"Thank you to the little friends from Class 6 for bringing us such a wonderful program..."

On the stage, the children dressed in colorful outfits finished their performance, gathered together, and smiled as they bowed deeply to the children and parents below the stage.

The whole room immediately responded with enthusiastic applause!

After taking their bow, the little classmates of Class 6 left the stage in an orderly manner under the teacher’s guidance.

Two little children serving as hosts from Class 3 and Class 6, wearing beautiful dresses, continued with the microphone, "Now, for the second program, please enjoy the choral performance ’Reciting Tang Poems’ by the children from Class 5."

At this moment, in the waiting area at the side of the stage, Xuanxuan, dressed in a little rabbit dance costume, was waiting along with the children from Class 4 for their moment to take the stage.

Once the Class 5 children’s choral performance was over, it would be their turn, Class 4.

"Children, don’t be nervous..."

Teacher Xu, fearing the children might get stage fright, encouraged them, "Remember, you are all the best, keep it up... Teacher believes in you..."

"Hehe~ Teacher Xu, don’t worry, we’re not scared."

Many children bumped into each other, laughing cheerfully.

Even so,

when it was almost their turn to go on stage, some children still got stage fright.

For instance, Qianqian!

She looked nervously at the dense groups of parents in the audience, tugged at Xuanxuan’s hand, and quietly whispered to her, "Xuanxuan, I’m a bit nervous."

It was Qianqian’s first time performing on stage, despite having rehearsed many times in class.

But at the crucial moment, she couldn’t help but feel timid!

No stage experience!

Xuanxuan was a bit nervous too!

She was worried that if she didn’t dance well on stage, her dad might be disappointed.

But hearing Qianqian’s words, she instead comforted her like a little grown-up, "Don’t be afraid, as long as we dance just like we do in rehearsal and don’t look at those audience members below, we won’t feel nervous."

After a pause, she added, "That’s what my daddy told me!"

As she said this, there was a little pride in her heart!

Daddy is the best!

Whatever daddy says, it’s always right!

Qianqian blinked, showing a little understanding as she nodded, and felt much less nervous.

In her heart, she believed in the words of Xuanxuan’s daddy more than her own dad.

"Teacher Xu..."

Perhaps the nervousness was contagious. Haohao, standing behind them in a big bad wolf costume, was affected too. His previously cheerful look vanished as he raised his hand and shouted, "I want to pee!"

Surprised, Teacher Xu said, "Haohao, didn’t I have you all go to the bathroom before coming downstairs? Why do you need to go again now?"

You didn’t drink any water!

Where is all the pee coming from?

Haohao pouted, feeling wronged, and said, "Teacher... but I really need to pee..."

"Now, huh..."

Xu Weiwei was feeling anxious!

Before she could finish speaking,

several other children raised their hands too, clamoring, "Teacher Xu, I need to pee too!"

At that moment, Xu Weiwei suddenly realized that the kids wanting to use the bathroom were just nervous.

They didn’t really need to go urgently.

Moreover, if the children went to the bathroom now, the nervous feeling might spread, and more kids might follow suit wanting to go.

If that happened,

the whole class would fall into chaos.

If it really came to that, it would be very detrimental to the upcoming performance.

After all the effort and rehearsals, Teacher Xu didn’t want anything to go wrong at this critical moment.

She soothed them, saying, "Everyone, don’t be nervous. If you went to the bathroom now, there wouldn’t be enough time left. Just hang in there a little while longer, and after the performance, the teacher will take you all to the bathroom, alright?"

The little ones who wanted to pee looked at each other, feeling like they really needed to go.

"Don’t be nervous, everyone..."

Teacher Xu felt even more anxious.

For a brief moment...

she regretted letting Ye Wen leave.

If Ye Wen were still here, she would certainly calm these kids down.

After all, Ye Wen had more experience!

Seeing Teacher Xu looking so anxious, the already nervous kids became even more tense.

At this moment, Qianqian shouted to them, "Xuanxuan said, her daddy told us we just need to dance like we do in rehearsal and not look at the audience. That way, we won’t feel nervous."

She repeated the comforting words Xuanxuan had told her, word for word.

All the children fixed their eyes on Xuanxuan, as if waiting for her confirmation.

"That’s right, that’s what my daddy said!"

Xuanxuan nodded earnestly, indicating that what Qianqian said was indeed her words. She continued, "We should listen to Teacher Xu now, hang in there a bit, and go to the bathroom after the performance! Also, our moms and dads are waiting in the audience to see our show! We have to do a great job and not disappoint them..."

In this little circle of Class 4, Xuanxuan’s words carried weight.

Therefore,

her encouragement was more effective than Teacher Xu’s!

After all, Xuanxuan got along well with the other kids and often brought them tasty treats!

Most importantly, she had a dad who cooked delicious food!

Clap clap clap~

Under Teacher Xu’s guidance, crisp applause rang out in waves.

Of course!

This applause was for Xuanxuan, who resolved her teacher’s dilemma!

Yes, it was also for Qianqian, who performed well!

Teacher Xu looked at the two with eyes full of affection, especially for Xuanxuan, who was so sensible!

The other children’s nervousness also eased up due to the applause.

"Shh~"

Xu Weiwei placed her index finger vertically against her lips, signaling the children to stay quiet.

Xuanxuan imitated her and made the same gesture of silence.

Then...

The other children followed suit, making the same gesture and issuing a "shh~" sound.

In this way...

The little crisis caused by nerves quietly passed...

When Class 5’s choral performance "Reciting Tang Poems" ended, and they bowed and left the stage, it was time for the little ones from Class 4 to take the stage.

"It’s starting, it’s starting..."

In the audience, the parents of Class 4 instantly became excited, happily saying to each other, "It’s Class 4’s turn to go on!"

They couldn’t wait to see their children show off their dance moves.

They believed it would be wonderful!

"Now, please enjoy the dance performance ’I Won’t Fall for Your Tricks’ by the children of Class 4."

As soon as they finished speaking,

Teacher Xu quickly led the children on stage, arranging them in formation.

Clap clap clap!

The parents of Class 4 eagerly applauded as they watched, their excitement palpable.

Huang Tao, who had arrived just in time with Teacher Xu, also clapped happily as they saw Xuanxuan already on stage.

Huang Tao even shouted with a smile, "Xuanxuan, keep it up..."

The stage and audience were noisy, but this cheer reached Xuanxuan’s ears.

It was dad!

Dad was cheering and encouraging Xuanxuan from the audience!

Looking down from the stage, she spotted her dad waving at her, and her eyes filled with joy as she returned a sweet smile to him.

The background of the stage gradually lit up as cheerful music started playing: "I won’t, won’t, I won’t fall for your tricks, I won’t, won’t, I won’t fall for your tricks, on Sunday morning I went grocery shopping with mom, mom said I’m so obedient, I’m getting better and better..."

Ye Wen and Xu Weiwei, the two teachers, stood below the stage, leading the dance for the children.

During the leading, both teachers were notably serious, yet they didn’t carry an overly stern demeanor, maintaining smiles all along.

Moreover, the two teachers used various cute gestures to guide the children continuously.

On stage, Xuanxuan and the other children danced joyfully, keeping up with the rhythm without forgetting any dance moves despite any lingering nerves...
