That afternoon, Yao Yao, dressed in a pure white dress, arrived at the audition venue to wait.
There was nothing she could do; she was poor and couldn't afford nice clothes, so she had to wear old ones.
As soon as Yao Yao arrived, many people's eyes were drawn to her. For no other reason than she was incredibly beautiful.
Yao Yao held the number tag given to her by the staff: number 43.
As Yao Yao sat down, the girl next to her kept glancing at her, looking a little shy and awkward.
Finally, the girl mustered up her courage and said, "Hello, my name is Li Xiao. You are very beautiful."
Li Xiao nervously gripped the hem of her clothes. It was said that good-looking people were always arrogant, and she wondered if the woman would look down on her.
Yao Yao gave the little girl named Li Xiao an approving look, saying that anyone who said she was pretty was a good person, and smiled, "I'm Liu Xun, you're very cute too."
Li Xiao blushed and said, "I'm not as good-looking as you."
Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "Why did you come to participate in the competition?"
Yao Yao smiled calmly, dazzling Li Xiao's eyes. "Because of money~ I can't help it, I'm poor, so I need to ease the burden."
Li Xiao said with deep feeling, "Me too. Not long ago, my younger sister was diagnosed with cancer, but it's in its early stages and there are still ways to treat it. But there are many younger siblings in my family, and we really can't afford to pay for her treatment. I want to earn money for her. She's still so young."
Yao Yao glanced at Li Xiao with pity. The two shared similar interests, and Yao Yao especially liked this girl who complimented her on her looks and seemed very pleasant. They chatted very congenially and eventually added each other as friends.
Soon it was Li Xiao's turn, because they wouldn't let everyone perform. After all, there were so many people, it would take a long time for everyone to perform.
Not long after, Li Xiao came out, his face beaming with joy. Clearly, Li Xiao had made it to the finals.
Yao Yao smiled and congratulated her, while Li Xiao said shyly, "It's nothing, Liu Xun, you're so pretty, you definitely deserve to be nominated."
Yao Yao laughed and teased, "You haven't even seen my talent yet, how can you be so sure? What if all I know is a triangular cat?"
Li Xiao said anxiously, "No, no, you're so good-looking, you'll definitely be shortlisted."
Yao Yao chuckled. What an adorable little girl! I feel so old.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Li Xiao left quickly, looking quite anxious. Yao Yao guessed it was probably her younger sister.
Soon, an hour passed, and it was Yao Yao's turn.
Yao Yao pushed open the door, and the staff inside, who had been experiencing aesthetic fatigue, immediately had their eyes light up.
Yao Yao arrived at the center of the stage. Seeing that Yao Yao hadn't made a move, the judges impatiently asked, "Aren't you supposed to be performing? Why haven't you started yet?"
Yao Yao innocently asked, "How can I perform without props?"
The judge twitched his lips. Normally, he would have kicked her out immediately, but considering her face, he let the staff get the violin as Yao Yao had asked.
Soon the staff brought over the guzheng that Yaoyao had requested.
Yao Yao sat down, plucked the strings, and frowned slightly. The quality of this instrument was not good.
But there was nothing she could do; she didn't have the money to buy it.
Yao Yao focused her mind, closed her eyes, and began to pluck the strings. The ethereal sound, like the tinkling of a spring, instantly changed the expressions of the judges who had been impatient.
I also closed my eyes and immersed myself in the music.
The cameraman, suppressing his excitement, remained dedicated to his duty and focused the camera on Yaoyao.
Yao Yao looks flawless from every angle, as if she has a built-in filter.
But no one paid attention at that moment, because everyone was immersed in the ethereal music.
