Chapter 894: Leapfrogging
Since then, Guan Lin has been with Jian Zhiheng every day, using his spare time to practice their competition songs over and over again.
They would also go to the large auditorium after school and sing to the empty seats below.
Courage grows here, and friendship thrives here.
It is here that Guan Lin truly realizes a self-leap.
At first, as soon as he came on stage, his legs were weak with fright, knowing that there was no audience below, but this feeling of being in the spotlight still made him very uncomfortable.
It was Jian Zhiheng who accompanied him and tirelessly encouraged him, and Guan Lime finally sang the first sentence. Although he was a little stumbling, although he was so embarrassed that he wanted to run away again after hearing the sound amplified by the microphone, all of these finally became the footprints on his way forward, and it was the prelude to his success.
He is improving little by little, his singing voice is becoming more and more stable, and when he is practicing, Jian Zhiheng will sit aside, clapping his hands gently for him, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes. Even when the room is empty, he will always be his most loyal listener.
During this time, Guan Lin began to feel that there were some things he had been avoiding that he might try to try...... It's not that bad either.
Because, when he sings on stage, he is really happy.
Growing up, he never had such confidence and satisfaction.
β¦β¦
The competition is getting closer and closer, and the list of participants for each grade is also posted.
Guan Lin was on the list of first graders and saw a familiar name.
It was this name that made his newly established self-confidence almost collapse again.
"You already knew she was going to participate. β
Facing Guan Lin's questioning, Jian Zhiheng shrugged: "Oh, do you mean your ex-girlfriend? β
Guan Lin almost wanted to slap the table and yell, in this case, you still want me to lose face, what kind of heart do you have?
"It's because she also wants to participate that you should behave better and make her regret it!" Jian Zhiheng explained seriously, "Let her see that you can live well without her, and let her know that leaving you is her loss, not yours!"
Guan Lin was stunned, took out the jade slip again, and looked at the repertoire he had chosen for himself.
I didn't feel it when I concentrated on practicing the song before, but now I look at the lyrics carefully, and it is not difficult to find that the first half of this song is sad, expressing the pain and helplessness of a man who loses his beloved woman. In the second half, it is a twist and turn, expressing that men come out of the haze and start their new lives again, with a positive and sunny atmosphere. Isn't this song a symbol of himself and Liu Mo?
Guan Lin suddenly understood Jian Zhiheng's deep meaning. He asked himself to participate in the singing competition, on the one hand, he wanted to be able to have self-confidence, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this song to say goodbye to the past completely.
Since half of his past pain was given by Liu Mo, it is naturally particularly important to take this new step in front of her.
β¦β¦
On this day, it was finally the day of the competition.
Guan Lin and Jian Zhiheng were waiting backstage, and there were many contestants here, noisy and shouting, invisibly rendering a tense atmosphere.
Guan Lin is still in contact with these competitors for the first time, maybe it is a psychological effect, he always feels that everyone looks at him badly, and even he has made up a series of provocative lines for them in his heart.
This immediately made him panic, and sure enough, it was one thing to practice by himself, and it was another thing to really perform in front of the entire academy. Sure enough, he still couldn't do it......
In the waiting room, the most eye-catching thing is Rong Xiao. As a school bully, every time he comes to the academy, he can cause a sensation. Now he is waiting alone, followed by a group of younger brothers, this one beats him on the back, the other hands him tea, and more people stop in front of him, blocking the swarming girls.
Here, there are girls of all grades, holding flowers, screaming and squeezing forward. With carefully prepared gifts, they all hope to be the lucky one closest to him. The boiling enthusiasm almost toppled the roof.
At this time, those girls who officially signed up for the competition were obviously much more leisurely. They can wait here generously, and they don't have to worry about making too much noise and being blown away by the responsible personnel. However, many of them are not interested in singing at all. It was entirely because he knew that Rong Xiao was going to participate, so he signed up temporarily as a ticket to get close to him.
"Sure enough, I still don't want to participate. Guan Lin looked at such a scene and sighed silently.
All the enthusiasm and expectations of the audience are just Rong Xiao alone. What they want to see is not a singing competition, just his solo concert. The other contestants are just foils under his star.
No one wants to win at all. What's the point of being a champion who is not favored by others? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really win him by luck, maybe it will anger his fanatical admirers, and then you will have no place in the academy at all.
"It's all come to this point, just hold on a little longer!" Jian Zhiheng grabbed Guan Lin, who wanted to run away, in time, "Isn't this still me?"
Somehow, being watched by his enthusiastic eyes, Guan Li's heart did surge with an inexplicable courage. He sat back down, trying to cut through the distractions and continue to practice his song at the last minute.
It didn't take long for a delicate voice to sound on the other side.
"Brother Xiao, my singing skills are not very good, there are a few small questions, can I ask you for advice?"
Guan Lin's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat. He turned his head suddenly, and what he saw was wearing an emerald green long dress, full of rings, and her long hair was delicately permed and dyed.
Before, her ex-boyfriend, the president of the student union, graduated and was in the window period, so he began to show favor to Rong Xiao frequently. For a girl like her who loves vanity, it is still a very face-saving thing to be with the school bully.
However, Rong Xiao has many suitors, and the other girls are not vegetarians, so someone immediately pushed back in a weird way: "What kind of singing competition do you come to participate in if your singing skills are not good?" β
For Liu Mo, who seduces men everywhere because of her good conditions, she has always been the most disgusted type in the girl circle. As soon as she saw someone scolding her, many people next to her immediately snickered.
"That's it!" the other girl sneered, caressing her wavy curly hair. With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly noticed Guan Lin on the other side, and suddenly raised his voice exaggeratedly, "Hey, Liu Mo, isn't that your ex-boyfriend in the primary department? He also came to participate in the competition? Singing skills are not good, why don't you ask him?"
Liu Mo also followed her line of sight, and looked at each other, Guan Lin felt even more nervous. He didn't know how Liu Mo would answer, or would she deny her ex-boyfriend again in front of everyone?
Liu Mo's eyes didn't wave, as if he just saw a kitten and puppy on the side of the road, and didn't even give him a straight look, and snorted coldly casually: "If you like it, you can ask him." I don't care. β
The curly-haired girl pursed her lips, and sure enough, she twisted her waist and walked over, pulled out the lyrics from the jade slip, handed them to Guan Lin, and said angrily: "Hey, handsome guy, can you help me take a look, how should I transpose the sound here?"
"I don't know. Guan Lin replied coldly, and at the same time subconsciously glanced up at Liu Mo.
Such indifference was originally the norm for him to get along with people. If he is asked to deliberately make love with other girls for the sake of Qi Liu Mo, he really can't do this kind of thing.
Liu Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of victor's brilliance, she folded her arms proudly, and smiled coquettishly: "Have you seen it, even a man who was dumped by me is not uncommon to ignore you." You still want to pester Brother Xiao, why don't you look in the mirror and see your face?"
"You ......" the curly-haired girl trembled with anger. glared at Guan Lin fiercely, and threw down a sentence angrily: "You are really useless! No wonder you dumped others!"
The fight between the two girls caught themselves in the middle, and Guan Lin didn't know how to deal with this kind of scene. He only felt like he was on pins and needles, and just facing her made him exhaust his strength, not to mention that he would have to sing in front of her later...... Sure enough, he shouldn't have come here......
Just when he was most embarrassed, the second-in-command beside Rong Xiao, Lu Sa, suddenly stood up.
"Okay, Brother Xiao has spoken, don't quarrel, if you want to quarrel again, don't disturb the boss's rest. β
The school bully spoke, and the effect was immediate. The waiting room, which was still chaotic, suddenly fell silent.
Although Liu Mo was still a little unwilling, she didn't dare to disobey Rong Xiao, so she obediently sat down in the chair next to her and concentrated on making up her makeup.
He's ...... Are you helping yourself out of the siege? Guan Lin was a little stunned for a moment. But looking at Rong Xiao again, he leaned on the back of the chair at random, picked up a headset and stuffed it into his ear, his expression was lazy, he looked completely lazy to pay attention to them, Guan Lin smiled self-deprecatingly. It's because he thinks about it too much, how can he help himself if it's not related to him?
But it's nice to be someone who responds like him. Guan Lin looked at him with some envy, he could live so majesticly and chic...... I guess I can't do it in my lifetime.
A quarter of an hour before the opening, the instructor in charge entered the waiting room. It turns out that in this competition, the order of appearance is not sorted by grade and class, but is determined by lottery. The contestants drew lots one after another, and Guan Lin saw that there was a conspicuous number "2" on the piece of paper he pulled out.
This means that he is going to be the second to appear!
This is not the worst, what makes Guan Lin even more desperate is that he was drawn to the first place, which happens to be Rong Xiao!
This is really the worst position...... Follow him on the stage, who will listen to his own songs again?
At that time, everyone will definitely be immersed in the previous excitement, and this residual heat, it is estimated that it will not be consumed cleanly without passing through five or six people. In other words, those five or six people are all cannon fodder, standard foils, and they are the biggest cannon fodder!
Sure enough, he really shouldn't listen to Jian Zhiheng...... Guan Lin hung his head, only to feel that it was too late to regret it. He came on this trip, except for Liu Mo and losing face in front of everyone, he had nothing to gain at all...... it was his own fault, and this was the retribution for his weak position!
In the apprehension, Guan Lin finally waited for the curtain to open.
All kinds of beams of light sprinkled down, swirling lightly on the stage, and the figure set off was even more chic.
Rong Xiao held the microphone in his hand, unhurriedly came to his mouth, and sang freely under the accompanying music.
"Love, whether it is full of temptation,
whether it silences people,
Whether it's hidden somewhere in the bottom of my heart.
I, I don't dare to speak nonsense,
Don't dare to touch it easily,
I don't dare to blame you for being snubbed. β
He sings really well, his voice is very magnetic and emotional. That kind of tenderness and affection from the heart should be sung to the person in your heart.
In the audience, many people began to wave glow sticks, and some girls covered their faces and screamed. Maybe they're fantasizing that this song is for themselves.
"Afraid of falling flowers,
Fear of rain falling,
Afraid of the bamboo pavilion falling,
Someone is waiting for me. β
He can easily control the whole audience, sometimes waving his hand to interact with the audience, and can always detonate the atmosphere again and again. It seems that this stage should be his kingdom alone.
"Falling in love with someone,
We're all not wrong,
Just went different,
A fork in the road.
If from now on both hands,
I can't hold you tightly anymore,
Just let me hug for one more second. β
Perhaps looking at his natural performance, Guan Lin began to feel that maybe the audience was not so terrible.
"Falling in love with someone,
We're all not wrong,
I just can't be with you all the time,
Go to the end.
If my heart hurts,
There is not a single person in the world who understands,
I don't regret ever lovingβ"
β¦β¦
After Rong Xiao poured the audience with a song "It's right to love you", immediately after, it was Guan Lin's turn to play.
He held the microphone nervously. Everything was as expected, the screams of those audiences, many people shouted "one more song", they still wanted to hear Rong Xiao sing, and they were just passers-by for them.
In such an emotion, he became flustered again, and his voice was very soft, and his voice was out of tune.
At first, the atmosphere on the field was indeed a bit cold. The better Rong Xiao's performance, the more his failures can only be reflected.
But singing and singing, Guan Lin's heart gradually became firm.
No matter how much it is. At least he knew that Jian Zhiheng had been watching him backstage all along. Even if no one in the audience appreciates him, then just sing to him alone.
Perhaps because of the relaxation of his mentality, Guan Lin seems to be standing on the original stage again, all the audience in the audience does not exist, and here is back to the space between him and Jian Zhiheng. He sang more and more naturally, his singing voice became more and more beautiful, and finally, he played his most perfect singing skills in front of everyone.
Gradually, some people began to shake the glow sticks, which was their encouragement to him. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
