My skill tree increases every day.

Chapter 126 Don't touch me like that!

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and spoke.

Lin Yu listened with his eyes closed.

Having practiced for some time beforehand, Su Wanqing sang quite well.

The beginning was great, the emotion was right, and the breath control was stable. But when it came to the chorus, Lin Yu frowned slightly.

Su Wanqing, who had been watching Lin Yu's expression closely, stopped and looked at him nervously.

"Why did you stop?" Lin Yu opened his eyes and saw Su Wanqing looking at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanqing asked cautiously. "You always acted like this when you sang this part before, your expression was off, but you never said what the problem was."

"Well, I thought you didn't have enough time before, so I didn't ask you to revise this part," Lin Yu said hesitantly. "But now I'm worried that you won't be able to revise it, which might affect the overall result."

"Give it a try. If you really can't change it, then we can go back to the old way."

Lin Yu thought about it and decided that since he still had some time, he might as well give it a try.

"Alright, if you still can't fix it by Wednesday, then you can use Thursday to fix it again."

"Simply put, it's about changing how you exert force when singing this part."

Lin Yu gestured the approximate location on his stomach, "Put your hand on your stomach and feel where the abdominal muscles are engaged."

Su Wanqing placed her hand on her abdomen and sang it again.

"It's not enough to just put your hand on it. Can you feel the force being applied there?" Lin Yu listened once but didn't notice any significant changes, so he immediately pointed it out.

Su Wanqing's performance this time was not fundamentally different from before, except that she placed her hand on her stomach while singing.

Su Wanqing tried again, but it still didn't feel right. At this point, she was getting a little anxious: "What exactly does it feel like?"

'

"How about this, I'll give you a massage so you can feel it? Is that alright?"

Lin Yu decided to take the plunge and began to seek Su Wanqing's opinion.

"Come on, but let's make it clear first, you're not allowed to touch me inappropriately."

Although Su Wanqing was a little shy, she still agreed.

I did all this for the competition!

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Lin Yu reached out and gently pressed on her abdomen: "Inhale, can you feel it here?"

Su Wanqing took a breath.

"Not enough, push harder."

She took another deep breath, and this time Lin Yu could feel her abdominal muscles working.

"Can you feel it now? It's the feeling of pressure being applied here with my hand."

"Okay, sing now."

Su Wanqing spoke, and this time she seemed to be getting the hang of it.

"That's it." Lin Yu withdrew his hand, a soft touch still lingering on his fingertips. "Remember this feeling?"

Su Wanqing nodded and practiced it twice more on her own.

This time, she first placed her hand on the spot where Lin Yu had just pressed, and took a few deep breaths to get a feel for it.

"That's pretty much the feeling. You keep practicing, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow."

This isn't something you can learn in one go; you have to see how it goes over the long term.

"By the way," Lin Yu sat back down, "what are you planning to wear on the day of the finals?"

Su Wanqing blinked: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Makeup definitely needs to match the clothes," Lin Yu said. "The colors and styles have to match. Tell me your plans so I can prepare."

Su Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "I prepared a black dress."

"Black?" Lin Yu looked her up and down. "You're wearing black?"

"What's wrong? Is it not okay?"

"It's not that it's impossible," Lin Yu stroked his chin, "it's just that I've never seen you wear it before, so I can't imagine it."

Su Wanqing's lips curled up slightly: "You'll find out then."

"Alright then," Lin Yu said without pressing further. "I'll prepare the black one then. Don't come back later saying you want to change it!"

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and made a few notes in it.

Su Wanqing leaned closer to look: "What are you doing?"

"Just jot down the thought process." Lin Yu put the notebook away. "Don't look at it anymore, keep practicing."

"Stingy." Su Wanqing pouted, but still obediently stood back and continued singing.

After practicing a few more times, there was a sudden knock on the door of the activity room.

They both turned their heads at the same time.

"Please come in."

Ruan Yunxian pushed open the door, poked half her head in, and held a paper bag in her hand.

"Did I disturb you?"

Su Wanqing smiled and waved, "No, no, come in."

"Yunxian said she wanted to see how we practiced, so I asked her to come over," Su Wanqing explained to Lin Yu as she turned around.

"I see."

Lin Yu was surprised by Ruan Yunxian's ability to make friends. Had these two developed such a relationship after only knowing each other for a few days?

Ruan Yunxian walked in, her gaze immediately shifting between Lin Yu and Su Wanqing.

Lin Yu sat in a chair, and Su Wanqing stood opposite him, about two or three meters apart.

"I'm bringing Wanqing some drinks." Ruan Yunxian placed the paper bag on the table and took out three cups of milk tea. "Practice too..."

Don't forget to recharge!

"Yunxian, you're so thoughtful." Su Wanqing took the milk tea from Ruan Yunxian, inserted the straw, and took a sip.

Ruan Yunxian watched Su Wanqing drink the sugary milk tea, smiled slightly, and then handed another cup to Lin Yu: "Senior, this is for you."

Thanks.

"How's Wanqing's practice going?" Ruan Yunxian sat down on the chair next to her, resting her chin on her hands, looking like a curious child.

Su Wanqing glanced at Lin Yu: "It's alright, but Teacher Lin Yu still seems a little dissatisfied."

"Senior, that's not right of you!" Ruan Yunxian said with a grin, "Sister Wanqing sang so beautifully, how could you be dissatisfied?"

Lin Yu felt that there was something strange about what he was saying, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Lin Yu took a sip of milk tea and decided not to respond to the conversation.

Being strict is for her own good. Does Lin Yu think that praising her all the time will make her improve?

impossible.

"Alright, you've rested enough, it's time to continue training." Lin Yu put down his milk tea and urged Su Wanqing to continue training.

practice.

"Yunxian, listen to this too, and feel free to ask any questions!"

"Okay! Then I'll take a look too."

Ruan Yunxian was very supportive, and Su Wanqing's performance in the following practice sessions improved significantly.

"Let's take a break." Lin Yu checked the time; they had been practicing for an hour and a half.

Su Wanqing sat down in a chair, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, and took a sip. Her throat felt sticky, and she always felt thirsty.

"Wanqing is amazing! She sang so well! Unlike me—" Ruan Yunxian sincerely praised her. She knew her own limitations; her singing level was...

It's hard to say.

"Although I've heard you say that you're not a very good singer, I've actually never heard you sing before."

Lin Yu was also a little curious. What was the situation with Ruan Yunxian's singing?

"Senior!"
