Chapter 3345 Wrap-up Awards Ceremony

Chapter 3345 Wrap-up Awards Ceremony

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

The small boat drifted on the lake, and the children chattered excitedly, their faces beaming with joy. In the distance, beautiful singing could be heard from several girls who looked like students on a boat.

Xiaobai encouraged Xiwawa to sing a song too.

"I'll sing!"

"Stop singing!"

The first sentence was said by Liuliu, and the second sentence was said by Xiaobai.

The two started talking almost at the same time.

Xiaobai predicted Liuliu's prediction.

Liu Liu's face darkened, and she stared at Xiao Bai with a resentful look.

Xiao Bai pretended not to hear and smiled as she urged the happy doll to sing faster.

“In this situation, how can you not sing a song?” Xiao Bai said.

Everyone encouraged Xi'er to sing a song, as Xi'er had the best singing voice.

Liu Liu suggested, "Let's sing 'The Water of West Lake'~~ I'll play the intro for you, dong dong ha, dong dong ha, hey ha, hey ha~~~"

Xi'er sang with a grin: "Waiting a thousand years, who is it that whispers in my ear, saying their love for me will never change?..."

Liu Liu, who had just started the conversation, immediately chimed in, "Me!"

Xi'er sang with a laugh: "Dreams linger, love is far-reaching~~"

Dudu quickly joined in the singing: "Chi~China~~"

She knows how to play accompaniment; although she can't sing well herself, she's very good at it.

Finally, the classic scene arrived. Xi'er gestured for Liu Liu to join in, and the two sang together: "The waters of West Lake~~ My tears~~ I'd rather turn into a flame with you, ahhhhhhh~~~~"

Dudu swayed on the boat, causing the whole boat to rock, which frightened the children so much that they all held onto the gunwale.

Robin thought it was super fun and sang along.

In the end, Xi'er's solo turned into a chorus. When the song reached its climax, especially the part about the water of West Lake, everyone sang together, creating a strong atmosphere.

The singing boat in the distance rowed over and, upon approaching, said, "You sing so well! Even better than professionals."

A pretty girl who looked young said this, glancing at Zhang Tan a couple more times.

A glint flashed in Xiaobai's eyes, and he gave a cold snort, saying, "Of course! Don't you even know who we're singing? We're the Little Red Horse Children's Choir, and the lead singer is a Grammy Award winner!!"

The girls initially thought Xiaobai was joking, but upon closer inspection of the doll, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that it was none other than little Tan Xier!

The scene instantly turned into a fan meeting. Xi'er took photos with them before they reluctantly rowed away.

Xiao Bai stared at the departing ships, snorted coldly, and said to Xiwawa, "You shouldn't have taken a picture with them."

Liu Liu chimed in, "You have to pamper your fans. That's a basic quality of being a big star. Xiao Bai, you're not a big star, so you don't understand these things, but Xiwawa and I understand them very well."

Suddenly, Robin pointed into the water and shouted, "Turtle! There's a baby turtle!"

Xiaobai looked over and, sure enough, saw a tiny turtle, about the size of her palm, swimming slowly in the water, its shell adorned with beautiful patterns. She exclaimed, "Liuliu, Liuliu, what happened?!"

Durian: o(一︿一+)o

"That little brat who has no sense of martial ethics!!!"

The little turtle seemed unafraid of people. It swam to the side of the boat, curiously raised its head, and looked at the children on the boat with its black bean-like eyes.

“It’s so cute…it doesn’t look like a durian at all,” said Xiao Li.

"Can we take it home and raise it?" Tian Xiaoya started to daydream.

The little turtle seemed to understand; it turned its head, dove into the water, and disappeared.

“It ran away!” Robin said regretfully.

Xiaomi said, "Let it go home; it belongs here."

After drifting on the lake for more than half an hour, the boat slowly approached the shore.

The children reluctantly disembarked, still reminiscing about the time they had just spent on the boat.

When it was lunchtime, Zhang Tan led everyone to spread out picnic blankets in the park's picnic area and took out the prepared lunch: sandwiches, fruit salad, small cakes, and a bottle of bear-shaped beverage for each person.

Liu Liu also brought out all the snacks she bought and generously shared them with everyone.

When snacks are plentiful, Liuliu is incredibly generous, but when she's strapped for cash, she'll show everyone just how terrifyingly possessive she can be of her food.

"Cheers!" everyone shouted, raising their beverage bottles.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the picnic blanket. Children sat together, sharing food, chatting and laughing.

While munching on a sandwich, Liuliu mumbled, "Let's come back for outdoor shooting next time! It'll be so much fun!"

Xiao Bai glanced at her: "Do you want to play around or act?"

Liuliu said confidently, "I want both! I want to balance work and play!"

Everyone laughed.

After the meal, the children played games on the lawn, such as Eagle Catches Chicks, Drop the Handkerchief, and Hopscotch... Laughter echoed in the park.

The adults sat together and chatted.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Tan checked the time, clapped his hands and said, "It's time to go back, we have to go to school tomorrow."

Although the children were still reluctant to leave, they obediently packed up their things and lined up neatly.

On the way back, the children were all a bit tired, and the carriage was much quieter.

Liu Liu leaned against the car window, her eyelids drooping, muttering to herself, "Jianbing guozi... turtle... swan..."

Her head gradually tilted to the side and fell onto Xiaobai's shoulder.

Xiao Bai muttered something to himself, but didn't push Liu Liu away. He let her lean on his shoulder; she was really heavy.

She looked through the video clips she had filmed that day, a smile playing on her lips.

The car slowly drove back to Little Red Pony Academy, the setting sun painting the sky a warm orange-red.

As they got off the bus, Xiaobai stood by the door, watching the children disembark one by one, and suddenly exclaimed, "Everyone did a great job today! The location shooting was a complete success! 'Being a Sister Isn't Easy' has officially wrapped up filming!!"

"Yay!" the children cheered.

"What does 'filming wrapped' mean?" Tian Xiaoya asked.

Shi Baobao explained, "It means the filming is finished."

"Is there a celebration party after filming?" Liu Liu immediately perked up.

Xiao Bai announced: "Yes! We're having a wrap-up and awards ceremony tomorrow night. Everyone should come. Everyone who attends will be able to take a trophy home."

"Great!"

After school on Monday afternoon, Xiaobai called Liuliu and Xiaomi, and together they went to buy gifts for the awards ceremony that evening. Meanwhile, Dudu, Xier, Chengcheng, and others went directly to Little Red Horse to set up the stage and make preparations in advance.

But when Xiaobai and the others hurriedly returned to Little Red Horse, the school had already been prepared.

The setting sun bathed the walls of Little Red Horse Academy in a golden-red hue. The courtyard was filled with small stools, and a makeshift "stage" had been set up in front of it. It was actually just two long tables put together and covered with a red cloth with the words "Being a Sister Isn't Easy" written on it: "Wrap-up Awards Ceremony for 'It's Not Easy Being a Sister'".

Because I specifically reminded everyone yesterday, the children arrived very early tonight.

As the sun set and the moon rose into the dark blue sky, Xiaobai, wearing her "director" baseball cap and a bulging fanny pack, stood beside the stage, testing her voice through the megaphone: "Hello, hello, hello—can you hear me?"

"I can hear you—"

The twenty-odd little kids below responded in unison, each sitting up straight with anticipation written all over their faces.
