Chapter 2923 Stubbornness
Zhu Gan was stunned for a moment when he found that the adult just smiled at him and turned his head away.

Then Zhu Gan felt a little amused at the nervousness he felt before coming here.

It looks away.

He shook his head slightly again.

There was no more sound.

It stood next to Lord Xiao Xiao's seat.

My eyes were also directed to the performers on the stage.

……

It rarely sees human cubs in this state.

More often than not, it appears next to human cubs in need of help.

It sees more...

It's a crying human cub...

The terrified human child...

And, the lonely human cub...

……

Instead of a human kid smiling like this...

Proud human cub...

A focused human cub...

……

Zhu Gan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Such human cubs...are pretty good.

……

"Ah~"

Xie Chuchu exclaimed softly.

"The next one is Xue Jiamin."

She couldn't help but clench her hands tightly together.

She is not a professional.

Unable to express a professional opinion.

But as far as her own hearing was concerned, the previous contestants all played very well.

At least she didn't hear anything wrong.

All very smooth.

She was also very moved by what she heard.

In her opinion, it was not even at the level of an elementary school student.

Kids nowadays are really getting smarter and smarter.

She sighed in her heart.

At the same time, I was also a little worried about Xue Jiamin's performance.

The competitors are so strong.

Will Xue Jiamin be nervous?
She stared intently at the small figure walking onto the stage.

Xue Jiamin, you said you wanted to win the championship.

Well, let the judges see your strength.

Come on!

……

Xiao Xiao's eyes moved slightly.

He saw Zhugan lying on the ground.

There was a smile in his eyes.

Zhu Gan still remembered to avoid Xue Jiamin.

but……

His eyes fell on the child on the stage who was bending over to say hello.

Compared to yesterday, Xue Jiamin's expression was more serious today.

It seems that the performance of the previous contestants put a lot of pressure on this child.

……

Melodious music flows from the child's fingertips.

It was the first time that Xie Chuchu felt so nervous while listening to a performance.

She clenched her fingers.

Without blinking.

The little boy on the stage was enveloped in glory.

His slightly tense expression showed extraordinary concentration.

This look made Xie Chuchu put aside some of the worries in her heart.

She pursed her lips.

The slightly intense piano music mixed with her heartbeat made her scalp tingle.

I don’t know if it’s because the performer is Xue Jiamin, my younger brother…

Or is it because of Xue Jiamin’s choice of song?
From what she had listened to so far, Xue Jiamin's performance was the one that gave her the greatest stimulation and the one that caused her the biggest reaction.

……

The song is over.

Xue Jiamin took a deep breath.

Then get up.

……

"Clap~"

"Pa bang bang~"

The intermittent applause merged into a thunderous wave.

It was like it was going to blow the roof off the concert hall.

……

"Pa bang bang~"

Xie Chuchu clapped vigorously.

so amazing.

She thought Xue Jiamin’s performance was amazing.

This kid...

Seeing him shining on the stage...

It really made it impossible for her to associate him with the mischievous, outspoken kid she had previously thought of.

People are indeed multifaceted.

She felt that after seeing Xue Jiamin on stage, she should be more tolerant of Xue Jiamin in the daily world.

……

"Xiuxiu."

Xie Chuchu turned and looked at her friend.

“He played well, didn’t he?”

Compared to her who has no musical talent at all, Xiuxiu, who can play musical instruments and has a high level of musical literacy, obviously has more say. …

"very good."

Chi Xiu Ke nodded.

"Xue Jiamin performed very well this time."

"He played this piece smoothly and powerfully."

“It’s easy to infect the audience.”

"Chu Chu, I think Xue Jiamin has a high chance of making it to the finals."

This is based on the performance of previous contestants.

But after all, there are other contestants coming up.

Don't say too much.

……

"real?!"

Xie Chuchu's eyes lit up.

……

“It’s just my personal opinion.”

Chi Xiu Ke smiled.

"In the end, it all depends on the judges' discussion."

……

"Uh-huh."

Xie Chuchu nodded.

"I know."

But just Xiuxiu's words made her feel very happy.

……

After receiving a lot of praise from the judges, Xue Jiamin bowed to express his gratitude.

He was about to turn around.

Suddenly remembering something, he stopped what he was doing.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the audience in front of him.

……

"Hey, Xue Jiamin is looking at the audience."

Xie Chuchu immediately noticed the change in Xue Jiamin's gaze.

……

She frowned slightly.

"he-"

"what!"

She covered her mouth.

So as not to make too much noise.

She moved her hand slightly away.

He whispered to Chi Xiu Ke who was looking over.

"I forgot to check if there were any leopards in the field..."

Although at that time she thought this "deal" was a trick to fool Xue Jiamin.

But she also didn't plan to do nothing.

She didn't believe that what Xue Jiamin saw in the concert hall was a leopard.

I also don't want to believe that it was Xue Jiamin's hallucination.

She would rather believe that Xue Jiamin did see something.

I just misjudged the other person's appearance.

Not a leopard.

It definitely couldn't be a leopard.

But other than the leopard...

What will it be?
Maybe a puppy dressed up by its owner to look like a leopard?

……

but……

Xie Chuchu looked around.

Apart from the special case of Master Xiao, no one would bring pets in.

After all, what if the pet starts barking in the middle of a contestant’s performance?
Doesn’t this affect the players’ performance?
Speaking of...

She was surprised that Master Xiao could bring Jiu in.

She reasonably suspected that the ticket inspector was bewitched by Jiu's appearance.
but……

Jiu is really very well-behaved.

Yesterday and today, there was no sound at all.

Is a particularly qualified audience.

She made a lot of noises.

……

"No……"

Xie Chuchu murmured.

Apart from Ajiu in Master Xiao's arms, she didn't see any other animals.

……

"I didn't see it either."

When Chi Xiu Ke heard Xie Chu Chu say that Xue Jiamin was looking at the audience, she immediately understood what the child was looking for.

She marveled at the child's obsession with the leopard.

……

"Or maybe it's not here today..."

Xie Chuchu muttered.

"Or maybe Xue Jiamin made a mistake yesterday."

If Xue Jiamin had seen the leopard in its entirety, she would have felt guilty saying that the child had seen it wrong.

But the child only saw a tail yesterday.

Who knows if that is a tail?
Maybe it’s some decoration on someone’s body or bag?
……

"Xue Jiamin seems a little disappointed."

Chi Xiu Ke noticed a hint of loss across the child's face before he left the stage.

……

"..."

Xie Chuchu looked at the child's back.

The name of the next contestant came to my ears.

"Children are stubborn..."
