Chapter 2884 Retreating to Advance
Xie Chuchu smiled in her heart.

It was indeed a child.

"But that's not what your teacher said."

Xie Chuchu still looked skeptical.

"She said you weren't in the right state when you practiced the piano this afternoon."

"Are you nervous?"

Xie Chuchu looked suddenly enlightened.

"Too."

"The game will be tomorrow."

“It’s still a game of that magnitude.”

"Even if you're nervous-"

"I'm not nervous!"

The child screamed again.

……

"If you're not nervous, why are you hiding in the house?"

Xie Chuchu curled her lips.

"You looked nervous just now, didn't you?"

……

"no!"

The childish face turned red.

"It was the teacher who asked me to rest in the room for a while!"

He didn't want to go back to the room to rest on his own!
……

"Then you know why the teacher asked you to go back to your room to rest, right?"

Xie Chuchu "pressed forward step by step".

"You're not sick."

"You're not tired either."

"The other kids are practicing and making final adjustments for tomorrow's competition."

"Why did the teacher let you come back?"

……

The angry expression on Xue Jiamin's face paused.

The look in his eyes as he stared at Xie Chuchu shifted unconsciously.

That, that's...

The child clenched his hands at his sides.

……

"I think the teacher has told you the reason."

Xie Chuchu's eyes swept across the child's clenched fists.

"You have something on your mind."

Seeing the child open his mouth to speak, Xie Chuchu quickly uttered the next sentence.

"Don't deny it."

She didn't want to listen to the child's excuses.

"The teacher can tell from your piano playing."

"You know that yourself."

Xie Chuchu stared into the child's eyes.

"I think you know whether the song is played well or not."

"I heard from your teacher that you take tomorrow's game very seriously."

"Tomorrow's game is very important."

"You've put a lot of effort into this and practiced the piano for a long time..."

……

The child turned his face away slightly.

There was no sound.

……

"…The competition will start tomorrow…"

Xie Chuchu's words became more earnest.

"You've been practicing the piano for so long... don't you want to show your best?"

"You're thinking about this and that now. I don't think you'll cry when the results come out tomorrow-"

"I won't cry!"

The child defended himself.

He would never cry like a girl.

……

"Oh?"

Xie Chuchu obviously didn't believe it.

"Then tomorrow your friends will all advance..."

"You are the only one eliminated..."

Xie Chuchu described a not-so-nice picture for the child.

"They still have to stay and prepare for the next game."

"The teacher asked if you want to stay and cheer for them?"

"Or should you ask your parents to pick you up?"

"The teacher has other students to take care of, so there is no way to send you back."

"If you stay, your friends will all be practicing and discussing the competition, and only you..."

“You don’t need to practice.”

“It’s impossible to discuss the game with them.”

"what are you doing?"

……

"I……"

The child stiffened his neck and said, "I will be promoted too!"

He won't be the one left behind!
……

"you sure?"

Xie Chuchu actually admired the child's abundant self-confidence.

“The kids who come to compete are all really good.”

"What makes you think you can beat them when you're not in your best condition?"

Even though she noticed that the corners of the child's eyes were slightly red, Xie Chuchu did not stop talking.

If you are soft-hearted at this time, all your efforts will be wasted.

This child is very stubborn and has his own ideas.

Sometimes you can't get his true feelings out of him unless you push him a little.

"Don't tell me you're at your best."

Xie Chuchu waved her hand.

"If you were at your best, you wouldn't be here right now."

"I wouldn't be here anymore."

……

"Xue Jiamin."

Xie Chuchu moved her body so that she could face the child.

"What on earth happened to you?"

"Can't I tell my teacher, my parents?"

"They are all worried about you."

"Tell us if you have any difficulties, and we will help you solve them together."

"You have to know that you are just a child. There are many things that you cannot solve as a child."

"But if children can't solve something, adults may not be able to solve it."

"Maybe if you tell me, the problem can be easily solved."

Xie Chuchu paused slightly.

"…Isn't there a sentence you learned in class?"

“Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.”

"It's no use for you to dwell on this issue alone."

"Why don't you just tell us and let everyone help you find a solution?"

"Teacher, Dad, Mom, and me, we all want to help you."

Xie Chuchu just felt that she had never been so earnest in her twenty-something years of life.

……

"besides……"

Xie Chuchu used another big move.

"Do you want to lose the game?"

She knew that the child had a strong sense of self-esteem and was very unwilling to admit defeat.

Any words that belittle or deny him will make the child very angry.

"Don't you want to?"

Looking at the child's angry look, Xie Chuchu understood clearly.

"I know you don't want to."

"I don't want you to lose either."

"So you need to quickly solve your problem and recover your condition."

"There's no time."

"You have a game tomorrow."

"Why are you still looking for trouble by yourself?"

……

The child opened his mouth.

There was an obvious wavering look in his eyes.

……

"Chu Chu is amazing."

Chi Xiu Ke whispered.

This child is indeed not easy to communicate with.

Chuchu said before that she was not good at communicating with children or comforting them...

It turns out that I was just being modest.

She still believed it.

Believe it or not.

……

Now it seems... isn't it doing very well?

Chi Xiu Ke frowned.

It turns out that Chuchu was being modest before.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao responded softly.

Xie Chuchu is a very smart girl.

……

"I've said everything that needs to be said."

Xie Chuchu decided to take one last drastic measure.

"If you still don't want to say it."

"I won't force you."

"of course."

"I can't force you."

Xie Chuchu smiled.

"Just don't regret it."

"Then I'll leave first."

"If you have any questions, ask the teacher."

"Or you can call your parents."

Xie Chuchu stood up.

"All right."

"That's it."

"Again-"

Xie Chuchu showed a sly smile towards Chi Xiu Ke and Xiao Xiao.

She winked at the two of them.

Then she looked down at the hem of her clothes.

"Why are you pulling me?"

……

The child was stunned.

He seemed unaware of his unconscious action.

After realizing that his hand was really holding Xie Chuchu's clothes, the child's expression suddenly became awkward.
