Chapter 138 That scumbag (6) (1/2)

Lin Shixing stayed with his brother in a strange city for half a month.

Although he was in a place he was not familiar with, surrounded by strangers, it was the happiest time since Lin Shixing could remember.

They go out to play around every morning, eat various snacks and delicacies in the afternoon, and wait until dusk when the lights on the streets are lit, then set up a stall to perform.

At first, Lin Shixing would feel embarrassed and embarrassed.

After all, singing in front of a large crowd of people coming and going seems strange no matter how you look at it.

It was Lin Shiheng who bought a microphone directly. When Lin Shixing, who was blushing and did not dare to step forward, could not take the first step, he grabbed the microphone and walked to the front, laughing and saying:

"Dear fellow villagers, handsome guys and beauties, our brothers and sisters are holding a temporary concert here today. Those who have money will support it, and those who have no money will support it individually."

After finishing his opening remarks simply and neatly, he ran over and pulled out Lin Shixing who was hiding aside. He put the microphone directly into his sister's hand and raised his eyebrows at her with a relaxed expression.

Lin Shixing held the microphone stiffly.

What is this for?

Does he think this is ancient times?

Doesn't this kind of line only appear in TV series?

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that his sister remained motionless, the young man urged with a smile: "Let's go have a big meal after making money."

"no!"

Lin Shixing looked around at the onlookers who were looking this way, his face instantly turned red, he held the microphone and stammered: "Are there too many people... They are all looking at me..."

"When you went to the competition, there were more people. What if you get scared now and can't sing on stage?"

Lin Shiheng said plausibly: "I tell you, the starting point is the most important, because at this height that you have not yet climbed up, even if you make a mistake and fall, you will not suffer much loss. If you win the bonus, you will become famous again." Why don't you hold a concert when it's so popular? Now practice more. Anyway, we don't force you to collect money. If you don't sing well, you can leave. No one will blame you. If you sing well and get the money, we can eat a lot today. One meal, a fortune!”

I have to say that Lin Shiheng is really talented in confusing people.

Lin Shixing was convinced.

She kept encouraging herself in her mind, holding the microphone tightly in her hand, and boarded the temporary stage. She only drew a circle on the ground with a pencil and regarded it as her own territory.

The first song is her best.

At the beginning of the first sentence, her voice had some vibrato due to nervousness, but after she found a familiar feeling, the vibrato gradually disappeared.

The onlookers did not have too in-depth analysis of the singing.

All they can give back is two words: it sounds great!

As for voice, timbre, and emotional control, most people don't have this awareness at all.

What surprised the two brothers and sisters was that most of the people who contributed to the fund for today's "temporary concert" were elderly people.

In their impression, the elderly have always been frugal and would not spend money if they could. There are some young people who don't care about being generous with money, but they also ignore that there are very few things like performing arts nowadays. See you.

Only in places like temple fairs can you see long-lost buskers, and those who sing on the streets are mostly those who are truly disabled or pretend to be disabled, half begging and half busking.

Lin Shixing's voice was more valuable than she thought. An hour later, they had enough funds to have a big meal.

At first, when Lin Shixing saw the money, he subconsciously wanted to save it.

Lin Shiheng, who always admired instant gratification, took her directly to a restaurant.

"You have to spend what you have to spend. If a person makes money and is reluctant to spend it, eats rough food and wears cheap clothes all his life, does not buy luxury goods or non-necessities, and wishes to break a dollar in half and use it, is this still living? ?”

The young man, who looked more perfect and handsome than his sister, gnawed on the chicken leg very ungracefully: "Eat quickly, you are not tired after singing for an hour. After eating, there is still some money left. Let's go for a massage. Wait until After the massage, have a good sleep.”

Lin Shixing hesitantly stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg.

Fragrant and delicious.

During the following period, the brother and sister played during the day and performed at night. Lin Shiheng enlivened the atmosphere and Lin Shixing sang. In order to protect his voice, he would only sing for an hour a day. No matter how much money he was given, he would not sing. He would not say anything about the money he made. , her singing skills are indeed becoming more and more proficient.

The two of them relied on this skill to have more fun than anyone else even though they were half-grown children and in a strange city.

On the day of the first test, Lin Shiheng accompanied Lin Shixing in.

"I always feel that I am going to have a big star sister."

Lin Shixing exhaled nervously: "Do you think I can do it?"

"Of course you can. You can sing so well. It's rare to have a singing voice that can make people pay for it."

Yes, she can.

Certainly possible.

Lin Shixing cheered himself up and walked in with a determined expression.

Indeed she can.

Lin Shixing passed the preliminary round very smoothly, and then came the semi-finals. There were still many contestants in the semi-finals, and Lin Shixing still passed smoothly.

When she got the list of finalists and saw her name on it, she felt a feeling that she didn't even know she had in her heart.

Many years later, in an interview, Lin Shixing correctly defined his original feelings.

"Maybe it was a mixture of surprise and confusion, because at that time it was the first time that I didn't follow the path given by my parents, so when I really walked out of a path, my first reaction was that I didn't know what to do next. How to do it, and I was too young at that time, knew nothing, and could only sing. My brother was always busy taking care of me, although he refused to admit that he was taking care of me. "

Lin Shiheng indeed took good care of Lin Shixing.

Before this, Lin Shixing's impression of his brother was mostly negative.

Lazy, arrogant, and dawdling, he belongs to the lazy type who can sit and never stand and lie down and never sit.

If she had to name a shortcoming, it would probably be shamelessness and shamelessness.

She never thought that Lin Shiheng would be so popular when he was willing to show his unique charm.

Almost everyone backstage dislikes this sweet-tongued young man. When he talks to people with a crooked smile and a slightly naughty smile, no matter they are men or women, old or young, they are all willing to be there. He showed the greatest kindness he could give in front of him.

He is like a firefly in the dark night, flashing among the crowd as if he is glowing. When he wants to win someone's favor, he doesn't have to think at all. A series of sweet words that can just scratch the other person's itch come out from that seemingly It came out of the honey-smeared mouth.

A staff member said to Lin Shixing:

When Lin Shiheng looked at someone seriously with his light brown eyes, it was as if he was seeing the whole world from inside.

He must be the purest and kindest person in the world.

The staff member was so sure.

Lin Shixing: "..."

She still didn't speak.

Her well-spoken brother who had a good relationship with almost everyone gave her the greatest convenience she could get. Before going on stage, there was a makeup artist who had worked in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and knew many unspoken rules. She put on makeup while trying her best to tell her some rules of the entertainment industry.

"I've seen you sing before, but this time you won't be anywhere near the worst. Plus you're good-looking. After the competition is over, there should be many entertainment companies or talent scouts looking for you. Don't listen to them then. Don't just believe what others say. You need time to think about it first, and then check it carefully when you go back. If you want to sign a contract, look for a big company that is famous and has relatively popular stars. Although it may make a profit The money needs to be divided, but it’s better than being cheated by the company.”

Lin Shixing couldn't move her head because she had to put on makeup, so she could only keep her original posture and open her mouth to say thank you: "Thank you, Sister Miaomiao, I understand."

"You're welcome."

The makeup artist put on her makeup and put away the tools with a smile: "Sister, I wish you great success."

Lin Shiheng, who was watching his sister put on make-up, continued: "If Shi Xing is really popular, we will definitely ask Sister Miaomiao to be our exclusive make-up artist."

"You brat, you know how to say some deceptive things. You've said this to several people."

The makeup artist laughed and cursed, always with a smile on his face. After saying hello, he carried his tool box and went to another contestant's makeup place.

Lin Shixing sat nervously backstage, waiting to go on stage.

Her number was relatively high, and as the time approached, the seventeen-year-old girl's nervous palms became sweaty.

"nervous?"

Lin Shiheng handed over a bottle of water: "Drink some water to moisten your throat, don't drink too much."

Lin Shixing obediently held the water and took a sip.

"Sing well. I'll give you a surprise when I'm done."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shixing looked up at his brother in confusion: "Surprise?"

"Yes, as a reward for your contribution to my pocket money."

Lin Shiheng shrugged and patted his sister on the head.

"come on."

It was obviously just two ordinary words, but when Lin Shixing heard it, he seemed to feel his heart gradually calming down.

She looked at her brother without blinking, "If I didn't get the bonus, would you still take care of me like this?"

"Did I take care of you?"

Lin Shiheng smiled and raised his eyebrows when he saw Lin Shixing staring at him unwilling to give up.

"Well, I will, if you want."

"Who made me your brother?"

The staff member came over: "Lin Shixing, it's your turn soon, hurry up and get ready."

Lin Shixing stood up and was at a loss for a moment.

"Go ahead."

Her brother patted her head.

"Think of surprises."

Lin Shixing was waiting near the front desk. She saw the contestant in front of her coming down. It was a girl who looked older than her and in her early twenties. She bowed to the audience and turned towards her. Come.

There was sweat on her forehead and she was breathing heavily, but after walking backstage, she looked behind Lin Shixing with a relaxed smile.

"Mom and Dad!"

A middle-aged couple walked up from behind Lin Shixing, arrived in front of their daughter, and handed her the flowers in their hands.

The girl took the flowers with a happy smile and looked at her parents with eyes full of admiration:

"How did I sing?"

"Sounds good!"

"Singing very well!"

"Of course. I've been practicing for a long time. You even prepared flowers and you didn't tell me. Did you surprise me..."

The family of three happily headed backstage.

Lin Shixing stared at this scene blankly, his nose was sore and his heart felt like he had been hit by something, making him feel sore and stuffy.

"Shixing, it's your turn!"

"Huh? Oh, okay, thank you."

She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and went on stage with a normal expression.

There were many people down there, but because the lights were not turned on, all we could see was darkness.

She put the phone to her mouth and thought about the past half month.

She and her brother went to the amusement park. They were sitting on the carousel, surrounded by children. One little boy asked why his brother and sister were still playing this when they were so old.

Lin Shiheng replied with a smile, because he never played it when he was a child.

They went to take pictures, go to museums, go to the aquarium, and go to many places that Lin Shixing had never been to when he was a child.

It’s like making up for your entire childhood.

Even if she failed this time, deep down in her heart, she already had an experience that made her happier and more satisfied than the competition.

So, don't be afraid!

Lin Shixing opened his mouth and sang the song he had practiced many times.

This song was a very challenging song. When she reached the high note and didn't stop for a long time, the dark audience below applauded and cheered.

"good!!!"

The encouragement from the audience made Lin Shixing's heart beat fast. She had never received so many affirmations before, but the faster her heart beat, the more stable her voice became.

Until he sang the last line and ended perfectly, Lin Shixing did not slack off at all.

The judges' score was very high. She bowed with a grateful smile and left the stage.

"Lin Shixing!!"

In the backstage passage, which was darker than the front, there was a young man standing there.

Seeing her coming, he smiled.

"Look who's here."

He gave way, and behind him, Father Lin walked out.

Father Lin wore an old-fashioned suit that he bought several years ago and only wore it when discussing business in the factory. Mother Lin also wore a different and beautiful dress from usual, with a silk scarf tied around her neck.

They all looked a little embarrassed and a little bit embarrassed.

No one can understand how complicated their emotions were when they were backstage and saw the dazzling brilliance of singing on the dazzling stage.

Lin Shiheng took out a bouquet of flowers from behind and stuffed it into his father's hand.

"Dad, what are you doing standing still? I'm going to give you flowers after singing."

Father Lin held the flowers uncomfortably, touched the clothes that were a little tight, walked up to his daughter, and put the flowers into her hands, "Shi Xing, you sing beautifully."

"Your brother is right. We take it too much for granted. If you like singing, just do it as long as you can support yourself."

Lin Shixing took the flower with trembling hands.

"Thanks dad."

Her brother came over from the other side, smiling as arrogantly as he had many times before: "How about it, are you surprised?"

Lin Shixing's eyes were red, and he nodded wildly while holding the flowers.

"I was so surprised that I cried."

With tears in her eyes, she smiled lightly at her brother.

"The flowers are beautiful."

She received the gift she wanted most.

Parents’ affirmation.
