Chapter 69: Love
Time flickered, and a week passed in a hurry.
Since the end of the finals, Xi Xi has been following the gold medal musician Wang Mengqian and staying in Phantom Sheng safely.
The other shortlisted contestant is with other musicians, and his style is completely different from Xi Xi. Although they are newcomers who come in together, the two are busy with their musicians every day, and rarely have the opportunity to meet and communicate, so that after a week, they are still like strangers.
The weather is getting cold every day, but Xi Xi will no longer worry about the weather.
Because of family and work, Xi Xi and Xi Ze don't have many clothes, and they rarely buy new clothes for themselves, and winter clothes are just a few simple ones. Wearing and wearing, plus washing again and again, the clothes are no longer so warm.
But now it's different, Xi Xi got the 500,000 prize money that the first place deserves through this competition.
For her current living conditions, 500,000 yuan is indeed a lot of money. Buying warm winter clothes for Xi Ze and himself, paying for Xi Ze's tuition and buying a schoolbag, everything is more than enough, and life seems to be getting better all of a sudden.
Wang Mengqian is very optimistic about Xi Xi's strength, attaches great importance to Xi Xi's study and practice during the Phantom Sheng, and concentrates on cultivating her, and when the time is ripe, Xi Xi can release his own solo album, and then hold personal concerts, signing concerts, fan meetings, commercial performance activities, endorsement activities, participating in entertainment variety shows, etc.
From this point of view, Xi Xi's future is bright, and she and Xi Ze no longer have to live the hard life they used to have.
If Xi Xi has any troubles recently, I'm afraid only her parents' affairs have caused her the most headaches.
On the night when Xi Xi went home after the game, the people waiting for Xi Xi at home, in addition to Xi Ze, also her parents.
They hurried here as soon as possible to learn the result of the Xixi game. Knowing that Xi Xi successfully won the first place with his strength, they smiled with great relief, and their faces couldn't hide their joy.
Xi Xi knew in her heart that they were not happy that she won the first place, they were excited that she could make money.
As long as Xi Xi has enough ability to make money, then there is a way to pay off the debts they owe from gambling.
In the face of such parents, Xi Xi really has a headache, but no matter what, they are her family after all, she can't get rid of it, and she can't get rid of it, since they don't let go of Xi Xi's competition and winning the prize, Xi Xi has no choice but to compromise.
However, this will be her last compromise and concession.
She didn't want to see her parents fall into the quagmire again because of her financial well-off, and she didn't want to use money to arouse their greed, so that instead of repenting, they would continue to live by gambling.
Xi Xi could imagine such a future, so she secretly swore that from now on, she would never help them clean up the mess again.
Through this week's study and training, Wang Mengqian has a certain understanding of Xi Xi. He knew that Xi Xi was living a very hard life with his own brother, but he didn't know that the worst thing in Xi Xi's family was actually her parents.
This morning, Xi Xi, as usual, came to the studio on the twelfth floor of Phantom Sheng Music Company.
This studio belongs to Wang Mengqian alone, which is the honor he deserves to make music to this day. Xi Xi feels really lucky to be able to learn from Wang Mengqian all the time and have Wang Mengqian tailor music for her.
In Phantom Sheng, Wang Mengqian is the most powerful musician, and following him, there will definitely be a good development.
Xi Xi stepped out of the elevator, greeted his passing colleagues with a smile, and walked directly towards Wang Mengqian's studio, looking slightly tired.
Last night, her parents called her again, and they kept arguing with her on the phone about adding living expenses, seeing that Xi Xi still refused to make concessions, they used both soft and hard, and said anything ugly, and finally Xi Xi was so angry that she cried and hung up the phone.
All night, Xi Xi didn't sleep well, and he felt very uncomfortable about this matter.
Obviously, when they took the money last time, they promised to do well, saying that they would never gamble again, and they would definitely work hard in a down-to-earth manner, and they would never embarrass Xi Xi with gambling debts again.
But what happened? All they told was a lie!
It's better now, Xi Xi doesn't give it, they blame all the fault on Xi Xi's head, and even want to make trouble until Phantom Sheng is embarrassed.
Even if Xi Xi and his parents do not have close contacts, Xi Xi still has a certain understanding of their attitude towards the world, they have always been impulsive, never thinking about the consequences, if it really comes to the company, Xi Xi can be regarded as completely finished.
This time, she won the first place in the competition, and became the singer that Phantom Sheng focused on cultivating, even though Xi Xi doesn't even have a solo album now, she has also become the focus of media attention.
If there is any unfilial scandal at this time, Xi Xi's future will be completely destroyed.
With such things in his mind, Xi Xi naturally couldn't sleep steadily, woke up and fell asleep, and before he knew it, the sky was bright. Because of the lack of sleep, Xi Xi's whole person looked listless, and he didn't seem to be able to lift his spirits when he did anything.
Even if he was listless, Xi Xi still held on to his spirit and came to Phantom Sheng to continue his daily training.
Recently, Wang Mengqian has basically mastered the characteristics of Xi Xi's singing, and has tried his best to tailor a song for her, intending to present it as the title song in her first solo album, and even the lyrics have been filled in.
Today is the day when Wang Mengqian listens to this song to Xi Xi, and he hopes that she can grasp the melody as soon as possible so that he can make further modifications.
Xi Xi raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the studio, and Wang Mengqian's mellow voice suddenly came from inside: "Please come in." ”
"Mr. Wang, this is the homework you asked me to do last time on the history of European music, and I have done it well. ”
Xi Xi took out his homework from his backpack and placed it on the table in front of Wang Mengqian in an orderly manner.
Since Wang Mengqian officially brought Xi Xi into the industry to study, he will arrange some homework for her every week, so that Xi Xi can master the knowledge of music and vocal skills faster, so that she can appear in the public's eyes as a singer faster.
Although these homework seem inconsequential, Xi Xi knows that Wang Mengqian asked her to do these things is definitely not useless, so she treats these homework very seriously, and never slacks off and is sloppy.
Wang Mengqian picked up the homework and looked at it, and said with a smile: "You have always completed the homework with quality and quantity, and I believe you have also learned a lot of knowledge from it. ”
With that, Wang Mengqian got up, went to the side to open his laptop, and began to prepare for Xi Xi to listen to music.
"Xi Xi, I'll help you tune the music first, and you can bring the lyrics yourself. ”
Wang Mengqian was busy debugging the music, without raising his head, and directly instructed Xi Xi to take the lyrics and come over to audition.
If it's okay to wait for the audition, Wang Mengqian plans to take Xi Xi to the recording studio to audition, so that Xi Xi can experience the feeling of recording songs in the studio first, and can also test the results of Xi Xi's learning for so long.
Wang Mengqian had finished speaking for a long time, but Xi Xi still didn't move, just stood in place in a daze, his eyes were scattered.
"Xi Xi, what's wrong with you, absent-minded?" Wang Mengqian frowned and stood up.
From guiding Xi Xi to learn to sing to this day, Wang Mengqian has never seen Xi Xi so absent-minded.
In Xi Xi's own words, music is her soul, nothing can hinder her from learning music, as long as she enters the world of music, nothing can disturb her.
But what is the situation with her now?
Xi Xi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Wang Mengqian in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wang Mengqian was helpless: "I said, let you take the lyrics on my table, come and try the music, no problem, let's go to the recording studio to try." ”
"Oh, okay, that's it, right?"
Xi Xi hurriedly turned around and picked up a page of lyrics on the table, and was about to walk towards Wang Mengqian in a hurry.
She was just distracted and was caught by Wang Mengqian, and she was already in turmoil, but now she is even more panicked, for fear that Wang Mengqian will lose her temper with her.
Although Xi Xi has never seen him angry because of something since he studied music with Wang Mengqian, he has always given people the impression that he has a very gentle temper, but he just looks more stern.
But Xi Xi couldn't be sure if he would get angry because she didn't care about studying.
The distraught Xi Xi walked quickly in the direction of Wang Mengqian with the lyrics on the page, not noticing the equipment cable connecting the computer and the small speaker on the floor under his feet.
Wang Mengqian's instinctive reaction was to reach out to support Xi Xi, but he didn't want to be hit by Xi Xi, and the two fell to the ground together.
Xi Xi's whole body was pressed on Wang Mengqian's body, and the lyrics in his hand didn't know where to fly for a long time, if he hadn't heard Wang Mengqian's screams of pain falling to the ground, Xi Xi hadn't reacted to what was happening.
There was a sudden mess in his mind, Xi Xi's face turned red, he hurriedly got up, and took a step back a little awkwardly.
"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I ...... I didn't mean to, are you okay?"
Xi Xi was so nervous that he stammered when he spoke, and his heart was beating restlessly.
At that moment, the distance between her and him was so close, so close that she could smell the faint fragrance of his body, so close that she could feel his gentle breathing, his sonorous heartbeat......
Thinking of this, Xi Xi's face turned even redder, all the way to the root of his ears.
She didn't dare to look at Wang Mengqian again, trying to stabilize her breathing, steady her heartbeat, and looked away a little weakly.
Wang Mengqian made a meat pad for Xi Xi for no reason, although there was no major injury on his body, but his arm still broke a piece of skin.
He stood up and said helplessly, "It's okay, it's just that my arm has scratched a little skin, and I'll just apply some potion myself when I go back." I said what the hell is going on with you today? You are so absent-minded that you can fall down even in my studio, it's not me who says you, you ...... What are you blushing for?"
Wang Mengqian looked for the medicine box in the studio and turned his head to look at the silent Xi Xi.
When he saw Xi Xi blushing and lowering his head, Wang Mengqian was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that Xi Xi can't stand up to criticism like this?
was asked so directly by Wang Mengqian, Xi Xi only felt that his cheeks were hot, and his voice was very soft: "I...... I didn't blush or anything......"
As soon as she was so vague, Wang Mengqian understood something.
The studio fell silent for a moment, the air seemed to be full of sweet, greasy smells, and Wang Mengqian's heartbeat unconsciously missed a beat.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Xi Xi spoke again: "Today I didn't adjust my state, it's all my fault, I won't do this again." Let's try out the music now, and then let's go to the studio to audition. ”
"Okay, come over here. ”
Wang Mengqian didn't want to say anything more, so he followed Xi Xi's words and immediately threw himself into work.
The warm sunlight refracted through the floor-to-ceiling windows to the two people who were sitting side by side in front of the computer and listening to the music, wrapping the two in a honey-like happy color, so that neither of them dared to raise their eyes to look at each other's faces.
As everyone knows, the two hearts are slowly getting closer and closer......
