Chapter 187: Encountering a Female Star

"Yes, I practice every day."

Murong Xue was afraid that Xu Tian would think she wasn't working hard enough, so she explained hurriedly.

"Hmm, I can see that you have been working hard to improve your singing techniques during this period, but sometimes singing isn't just about improving techniques." Xu Tian saw Murong Xue's blank expression and frowned slightly, thinking about how to give the other party an example to explain.

After a moment, he spoke again:

"For example, you know there are many virtual singers now, but when you listen to them sing, you always feel a sense of dissonance that you can't describe. Do you know why?"

"Hmm..."

Murong Xue thought for a moment and replied: "Because those virtual singers are just a program or a string of code, not a real person singing..."

"Ah!"

Murong Xue suddenly realized: "Brother Xu, I understand! Virtual singers have no emotions!"

"When you can't balance emotion and technique, don't worry too much about singing skills; that will be counterproductive."

Xu Tian saw that Murong Xue understood immediately and nodded with satisfaction: "What's more, your singing skills are not bad. If you pursue perfection too much, you will become distorted and nervous."

"I understand, then I'll sing it again." Murong Xue was about to replay the accompaniment.

"No need, let's stop here for today."

Xu Tian raised his hand to look at the time: "I'll send you back to the dormitory."

"Also, besides warming up your voice every morning, don't practice for more than an hour every day."

"The re-examination selection is coming soon. You must keep your voice in the best state and not be overly tired."

Murong Xue nodded obediently: "Okay, I remember."

After sending Murong Xue back to the dormitory, Xu Tian also went to the apartment to pack a few changes of clothes.

Because paparazzi often squatted around the apartment, Xu Tian specifically wore a mask when going out so as not to give Tang family high-level officials a chance to make an issue of his profession.

There was a popular snack shop near the apartment. Xu Tian thought of Tang Bingyan's resistant expression when taking medicine, so he planned to bring some small snacks back for her.

Because it was a popular snack shop, there were many people queuing, and Xu Tian waited in line at the door for more than forty minutes before being allowed to enter the shop.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you need?"

The shop assistant girl took the tray and followed Xu Tian, introducing him from time to time: "This is our shop's signature product, strawberry Napoleon, limited to two hundred per day, and there are only two left now. Do you need them?"

"Please help me pack both of them." Xu Tian remembered that Tang Bingyan didn't hate strawberries.

He thought for a while and asked the shop assistant again: "Do you have any low-sugar snacks in your shop?"

"The baking ingredients used in our shop are 70% dark chocolate, absolutely no cocoa butter substitutes. There are samples here, you can taste them."

The sample cake was cut into pieces, only the size of a coin, and was handed over by the shop assistant girl on a toothpick.

Xu Tian took the toothpick, pulled the mask down slightly, and quickly sent the cake into his mouth.

The shop assistant girl saw the lower half of Xu Tian's face. Although it was only for a moment, it still made her scream like a groundhog in her heart.

So handsome!

Really too handsome!

Could this be some star?

And just as she was staring at Xu Tian in a daze, Xu Tian had already put the mask back on.

"Pack them together."

The shop assistant recovered from the amazement of Xu Tian's appearance and hurriedly packed the things: "A total of one hundred and twenty. Do you need a gift box?"

"Okay."

After Xu Tian paid and checked out, the shop assistant sent the pink paper bag into his hands.

He looked at this pink packaging bag and suddenly had a headache.

Now he wasn't sure if Tang Bingyan would like this gift.

After all, according to Tang Bingyan's aura like an ice queen, it really had nothing to do with these pink and tender things.

However, just as he took the paper bag and was about to leave, he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him.

"What? Strawberry Napoleon is sold out?"

"Sorry, the last two pieces were just bought by that gentleman."

Xu Tian subconsciously looked sideways and saw a young woman standing not far away who was also wearing a mask.

The woman was not only wearing a mask, but also had a fisherman hat on her head. She was wearing a light gray sportswear, and the whole person was wrapped tightly.

However, even so, it couldn't hide the woman's standard S-shaped figure with a protruding front and a warped back.

Looking at it, she should be a star.

Xu Tian quickly deduced the other party's identity in his heart. After all, according to this woman's fully armed dress with even her eyes blocked under the brim of the hat, if she wasn't a star, she could only be a wanted criminal.

"Then make a few more for me. I'll pack all the ones from the same batch."

"Sorry, ma'am, strawberry Napoleon is a limited product in the shop and cannot be added. If you want to buy it, you can only wait until tomorrow."

"But I want to eat it today."

The woman curled her lips unhappily: "How can a piece of snack be limited..."

She used to let her assistant buy whatever she wanted to eat, and she really didn't know that the signature dessert in this snack shop was also limited.

"Really sorry..."

The shop assistant girl seemed to be used to guests who were disappointed because they couldn't buy signature snacks, and very skillfully gave a response plan:

"How about this, ma'am, I'm sorry to let you make a wasted trip. How about I secretly save one for you after the strawberry Napoleon is made tomorrow, and you come to get it before I get off work, okay?"

The woman sighed: "I don't have time tomorrow..."

However, since the shop assistant said she wouldn't make it, she didn't want to continue pestering.

However, just as she turned around and prepared to leave, her gaze suddenly fell on the paper bag in Xu Tian's hand, and the big strawberry pattern on the paper bag.

The specific paper bag for strawberry Napoleon!

It was this person who bought two pieces at once!

How can a big man love snacks so much, and eat two pieces at once!

After Xu Tian walked out of the snack shop, he still felt a resentful gaze falling on him.

He looked back and saw the young woman who was just in the shop standing not far away staring at him. Seeing him look back, she even covered up and looked around, pretending to be waiting for someone.

Xu Tian turned around and continued to walk forward, still able to feel that gaze following him.

Through the sunglasses, he could feel the other party's resentment.

If she took off her sunglasses, Xu Tian even felt that the bag he was carrying would be burned out by this woman's gaze.

It's just a limited edition snack, not to that extent, right?

Xu Tian couldn't understand this kind of behavior. There are so many snack shops in Jiangcheng. Besides this one, can't other places buy strawberry Napoleon?

But even if you can't buy it, you can change the flavor!

It must be said that it is really a bit difficult for a straight man like Xu Tian to understand the disappointment of wanting to eat something but not being able to eat it no matter what. ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
