Lingzi is not too cold today

101 kiss

"Now is the real interview, show your best form."

Gongsun Jin looked at Zhong Lingzi and said softly.

"Ah."

Zhong Lingzi took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Yana, countless images flashed in his mind.

The back of Dad dragging the suitcase on the train, handing her 200 yuan.

In front of everyone, grandma made malicious speculations and accusations against her.

The mother's grace and luxury and timidity and weakness make the mother and daughter feel like strangers.

The side face of the grandmother with a horseshoe cut, lying weak on the hospital bed.

The accusations from the uncles, the hope in the eyes of the younger sister...

Everything she has experienced has become the reason why she must stand here.

As for which song to sing, Zhong Lingzi didn't think about it.

But the moment she opened her mouth, she almost sang out of some kind of instinct.

"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other."

"Honghong is still you, giving me the sunshine in my heart."

There is not much reason, just because Gongsun Jin sang this song with her in that bar.

Zhong Lingzi sang softly, her eyes lost focus, as if she had returned to the bustling street.

In a bar filled with the smell of alcohol and perfume, the spotlight shines on the stage.

She hugged the guitar and sang softly.

No one in the audience cheered, no one applauded.

Only one boy stood quietly in the crowd, watching her.

That was her only audience.

She sang this song every day, just to sing it to him.

"It's not as beautiful as tonight, and it must not make me appreciate it more, because I don't know when I will sing with you again."

Zhang Yana listened quietly, her face remained expressionless, she never spoke, nor did she call to stop.

It wasn't until Zhong Lingzi finished singing the song that she stopped to look at her.

Seeing that there was no fluctuation on Zhang Yana's face, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After a long time, Zhang Yana looked at Gongsun Jin, then at Zhong Lingzi, and finally said, "I've heard him sing this song hundreds of times in the recording studio, and I really don't want to listen to it anymore."

When Zhong Lingzi heard this, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a hand.

Gongsun Jin and Shi Qing looked at each other, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"However, you can sing well."

Zhang Yana nodded slightly.

"Whoo~"

Gongsun Jin and Zhong Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhong Lingzi was even more delighted.

"Don't be too happy, before practicing singing, there are some things that need to be discussed first."

"Please speak."

"I'm very strict, you can ask Xiaojin."

"For a song, you have to be prepared to record it for ten days, half a month, or even a few months."

Zhang Yana said very seriously.

When Zhong Lingzi heard this, the smile on his face subsided slightly, and he turned to look at Gongsun Jin.

"I'm often scolded for having to record a song many times."

"No matter what Aunt Zhang says later, don't lose your confidence."

Gongsun Jin encouraged with a smile.

Zhong Lingzi nodded firmly, but she was still uneasy.

"When recording a song, if I tell you to stop, stop, and if I tell you to start over, start over."

"Do as I tell you, and don't ask why."

"I'm going to be very direct and hard to listen to."

"You can accept it, start recording now."

"If you can't accept it, just say it straight, and I will leave immediately."

"clear?"

Zhang Yana's tone was very calm, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression, making it impossible to question her authority.

"clear."

Zhong Lingzi nodded repeatedly.

"start!"

Hearing Zhang Yana's signal, Zhong Lingzi moistened his throat, adjusted his breath, and began to sing.

"I still remember the number of the hotel that day."

"Tune up, start over."

Zhong Lingzi looked at Gongsun Jin, saw him smiling slightly, and started singing from the beginning with his usual expression.

"One degree lower."

"I still remember the number plate of the hotel that day, and I still have the demeanor of leaving with a smile..."

"Too low again this time, a little higher."

It was only then that Zhong Lingzi realized how tricky Zhang Yana's ears were.

There are rumors in the circle that Zhang Yana's standards are extremely strict, and today she has personally experienced it.

But she always kept in mind what Gongsun Jin and Zhang Yana had said to her.

No matter what Zhang Yana said, she would do it.

After repeating it a dozen times in a row, Zhong Lingzi felt a little depressed.

Just like what Gongsun Jin experienced before.

Obviously, she felt that she sang well, not bad, but Zhang Yana just picked out the flaws.

In addition, Zhang Yana was also very venomous, and her speech was extremely unpleasant, which hit her hard.

However, not long after the number of repetitions, Zhong Lingzi found her form and sang better and better.

From daytime to evening, I have never heard the singing and scolding in the recording studio.

"Do you want to take a break? Or continue recording?"

Zhang Yana looked at the time on the watch, her throat was also a little dry.

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat first."

Zhong Lingzi patted his stomach and said weakly.

"Okay, let's go eat."

After getting the answer, Zhong Lingzi heaved a sigh of relief, and left the recording studio with Gongsun Jin.

"Ah! Is it dark outside?"

Seeing the diffuse night outside the window and the illuminated panes in the office building, Zhong Lingzi was a little surprised.

"Well, when you focus on singing, you forget the time."

Gongsun Jin smiled slightly.

"Aunt Zhang is so strict. I dare not breathe in front of her."

Zhong Lingzi patted his chest, feeling lingering in fear.

"She is very strict, but in private, she is very approachable."

Gongsun Jin remembered that Zhang Yana liked children very much.

When visiting Shi Qing's house, I especially like to play with Zhuang Xiaoyu.

"Then what do you think of my singing? Is it really bad?"

"Not bad, you sing very well."

"I recorded the song Qianqianyu for a week, but she scolded me every day."

"Aunt Qing was often scolded when she recorded Song of the Sunset."

"Really? Even Shi Qing is often scolded?"

Zhong Lingzi's eyes widened when he heard this, he was very surprised.

"Of course it's true, I was watching from the side."

Gongsun Jin spoke seriously.

"Hey, Shi Qing is often scolded, and I am often scolded too."

"Shi Qing is the queen of heaven, so I am equal to the queen of heaven."

Zhong Lingzi laughed and felt that his mind was much more balanced.

She didn't suppress her voice just now, some trainees in the company heard it, looked over, and whispered: "Who is she?"

"So arrogant?"

"It's really shameless to say that you dare to compare yourself with Senior Shi Qing."

Many of the trainees have been favored by Shi Qing and are her little fans.

When Zhong Lingzi said this, he made everyone angry.

Seeing those unkind eyes, Zhong Lingzi blushed slightly, covered her face quickly, and hid behind Gongsun Jin.

"Why are you shy? In the future, you may be the queen of the new generation."

Gongsun Jin said with a smile.

"It's better to talk about it in private."

Zhong Lingzi stuck out her tongue playfully.

After coming to the company today, she talked a lot more, and she also laughed a lot.

After arriving downstairs, the two chatted and discussed what to eat.

Gongsun Jin has serious difficulty in choosing, thinking about this kind of problem is naturally fruitless.

Zhong Lingzi went to Lawson's store, bought two boxes of bento, and gave him one.

"Do you like the Sichuan-style tofu and pork rice bowl in Lawson's so much?"

Gongsun Jin sat on the bench, a little puzzled.

"Well, I think it's really delicious."

Zhong Lingzi mixed the tofu and rice, and began to eat it, his mouth was full of sauce stains.

Later, one day, she really became a queen and ate a lot of expensive delicacies.

On a whim, she and Gongsun Jin ate a rice bowl with Sichuan-style tofu slices like today, but it didn't taste good at all.

She asked Gongsun Jin: "Why is it not the same taste as before? I don't think it tastes as good as before."

Gongsun Jin told her: "The taste of this bento has never changed."

"You think it's not tasty, and that's a good thing.

"Because you're happier than before."

Zhong Lingzi was not happy, and still wanted to get back the taste of the bento from before.

Gongsun Jin had no choice but to cook for her to make mapo tofu.

Then mapo tofu became her favorite dish.

With rice, you can eat several bowls in one meal.

"What do you think of that girl?"

Zhang Yana looked at Shi Qing.

"It's a rare good seedling, very talented."

"My little Jin really has vision."

Shi Qing nodded very satisfied, but at the same time she was a little worried.

"What? Something on your mind?"

"Well, I'm worried about that girl Xiaomeng."

Shi Qing rested her chin, feeling quite worried.

"Young people, let them decide for themselves. What are you worrying about?"

Zhang Yana smiled.

After a while, Gongsun Jin and Zhong Lingzi walked in talking and laughing.

Zhong Lingzi seemed full of energy and full of confidence.

"Aunt Zhang, let's continue."

"Would you like to continue singing?"

"Well, I feel that the next pass can be recorded well."

There was a smile on Zhong Lingzi's face.

She didn't know why, she just believed so deeply.

"So confident."

Zhang Yana was taken aback for a moment, seeing from her face the calmness and confidence that Shi Qing had in those days.

Zhong Lingzi smiled happily, closed her eyes slightly, inhaled the air into her lung cavity, and began to sing lightly.

"I still remember the number plate of the hotel that day, and I still have the demeanor of leaving with a smile."

"The whole city was so brisk that day, walking along the road for half a mile."

On a rainy night, a deserted street.

She had a room with a boy for the first time and had a very special night.

The boy was clean and never touched her from beginning to end.

He ironed her clothes, bought her food, fed her a spoonful of loquat paste, patted her on the back, and lulled her to sleep.

The house number of that room was 307, and she had to memorize the number for many years.

When they left, both of them were smiling.

When we walked through the half-mile-long street together, it felt like the wind was blowing under our feet, so brisk.

Zhang Yana and Shi Qing waited with bated breath, and no one disturbed them.

They all clearly felt that Zhong Lingzi's state had changed.

A very subtle change is emotional.

"I still remember the street lamps shining yellow on my face, and lighting up that lukewarm bento."

"The outline of you in silhouette is so beautiful, I dare not look at it until I hold back my tears."

When this line was sung, two tears flowed from the corners of Zhong Lingzi's eyes.

That night, when she suddenly looked back, she saw Gongsun Jin standing in the wind.

The street lamps illuminated his face in a warm yellow, and the profile of that profile was simply unbelievably beautiful.

He said, I bought you a pizza.

These words actually brought tears to her eyes.

"Forget about the world, as if I can't think of myself, and I still haven't forgotten to meet and see the yellow leaves flying far away in the sky."

"Even if I will be separated from you, the desolate scene, if you are determined to forget, I will not be able to remember."

"Tomorrow, Tiandi, I'm afraid I won't recognize myself, and I still haven't forgotten to make an agreement with you if I don't die."

"Even if you have a big chest, no match for the weather, and gray temples, you can be recognized."

Zhong Lingzi sang with forgetfulness.

The scenes that I experienced with Gongsun Jin played repeatedly in my mind, like a slideshow.

My mother's experience of being a junior was exposed, she was abused in the cafeteria, and there were questioning eyes everywhere.

It was he who stood up, took her hand and left.

When she was eager to try and jump off the edge of her balcony.

He appeared again, shouting "Don't jump, I need you", and dragged her off the edge of the roof.

When the learning bicycle fell repeatedly, it was he who stood behind and helped her move forward.

When her leg was injured and it was difficult to move, he was the one who carried her up and down the stairs.

When he was a resident singer in a bar, he was by her side and sang with her.

When she was exhausted, lost hope in life, and thought of committing suicide again.

It was Gongsun Jin who drove her on a bicycle and met to see the maple leaves in autumn.

When his sister's medicine was lost, he braved the torrential rain and searched for it with her for nine hours.

She asked him, why always you? Pulled me back from the edge of the cliff again and again.

He said, I am your angel.

"I still remember the chords of the guitar that day, and I also understand the lines of each melody."

"Your voice flowed through the street corner that day, and the journey along the road faded like a song."

The fireworks in the night rush towards the lonely world.

He looked at the city under the night sky and said to her.

"Lingzi, I wrote a song for you."

She ate her favorite pizza, watched him pick up the guitar, and started singing lightly on the street.

Every line of the lyrics seems to record the past story of the two.

"Tomorrow, Tiandi, I'm afraid I won't recognize myself, and I still haven't forgotten to make an agreement with you if I don't die."

"Even if you have a big chest, no match for the weather, and gray temples, I can recognize you."

When the last note fell, Zhong Lingzi opened his eyes, his cheeks were moist.

Gongsun Jin handed over a tissue.

She reached out to take it, and smiled.

"How about it?"

"There is no need to record this song anymore."

"Maybe there are still flaws, but what you sang just now is the best."

Zhang Yana looked at her, both relieved and curious.

Curious about what kind of past she has.

"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead."

Shi Qing sighed, feeling a lot.

It took her only one day to record the song with Zhang Yana.

This result is much better than Shi Qing's back then.

Hearing the comments from the two of them, Zhong Lingzi was so happy that he jumped up and down, tugging at Gongsun Jin's arm, very excited.

"Aren't you born in a major?"

Zhang Yana looked at Zhong Lingzi and asked softly.

"No, my mother teaches vocal music, and I learned from her when I was a child. Later, I explored it myself."

Zhong Lingzi answered truthfully.

"The foundation is not bad, and the voice is also good. But there is a lack of systematic training."

"Well, you follow me. I will spend two hours a day alone teaching you music theory. The singing method is unscientific, and even the best voice will be wasted."

"Your vocal cords, pronunciation and breath, all need professional conditioning."

Zhang Yana said very seriously.

"Lingzi, Aunt Zhang wants to take you in as a student. I haven't met the teacher yet!"

When Gongsun Jin heard this, while he was surprised, he was also happy for Zhong Lingzi from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you! Thank you teacher!"

Zhong Lingzi was overjoyed, and bowed respectfully while expressing his thanks.

This is Zhang Yana, alas, Tianhou Shiqing's guide, and now she is going to accept her as a student!
No matter how you put it, they were all so happy that it was unreal.

Shi Qing was also very surprised when she heard this.

Except for Gongsun Jin, Zhang Yana never offered to accept anyone as a student.

"Do you smoke?"

Zhang Yana continued to ask.

"Uh... pumping."

Zhong Lingzi touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Quit, it's for your future career."

Zhang Yana frowned slightly, speaking very seriously.

"okay!"

Zhong Lingzi nodded, his eyes determined.

That night, on the way home.

Zhong Lingzi and Gongsun Jin walked together.

"I really didn't expect it. I could meet so many big-name celebrities who can only be seen on TV."

"Even the Queen of Heaven, Shi Qing, came to listen to my singing in person."

"How do I feel, I'm so awesome!"

Holding her face in her hands, Lingzi couldn't help but smirked.

"Yes, yes, it's really awesome."

Gongsun Jin nodded repeatedly, looking at her silly look, she wanted to laugh.

"Hee hee, Zhang Yana actually became my teacher. Teacher!"

"She is Shi Qing's bole!"

"When I think about it this way, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"It's so unreal."

"Someone like me can release records and be on TV in the future."

"Many people in Penguin Music will listen to my songs and leave comments."

"Then I'll get rich and make a lot of money."

"My sister's illness can be cured. Our family can live a good life and don't have to worry about money anymore."

The more Zhong Lingzi spoke, the more excited she became, and there was a crystal gleam in her eyes.

She looked at Gongsun Jin beside her, and couldn't bear the excitement in her heart, so she threw her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, Gongsun Jin."

The streets are full of traffic, and the world is teetering in neon lights.

She stood in the wind and kissed him.
