That night.

On the edge of Enshi Bajiaotong Township, Enshi Circus is a fixed performance venue.

Because the Spring Festival has not yet been over, there are still quite a lot of people watching circus performances. Unlike the years when materials were scarce, now movies, television, the Internet and other media have entered thousands of households, so fewer and fewer people watching circus. Just like today, the attendance rate reaches 50% can only be achieved in only a few festivals of the year.

However, although the industry is in a downturn, the circus' performance team is still very dedicated and dedicated to performing.

The puppy counts, monkeys riding horses, tigers jumping into fire circles, equestrian performances... All the projects were very exciting, which made the audience applaud. The clowns' performances interspersed between the performances made the children laugh, and the entire performance venue was filled with joy.

For Xiao Shenxuan, who has long been accustomed to understanding the world through computers and TV screens, the performance here is even more novel and interesting.

The little girl stared at her big eyes, her little face blushed and clapped hard, screaming and laughing hard.

Lu Yu also looked at him with a smile, secretly sighing in his heart. How many years have you been? The last time he watched a circus performance on site, I'm afraid he was not as old as Xiao Shen Xuan? I still remember that after watching the performance, he kept pestering his parents to take him to see it. But in fact, he didn't know that it was just a circus tour nationwide, and he had already left the city after the performance...

Later, because the computer and the Internet entered my life, I left this interesting live performance far behind. There were too many novel things on the Internet and it was too convenient. No one was willing to leave the house for a perhaps not very exciting performance and crowded with laughter among the crowd.

People say that the Internet has brought the distance between people closer. But at this moment, Lu Yu suddenly felt that the distance was not actually being narrowed, but seemed to be stretched out unlimitedly. If it took several years, would even be leisurely things like drinking tea be done through video?

"Lu Yu! Lu Yu, look at me! That clown gave me a beautiful flower!"

Just as Lu Yu's mind was dissipating, Xiao Shenxuan beside him suddenly screamed in surprise!

It turned out that the clown who was performing in the show walked into the audience at some point and directly pulled out the largest and most beautiful flower from the bouquet at his hand and handed it to Xiao Shenxuan. This action immediately attracted the envy of countless children around him, and they all shouted and extended their hands to the clown, asking for flowers.

But the clown did not stay in the audience for a long time. After a simple turn, he returned to the edge of the venue and directly sprinkled all the remaining flowers in his hand on the audience!

Looking at Xiao Shenxuan with an excited face, Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Girl, do you know why the clown gave you flowers?"

Xiao Shenxuan tilted her head and smiled, "That's not simple? Because I am the most beautiful and cutest!"

Lu Yu looked up at the clown who was also looking at this place, then nodded gently to express his gratitude, and then said lightly: "You are right, but in addition to your beauty and cuteness, he is also because he is your nephew."

"Mr....ah! You mean this clown is..." Xiao Shenxuan widened her eyes in surprise and hurriedly turned to look at the clown. But at this time the next performance had begun, and the clown's figure was disappearing in the curtain connecting the front and back stages.

Xiao Shenxuan said with a little disappointed: "It turns out that Zhang Shang is a clown in the circus..."

Lu Yu sighed and shook his head, and smiled and said, "Girl, do you think it's embarrassing to be a clown?"

"That's not!" Xiao Shenxuan hurriedly denied it, but then said: "But the clown is the least concerned in the entire circus, isn't it?"

She is right. People worship the tall and mighty beast tamers in circuses who train lions and tigers, like to train puppies and piglets, cheer for the enthusiastic young people who perform equestrians... but they only regard the clown as an optional character and can even laugh at him freely.

In Xiao Shenxuan's heart, Zhang Shang should be the kind of person who stands in the spotlight to receive people's applause, and no matter how bad it is, he is an indispensable staff behind the scenes. The gap brought to her by the clown is indeed a bit big.

Lu Yu smiled and asked back, "Do you really think the clown is not attracted attention? Have you ever thought about what it would be like if this performance was not interspersed by the clown?"

"No clown interspers..." Xiao Shenxuan tilted her head and frowned slightly, as if thinking about Lu Yu's question. However, even though she is more mature than most of her peers, she cannot understand the profound meaning of Lu Yu's words in a short period of time.

Lu Yu lifted the corner of her mouth, rubbed the little girl's hair and said, "Don't think about this for now. I know you are a good girl. When you grow up, you should understand what I want to say."

After saying that, he never mentioned this topic again. There are some things that don’t need to be discussed in any major ways. As he gets older, his views on things will naturally become different.

After this performance, the clown who was involved in the show appeared again.

However, Xiao Shenxuan was disappointed to find that Zhang Shang did not return to the stage again. She couldn't help but muttered dissatisfiedly: "What does Zhang Shang mean? He gave me a flower and left, without even saying a word? I am still his master! Right? Lu Yu!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "The clown's performance is not allowed to have language. He is respecting his own profession... and the flower he gave you is actually conveying what he wants to say. He wants to tell us through this that at least everything has been going well so far."

"Is that true?" Xiao Shenxuan looked at Lu Yu in confusion.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Of course! If he found out that he could not tame Xiao Hei at all, how could he be in the mood to send us flowers? It seems that this kid is confident at the moment."

Speaking of this, a trace of cunning suddenly flashed in Lu Yu's eyes and said, "Girl, do you want to see what method Zhang Shang used to tame Xiao Hei?"

"Of course I want to!" Xiao Shenxuan nodded vigorously with full interest.

Lu Yu looked at the dark ceiling on the top of the venue and smiled, "We won't leave after the performance is over!"

...

It's 11:30 p.m.

It was not until midnight that the circus staff packed up the venue and said goodbye to each other and left the performance venue.

Zhang Shang, who played the clown, took off his outfit at this time and stayed for the end.

It's late at night and people are quiet.

After Zhang Shang checked all the equipment and animal cages again, he quickly walked to a corner, lifted the curtain covered by an iron cage, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Xiao Hei, you have eaten and slept and slept. Now you can always give me a reply, right?"
