Chapter 146 Nice Skin
Kim Taeyeon didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After bowing to Zheng Xiuheng, she stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you for the song you recommended last time. We sang GOD's "A Candle" and it really passed all the tests, except... well, anyway, thank you so much, senior!"
I thought something was wrong with the kid, but I didn't expect it was because of this.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng was also helpless. Kim Taeyeon did have some perseverance. She would occasionally send text messages to Zheng Xiuheng during this period, of course, all for advice, because the two had an agreement. Before that, Zheng Xiuheng had no reason to stop the other party, and he didn't want to do that. Because of the incident with Zheng Xiuyan, his mentality had also changed slightly.
He really hopes that someone in SM can take care of Xiujing and Xiuyan. As far as he knows, the girl named Park Renjing is good, but unfortunately she has left SM. However, Zheng Xiuheng's understanding of Kim Taeyeon is only one-sided, so it is just his idea for the time being, and he has not said anything.
It was Kim Taeyeon who talked about the song selection for the test, because everyone was about to quarrel, and Jung Soo-heng asked Kim Taeyeon about it out of curiosity and some reasons of concern, because it was not a big secret, and Kim Taeyeon knew that Jung Soo-heng was Soo-jung's brother and the person she wanted to be his apprentice, so she told him.
There are ten people in a group, and it is absolutely impossible for each of them to have equal strength. Even if all ten people are very distinctive, there will still be strengths and weaknesses. For such a test, several people will be eliminated if you are not careful.
Zheng Xiuheng is not sure about the level of Zheng Xiuyan's ability as she has been a trainee for six or seven years, but he does not want her to be eliminated because of this incident. Although Zheng Xiuheng agrees with Zheng Xiuyan's statement of not contacting her, he will not really ignore her in action.
It’s not that Zheng Xiuheng likes to be sentimental. Just like in many families, when children or elderly parents lose their temper and say they want to sever ties with their parents or say they don’t want them to care about them anymore, will they really stop caring about them?
Of course not, but Zheng Xiuheng and Zheng Xiuyeon are not biological siblings. Zheng Xiuheng agreed with Zheng Xiuyeon's words to some extent, so Zheng Xiuheng was more like paying off a debt to Zheng Xiuyeon at this moment, but his heart was not as miserable as before.
In this way, Zheng Xiuheng proposed another way of performing, which is not to go the technical route, but to start from the emotional and natural aspects.
After the JYP audition, although it was only half a day, Zheng Xiuheng quickly realized what kind of singers the Korean entertainment industry needs. Leaving aside the actor aspect, in the company's testing and selection, if one's skills are not groundbreaking, or if one is so good that people cannot refuse to choose, it is indeed difficult to be favored by the company's top management.
Especially for a ten-member group, if it is a duet or trio of two or three people, perhaps a perfect performance of a song would give them a high chance of success, but if a ten-member group wants all members to succeed, they need to show something more special.
Zheng Xiuheng should be regarded as instigating Kim Taeyeon to choose "A Candle". The reason given by Zheng Xiuheng was that they should perform a more realistic stage and give up everything that affects their emotions, including the final test that would take their lives. The most crucial sentence is that Zheng Xiuheng directly told Kim Taeyeon that she should ask her teammates: "Is there really no song you want to sing or performance you want to do from the bottom of your heart?"
In this way, thinking that Park In-jeong had chosen to leave, it finally led to the birth of "A Candle". Now it seems that Zheng Xiuheng's opinion was successful, and Kim Taeyeon also thinks so.
But Kim Taeyeon didn't know that Zheng Xiuheng had considered two possible outcomes at the time. One was to impress the top management of SM with real song emotions, lyrics, and a performance done with heart, showing a unique color and achieving the result of unanimous approval.
The other option is to be eliminated... most of them are eliminated, and only the last truly outstanding people are retained.
Zheng Xiuheng did not tell Kim Taeyeon about the risks. In his opinion, this was a risky thing. However, according to his estimation, this project had been prepared for a long time, and even if Lee Soo Man returned to SM, it would not be cancelled. After all, this project was not carried out secretly within the company, and it received a lot of attention from the outside media. Therefore, the chances of success are greater than failure.
"About that matter, I just made a small suggestion. You don't have to attribute your own efforts to me. You just need to keep it a secret!" Zheng Xiuheng pushed his glasses and replied with a smile, but he was thinking in his mind how to tactfully reject Kim Taeyeon later. Now he didn't want to break up with this girl. On the contrary, he hoped to have a better relationship with Kim Taeyeon, of course, he had to put aside her helpless persistence.
Zheng Xiuheng couldn't send a bodyguard or nanny to take care of Zheng Xiujing, nor could he send his men to watch his sister 24 hours a day. Under such circumstances, Zheng Xiuheng naturally hoped to have a good friend who could help him with this matter. As of now, except for the little snowball who was a little more naive than the Crystal Princess, among the people he knew in SM, only Kim Taeyeon slightly met his standards.
Kim Taeyeon didn't know what Zheng Xiuheng was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely not refuse. This time it wasn't because of the piano or something, but the conversation between Zheng Xiuheng and Zheng Xiujing last time, and Zheng Xiujing's crying, which touched her a lot. Because she is a girl, she is always more sensitive.
The image of Zheng Xiuheng is very tall in Kim Taeyeon's mind. Although she doesn't know everything, based on the information she knows now, she can imagine that he is a brother who works hard to make money for his sisters and even gave up his favorite piano.
Naturally, it was Crystal Princess who said that she liked playing the piano.
"I should still thank my senior. If it weren't for his suggestion, this final test wouldn't have gone so smoothly!" Kim Taeyeon sat down again and said sincerely. Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, Zheng Xiuheng gave her the impression that he was a very serious person. Although he was a little cold, what he said would definitely not be without reason or a lie. This is why she believed in foot playing.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't know how Jin Taiyan felt about him and how much she trusted him, so he just smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started. If you delay any further, your friends will get worried!"
"Oh, oh!" Kim Taeyeon nodded a little nervously, then raised her right leg a little embarrassedly, stepped on the chair, took off her purple socks, revealing her pink right foot.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't have any special hobbies, but he was a little amazed at this moment. The skin of Kim Taeyeon's feet was as smooth, soft and slightly transparent as mutton-fat jade. It stands to reason that the skin on a dancer's feet should not be so delicate, but her heels and soles were also pink, like a baby's face, her big toe was naturally round, and the rest of her toes were playfully and charmingly slightly bent, like cute eye bags, arranged meticulously and evenly.
Perhaps because she took off her socks in front of a man, Kim Taeyeon was a little nervous. Her five nutmeg-like toes curled up nervously, which made her look a little cute.
“The skin is really good!”
Finally, Zheng Xiuheng made a summary and looked at him curiously. It was Kim Taeyeon who noticed Zheng Xiuheng's interested gaze and her cheeks became a little hot, but she did not stop her actions. She quickly put down her right foot, then lifted up her left foot and took off her socks.
The two pink|tender feet were hanging on the keyboard in a somewhat tense manner, which looked a bit strange. Although Kim Taeyeon was used to practicing in front of her roommates, she suddenly became extremely nervous when facing Zheng Xiuheng for the first time.
Zheng Xiuheng found that Kim Taeyeon was a little uneasy, which seemed to be in line with his method of finding a reason to eliminate Kim Taeyeon without hurting her too much. However, Zheng Xiuheng had initially decided to ask this girl for help, so he didn't want to be too ruthless.
"Relax a little. If you keep getting so nervous, I think I can announce the result right now. Although I don't want to be your teacher at all, I also don't want you to fail because of nervousness. Take two deep breaths and try!"
Zheng Xiuheng's words calmed Kim Taeyeon a little, and she took two deep breaths as Zheng Xiuheng said.
"call!"
After a long exhalation, Kim Taeyeon's expression finally became a little more serious. She raised her red face and looked at Zheng Xiuheng, asking seriously, "Senior, if I succeed, will you really teach me to play the piano?"
"Of course!" Zheng Xiuheng nodded and replied seriously , but he said sorry in his heart.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng didn’t understand at all why Kim Taeyeon was so persistent. If she was like Uncle Liu, who kept trying to convince herself because of long-term exposure and felt it was a pity to give up music, then he could still understand it.
But the girl had only heard him play once, and Zheng Xiuheng couldn't even remember what he played, and what made her like it so much. Of course, Zheng Xiuheng didn't ask, otherwise Kim Taeyeon might be able to hum a little, but in reality, it seems unnecessary .
Kim Taeyeon put away the shyness in her heart, and suddenly reached out to roll up her long trouser legs, revealing two short legs as white as lotus roots.
Although it was not his intention, Zheng Xiuheng's attention was somewhat attracted. It was simply attention caused by charm, and that wonderful feeling slowly arose from the bottom of his heart.
"It really can be aroused by just a little desire!"
Zheng Xiuheng felt that this was like a mechanical program. Once it came into contact with a certain type of code, a chain reaction would immediately occur.
However, during this period of time, Zheng Xiuheng has learned to suppress such feelings, and his expression has not changed much.
Kim Taeyeon was already so absorbed in playing the instrument with her feet that she no longer cared about Jung Soo-heng.
