Marriage Concerto (Small Thing Called Love)

Chapter 19: Drawing Lots

Probably because she needed to face the Merit team, Qiao Yichen added an additional competition performance segment to her training.

Ding Meng had only managed to sing a quarter of Yearning before she was interrupted by Qiao Yichen, "Your performance is currently too focused on the technique. Techniques are supposed to assist the delivery of the song. You're getting it backwards by singing like this."

Ding Meng paused for a moment and then looked at him, "Today, Gu Xin also told me something like that."

Qiao Yichen's eyebrows twitched, "Gu Xin?"

Ding Meng nodded her head. "Yeah, today he came to the TV station to record a show. Before, I only thought he sang well. I didn't expect his personality to be even better. He didn't even know me but he still helped give me some singing pointers." She paused here. Her mood was filled with unconcealed excitement. "At the time, I was too amazed. I even forgot to say thank you to him. I had originally wanted to tell you right when I got home, but I was worried you would think I was bragging."

Qiao Yichen lightly laughed, "Do I even need you to brag? Can you brag that you've helped him record songs before?"

Ding Meng, "..."

Okay fine, she had forgotten her family's Goudan was a great producer. However, the important stats weren't how many celebrities he had met. Rather, it was how many he had scolded into tears.

Qiao Yichen looked at her and just slightly narrowed his eyes, "Do you like Gu Xin a lot?"

Reasonably speaking, the style of music Ding Meng liked was no where close to Gu Xin's music style. She shouldn't like him that much, right?

Contrary to expectations, Ding Meng blinked her starry eyes and spoke, "Originally I only thought he looked handsome and sang well, but because I don't like rock 'n' roll, I never paid him much attention. However, after today, I've become his fan! I even bought his new album Lose Control on my way home!"

Qiao Yichen, "..."

He coldly shot her a glance, "If he wasn't so good-looking, would you still have become his fan so easily?"

Ding Meng responded, "Weren't you the one who said that the majority of normal people only pay attention to appearances?"

Qiao Yichen, "..."

"Oh yeah, today he also told me that singing is like practicing martial arts in the ancient times. Only by forgetting the techniques can a person and a sword become one. It's a pity I still haven't fully gasped that yet."

Hah, becoming one with the sword. Did this mean that fairies exist too? Qiao Yichen's tone was filled with disdain. "He's probably read too many wuxia novels."

Ding Meng scrunched her brows and glared at him, as if she was dissatisfied with how he was talking about her newly discovered idol, "I think his words make a lot of sense. Didn't you also say I'm paying too much attention to techniques?"

Very good, glaring at him because of another man. Qiao Yichen exhaled a deep breath and smiled at her, "Don't talk about other men in my home."

Ding Meng choked. "......The agreement states that we can each have our own love lives."

Qiao Yichen responded, "The agreement also prohibits bringing people back home."

Ding Meng's mouth twitched, "But I only mentioned him a little!"

"It's already very terrible. I feel like the air is completely filled with him."

Ding Meng, "..."
