Qiao Jingjing even imitated Northeastern dialect and said, "Oh my god."
"I didn't dodge. If you're so capable, come and kiss me here."
Qiao Yu pointed at his mouth, looking annoyed.
Qiao Jingjing hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly I looked up, and it skimmed the water like a dragonfly.
"Cough cough..."
The soft, chewy texture separates instantly upon touch.
Looking at Qiao Jingjing's rosy cheeks, Qiao Yu suddenly had an instinctive stress response.
Knowing things were going badly, he immediately changed the subject, "Qiao Jingjing, stop speaking in your Northeastern accent, it sounds awful."
Qiao Jingjing pursed her lips, feeling a bit uncomfortable under her.
The siblings subtly distanced themselves, acting as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the awkwardness subsided.
Without Qiao Yu's prompting, Qiao Jingjing enthusiastically declared that she wanted to practice singing (to Li Zhao).
A surge of lofty ambitions and boiling blood.
Qiao Yu was responsible for correcting and training her.
"The voice here must not tremble; it must be succinctly delivered in one breath."
"No, no, the voice is too loud. It's not time for you to explode yet."
"Before the rhythm begins, it must be slow, sad, and somber."
"I told you not to tremble, why are you trembling again?"
"Hey, Qiao Jingjing, are you even capable? You've wasted such a good voice."
"It's not high when it should be high, and it's not low when it should be low. What do you want?"
"His expression wasn't engaging enough, and his voice was too stiff. It didn't sound like he was singing; it sounded like a turtle chanting scriptures."
"The most charming thing about singing is that it can touch people's hearts."
"But I didn't see any emotional investment on your face at all."
"Jingjing, this is a rock love song. If you're too energetic, it won't work, and if you're too sentimental, it won't have any flavor."
"Or you might as well just quit 'I Am a Singer' on your own. There's nothing I can do about you, you piece of trash."
Having fighting spirit is good, but reality is always full of hardships.
This song is easy to sing, but hard to sing well.
Qiao Yu was not satisfied with any of the explanations.
Poor Qiao Jingjing's voice became hoarse.
"Stop, stop, stop. Take a half-hour break and give your voice a rest."
Qiao Yu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and shook his head in exasperation.
Qiao Jingjing was both angry and aggrieved.
He slumped onto the sofa in frustration and gulped down a mouthful of water.
"There are still a few days left. Keep practicing, sis. I have faith in you."
Qiao Yu felt that he shouldn't add to her negative emotions.
We shouldn't discourage my sister's enthusiasm.
If this girl gives up and acts recklessly, he'll be the one in deep trouble.
Qiao Jingjing has a criminal record.
When I was in junior high school, the academic pressure was too great.
Qiao Jingjing's grades steadily declined for a period of time.
The teachers and parents kept yelling in her ear.
Tell her to work hard and keep going.
I can't let my studies slip, and I can't be a good-for-nothing like my younger brother.
But no matter how hard Qiao Jingjing tried, there was no improvement.
His academic performance has declined instead of improved.
After being under immense pressure for most of the semester, she decided to give up entirely, sleeping in class and spending weekends online with Qiao Yu.
.......
85 people don't think Qiao Jingjing is a good match; Xia Qing doesn't eat ice cream.
It was during that time that she learned to play video games, though she was terrible at them but extremely addicted.
Half a semester and a summer vacation passed in this way.
After the start of the school year, both parents gave up on treatment.
However, she surprised everyone by ranking third in the entire grade in the midterm exam.
My parents were overjoyed.
So my older sister is someone who can't handle pressure.
If you give her a safe and comfortable environment, her IQ can remain at a normal level.
She broke down when pressured too much.
The idea that "the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation" is utter nonsense.
Not everyone has an unwavering will.
"I'm being too demanding. It's my first time singing, so it's impossible to be perfect. I'll just practice more."
"With more practice, my sister will become highly skilled and adept, and she'll be able to defeat Li Xueliang in no time."
Qiao Yu changed his approach, coaxing Qiao Jingjing like a child.
But my older sister is really susceptible to this.
Qiao Jingjing nodded, humming and hawing.
Her expression clearly said, "Brother, you're right. I'm just that amazing."
The show premiered on Friday.
During the day, Qiao Yu stayed at home alone.
Su Jinbei went to work, while Qiao Jingjing was summoned home by her mother's phone call yesterday.
She left after the show was finished.
When she received the call, Qiao Jingjing was so scared she almost peed her pants.
She gripped her younger brother's hand tightly, as if it were the end of the world.
"What should I do? My parents are pressuring me to go on blind dates again. It's so annoying..."
Qiao Yu was speechless.
But with his sister so incompetent, he, as a man, couldn't appear too cowardly.
So he answered the phone: "Mom, what's up?"
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the Empress Dowager simply told her, "Have your sister answer the phone."
"okay."
Qiao Yu immediately chickened out and handed the phone to her.
Qiao Jingjing first glared at her younger brother, then took a deep breath.
Finally, when answering the phone, hesitantly said, "Mom."
"Come home tomorrow."
My mother's voice held an unusual resolve.
Qiao Jingjing felt a chill run down her spine.
Qiao Yu looked to his younger brother for help, but pretended not to see it.
"What is it, Mom?"
With her younger brother so incompetent, Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to shoulder the burden herself.
My mom revealed, "I've introduced you to someone. He's handsome, talented, and successful. He's 28 years old, owns three houses and two cars, and I heard he's the vice president of an entertainment company. He's practically in the same industry as your dad, so he and your dad have common interests. Your dad thinks he's a good match."
Qiao Jingjing frowned, and Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed.
After a pause, Qiao Jingjing said softly, "I thought it was something serious. Okay, I'll go over tomorrow and meet them."
Seeing her agree so readily, her mother was dumbfounded. "Huh, you agreed so quickly today?"
“Mmm,” Qiao Jingjing said obediently, “I’m about the right age, and I can’t let you worry about me every day. If you like someone, then let’s look at them together.”
My mother was immediately moved.
Tears welled up in the eyes of the person on the other end of the phone. "My Jingjing has really grown up."
Qiao Yu stood to one side.
Thinking to myself... It's all because you two spoiled me.
So, is Qiao Jingjing really going on a blind date?
Why can't I believe it?
The mother and daughter hung up the phone.
Qiao Jingjing let out a long breath, "That almost scared me to death."
