Amidst enthusiastic applause, Yang Zhiyao was preparing to bow and leave the stage.

Director Zhou Xing gave the host a look, and the other person immediately understood.

She then took the wireless microphone and quickly walked onto the stage.

"Little Zhiyao, please wait a moment."

"Auntie would like to borrow a little time to interview you, is that alright?"

Yang Zhiyao grinned after hearing this and nodded obediently.

Seeing this interaction, the parents and teachers were filled with envy.

They would wait until the child finished performing before eagerly seeking the host's attention.

Yang Zhiyao, however, was invited to be interviewed by the host while standing on the stage.

This contrast made them feel a strong sense of disparity.

However, Yang Xue simply smiled as she looked at her daughter in the camera lens.

That expression seemed to say, "Basic stuff, don't be silly."

In the sunlight, Yang Zhiyao's dark eyes shone brightly, and her fair, rosy face resembled a peeled boiled egg.

Director Zhou Xing looked at the adorable children in front of the camera and grew increasingly fond of them, praising them repeatedly in his heart:

"This kid's singing is absolutely amazing!"

"The third season of 'Star Kids Show' is scheduled to start filming in the winter, so I have to sign this girl!"

"I wonder how good his language skills are."

"Even if it doesn't work out, we should still nurture him properly. He's so handsome; it would be a shame to just let him go."

Just as Zhou Xing was thinking this, the host asked the first question.

"Little Zhiyao, how do you feel about this singing competition?"

Yang Zhiyao took the microphone from the host and answered gracefully:

"First of all, I don't think this is a competition; I think it's a performance for everyone to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"In addition, I am honored and happy to be able to perform with my friends and present the best show to everyone."

A round of applause erupted immediately, and Principal Zhang Jinqiu couldn't hide her smile as she clapped enthusiastically.

Zhou Xing was so shocked that his eyes widened instantly, and he almost blurted out "Holy crap!"

Then he uttered a sigh that almost everyone has ever made.

"This guy is 6 years old???"

The girl's answer surprised even the female host.

I was expecting the other person to give a simple and slow reply like, "I'm very happy, I'm very joyful."

Unexpectedly, this kid not only communicates without barriers, but also speaks with high emotional intelligence, even using adverbs like "firstly" and "in addition".

This is practically a "little sister" who has cultivated to perfection!

The host took a deep breath and began asking the second question.

This time, she's going to put the baby through a bit more intense.

"Zhiyao, you had a setback just now. But with your mother's encouragement, you made a good adjustment."

"What was your thought process like?"

When the host asked this question, all the children were dumbfounded.

Children have limited vocabulary, and complex terms like "journey of the heart" are beyond their comprehension.

However, this problem was no challenge for Yang Zhiyao at all.

"The support of my family and teachers is the source of my motivation."

“I usually perform with my mom, but this time I’m a little panicked because she’s not there to protect me.”

"But I remembered her teachings to me: if you make a mistake, learn from it and start over. Don't let a temporary setback get you stuck in the mud."

"In addition, the timely appearance of my family gave me a lot of motivation, so I stopped panicking!"

Yang Zhiyao's logic was meticulous and clear, and she also shared her experience with everyone.

This answer left everyone breathless.

Lin Chengdong, who had been lingering in the audience, suddenly stood up and listened to the 6-year-old's eloquent speech. He felt a sudden inspiration.

On the teachers' platform, Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she praised the children in her class.

"Oh my, you guys tell me, I've really found a treasure girl."

"Whose child is as valued as our Zhizhi by the director of Kyoto TV!"

"After singing, they also have to give an exclusive interview on stage."

The teachers from the other classes stood there silently, not uttering a single word as they chatted.

But their eyes conveyed awkwardness, bitterness, and disgust.

However, Zhang Yan ignored this and continued talking to herself.

"Teacher Wang, Miaomiao from your class performed exceptionally well today. She must have been interviewed, right?"

"I'm really curious about what the host asked from the audience, and how many minutes it lasted?"

Zhang Yan spoke sarcastically, immediately targeting Teacher Wang.

When Yang Zhiyao performed poorly, she was the one who made the most sarcastic remarks.

【What's wrong with Zhizhi? She usually behaves so well, why is she failing at this crucial moment?】

Sigh, it's all thanks to Miaomiao from our class. If it weren't for her saving the day, this competition would have been a real laughing stock.

[I think Zhizhi is quite excellent, but unfortunately her mental fortitude is too weak. Why don't you send her to our class first? I'm quite good at early childhood psychology counseling.]

Zhang Yan endured the mocking words and the scrutinizing glances from the other teachers.

Now, we can finally hold our heads high and get our revenge. The humiliation we suffered before must be repaid tenfold.

"Let's just say, how many kids can be as logically clear and confident in answering questions from the host as Zhizhi?"

"Teacher Wang, Miaomiao in your class is also great. Why don't you go up on stage and try to get her a chance?"

Teacher Wang remained silent because the program schedule was tight and He Miaomiao had not yet been interviewed.

Seeing Yang Zhiyao shining on stage, what's the point of this competition?

She glared at Zhang Yan angrily, then silently walked away.

Zhang Yan watched her retreating figure and made a funny face like a child.

...

On stage, the host hadn't prepared many questions.

Seeing that she couldn't stump Yang Zhiyao, she secretly gave the chief director Zhou Xing a look that suggested she either stay or leave.

Zhou Xing was not about to let such an opportunity slip by, and he made a gesture to continue.

The host understood and reacted quickly, directly addressing the issue to the music itself.

"I heard this song was written by your mother. From your perspective, what is your understanding of this song?"

This question is clearly more profound than the previous two, so much so that many parents who were planning to leave chose to stay a little longer.

They were also eager to know more about the song.

Yang Zhiyao took a long time to think about this problem.

Many past images and details flooded her mind.

The host subconsciously realized that his question was a bit difficult and muttered to himself, "This is bad."

Seeing the confused and bewildered looks on the faces of the audience, the host was about to try to steer the conversation towards a new question when he heard a melodious and deep piano tune coming from the speakers behind him.

That was the poignant "The Lone Warrior".

Yang Zhiyao suddenly turned to the screen and looked at her mother behind her, who was quietly preparing her emotionally.

A hint of heartache flashed in the little girl's eyes. She moved her lips slightly and slowly spoke:

"The song is called 'The Lone Warrior,' and it was written and taught to me by my mother."

"In this song, I not only felt my mother's deepest love, but also her indomitable will and tenacity..."

"I vaguely remember the day she took me out of the house, it was raining heavily..."

As the piano music played, Yang Xue's consciousness suddenly entered the little girl's inner world.

That was a world once filled with cold and darkness, until she met an angel radiating blue light...
