Chapter 10- Practise

DO NOT REPOST OR RETRANSLATE

“Since you picked a topic randomy, what do you think you need?” Wen Heng looked at Rong Xi’s eyes and guided him unhurriedly.

    “I need data, I need cases, and I still need to think about a lot of aspects that can be involved in this topic. If it starts suddenly like this, and there is no way to keep going.” Rong Xi said.

    Wen Heng smiled, “That’s why you have to read more books. A game may not give you long time to prepare. When you go to a game, you may have five days when the situation is good, and you may only have one when it is not. Two days. How can you collect enough information in such a short period of time, enough information that you want? You can only rely on the usual accumulation, at least if there is a sense of direction, people will not be confused.”

    “Well, you are right. ” You are the most handsome, you are right in everything.

    “That’s why I didn’t let you watch the game directly and play directly. What you see when watching the game is the direct effect. You may see other people wanting to learn speaking skills, but their thinking and preparation is often ignored by everyone.”

    Rong Xi didn’t understand, “But, why didn’t you tell Chen Ze this just now?”

    “I don’t want to tire myself for others.”

   Rong Xi doesn’t know if his brain is thinking too much,but he feels that when Wen Heng said these words, his tone was a little low, so he quickly comforted him, “It’s okay, I think what you said makes sense. I…I am very happy to be with you, really!”

    “I am also very happy to be with you. “Wen Heng smiled.

    Rong Xi suddenly felt that his heartbeat had accelerated by several times, and he was almost drowning in Wen Heng’s smile. If he could look at Wen Heng’s smile more in the future, it would be worth reading as many books as he could!

    Wen Heng continued to ask Rong Xi, “By the way, in half a month, our department has to choose the representative of the debater to participate. I think your qualifications are quite good. Do you want to register? If you are willing to register, these two weeks I can train with you.”

Originally, Rong Xi would be nervous when speaking in a crowded place, but he heard that if he was willing to sign up for Wen Heng, he(WH) could accompany him(RX) to train for half a month. Rong Xi’s heart was immediately shaken. This temptation was too great. Rong Xi only briefly thought for a second before agreeing.

    Rong Xi agreed too quickly, Wen Heng did not notice Rong Xi’s true intention, so he readily agreed, “Well, there are still two weeks before the selection. It’s not long or short. You’ve just gotten into the debate competition. There are a lot of things that need to be familiarized in advance, but we don’t have to worry, we can do it slowly. Just come to the office of our Debating Club at 6 o’clock every afternoon.”   

  “Okay.” When he agreed, Rong Xi was all overjoyed. But when he think about it, Wen Heng needs to busy himself after school every time. Worried about Wen Heng’s reluctance, Rong Xi asked again, “Can you really come every day?”  

   “Of course, there are usually no people here. Everyone is busy and will only come when there is a meeting. So don’t worry, no one will disturb you here.”

     Actually, Rong Xi was worried that he will make a fool of himself in front of others. He just felt embarrassed every time he came to the office of the Debate Club, so he said to Wen Heng, “It’s not very good. This is your office. For me to always come here…”    

“If you don’t like it here, I don’t know where else to come.”

   “No, no, it’s not that I don’t like it but because I’m afraid to disturb everyone.” 

Wen Heng smiled, “Don’t worry, if you meet people, just say you’re here to help me. I always have people to work for me, and people will only feel sorry for you.”

He doesn’t know why but when Wen Heng said this, Rong Xi only felt shy. But Wen Heng seemed to have an idea immediately and asked, “Will you have time later?”  

   “Yes.” Actually Rong Xi is going to the studio to paint later, but since Wen Heng asked, Rong Xi naturally said that he had time, and he had to create time even if he didn’t have time.   

  “That’s good, let’s go over now.” Wen Heng raised an eyebrow at Rong Xi.

 Rong Xi never expect that happiness could come so suddenly. He thought he could only start to train tomorrow. How could he know that someone who “has time” would get the opportunity to train today. It was really good luck.

    When following Wen Heng to the Debating Club classroom, Rong Xi had the illusion of going on a secret date, and he didn’t know how to enjoy it. But in front of Wen Heng, it’s still not easy to show his true feelings, so he tried to make himself calmer.  

   The office of the Debating Club is really a bit remote, which makes it feel more like a date. Rong Xi was constantly thinking carefully along the way. He always felt that since the beginning of school, he had been hanging up all the time. The constant feeling of being a little drifting and a little cautious, worried that such a beautiful illusion would suddenly be shattered one day.  

   But Rong Xi had already sunk, even if it was destroyed one day, he had once owned it anyway.  

   He thought there was only one office in the Debating Club, but he didn’t expect it to be on the entire second floor, and Wen Heng’s office was in the first one just ascending the stairs. The door was unlocked, and Rong Xi followed Wen Heng in.     After entering, Rong Xi seemed a little embarrassed. After all, this is where Wen Heng works. Rong Xi was a little nervous, worried that he would be disappointed by his poor performance.   

  There is also another meaning. There are only two people in the office, Rong Xi and Wen Heng. There was still Chen Ze in the office before, but now only Wen Heng and himself, alone with still the same space, but with the people he likes. Rong Xi felt that Wen Heng’s presence was infinitely enlarged.  

   What’s more, the things here are all used by Wen Heng. The chair Wen Heng asked him to sit on, the table in front of him, and even the pen on the table made Rong Xi blush and heartbeat when he thought of this place.     Wen Heng saw that Rong Xi looked a little embarrassed, and smiled, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you.”

The speaker is not interested, the listener is interested. Originally, Rong Xi didn’t think about that, but when Wen Heng said this, Rong Xi couldn’t stop himself from making up for the situation of Xing Heng “putting himself in this way and that way”, and almost choked out with a mouthful of water. Feeling overreacted again, he blushed and explained, “I didn’t, didn’t think like that.”

Wen Heng sat across from Rong Xi, just a desk away, and Rong Xi felt nothing but the breath of Wen Heng all around him. Rong Xi was suddenly floating.

    Just when Rongxi was halfway floating, Wen Heng took a copy of the material to Rong Xi, “This is the opening argument of our debate in previous years. You can read it and I will hear it.”

    Rong Xi took the argument and looked at it. The spokesperson written on it was Wen Heng, and suddenly he didn’t know whether he was more nervous or more excited. Wen Heng actually showed his own speech to himself to read! Rong Xi was flattered for a while, but he was worried that Wen Heng would be disappointed by his poor reading, and he immediately became more energetic.

    This is Wen Heng’s speech. Wen Heng has used it and read it. Rong Xi can even see some notes scattered on it. It is very likely that Wen Heng has taken it to the arena. With such a precious thing in his own hands, Rong Xi suddenly felt his fingertips tremble slightly.

    Looking at the small characters written by Wen Heng, Rong Xi only sigh with emotion, even the writing is so good-looking.

    In order to not make mistakes, Rong Xi read the manuscript first. Wen Heng knew that he has to be familiar with it in advance, so he did not urge him. He waited for Rong Xi to finish reading the manuscript while drinking water.

    Wen Heng also found it strange since he was never a person who is patient enough to wait. Maybe he was in a good mood today, but he didn’t feel impatient while waiting for Rong Xi to familiarize himself with the manuscript. Moreover, he looked at Rong Xi conscientiously looking at the manuscript word by word. He feel that it is a little cute.

    Rong Xi read the manuscript again and felt that there should be no problem, and then said to Wen Heng, “We can begin.”

    “Then you read it.”

Rong Xi began to read the manuscript. When he read it, he wanted to look at Wen Heng but didn’t dare. If he looks at Wen Heng, he was worried that Wen Heng was not satisfied with the level of his reading. A series of manuscripts went smoothly without any stumbling. Although he was nervous, it was surprisingly smooth when he read it out.

    This makes Rong Xi feel quite incredible. For a long time, whenever he gets nervous, he will stutter. But since joining the Debating Club, from the interview to the answer to Wen Heng’s question, and now he is reading the manuscript in front of Wen Heng. Rong Xi was nervous but he did not have the problem of stuttering again. How can it be so smooth? 

    Rong Xi was a little surprised. In short, even though he was still nervous when he saw Wen Heng, he spoke much more smoothly. But since he did not show his stammering side in front of Wen Heng, Rong Xi was still a little relieved.     After listening to Rong Xi, Wen Heng nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, you are much better than I thought. Have you ever read a debate before?”  

   To be honest, Rong Xi’s performance surprised Wen Heng. The reason is that when he reads the manuscript, he has a completely natural feeling. Because they want everyone to be convinced of their position, when speaking, they generally need a sense of firmness, not humbleness or arrogance.  

   Such speech is completely different from recitation and speech. Recitation requires emotional expression, so it is more sensational. Although the speech is also to persuade the audience, it needs more affinity. Debate requires the conviction of the audience and the judges, because there are still opponents who are constantly standing in the opposition, so in dealing with emotions, it needs to be generous and firm. 

    To put it bluntly, there must be a feeling of “what Lao Tzu(1) says is the truth,” but it must be expressed with the utmost civilization and grace.     Of course, the high-ranking competition doesn’t care about this. But generally speaking, they are all needed. And this kind of feeling can only be found by getting more exposure to the game and more training. But Rong Xi is different. He seems to have such an advantage by nature.  

   Naturally, Rong Xi didn’t know Wen Heng’s thoughts, and answered honestly, “Before…none.”   

  “Good boy. You’ve been so serious, but why are you talking so sweet now?” Wen Heng smiled.     Rong Xi felt sweet in his heart, and Wen Heng actually described him as sweet and soft. This, this, this is to describe a girl, right? However, in the face of Wen Heng, Rong Xi was naturally confused when he said that. Can such a pleasant word be used to describe him? Well, worthy of being his male god!

 “But there is one thing.” Wen Heng smiled and leaned against Rong Xi. “You speak with too much voice, try to sink your breath, and then pronounce it back to see if it feels better?”

    “Sink it?” Rong Xi looked dumbfounded, he had always talked like this, how could he sink it?

    Wen Heng explained, “Yes, that is, you try to breathe in like you normally breathe in, breathe in naturally, come on, try?”

    Rong Xi breathed in .

    Wen Heng shook his head, “No, try to be natural and don’t be too deliberate.”

    Rong Xi breathed in again.

    Wen Heng shook his head again, “Don’t breathe into your chest, but sink your dantian, do you know where the dantian is?”

    Rong Xi shook his head, and then Rong Xi was nervous, and wondered if Wen Heng would be disappointed in himself. Time is tight.

    But the next second, Rong Xi saw Wen Heng walking over casually, walked a little behind him, put his hand on his abdomen, and said, “Come on, give it a try.”

    This posture, how does it look? It was like Wen Heng hugged himself from behind!

    In addition, because the distance is too close, and Wen Heng is slightly taller than Rong Xi, Rong Xi directly feels Wen Heng is whispering beside him, and the warm and familiar Wen Heng’s unique breath sprays on the auricle. Rong Xi felt that his ears were red. What Rong Xi couldn’t ignore was the hand placed on his abdomen. Although they were separated by clothes, Rong Xi’s heart was beating.

    How does this make him practice? he will drown, alright? !

    The author has something to say:

    Wen Heng: Rong Xi only speaks sweetly to me, happy everyday!

    Rong Xi: …If you continue to teach this way, It’ll be tough

    Wen Heng: I can help you

    Rong Xi: No thanks _(:з」∠)_

    Wen Heng: Don’t be so polite, come on~~~

    Rong Xi: Where is my cold male god? Who is this rascal? ? ?

    Author: I don’t know either! ! !
