, but Afterwards, Yaoyang forbade her to mention Xia Chen again, as soon as he mentioned it, he would get angry and smash things, and even fainted in the worst case, after that, she never dared to mention Xia Chen again.

But now, I didn't expect Yaoyang to mention Xia Chen by himself, and the two seemed to meet again.

I hated it so much before, but now I don’t know why.

Qiu Ling shook his head and smiled, he still has a childish temper after all.

After Lu Yaoyang went upstairs, he went back to his room and lay down. When he closed his eyes, he looked like Xia Chen was asleep.The long eyelashes have kept disturbing my heart in these eight years, and made me hate them for so many years.

Eight years ago, Xia Chen left without saying goodbye. At that time, he was angry, angry, and finally even hated Xia Chen.

You left in such a hurry, you didn't even say goodbye to me, or, to you, I'm just so unimportant?Just a kid who played twice, eh?So no need to say goodbye?

Lu Yaoyang sneered, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom.

I will become important in your heart.

Not long after seeing Lu Yaoyang leave, Xia Chen also walked towards the house slowly, with a smile on his lips, seeing an old friend was also quite pleasing.

Back home, before Xia Kui came back, Xia Chen went upstairs to do her homework, and didn't come downstairs until she heard the noise downstairs, "Brother."

Xia Kui nodded at his younger brother, took off his suit, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xia Chen shook her head, "I'll wait for you to come back to eat."

Xia Kui nodded, "I'm coming back late, next time you eat first."

Xia Chen shook her head, "Anyway, there's no class tomorrow, it's okay to eat later, I'll ask Mother Song to heat up the dishes."

Xia Kui smiled, his younger brother sometimes became stubborn and it was useless to say anything, so he had to let him go.

The dishes were ready quickly, and the two of them went to the table to eat.

"How is your study? Have you decided to go to that university?" During the dinner, Xia Kui gave full play to the duties of an elder brother like a father.

Xia Chen shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'm just in my third year of high school, so don't worry."

Xia Kui smiled slightly, and didn't force the younger brother, just said: "Take the test wherever you want, don't worry too much."

Xia Chen nodded, and gave Xia Kui a piece of fish.

"By the way, big brother, Lu Yaoyang is coming to our house tomorrow." When he was about to finish eating, Xia Chen suddenly thought of this.

Xia Kui was slightly taken aback, "The one at Aunt Qiuling's house?"

Xia Chen has a little impression of Qiuling, she is a very gentle woman, he nodded, "Yeah."

Xia Kui asked, "How did you meet?"

Xia Chen was a little puzzled, Xia Kui didn't seem very friendly to Lu Yaoyang, "Brother? What happened to Lu Yaoyang?"

Xia Kui shook his head, "It's okay, just treat people well when they come to play."

He was very impressed with that kid from the Lu family. He met him at the Lu family's annual party. He has a very steady temper and good speech. He doesn't look like a teenager at all. , his personality is a bit strange, it should be said, strange to him, that kid from the Lu family doesn't seem to like him.But at that time, it was obviously the first time he met him, and he didn't know how he offended him.

Xia Chen nodded when her elder brother said that, "Yeah."

Xia Kui nodded, took two more mouthfuls and put down his chopsticks, saying, "Go up and rest when you're full, don't go to bed too late."

Xia Chen nodded, "Okay, brother, you should go to bed earlier."

"Understood." Xia Kui rubbed his younger brother's head and walked to the study. His father suddenly became seriously ill and the company was in chaos. He had to parachute to the company to succeed his father. It's slowly getting on the right track, but it's still very busy.

After Xia Chen had a full meal, he watched TV in the living room for a while before going upstairs to rest. He was vaguely looking forward to meeting Lu Yaoyang tomorrow.

After all, this was the first old man he saw after returning home.
