Superstar Growth Handbook

After the press conference, Xia Chen went back to live at home. The next four months would be a rest and practice period. Four months was not too long, and it happened to coincide with the Chinese New Year, so it was very lively.

During this period, I have met Lu Yaoyang many times. Except for some discomfort at the first time, there is no embarrassment as Xia Chen expected. Lu Yaoyang didn't ask the answer to that question again, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Also do not mention.After meeting again, the relationship between the two seemed to be back to the past, but there was an unknown intimacy in their behavior.

"It's too cold, don't go out these two days, and I'll take you to the hot spring when I'm on vacation."

Lu Yaoyang's still gentle and concerned voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Although there was heating in the room, it was still a bit chilly, and he was afraid of the cold, so he had no choice but to lie under the blanket and was unhappy. It was just cold, and the heating was not enough.

Xia Chen's voice was full of tiredness, "Well, when is your school closed?"

Lu Yaoyang said: "There is still one month." It has been more than half a month since Lu Yaoyang returned to school after the acquisition of Wucun. Now Wucun is being demolished, and soon there will be a brand new financial center base.

Xia Chen muttered softly, "It's been so long."

Lu Yaoyang smiled and said, "Then when do you want to go? It doesn't matter if I ask for leave."

Xia Chen yawned and said sleepily, "Forget it then."

Hearing Xia Chen's sleepiness, Lu Yaoyang said: "Sleep when you're sleepy, and don't put your phone by the bed."

Xia Chen nodded and said, "Understood, good night."

Lu Yaoyang said: "Good night."

The next morning Xia got up and went downstairs wearing thick home clothes, with thick cotton slippers on her feet. Xia Kui saw it and said, "I put it on so early."

Xia Chen nodded, a gust of cool wind blew past, shrank his neck and said, "It's cold." After speaking, Xia Chen turned his head to look, the window was not closed properly, and the cold wind blew in.

Xia Kui smiled and said, "You were the same when you were young. You didn't go out in winter. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the cold when you grow up."

Xia Chen sneezed, closed the window, walked to Xia Kui and sat down to have breakfast.

Xia Kui got up after eating, Xia Chen quickly called Xia Chen to stop, and said, "Brother, wait for me."

Xia Kui asked, "Why?"

Xia Chen stuffed the half-eaten egg into his mouth and said, "Take me to Mr. Cheng."

Xia Kui nodded and said, "Okay."

Mr. Cheng was Tao Xingzhi's former vocal teacher, a national-level musician, and now he has retired. He usually spends his time planting flowers and teasing birds.After Tao Xingzhi knew about him, he took him to see Mr. Cheng and asked Mr. Cheng to teach him.

Mr. Cheng doesn't like to do these things. He has long declared that he will not accept apprentices, otherwise the threshold of his family will be broken, but now it is his beloved little apprentice who begs him so much, and he can't bear to refuse. , I had no choice but to agree half-heartedly, but it was not considered as an apprentice, it was just a few words on demand when I had nothing to do.

Xia Chen was also afraid of disturbing the old man, so he only went to two or three classes this week, and he would bring some things when he went, which were not expensive, that is, some things related to flowers, birds and birds.The most valuable thing he ever gave was a painting by Wu Daozi that Xia Kui brought with him when Xia Chen visited on the first day. Cheng Lao Neng agreed to give Xia Chen advice, and there was also a reason for this painting.

"Take a taxi back at noon, don't stay outside for too long, you'll catch cold easily." Xia Kui told Xia Chen as he sent Xia Chen to Cheng Lao's door.

Xia Chen nodded, and wrapped her clothes tightly. One of the reasons for the cold winter in S City is the wind. If the clothes are not wrapped tightly, the wind will blow in and make you cool.

After getting out of the car, Xia Chen went straight to Cheng Lao's door without saying goodbye.

After ringing the doorbell, an aunt in her 50s came to open the door. Seeing Xia Chen, she smiled and said, "Xia Chen is here, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Xia Chen's appearance is still very popular with women, regardless of age, especially for aunts who are five or sixty years old, it is extremely rare to see it.

Xia Chen smiled at the aunt and asked, "What is Teacher Cheng doing?"

The aunt said: "I'm playing chess with your teacher's wife in the back room."

Xia Chen nodded, walked into the room, it was much warmer immediately, the aunt took his coat and hung it up, said: "I'll pour you a cup of tea, you go sit down and rest for a while."

Xia Chen nodded and walked softly to the back room. Mrs. Cheng heard the movement, looked over, smiled slightly, and said, "Here we come."

Xia Chen smiled respectfully and nodded, "Master."

Mrs. Cheng is seventy-seven in her sixties this year, but she has a very good temperament.

Mr. Cheng is seventy-five years old this year. He doesn't have the temperament of a musician at all, but he is like an old urchin. If he can't play chess, the old lady will always play tricks.

Seeing Xia Chen coming, Mr. Cheng glanced at him and said, "Wait until I finish playing this game of chess."

Xia Chen nodded and sat beside her, silently.

After half an hour, Mr. Cheng finally finished playing chess, got up, and said, "Let's go."

Xia Chen had practiced vocal music for a period of time before, so Mr. Cheng didn't need to teach some basics, just let Xia Chen contact each other every day.What Xia Chen does here is to listen to music works by Mr. Cheng and some international masters every day.

Cheng Lao said, "You have to learn to appreciate the good before you can know your own shortcomings."

Mr. Cheng and Xia Chen walked to the music room next door. Mr. Cheng found a chair and talked. He looked at Xia Chen and said, "Sing Ode to Joy."

Xia Chen nodded, stood up straight with her chest out and her stomach in, took a breath, and opened her mouth to sing.

"come! goofjoy

Mr. Cheng echoed cheerfully and hummed along.

At the end of the song, Cheng Lao nodded with a smile on his face, but it wasn't because of Xia Chen.

"How do you feel about yourself?"

Xia Chen shook her head, "Not good."

Cheng Lao then asked: "Is it bad there?"

Xia Chen had a strong face and said, "You can't sing well."

Cheng Lao shook his head, stood up, and said, "There are seven most important points in singing, the voice, the emotion, the writing, the taste, and the appearance. How much do you think you can do with these seven points?"

Xia Chen thought for a while and said: "The voice is not well controlled, the emotion is insufficient, there is no problem with enunciating words, and there is no style and charm of its own. The appearance and vocal music are not directly related."

Cheng Lao nodded and said: "If you know what your problem is, then you have to change it. If you can't control it once, you can practice ten times to find the right feeling, remember him, and get familiar with him. As for love, the feeling when singing works , it’s up to you to express yourself, the same song, one person can make people cry and another person can make people laugh, it depends on how you express the emotion of this song, I can’t teach you this, you Try to figure it out. As for the style, it has something to do with your person, I can’t teach you, you need to figure it out yourself, only when you have your own style, I can guide you and tell you how to do it, but now you don’t have your own style."

Xia Chen nodded seriously and said, "Yes."

Cheng Lao waved his hand and said, "You continue to practice."

This practice lasted for one morning, with a half-hour rest in the middle, and continued the practice after sending a text message with Lu Yaoyang. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Xia Chen was going to go home, and Lu Yaoyang was coming to pick him up after class.

Cheng Lao nodded and said, "You study the seven words I told you carefully, and think about it when you go back."

Xia Chen bowed respectfully and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Cheng, goodbye."

Cheng Lao waved his hand, with a friendly smile on his face after class, which was different from the strictness during class, "Go."

Well-behaved and self-motivated, the most important thing is a talented student, there is no teacher who doesn't like it.

Xia Chen nodded, and walked out the door. Before he could go out, he saw a thin and tall figure standing straight in winter.

"Ayang." Xia Chen walked over quickly.

Lu Yaoyang turned his head and saw Xia Chen showing a gentle smile, "get out of class is over."

Xia Chen smiled sweetly and said, "Yes."

Lu Yaoyang was afraid that Xia Chen would be cold, so he dragged him to the car quickly, "Get in the car quickly."

Xia Chen nodded, and sat in the car. The heating in the car was very strong, and the coldness disappeared immediately.

Lu Yaoyang got into the car right after him, and asked, "Go back to eat at noon?"

Xia Kui was not at home at noon, and Xia Chen didn't like to eat alone, so he thought for a while and said, "Let's go out to eat."

Lu Yaoyang nodded, and asked dotingly, "What do you want to eat?"

Xia Chen said, "Hot pot."

Eating hot pot in winter is the best!

Lu Yaoyang smiled and said, "Then eat hot pot."

The car stopped at the entrance of a Chongqing hot pot restaurant, and the driver got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.

Lu Yaoyang tucked up Xia Chen's clothes, "Don't get in the wind."

Xia Chen nodded obediently, and asked Lu Yaoyang to help him fix his clothes.

After finishing it, Lu Yaoyang squeezed Xia Chen's face and said, "It's done."

Xia Chen nodded, got out of the car and entered the store, Lu Yaoyang followed behind him and entered the store.

There was fog on the glass of the store door, imagine how hot it was inside, the two of them entered the store, almost nowhere to stay, the store was almost full, Lu Yaoyang asked the waiter, "Are there any private rooms?"

The waiter shook his head, "Sorry, the box is full, but there are still two seats in the lobby."

Lu Yaoyang looked at Xia Chen, Xia Chen said, "Eat here."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and said to the waiter, "Lead the way."

The waiter nodded and smiled slightly: "Sir, this way please."

The waiter led the two of them to a corner, "Please sit down."

When the two of them were seated, the waiter took out the menu and pen and handed them over, "What do you want to eat?"

Lu Yaoyang handed the menu to Xia Chen, Xia Chen patted the seat next to him, "Sit down and watch together."

Lu Yaoyang smiled slightly, and sat down. The two sat side by side, head to head. From the perspective of others, they looked like a couple in love.
