Chapter 299 (Updated 2991)
299:
True to his word, Old Master Feng arrived at the Mu family's residence the very next day, as if he knew the way inside.
Accompanying him were Aristotle and the various nutritional supplements that Xiao Zhuo was carrying.
"What is this...?" Mu Shaowu asked, puzzled.
"These are to supplement Xiaoxi's nutrition," Grandpa Feng explained one by one.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu nodded in agreement, then immediately locked all the nutritional supplements in the cabinet.
Are you kidding me? Ye Qingxi is also at a critical moment right now!
If he suddenly gets so much nutrition, what if he doesn't absorb it all and feels unwell?
As Ye Qingxi's only father, Mu Shaowu had started recording Ye Qingxi's diet half a month ago, strictly checking it and resolutely eliminating any factors that might affect his son's condition.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated.
His dad is being way too serious.
He's really not that delicate!
However, it was the opening ceremony of the World Championships, so it was normal for his father to be nervous about his physical condition. Ye Qingxi didn't say anything and went with Mu Shaowu.
"I've already spoken with your Uncle Feng. He'll be coming over in a couple of days and will be filming the whole thing to capture this important moment for you!" Old Master Feng looked at Ye Qingxi with affection.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Isn't this a bad idea?
If he remembers correctly, shouldn't his Uncle Feng be busy with the post-production of the movie right now?
"Uncle Feng...aren't you busy?"
"He considers that busy?" Old Master Feng said disdainfully. "Compared to you, he's practically neglecting his duties."
Ye Qingxi: ...
After saying that, Grandpa Feng realized that the movie his good-for-nothing grandson was currently busy with was starring his super-talented great-great-grandson and his great-great-grandson's father.
So he immediately added, "Only you and your father don't look down on him, and are even willing to act in his plays. You're really giving him face."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Mu Shaowu: ...I can see that now that you have a great-grandson, you've forgotten about your grandson. You really dislike your grandson!
Soon, Ye Qingxi's final exams ended, summer vacation officially began, and the opening of the World Championship was getting closer and closer.
As the week drew to a close, Elder Kang began requiring Ye Qingxi and the others to come over every night for a rehearsal, striving to etch the songs they were going to sing into their DNA.
Ye Qingxi naturally had no objection to this and cooperated by appearing at Kang Lao's house promptly at seven o'clock every night.
Fu Zhan and Meng Man listened to his steady voice, which sounded like it had been recorded, and found their junior brother to be amazing.
She's only six years old, and her skills are already this strong. When she grows up, will she leave any room for other singers her age?!
Fortunately, it was their junior brother.
He's not someone else's junior brother.
After three more days of training, it was time for the final rehearsal.
This rehearsal was conducted with makeup on.
Ye Qingxi changed into a white dress provided by the chief fashion designer and put on light makeup.
Fu Zhan, standing beside him, was wearing a black suit, while Meng Man wore a long dress with a slightly shimmering blue hue.
The three of them standing together were an exceptionally pleasing sight.
Mu Shaowu took the camera and took several pictures of the three of them.
Feng Que was also taking a photo with him.
Of course, taking photos is his side job; his main job is recording videos.
It's July now, and the editing of "Summer" is in its final stages.
Feng Que is keen to present this year's Golden Phoenix, so he wants to complete the post-production of "Summer" before October.
However, he was busy with something when his grandfather conscripted him.
Grandpa Feng originally wanted to use his camera to record this precious moment of his great-grandson, but when he was flipping through his camera, he remembered that there was someone in his family who was in charge of taking pictures.
If we don't use it now, when will we?
And so, Feng Que was captured.
Of course, Feng Que was willing to do so.
As the first person to receive Mu Shaowu's love number, he felt that he still had a great chance of becoming Ye Qingxi's stepfather. So, at such an important moment, he, as the (proposed) stepfather, had to be by Ye Qingxi's side and experience this unforgettable moment with her.
"Xiao Xi, look here." Feng Que pointed his camera at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi turned her head and saw him patting her, so she smiled.
"This is the last rehearsal, Xiaoxi, are you nervous?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "It's alright."
Feng Que feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Wow! What a resilient little one!"
"Does the baby have anything to say?"
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and said to the camera, "I hope I can perform well then."
“Definitely!” Feng Que said.
After he finished speaking, he turned the camera to Mu Shaowu, "Does the baby's father have anything to say?"
Mu Shaowu replied without hesitation, "My son is amazing!"
“That’s really great! Move over a bit, then you and Xiaoxi can both get a shot.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaowu walked to Ye Qingxi's side, put his arm around his shoulder, leaned down towards him, and smiled at the camera.
Ye Qingxi laughed again.
Feng Que captured their smiles in the video before switching to photo mode.
Once Ye Qingxi's rehearsal officially begins, Feng Que and Mu Shaowu will no longer be able to film.
They could only record Ye Qingxi's singing process with their own eyes and listen to his heavenly voice.
"You sang so beautifully!" Feng Que exclaimed. "Do you think I should add a song you and Xiao Xi sang to the movie?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu said sincerely, "Xiao Xi is fine, but I'll pass."
The province polluted his son's beautiful singing voice.
Feng Que smiled and said, "You sing pretty well too."
Mu Shaowu: "Then you truly love me."
“Of course,” Feng Que said without hesitation. “24K pure gold.”
Mu Shaowu: ...Why is he trying to confess his feelings at the last minute?
Mu Shaowu hurriedly turned his head to look at his son standing on the elevator platform, and said nothing more.
It was still a wonderful and perfect rehearsal.
Before parting, Director Xu looked at Ye Qingxi and earnestly told him, "Good luck at the opening ceremony."
"Okay." Ye Qingxi was completely unaware of his worries and past thoughts, and replied to him in a very pleasant tone.
Looking at his innocent face and listening to his soft voice, Director Xu suddenly felt a pang of guilt and remorse.
Children's world is always clean, unlike adults', which is full of filth.
Ye Qingxi's relatives and friends love him very much and protect him very well, so he seems unaware of what he once wanted him to do and can still show him a bright smile.
Director Xu felt ashamed of himself under such a smile.
He thought that if Ye Qingxi really performed well on the opening day, then he was wrong and had underestimated the child.
It was because he didn't give him enough respect.
He should apologize to Ye Qingxi and his relatives and friends for his past distrust and unreasonable demands.
Ye Qingxi had no idea about the hidden thoughts and buried sordidness in his heart. She politely said to him, "Then I'll be going. Goodbye, Uncle."
"Goodbye," Director Xu said. "Remember to watch your diet for the next two days, take care of your health, and absolutely do not have any problems on the opening ceremony day."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded and turned to walk towards Mu Shaowu.
Seeing that Director Xu seemed to be talking to Ye Qingxi, Mu Shaowu worried that he might have said something he shouldn't have. As soon as Ye Qingxi approached, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? I think your Uncle Xu was talking to you. Did something go wrong during the rehearsal?"
"No, it's just that Uncle Xu told me to watch my diet and take care of my health," Ye Qingxi replied.
Seeing the worry on Mu Shaowu's face, he thought he was genuinely worried about the rehearsal and comforted him, "The rehearsal is fine. Grandpa Kang said we performed very well."
"That's good." Mu Shaowu was relieved.
He ruffled Ye Qingxi's hair, and after he changed his clothes, he took him home.
On July 15th, the day before the opening ceremony, the Mu family members were noticeably restless.
Mu Shaowu packed his backpack, thinking, "I have to bring this, and I have to bring this too. What if Xiaoxi wants some hot water? I still need to bring a thermos."
Mu Shaoting was selecting clothes in his walk-in closet. "This one is too plain, and this one is too formal. Will this color clash with what Xiaoxi is wearing tomorrow?"
Unlike them, Mu Shaoyan was busy declining his friend's invitation. "I'm not going. I already said I have something to do tomorrow. What is it? Don't you know about the World Championship opening ceremony tomorrow?! What? You're not planning to watch it?! Are you kidding me? You're not planning to watch the World Championship opening ceremony? Then what are you planning to watch?! Let me tell you, if you don't watch the World Championship opening ceremony tomorrow, don't call yourself my friend!"
If he weren't at the opening ceremony tomorrow and couldn't use his phone, Mu Shaoyan would have loved to video call each of his friends to do a surprise check and see who hadn't watched the World Championship opening ceremony.
Not watching such an important opening ceremony? That's just crazy!
Most importantly, his little nephew is at the opening ceremony! How could he not watch?!
Look! Show him everything! He has to see it!
Even Aunt Zhang came up three times that night to ask Ye Qingxi if she wanted some rock sugar pear soup.
"Clears the lungs and soothes the throat; it's good for your voice."
Ye Qingxi: ...Drinking this now won't do any good, will it?
Ye Qingxi felt he didn't need it.
But Mu Shaowu felt he needed it, so he asked Aunt Zhang to stew another pot when she went out the next day, and he would put it in a thermos to take with him.
“Okay, no problem,” Aunt Zhang said. “I promise I’ll stew it perfectly so that Xiao Xi’s voice will be clear and bright, and she’ll amaze everyone as soon as she opens her mouth.”
"Mm." Mu Shaowu nodded.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was once again at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.
Before going to bed, Mu Feng took the initiative to go upstairs and came to Mu Shaowu's bedroom.
He certainly wasn't there to see Mu Shaowu; he was there to see Ye Qingxi.
"Don't be nervous on stage tomorrow," Mu Feng said gently. "Even if something does happen, it's okay. This is your first time on such a big stage, so it's normal to make mistakes."
Ye Qingxi was very confident, "No, Grandpa, I definitely won't have any problems."
Mu Feng looked at his bright, sparkling eyes and smiled.
“Good,” he said. “As expected of my grandson, Mu Feng, this is exactly how it should be.”
"Go up with your head held high and come down with confidence."
"It's just the opening ceremony of a world championship, right? You've been preparing for it for so long, are you afraid of it?"
"After you finish singing, Grandpa will throw a family banquet to celebrate with you."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? Another family dinner?
However, it seems that their family hasn't had a family dinner in a long time.
It's fine to drive it once.
"Yes." He smiled. "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Keep it up," Mu Feng said gently, patting his shoulder.
