Chapter 39: The Singer's Road Is Blocked
When Pei Lingxi returned home, he saw that his mother had taken off her heavy makeup, wore plain clothes, and sat on the sofa at home watching TV.
When his mother saw him return, she got up and walked over to him and took off her bag.
"Why did you rehearse so late? Have you eaten? If not, I'll go to the kitchen and make some for you. ”
"No, Mom, I've eaten it." Pei Lingxi was about to go up the stairs, but stopped and turned to face his mother.
"Mom, I have something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
Pei Lingxi held the handrail of the stairs a little nervously, looked at his mother with a firm look in his eyes and said, "I want to learn to sing!" ”
Mother Wei looked at his determined eyes, not like he was joking, but she still sighed when she thought that her father would not let him touch these things.
"You know, your father wouldn't agree to give you a vocal teacher."
"I know, but aren't you learning to sing? You can teach me! ”
Wei Mu looked into his eyes again, repeatedly confirming that this was not a whim.
"If you let your dad know......"
"No, it won't."
Pei Lingxi immediately interrupted his mother's concerns and said seriously: "You can teach me when I am learning violin, or you can teach me when I practice the piano, Dad will never know." ”
"Shhhh
Wei Mu heard his increasingly excited voice, and hurriedly put her fingers to her mouth and motioned for him to lower her voice.
"Your dad is reading in the study and letting him hear it, and you won't even have the opportunity to learn music in the future."
Only then did Pei Lingxi realize that he was indeed in too much of a hurry just now, and unconsciously raised his voice, so he whispered:
"So what do you mean, you're willing to teach me to sing?"
Mother Wei looked at his expectant eyes, so she had to soften her heart and compromised: "Yes, you can, but I will only teach you on weekends when your father is not at home." ”
"Uh-huh."
Pei Lingxi immediately walked down the stairs, hugged his mother, and said excitedly: "As long as you are willing to teach me to sing!" ”
Since then, Pei Lingxi has played the role of a good son of an excellent three-good student in front of his father, and his father is very relieved of him, and when he heard his proposal to learn to play the piano more on weekends, he felt that the child had grown up and sensible, so he relaxed a lot about him, and he did not often take care of his son at home on weekends.
On the other hand, what Pei Lingxi is looking forward to the most is the piano lesson every weekend morning, he has actually learned all the lessons of playing the piano long ago, and the teacher will guide him to some out-of-tune places next to him, and he will practice a tune every time according to the song his mother wants to teach him.
After all, he is Wei Ru's son, how to say that he has inherited his mother's strengths, Pei Lingxi also has a natural good voice, which when he was humming pop songs at will since he was a child, his mother found out that she chose lyrical and melancholy songs suitable for him according to her son's voice to teach him, and every summer vacation, Wei's mother would take Pei Lingxi to many star concerts on the grounds of taking her son to see art exhibitions.
Gradually, Pei Lingxi's singing ability gradually improved, and whenever he saw singers on the stage who were in the spotlight, he was very envious that they could pursue their dreams, so he looked forward to the career of a singer even more.
Until the end of the first semester of the first semester of high school, when the school was about to divide the arts and sciences, Pei Lingxi returned home with the form, and his parents were sitting at the dining table waiting for him to eat together.
He sat down in his chair and placed the form on the table.
Father Pei looked at the blank form and asked him, "Didn't you choose science?" Why haven't you filled it out yet? ”
Pei Lingxi said to his father with some hesitation: "I ...... in my heart I have other ideas, so I'm struggling. ”
"Do you still want to choose liberal arts? What is the future of boys choosing liberal arts! "Father Pei doesn't understand what this kid is struggling with.
"I'm not struggling with liberal arts."
"What's that? Don't tell me you're going to report other. Father Pei already sensed that Pei Lingxi would say something he didn't want to hear.
Pei Lingxi didn't know how to tell his father, after all, it would go against his father's desire to train him to become the heir of the family, he looked at his mother and wanted to seek her opinion, but Pei's mother just shook her head worriedly and signaled him not to do it.
Pei Lingxi didn't dare to say it in the end, he said in disappointment: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about it...... After studying science, it is better to apply for a major in college. ”
Father Pei's frowning brows relaxed, and said to him: "When you are admitted to 985 University, we will plan the professional direction, anyway, it must be related to the company, you don't have to think about this, eat first." ”
"Oh."
The three of them had dinner in silence, and after his father returned to the study, Pei Lingxi came to the kitchen to ask his mother who was washing dishes.
"Mom, why don't you let me tell my dad that I want to enroll in a music and art class?"
"If I had known that you would make singing a career in the future, I would not have taught you." Wei Mu didn't look at him, but continued to wash the dishes in her hands.
"Why? Just because you gave up being a singer for the sake of your father, do you think I will do the same? Or do you think I won't be a good singer? Pei Lingxi really firmly believed that he would not be shaken by anything to sing.
His mother sighed and said to him, "The path of a singer is too difficult, otherwise why do you think I would marry your father because he can give me a stable life." ”
"Then why do you still sing at the Wine Music Restaurant?"
Wei Mu didn't expect him to know the name of the restaurant, so she stopped washing the dishes in her hand and looked at him in surprise.
"How do you know it's wine?"
"Because I secretly went to see it! I saw you standing on the stage singing, and you obviously still love singing. You can choose to continue to be a singer, why can't I? Pei Lingxi was a little impatient, he wanted his mother's support too much.
But Wei Mu shook her head and denied him:
"It's different, you are the only child in our family, and the future heir of your father's company, he has spent so many years cultivating you, not to make you an entertainment star."
Actually, there's nothing she can do......
"Don't you think that's too unfair? I have lived according to the life that my father has planned for me since I was born, and I have never been asked for my opinion, and I don't even have the right to choose my own future now? ”
Pei Lingxi felt that this kind of life was not what he wanted.
"Lingxi! Everyone comes to this world with his due mission, the moment I conceive you, your life must be born with a golden spoon, my father provides you with a beautiful family, so that your life will be less detours, this is what you should repay him. ”
"Really...... Is there no other way? ”
Pei Lingxi looked at her mother with a little choked up and said, "I really ...... I love singing. ”
Wei Mu gently hugged him and soothed his emotions.
"Lingxi, don't let me blame myself, okay...... There will still be many opportunities in the future, and when you are admitted to university, there will be many music clubs, and there will be many singing competitions, and you will also have the opportunity to stand on the stage, right? Isn't it good for you to think of it as a hobby? Don't let the singing ...... Be all yours! ”
Pei Lingxi couldn't resist his mother's will, and finally compromised.
