Chapter 79: The City
One more
Ruan Wan looked at the young man who was not far away, it was Yan Mingxiu.
It's also strange to say, the last time we met, she was still a little depressed because of his appearance, and now it's only been three years since I saw him, and when I saw him again, I actually felt that the person in front of me was very strange.
This strangeness is not about appearance, but about ......
How to say that?
Ah, it's probably the feeling of "this person has nothing to do with her, no matter what".
While realizing this, Ruan Wan suddenly noticed another thing - one of the heavy rope loops that was originally on her body had completely broken and scattered into ashes before she knew it.
Or maybe there was more than one, but she hadn't noticed it all along.
She subconsciously showed a relieved smile, and it seemed that she was really radiant. Her smile came from instinct, but in the eyes of those who didn't know her inner thoughts, it was a little strange.
"Brother Yan, you're back. β
The most attentive of the few people was Zhuang Luo, who greeted him early.
Yan Mingxiu smiled at her, his eyes quickly fell on Qiao Xinyuan's body, and said kindly: "Xinyuan, have you waited for a long time?" After the latter shook his head, he explained, "The apple juice you want is out of stock in several stores." β
"Huh, is it?" replied Joe, wishingly, "it's okay, I can drink anything." β
Yan Mingxiu took out a bottle of apple juice from the plastic bag and handed it over: "Huh." β
Qiao took it and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say that it was out of stock?"
"So Brother Yan, you went to many houses to buy it?" Zhuang Luo said suddenly, "No wonder you went for so long." Wow, Brother Yan, it's so good that you have a wish. β
Yan Mingxiu didn't say anything with a smile, didn't answer, just took out another bottle of drink from the plastic bag and handed it to her. During the movements, the eyes of the two met inconspicuously for a moment.
Ruan Wan pursed her lower lip, thoughtful.
At this moment, Yan Mingxiu also paid attention to her and Qi Xuan, and his attitude was very good, and he took out the drinks he bought for them. They all said that "reach out and don't hit smiling people", he is so "good", Qi Xuan and Ruan Wan naturally can't be too rude.
However, neither of them drank the drink with it.
Qi Xuan had already developed the habit of not drinking what strangers gave, while Ruan Wan simply didn't want to drink what Yan Mingxiu gave herself.
After a few words of dialogue, Ruan Wan asked casually, "I wish you came over to hide it from your brother?" She could see that Qiao Xinyuan's attitude towards Yan Mingxiu was not very kind, and it was even inferior to Zhuang Luo's treatment of Yan Mingxiu, so she really couldn't think of any reason that would make her abandon Qiao Yi and choose to drive more.
"No, I don't. Joe replied, "I told my brother that he wanted to give me away, but he didn't have time." β
Ruan Wan nodded knowingly: "So you asked Senior Brother Yan to send you?"
In the greetings just now, Yan Mingxiu smiled and said that he used to study at the university where Ruan Wan is studying now, so it is good to call him "senior brother". That's what Joe called him - after firmly believing that he would definitely be able to go to the same university as Ruan Wan.
"Nope. Qiao waved his hand wishfully, "We met Senior Brother Yan on the way here, what a coincidence." β
"Oh, that's a coincidence. Ruan Wan nodded, and replied with a natural expression, but she was secretly attentive in her heart.
A few people chatted for a while, and soon it was Zhuang Luo's turn - there were almost no spectators at the audition site, and even if there were, it was the players' own family members, so everyone present could watch it at will, and there were no questions such as any tickets.
In the following time, Zhuang Luo did not speak again, and seemed to have been adjusting himself.
Until her number was called.
Ruan Wan watched from afar as the girl ran to the center of the stage, and as soon as she went up, she bowed to several judges and teachers, and shouted sweetly: "Hello teachers, thank you for giving me this opportunity." β
It's a pity that if she is at the top, it is estimated that there will be people who respond to her. But now...... After a morning of devastation (don't doubt it, most people sing just averagely, and a few of them are purely here to play tickets!), they are tired from body to heart, and naturally they are not in the mood to tease the little girl.
Therefore, all Zhuang Luo got was a casual wave of his hand from a male judge in the middle: "Let's start introducing myself." β
ββ¦β¦ My name is Zhuang Luo, and everyone can also call me 'Luo Luo'. After a short pause, Zhuang Luo quickly recovered and began to introduce himself. It can be seen that she should have practiced many times in private, and this introduction is cute and cute, like a sweet fruit candy.
It's a pity that the teachers have "eaten a bunch of very flavorful meals" in the morning, and now they just want to drink saliva, and they have no love for sugar or anything!
Well, to put it simply, Zhuang Luo's flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man.
After a short, awkward silence, the female judge on the right said, "Let's start singing." β
ββ¦β¦ All right. β
The auditions are all cappella, of course, you can also choose to bring your own instrument to accompany yourself, which is allowed.
Zhuang Luo didn't bring musical instruments, so like most of the contestants, she chose a cappella, and she chose a song that has been very popular in recent years. Singing this song is a group of girls, the lyrics of the song have no connotation, and the tune is very cute, which is very in line with the feeling that Zhuang Luo gives people. And her voice is really good, not only speaking, but also singing gives people a sweet feeling.
She sang and danced on stage, and two minutes passed quickly.
She stopped very punctually, gasped and bowed again: "Thank you judges for giving me the opportunity to finish singing this song." β
Well, if the song is really ugly, the judges can directly interrupt the pass.
The three judges looked at each other.
The male judge in the middle was the first to pick up a sign with a checkpoint: "I think it's okay." "To be honest, this girl's singing is just average, she has no skills, no feelings, and she sounds beautiful but not patient. However, they don't all take into account the voice, and sometimes they also take into account some other factors. For example, "a player with a rough appearance but a soft voice", "a player with a sweet and lovely appearance", and "a player with a handsome appearance"...... Sometimes, the sincerity that goes to the end is not necessarily the best singing.
Therefore, the first policy of their selection is to be topical.
He thinks this girl has some potential, beautiful, sweet, cute, and cute...... can attract some male viewers who like this set very much, which is why he let her pass.
Zhuang Luo clenched his fists and made a cute pose: "yes!"
The female judge on the right made the opposite decision: "I'm sorry. "Women hate another woman, and sometimes they don't need a reason at all.
Zhuang Luo immediately looked at the last judge, his eyes full of pleading.
The last male judge thought about it, and finally held up the checkmark representing Tong GuΓ² - he had the same idea as the male judge in the middle.
In the end, Zhuang Luo successfully passed the audition, which meant that she was able to advance to the next round of the audition.
After receiving the "admission ticket", she rushed off the stage and ran all the way in the direction where several people were.
"I'm clear!" she said excitedly, holding up the piece of paper in her hand.
"Congratulations!" Joe wished to be the first to congratulate.
The rest of the people did the same.
Zhuang Luo stretched out his hand and patted his chest, took a deep breath, and said to Qi Xuan with a smile: "You don't have to be too nervous, just like I did just now." β
The little girl's disguise skills are not high, and most of the people present can see that she is not very optimistic about Qi Xuan.
"Don't worry, just say this to you, I'm done today!" Qi Xuan replied energetically.
Zhuang Luo: "...... Hehe, come on. "Other than that, she can say yes.
Ruan Wan turned her head away, suppressed the urge to laugh, and tried to smooth the corners of her lips, thinking to herself that this idiot is really too good at responding to people sometimes, but ...... Well done!
However, Qi Xuan was indeed not nervous, and even ran to the toilet leisurely halfway, and played with a child riding a car in the square for a while. So, when he came on the court, he automatically had an "off-site audience".
"Come on, brother, buy me ice cream to eat if you win!" The little boy riding in the car cheered Qi Xuan, and the middle-aged woman standing behind him couldn't help laughing.
"That's a must. Qi Xuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the little boy's head, "You have three minutes to think about what ice cream to eat." β
The little boy then frowned and meditated.
Qi Xuan walked to the stage with the guitar on his back, walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, took off the bag on his body and smashed it at Ruan Wan: "Help me take a look." β
Ruan Wan stretched out her hands to catch the bag, only to feel that her hands sank, and the whole person almost "grabbed the ground with her head". She struggled to hold the bag in her arms, wondering what the hell this silly boy had put in it, how could it be so heavy.
It turned out that Qi Xuan, who specially invited Ruan Wan to come, really got a luck bonus - he was the last one in the morning.
Probably aware of this, the expressions of the three judges seemed to be quite relaxed.
After Qi Xuan came to the stage with his guitar, the first thing he said was: "Hello judges, although I know that you want to go to lunch, but I'm sorry, I'll still try to hold on for three minutes!"
When Ruan Wan heard this, she was speechless, thinking that this guy really exudes a funny atmosphere anytime and anywhere.
After several judges and teachers were stunned, they all showed "a little interesting" expressions.
It's really "opposites attract", the female judge who has been smiling just now actually smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether you sing well enough." β
"That must be enough!" Qi Xuan gave a thumbs up, "I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Qi Xuan, eighteen and one flowers this year, and the people in the rivers and lakes call me 'Liu Tianwang of the Mainland', by the way, this is not because I sing well, but because I am handsome enough." β
"Poof!" the female judge squirted again.
"Ahem, the young man doesn't know how to be modest. β
"'Liu Tianwang in the mainland', I'm also 'Brother Pheasant in the audition'. β
The two male judges complained one after another.
However, I have to say that Qi Xuan really succeeded in arousing the interest of these three people who can be said to "decide his fate".
Two more
After a conversation that could be said to have a good atmosphere, the judges and teachers were in a good mood and said to Qi Xuan, "You can sing."
"Okay!" Qi Xuan said as he plucked the strings of the guitar and tried the sound.
The three judges glanced at each other, and they all felt that this kid on the stage was quite good at things, but it was not annoying, or in a sense, it was still very suitable. Therefore, as long as he is not very young in singing, they can also wave his hand to make him smooth lì tong guò. Anyway, there are still a few events in the future, as the so-called "gold rush in the sea", those who can be saved to the end can naturally stay, and those who can't will be eliminated sooner or later.
However, to their surprise......
When the familiar song sounded, Ruan Wan was also stunned, for no other reason, Qi Xuan sang the song "Small Town Girl" that he had tasted here three years ago. Singing the same song in the same place and the same person, she was naturally impressed. And, even though she didn't do much research on it, she felt that he sang better than the previous one.
"Sister, Xiao Lu seems to sing better than the previous time, what do you think?"
"Hmm. β
Ruan Wan looked at Qi Xuan on the stage, and suddenly felt that this tease was a little strange, or rather, it was because he already had a little aura on his body. When it grows to a certain extent, it will probably really become dazzling...... Well, it's dazzling to the point of blinding people's eyes.
She suddenly wondered - could he make it this far?
Different from her and Qiao's mood, Zhuang Luo's face was a little worse, she thought it was impossible for him to understand it just now, but the current reality undoubtedly hurt her face. Not to mention, the person who said he couldn't sing was himself! In other words, she was tricked!
And Yan Mingxiu, who had nothing to do with Qi Xuan, looked calm-he had always been too lazy to pay too much attention to people who couldn't bring benefits.
Two minutes is a flash.
Qu Bad.
Qi Xuan raised his head and smiled at the three judges, his eight teeth flashing white.
"How's that? Sounds good, right?"
Ruan Wan couldn't bear to look away, thinking that the little fresh aura he had created just now was really ruined by this smile.
This is indeed the case, and the three judges, who were originally still showing thoughtful expressions, immediately turned into laughter and tears when they heard his words.
The female judge asked, "You are singing "Small Town Girl", right? This is an old song, and very few young people can sing it now, and some young people have never even heard it, so why would you want to sing it?"
"It's a coincidence. Qi Xuan replied seriously, "Actually, I organized a group here three years ago to sell art!"
"......" the female judge almost didn't squirt, "Performing?"
"Yes!" Qi Xuan roughly said what happened three years ago, and summed up his statement, "That's it, not only did I not wait for the scouts I dreamed of meeting, but I was also grabbed and beaten by my father when I got home, and my legs hurt when I walked for half a month." β
"......" support.
"It was a very special experience, and I think I'll never forget it for the rest of my life. One of the most memorable things for me was when the owner of a certain store asked us to sing a song on stage with the help of a good friend, and that was the first time I sang on stage! Speaking of this, Qi Xuan's face showed a nostalgic expression, "I didn't sing very well at the time, but it was also the first and last time that our little band performed on stage." When I got to high school, we disbanded, and now I'm the only one on this path. I came to this show partly to fulfill my dreams, and partly to tell them - I've been working hard to connect with them, just as I had promised. β
The female judge was stunned, she really didn't expect this child who couldn't help but want to laugh when she looked at it could say such a thing. Whether his words are true or made up, they are at least somewhat touching. Again, whether it's true or not, it can only show that he has a lot of "talent in this area".
The male judge sitting in the center nodded: "Very good wish, I hope you can make it happen." β
Qi Xuan showed his white teeth again: "Then it depends on whether you give me a chance." β
Judges: "......" stupid boy, what nonsense is telling the truth!
The three judges glanced at each other, and their eyes were all amused.
"I let him pass. The female judges were the first to speak.
"Me too. β
"I'm here to put the icing on the cake. β
After the three reached a consensus, the female judge smiled and said, "Congratulations, young man, you have successfully obtained the ticket to the next level!
In fact, the consensus reached by the three of them is that in addition to this, there is also the possibility of recommending the young people in front of them as "focus on them". He's already given them a nice surprise, so they hope he can continue to give others some nice surprises.
"Thank you, judges!"
After Qi Xuan received the admission ticket, he jumped back to a few people.
"I've got it, I've got it!"
Ruan Wan looked at the guy who was jumping up and down in circles with a guitar, and a black line appeared on her head: "You're enough!" After speaking, she smashed the bag in her hand on him, "Take it yourself, it's dead." β
"Hey, hey, hey!" Qi Xuan picked up the admission ticket and took a heavy sip, carefully stuffed it into his bag, it was called a beauty! Then he began to squat down and smirk at the little boy who clapped his hands again and again, with a big look of "Little brother, you are very eye-catching, big brother, I will cover you".
Right now......
"Brother Qi, it's not right to deceive people. Zhuang Luo pouted and said slightly, "You sing very well." β
She was indeed angry at Qi Xuan's deception to herself just now, but at the same time, she was also an extremely realistic girl. In essence, Qi Xuan is indeed her competitor. However, there are more competitors, and she knows that she does not have an advantage in voice, and at the same time, the show "Super Voice" definitely likes this the most. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Qi Xuan, who had advantages in appearance and voice. However, she also felt that if he could be her help, then she could at least go the extra mile.
It's not that the dream of "winning the championship in one fell swoop" has not been done, but she herself knows that it is actually unlikely, unless she is like Qiao Xinyuan, "hands and eyes to the sky", she doesn't need to do anything, just say that someone willingly piles these things in front of her.
She really wanted to be Joe's wish, and she dreamed of it, but it was impossible, so she had to use other ways to achieve her goal.
For example, wooing Qi Xuan.
However......
"Hey, I'm just deliberately humble with you, how can you take it seriously!"
Zhuang Luo: "......"
Ruan Wan tilted her head and secretly thought to herself, "You said that, how do you want people to answer?"
"But don't be sad, if you practice for a few more years, maybe you will sing as well as me, come on, you can!"
ββ¦β¦β
Facts have proved that if a comic wants to be angry, it must be able to anger people.
Seeing that Zhuang Luo was choked and speechless, Yan Mingxiu smiled slightly: "It's noon, in order to celebrate the successful selection of the two contestants, why don't you have a meal together, I'll be the east." β
Hearing this, Ruan Wan narrowed her eyes.
Qi Xuan just shrugged his shoulders indifferently at this mentions, and waved goodbye to the reluctant little boy who was taken away by his mother.
Qiao Xinyuan said with a sad face: "But when I came out, I said that I would go back at noon." "If it's just my sister, Midori and Lolo, she wouldn't mind eating together. It's just that...... My brother kept telling her to let her stay away from the color, and that it wasn't good for her to eat with him?
At this moment, Zhuang Luo grabbed her hand and said coquettishly: "Wish, it's rare for me to pass guΓ², you should accompany me to celebrate!"
"But ......"
"Please!" Zhuang Luo folded his hands and said with a wink, "It's okay to have a meal together, why don't you call back and talk about it?"
Qiao hesitated, but nodded: "Well, okay then." β
"Great!" Zhuang Luo raised his hands with a happy expression. Then he turned to Yan Mingxiu and said, "Brother Yan, thank you for your treat!"
"It should. Yan Mingxiu smiled slightly.
Ruan Wan looked at the two of them thoughtfully, but she didn't hesitate in her hand - she took out her mobile phone and said to Qiao Xinyuan, "I'll help you make a call back?"
"Well, good. β
Ruan Wan smiled, found the phone book and made a call back, but instead of calling Qiao's family, she called Qiao Yi.
After a while, the phone was connected.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaowan?"
Qiao Yi's voice sounded hesitant and surprised, there was no doubt that he really didn't expect Ruan Wan to call him. But what surprised him was still to come.
"Yes, it's me. β
"Wish is with me now, and at noon she wants to have a meal with us. β
"Yes, we have a group of people. β
"No way?"
"Why?"
β¦β¦
Qiao Yi: "......" can be learned from the world, he has only said "Xiaowan" so far, and then he heard her singing a one-man show there alone.
He was speechless, when he heard the little girl on the other side of the phone say in a stern voice-
"Isn't it normal to have a meal out of the house because your wishes are so big-hearted?
Qiao Yi: "......" When did he say such a thing! It's not right to just throw the pot, little girl.
"Forget it, I'll let her tell you personally. β
After speaking, Ruan Wan directly handed the mobile phone to Qiao Xinyuan, and said "angrily": "I really can't communicate with your dead-eyed brother, you can tell him yourself." β
Qiao Yi on the other side of the phone: "...... girl, don't be so loud when you say bad things about people, okay? He can hear it, really......
Joe's wish: What happened to the "......"? Why did my sister quarrel with my brother? They never quarreled! Why did they quarrel in less than a minute! What the hell was going on?
Wrong!
None of this is the point!
The point is!
"Brother, how can you be cruel to your sister! Apologize quickly, otherwise I will ignore you again!" Qiao wished to seek justice for Ruan Wan "violently".
Qiao Yi, who was lying down again: "......" Can he say that he actually didn't do anything?
However, although he was speechless in his heart, he had actually fully comprehended what Ruan Wan wanted to say but didn't say directly. So he said to his sister, "Don't eat out, come home." β
"You apologize first!"
"......" Qiao Yi was also helpless, he deeply doubted what kind of status he had in his sister's heart now, "Then you give the phone to Xiaowan." β
"That's pretty much it. After Qiao Xinyuan muttered, he handed the phone to Ruan Wan, "Sister, my brother wants to apologize to you." β
Ruan Wan took the phone and said calmly, "Let's go." But in my heart, I laughed a lotβanything that could make Da Qiao unhappy could make her happy.
ββ¦β¦β
