56: Chapter 56 Kiss Me

After the listening session ended, Lin Chuyan wasn't in a hurry to leave; instead, he added quite a few people on WeChat.

He Xi was around thirty years old and appeared to be a very quiet and artistic woman.

At that moment, she was looking at him with a smile, "Lin Chuyan, I have high hopes for you. It's rare to find someone in the industry who is handsome, good at Singing, and can consistently get good songs."

Lin Chuyan also smiled, "Sister He Xi, you flatter me. It's all thanks to Teacher Lin Mo."

"Being too humble isn't good. Remember to give my regards to Teacher Lin Mo."

Wawa also walked over.

He was a bit younger than He Xi, but because he was slovenly, he looked a bit old. Right now, his eyes were still a little red, which looked quite funny.

"Lin Chuyan, I love the song 'people and people' so much! Lin Mo wrote it so well, and you sang it so well too!"

"It's a bit of a pity that it wasn't included in this EP."

"It's okay, there are still those four songs. They are all great, truly great. I'll post on Weibo tomorrow. You're invincible, seriously."

"You're exaggerating, you're exaggerating. It's not that serious."

Wawa shook his head, "Aren't you being too unconfident? You're definitely on the path to becoming a huge hit! What are you afraid of?"

"…Alright, I'll take your kind words."

Wawa seemed to think of something else, "By the way, after the EP comes out, could you sign one for me? I'll send it to you."

"You're being too much of a stranger. There's no need for Teacher Wawa to buy one; I'll have my agent send one to you when the time comes."

"Alright, but I still want to buy some myself to give away as gifts, hehe."

Lin Chuyan noticed that the other person was acting a bit strange; this guy looked like he had… become his fan?

Rumor had it that he was quite arrogant about his talent, so this shouldn't be the case.

…

Ruan Xingyu had left long ago.

Lin Chuyan didn't go looking for her to chat either. The reason was simple: they had already made plans…

After saying goodbye to these musicians and Wu Yue, Zheng Hai, and the others, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to Ruan Xingyu's house.

They had been separated for a full half-month, just the day after they confirmed their relationship…

Do you know how he spent those half a month?!

After entering the house, he stood by the entryway, and the two of them stared at each other intently, neither speaking.

In each other's eyes, something called desire was growing.

A longing for you to understand that my mind is filled with thoughts of you, a longing for you to see my endless missing of you.

"Xingxing…"

"Hmm…"

Sometimes, love can only be expressed through actions.

Lin Chuyan didn't hesitate any longer.

He took a step forward, getting close to her.

Ruan Xingyu subconsciously retreated, but soon found she had nowhere left to retreat.

Lin Chuyan cupped her face and pinned her against the wall with his body.

This was a distance where they could clearly feel each other's breath.

Ruan Xingyu's breathing was noticeably rapid.

Lin Chuyan's gaze was too intense, which made her feel a bit happy and a bit nervous; she just didn't quite dare to meet his eyes.

She was surprised by his assertiveness, quietly swallowed, and then slowly calmed down.

She raised her gaze, no longer avoiding him, and began to respond to the love in Lin Chuyan's eyes.

The next second.

Exhaling like an orchid:

"Kiss me."

Brave, firm, and unquestionable.

Like a proud queen giving an order to her knight.

Lin Chuyan could no longer hold back and kissed her directly.

It had been half a month; the memory of that kiss had slowly faded, but now it was finally picked up and imprinted by him again.

Closer, tighter, as if he could knead her into his heart this way.

Their lips met. Ruan Xingyu did not resist; pinned against the wall, she had no strength to resist, nor did she want to.

She liked his assertiveness very much.

She had also been looking forward to this kiss for a long time.

…

Don't know how long it had been, the two of them finally stopped.

Although their lips were apart, their noses were still touching and pressing against each other, unwilling to separate.

Heavy breathing hit each other's faces. Eye to eye, the two didn't speak, just quietly clinging to each other, feeling and cherishing the moment; it seemed only this way could alleviate the pain of missing each other for half a month.

After another while, Ruan Xingyu gently pushed him, "Alright, let's go into the house."

"I'm not going."

"Hmm?"

Lin Chuyan slid his hands down and tightened his grip on her waist, "I still want to hug for a while, I still want to kiss."

Ruan Xingyu laughed, "How can you be like this? Like a little puppy."

Lin Chuyan: "Woof woof woof."

"?"

"Someone told me to kiss her, and I'm just being too obedient."

Ruan Xingyu knew he was teasing her and felt a mix of embarrassment and anger. She quietly reached out and pinched his waist, "Lin Chuyan, you really are a little puppy!"

…

Affection is one thing, getting along is another.

Although they were already boyfriend and girlfriend, apart from hugging and kissing, Lin Chuyan didn't dare to make any further moves. After all, they hadn't been together for long, and on top of that, it was her first time dating…

Hmm, taking it slow is fine; a long, steady stream, he wasn't in a hurry.

He wasn't a domineering CEO from a novel; he just wanted to treat Ruan Xingyu well and respect her, not wanting her to have even the slightest bit of reluctance.

"I made a discovery on stage today; it seems that an actor's sense of belief is very helpful for Singing."

Lin Chuyan described the feeling he had at the time to her, but to his surprise, Ruan Xingyu wasn't surprised at all.

"This counts as your first time on stage, right? Actually, Singing is just like that. 'Performance' – it's not just Singing, it's also acting. A good Singer can easily make the audience empathize and get immersed."

Ruan Xingyu gave him a few examples. Besides the techniques required for Singing itself, some facial expressions and movements that perfectly complemented the song also contributed to what is called a "good stage presence."

"Oh right, I almost forgot that you participated in 'Singer'…"

"Hey, what do you mean 'participated in'!"

The variety show 'Singer' on Fruit TV is held once a year, and every time the ratings are terrifyingly good. It can be said to be a shortcut for a Singer to increase their popularity and even national recognition.

Ruan Xingyu was the winner of the previous season, and a large part of her reputation as a diva was due to the support of this show.

But I don't know why, there hasn't been any movement from this show for almost two years. Could it be that they aren't holding it anymore?

"Ask you a question, by the way, does your show use pitch correction?"

"Of course." Ruan Xingyu found it a bit strange that he would ask such a question, "Fruit TV loves pitch correction; it would be strange if they didn't, right? I am considered one of the ones with very little correction, but some Singers…"

Ruan Xingyu was a bit embarrassed to say it.

"What?"

"Because it's not a live broadcast, they can just use pitch correction as they please. Some Singers are truly a car crash scene; by the time it airs, they've even corrected it into electronic music. But most of the audience actually can't tell it's corrected and will only think it's the sound of nature."

Ruan Xingyu was a bit angry and a bit amused, "So for a while, I was scolded very badly by the fans of those Singers."

"Scolded you? Why?"

"Still because of the pitch correction. Every time it aired on Friday, the fans would see that their idol clearly sang so well, so why was their ranking lower than Ruan Xingyu's!"

"Understood." Lin Chuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Actually, it could be broadcast live."

Ruan Xingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and mischievously reached out to touch his head, "My boyfriend, you really don't know how rotten the Chinese Music Industry is…"

Lin Chuyan grabbed her hand and pulled her over, "Don't you know that a man's head cannot be touched?"

Ruan Xingyu blinked, "I know now."

"Will you dare to do it next time?"

Ruan Xingyu's body felt a bit soft, but her mouth was still a bit stubborn, "Depends on the situation."

So her body was pulled even closer by Lin Chuyan, "Wrong answer."

"What do you want to do?"

Ruan Xingyu's voice was trembling a bit, but it didn't sound like she was afraid.

Lin Chuyan stopped talking.

The two people who were just talking about the Chinese Music Industry the second before, had already thrown the topic to the nine heavens in the next second.

Outside the window, the cold wind was biting, but inside, it was as warm as spring.

This night had become beautiful again.
