small beast

Zhao Xiaobao nodded in response.Zhao Xiaobao knows more about things in this circle than outsiders like Kevin, and Zhao Xiaobao has already seen Tan Zhe's extraordinary resume.The musical genius cultivated by such a musical family once made Zhao Xiaobao sigh.Before meeting each other, Zhao Xiaobao also thought that he had practiced the piano when he was four years old, never resting in cold and heat, and kept playing, so that he could reach today's level.Then Tan Zhe is two years younger than him, how did he get here.

When he actually met Tan Zhe, Zhao Xiaobao wasn't too shocked, and he wasn't very different from the Tan Zhe he imagined.Still a nice looking kid.Zhao Xiaobao held the tablet in his hand and leaned quietly on the sofa.Fingers on the thighs tap the rhythm lightly.

Kevin sat aside and didn't bother Zhao Xiaobao.

Occasionally looking sideways, you can only see Zhao Xiaobao's upturned nose and slightly pursed lips under the bridge of the nose.The lip color is beautiful.With such praise in his heart, Kevin quickly forced himself to put away such thoughts.

Tan Xiaozhe came to Zhao Xiaobao as soon as he left the game, clicked to continue the paused game, and nestled next to Zhao Xiaobao to continue playing.Suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhao Xiaobao if he was wearing earphones today.

Zhao Xiaobao said he didn't bring it, he was wearing a formal dress, and the clothes were neat and tidy, so he didn't put anything in his pockets.

Tan Xiaozhe frowned, "Then I'll go first. Go back to the room and play."

"Ah."

After Tan Xiaozhe finished speaking, he took the tablet and left.Originally, he wanted to stay and finish the remaining half of the game, but considering that Zhao Xiaobao was about to compete, he didn't want to disturb Zhao Xiaobao.

Don't ask why Tan Xiaozhe didn't turn off the voice when Zhao Xiaobao first came in.What his brother taught him is called deceiving the enemy.Don't look at those players who are older than him who can be his father look calm, but they are actually superficial.When you come to participate in the competition, you will not be nervous at all.Although he did this wickedly, it was still very effective. Didn't you see that the group of people sitting around him became more anxious?

After Tan Xiaozhe left, many people in the background breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they can't afford to offend Tan Xiaozhe, most people are looking at Tan Xiaozhe's mother's face.After all, she is the goddess in their hearts, and Tan Xiaozhe looks similar to his mother, so the older ones are not willing to blame the son of the goddess in their hearts.And the young one was worried about Tan's family, so he invisibly indulged Tan Xiaozhe's arrogance.

And Zhao Xiaobao, who seemed quite happy in the two conversations with Tan Xiaozhe, became the target of public criticism.Occasionally, he would receive unfriendly looks from some people, and most of these people thought that Zhao Xiaobao was trying to curry favor with the Tan family brothers.

Zhao Xiaobao didn't have time to pay attention to these people's thoughts, nor did he bother to pay attention to them.What they think is their business, as long as they don't say it in front of him, he won't bother.

Soon, it was Zhao Xiaobao's turn to play.

Kevin personally sent Zhao Xiaobao to the piano.Kevin himself is a good-looking handsome guy with the attitude of a gentleman, so he looks like an aristocrat escorting Her Majesty the Queen to the stage along the way.Many audience members sighed, but when they saw clearly the glasses on Zhao Xiaobao's nose, they stopped making any noise, and only focused on Zhao Xiaobao who was about to play the music on the stage.

It's a form of respect.What they lamented was the way they played and the beauty of the two, and the silence that followed was a kind of respect for the players.Most of the people who come to watch the game like piano, or they are in this industry and are in the field of music.Everyone knows how much bitterness, blood and tears have been paid by the contestants who are able to walk on this stage today.What's more, it's a player like the one on stage now.

Perhaps Zhao Xiaobao's blindness caused the audience to have a complicated and distressed emotion towards him on stage from the very beginning.

But Zhao Xiaobao's tunes are brisk and clear, and there are also cadences and frustrations in them.When he played this piece, even Lu Shi found it incredible.Because Lu Shi felt that Zhao Xiaobao's emotional state was really not suitable for playing such a cheerful tune.Moreover, he really couldn't imagine how Zhao Xiaobao composed such a song under the living conditions of these few years.

Zhao Xiaobao explained to Lu Shi, "Because sometimes I feel bitter in my heart, I always want to be happy, so I take my own little happiness in my heart and keep expanding and expanding, so that I can have a lot of happiness. .”

Such an explanation made Lu Shi very sad.He could almost imagine Zhao Xiaobao's life in the past few years, always cautiously trying to win Zhao Xin's love.

In Lu Shi's opinion, this is extremely stupid and worthless.

But when Zhao Xiaobao said this, Lu Shi did not mock Zhao Xiaobao.No one can stop a child from admiring and loving his father, right?

Besides, the person who took Zhao Xiaobao's other love was Lu Shi.Lu Shi really had no right to say anything.I just changed Zhao Xiaobao's name in my heart.Maybe we can call this kid Xiaoqiang.What a persevering child, he bears the burden of humiliation. Even if the plan fails, it is enough to prove his psychological endurance.After being hit hard, no one else needs to intervene, he will lick his wounds and heal himself.

As Lu Shi said, Zhao Xiaobao is like this.He is sitting there now with a calm and gentle expression, completely unable to see that he was hit by the double blow of blindness and betrayal just a few months ago.

During the rehearsal two days ago, Zhao Xiaobao deliberately observed the angle of the stage and the direction of the judges' seats and the auditorium.At the end of the song, he stood up calmly and took a curtain call. He greeted the warm applause of countless audiences, walked to the front of the stage, bent down gracefully, and bowed deeply.This grateful child can be seen from the degree to which his straight waist bends down.I don't want to put on a humble gesture to show everyone, but thank you for liking my music, thank you for liking.

Then it's scoring time.

Zhao Xiaobao returned to the backstage, and Kevin was waiting beside him, and took him back to the position he had just sat down.

"How do you feel?" Kevin was a little excited.He doesn't quite understand it, as long as it sounds good to him.But the players waiting in the background are all from the industry, and hearing their one-star comments at the end of the song is enough to make Kevin proud of Zhao Xiaobao.Before Zhao Xiaobao could answer his question, Kevin continued, "I'll take you out to celebrate tonight."

Zhao Xiaobao didn't refuse this time, he nodded and agreed with a smile.After Kevin left that day, he specifically called Zhao Xiaobao, to the effect that he should be treated as a friend by Zhao Xiaobao, so don't think too much about it.You can come to him for anything, so the two chatted for a long time.

It just so happens that today is his birthday.

"We'll leave when it's over." Zhao Xiaobao said, feeling that the place next to him was recessed.After Tan Xiaozhe sat down, he started his game again.

"Why are you back again?"

"It's annoying. My brother told me to go back after the end." Tan Xiaozhe muttered dissatisfiedly, continuing his game.His room card is with Lee, and Lee sits behind the judges' seat and waits on Tan Jin.

Zhao Xiaobao smiled without saying a word.

He was also under such strict control by Zhao Xin.He used to be controlled by Zhao Xin every day when he ate, drank, lived, and traveled.Many times, he wanted to prepare a dinner for Zhao Xin, just like the public service advertisements on TV, preparing a dinner for his father on Father's Day.But the result of things is often Zhao Xin's anger, and he will say to Zhao Xiaobao sternly, "Your hands are for playing the piano."

Even so, Zhao Xiaobao learned a lot while Zhao Xin was not around.He just wanted to learn, even if Zhao Xin refused to let him do it, he still wanted to learn.I always imagine that one day the relationship between their father and son can be improved, not always separate and obvious, but like a lover.Zhao Xiaobao is not the kind of person who dislikes doing housework, nor does he like it.But Zhao Xiaobao has always been looking forward to being able to prepare dinner by himself and wait for his lover to get off work.

It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to do so, and I have come to this point.Inevitably few, not to mention today is his birthday.And Zhao Xin hasn't shown up yet.

Although it may not be so if you show up.

******

When Wen Hengyuan came backstage, his expression was extremely ugly.Because at the end of the last contestant's performance, it was Zhao Xiaobao's score that was announced.This is why he is in a bad mood, because Zhao Xiaobao's score is obviously able to enter the semi-finals.The top forty in the rematch.

When Zhao Xiaobao's score was announced, he put on a serious face.He has never had a formal match with Wen Hengyuan, so he really couldn't get excited before.Of course, he didn't know that Lu Shi had lied to him until he came to the home court of the game.It's not about Wen Hengyuan's top four or something. This competition has never had such a rule since the first competition.Everyone participates in each competition fairly, and everything in the early stage has no impact.

Knowing the score, Zhao Xiaobao no longer stays in the background for long.The competition will not officially start until after the competition. Today is just an additional test selection for some people like Zhao Xiaobao who missed the preliminary competition.

"I'm leaving first, goodbye." Zhao Xiaobao bid farewell to Tan Xiaozhe politely before getting up.

Tan Xiaozhe pouted, not happy.There is a reason why he is next to Zhao Xiaobao every time.Think about it, the entire field is full of people aged 20 to [-].Only Zhao Xiaobao is the same age, so he can only choose to sit with Zhao Xiaobao.

Tan Xiaozhe didn't say anything, just stood up and left behind Zhao Xiaobao.

Zhao Xiaobao is going out to play with Kevin.

So what about Xiao Zhe?

Kevin followed Tan Xiaozhe who was behind them step by step, and asked helplessly, "Do you want to go to the bar with us?"

"Bar?" Tan Xiaozhe's eyes lit up, and he approached Zhao Xiaobao unscrupulously. The two brothers got better in an instant, "Haha, we are on the same road together."

"You're underage." Zhao Xiaobao deftly avoided Tan Xiaozhe's approach, and said to Tan Xiaozhe bluntly.

"Aren't you a minor too?"

"I happen to be an adult this year."

Tan Xiaozhe said, "That's just right, I will accompany you to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony. There are too many people, let's go. Don't waste time."

Zhao Xiaobao felt that he shouldn't bring Tan Xiaozhe with him, it was a trouble.But Tan Xiaozhe is just a piece of brown candy, relying on his first-class kung fu, it is difficult to get rid of.Soon, Tan Xiaozhe chatted with Kevin in a familiar way, as if we were all friends.
