"This angle is fine." Gu Beichen moved closer to the camera instructor to check. Qiu Zixin in the camera was wearing a T-shirt co-branded by Mickey Mouse and ripped jeans.

She stands on the stage with a violin in her hand, hanging at her side.

Sitting in front of the piano, Xiao Yu occasionally glanced at Qiu Zixin.

They were rehearsing for a summer music festival.

This stage is open, not closed like the usual recital hall, it is a venue selected and rented by Gu Beichen and other academies.

Gu Beichen raised his hand and raised his thumb, "Zixin, it's time to start."

Qiu Zixin nodded, and looked behind her, Xiao Yu made an OK gesture with her little hand.

The rehearsal went very smoothly, basically in one go, except for one or two small mistakes in timing, most of it was done very well.

"Zixin, take a look." Gu Beichen waved Qiu Zixin off the stage, and asked her if she was satisfied with this angle.These are the videos that will be used in the year-end wrap-up.

Qiu Zixin was discussing the layout of the venue with Gu Beichen, and the staff was arranging the seats for the guests. Everything was taken care of in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yu is still not very familiar with the feel of this piano, so she pondered it several times by herself, listening to the difference between loud and small sounds brought out by different strengths.

"Beichen, I think the lighting on the stage is a bit too dazzling, and it may need to be dimmed for the official performance." Qiu Zixin is a person who pays great attention to details, and she often takes many things into consideration.

During their conversation, another man with an electric guitar on his back came to talk to Gu Beichen about the arrangement, and Gu Beichen turned to look at Qiu Zixin.She knew that Gu Beichen was busy, "You go first, we can talk later."

Gu Beichen: "Well, how about it, if you have anything you want to change, just tell Caser, and I will tell him to listen to your arrangements."

Qiu Zixin smiled at him, "Thank you for your trust."

Gu Beichen has sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, and his smile is particularly good-looking, "You are welcome, we are good friends. I also want to thank you for helping me relieve a lot of work."

He is the prime minister of the North Campus, so Gu Beichen was naturally very busy when the event was held.

Gu Beichen was wearing a black printed T-shirt and army green straight-leg overalls. His height of 1.8 meters was a natural hanger.The neatly combed seven-thirds hair made him look very refreshing, "I'll go first."

Then the foreigner named Caser came, "Miss Qiu, is there anything I need to adjust?"

Qiu Zixin brushed her hair back, her delicate facial features were like icing on the cake after being stained with rouge, "I'm sorry to trouble you, I think this light..."

During the conversation with Caser, Qiu Zixin's eyes would glance towards the direction of the stage from time to time.

After Xiao Yu finished playing the piano, she was looking at the decorations on the stage. It may be to match the summer. There are many artificial plants and artificial rocks around the stage.

Xiao Yu stood at the front of the stage, and she saw Qiu Zixin walking in this direction while talking with the foreigner.

Qiu Zixin reached out to pick her up from under the stage, "I'll carry you down." She took advantage of the situation and carried Xiao Yu down.

This series of movements is extremely natural, as if there are often such interactions on weekdays, Xiao Yu is no longer frightened like the first time, but she feels that Qiu Zixin's embrace... makes her feel at ease?

Xiao Yu pondered whether to use this adjective properly, because...it would make her feel safe.

Qiu Zixin was chatting with Caser about the seating arrangement that day, and Xiao Yu obediently stood beside Qiu Zixin.

The foreigner was tall, a head taller than Sister Qiu, with golden-brown hair, a row of white teeth when he smiled, and a relatively loud voice.

"At that time, the seats can be divided into two areas, six seats in a row, and there is a small path in the middle to facilitate the movement of guests on the left and right sides." Qiu Zixin said.

Looking at it from Xiao Yu's angle, it was a woman's jawline like white jade, and her eyelashes fluttering indistinctly.

Qiu Zixin does her best, and even helps the staff personally, so everyone in the regiment has a little weight for her.

After the two of them sorted things out briefly, Caser noticed that the little girl who had been standing beside Qiu Zixin had been silent since just now, quietly and obediently waiting for the adults to finish speaking.

"Hi, what is your name? (What is your name?)" The foreigner showed a hearty smile.

Xiao Yu could understand what the other party was saying, but she was still a little shy towards foreigners.

Then she felt the big hand holding her pat her hand gently.Qiu Zixin gave her an encouraging look.

"MynameisXiaoYu. (My name is Xiao Yu.)" The girl replied shyly, her voice was as soft as cotton, and the dimple on her right cheek would greet her when she spoke.

Caser felt that Xiao Yu was very cute, "You'resocute! Xiao Yu. (You're so cute!)" He reached out to touch Xiao Yu's head.

But I don't know if it was his illusion, Qiu Zixin seemed to inadvertently push Xiao Yu away from behind gently, Caser's hand felt empty, so he had to retract it.

Qiu Zixin: "At that time, we may have to set up a gauze tent or something. If the sun is very strong that day, it will be very sunny. Well... basically that is the case. I hope you can tell Beichen about the changes."

Caser could only respond with a smile, "Okay...then I wish you a successful performance that day."

Qiu Zixin nodded, her smile was so shallow that she almost disappeared, and she led Xiao Yu away.

Inexplicably, Caser felt that what he said just now made Qiu Zixin unhappy?

The rehearsal was over, another group of people went up, Qiu Zixin and Xiao Yu sat in the auditorium, waiting for Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao to pick Xiao Yu home.

The staff distributed two bottles of mineral water to them. Xiao Yu took the bottle of mineral water politely and gratefully. She didn't know if the bottle cap was too tight. Xiao Yu used all her strength to drink milk, but she just couldn't open it.

"Shall I open it for you?" Qiu Zixin noticed her action and put down the unopened mineral water.

Qiu Zixin turned the bottle cap vigorously, but found that it couldn't be opened.

Qiu Zixin tried harder to twist the bottle cap, but the mouth of the mineral water bottle seemed to be stuck with super glue, no matter how hard he twisted it, it would not move at all.

Qiu Zixin: "..."

She simply picked up her own water bottle, turned it away and handed it to Xiao Yu, "Drink mine, I haven't drunk it yet."

Xiao Yu accepted it embarrassingly. It's a hot day and I'm really thirsty.She drank it in small sips, saw Qiu Zixin's red palm from twisting the bottle cap, and handed the water bottle back to Qiu Zixin.

"Sister Qiu, do you want a drink?" Xiao Yu asked Qiu Zixin with blinked eyes, there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Well, yes." Qiu Zixin took the water bottle and drank half of it in one go.

Qiu Zixin drank some water, took out a tissue again, and wiped the fine sweat off Xiao Yu's face.

The staff present thought they were sisters who were close friends, "You really love your sister."

Qiu Zixin smiled at him, without saying anything, with a noncommittal attitude.

Not long after, Qiu Zixin's cell phone in his trouser pocket rang, and it was Wen Yujie calling.

"Well, okay, I'll take Xiao Yu to the parking space to find you right now." Qiu Zixin held the phone in his right hand, and the knuckles extending from his knuckles were very clear.

Qiu Zixin hung up the phone, "Let's go, Xiao Yu."

Just as Xiao Yu was trying hard to peel off the bottle cap, at the moment Qiu Zixin turned her head, she unexpectedly succeeded with a "click".

Qiu Zixin: "..."

Wen Yujie saw Qiu Zixin walking with Xiao Yu from the reflection in the car mirror, she immediately got out of the car to greet her.

"Hello, Aunt Wen." Qiu Zixin greeted her first as usual, "Uncle Xiao." Sitting in the car, Mr. Xiao nodded and smiled at her.

"Did the rehearsal go well? Did Little Zhuzi cause you any trouble?" Wen Yujie asked.

Xiao Yu looked up and saw Qiu Zixin with a smile on his lips, "It went very well, Xiao Yu is very smart and well-behaved, and didn't cause any trouble."

Xiao Yu who was praised was secretly happy, and a flower quietly appeared on top of her head.

"That's good." Wen Yujie said with a smile, in fact, Xiao Yu is not usually a troublesome child, she is quite at ease about her child.

Wen Yujie stretched out her hand to Xiao Yu, "Little Zhuzi, let's go back, don't forget that we are going to celebrate our birthday tonight."

The corners of Qiu Zixin's eyebrows slightly raised.

Holding Xiao Yu's big hand, he patted her hand lightly, and let go of her own initiative. Xiao Yu looked up at Qiu Zixin.

The sky at that time was very blue, and the clouds looked like many sheep running in the blue sky. The wind blowing was very cool, which took away a lot of the outdoor heat.

Xiao Yu's hair has not been cut short, it has grown quite a bit now, and can be tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.

The surrounding leaves are rustling.

"Happy birthday, little bamboo!" Mr. Xiao said with a smile.

Because of the flight schedule, Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao decided to celebrate Xiao Yu's birthday in advance.They reserved a box in the next restaurant and asked the chef to make a set meal.

Halfway through the meal, the lights in the private room turned hot and dim, Xiao Yu thought it was a power outage, and was slightly startled, until she saw the waiter coming in with a trolley.

A flame burning in the darkness, the light of a candle dancing in Xiao Yu's eyes.

There are strawberry-flavored mousse cakes on the trolley, and the number "9" candles are in the style of horizontal lines, which is the source of the fire.

Everyone surrounded her and sang the birthday song, one in English and one in Chinese.The waiter recorded this precious moment for them with a mobile phone.

Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao clapped their hands, and after singing, "Little Zhuzi, please make a birthday wish."

Xiao Yu nodded her head, clasped her little hands together, closed her eyes, and sincerely made a birthday wish.

Nine years old birthday.She had a great time. As usual, Mr. Xiao gave her a very large red envelope, but first deposited it into the bank account for her.

On the dark road, the shadows of three people were reflected under the street lamps. Xiao Yu held the hands of Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao, and they walked to the parking space together.

Xiao Yu shook her hands, cheered with joy, and even hummed a song.

"Mommy, can we go again?"

"You have to ask your daddy."

"Daddy..."

"Well, okay, let's go back one more time."

"En!" Xiao Yu was so happy that she wanted to jump up.

She cherishes this hard-won time too much.

She hoped that this road could be a little longer, a little longer.

The author has something to say: Regarding the dialogue between the foreigner Caser and Xiao Yu, I described it in English to show that Xiao Yu can understand foreign languages.This is one of the foreshadowings of the following chapters.

In addition, English words occasionally appear in the piano lessons in the article, because I personally study foreign languages. (Basically, I have searched for translations on the Internet and will comment.)

So I hope everyone will not argue about this, okay?It's just that I can understand it better personally, and I will also post comments, so please don't, don't argue about this.

(°v°) I wish everyone a happy 520!Leave me a comment, okay?

The average update time in the future is every other day, and then every 2-3 days.The next update will be on Friday (22nd).
