I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 14 KTV
Everyone except Li Xue was stunned. It wasn't that it was inappropriate to move after dinner, but Li Xue used a declarative tone, which was equivalent to making a decision for everyone.

Zhou Haoyu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for Li Xue, laughing and asking everyone, "It's just past eight o'clock now, and there's a KTV downstairs, why don't we go sing for a while?

It just so happens that Lao Bai has learned vocal music. I guess you haven’t heard of a professional singer singing in a KTV.

What kind of major is he, a failed student? How can he not be admitted to the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts with his major? Li Xue kept muttering in his heart.

"Then go sing for a while."

"Actually, I can sing, especially Cantonese songs. My high school classmates all call me the Guangxi Alan Tam!"

Kim Hyo-joo thought it was a good idea to transfer, and Chen Guangzhi was even more excited, as he was worried that the meal was too sloppy and there was no progress.

Li Xue looked at Shan Meng again, and seeing that the latter nodded after hesitation, she stood up decisively and led everyone downstairs: "Since everyone agrees, let's change the scene immediately.

Zhou Haoyu, you pay for the meal, and I'll treat you to singing."

"Okay, you guys go first. Let's get a bigger private room. There are quite a lot of us." Zhou Haoyu waved his hand. It was originally agreed that he would treat everyone. Anyone who dared to rush to pay would be disrespecting him.

Bai Chou patted Zhou Haoyu on the shoulder and said, "I'll treat you next time we go out to play."

"Then you will definitely treat me next time, since you have plenty of money." Zhou Haoyu laughed, patted Bai Chou's shoulder, and apologized in a low voice, "Sorry to bother you, Old Bai.

Xiaoxue has always been like this, quite straightforward. She probably doesn't mean anything against you. Just bear with her and consider it a favor to me."

Bai Chou nodded without saying anything.

It is understandable that children from wealthy families are relatively more self-centered. They naturally have advantages in socializing and do not need to endure their temper and put themselves in a difficult position.

Bai Chou is also quite selfish. Many times he doesn't consider other people's feelings because there is no need.

After chatting with Zhou Haoyu for a few more words and settling the bill, the two went downstairs and entered the KTV downstairs. As soon as they entered the hall and looked around, they saw Chen Guangzhi standing at the door of a private room and waving at them.

"Here, here!"

The two of them walked quickly over and followed Chen Guangzhi into the box. They took a quick look and were slightly surprised. So small?
Li Xue opened a small bag. There was nothing missing on the coffee table, including a fruit plate, dried fruits, beer, drinks, mineral water, etc. However, the space was a little too cramped.

A long leather sofa was placed behind the coffee table. Shan Meng sat at the innermost part, with Kim Hyo Joo sitting in the middle, about one person's space between them. Further out was the other half of the sofa.

It is obvious that Li Xue's seat is between Kim Hyo Joo and Shan Meng, and the three boys can only sit on the other half.

"Today, all the students from Theravada Buddhism came to sing as if they were in a collective horny mood. Only this little guy is left. He looks terrible." Li Xue stood beside the karaoke machine, adjusting the microphone and explaining with a curse.

"understand."

Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, they are college students, and since it’s just the beginning of the school year and it’s Saturday, they are quite energetic.

Bai Chou took the opportunity to sit next to Jin Xiaozhou, took out his mobile phone and player and threw them on the coffee table in front of him. He tilted his head and smiled and said, "What a coincidence, beautiful girl, we are sitting together again."

"What a coincidence! Neither of them wants to sit here, so I have to sit here." Kim Hyo Joo complained with a smile.

Bai Chou took the opportunity to tease him back: "Then you are willing to sit here?"

Kim Hyo-joo smiled but said nothing.

The sofa is so long that anyone sitting near the middle will end up sitting next to a boy. If Li Xue sits here, she'll definitely be sitting next to Zhou Haoyu. If Shan Meng and Jin Xiaozhou sit here, they'll probably be sitting next to Bai Chou.

Just from a simple seating arrangement, you can basically tell who can make it and who can't.

Bai Chou guessed that Zhou Haoyu and Li Xue's relationship was probably not as close as his own and Kim Hyo Joo's, even though he had only known Kim Hyo Joo for an hour.

"Hello, hello."

"Don't tease the great singer Bai. I've already tested the microphone for you."

Li Xue, who had picked up the microphone, interrupted the seemingly ambiguous Bai Chou and Jin Xiaozhou, and said with a provocative look: "Come over and sing a song quickly, so that we can see the strength of professional music students."

"Really? After I finish singing, I guess you won't be in the mood to sing anymore."

Why? Everyone was completely confused.

Only Shan Meng knew why, because Bai Chou sang really well and his voice was particularly good. Whenever there were celebrations in the school during his second and third years of high school, Bai Chou was usually the last one to perform a singing program.

Even if others have studied vocal music, the gap between them and Bai Chou is obvious.

Li Xue thought about it and understood what Bai Chou meant, and was a little surprised: "So arrogant?" "You are very confident." Jin Xiaozhou said with a smile.

Bai Chou shrugged: "I can't be so timid even when I'm in my own home turf, that would be like playing the pig to eat the tiger.

Anyway, tell me what songs you want to hear, and I'll see which one is suitable."

Is Industry 5 good at pop singing?

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he is really strong.

In Bai Chou's opinion, according to the system's rating standards, the so-called mainland queen Na Ying and Jacky Cheung's successor Zheng Zhongji were probably ranked third or fourth at their peak, not much better than him.

If he studies systematically for another two or three years, he will be able to reach the third or fourth level of professional skills.

These two have solid basic skills and are blessed with a natural voice. Their timbre is unmatched, and they are particularly good at singing in their comfortable range, giving people the feeling of a queen or king of singing.

Coincidentally, Bai Chou's basic skills are equally solid, and his vocal range is also ordinary, but his timbre is very special, similar to Zheng Zhongji's voice, which is rich and has obvious granularity.

If you lower your throat a little bit when singing, you can sing with 99% of the feeling of Zheng Zhongji. Bai Chou does lower his throat a little bit when singing.

"Can we really order whatever we want?" Kim Hyo Joo asked again.

"Go ahead, choose all of them, but I'll only sing one." You can always choose a song that's within your comfortable vocal range by choosing multiple ones.

"Then I want to hear you sing a Korean song. I'll order 'Insomnia' by Huixing." Kim Hyo-joo was the first to order a very popular song.

"Insomnia?"

"What song is this?"

Li Xue and others were stunned. They had never heard of it.

"Insomnia, QQ Speed, breaking through myself in Langya Heaven." Bai Chou said a few key words.

"Oh~"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was that song, it matched, it all matched.

"What about you guys?" Bai Chou looked at the others again. "Insomnia" was indeed in his comfort zone, but he had never practiced it before, so he decided to keep it as a backup for now.

"Let's not order, Brother Yu. Let's give the opportunity to the girls."

"Yes, you guys order, choose one from three." Zhou Haoyu nodded.

With "Insomnia" as a backup, Bai Chou doesn't care whether to choose it or not.

"I want to listen to 'Our Love', the version sung by JJ Lin." Shan Meng, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly spoke, his eyes slightly red.

"What would you like to order?" Bai Chou finally looked at Li Xue again.

"Wait for me to think about it first."

"Insomnia" is a Korean song. Although Bai Chou can speak Korean, it is not his native language after all, so this song must be difficult for him.

Then there is the cute "Our Love", which is the JJ Lin version. JJ Lin's voice is obviously clearer than Bai Chou's. Even if Li Xue doesn't understand vocal music, she knows that this song is difficult for Bai Chou.

In that case, I'll choose another song that's equally difficult. No matter how Bai Chou chooses, he can't find an easy song to sing.

"Have you heard "Sad and Beautiful"? It's a relatively niche song by Guo Ding, so I chose this one." Li Xue mentioned a niche song that she likes to listen to privately.

In 2018, "Sadly" was indeed a niche song.

Li Xue tried to sing it herself, but it was too difficult. She didn't understand vocal music, but she felt it was obviously harder to sing than most pop songs.

　Zheng Zhongji’s singing skills are definitely very good, but they are not to the level of being called the “God of Songs”.

　　In terms of function and technique, he cannot compare with Eason Chan and G.E.M. Zheng Zhongji's main feature is his invincible voice: there are many singers who can sing high notes, and the high notes can be mixed in, but it is very rare to have a mid-bass voice as good as Zheng Zhongji's.

　　Then there is Na Ying. I personally feel that her singing skills are a little worse than Zheng Zhongji's, and there is a clear gap between her live performance and CD performance. She is just an ordinary pop singer with a hoarse voice who relies on her unbeatable voice to conquer the world.
