Chapter 62: Important someone (2)

While the audience speculated, the remaining forty-six players started intense training.

After today’s vocal training, the instructor was giving individual guidance to each contestant.

Qiao Dai pushed the door of the classroom right on time, where Jiang Fengchi was already sitting. On the table in front of him was a notebook, which recorded the advice he gave everyone.

“Take a seat first.”

Hearing the sound of the opening door, Jiang Fengchi raised his head slightly and nodded at the girl who came in. After finishing writing in his notebook, he sat up straight and looked at Qiao Dai.

After rigorous training, most of the students in the vocal class had made progress. While the girls were originally all trainees from major entertainment companies, they all had a musical foundation but were not all talented. Jiang Fengchi really hoped to see them break through during the third public performance.

Jiang Fengchi didn’t waste any time. He raised his head to glance at Qiao Dai, paused for a few seconds, looked away, and said: “You can sing first.”

Qiao Dai stood up and walked to the open space to start singing. The song she had picked for the upcoming performance was a rather morbid love story. It had a good range, starting from bass sounds to a more high-pitched melody as the retelling went on, giving the audience a different kind of thrilling romance.

Qiao Dai’s voice was soft and Jiang Fengchi listened to her quietly, not commenting at all for a moment until he said: “Alright.”

Right after the chorus, Jiang Fengchi stopped her. He took a deep breath, trying to find his words first, and spoke: “You have already been taught the song’s technique, your focus should now be on how to manage your emotions.”

He paused for a while and added: “This is about sick and twisted love and has a lot of feelings. I know you have never tried such a style before and this stage may be a little difficult for you.”

Jiang Fengchi’s gaze fell on Qiao Dai. Her bright eyes were limpid and honest and he couldn’t help but be surprised when she had chosen this song, just like the other teachers. This was definitely not a song she was good at and it really clashed with her usual temperament.

If she wanted to create a perfect stage, she would have to work hard.

Half an hour went by fast and Jiang Fengchi helped Qiao Dai on a skill level, he helped smooth her transitions and modulation techniques. But while technique could be taught, a song of this caliber really needed the singer’s personal expression to be added and only Qiao Dai could work on that.

“Qiao Dai.” Jiang Fengchi stopped her as she reached the door, “Think about something important to you.”

When she heard his next words, Qiao Dai startled.

“What would you do if it was taken from you?”

Jiang Fengchi’s question kept swirling in Qiao Dai’s mind and after returning to her room, she sat on her bed and thought about it.

Was there anything important to her?

In an instant, many pictures flashed in her head but when one particularly appeared, any thought disappeared and the image became extraordinarily clear.

She was seeing Cheng Su, the person with whom she shared a secret.

What Jiang Fengchi had said about sick and twisted love was only a vague concept to her but when it came to important things that could be taken away, Qiao Dai felt like a knife was stabbing her heart. It felt as if part of it was taken away from her and that the wound would not heal in a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Qiao Dai subconsciously dialed Cheng Su’s number.

“Hello.”

After it rang two or three times, the call was connected and Cheng Su’s deep voice came from the receiver.

Hearing him, Qiao Dai’s tense body relaxed a little but as she wasn’t saying anything, Cheng Su’s voice rose a bit, sounding a little worried: “What’s wrong?”

Although she knew Cheng Su couldn’t see her, Qiao Dai shook her head to indicate she was alright. She sighed in relief and whispered: “I just wanted to check if you were still there.”

As soon as the words came out, Qiao Dai felt a little ridiculous and quickly added: “I’m sorry, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to disturb you, I just…”

To call Cheng Su for such a strange reason… The man must be laughing at her now. But hadn’t been able to stop herself.

When she recalled what Jiang Fengchi had told her earlier, she couldn’t help but see Cheng Su’s figure and instinctively called him to check if he was still here. Alive and well.

And before hearing his voice, unease had tightly wrapped her heart and she had become both terrified and anxious. Everything had felt like a hazy dream and she had been afraid that everything would disappear as soon as she had opened her eyes.

But as soon as he had spoken, her heart had relaxed. 

Cheng Su was here.

He was still there.

“I am not angry.”

Just as Qiao Dai opened her mouth to explain her strange behavior, Cheng Su interrupted her apology and said: “You needed me. I understand.”
