I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

As the four girls approached the crowd, they heard the music.

When they got closer, they saw a street band performing inside.

Many of the onlookers were holding up their mobile phones to take pictures.

In the circle, in addition to the performing band, there were also some Russians dancing to the music.

A Russian old man twisted his body without getting stuck, but he was still dancing happily, completely immersed in his own world.

There was also an elderly couple, dancing face to face, hand in hand, gazing at each other, their eyes overflowing with happiness.

The most interesting one is a family of three. The doll is probably only a few months old. It is sandwiched between its dancing parents and occasionally burps.

There was a large square box in front of the band, and occasionally someone would come over and throw some coins in.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Hey, the atmosphere here is really good."

Zhang Caifeng said, "Yes."

Su Xing nodded and said, "It's quite interesting."

There are also many artists performing on the streets in China. However, they usually perform by themselves, and the onlookers just appreciate and take pictures. There are very few people who join in. Moreover, the participants are of all ages, and they don’t feel embarrassed even if they can’t keep up with the rhythm. They show themselves openly.

Most Chinese people are still more reserved.

Pei Shiqi was infected by the atmosphere and said excitedly, "Shall we go in and dance too?"

"Uh..." Zhang Caifeng quickly waved her hands, "I can't... I don't know how to dance..."

"It's okay." Pei Shiqi pointed at the people dancing in the circle and said, "Look at them, some of them obviously don't know how to dance."

Zhang Caifeng lowered her voice even more, "But, but it's very embarrassing..."

"There's nothing embarrassing about this." Gao Yang said to Pei Shiqi, "I'll go with you."

She handed the backpack to Zhang Caifeng, "Help me hold it."

Zhang Caifeng subconsciously took the backpack.

Pei Shiqi asked Su Xing, "Su Xing, are you going?"

Su Xing smiled and said, "You go first, I'll talk to you later."

Pei Shiqi also took off her backpack and handed it to Su Xing, "Then you can help me carry it too."

Then she stretched out her hand to Gao Yang and said, "Let's go."

Gao Yang held Pei Shiqi's hand, and the two entered the performing arts circle.

Pei Shiqi has been exposed to art since she was a child. She is a versatile girl. She dances very well, is full of energy and is very contagious.

Although Gao Yang's dancing is not as natural as Pei Shiqi's, there is a kind of free and easy beauty in her movements.

Their joining drew warm applause from many onlookers.

Someone was shouting something. Although Su Xing and the others couldn't understand it, they seemed to be cheering.

Zhang Caifeng looked at Pei Shiqi and Gao Yang who were dancing confidently and gracefully, with an envious look on her face.

She really envied her roommates' cheerful and confident personalities, but she was a shy and introverted person at heart, and there was nothing she could do to be like them.

Su Xing had long noticed Zhang Caifeng's envy and embarrassment.

She used to be a person with extreme social anxiety and understood Zhang Caifeng's feelings too well, so she did not go dancing with Gao Yang, Pei Shiqi and the others. She just stayed with Zhang Caifeng, hoping that she would not be so uneasy and would not worry about whether Pei Shiqi and the others would be unhappy because of her refusal to dance.

Everyone has a different personality and is good at different things. It doesn’t matter whether you dance or not, as long as you feel comfortable.

Zhang Caifeng guessed Su Xing's thoughts and looked at him gratefully. Then she said, "Su Xing, if you want to go up and dance, go ahead. I'll help you watch things."

Su Xing turned around and smiled at her gently, "I'll watch here for a while. It's also a pleasure to appreciate their singing and dancing."

Zhang Caifeng stopped trying to persuade her.

Gao Yang and Pei Shiqi danced two songs to the rhythm and then walked out of the circle.

They took out some water from their backpacks and drank a few sips.

This band previously sang Russian local songs.

The rhythm is pretty good, but they don’t understand the lyrics.

At this time, they suddenly changed to an English song "byebyebye".

This is a song by a band in the United States. It was very popular a few years ago and people in many countries would find it familiar.

Some people who can sing even hummed along.

Gao Yang suddenly asked Su Xing, "Hey? Fourth Brother, didn't you learn to play the flute? Can you play Jie Ge?"

Su Xing said, "I have memorized the sheet music of some English songs, but I have never memorized the sheet music of this song."

Gao Yang felt a little sorry. After a moment's thought, she added, "Don't you always have your flute with you? Perhaps there's a piece you know soon. You can play it with them and let these Russians get to know our Chinese musical instruments."

Su Xing said, "The flute is in the car."

She is now used to carrying her bamboo flute wherever she goes.

During this holiday, she went on a business trip to Ji City, and then came to Vladivostok for fun, and her flute was always with her.

But today she went shopping with some roommates and did not carry the flute with her. Instead, she left it in the car with some of the things she bought.

Pei Shiqi took out her phone and asked, "Shall I send a message to the driver and ask him to bring it to you?"

Su Xing thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine."

Pei Shiqi sent a message to the driver and attached the location.

The driver quickly replied and said it was no problem.

The car stopped not far from them, and not long after, the driver came over with Su Xing's bamboo flute.

Su Xing thanked him and wanted to pay him a tip for running errands.

The driver waved his hand and refused, "What are you talking about? What tip or no tip? It's just a small matter. It's not far."

The cost of renting a car these days is not low. The girl is from the same hometown as him. He just delivered something, it was just a few steps away. How could he have the nerve to charge her for running errands?

Seeing the driver refuse, Su Xing didn't insist anymore and thanked him again, "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

At this time, several members of the band also stopped to drink water and prepared to rest for a while before continuing.

They finished their water, talked quietly, and studied the song they were going to sing next.

Su Xing walked over.

I asked in English: "Hello, I have a Chinese musical instrument here. If you are going to sing English songs next and there are some songs I know, can I join in with my instrument?"

As she spoke, she waved the bamboo flute in her hand towards them.

The lead singer of this band sings English songs very well, so she thinks they must be able to speak English.

The Russian street performers were all stunned.

Then they talked for a few more words.

Afterwards, the lead singer asked Su Xing in English, "What is the name of your Chinese musical instrument?"

Su Xing replied: "It's called a bamboo flute, a wind instrument."

The lead singer added, "We are also curious about the sound of this instrument. Let's choose a song that you and I both know and play it together."

Su Xing was very happy. She smiled and said, "Okay."
