CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 369 THE PERFORMANCE BEGINS

"Honestly, do you have to be this lovey-dovey?"

With a tone laced with a bit of complaint, some envy, and a little blessing, He Tong gracefully walked up to Yuxin, gently taking her hand.

"I haven’t seen you guys for a while, and you two are hugging already. If this goes on, won’t you be kissing in public soon?"

"Come on..."

Even someone as close as Tang Yuxin felt a bit overwhelmed by her best friend’s teasing.

Her face flushed as she turned to cast a sideways glance at Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow.

This girl actually dared to give him an eye roll?

Is it because she’s pregnant and feels like a treasure right now?

Oh...

Right, even if she wasn’t pregnant, she’s always a treasure to me.

Feels like he’s spoiled her to the point where she’s too fearless.

Watching Yuxin and He Tong chatting and laughing happily, Xiao Fei didn’t bother to join in, letting the two women have their fun.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fei stood aside, prepared to shield Yuxin from any careless passerby.

His wife now is even more cherished than usual.

"By the way, He Jie, are you and Bai Ge thinking of having another kid?"

"Why?"

Hearing Yuxin’s question, He Tong didn’t answer immediately, instead casting a subtle glance over, "Isn’t stealing our Xiao Yu enough, planning to steal more?"

"What do you mean by stealing!"

"Isn’t that right?"

He Tong’s lips curled into a smile.

"That girl of ours sometimes even calls out your Dabo’s name in her sleep, which leaves Zheyan and me quite helpless."

"Even for this dance, she said she’s doing it for your Dabo to see. That little girl, at such a young age, already has her elbow pointing outward! It’s driving me crazy!"

"Hehe... Hahaha... Then, how about Xiao Fei and I give your family a big dowry?"

"I’ll be waiting."

"If it’s not satisfactory, I’m not agreeing to Xiao Yu marrying into your family."

He Tong said with a smile on her face.

Obviously, even if there’s no dowry at all, as long as the two kids grow up to be like they are now, she wouldn’t stand in their way.

"By the way, did you find Xiao Yu’s flower?"

"Don’t even mention it!"

He Tong suddenly snorted lightly, "That girl actually wrote on it, hoping for her parents and her to be together forever... and added your Dabo’s name!"

"Puff...!"

Tang Yuxin couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughed.

This laugh, even He Tong, as a woman, was momentarily captivated.

A moment later.

He Tong couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch Yuxin’s face: "Yuxin, Tang Jie, Tang Goddess, you are just too beautiful... I’m a woman, and even I’m moved!"

"That won’t do!"

Tang Yuxin suddenly withdrew from He Tong’s hand, took a step back, and replied playfully.

"I’m my husband’s, and nobody else counts, not even women."

"Hah... as if!"

He Tong chuckled.

Just then, a teacher walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the children are ready, please take your seats!"

Since there were no assigned seats, everyone just sat wherever they liked.

Xiao Fei and He Tong naturally positioned Yuxin in the middle.

Before long, a kindergarten teacher appeared on the stage in front.

It wasn’t Teacher Qin.

This teacher held a microphone and gave a speech thanking the parents for their upbringing.

Then, it was time for the children’s performance.

The first to appear was a little girl they didn’t know.

Perhaps it was her first time performing in front of so many people; the little girl seemed a bit nervous.

After the teacher considerately held the microphone to her mouth, she said in a childish voice, "Hello everyone, I’m from class Little 1, called... called... uh? Dad, what’s my name again?"

Xiao Fei: "...?????"

The parents in the audience erupted into a burst of good-natured laughter.

On stage, the little girl seemed to have become so nervous that she forgot her own name.

She looked anxiously at her dad, who had come to the edge of the stage after seeing her entrance.

After her dad whispered her name to her, the charming little girl took a deep breath and slowly announced her name.

Then, accompanied by music, she began to dance elegantly.

To be honest, children’s dancing isn’t particularly appealing.

Whether it was the first child or the ones after, they were all like that.

However, each child danced with such earnestness, and their little mannerisms looked absolutely adorable.

Finally, it was Xiao Yu’s turn to perform.

"Hello everyone, I’m Bai Niangyu from class Little 4~"

"The dance I’m performing is ’The Peacock Flies Southeast’~"

Compared to the previous children, Bai Niangyu seemed much more composed...

She wasn’t nervous at all and danced beautifully throughout the entire performance.

When she finished, the parents offered enthusiastic applause.

"He Jie, Xiao Yu is really amazing!"

Tang Yuxin smiled at He Tong beside her.

He Tong’s eyes displayed a bit of pride, yet a hint of heartache.

"Xiao Yu, she’s been practicing so hard at home lately, that she’s sprained her ankle several times."

"That dedicated?"

This made Tang Yuxin even more impressed with Xiao Yu.

Watching Xiao Yu on stage, Xiao Fei waved his hand at her and smiled, then suddenly said, "Why do I feel like that child seems unhappy?"

"Really?"

Tang Yuxin and He Tong both looked over, and sure enough, noticed Xiao Yu’s head was lowered, looking quite dejected.

Even though she performed so well and received applause from all the parents, why is this child not happy at all?

He Tong was a bit worried.

But soon, the next act began.

This time, it happened to be Sanbao’s turn!

With Sanbao on stage, a bit of commotion arose among the parents.

"What an adorable child!"

"Such a beautiful little girl!"

"So beautiful at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up..."

Listening to the people around her, Tang Yuxin proudly hummed softly.

"Of course! She’s my daughter!"

He Tong, amused, gently patted Yuxin’s arm: "Alright, alright, I know your Dabo and Sanbao are little beauties, and they’ll be great beauties in the future, okay?"

Meanwhile.

On stage, Sanbao looked a little frightened.

This child has always been a bit timid, so Xiao Fei was worried something might happen to her, immediately waving his hand.

Seeing her father, Sanbao’s previously panicked heart settled down.

She approached the microphone the teacher had placed in front of her and opened her small mouth:

"Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Qingmeng from class Little 4, and the performance I’m doing is... Pi Ba Xing..."

"Qingmeng, it’s ’Pipa Xing’..."

The teacher beside her immediately corrected softly.

Sanbao was taken aback.

"Pi Ba Xing?"

Tilting her head to look at the teacher, her little expression couldn’t be more adorable.

Everyone: "..."

A moment later, the room filled with laughter once again.
