Chapter 81: It’s Lu Miao!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Miao lazily acknowledged with a sound and didn’t dwell on his previous rudeness.
Just as she was about to leave, Huang Zihao took a deep breath from behind, “Although I lost this time, it doesn’t mean I will always lose. I will work hard to defeat you next time!”
Lu Miao waved her hand behind her, “I’ll be waiting!”
The Triwizard Tournament had come to an end.
Zhenhai High School successfully secured first place!
The school was filled with joy. Principal Xu couldn’t stop smiling.
He announced directly that to celebrate the school’s excellent performance in the Triwizard Tournament, all students would have a half-day rest in the afternoon.
In truth, Zhenhai High School didn’t need to secure guaranteed admission spots each year, and they had quite a few students who were admitted to Qingbei University.
His announcement was just to deliberately taunt the two other schools.
Sure enough, Principal Tian of Fengcheng No.l High School and the principal of Jiangcheng Experimental School were so angry that smoke was about to come out of their nostrils when they heard the news on the radio.
They hadnt even left yet, and they had already started to broadcast the holiday celebration. It was clearly done on purpose by that old thief Xu Zhongwen.
However, they were indeed at fault for Han Fei and Chu Qingyang’s actions.
Helplessly, they left with their students, feeling dejected.
Gu Ziheng stayed at home for a few days. Gu Jinxi stared at him every day like he was guarding against a thief and did not let him get close to Lu Miao.
Lu Siyu called him and said that she wanted to see Gu Xingyu, but he rejected her directly.
Xingyu had already caused a ruckus at home because of her. If she came again, who knew how much trouble Xingyu would cause?
Lu Siyu felt wronged and said,” I understand, Brother Ziheng. I won’t make things difficult for you. I heard from Xingyu that you’re producing a talent show. I want to participate, can I?”
This was the main reason why she called Gu Ziheng.
Although Gu Ziheng’s voice was getting worse and worse because of his bad voice, he had been in the industry for a few years and knew more people.
Moreover, it was said that the program he was currently producing was a collaboration with a super big platform in the industry. In the future, the platform would support him.
Gu Ziheng had the support of Gu Shiyan, the super big shot, behind him. He did not have to worry about resources at all.
With him around, Lu Siyu didn’t have to worry about any hidden rules.
Lu Miao was probably a true genius and academic overachiever. It seemed impossible for her to surpass her in academics, so she had to approach it from other aspects.
Gu Ziheng had already rejected her once, so he couldn’t reject her directly.
He could only answer vaguely,” I’m still at home. I’ll go back to the island in a
few days and ask the person in charge of registration.”
Lu Siyu was anxious. Although she really wanted him to agree immediately, she also knew that she couldn’t rush him now.
She could only grit her teeth and put on a sensible facade .” Alright, I’ll wait for Brother Ziheng’s news.”
Gu Xingyu was still unusually stubborn and refused to admit her mistake.
Shen Qinghe was not in a hurry. She just locked her up and made her kneel in
the ancestral hall every day.
The show on the island was about to start recording. Gu Ziheng was the producer of the show and still had a lot of work to do.
After the injuries on Gu Xingyu’s hand had mostly recovered, he returned to the island.
Standing outside the recording studio and listening to the student’s wails and howls, Gu Ziheng was furious.
The student had already been secretly training on the island for more than a month. The program was about to officially start recording, and the student was still at this level.
He immediately shut down the recording studio’s equipment.
He called the student out of the recording studio and said angrily.
“It’s been more than a month. Have you been paying attention to your lessons? Do you really think that as an idol, you’ll only need a good face and a mouth to speak? Without solid skills, even if you become popular, it’ll just be a shooting star that will eventually fall back to its original state. Let me demonstrate again, listen carefully!”
When his assistant heard this, he quickly went forward to stop him in a low voice.” Ziheng, you can’t sing now. It will cause further damage.” Gu Ziheng was currently in a state of anger, so how could he stop him?
He could only stand outside and wait in fear.
Gu Ziheng’s demonstration soon came from the recording studio.
The assistant was hesitating whether to call Mr Gu and report it to him.
When he heard the voice, he couldn’t help but exclaim,” Eh?” Then, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and pressed his ear against the glass of the recording studio with a serious expression.
After listening carefully for a moment, his eyes widened.
His facial expression shifted from initial worry and seriousness to surprise, disbelief, and finally uncontrollable joy.
When Gu Ziheng came out of the recording studio with an unpleasant expression, the assistant immediately rushed up and held him.
“Ziheng, you…”
“I’m fine.”
Gu Ziheng thought he was being asked if singing earlier had caused damage to his vocal cords, so he responded directly and pushed him away.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to the student,” When you sing, you need to use your diaphragm. You have to inhale slowly into your abdomen through your nose, then make a sound from your abdomen. You don’t have to scream and howl with your throat.l’ll give you another day. If you still can’t remember or learn it next time, you can just pack up and leave with your things.”
He chased the student back to continue practicing and was about to call the next student.
The assistant quickly stepped forward and stopped him again.”Ziheng, listen to me.”
Gu Ziheng raised his hand and pinched his throbbing forehead.” I said I’m fine.” He was no longer a celebrity and did not need a manager.
Ji Tang was the little assistant that his second brother had specially arranged for him to take care of his daily life and help him with his work.
Usually, he would make a fuss over small matters, afraid that if he did not take good care of him, Second Brother would find him to settle the score.
“I’m not asking about that.”
Ji Tang waved his hand and asked excitedly,” I wanted to ask you if your throat still hurt when you were singing just now.
Do you feel better?”
When he asked this question, Gu Ziheng finally felt that there was indeed a little difference.
He calmed down and carefully felt the feeling in his throat.
In the past two years, he had tried to sing again, but his vocal cords were seriously damaged in that accident.
Every time he tried to sing again, his throat would start hurting badly before he could finish singing a song.
Just now, even though he did not finish singing the entire song, his throat was still hurting. However, compared to the past, it was so painful that he did not even want to speak. This time, it was considered better.
He raised his hand and touched his throat, carefully feeling it once again. Then, with a hoarse voice, he spoke up.
“It seems… it does feel slightly better than before.”
Upon hearing his confirmation, Ji Tang became even more excited. He hurriedly pulled him to the recording equipment, turned on the buttons, and played the recording of the song he had just recorded in the studio.
“Listen carefully, see if your voice has also improved compared to before.”
The recording played without any accompanying music, just his clear singing voice.
A deep and husky voice, tinged with a subtle electric current flowing through the room.
Ji Tang frantically brought up the recording of his previous singing.
By comparing the two, it became even clearer that the recent song had a noticeably cleaner and brighter tone, with less hoarseness.
This clear contrast made even Gu Ziheng’s breathing slightly unsteady.
Ji Tang asked excitedly, “Ziheng, did you find another famous doctor and take some miraculous medicine while you were home this time?”
Medicine?
Gu Ziheng furrowed his brows. He hadn’t seen a doctor or taken any medicine.
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and his whole body involuntarily stiffened.
It was Lu Miao!
Although he did not eat the bottle of Chinese medicine that Lu Miao had brought him, the bitter and fishy taste of the Chinese medicine had been stuck in his throat for a long time!
