Chapter 44 Friendship Up, Lovers Not Yet

Lu Xuan was teaching Su Yao a unique secret technique.

He'd learned it from an old opera singer.

Its primary purpose was to help the voice warm up and recover faster.

After three consecutive days, Su Yao deeply felt the benefits of this method.

Normally, people who practice singing for two hours need to rest for at least thirty minutes to avoid organ damage.

Su Yao didn't need that long; she only needed to rest for ten minutes to continue.

"Wow, Lu Xuan, how do you even know this kind of thing!"

"This way, I'll save so much more time than others."

Su Yao, who was improving rapidly, looked at Lu Xuan as if he were a god.

"It's not that exaggerated; it's just a technique."

Lu Xuan shook his head.

Teaching this technique to a lazy person would be a complete waste.

But with Su Yao, Lu Xuan felt she couldn't be more suitable.

Have you ever seen someone who isn't even a professional singer practice high notes for twelve hours a day?!

After learning the technique Lu Xuan taught her, she even practiced two extra hours every day!

"Fourteen hours, that's too much..."

"Don't you even consider whether your body can handle it?"

Lu Xuan muttered.

He knew before that when Su Yao got serious, she became completely reckless.

This time, practicing singing, he truly felt it.

"This is nothing. I was even more exaggerated when I was filming before!"

Su Yao thought Lu Xuan was concerned about her and smiled at him, narrowing her eyes.

Then she looked out the window at the bright sunshine.

A pair of beautiful eyes flashed with the color of memory, and two small legs dangling by the bed swayed back and forth.

After a long time, she came back to her senses.

Her expression became even more determined: "Besides, I'm someone who started halfway."

"If I don't work hard, how can I compete with others!"

From the beginning, Su Yao understood this.

Therefore, she chose to work hard!

This was her only path.

Not only to prove herself, but also to implement her life's principles.

Since she was going to do it, she would do it to the best of her ability!

"..."

Lu Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that what Su Yao was doing now was actually enough.

Yesterday when they went to see Li Yaowen, the other party had already recognized the current Su Yao.

So it was okay to rest occasionally.

There was no need to push herself so hard...

Just as he was thinking this, Lu Xuan saw Su Yao turn her head and look at him with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Lu, I've rested enough, shall we continue?"

A crisp voice sounded, and Lu Xuan silently nodded.

"Okay."

He seemed to have no reason to refuse such a hardworking girl.

Soon, a melodious voice rang out again by the window of the ward.

"This girl sings so well!"

"Yes, very soulful!"

People passing by outside the ward couldn't help but poke their heads in for a look after hearing the singing.

Even the branches outside the window were perched with several larks, sitting there in a row, tilting their heads, curiously watching Su Yao practice.

These days, Lu Xuan took care of Qun Qun while teaching Su Yao how to sing in the ward.

At first, the nurse reminded them to keep their voices down.

But gradually, Su Yao's beautiful voice conquered them.

The nurse no longer reminded them; instead, she became Su Yao's little fan.

Every time she came to check the room, she had to listen carefully for a few sentences before leaving.

If it weren't for her job, she would have sat down and studied hard.

As for the others, needless to say.

Outside Xu Lan's ward, several old people sat on straight chairs every day, just to蹭 (cèng, get close to) the singing from inside the room.

These older generations heard a long-lost spirituality in Su Yao's singing.

Whenever Su Yao left, they would give her a thumbs up, smiling kindly at Su Yao.

"Girl, you sing so well!"

"It's because the teacher teaches well."

Every time, Su Yao would say this.

But the shallow smile on the corner of her mouth still revealed the joy in her heart.

Being recognized by others was the motivation for Su Yao to persevere.

"It would be nice if Teacher Lu could praise me too."

Su Yao looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of resentment.

Lu Xuan didn't even lift his head and flicked Su Yao's smooth forehead.

"Don't be distracted, you didn't get that tone right just now, do it again."

"Yes!"

Lu Xuan in teaching mode was stricter than any teacher, and more dedicated than any teacher.

On the hospital bed, Xu Lan hugged her daughter and quietly watched this scene.

She envied the relationship between the two.

They were clearly already married, but they could still maintain this kind of friendship-plus, but not-quite-lovers state.

Beautiful, pure.

"Mommy, I want to learn to sing too!"

Qun Qun leaned on Xu Lan's shoulder and said quietly.

She was afraid that her voice would be too loud and disturb the two people by the window.

Xu Lan came back to her senses, and after hearing her daughter's words, she gently tidied her daughter's bangs and smiled.

"Why does Qun Qun want to learn to sing?"

Little Qun Qun raised her head, her black gem-like eyes shining with starlight: "That way I can be a big star, and then earn lots and lots of money for Mommy, and Uncle Lu!"

"And... and Uncle Li Hao."

Qun Qun's wish was simple and direct.

Becoming a star meant making a lot of money.

This was what she learned from television.

Xu Lan smiled a little bitterly: "Qun Qun is still young now, how about we wait until you're a little older to learn?"

"Mmm~"

Qun Qun nodded her little head greatly.

Then she leaned into Xu Lan's ear and said in a small voice: "Qun Qun... wants to learn from Uncle Lu."

Hey, this little girl!

"Okay, okay, Mommy will talk to Uncle Lu then."

Xu Lan lowered her head dotingly.

The two foreheads touched, and Qun Qun immediately showed a giggling smile.

"Mommy, love you~"

Holding her daughter, Xu Lan looked up at Lu Xuan.

The other party was guiding Su Yao with a serious expression, and Su Yao was sitting upright, with a serious expression.

The sunlight shone in, hitting the two of them perfectly.

Like a golden couple!

Through these days of watching, Xu Lan knew that Lu Xuan was very capable.

Su Yao's daily progress proved this point.

If she wanted to find a teacher, Lu Xuan would be the best one.

"Hey, if Teacher Lu agrees, I'll owe him more and more."

Xu Lan sighed slightly.

"Mommy, don't sigh~"

"Okay, okay."

......

Time flew by.

Tomorrow was the opening day of the All-Platform New Singer Chart!

All contestants would upload their representative works at the same time tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.

Then, according to the total number of downloads from netizens, the top of this year's New Talent Chart would be judged!

And the list of contestants participating in the competition from major platforms also gradually surfaced this evening.

Su Yao got the list of contestants from Shenghua Entertainment from Li Yaowen as soon as possible and looked at it with Lu Xuan.

As a result, the appearance of a name made both of them look a little surprised.

Lu Xuan: "Wasn't this person an actor before? Why did he go to sing?"

Su Yao: "......"
