"You want to dance with Ayu..."
Xia Nuo nodded vigorously and then explained the reason for this decision:
"Ayu is very shy and has only two friends in class, me and You You. Since You You is already playing the drum set, I can't abandon her."
It sounded as if I had abandoned Ayu!
"Then, why don't the three of you rehearse the act together?"
Chen Xuan rubbed Xia Nuo's nose, "If the two of you want to dance, you'll probably need accompaniment. When the time comes, we can have You You play the drums in the back while you two dance in the front. Isn't that taking care of everyone?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xia Nuo immediately started hopping around with excitement upon hearing this, "I'll ask Ayu in class tomorrow!"
After discussing with Xia Nuo, Chen Xuan turned and gave Fang You a meaningful glance, with a look that said, 'See how impressive Mom is?'.
Do you think I would be grateful to you, Mom?
Your son, I can go on stage to play the drums all by myself!
Luo Xianyu was also worrying about the Children's Day performance, unsure of how to approach Xia Nuo.
So when Xia Nuo took the initiative to come to her with the idea of performing together, the expression on Ayu's face visibly relaxed and blossomed like a flower.
"Just the two of us dancing? I, I can't dance..."
"No problem, I'll teach you!"
Xia Nuo patted Luo Xianyu on the shoulder and said, "Ayu, don't be afraid. You You will perform with us too. He will play the drum set in the back, and he's really good at it!"
"Hmm... Hmm..."
Luo Xianyu was a bit hesitant while talking to Xia Nuo.
But as soon as she made eye contact with Fang You, she immediately showed a flustered 'uneasy' expression!
[Luo Xianyu feels you're a bit superfluous, Energy +2]
Though it was quite cute.
But please, give me back that sweet little Ayu who made pinky promises with me!
Kids change their minds too fast!
To prepare for the Children's Day celebration, Fang You, Xia Nuo, and Luo Xianyu started their rehearsal.
Luo Xianyu came to Xia Nuo's house for the first time with her father!
Luo Xianyu knocked on the door.
"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!"
Xia Nuo stood at the door clapping her hands to welcome Luo Xianyu in.
As soon as Luo Xianyu entered the house, Xia Nuo came up close.
To stick with Ayu!
Luo Xianyu was so happy!
"This... is a gift for you."
It was a very cute and exquisite Ku Luomei hair clip.
"Thank you! I love it."
Xia Nuo took Luo Xianyu's gift and gave her a big hug.
A smile covered Luo Xianyu's face!
"Then, Ayu, I'll come to pick you up later."
"Bye, Dad!"
Luo Xianyu waved to her father.
Dad, hurry up and leave!
I want to cuddle with Nuo Nuo now!
"Come on in, welcome."
Xia Anyang enthusiastically welcomed little Ayu's arrival.
He truly hoped that in the future, Xia Nuo would bring more friends like this to the house to play.
Every polite and understanding adorable girl is the world's most precious gift to humanity!
"Let's practice in the music room over here!"
Xia Nuo held Luo Xianyu's hand and they both bounced over.
Luo Xianyu also bounced along.
But then she stopped bouncing.
Because she saw Fang You adjusting the drum set.
"Hmm."
Fang You greeted Luo Xianyu softly, and Luo Xianyu immediately put on an embarrassed face:
Embarrassed eyebrows, activate!
[Luo Xianyu really didn't expect you to be here, so annoying! Growth Energy +5]
After playing around for a while, Luo Xianyu and Xia Nuo began to prepare for the rehearsal.
"Nuo Nuo, what dance are we going to rehearse?"
Xia Nuo was caught off guard.
"Eh, what dance? No need to learn anything special!"
Xia Nuo said, "Just move to You You's drum beats, it's super simple!"
"..."
Luo Xianyu was puzzled, "How, how should I dance?"
"You just have to let You You show you, come, stand here, not too close, move over a bit, Ayu, or you'll get scared."
Xia Nuo directed Luo Xianyu to stand in front of the drum set.
Fang You sat in the middle of the children's drum set, pressing the bass drum with his foot and holding the sticks in both hands, looking very professional.
Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu adjusted their positions, then Xia Nuo signaled Fang You with an OK hand gesture:
"You You, begin!"
Speaking of which, with the stamina boost from "Unyielding Vitality," the cardio support from "Aerobic Expert;"
the rhythmic control of "Rhythmic Mastery," and the percussive enhancement of "Rhythm Great Emperor."
These talents gathered here were as if they were made for the drum set!
Drum set, hit it!
Fang You's drumming skills were already quite polished!
The piece he played was full of rhythm and dynamism, making even Luo Xianyu, hearing the melody for the first time, unable to help but nod her head and tap her feet.
Fang You drummed while enjoying the expression Luo Xianyu wore, conquered by his rhythm, pride leaping in his heart.
I, Fang You, the Great Emperor, have dedicated my life to the drums, relying on my own talent and effort.
Plagiarism, activated!
The drum set Fang You chose to perform was from the famous song "Protector of Flowers" by Li Keqin, a rhythm that was etched in his mind; one look at the drum score and he could play it, quickly finding his groove.
However, even if it was just the pure rhythm of the drums, it also had a strong dynamic impact.
Ah...
It's so embarrassing!
Although Luo Xianyu nodded her head a few times, she quickly just stood there frozen.
In sharp contrast to the lively and active Xia Nuo next door.
Xia Nuo was delighted like a goofball, dancing wildly to Fang You's beat, in a chaotic "crazy girl mode" where her arms and legs moved unpredictably.
Of course, what shocked Fang You the most was that Xia Nuo didn't catch a single beat correctly!
To completely avoid my rhythm, that's also a kind of reverse genius, right?
Xia Nuo, having danced a round and noticed Luo Xianyu freezing up, immediately grabbed Luo Xianyu, trying to get her to enter the full-on dance mode with her.
"Come on, Ayu, let's dance together!"
"Hmm..."
Luo Xianyu wiggled and twisted her body, looking very reluctant; she shook her legs while making an embarrassed face, and coquettishly cried, "Don't~"
Her coy "Don't" showcased the full potential of human younglings' sweetness, enough for big sisters to study for a lifetime!
"Ayu, you can do it, you're the best."
Fang You also cheered Luo Xianyu on.
[Luo Xianyu thinks you're making her do something very embarrassing, Emotional Energy +4]
Ayu's favorability turnaround operation, failed!
Immersed in Fang You's drum beats, Xia Nuo soon became drenched in sweat.
"Alright, that's it for today's rehearsal!"
Xia Nuo was exhausted and immediately flung herself into Luo Xianyu's arms for a cuddle.
The two little girls sat duck-style, embracing each other.
"Ayu, did you find this dance fun?"
"Fun."
Luo Xianyu nodded, "Next rehearsal, I definitely have to try harder, to dance as fun as Nuo Nuo."
"Ayu can definitely do it, keep it up!"
Xia Nuo touched Luo Xianyu's little cheek, "Ayu is so cute!"
Luo Xianyu hugged Xia Nuo back, "Nuo Nuo is also so cute!"
Unbeknownst to them, the two children had become very, very close friends!
Watching his own child grow up and make new friendships with other kids, Fang You also marveled at how much kids change, more and more each day.
And just at that moment, Xia Nuo mistook Fang You's gaze for envy.
"You You, want to join in for a hug?"
Xia Nuo beckoned to Fang You with a beckoning cat gesture, inviting him closer.
"No."
Fang You twirled the drumsticks in his hands, indifferent to the girls' cuddling, his response was cold and decisive.
However, Xia Nuo couldn't help but cover her mouth at Fang You's attitude.
"Pfft... You You is also so cute!"
"Hey, what's cute about that?"
Fang You was somewhat bemused.
