109: Chapter 109 Dilraba Competes for Favor: I'm So Happy

"Alright, stop showing off. Go find a corner and consolidate the feeling you just had. Remember, whether it's Singing or acting, forming muscle memory is the most important thing." Lin Chen spoke like a strict teacher.

Reba nodded obediently: "Got it, practice makes perfect! Mua!"

She leaned over and planted a kiss on Lin Chen's face, then ran back to the sofa barefoot, humming her new song to herself.

Without waiting for Lin Chen to call her, Yang Mi had already walked over with elegant steps.

She knew her man too well; he balanced the scales of favor better than anyone.

Since that silly, sweet girl had a new song, how could she, the head wife, go empty-handed?

"Yours is called 'Fruit of Midsummer'. I'll play the melody for you first."

Yang Mi nodded, crossing her arms over her chest, her exquisite face full of seriousness.

"Perhaps by giving up, I can draw closer to you"

"Only by not seeing you, will you remember me"

"Time accumulates, this fruit of midsummer"

"The lonely fragrance in my memories"

"I must try to leave you, and stop thinking of you"

"Although this is not what I intended"

Both songs were about summer, but this "Fruit of Midsummer" and the previous "Ningxia" were simply two extremes.

If "Ningxia" was a lively and energetic sunny girl, then "Fruit of Midsummer" was a melancholic woman who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and suffered from unrequited love.

With different musical styles, the Singing techniques were naturally worlds apart.

If Yang Mi had used the same bouncy, lighthearted voice that Reba used earlier to sing this song, it would have been an absolute disaster.

Lin Chen played and sang it through once, then began to nitpick the details for Yang Mi word by word.

After teaching her a few times, Lin Chen let go of the keys and signaled for her to try it herself.

"Find the feeling. Recall the emotions I just taught you, and don't worry about whether your breath control is right or if your pitch is drifting. As long as you feel that you have expressed that sadness, then it's a success."

Lin Chen guided her patiently.

Yang Mi nodded heavily, took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing rhythm, and gave Lin Chen a signal.

Like Reba, she called upon her years of acting experience to force herself into the sad mood of the lyrics.

"Perhaps by giving up, I can draw closer to you"

"Only by not seeing you, will you remember me..."

Yang Mi stood beside the black lacquered grand piano.

She was wearing a silk camisole nightgown, her straight, slender, snow-white legs faintly visible, standing tall and graceful.

Those fox-like eyes, which usually radiated shrewdness and strength, were now filled with an inseparable tenderness and sorrow.

Her slender hands, following the rise and fall of the music, were unconsciously and gently clasped in front of her chest.

When it reached the interlude, she slightly tilted her head back and closed her eyes, as if she were completely immersed in a painful memory and unable to pull herself out.

What is absolute focus?

It is when a person enters a state where they completely block out external distractions, forgetting where they are and who is standing beside them.

That was exactly how Yang Mi was at this moment.

She had completely lost herself in this sorrowful love song.

In this world constructed by musical notes, she was the only one licking her wounds in solitude.

Lin Chen played the piano while secretly marveling to himself.

His judgment was indeed correct.

These top-tier actresses truly had a unique advantage in emotional outbursts and immersion.

Reba was like this, and Yang Mi was even more outstanding among them.

In the huge and luxurious living room, the piano music sounded like weeping and pleading, and Yang Mi's slightly husky, sexy voice echoed in the air.

Tong Liya and Dilraba, who had been sitting on the sofa looking at each other with disdain, had now quieted down, putting aside their playful thoughts and becoming the most loyal listeners.

The song ended.

The lingering sound of the piano echoed in the rafters, and the Singing slowly faded away.

Yang Mi stood still for two seconds before slowly opening her eyes and letting out a long sigh.

Those captivating peach-blossom eyes fixed on Lin Chen, with a hint of undetectable nervousness: "Hubby, how was it?"

Lin Chen didn't evaluate her directly, but asked in return: "How do you think you sang?"

A beautiful smile slowly bloomed on the corners of Yang Mi's mouth: "In the past, Singing was purely a hobby to make quick money. But just now... I think I really experienced the joy of Singing."

Lin Chen nodded approvingly: "Being able to say that proves you've found the way. No matter what field you're in, the first step is always passion. Only with passion can you force out the extreme potential within your body."

"Hubby, Hubby! I also experienced the joy! I was super happy when I was Singing just now!"

Reba, unwilling to be left out and fearing that all the spotlight would be stolen, ran over like a child vying for favor to steal the scene.

Lin Chen looked at the beautiful women in front of him, his tone serious: "You both performed well today. Remember this feeling. As long as you are willing to put in the effort to practice, one day, you will each have a place on the throne of the Chinese music scene."

Reba giggled, then suddenly put both hands on the piano lid, leaned close to Lin Chen, and lowered her voice like a thief: "Hubby... in the future, will you keep writing these divine new songs for us?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh: "As long as you have the ability to sing them, I have as many as you want."

"Yay! Long live Hubby! Mua! Mua! Mua!"

Reba was so excited she jumped up, wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's neck, and stamped kisses all over his face.

Yang Mi held one arm across her chest, while her other hand played with the long hair falling by her ear; those fox-like eyes, which were always shrewd, were now overflowing with love.

Honestly speaking, Singing was just a hobby for them, and they didn't care at all whether they could become divas.

But what they enjoyed was Lin Chen's unconditional doting and his focus when teaching them seriously.

Of course, as female celebrities, vanity was definitely something they had.

Who wouldn't like to be worshipped by tens of millions of fans, and who wouldn't like to stand in the center of the stage enjoying the dazzling light?

Reba and Yang Mi were surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, their hearts as sweet as if filled with honey.

But Tong Liya, sitting in the corner of the sofa, felt her mood drop to the bottom, so disappointed she was about to cry.

She now felt like an invisible person who had stumbled into someone else's family, completely out of place.

She firmly believed that as long as she acted spoiled and asked, her husband would definitely write songs for her without hesitation and teach her with patience.

She still had that much confidence.

But... the problem was with her!

Even if her husband wrote a divine song for her, could she sing it properly?

Although she was usually a microphone hog in KTVs and had some mysterious confidence in her own voice, to tell the truth, she was really tone-deaf; her level was purely KTV.

If there were only her and Lin Chen in the living room, she would definitely shamelessly go up and belt out a few lines.

What was losing face in front of her own man? She had done much more embarrassing things in bed hundreds of times already.

But not now! In front of those two vixens, Yang Mi and Dilraba, she absolutely could not make a fool of herself!

Especially when both of them had been praised by her husband and had indeed sung stunningly.

Sigh!

Thinking of this, Tong Liya couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

No matter how unconvinced she was, she had to admit that Yang Mi and Dilraba were indeed streets ahead of her in terms of Singing.

It seemed she couldn't just focus on vying for favor in bed; her professional skills had to keep up too.

A couple of days ago, Lin Chen had mentioned teaching her vocal music, but at the time, she was solely focused on spending shameless quality time with her husband; how could she have the heart to practice any stupid songs?

This time, she was truly woken up.

She didn't care about being a diva, but she absolutely could not be left so far behind by Yang Mi and Dilraba that she couldn't even see their taillights!

If she were completely crushed by them even in Singing, how could she fight for the position of the head wife?

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about?"

A fair, tender little hand waved in front of Tong Liya, startling her out of her deep thoughts.

Tong Liya rolled her eyes at Dilraba: "What?"

"Let's go practice Singing!"

"Me?" Tong Liya pointed to her own nose.

"Nonsense! Aren't you part of our family?" Dilraba said as if it were a matter of course.

Tong Liya glared at her bitterly. This damn girl always knew exactly how to hit where it hurt.

Tong Liya followed Dilraba to the piano.

The three stunning beauties surrounded Lin Chen, as obedient as elementary school students listening in a tutoring class.

It's just that these three "elementary students" were devastatingly beautiful.

Their features were like paintings, their beauty enough to topple cities, and those three pairs of straight, snow-white long legs swinging back and forth would turn anyone with poor self-control into a beast in minutes.

Fortunately, Lin Chen, the "teacher," had strong enough resistance; after all, these three beautiful faces and three pairs of top-tier legs had already been thoroughly handled by him over and over again.

The Lin-style vocal crash course officially began.

Lin Chen taught meticulously, and the three women learned with full concentration.

But the three of them were not on the same page regarding their progress.

Dilraba and Yang Mi were at least at the Silver or Gold rank after being trained by Lin Chen, with passing basic skills; now they were practicing emotional immersion and technical handling.

Tong Liya was different; she was a pure Bronze novice, not even counting as Iron.

Lin Chen could only bite the bullet and start teaching from the most basic breath control and vocal placement.

"Remember, there are no perfect songs in this world, and no perfect singers. Even if your Singing skills are heaven-defying, it's not enough..." Lin Chen summarized, tapping the piano keys.

"Hubby, are you not perfect either? I think you are the best in the world at Singing! Better than anyone else." Dilraba stared with her watery eyes, flattering him with a serious face.

This wasn't her just blowing smoke to vie for favor; she genuinely felt from the bottom of her heart that Lin Chen's Singing skills were unrivaled.

She had been to countless concerts in her life, but Lin Chen was the only one in the world who could make her burst into tears and give her goosebumps.

If that's not invincible, what is?
