"Trying to sneak off to sleep without drying your hair again? Have you forgotten how you had a headache last time?" A Lei scolded.

"Are you waiting for me to fall into your trap so you can give me a good scolding?" Qin Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks and looked in the mirror. Her round face and round eyes made her look adorable, except for the dark circles under her eyes. She really looked like a little panda.

"Panda spirit." A Lei guessed what she was thinking and was as happy as a fool.

As Qin Xiaoyu watched him carefully comb and dry her hair, she suddenly thought, "This playboy seems to have forgotten how to be a playboy."

"Hey." Qin Xiaoyu suddenly called out. Things had taken a turn for the better at the last minute, and she was in a great mood, so she was in the mood to play some games again.

"Hmm?" A Lei, who was focused on his work, was startled by her.

"You've been acting like an old man lately, not fun anymore. You need to be more passionate!"

"That's because you were too tired, so I let you off the hook. Don't act all innocent after getting a free ride," A Lei said irritably.

"I see, that puts my mind at ease. I was worried that my panda spirit magic was too strong and had drained you dry..."

"What am I supposed to do with you?" A Lei was both amused and exasperated by her words. This panda spirit wasn't even as combative as the fox spirit; she was too mischievous.

Qin Xiaoyu originally wanted to set an alarm, but A Lei said he was the alarm clock and stopped her.

When she opened her eyes, it was already six o'clock.

"Why didn't you call me!" Qin Xiaoyu roared angrily.

"I'll let you sleep as much as I can. I'll definitely wake you up at 6:30. The earth will keep turning even without you, believe me," A Lei said helplessly.

Qin Xiaoyu rushed downstairs. The girls were all already up and gathered in the living room. To her surprise, Mrs. Fang was also up.

You should know that you usually don't see her until 10 o'clock.

And is that Third Sister rubbing her sleepy eyes? And the one swaying behind her is Fang Baobao. Well, that's quite supportive. Qin Xiaoyu doesn't even know what time they got back last night.

A warm feeling washed over her.

"Sir, the fashions have arrived at the main venue. The model team will depart first. You come with me to lunch, and then follow." A Lei had already made the arrangements, so Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to go to the kitchen with him.

Breakfast was already laid out on the table, and under A Lei's threat, she had no choice but to eat her fill.

Only Mrs. Fang and the two sisters were waiting in the living room.

"I told you to sleep a little longer, but we still have to wait to go downstairs," Fang Baobao complained. Her third sister had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

They were exhausted. These pampered young ladies, who had never done any housework before, were really working hard mopping floors and wiping countertops.

A Lei drove steadily and quickly, and the group arrived at the Friendship Hall just after seven o'clock. He looked back and saw that all four ladies in the car were asleep.

The runway is ready, and this time it's set up exactly like an international runway, with the models already rushing up to practice their walks.

It was their first real performance, so it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous. However, the team Qin Xiaoyu led was known for its mischievousness. The nervousness subsided quickly.

Mrs. Fang and Qin Xiaoyu were backstage. From Mrs. Fang's jewelry, Qin Xiaoyu picked out some of the relatively cheaper pieces. To be honest, even if the materials were cheaper, they still had their own special historical value. There's no such thing as a cheap item!

"Wenwen, could you keep an eye on the jewelry?" Qin Xiaoyu had too many things to take care of, so she had to leave this to Wenwen.

Fortunately, her aunt came along, so Xiao Zichen was taken care of, and Tang Wenwen was able to devote all her energy to managing the jewelry business.

The fashion show officially started at 8:58, which, needless to say, was an auspicious time chosen by my godmother back in my hometown.

Because there were many people watching the performance, the audience was allowed to enter early.

By 8:30, almost everyone was seated. The people in the front row were all important figures, unlike those in the back who were excited. They were worldly-wise and sat upright with expressionless faces, looking more like they were just watching the show.

Indeed, what new things could a little-known clothing factory, especially one from the remote north, possibly have?

It's just that the person who sent the invitation has face and can't not come.

The hall only had ceiling fans, no air conditioning, so it was bound to get hot with so many people. Also, they wanted to create a good lighting effect, so the windows and curtains were all tightly closed.

There were still twenty minutes to wait, and many people were getting impatient.

Some rude people were already shouting, "Let's begin!"

The shout caused a burst of laughter, and the people sitting in the front row looked even more disgusted.

"We entered too early," Qin Xiaoyu said worriedly as she looked back from backstage.

"Everyone's here, how about we put on some music to stall them for a bit?" A Lei came up with an idea.

"Let's give them something exciting to wake them up." A Lei pulled out a cassette tape, Queen's "We Will Rock You".

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the front desk, and then the laughter grew louder and louder until it became a continuous sound.

Qin Xiaoyu, unaware of what had happened, hurried forward and saw her aunt rushing over.

"Where is Xiao Zichen? He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Qin Xiaoyu immediately understood; sure enough, the person in front of her was laughing at Xiao Zichen.

I don't know how this kid ended up on stage.

Because of the hot weather, his aunt dressed him in a red silk bib and a pair of loose-fitting pants today. He was already an extremely handsome child, with fair and tender skin, lotus root-like arms and legs, big, chubby eyes, and when he grinned, revealing his white baby teeth, everyone's heart melted.

He was also mischievous and took a flower basket from backstage. It was filled with all sorts of colorful candies, which the models would carry as props to be scattered when they reached their designated spots.

His aunt usually forbids him from eating candy, but he caught her this time and filled a whole basket with it.

His attention was entirely focused on the candy. He walked to the middle, sat down, and carefully peeled off a piece of candy wrapper.

The people on stage quieted down, and flashes of light occasionally went off as everyone waited for a cute little boy to unwrap the candy. However, no one knew who had peeled it, and Xiao Zichen struggled for a long time without success. He got angry, huffed, and threw the candy back into the basket.

The audience burst into laughter.

Xiao Zichen then noticed the situation below the stage. He stood up and tilted his head to look down at the audience. Another round of good-natured laughter followed.

The people backstage were extremely worried. The platform was half a meter high; what if he fell off?

Even though the performance hadn't started yet, there was no way to go on stage and bring Xiao Zichen back.

Tang Wenwen had no choice but to go around to the front, hoping to attract his attention from below the stage.

The stage lights were too bright, and the noise from the crowd was deafening, so no matter how hard Tang Wenwen tried, she couldn't attract Xiao Zichen's attention.

Suddenly, music started playing—Queen's famous song "We Will Rock You."

Jiang Fusheng is a rock music fan, and Xiao Zichen listened to rock music even before he was born. He has a natural musical talent.

A while ago, Jiang Fusheng asked A Lei to help him pick out a drum set and send it over. He teaches his son to play the drums whenever he has free time, so he's a rock kid.

He suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, stomped his feet, and started dancing to the music.
