"Come on, let's keep picking!"
Thankfully, there's a small online store where you can buy anything, even the swords you need for sword dancing.
The two got dressed and began practicing.
Thanks to the secret manual they had practiced before, the two sisters were as light as swallows. Many movements that would normally require years of practice were now within their reach after a few tries, thanks to the nourishment and conditioning of the manual on their bodies.
"We need to choreograph the moves again; our entrance must be eye-catching..."
"Was the interaction too stiff? Since we're playing a couple of swordsmen, I think the interaction could be more tender and affectionate, with the sword as the soul and love as the guide."
"Sis, you can lean against me here, get closer..."
"There needs to be a big surprise here, otherwise it's too bland..."
After the entire program is completely edited, training will begin.
Every day, I practice relentlessly in the space, striving to integrate the movements and rhythms into my muscle memory and form conditioned reflexes, so that there will definitely be no problem with the performance that day.
Xie Ziai's long-cherished wish to witness the splendor in advance is now out of the question, but Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang can take advantage of their proximity to the source.
They not only watched it themselves, but also brought along the two little ones, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an.
“Look, Mom and Aunt are practicing sword dancing. An’an, do you think Mom dances better, or Aunt is more skilled?” Qiao Gaoyang asked.
Qiao Shouyan immediately glared at him and said, "Can you please stop teaching children inappropriate things? Otherwise, answer this question in front of Xinruo and Yueya?"
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
He immediately shut up, because he couldn't beat his older brother!
"Look, look! Let's ignore Uncle!" Qiao Gaoyang said, holding Lu Si'an as they watched them perform the sword dance.
During practice, Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo also wore full costumes to get used to the feeling of wearing ancient costumes and wigs, so that they could look more natural on stage.
"Wow! Crescent Moon, that flying move you did just now was pretty cool!"
"Xinruo dances well too, and Big Brother looks quite handsome!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Wow, they have a secret weapon! Won't that dazzle the audience?"
"Oh no, if the performing arts troupe sees your performance, they'll probably come after your department head to demand you be released. I've heard that the department head is quite the snatcher..."
"What's the point of practicing anymore? You're ready to go on stage right now, aren't you, Xiao Yuan? An An?"
Not only did the two older brothers praise him loudly, providing plenty of emotional value, but the two little ones also cheered him on, clapping their little hands the whole time.
"Ha ha……"
"mom!"
The two little ones, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, can already say some simple words. Seeing their two uncles praising their mother and aunt, how could they fall behind?
"Auntie!"
"Slap—slap—"
The little ones clapped enthusiastically, their little hands turning red from clapping, their faces beaming with joy.
"Xiao Yuan, tell me, did Mom perform well?" This time, Qiao Gaoyang learned his lesson and dared not ask any more provocative questions.
"Okay!" Lu Siyuan stared at his mother, his eyes never leaving her. "Okay, hahaha..."
"An'an, what do you think of Auntie's performance?" Qiao Shouyan asked again.
"Okay!" Lu Si'an was thrilled. She saw her brother seem to have given a thumbs up, and she thought, "No, I have to give my aunt a thumbs up too!" "Hehe!"
The two little ones' "performance" was even more entertaining than that of the adults.
Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo practiced a few times and felt that today's training was about enough, so they stopped. Although the two little ones were in their uncles' arms, they kept reaching out to them, wanting to be hugged.
Lu Siyuan rushed to his mother and was taken by Su Yueya.
"Xiao Yuan—" Before Su Yueya could finish speaking, the little guy pounced over and immediately kissed Su Yueya's cheek, making her brain shut down.
"Wow, our Xiao Yuan is quite the charmer!" Qiao Gaoyang immediately praised.
"Xiao Yuan, Mommy loves you so much!" Su Yueya was bubbling with happiness.
Qiao Xinruo felt jealous and immediately leaned in, saying defiantly, "An'an, quickly give your aunt a kiss, quick—"
Lu Si'an cooperated perfectly, leaning in to give Qiao Xinruo a quick kiss, which finally satisfied her.
"You two little devils, you really don't favor anyone!" Qiao Shouyan said.
The four siblings, along with the two little ones, were in a warm and happy atmosphere.
"Big brother, second brother, how was our performance?" Qiao Xinruo asked, with a hint of boasting.
At first, she thought it was troublesome and was not very willing to perform on stage with her sister, feeling it was a waste of time.
But as the stage design was perfected and she saw the effect during practice, she felt it was excellent and quickly changed her mind, thinking that the performance was well worth it!
"Great, that's fantastic! So you didn't hear a single word of our praise?" Qiao Gaoyang asked.
"I was focused on the music and trying to keep up with the rhythm, so I didn't pay attention to what you were saying. But I did see you clapping," Su Yueya said happily.
It's very rewarding to see a performance that you've worked so hard to rehearse get liked.
“It was excellent, absolutely fantastic. The second brother even said that the head of the cultural troupe saw your performance and is going to try and poach you from Minister Hu,” Qiao Shouyan said with a smile.
"That's so exaggerated?" Qiao Xinruo raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, look who her sister is!" Qiao Gaoyang said smugly.
Qiao Shouyan couldn't stand his second brother's behavior of praising himself regardless of the occasion, and said with disdain, "Are you praising Yueya and Xinruo, or are you praising yourself?"
Qiao Gaoyang's eyes darted around, and he said loudly, "I have to praise our parents. It's all thanks to their good fertility that they gave birth to the four of us who are so outstanding. There's nothing I can do about it; I was just lucky enough to be born into such a family!"
"Hahaha……"
"Sycophant!"
The four siblings burst into loud laughter.
On the day of the performance, the auditorium was decorated in a festive manner, filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Many leaders attended the event and sat in the front row.
Backstage, figures could be seen everywhere actively preparing, and many people were gathered together, chatting nervously.
"Did you guys see that guy sitting right in the middle of the first row? I saw him once when I was a new recruit, I didn't expect him to be here tonight!"
"What should I do? I'm so nervous. What if I make a mistake?"
"This is a great opportunity to show off in front of the big leaders. Stay calm, just do what we've practiced. Don't be nervous, just perform normally!"
"Don't be afraid, we're singing in a big chorus. There are so many people, as long as you don't yell out loud, no one will notice you!"
"Even though that's what I say, I'm still so nervous..."
The host has already come on stage and started the introductions, followed by speeches from the leaders.
