Low Key Star

  Chapter 122 [122] Stepping Cat

  Last night, I made a mistake in a hurry. The full version of "Thousands of Miles Away" was 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The time given by Jiang Mo was five minutes, which has been corrected.

  ——

  Xia Hai returned to the studio, Zhang Yang and Lin were still rehearsing, but Ling Ran and the ugly duo looked over, and the short man asked, "How is it?"

  Xia Hai said calmly, "Five minutes."

  When these words came out, even Ling Ran was taken aback.

  The opening of the finals is just a process. The singing time of each student ranges from one minute to two minutes, depending on the program and guests, but basically it will be controlled within one minute and thirty seconds.

   It was basically impossible to give Zhang Yang four minutes to finish singing, but Xia Hai called back, and the time was actually extended.

   In this way, not only the ugly duo admired Xia Hai, but Ling Ran also admired Xia Hai in his heart.

  She only joined this season. She really didn't expect Xia Hai to have such a weight in the program group, and she could extend Zhang Yang's opening performance to five minutes by herself.

  Although Xia Hai is a little dazed until now, seeing the expressions of several people, he still feels secretly refreshed.

  After Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran finished singing, Xia Hai told the story, Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran thanked each other, but there was no sign of surprise or surprise.

Xia Hai, who had been looking forward to the shock of the two, was a little disappointed. He thought that the two children did not know how to do it, and they did not realize how much preferential treatment they had received, let alone how rare it was and how much work they needed to achieve this level. energy.

  However, vanity is in nature, but Xia Hai is not a person who loves vanity and flattery. He also sincerely appreciates publicity, so he doesn't care about it. Rehearsal is the real thing.

   Zhang Yang still has three other competition tracks to rehearse. "Thousands of Miles Away" naturally can't take too much time, and there is no chime, which is somewhat of a pity, so after rehearsing a few times, he changed to other songs.

  Lin still misses his cat, listened to him sing "I'll Have You in My Life", satisfied, and went home.

  When we parted yesterday, Zhang Yang gave her one of the three sets of keys on the grounds that "the keys need to be opened separately." Lin still hesitated and took it.

   Just need it now.

She first went to the pet store to buy new cat litter, cat food, rice bowls, scratching boards, climbing frames, and toys, stuffed them in the trunk, and then went home and hugged the unadopted blue and white , sent to Zhang Yang's rented house.

  While waiting for the elevator downstairs, I happened to meet Zhang Zining and her mother who had returned from an outside audition. Seeing Lin still carrying a kitten, the little girl was very happy and kept playing with it through the cat cage.

Lin still bought a lot of things, and the weight was nothing to Yuan Tong, but it was hard to carry. Lin still carried the cat, and also helped to carry the scattered things. Zhang's mother also helped to carry some things, one piece Into the house.

Seeing that the little girl loves kittens very much, Lin Yiran was reluctant to leave, so she invited her to play here for a while. Mother Zhang also had a good impression of this beautiful and well-bred girl, so she stayed with her daughter to help with the details. Set up cat litter boxes, food bowls, climbing frames and the like.

  Teasing cats and chatting like this, unconsciously for more than half an hour, Yuan Tong checked the time and reminded like a robot: "Miss, it's time to go home."

  When Lin was still getting along with Zhang Yang, he would not have reminded him so easily, but now there was nothing important, so naturally he did not have such scruples.

  Seeing this, Zhang’s mother pulled her daughter to say goodbye. Lin Yiran saw that the little girl was still looking at the kitten reluctantly before leaving, and said that she would come back tomorrow, and she would definitely call her over then.

  After Zhang Zining's mother and daughter left, Lin Yiran played with the kitten for a while before going home. When he saw Zhang Yang's unread news, he remembered an important thing: choose a name!

   Zhang Yang naturally has no objection to the cat's name, and it's not easy to show his indifference, so he casually named it two names: hee hee and ha ha.

  Lin still thought it was ugly, so he thought of two names: Liu Chou and Jian Xue.

   And explained that the first name is Ci Pai, because it is not good-looking, and it means fighting poison with poison, and the second name is because its hair is mostly gray-blue, with white intervals.

   Zhang Yang also explained his two names, hoping that it would be happy and bring joy to the owner.

  Then they started complaining about each other’s name, which was too vulgar and too bad. In the end, no one could convince the other. In the end, Zhang Yang exercised the right of the head of the family and made a final decision: It’s up to you!

  Lin still thought about it and decided to call it haha.

  She named the cat, and she was very happy. In addition, there was a Yinchao semi-final to watch at night, and she always smiled and had a big appetite when eating.

Seeing their daughter happy, Lin Canghai and Su Hui couldn't help being happy even though they knew they had nothing to do with Zhang Yang. While chatting, Su Hui said, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you posted a post on the Internet to find someone to adopt that litter of cats?" ?How's it going?"

Lin Yiran then said that Yang Yuting saw her post and asked her cousin to adopt two cats on her behalf. When she mentioned this, she remembered her doubts in the morning: "When she said it, she meant 'elders in the family', not Mom and Dad, doesn't she live with Mom and Dad? Dad, do you know?"

  Lin Canghai glanced at his daughter-in-law before replying, "Her parents have passed away a long time ago."

"what?"

  Lin was still a little surprised, Su Hui sighed, and said: "It's good for you to know about her, but you are not allowed to tell others, let alone mention it in front of her, understand?"

  Lin was still puzzled and didn't understand why his parents were so serious, but he nodded in response.

  Su Hui saw the girl's doubts, hesitated, sighed, and said: "That Yang Yuting's identity is a little sensitive, you don't need to know these things for now, let alone be curious."

After a pause, she continued: "She lost her mother and father when she was young, and she was born with a terminal illness. She can't live to be twenty years old, so she has a very weird temper and is capricious. If I had known that she was learning calligraphy from Mr. Gu, I would have been scared." won't let you go."

  Lin Canghai frowned, showing a rare seriousness at home, even a stern expression, and said, "Why do you say such things?"

  Lin was still a little surprised, not only shocked by Yang Yuting's life experience, but also surprised by his father's seriousness, turned his head and looked at his mother, afraid that she would be angry.

Su Hui glanced at her husband, then smiled at her daughter, and said softly: "Okay, your father doesn't like to hear it, so it's fine for mother not to mention it. I'm telling you this so that you can be careful, and don't violate other people's taboos." Self-knowledge."

  After thinking about it for a while, he warned again: "Associating with her has no effect, but it's best not to be too deep or too close, not because I'm afraid of getting into trouble, but..."

Su Hui sighed again, "She was the same age as you, and she was born half a year later. She is almost seventeen years old, and there are still a few years before she turns twenty... With your personality, you have really dated a lot and become friends. When the time comes... "

  Lin still nodded silently without making a sound.

  Aunt Kong sighed and said, "That's right, the five blessings..."

   "Five Blessings" is the name of the orange cat Su Hui raised. Aunt Kong probably thought it was inappropriate to mention half a sentence, so she stopped talking.

  Actually, Aunt Kong is much older than Su Hui, even if she doesn't have the talent, how could she not even think about it? When he mentioned this, he actually knew that Lin still wanted to raise a cat, so he tactfully helped her make love to Su Hui.

  At the beginning, the orange cat "lived forever", it was natural for Su Hui to feel sad, but he was not too sad. On the contrary, Lin was still crying and fell ill.

  Su Hui didn't know whether he felt soft-hearted when he thought of this, or he had long thought of "opening the net". After a pause, he asked, "Where are the other cats?"

  Lin still said truthfully: "There is another person who wants to raise a big cat and a kitten. He should come to fetch the cat later."

  Su Hui asked again: "Isn't there another one?"

Lin still hesitated, Su Hui saw her appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to raise it, you can take it home, so as not to complain in your heart that mother is hard-hearted and unreasonable. I picked up the five blessings back then. Isn't it the same as raising it for a lifetime?"

  Lin Yiran glanced at his mother, picked up a chopstick of potato shreds, and buried his head in the rice with a guilty conscience.

  Su Hui felt suspicious and asked, "Why, you don't want to raise it anymore?"

  Lin still said vaguely: "No."

   "Then I'll bring you home later."

  Lin still glanced at his mother, and continued to lower his head to eat, his cheeks were a little red, "No need."

  Su Hui looked carefully and asked, "Is someone adopted?"

   "Forget it..."

  Su Hui put down his chopsticks, stared at his daughter intently, and asked, "What do you mean by forget it?"

  Lin continued to pick up vegetables, and said calmly: "I kept it in another place."

  Su Hui stared at her for two seconds, sighed, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to eat, but did not eat the food, put down the chopsticks again, and sighed again.

  Lin Canghai wondered: "What kind of maneuver are you mother and daughter playing? Where is the cat? Where is your brother?"

  Su Hui said unhappily: "What are you raising? She took the cat as a stepping stone!"

  Lin Canghai said "Ah" with a puzzled look on his face, but Aunt Kong seemed to have guessed something and smiled slightly.

  Lin Yiran's cell phone rang, but she didn't even look at it, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "The cat fetcher is here, you eat first, I'll be over soon."

  Aunt Kong smiled and said: "It's getting late, I'll go and have a look." She also got up and went.

  Lin Canghai still didn't understand, so he had to ask his wife: "Where did that cat go? What kind of stepping?"

  Su Hui sighed helplessly, "You forgot what I told her? You can go forward, but you can't cross the line. Why don't she use the cat to take a few extra steps."

  Lin Canghai was stunned for a moment, and finally understood: "The cat was adopted by Zhang Yang?"

   "Adopt a fur!"

After Su Hui finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, and put on a stern face, "The ones she sent over are pretty much the same. In this way, won't you be able to go to Zhang Yang's place to look at the cats in the future? You ask her, she still I have something to say, you guys didn't let me keep cats at home, so I had to put the cats at Zhang Yang's place..."

  When Lin Canghai heard this, he lost his appetite instantly. He put down his chopsticks, but laughed again, looked at his wife and said, "It's your own daughter..."
