Should I learn to sing or act?

Li Ye chose to surf. He's a little confused right now, and it's definitely not because he's just having fun.

The scene changed instantly, but it was still the same beach and the same coach as before.

But for some reason, Li Ye asked the coach if he could do advanced training, but was refused and severely criticized for wanting to fly before he could even walk.

Even though Li Ye immediately went into the sea to demonstrate his surfing skills to the coach, the coach didn't react at all and just told him to continue practicing.

Having no other choice, Li Ye started playing by himself.

......

Li Ye woke up a little late today, around 10 a.m.

At that moment, Wang Fu was drinking coffee in the courtyard of the guesthouse when he saw Li Ye come out and reminded him, "It seems like you were sleepwalking again last night."

When he arrived, the staff reported that Li Ye had been writhing in bed like a maggot again last night.

Li Ye was stretching comfortably when he heard this and paused. "Did you do anything strange?"

"That's a bit of a pity, it's similar to last time."

Wang Fu found it somewhat amusing, but still said seriously, "You're sleepwalking quite frequently; I suggest you see a doctor."

"Thank you for your concern," Li Ye said politely.

He was aware of his condition and that the reason he was sleepwalking was because of the practice in his dreams.

However, there was one thing that Li Ye regretted: his progress in the second surfing practice in his dream was not as great as the first time.

His skill level has not improved; he has only consolidated his existing foundation and remains at the beginner level.

I don't know if it's for some other reason, or if dream-based teaching can only go this far.

"Even this much is enough." Li Ye calmed himself down and went out for a run.

At this stage, the biggest constraint on his surfing skills is his physical condition, which cannot be rushed but requires perseverance.

Maintaining aerobic exercise every day is also very beneficial for a singer.

After running five kilometers on and off, Li Ye was soaked to the bone, as if he had been drenched in water.

Li Ye went straight back to his room, unaware that Wang Fu, who had already refilled his iced Americano under the gazebo in the courtyard, was secretly observing him.

"Do you think I'm overthinking this?" Wang Fu asked instinctively.

The two female colleagues who were cooling off together turned their gaze away from Li Ye's retreating figure and said in unison, "What are you thinking about?"

Wang Fu shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Last night, Li Ye made two new friends, Zhang Hai and Yan Tao. During the dinner, Wang Fu observed them from the sidelines.

He vaguely realized that he might have been overthinking things.

Li Ye seemed to have no guile; on the contrary, he was extremely sincere, and his magnanimity was just as he had previously demonstrated.

Yesterday, Yan Tao met with Li Ye, and although they didn't seem to do anything, such an attitude towards a minor celebrity is to be expected.

But one second they're all smiles, the next they're too lazy to exchange pleasantries. It's not just looking down on people, it's also extremely impolite in social situations.

However, Li Ye acted as if nothing was wrong. He wasn't particularly outgoing, but he didn't feel any distance from Yan Tao when they got along.

Although all of this could be faked, Wang Fu spent several hours putting together an act for Li Ye.

Can Li Ye's terrible acting skills really hold up?

Anyway, from the first time they met until now, Wang Fu had been observing Li Ye, but he couldn't find a single flaw in him.

Instead, I could feel the vibrant energy emanating from Li Ye more and more clearly.

I always felt that he had a unique charm.

......

At 2 PM, it was time to meet Zhang Hai.

"Ano, Ano!"

Just as Li Ye was about to leave, Zhang Hai and Yan Tao arrived together.

Yan Tao carried two large bags, while Zhang Hai carried a surfboard on each arm, one long and one short.

"What is this?" Li Ye asked hesitantly.

Yan Tao chuckled and said, "We have some surfing equipment and two boards, so you don't have to go and buy them yourself."

Zhang Hai continued, "I'll bring you the stuff first. You're exhausted after surfing, so I won't bother with anything else."

Li Ye felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't looked into it yet, but he knew that the equipment wasn't cheap.

But before he could speak, Zhang Hai and Yan Tao carried him into the room.

"Don't be so polite. We don't lack these things, and neither do you. If you consider us friends, then accept them." Zhang Hai said earnestly.

Yan Tao nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, with your talent for surfing, we have no reason not to support you."

Two men who looked middle-aged were giving gifts and befriending Li Ye, a young man in his early twenties. Wang Fu couldn't help but feel that the scene was a bit strange.

"Thanks."

Li Ye hesitated for a moment, then decided to accept it readily.

Holding the longboard Zhang Hai had given them, the group set off for the beach.

After finishing his warm-up exercises, Zhang Hai raised an eyebrow at Li Ye.

"Shall we go?"

"Walk!"

Today's waves were similar to yesterday's, neither too high nor too low, just right for someone like Li Ye.

While sitting on the board waiting for the waves, Li Ye realized that his understanding of waves seemed to have deepened.

If it were yesterday, he would have turned around and started paddling without hesitation when this wave came. But now he felt that the wave's energy was insufficient, and his position was not good, being a bit too far from the crest of the wave. So he pressed down on the board and dived, giving up on the wave.

When the next wave came, Li Ye finally made his move, turning, paddling, and riding the wave smoothly and effortlessly, running diagonally across the green wave.

"Wow, that's really awesome!"

Yan Tao, who was watching the drone footage with Wang Fu, exclaimed in surprise after witnessing it firsthand.

Wang Fu asked, "Is that amazing?"

"That's amazing!"

Yan Tao adopted a "let me explain this to you properly" attitude: "Let me put it this way, in all my years in this industry, Li Ye is the most talented person I've ever seen, including professional surfers."

Seeing Wang Fu deep in thought, Yan Tao quickly added, "Of course, Li Ye's current level is considered beginner. Surfing depends a lot on talent and courage, and requires a lot of practice time. It's hard to say what level he will reach in the future."

Yan Tao said no more, afraid that he might exaggerate Li Ye's claims and be used against him later.

He has a wife who's a fan of celebrities, so he knows all about these things.

Little did they know, Coach Zhang Hai was even more surprised than Yan Tao.

"Why didn't you go for the first wave?" Zhang Hai asked hurriedly after Li Ye returned from paddling.

Without hesitation, Li Ye replied, "The location is bad, the waves are too soft, even if I catch something, it won't be a satisfying ride."

Zhang Hai didn't say anything more, and gestured for Li Ye to continue.

After an afternoon, Li Ye could no longer surge, and Zhang Hai finally confirmed that his judgment was correct: Li Ye's ability to read the waves had actually increased dramatically in a single day.

"Do you know that you were born to belong to the sea!" Back on shore, Zhang Hai danced with joy, even more excited than yesterday.

The ability to read waves is known as "sea sense" among surfers. It is the most difficult skill to teach and learn in surfing, and can only be accumulated through a lot of diving, repeated observation, and constant mistakes.

The core difference between experts and novices lies in how accurately they read the waves.

Only by reading accurately can you grasp accurately.

Li Ye's movements were very standard, textbook-level, but his success rate in catching waves yesterday wasn't too exaggerated. Today, his success rate is estimated to be over 70%.

Although he still needs to concentrate on each wave, his success rate is already comparable to that of real surfing experts!

During dinner, Zhang Hai continued to praise him.

Li Ye chuckled from time to time, though he felt a little embarrassed by the constant praise, he actually enjoyed it.

Since he had to go to his vocal lesson the next day, Li Ye said goodbye after dinner, took the gifts from Zhang Hai and Yan Tao, and got into the production crew's car to start his return journey.

After the SUV from the production crew had completely disappeared, Yan Tao slapped his forehead and realized he had forgotten the important matter.

"It's all your fault. You kept bragging about it, and I forgot to ask Li Ye to help promote it." This was the main reason why Yan Tao was willing to take the initiative to build a good relationship with Li Ye and help him get the opportunity to record the show.

Yan Tao felt that even if Li Ye couldn't become famous in the entertainment industry, his face alone would attract a lot of attention online, especially in the surfing community.

Zhang Hai glared at him. "Don't you have his WeChat? Just say it if you want."

Yan Tao quickly took out his phone, opened the chat window with Li Ye, but typed a few words and then deleted them, finally putting the phone back in his pocket.

"Why are you not talking anymore?"

"No need. Ah Ye is a good person, I don't think it's necessary to say anything."

Zhang Hai nodded in agreement. He had only known Li Ye for two days at most, and there was a ten-year age difference between them. They hadn't talked much, but for some reason, he felt particularly comfortable around him.

Recalling his first meeting with Li Ye yesterday, Yan Tao smiled self-deprecatingly.
