The students who were a little far away didn't hear this sentence, but Qi Feng and Jiang Ying, who were so close, could hear it clearly.

Jiang Ying was surprised. She rarely got a chance for this little guy. She didn't have time to be happy with other children, but he said he would give up just now... The key is that his performance just now was not bad, so why did he abstain?

She curiously said, "Can you give me a reason?"

Ling Ke lowered his eyes, and the excitement in his heart had not subsided, but reason had returned.

Because he didn't perform well, Qi Feng cooperated with him throughout the whole process. If there were no Qi Feng, it would be a failed performance, a one-man show just to vent his selfish desires.

What is the difference between him like this and the boy who was eliminated just now?

The harsh applause from the audience seemed to highlight Qi Feng's contribution. If Qi Feng had to rely on Qi Feng's help to continue standing on this stage, his self-esteem would be difficult to accept.

But Ling Ke couldn't say anything about these reasons, and he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Qi Feng.

So he stood on the stage so stubbornly, showing off his rebellious armor and said, "I don't like performing on stage."

This swaying sentence in the sky made Qi Feng next to him calm down.

Jiang Ying was also a little stunned. She stared at Ling Ke for two seconds and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ling Ke: "..."

Jiang Ying stared at him and asked with a smile: "How do you know that I will definitely admit you?"

After hearing this, Ling Ke's face suddenly burned, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground!

Even Qi Feng on the side frowned, his expression a little subtle.

Jiang Ying ignored them, turned around and made a "elimination" gesture to the selection seat.

The audience was in an uproar. Although the two guys seemed to have a backstage, their performances had been recognized by many people. Why did they still abstain?

"I know that when this classmate stayed, many people were doubting the fairness of the activity... I want to borrow this matter to say a few words to you." Jiang Ying took elegant steps and paced under the stage, while saying to the group of half-sized children, "Just just now, this classmate didn't find a suitable partner, so I gave him a chance to perform. Do you think his luck came out of thin air?"

The eyes of a group of people were involuntarily following Jiang Ying's figure, and were frightened by the other party's momentum, and they didn't dare to show their momentum.

"No, if we give any of the candidates here a special opportunity in the future, it only means that this classmate has advantages that attract us," Jiang Ying paused and continued, "including the boy who just complained about the unfair competition, maybe you also think that he is not lucky, but is he just not lucky enough? No, he is just not outstanding enough."

She stopped, raised her arms and looked at them and said, "This is what I hope you understand. The stage of acting is unfair. Sometimes, what you think is 'luck' is also part of your strength. So, please walk with a normal mind and don't target anyone. On this stage, you only have two ways - either make yourself strong enough or accept the results calmly."

Her tone was very gentle, but every word she said was worth a fortune, as if she used a hammer to punch every word into Ling Ke's heart.

Ling Ke's brain buzzed. He didn't expect Jiang Ying to take the opportunity to beat other candidates by taking advantage of his "abuse". But at the same time, his blood was also boiling because of this sentence.

He knew nothing was fair, and his parents often mentioned it in front of him. Ling Ke was always upset. Although there was some subtle influence, it had little effect.

But it was not until this moment that he suddenly felt awakened!

Although Jiang Ying's words were said to everyone, Ling Ke seemed to be explaining them to himself.

This woman is so amazing that she can see through the twists and turns in his mind with just one look.

Yes, the reason he abstained was that he was not strong enough.

He didn't want to stand on this stage with the luck he picked up, the clumsy provocation, and Qi Feng's tolerance, and the applause from others.

He was afraid, so instead of being eliminated, he would rather give up the right.

Jiang Ying turned around and looked at Ling Ke again, with a gentle smile and encouraging look, saying, "If you have this kind of performance next time, I will admit you. When you get the right to choose, let's talk to me about abstention."

Ling Ke felt ashamed and guilty, but he was also promising to Jiang Ying's guidance.

He put away his thorns all over his body, like a tamed little beast, and nodded obediently.

The talent show ended, the advancers stayed and continued the next round of tests, and the eliminateds left in groups of three or three.

When Ling Ke walked out of the multi-purpose hall, a figure suddenly came up behind him: "Wow, Ling Ke, I only realized that you are so good at playing the piano!"

Ling Ke looked closely and realized that it was the bel canto man who came together. The other two girls couldn't wait and left first. Only he was still there. He walked around the TV station and sneaked into the multi-purpose hall, just in time for Ling Ke's performance.

Ling Ke came to the coin-operated beverage machine and ordered a can of Coke.

The bel canine man couldn't help but mutter, "Hey, why would he be eliminated if he plays so well? I guess there must be a shady scene!"

Ling Ke twitched the corner of his mouth. Didn’t this guy understand what Jiang Ying said just now?

"If you eliminate it, just eliminate it," Ling Ke said, "How far can I go with so many talented people?"

He did not tell the other party that he had proposed the "abuse" first, which was not something worth boasting about.

When he was about to leave the TV station, the bel canto man said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

The two of them went together, Ling Ke came out first and stood at the bathroom door waiting for him.

Two familiar girls passed by nearby, who were also eliminated, and were covering their faces and gossiping excitedly: "I heard that the handsome guy who played the violin just now is Teacher Jiang's son!"

"Ah? Really? Oh my God, no wonder he is so handsome and so outstanding... But Teacher Jiang looks so young, and he can't imagine that he has a son as old as us!"

"The hosts are all well maintained. Look at Yang Lan and Dong Qing, can you tell their age?"

The girls' voices quickly moved away with their bodies.

Ling Ke held the coke jar in his hand, and felt mixed emotions.

Well, now there is not only a Milky Way between him and Qi Feng, but also a goddess is missing.

...His father's.

Just as he was staring blankly, a pair of familiar shoes suddenly appeared in front of him. Ling Ke was stunned: Qi Feng had actually come to the bathroom as well.

"Hi," Qi Feng probably remembered the ensemble just now. He planned to say hello to Ling Ke, but he didn't know how to start. After a few seconds, he asked, "What's your name?"

When he heard this question again, the other party's eyes were tentative and curiosity similar to when he met for the first time, which made Ling Ke feel complicated.

He threw the empty coke bottle into the trash can not far away, took care of his bag, and left.

When passing by, Ling Gong threw four words out of his voice that only Qi Feng could hear: "I won't tell you."

The man: "..."

Ling Ke secretly swore that he must wait until he has enough ability before standing in front of Qi Feng with confidence, letting him face him and remember him, instead of saying names that may be forgotten at any time again and again.

After returning, Ling Ke found all the music scores and decided to continue practicing the piano.

The ensemble with Qi Feng seemed to rekindle his enthusiasm for the piano, and the grading exam had been completely over. He had no pressure. With his foundation, he could learn to play any score by himself.

In the next year of junior high school, Ling Ke relied on consciously to complete the works of Chopin and Beethoven.

He didn't have the conditions to learn so many things like Qi Feng, but at least he wanted to do what he had in front of him.

Including his studies, after returning from the TV station, Ling Ke also devoted a lot of energy to cultural classes. He was satisfied with his studies or not before, but now he has been hanging his head and has become the first in the grade in one go.

As long as he has no knowledge point, he will rush to practice the exercises until he is not afraid of any test.

In addition, Ling Ke also runs regularly and plays balls at regular intervals, and asks Ling’s mother to order fresh milk for herself, two bottles of it a day.

With the efforts of practice and the strong desire for consciousness, Ling Ke's development period finally came late.

In the last half of the third year of junior high school, his figure suddenly jumped more than ten centimeters, growing from a yellow-haired bamboo shoot to a green bamboo, and his facial features also stretched a lot, fading away his childishness, and turning into a handsome and handsome look that was unique to a young man.

He has good grades, handsome appearance, and can play the piano. Because of these characteristics, Ling Ke has countless suitors who have just fallen in love, and is even secretly called "male god" behind his back.

But Ling Ke didn't realize how outstanding he was, and only felt that these little girls had no knowledge.

If he is considered a "male god" like this, wouldn't he go crazy when they see Qi Feng?

When Ling Ke undergoes a complete transformation, only Ling’s father and mother are happy and worried about their son’s personality.

Yes, Ling Ke is too introverted, so introverted that he feels like he almost doesn't need socializing.

Although in the eyes of his classmates, this is called "coldness".

It is said that some people are still idle and have observed Ling Ke saying a few words to girls at school every week, but the result is that on average, less than ten sentences a week.

But he didn't talk much to his male friends who were good at getting along well, just twenty sentences a week.

However, in Chinese families, they have always been the first in grades. As long as they have good grades, there is nothing they can't tolerate.

Ling Ke did not take the high school entrance examination and was directly admitted to the best public key high school in the city. He also admitted to the school without tuition. This made Ling's parents very glorious.

As a reward, they gave Ling Ke the first smartphone in his life.

After the high school entrance examination, even Ling's mother's words of educating her son changed their style: "Xiao Ke, relax and relax when you have time. Chat with friends more, or find some games to play, don't keep your face tight."

In response, Ling Ke's reaction was to lift his eyelids without saying anything.

...The boy's thoughts are too difficult to guess.

After locking his parents out of the room, Ling Ke tickled his new phone and downloaded QQ.

Over the past year, he still often visits Qi Feng's space to see the photos of that guy.

Not long after the TV station came back that year, Ling Ke realized that his yearning and escape for Qi Feng's conflict was not only because of that short encounter and the perfection of the other party, but also because... he was a boy.

Yes, he realized that he liked boys.

Ling Ke naturally accepted this point without any struggle.

Perhaps he has transformed all his fear of sexual orientation into motivation for learning, or vented through playing the piano, so he did not doubt himself or the world as others have discovered that he is gay.

After two years of attention, Ling Ke didn't quite understand what Qi Feng meant to him.

In the past, he regarded the other party as a goal to motivate himself to make progress, but gradually, he found that he seemed to simply like the other party's appearance and was attracted by the other party.
