Chapter 36 (2/2)
Gu Xin thought for a , ”Letrehearse before It'll be easy to play”
Ding Meng was stunned Having Gu Xin be her accompaniment seemed like a bit of a waste
Qiao Yichen didn't want to agree to this proposal, but it ithout a doubt the best solution at present Not only that, by perforain a lot more attention
He was still weighing the possibility when Ding Meng suddenly spoke, ”I can do it myself”
Everyone else was stunned and looked at her rather doubtfully Ding Meng pursed her lips and spoke seriously, ”Actually, I have uitar myself”
Looking as though he wasa decision, Qiao Yichen reuitar?”
Ding Meng nodded, ”I've been learning for the past four months, and I practice everyday”
”Playing the guitar and playing while singing aren't the same”
”Let her try” Qiao Yichen interrupted Gu Xin with his final decision
”Thank you Even though I'ive itYou Wanted to Break Up Today at the concert, she always played this song during her guitar lessons While Qiao Yichen had said that it could help her find a better feel for the song, she hadn't expected it would be become so useful at this crucial moment
Qiao Yichen looked at her and spoke again, ”You said you had your own plans for the song?”
”Mh nodded Her idea arose as a result of her countless rehearsals, but she didn't think her way of thinking was better than Qiao Yichen's so she had stayed silent this entire ti and play the guitar herself, she wanted to give it a try
She looked at Qiao Yichen and asked, ”Could you help ”
Finding a shorter dress wasn't hard, but finding one thatwasn't so easy The sah both Qiao Yichen and Gu Xin's hed as he responded, ”There's no need to find another one The dress you're wearing ork after some alterations”
”Alterations?” Ding Meng looked at him a little doubtfully
Gu Xin found a pair of se and winked at her, ”Relax, just leave it towith clothing”
As he spoke, he walked in front of Ding Meng, preparing to lift up her skirt
”Stop!” Qiao Yichen suddenly shouted ”I also have quite a bit of skill in ter Let me do it”
He walked over and snatched away the scissors in Gu Xin's hand Then he squat down by Ding Meng's skirt After sizing it up a couple times, he brazenly cut it
Gu Xin grinned and stood at the side watching Fro stiffly stood in her original spot, lowering her head to look at the person crouching in front of her
This position…was really weird When she unnaturally shi+fted her waist a bit, Qiao Yichen ht accidentally cut you”
Ding Meng, ”…”
She didn't dare move recklessly, but this was really aard Since this dress was so long, she hadn't worn spandex shorts underneath Would he see so…
As she thought this, she couldn't help but want to claether to better conceal herself down there Qiao Yichen's voice sounded fro?”
Ding Meng, ”…”
QAQ
Qiao Yichen worked for over tenshortened, the dress reached just above her knee The fringe was cut in a very unruly way and Ding Meng couldn't figure what sort of style he had fashi+oned, but generally speaking it still looked alright
Qiao Yichen took a scrap cloth he had just cut off and tied it into a bow around Ding Meng's waist Ding Meng was still studying it when Gu Xin spoke again, ”Your hairstyle also needs to change”
Ding Meng's hair was currently tied up in a bun that was reminiscent of that decade Gu Xin helped her re her black hair fall down
Gu Xin sized her up and down a bit and then used his hand to fluff her hair out a bit, ”This will do It looks voluminous and matches ith your dress”
Ding Meng looked at herself in the h she had only ave off had ied She looked at the scattered cloth scraps on the ground and asked rather worriedly, ”About that…was this dress expensive?”
Qiao Yichen, ”…”
”I cut it so I'll take the responsibility” As he spoke, he walked towards the door, ”I'uitar so you can practice a bit As for the dancers, I'll give them a heads up beforehand to ask them to coordinate with you as much as possible”
”Okay, thank you”
When he arrived at the door, Qiao Yichen stopped abruptly He turned around and looked at her, ”Come with me”
After Ding Meng recalled the door that had been forced open with a kick, she thanked Gu Xin and followed Qiao Yichen out of the room Gu Xin walked to the doorway and waved, ”Good luck in your perfor forward to it”
Qiao Yichen's pace accelerated so Ding Meng had no choice but to quicken her steps as well
Qiao Yichen brought her to his own lounge ”Wait for e I'll be back very soon”
”Ok…”
Qiao Yichen gave her another glance before striding away
Not after long, he returned with a guitar and gave it to Ding Meng Ding Meng felt like he seery, but tiht now
After Qiao Yichen gave her the guitar, he took off once again Since the concert was still underway, he, as the music director, didn't even have time to take a breath
Ding Meng picked up the guitar and practiced several times before she heard a staff worker call Sian to pound Sin that her turn was fast approaching
The lounge door was pushed open, and Qiao Yichen stood at the doorway looking at her, ”Si up soon You should alsoarea”
”Al-alright” Ding Meng held her guitar and walked over with him
On their way there, Qiao Yichen didn't say a single word Finally, Ding Meng couldn't help but ask, ”Are you still angry?”
Qiao Yichen's steps paused for aforward, ”Let's not talk about that right now Focus on singing well in a moment”
”Okay…”
After she arrived at the waiting area, she saw Si and was just waiting to go on stage
She was just about as tall as Ding Meng and was currently wearing a pair of stilettos Ding Meng immediately estimated that she was at least 180 cm The most noticeable aspect about her was that she naturally emitted the aura of an empress, which was evenwas a bit shaken
However, she continued holding onto her guitar and took the initiative to say hello Sinized her, ”I heard your guitarist got into an accident?”
”Yeah In a uitar myself”
Siuitar in her hands and withdrew her glance ”I see, good luck”
Ding Meng was stunned for a ht that Sima Xiaoxiao disliked her a lot However, now it seee of this moment and ask why Sima Xiaoxiao had followed her?”
Before she had a chance to ask, the presenter on stage had already shouted out Sima Xiaoxiao's name The shouts of the audience ily loud
Silance at her and fiddled with her earbuds as she prepared to go on stage ”Pay attention tolater”
Before Ding Meng had time to react, Sima Xiaoxiao had already walked out
The first song she sang was a classic love song The second song was the one Ding Meng sang in the finals, First Flower of February
When Si perceived how large the gap between the two of them was Not only was this based on their perfore Even if Si, she would still be able to rile up the tens of thousands of spectators
The previous ru First Flower of February in public was thoroughly disproven Her live perfor's perfor the finals
Was this what she ing?
Now Ding Meng believed Qiao Yichen when he said that the e her
After Si, the audience's enthusiase, suddenly felt pressured
Qiao Yichen was still standing at the waiting area He glanced at Ding Meng and walked by her side, ”Relax, singing is your forte”
Ding Meng stared blankly for a moment before she recovered and nodded at him, ”Okay!”
Sihts turned off, the directortook a deep breath and carried her guitar on stage
Just like every other tie, she oddly calmed down
She figured that she e fiend
In the e was a stool which had been prepared especially for her When she walked over and adjusted her seat, a staff worker gestured that the guitar had already been hooked up
The stage lights turned back on Even though the spectators had no idea as up next, they still cheered enthusiastically
This little bit of cheering encouraged Ding Meng Previously, Jiang Nanqing had said that she would rally the Little Lemons to come and watch, but there were simply too many spectators She had no idea where they were
However, that wasn't a proble for everyone to hear
She ss
”You wanted to break up today,
For such a ridiculous reason, I couldn't even speak,
I didn't ask whether or not you ever loved me, or if I had made some mistake,
Since your love wasn't enough, I'd rather turn around and leave with grace…”
Coeinally e had i's voice was so bright and the elegant iave her a youthful confidence, the song was less melancholic and more relaxed, as if the sun had finally burst out of the clouds
This was Ding Meng's way of thinking all along Breaking up wasn't necessarily a bad thing Ruan Lingyun was able to see the true colors of that asshole guy before sheand relief? It was a pity that in the end, she died an untimely death
Ding Meng's new interpretation of the song You Wanted to Break Up Today definitely gave the audience a refreshi+ng feeling A feeling of gentle warraceful streaness and sadness that was hard to detect
So this song could also be sung like this
The spectators began to cheer again, but this ti
