Chapter 41 (1/2)

“Oh, oh…when is Brother Orange Juice going to be on the stage?” Xiaotu nodded, but continued to ask the same question.

“…” Teacher Zhao rolled his eyes with an exasperated expression on his face. Then he asked Xiaotu in a whisper, “Little girl, do you only have eyes for Brother Orange Juice?”

“Yep!” Xiaotu nodded vigorously.

“Brother Orange Juice and his class will appear on the stage in the second segment.” Teacher Zhao had flipped through the program list in his head. He turned to Xiaotu and said, “Coincidentally, during our class’s program, there is an open spot for someone to deliver flowers to them on the stage. I have a very good idea. Why don’t I let you do it?”

“Will I be delivering flowers to Brother Orange Juice?” Xiaotu immediately appeared intrigued.

“No, Brother Orange Juice is only in an accompanying role. You must deliver the flowers to the lead dancer,” Teacher Zhao said with an amused expression on his face.

“All right.” Xiaotu thought about it for a little while, and then she smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll deliver the flowers.”

“That’s great. But you must pay careful attention. The dancer wearing red clothes in the middle of the front row is the lead dancer.” Teacher Zhao gave Xiaotu careful instructions about what she was supposed to do.

As the host ended his opening remarks, melodious music could be heard from the stage, and a group of girls in white tutu dresses started entering the stage from both sides.

“Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me, small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me…”

As the music to the song “Edelweiss” played, the girls in the white tutu dresses twirled gracefully in sync with the melodious music. It was as if the stage had been suddenly transformed into a land of snow elves. The scene exuded a refreshing sense of longing.

Sitting in her seat as she watched the performance intently, Xiaotu felt in awe of how gorgeous the white tutu dresses the older sisters were wearing were.
