Chapter 5 Elegant, so elegant!
It was a small stage set up at the entrance of the amusement park. There were several speakers on the prototype stage, and the sudden noise was made by tourists attracted by the live host.
"Anianxayyo, welcome everyone to this week's dance competition!" He interacted with the audience in front of him freely. Because this was a dance competition for children, he wore a hat with the patterns of the cabbage Taoist priest and radish Taoist priest that have been popular in Korea in recent years.
The cute hat and the host's funny and cute movements quickly drew everyone's attention to the stage.
After all, it is a children's amusement park with many children and parents. Parents who were buying tickets but had not yet entered the amusement park were curious and slowly gathered their children towards the stage.
Ye-eun also excitedly pulled Quan Zhilong and Quan Damei over there. Her short legs were no longer as steady as before, but instead they were tossing and turning as if smoke was coming out of the soles of her feet. As she ran, she shouted to the two adults, "Mom, Auntie, doll! Doll!"
There were two big dolls behind the stage. The fluffy dolls were cute and eye-catching, and they caught Ye-eun’s attention at first glance.
"Oh my god, there are so many children today." The host bent down and raised his hand to his forehead in a funny way, looking at the children rushing over, "Some of them can't even walk steadily, and they want to challenge dancing?"
His gaze turned to Ye-eun who was running over with her brother and sister. The three-headed figure who was stumbling over looked like she was so old that she couldn't even control her limbs.
However, when Yi-eun met his gaze, she tilted her head blankly, tried hard to think about what this agassi said, then looked up at Kwon Ji-yong beside her.
"Zhilong, is he talking about you?" The childish voice was full of sincerity.
Kwon Ji-yong lowered his head in panic. He squeezed through so many children and rushed to the first row, but he was still a little shy, "Ah? Are you talking about me?" Why does this Agassi's eyes are always on Ye-eun! ?
However, my parents did tell me that I walked unsteadily.
Quan Duomei helped her sister and laughed, "Yes, Zhilong has never walked properly since he was a child. You must be the one talking about him, right?"
The host was amused by the conversation between the three children, and then the person in charge of the process said with a smile, "Many children have been here before. What are our rules?"
He raised his hand to his ear, and children's voices came from everywhere.
"Dancing! There's a little medal for first place!"
"The second and third ones have dolls!"
"Contest!"
“I’m going to get a medal this week!”
Han Lanji and Li Zhen only then realized that this was a children's dance competition held by the amusement park to attract children. It was held once a week and used small gifts to attract a large number of tourists.
Now, not only was Ye-eun staring at the doll on the stage with eager eyes, but even Kwon Ji-yong was also looking at the small medal on the right side of the stage with curiosity.
"That's right. The child who wins the dance will receive a reward. So which child will be the first to come up today?"
As soon as the host finished speaking, countless children hurriedly raised their hands. In the chaos, Kwon Ji-yong was struggling to see how many people there were, but then a small hand stretched out in front of him. He looked down in shock, and it was indeed Ye-eun who jumped up excitedly.
"Me, me, me!" Ye-en didn't understand what "win" meant at all. She just stared at the fox doll on the stage.
Although I am short, standing in the first row is an advantage.
The jumping little kid was immediately noticed by the host, "Oh my, this kid can really dance. How old are you?"
With only the fox doll in her eyes, Ye-eun held the hand of the staff member next to her and wanted to go on stage, but her hand was held by Kwon Ji-yong instead.
She turned around in confusion, not knowing why Zhilong pulled her to get the doll.
"Ye-eun, this is dancing, dancing." Quan Zhilong turned his head to look at his aunt and mother who were watching the show, and whispered to Ye-eun with his hands covering his mouth, "Aren't there dolls when you go up there? Can Ye-eun dance?"
How come he doesn’t know about Ye-eun? Didn’t Ye-eun only study ballet? And they are still in the stage of learning the movements!
However, Yi-eun pulled her hand back and nodded confidently: "Yes!" He could only watch the little Yi-eun being led onto the stage by a beautiful girl. And you don’t get a prize just by jumping! I always feel like Ye-eun misunderstood something...
The host on the stage knelt on one knee next to Ye-eun, and even so was much taller than her.
"Kids, can you please introduce yourselves? What's your name and how old are you?" Having been the host of children's competitions for a long time, he has become accustomed to speaking with a hoarse voice, using simple words.
Yien looked curiously at the thing that looked like a lollipop in the uncle's hand. Could speaking into this thing make one's voice louder?
She hesitated for a second, and after seeing my mom’s smiling face, she approached, “I’m Ye-eun, four years old!”
The host clapped his hands exaggeratedly, "What about Ye-eun's mom?"
Ye-eun tilted her head, thought for a moment, and picked a number from what she knew, "Mom is zero years old!"
The host's pupils instantly dilated, and then he couldn't control his laughter and shook, even the leg that supported his whole body was about to lose strength from laughing, "Ani, Agassi is asking where Ye-eun's mom is."
He joked: "After every competition, there are parents who pretend not to know their children. This time, we must first ensure that no child is 'abandoned'."
Although Li Zhen was a little confused, she still raised her hand to indicate that she was the parent of the little baby on the stage.
A parent who had brought his children to participate several times explained to her in a low voice with a smile on his face while wearing a mask, "It doesn't matter if you dance well or poorly, it's just that some children cry after losing, and we all live nearby..."
Well, Li Zhen and Han Lanji understood. It didn’t matter if the child was embarrassed, but they had to save their own face.
On the stage, Ye-eun started dancing confidently. She recalled the ballet classes she had taken in the past two months. She was not at all shy facing the gazes of the audience. She swung her chubby arms, stood on tiptoe, raised her little head, and chanted "one, two, three, four" to herself as she performed the basic movements for children on the stage.
This kid’s “dance” is…elegant! So elegant!
There was silence for a second, and then the parents all laughed. In South Korea, when it comes to dance competitions, everyone assumes it's hip-hop or jazz. I didn't expect to see a four-year-old kid dancing ballet in the competition.
The host was also confused, but it did say that there is no restriction on the type of dance! But this dance, can’t be performed?
The hosts and judges who had never been involved in ballet before gradually became serious. They were also serious about the children's dance competition!
After all, entertainment companies would occasionally come to them and ask if they had any good talents. So no matter how cute this child is, they can't say with a clear conscience that she dances well. It seems that this child is destined to be disappointed today.
In less than a minute, Ye-eun stopped moving, finally freezing on the stage of gracefully lifting her skirt and bowing.
Everyone at the scene wanted to laugh but were afraid of hurting the children's self-esteem, so they just applauded and praised aspects that had nothing to do with dancing.
"Oh my god, what a cute little baby."
"This child has been confident since he was young, that's great!"
"Don't mention it, these moves look pretty good."
"Oh Mo, I suddenly want to send my daughter to learn ballet too."
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Ye-eun moved her ears, it seemed that she had "won"! She excitedly rushed to the doll, "Fox, sister is here!"
When Quan Zhilong saw her actions, he waved his hands anxiously and shouted, "Ye Eun, you can't take it now!" This child, who is usually a little shy, shouted so loudly for the first time in public because of her grandeur.
However, Ye-eun on the stage had blocked out all sounds. She just felt that the applause everyone gave her just now showed that she danced very well! Then she wins!
She was getting closer and closer to the fox doll, but just when her little hand was about to touch the plush doll, Ye-eun was picked up.
The little person was instantly frozen as if fate had been strangled by the throat, his limbs hanging limply, but his little head was raised blankly to look diagonally upwards.
Li Zhen, who had put on a mask at some point, explained to her softly, "We have to wait until everyone has finished dancing to find out which child the doll belongs to. Ye Eun can't touch it now, it's impolite."
Yi Eun stood beside Kwon Ji-yong with a wronged look on her face, pulling at his clothes with tears in her eyes. She was so aggrieved that she had no interest in watching the performances of other children on the stage.
"Didn't I win?" She pouted, looking aggrieved, with a puzzled look on her face, "Everyone was applauding."
Kwon Ji-yong, who was watching the other children dancing seriously, sighed and thought, what should I do? Ye-eun will definitely not be second or third. Some of the kids above who looked older than me were dancing really well!
After nearly half an hour, fewer and fewer children came on stage. The host held up the microphone and looked at the sky. "Are there any children who want to dance? If not, we will start ranking them."
Quan Zhilong looked at the host in confusion, then turned to look at his mother, a little at a loss.
He actually wanted to go up, but there were so many people and he was a little shy. My heart suddenly started pounding. Even though I had been on so many shows, I was still shy when there were a lot of people around.
"Jilong, Zhilong hasn't gone up yet! Neither has Domi-unnie!" Yien didn't think much in her little head, she just felt that everyone should get the prize.
Kwon Damei's pupils dilated and she waved her hands in panic, "Ouni doesn't dance, Zhilong dances!" She was not going to go up and let her brother embarrass herself.
Kwon Ji-yong, who was already struggling, suddenly made up his mind because of Ye-eun's roar. If Ye-eun, a four-year-old child, dared to jump up, then he, as her brother, could do it too! He raised his hand more and more firmly, "I haven't jumped yet!"
Although his heart was beating wildly, when he saw his mother, Aunt Nuna, and Ye-eun in the audience on the stage, Kwon Ji-yong was suddenly not afraid anymore. Isn't it just dancing? He took a deep breath and said to himself silently: "Zhilong, do it bravely, don't be afraid!"
