“No! No! I don’t want to go with you. I want to go find Brother Orange Juice!” Xiaotu continued to wiggle and scream at the top of her lungs.

“Okay, okay, okay…calm down. I’ll take you to go find Brother Orange Juice…” Upon noticing that all the parents who were passing by were starting to glance in their direction, Teacher Zhao quickly waved the white flag and surrendered to Xiaotu.

Despite struggling vigorously and screaming just moments before, Xiaotu instantly quieted down and obediently followed behind Teacher Zhao.

In the backstage area of the auditorium, the students were scattered all about as they waited for their cues. Some were chatting, some were memorizing song lyrics, and others were practicing dance moves.

Teacher Zhao led Xiaotu through the crowd of students as he headed in Cheng Zhiyan’s direction.

The students that they were passing all courteously greeted Teacher Zhao with smiles when they caught sight of him.

Teacher Zhao greeted each and every one of them as well by nodding and smiling.

After finally catching sight of Cheng Zhiyan, Xiaotu was just about to run toward him when a pretty girl in a white tutu dress beat her to him.

“Um…Cheng Zhiyan…this is for you…” Zhai Shiyu, in a beautiful white tutu dress, stared at Cheng Zhiyan with a shy expression as she extended her hand to reveal a piece of candy in her palm.

“Candy?” Cheng Zhiyan frowned slightly. Only Xiaotu liked to eat this sort of stuff.

“Yeah…it’s for all the students who are going to perform on stage. Everyone gets one.” Zhai Shiyu gazed at Cheng Zhiyan with an embarrassed expression, then she pointed to the other students and said, “I gave it to all of them as well. It wasn’t especially prepared for you.”
