My ears unconsciously paid attention to the conversations nearby.
Xie Chuchu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she heard that a middle-aged lady predicted that Xue Jiamin would be among the finalists.
hey-hey.
She was secretly happy in her heart.
…
Listening to the lady's analysis, it is obvious that she has some attainments in the piano.
So, the list she predicted obviously has a certain degree of credibility.
In addition, Xiuxiu also said that Xue Jiamin performed very well and is very likely to enter the finals...
Xie Chuchu clasped her hands in front of her chest.
She felt that maybe, probably... she could almost look forward to it, no, wait until she heard Xue Jiamin's name called out by the judges.
…
"Oh yeah~"
Xie Chuchu cheered softly.
"Xiuxiu!"
She held her friend's hand and said, "Did you hear that?!"
"Xue Jiamin has entered the finals!"
…
"Um."
Chi Xiuke also smiled and frowned.
"I heard."
"Very good."
"Chu Chu, congratulations."
…
"Ahem~"
Xie Chuchu uncomfortably restrained some of the joy on her face, and her eyes became a little wandering.
"Congratulations to me?"
"It's not like I'm in the finals."
…
Chi Xiuke has some funny friends who don’t mean what they say.
"My eyes are no longer smiling, so it has nothing to do with you?"
…
"Have it?"
Xie Chuchu subconsciously touched her eyes.
"How can there be..."
Thank you Chuchu for talking.
…
Chi Xiuke didn't argue with his friends about this.
She thoughtfully changed the topic.
"Let's go."
…
"ah?"
Xie Chuchu was stunned.
"Walk?"
What to go?
…
Chi Xiuke sighed helplessly.
"The game is over now."
"Aren't you going to see Xue Jiamin backstage?"
…
ah?
Xie Chuchu couldn't help but glance towards the stage.
indeed.
The stage that was quite lively just now is now empty.
The auditorium next to me was also mostly empty.
Everyone got up and walked towards the door.
certainly.
Some people also walked towards the stage.
Obviously.
Those people are all family members of the players.
…
"What are you still doing?"
Chi Xiuke took his friend's hand.
"gone."
"Don't keep Xue Jiamin waiting too long."
…
"He doesn't know-"
Xie Chuchu realized something was wrong mid-sentence and shut up.
What kind of brain does she have?
How could Xue Jiamin not know she was coming today?
The child even entrusted her with a task.
Speaking of this mission...
Xie Chuchu frowned slightly.
"If the boy asks about the leopard..."
"...I'm afraid he will be disappointed..."
To be honest, the child performed so well in the competition. If possible, she hoped to realize the child's wish, which could be regarded as a reward for the child's outstanding performance.
but……
The child wants rewards beyond her capabilities.
She didn't find the leopard.
I don’t even know what the leopard with a human face in the child’s mouth is?
To meet that child like this...
Thinking of the child's expression looking at her expectantly yesterday...
She felt a little guilty for no reason.
…
Xie Chuchu paused in getting up.
…
"What's wrong?"
Chi Xiuke looked confused.
"Did you lose something?"
She didn't hear what Xie Chuchu said to herself just now.
At this time, the concert hall was a little noisy because of the audience's exit.
…
"no……"
Xie Chuchu waved her hand.
"that is……"
Xie Chuchu pursed her lips.
"I'm just worried that if that kid asks me about the leopard..."
"In the end I found nothing."
"You can't tell him anything..."
Xie Chuchu's voice became lower and lower.
"Will he... be disappointed?"
…
Well……
Chi Xiuke was stunned.
When Xue Jiamin mentioned leopards yesterday, her shining eyes appeared in front of her eyes.
If they hadn't noticed the child looking towards the audience just now, they could still have had a chance... maybe the child had temporarily forgotten about the leopard...
But now they can't have such an optimistic view.
"...There's nothing we can do about it."
Chi Xiuke smiled bitterly.
"We just didn't find any leopards in the concert hall."
They didn't even know where to start from telling a white lie about this matter.
"We can only tell Xue Jiamin the truth."
…
"Alas~"
Xie Chuchu sighed loudly.
"I know."
"But I still feel a little embarrassed to go see that child like this."
"I always feel as if I have failed the child's expectations."
Obviously, there was no guarantee that I would find anything at the beginning.
Obviously I also told the child... about leopards... the child must have seen it wrong...
So what is she struggling with now?
Xie Chuchu reached out and knocked on his head.
…
"But if you don't go now..."
Seeing the two girls fell into silence, Xiao Xiao spoke warmly.
"Xue Jiamin not only didn't get news about the leopard."
"I haven't even seen my sister who can share the joy of promotion."
"He will be very disappointed if he watches other people's excitement alone..."
…
"How can he be so pitiful?"
Xie Chuchu burst out laughing.
If it weren't for the fact that the child in her place had "a lot of criminal records" and "bad records", she would have been moved by Master Xiao's few words.
"Teacher Gao is here."
"There are also classmates who don't have parents coming to join him."
"Even if he is alone, he can enjoy himself."
Although he said a lot of words to prove that Xue Jiamin would not be alone, Xie Chuchu still walked towards the stage.
…
There was a hint of smile in Chi Xiuke's eyes.
She turned around and blinked at Xiao Xiao.
Then I followed my friends.
…
Xiao Xiao turned around and smiled at Zhu Qian.
"goodbye."
His eyebrows are slightly curved.
"See you tomorrow."
…
Xiao Xiao took steps forward.
…
Zhu Jian raised his body.
When the results were announced just now, it lay down again.
The child, who was a stranger at first, has left a deep and shallow impression on his mind in the past two days.
…
See you tomorrow……
It looked at Master Xiao Xiao's leaving figure.
The corner of his mouth grinned.
Then see you tomorrow.
…
Just as Xie Chuchu worried before...
When Xue Jiamin saw Xie Chuchu, the first thing he blurted out was -
"Sister, have you seen the leopard?"
…
Xie Chuchu:......
She pursed her lips slightly.
"Xue Jiamin, you performed very well today."
She changed the subject.
She was worried that she would lose the atmosphere of congratulating the child on her achievements after she said something without any discovery.
"Congratulations on entering the finals."
Speaking of this matter, Xie Chuchu couldn't help but narrowed her eyes.
Smile deeply.
This is something worthy of joy and even celebration, isn't it?
