My cousin asked me to go to Wuha, and Hanikezi stuck to me.

Applause erupted from all sides of the auditorium.

The two seconds that my daughter held the pose on stage were stretched out to an extreme degree.

After the spotlight operator dimmed the beam, the little girl lowered her arms and bowed to the audience.

He bent over too much and his body swayed.

She lifted her skirt to steady herself, her face flushed, and jogged into the side of the stage.

Chen Yi locked his phone screen, leaned back in the last row of seats, and let out a long sigh.

He didn't move for the rest of the program, sitting quietly until the end of the performance.

Two parents passed by him midway, glancing at him a couple of times, but they couldn't recognize his identity.

The hat and mask covered everything completely in the dim light.

As the event ended, the crowd surged towards the front of the stage, eager to take photos with the performers.

Chen Yi didn't push forward, but went around to the side door and followed the corridor to the backstage dressing room.

The locker room door was half-open, and the sounds of children playing could be heard from inside.

The female teacher who was maintaining order at the door paused slightly when she saw him approach.

Chen Yi pulled down his mask and spoke softly.

"I am Chen Ruolin's parent, here to pick up my child."

The female teacher's eyes showed surprise.

She turned and called out towards the door.

"Ruolin, your father has arrived."

The changing room fell silent.

A green shadow darted out immediately.

The girl hadn't had time to change yet; her light green skirt was stained with dust, and she was wearing dance shoes.

She rushed out with hurried steps, then stopped in the corridor.

"dad?"

Chen Yi squatted down.

The girl looked at him, her eyes instantly reddening.

She rushed forward, threw herself into his arms, and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

"How did you get back? Mom said you were still filming on set!"

"I flew here specifically to see you on stage."

The little girl looked up, her nose red, tears welling up in her eyes, which she held back.

"Is it pretty?"

"Extremely good."

"The truth? You're not lying to me?"

"Dad never coaxes you."

The daughter sniffed.

"Then tell me which move you performed the best."

"That final freeze-frame."

The little guy grinned, revealing his hollow front teeth, and rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand.

"I practiced that move for a long time. My mother said that to finish, you have to stand firmly and stand still without distraction. I practiced it many times, and I used to blink a lot. Later, my mother taught me to stare at the light source and imagine that the light is shining from a very far place, making my body feel warm and cozy, and then I naturally stopped blinking."

"Mom's teachings are right."

"So how did I dance?"

"Better than Dad."

The daughter was stunned.

"Dad doesn't dance at all, so it doesn't count."

"Then you're the strongest."

The girl raised her chin and nuzzled against his shoulder again.

"Is Dad staying home tonight?"

Chen Yi raised his hand to smooth the sweat-dampened strands of hair from her forehead.

"I need to get to the airport later. Filming hasn't wrapped up yet, and the crew is waiting to start work."

The girl's lips twitched, but she quickly composed herself.

"Then come back early after you finish filming, and I'll dance for you again."

"it is good."

Hanikezi waited outside the main entrance of the auditorium.

She stood by the window in the corridor, carrying her daughter's clothes and schoolbag.

Chen Yi led his daughter forward.

Hanikezi looked up at him.

Is the location remote?

"The last row is on the far right."

"Can you see it clearly now?"

"I saw everything clearly."

Hanikezi raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not ask any further questions.

She knelt down to help her daughter change out of her dance dress.

As she changed, the daughter kept talking about what was happening on stage.

"Mom, I almost lost my footing on the second lap, but I kept my eyes on the front as you taught me, and used my strength to steady myself immediately."

"Practice diligently."

"The tempo quickened in the middle section, and I was a little rushed at first, but after catching my breath, I was able to keep up."

"Can you hear the music clearly?"

"I heard it very clearly."

"If you can hear the music clearly, it proves that you haven't panicked. When a layman goes on stage, his ears are ringing, but if you can keep up with the melody, it shows that you are confident and composed."

After changing their clothes, the three of them walked out of the school gate.

The midday sun was at its brightest, its light dazzling.

The daughter held the hands of the two men on either side and skipped happily forward.

Chen Yi had lunch with the mother and daughter.

It's that old-established noodle shop right next to the school.

My daughter ordered a large bowl of tomato and egg noodles and ate it all up.

After the meal, I escorted the mother and daughter home.

His daughter hugged his leg as she changed her shoes in the entryway.

"How much longer will Dad film?"

"It will be soon, in a little over a month."

"A month is so long."

"Dad will come in once you've mastered the fourth set of moves."

The daughter let go of his hand, her expression turning serious.

It's a deal.

Chen Yi rubbed her head and looked at Hanikezi.

The two needed to say more.

At five o'clock in the evening, he got into a taxi to the airport.

The flight is scheduled for 8:20.

There weren't many passengers in the waiting hall, so he found a quiet spot to sit down and took out his photo album.

The performance was recorded in its entirety for more than two minutes.

He opened it from the beginning and examined it closely.

Despite the distance and slight shakiness of the image, the daughter's figure remained clearly visible.

The movements were fluid and smooth, though somewhat awkward, the performance far exceeded expectations.

He looked at it again and noticed a subtle flaw.

When the girl spun around for the third time, her cheek turned slightly to the side.

It wasn't a natural sway from the turn, but rather a deliberate glance towards the audience.

The process took less than half a second.

It is extremely difficult to detect unless you watch it frame by frame.

My gaze went past the parents in the front row and the stacked seats, straight to the back.

Chen Yi pulled back the pace, slowed it down, and reviewed it repeatedly.

Absolutely no mistakes.

The view was directed towards the last corner of the row.

She was searching for him.

She wasn't sure if he had arrived, but she was still searching.

Chen Yi placed his phone on his lap and leaned back in his chair.

The announcement is broadcasting boarding reminders.

He closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds before pressing the voice input button with his fingertip.

Before leaving, he sent out a brief message.

"Dad saw everything. When you turn around, look at the last row, and Dad is right there."
