Xiao Xin wrapped her arms around Fu Yan's waist, encircling him: "Okay, I promise you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yan released him, washed a hot towel, and wiped Xiao Xin's face clean.
After washing his face, Fu Yan took out the strawberry cookies from his bag, opened them, and handed them to Xiao Xin, saying, "Brother, have some cookies first. I'll go clean the kitchen."
Xiao Xin accepted it and said thank you.
Fu Yan was a little confused when he heard Xiao Xin say thank you for the first time. He rubbed Xiao Xin's head and then turned to walk out the door.
Looking at his composed back, Xiao Xin suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Was Fu Yan always this gentle and considerate towards Jiang Yuqing before?
He looked away, munching on the cookie in his hand, deciding it was best not to think about it too deeply...
Even if he truly cared, Fu Yan would still leave in the end.
Since Fu Yan is going to leave anyway, it shouldn't matter if he does something a little more outrageous, right?
Xiao Xin was startled by the thoughts in his head, but quickly put it aside. What did it matter whether it was true or false?
His life motto was simply to enjoy life to the fullest.
He's played these kinds of dating games with other people before, so it's okay for him to play them a little longer, right?
After Xiao Xin understood, a smile appeared on her lips, and the cookies in her hand even tasted better...
＊
On Saturday, during rehearsal, Fu Yan was nowhere to be seen again early in the morning, and a note was still left on the bedside table.
The handwriting is the same as yesterday.
Xiao Xin accepted the note, washed up, tidied herself up, and then went out.
Since he didn't need to take Fu Yan with him, he didn't drive.
Upon arriving at the auditorium, Xiao Xin entered through the back door with practiced ease.
Feng Xiaoxiao was organizing the formation on the stage when she saw Xiao Xin. She waved the microphone at him and said, "Senior! This!"
Xiao Xin smiled and nodded at her, then turned sideways to avoid the crowd and walked towards Feng Xiaoxiao.
The younger students on the stage looked over in the direction of Feng Xiaoxiao's shout.
A tall man wearing a high-necked dark gray jacket walked onto the stage.
As the group approached, they finally saw Xiao Xin's face and were immediately taken aback.
Someone recognized Xiao Xin, but wasn't sure, and awkwardly stepped forward to greet him: "You, you must be Senior Xiao Xin, right?"
The boy with a baby face wore large-framed glasses, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xiao Xin with excitement.
Xiao Xin smiled distantly yet politely and nodded at him: "Yes."
The baby-faced girl immediately grabbed his arm and screamed excitedly, "Ahhh! My idol, my idol, can I get your autograph?"
Seeing how proactive the baby-faced boy was, Xiao Xin's juniors and classmates also gathered around, holding markers and asking Xiao Xin to sign their clothes.
Xiao Xin hesitated for a moment, then gave Feng Xiaoxiao a pleading look.
Feng Xiaoxiao immediately pushed through the crowd and approached Xiao Xin, raising her hand to persuade her friends: "Hey everyone, listen to me, calm down first. Senior Xiao Xin has gone to great lengths to participate in this event, and the rehearsals have been very tiring. This is the college's 20th anniversary celebration, and I hope everyone will take it seriously. As for the autographs, I'll ask him to sign them privately later, OK?"
"OK, boss!"
"OKOK!"
The younger students, in unison, resumed their serious expressions and dispersed to await the host's instructions.
Feng Xiaoxiao is one of the hosts.
She turned to Xiao Xin: "I'm so sorry, senior, I didn't know they were so excited. I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position..."
Xiao Xin waved his hand, "It's nothing."
He put his hands in his pockets, glanced around, and said, "There are quite a lot of people..."
Feng Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's right, this celebration is also a school publicity event, so the school is making a big deal out of it and even invited people from the TV station!"
Xiao Xin nodded thoughtfully without offering much comment. Seeing that Feng Xiaoxiao was quite busy, he asked her, "Should I wait backstage?"
Feng Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "No need, no need. As a special guest, I've arranged a center position for you in the guest seats. You can go on stage when it's your turn to perform!"
The VIP seats are in the first row, offering an excellent view of the stage.
With no one blocking the view, it's very convenient to take photos or record videos.
Xiao Xin nodded.
Feng Xiaoxiao led Xiao Xin off the stage and guided him to his seat in the guest section.
After Xiao Xin took her seat, Feng Xiaoxiao went on stage to begin reading her hosting script.
As the background music started, the venue instantly fell silent, the noisy din disappearing.
Feng Xiaoxiao's gentle and melodious voice flowed from the speakers, calming the restlessness in everyone's hearts.
Looking at the group of faces radiating youthful energy, Xiao Xin suddenly felt as if her own youth was drifting further and further away.
And that period of youth, with the passage of time, is also fading further and further away...
Xiao Xin leaned back in her chair, tilted her head back, and put her arm over her eyes, trying to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.
He remembered He Yunzhou's name constantly, but some details seemed to have faded from his memory over time...
He Yunzhou's face gradually blurred, and what reappeared in my mind was not He Yunzhou's face, but Fu Yan's smiling face, like a daisy blooming in the morning sun, fresh and bright, making people feel happy.
Then she smiled sweetly and called out to him, "Brother..."
Xiao Xin couldn't hold back his tears; they blurred his vision. He was truly possessed, as if he could hear Fu Yan calling his name.
Fu Yan stood beside him, bending over. Seeing that Xiao Xin didn't respond, he called softly again, "Brother, are you asleep?"
Xiao Xin wiped away her tears, put her hand down, and looked at him sideways: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Xin's eyelashes were smudged with tears, showing signs of sadness.
Fu Yan sat down next to him, put his arm around his shoulder and patted him: "Brother, you're thinking about him again..."
He didn't use a question, but an affirmative statement.
Xiao Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked away, without responding to him.
"I'm here to watch my brother's rehearsal. It'll be his turn soon," Fu Yan reminded him.
He had just finished practicing his song in the music room and rushed over right on time for Feng Xiaoxiao's novel.
He knew Xiao Xin would cry when she thought of He Yunzhou.
Is it worth being so heartbroken over a dead person?
Fu Yan's thinking might be a bit cruel, after all, He Yunzhou is still his own brother.
However, he had no feelings for He Yunzhou, so he couldn't understand the extent of Xiao Xin's sadness.
All he could do was offer comfort and companionship when Xiao Xin needed it.
"Next, please welcome our special guest, the legendary former music academy student, Xiao Xin, to sing a song for us - 'Always Quiet'."
Feng Xiaoxiao's voice echoed throughout the hall, her gaze fixed on Xiao Xin below the stage.
Xiao Xin snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and walked onto the stage.
He walked slowly and gracefully onto the stage. Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, his outstanding temperament and upright posture gave people the feeling that Xiao Xin was born for the stage.
As the music began, Xiao Xin adjusted the microphone and tried to find the right rhythm.
