Chapter 2925: Changing the Topic
Xie Chuchu touched her cheek.

My ears unconsciously listened to the conversations nearby.

When Xie Chuchu heard that a middle-aged lady predicted that Xue Jiamin would be on the finalist list, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Hey.

She was secretly happy.

……

Judging from the lady's analysis, it is obvious that she has some knowledge of piano.

Well, there is clearly some credibility to the list she predicted.

Plus, 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, no, wait to hear the judges call out Xue Jiamin's name.

……

"Oh yeah~"

Xie Chuchu cheered softly.

"Xiuxiu!"

She grabbed her friend's hand, "Did you hear that?!"

"Xue Jiamin has entered the finals!"

……

"Ah."

Chi Xiu Ke also smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"I heard."

"Great."

"Chu Chu, congratulations."

……

"Cough cough~"

Xie Chuchu uncomfortably restrained the joy on her face, and her eyes became a little vague.

"Congratulations to me?"

"It's not like I'm in the finals."

……

Chi Xiu Ke found it a little funny that her friend said one thing and meant another.

"My eyes are gone from laughing, and it has nothing to do with you?"

……

"Have it?"

Xie Chuchu subconsciously touched her eyes.

"How can there be..."

Xie Chuchu said embarrassedly.

……

Chi Xiu Ke didn't argue about this with her friends.

She considerately changed the subject.

"Let's go."

……

"what?"

Xie Chuchu was stunned.

"Walk?"

What to go?
……

Chi Xiu Ke sighed helplessly.

"Now the game is over."

"Aren't you going backstage to see Xue Jiamin?"

……

what?
Xie Chuchu couldn't help but glance at the stage.

indeed.

The stage that was quite lively just now is now empty.

The audience seats around me were also mostly empty.

Everyone stood up and walked towards the door.

of course.

Some people also walked towards the stage.

Obviously.

Those people are the contestants' family members.

……

"What are you still doing?"

Chi Xiu Ke pulled her friend's hand.

"gone."

"Don't keep Xue Jiamin waiting too long."

……

"He doesn't know—"

Xie Chuchu realized something was wrong halfway through her speech and shut up.

What's her brain?
How could Xue Jiamin not know she was coming today?
The child also entrusted her with a task.

Speaking of this mission…

Xie Chuchu frowned slightly.

"If the kid 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 fulfill the child's wish, which can also be regarded as a reward for the child's excellent performance.

but……

The reward the child wants is beyond her ability to obtain.

She didn't find the leopard.

I don’t even know what the leopard with a human face in the child’s mouth is?
Meeting the child like this...

Thinking of the expectant look on that child's face yesterday...

She felt inexplicably guilty.

……

Xie Chuchu paused in her movement to stand up.

……

"what happened?"

Chi Xiu Ke looked confused.

"Did you lose anything?"

She didn't hear Xie Chuchu's mumbling just now.

At this time, the concert hall was a little noisy because of the audience leaving. …

"no……"

Xie Chuchu waved her hand.

"that is……"

Xie Chuchu pursed her lips.

"I'm just worried that the kid will ask me about the leopard..."

“In the end, I found nothing.”

"Don't tell him anything..."

Xie Chuchu's voice became lower and lower.

"Will he... be disappointed?"

……

Uh……

Chi Xiu Ke was stunned.

The shining eyes of Xue Jiamin when he mentioned the leopard yesterday appeared in front of her.

If they hadn't noticed the child's searching gaze towards the audience, they could still have hoped for the best... maybe the child had temporarily forgotten about the leopard...

But now they can't be so optimistic.

"...There's nothing we can do about it."

Chi Xiu Ke smiled bitterly.

"We just didn't find any leopards in the concert hall."

They didn't even know how to tell a white lie about this matter.

"We can only tell Xue Jiamin the truth."

……

"Ah~"

Xie Chuchu sighed loudly.

"I know."

"But I still feel a little embarrassed to meet the child like this."

"I always feel like I have let down that child."

Obviously, there was no guarantee that I would find anything at the beginning.

I clearly told that kid... about the leopard or something... that kid must have seen it wrong...

So what is she struggling with now?
Xie Chuchu reached out and knocked on her head.

……

"But if you don't go now..."

Seeing the two girls fell silent, Xiao Xiao spoke in a gentle voice.

"Xue Jiamin didn't just get any news about the leopard."

"I didn't even get to see my sister who could share my joy of advancement."

"He must feel very lost when he sees other people having fun alone..."

……

"How can he be so pitiful?"

Xie Chuchu burst out laughing.

If the child didn't have a "long criminal record" and a "bad record" in her eyes, she would have been moved by Master Xiao's few words.

"Teacher Gao is here."

“There were also students with him whose parents did not come.”

"Even if he's alone, he can enjoy himself."

Although she said a lot of things to prove that Xue Jiamin would not be alone, Xie Chuchu still walked towards the stage.

……

A hint of smile appeared in Chi Xiu Ke's eyes.

She turned and winked at Xiao Xiao.

Then I followed my friends' footsteps.

……

Xiao Xiao turned around and smiled at Zhu Qian.

"Goodbye."

His eyebrows curved slightly.

"See you tomorrow."

……

Xiao Xiao took a step forward.

……

Zhu Gan raised his body.

When the results were announced just now, it lay down again.

The child, who was initially a stranger, has left a subtle impression in its mind over the past two days.

……

See you tomorrow……

It looked at Lord Xiao Xiao's departing back.

The corners of his mouth were grinning.

Then see you tomorrow.

……

Just as Xie Chuchu had worried before...

When Xue Jiamin saw Xie Chuchu, the first thing that came out of his mouth was -
"Sister, did you see the leopard?"

……

Xie Chuchu: …

She pursed her lips slightly.

"Xue Jiamin, you performed very well today."

She changed the subject.

She was worried that if she said something that revealed nothing, it would no longer be possible to congratulate the child on his achievement.

"Congratulations on making it to the finals."

Speaking of this, Xie Chuchu couldn't help but narrowed her eyes.

A deep smile.

This is something to be happy about and even celebrate, isn't it?

……

"Thank you."

Xue Jiamin grinned subconsciously.

There was a hint of bright pride on his face.

Regarding the fact that I made it to the finals -
Even though I was confident before...

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
