"Xiao He, what's wrong with you today? You're more than ten minutes late. This isn't like you at all," Uncle Zhang said, frowning slightly.
"The bus was a little slow this morning," Wen He explained.
"According to the rules, this is the second time I've been late, so a fine of two hundred is fined. Is that alright?"
"no problem."
"Then you should work a little longer tonight, you've already been running out of time."
Uncle Zhang's words startled Wen He slightly, and she asked somewhat nervously, "Then... how late will you have to work overtime?"
"Around 9:30. Once this month is over, next month will be much easier."
"Uncle Zhang, it's really too late..."
If it's 9:30, then I won't be able to go play with Cheng Yudie today.
The main reason is that Wen He has already promised her, and if she doesn't go, she will definitely be very angry.
"Then nine o'clock, nine o'clock shouldn't be a problem, right?" Uncle Zhang conceded.
"Uncle Zhang, is 8:30 okay? If you need me tomorrow, I'll come earlier."
“You need to gain more experience so you can stand on your own two feet in society. I’m doing this for your own good. Now go and get busy.” Uncle Zhang put on his experienced air and started to manipulate Wen He.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Wen He was happy that she had gained an extra half hour.
If I get off work at 8:30, I can go to Cheng Yudie's place and play for an hour.
That was the only place where he could feel warmth.

Sunset, dusk, Yinghui Primary School.
A group of elementary school students, who had just finished school, surrounded a middle school student wearing a school uniform and holding a guitar.
Wow, Anzhan, your brother can really play the guitar! He's so cool!
"I want to learn guitar and practice singing and playing instruments in the future."
"An Zhan, what song is your brother going to sing today? Can you give me a sneak peek?"
"I really envy you for having such an amazing older brother."
The group of elementary school students all looked at the middle school student who was tuning his guitar with the eyes of someone looking at an idol.
The guy next to the middle school student puffed out his chest, looking proud, as if he had received the highest honor.
"Hehe, my brother has been practicing the song he's going to sing at home for ages. You guys are in for a treat today," An Zhan said with a touch of pride.
Upon hearing this, many young male fans cheered excitedly, gazing expectantly at An Zhan's brother.
Just then, the boy who had finished tuning the guitar plucked the strings, producing a melodious sound.
"Today I'll be performing a song for you, 'The Beauty of the World Is Intertwined with You,'" he said, trying to sound mature, his voice even lower.
Everyone is already very familiar with this song.
But this was the first time they had ever seen someone sing and play guitar without background music.
This was especially fascinating to the children, whose eyes sparkled with admiration.
It has to be said that An Zhan's brother must have practiced a lot to be able to perform in public like this.
There were no mistakes throughout the entire song, except for the deliberately melancholic and low voice, there were no major problems.
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*
When he finished singing the song, the group of elementary school students gave him thunderous applause.
"Wow! That's so cool! I want to be a singer when I grow up!"
"An Zhan, your brother sang so well, we can't sing with that feeling."
"Yes, yes, sing one more song! We are all your loyal fans!"
The emotional impact of these elementary school students was spot-on; everyone was incredibly excited, shouting, "One more song! One more song!"
An Zhan seemed to have gotten used to the cheers and praise from the crowd.
"Actually, I've only learned a little bit. If you like, I can sing another song. I'm still practicing the sheet music for this song, so I won't sing it for now. I can play it for you first," he said.
The many elementary school students who heard this were very excited; they all seemed to particularly enjoy him playing with the guitar that could produce beautiful music.
Brother An Zhan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then began to play.
Everyone seemed to quickly become immersed in the atmosphere, and very tactfully closed their eyes to listen carefully.
"This song is called 'Grandma's Bridge,' and it's sung by the same artist as 'The World's Beauty Is Intertwined with You.'"
"He is my idol, and I hope you can all remember his name, Wen He."
"He has many more songs, you can search them up and listen to them, every single one is amazing."
"My dream is to become a singer like him!"
After playing the piece, Brother Anzhan briefly introduced the song's creator.
Upon hearing these words, they all silently recited Wen He's name and excitedly memorized it.
Only one elementary school student stared wide-eyed, as if he had heard something incredible, and stood frozen in place.
"Anzhan, what did your brother just say? What's the name of the singer who sang these songs?"
Wen Ze's words were filled with disbelief, and he even doubted whether he had misheard something.
"His name is Wen He. Speaking of which, he shares the same surname as you. Could he be your brother?" An Zhan teased jokingly.
Wen Ze trembled violently as if struck by lightning, his pupils quivering as if in an earthquake.
But the thought of his useless older brother immediately made him give up the idea.
"No, I don't have a brother, I'm an only child," Wen Ze quickly explained.
"Haha, just kidding. If you had such an amazing older brother, that would be incredible," An Zhan said.
