But Lin Qiao is not here today, so who will sing this song?
"Yes, of course. How else can I sing?"
Shao Jingque laughed, his eyes narrowed into crescents, which made Master Sun's heart skip a beat.
After finally coming back to his senses, he kindly reminded:
"Xiao Shao, today's performance can't go wrong. Otherwise, you should also report illness to the troupe leader. It's better than going on stage and...causing a performance accident."

Qiao Yulan's face turned red with anger at her words, but when she thought that she would soon see Shao Jingque embarrassing herself in front of the military district chief, she stopped herself from turning around and leaving, and sat back with a groan.
