Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 60 Elbow, come inside with me.

When the host's skill reaches the Master level, the Incomplete Trait will be unlocked.

Seeing the system's prompt, Xu Jinyan opened her skill list.

And from this, three skills were selected:

[Singing ability: Expert (4100/6000)+];

[Cooking Skills: Professional (90/3000)+];

Tai Chi: Beginner (100/1000)+;

These are the three skills he has been most eager to improve. Singing is his strongest skill and is closest to master level. Cooking is to satisfy his appetite, and Tai Chi is to strengthen his body.

If he had been hesitant about where to invest his emotional points before, now he's directly focusing on his singing ability, wanting to see what special features he can unlock.

[Singing Skills: Expertise (4100/6000)+] — [Singing Skills: Expertise (5000/6000)];

In an instant, Xu Jinyan felt something strange in her body.

Looking back on the process of adding points, I didn't feel much difference when I first added a little to my singing skills;

After adding 100 points to my cooking skills the second time, I felt as if my body had gained some muscle memory, and my sense of taste, smell, and touch were slightly enhanced.

This time, Xu Jinyan's singing skills improved by nine hundred points in one go. He felt as if a pair of gentle little hands were giving a precise massage to the muscles in his throat.

There was a slight tingling and relaxing sensation throughout my throat and trachea.

At the same time, his tongue, cheeks, and chest were gently stroked, and the nerves in his head were also relaxed.

He subconsciously took a deep breath and felt his breath sink deeper, stretch more, and become more stable.

After the strange feeling disappeared, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although the pleasure was only fleeting, it made him forget all his troubles in that instant.

Nine million? Worth it!

……

"Annie, isn't Ms. Xu here?"

October 27, 2015, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Backstage at the No. 1 Dome Theater of the China Overseas International Convention and Exhibition Center, Tian Xiwei pushed open Xu Jinyan's private dressing room and only saw Annie sitting to the side playing on her phone.

"Teacher Xu had just finished her makeup when she saw a friend and went over to say hello."

"oh."

So Xiaotian sat down next to Annie and chatted with her, since Annie didn't have her own dressing room anyway.

Based on their friendship of "if we become rich and powerful, we will not forget each other," she didn't consider herself an outsider at all.

Then, as if casually, she asked, "Did Teacher Xu run into Teacher Nanfeng?"

Annie shook her head: "No, do you know Zhou Jielun? Teacher Xu went to see him."

"Jay Chou, that genius magician?"

"Um."

Inside Zhou Jielun's dressing room, Xu Jinyan held a small red ball in her palm, clenched her fist, and blew on it.

When I opened my hand again, the ball had disappeared.

Jay Chou gave a certain degree of approval: "Hey, not bad!"

Then, Xu Jinyan pulled the missing red ball out of Zhou Jielun's shirt pocket.

Those around him, including Jay Chou, gave him a round of applause as a sign of encouragement for the musical prodigy's hard work in learning magic.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, Xu Jinyan thought to herself: You guys don't know anything! Even Zhou Jielun couldn't pull off this magic trick!

Zhou Jielun nodded: "He's really quite good, very talented."

He hadn't observed very carefully, but the result was indeed quite good.

Of course, it's also fortunate that he didn't observe carefully, otherwise he would have questioned the meaning of life.

Xu Jinyan smiled slightly: "Actually, I've loved magic since I was a child, but unfortunately my father forced me to practice piano, which led me to the path of music."

At this moment, Jay Chou truly felt like he had met a kindred spirit. Does he even know what it means to feel like an old friend at first sight?

He said regretfully, "We are similar yet opposite. I also loved magic since I was a child, but my mother supported me and often took me to see close-up magic performances. Later, my grades didn't go well, so magic was the only path I could take."

Xu Jinyan suddenly realized and asked, "So, do you like music?"

"Music? I love it!" he said, looking excitedly at Xu Jinyan. "Guess which of your songs I like the most?"

Which of Jay Chou's songs do you like to listen to the most? Do you even need to think about the answer?

"The next magic trick—mind reading," Xu Jinyan said slowly, staring into his eyes. "Now, it's time to witness a miracle..."

Everyone around Xu Jinyan laughed when they heard her recite Zhou Jielun's classic line.

"Your favorite song is... Huo Yuanjia!"

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Jielun, and were surprised to find that Zhou Jielun was also surprised.

Was this a correct guess?

Everyone's attention then turned to Xu Jinyan.

Xu Jinyan smiled slightly, remaining silent and pretending to be an expert!

Jay Chou clapped with a smile: "Mind reading is amazing. Teach me sometime."

Xu Jinyan: Sure, we can play basketball together sometime.

Zhou Jielun shook his head, then raised his hand: "A magician's hand can't play basketball."

"Oh! That's such a pity. We'll have milk tea together sometime."

"Wow! How did you know I like milk tea? You can't really read minds, can you, hahaha?"

In his view, Xu Jinyan must be his fan, otherwise she wouldn't know him so well, and he is also her fan, so it can be considered a mutual attraction.

Afterwards, the two congratulated each other on the success of the live broadcast performance that night, and Xu Jinyan left with Lin Wanqing.

On her way back to the dressing room, every young singer she saw would greet Xu Jinyan kindly, and Xu Jinyan would stop and exchange a few words with her.

This made him realize that his current status was indeed extraordinary, which made him and Lin Wanqing, who was next to him, secretly feel pleased.

"Hey, bro."

"I like your 'Huo Yuanjia,' the rap in it has a great feel."

Xu Jinyan looked at the somewhat familiar young man and maintained a polite smile, saying, "Thank you."

At the same time, he quickly searched his mind for who this person was; he looked really familiar.

Lin Wanqing noticed the situation and felt a little displeased. Didn't they greet each other without their manager or introduce themselves?

She whispered a reminder: "Be careful, this is Wang Linkai, who debuted with '9%'."

Seeing this, Wang Linkai, who was standing next to him, was displeased. "Such a big shot, huh?"

But she still forced a smile and said, "Have you been listening to rap lately? We can play music together sometime."

[Negative emotions from Wang Linkai: +399]

Xu Jinyan was also a little surprised when she recognized him. He looked a little different, but his temperament was very similar. He truly deserves to be called a patriot in the entertainment industry.

He laughed and said, "I've been listening to Guo Degang's rap lately."

Then he turned around and left.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but laugh and followed after them.

[Negative emotions from Wang Linkai: +899]

"Sister Wanqing, didn't you think my answer just now was really 'Thai-style hot'?"

Lin Wanqing had just stopped smiling when she couldn't help but laugh again: "You know him?"

Xu Jinyan: "Now that you mention it, I remember, he's Chicken Bro's teammate!"

Lin Wanqing: "I heard that his team is now preparing him to imitate Cai Xukun and take the route of being controversial yet popular."

Xu Jinyan shook her head: "Brother Chicken is the only one!"

Looking at his serious, almost solemn expression, Lin Wanqing covered her mouth with her hand once again.

"Hey, what are you chatting about that makes you so happy?"

Just then, a baby voice came from the side, and Yang Mi and Dilraba walked out of her dressing room.

"Honey, Dilraba, long time no see." Xu Jinyan greeted her with a smile, and it had indeed been two months since they last met.

However, these two are truly inseparable. From this perspective, Sister Mi has indeed been supporting Dilraba, taking her everywhere she goes, like a pendant.

This has indeed boosted Dilraba's popularity, and I heard that there will be a dance performance by Dilraba on the show tonight.

When Dilraba saw Xu Jinyan suddenly appear, her heart started racing. To this day, she still didn't know what he and Sister Mi had talked about that day.

She didn't even dare to ask.

Dilraba carefully observed Xu Jinyan's expression and realized that he really seemed to know nothing, which made her feel even more guilty.

Meanwhile, Yang Mi was also observing Xu Jinyan's expression, which was surprisingly calm.

They haven't spoken since that conversation at the airport.

She was determined to uncover the truth of the matter on her own.

Now, while she's out promoting her work every day, she occasionally looks back at the chat logs she took at the time, but she just can't find any flaws in her story.

She had suspected that someone had tipped off Xu Jinyan at the airport, but the incident happened so suddenly that Dilraba's handing over of her phone and her thoughts were subconscious.

Even if others saw this scene, they wouldn't know who Dilraba was chatting with on her phone.

Even today, when she looks at this man again, she sees the sincerity and composure in his smile.

Forget it, if I keep thinking about it, my hairline is already receding. I'll just ask her directly!

"Elbow, come inside with me."
