House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 439: The Adorable Little Girl

Xixi was also dressed very beautifully today, wearing a light-blue dress with gauzy sleeves and a light-blue headband with a light-blue gauze flower attached to the right side

Although the light-blue color didn’t have as much of a girlish feel as pink, it still made the little girl look especially lively and adorable!

After her father went up to sing, Xixi was looked after by her Aunt Mo Xiaojuan. However, she didn’t stay in the lounge. Instead, she hid backstage, and she watched all of her parent’s performance.

There were also some stage dancers backstage, who were waiting for the next performance to go onstage and dance for Mo Fei, and at this moment, they were also chattering among themselves, “Everyone says Mo Fei sings beautifully, but I didn’t expect Yang Yi to sing so well too.”

Xixi turned her little head and looked at their backs, catching a few words with her ears.

It seemed that they were praising her father!

The little girl puffed out her chest happily and proudly, muttering softly, “That’s my Papa!”

However, the backstage was rather noisy, and Xixi’s voice was very soft, so no one noticed.

Mo Xiaojuan’s attention wasn’t on Xixi either. She listened attentively to Mo Fei’s introduction on stage while holding Xixi’s hand so she wouldn’t wander off and get lost.

Finally, she heard the cue.

Mo Xiaojuan smiled, crouched down, placed her hands on Xixi’s little shoulders, and said softly, “Xixi, now it’s your turn to go on stage!”

It turned out that after Mo Fei returned last night, she had suddenly thought about this issue and discussed it with Yang Yi. She felt that since the media had already exposed Xixi’s photos, there was no need for her to continue hiding Xixi. She might as well introduce Xixi to the public openly.

And that was how this scene came about!

However, despite having played on this stage several times over the past two days and doing well during rehearsals, Mo Fei and the others hadn’t expected that something would go wrong when it was really Xixi’s turn to go on stage tonight!

Xixi ran toward her parents on stage, but just as her little head peeked out, she felt the enthusiastic cheers from the audience below and froze.

This was different from the rehearsal!

Why were there so many people?

And the deafening cheers were especially clear and frightening when Xixi came out from backstage!

The little girl was only four and a half years old after all, and she was a little overwhelmed by this grand scene. Upon hearing it, she instinctively turned her head and ran.

The main character showed only her little face before running back? The loyal cameraman recorded this scene and conveyed it through the big screen, allowing even the audience seated in the far corners to see it.

“Oh my!” Mo Fei’s fans below the stage couldn’t help laughing, but it was all good-natured laughter, as they thought the little girl was too adorable!

Interestingly enough, perhaps because Yang Yi attracted too much attention, Xixi, who was also at the center of the gossip, actually received much less attention. Everyone had only enthusiastically discussed her age.

Perhaps it was also because Xixi was a child. Kind-hearted people had shown a little restraint, and when they criticized Yang Yi, they didn’t bring Xixi into it.

Now, everyone at the venue clearly knew that there was no need to introduce Xixi’s identity at all. She was the daughter of Mo Fei and Mu Li’ang. Besides, she was so adorable—who could bear to blame her?

Just as they were watching Xixi run back with amusement and wondering what they should do, a woman ran out with Xixi, covering her face.

The woman brought Xixi to Yang Yi’s side, then covered her face again and ran offstage. Once again, the scene on the big screen caused laughter among the fans.

That’s right. It was Mo Xiaojuan!

Yes, this was simply like covering one’s ears while stealing a bell! But Mo Xiaojuan, who was covering her face, was also very desperate!

She hadn’t expected that she would have to go onstage as well. She hadn’t even touched up her makeup beforehand, and her hair was still a mess. But there was no time now. All she could do was cover her face with one hand while sending Xixi, who was too scared to go on stage alone, up there.

Of course, Mo Xiaojuan wasn’t the main character. After the audience laughed, they didn’t pay attention to the woman covering her face. Instead, they all focused their attention on the big screen, where the cute little girl was being held by Yang Yi.

The waves of laughter made the little girl so shy that she buried her face in her father’s arms, acting like an ostrich.

“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Yang Yi gently said beside his daughter’s ear. “Don’t be scared. Papa’s right here!”

In her father’s arms, listening to his voice, Xixi finally felt a little calmer. She wrapped her arms around her father’s neck and whispered, “Papa, it’s so dark, and there are so many people! I’m scared…”

It turned out that the darkness was also part of the reason. With such a dark mass covering the area and making such frightening sounds, how could Xixi not be afraid?

“Don’t be scared.” Yang Yi said gently to Xixi, “Papa is holding you, so you don’t have to be scared of anything, because whether it’s monsters or big bad wolves, Papa will defeat them all, right?”

To help Xixi relax a little, Yang Yi also pointed at the camera in front of them and said, “Look, this big camera is filming us!”

Xixi couldn’t help but feel a little curious in her heart. After all, she hadn’t experienced this during the stage rehearsal that afternoon, so she turned her head and looked toward the direction her father was pointing.

“Then look at the big screen behind us. See if we’re up there?” Yang Yi said with a smile, pointing at the huge screen where Mo Fei had appeared earlier.

At this moment, Xixi suddenly felt as if the whole world was left with only Xixi, her father, and her mother beside her. She didn’t have to be too nervous, and then she followed her father’s gaze toward the back.

“Wow! It’s so big!” The little girl showed a look of amazement.

The cameraman quickly turned the camera around, just in time to capture the little girl’s face as she looked up. Her round, big eyes and soft, adorable little face immediately won over the hearts of countless fans.

“Ah! I’m up there!” Xixi forgot her nervousness and giggled. She grabbed her father’s arm, pointed at the big screen above, and said to him.

Although they couldn’t hear what Xixi was saying, her eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled, instantly infecting all the fans, and their moods also became bright and happy.

Finally, things could get back on track. Mo Fei held a microphone and said, “Xixi, would you like to introduce yourself to the older brothers and sisters who came to see Mama’s concert today?”

Xixi turned around. Although she was still a little nervous, she could communicate now, so she nodded her little head.

“Then, first tell the older brothers and sisters, what is your name?” Mo Fei guided her.

Yang Yi held the microphone in his hand toward Xixi.

The little girl’s clear, sweet voice finally came through the sound system at the venue: “My name is Yang Xi, and I’m four years old this year!”

Mo Fei didn’t even need to ask about the latter sentence. Xixi herself habitually said it, as she had introduced herself this way before.

Huh?

Xixi heard her own voice become so loud and looked around in surprise.

Hearing Xixi’s soft voice and her distinctive way of speaking, the fans below the stage couldn’t help but applaud her.

“Then, what’s your Papa’s name?” Mo Fei asked with a smile.

“My Papa’s name is Yang Yi!” Xixi said obediently.

Now Xixi was no longer nervous, and she even found it very fun. She has been curious about how the microphone in front of her makes her voice become so loud. Her ability to adapt was quite good.

“What’s your Mama’s name?” Mo Fei continued to ask.

“My Mama’s name is Mo Fei. Hehe, that’s you!” The little girl said this with a beaming smile.

This sweet laughter almost melted the hearts of the fans below the stage.

“Thank you, Xixi. Yes, this is the second person I wanted to introduce to everyone today—my daughter with Yang Yi, Xixi.”

That was the end of Xixi’s self-introduction. After kissing the little girl’s cheek, Mo Fei asked Yang Yi to take Xixi backstage first.

After watching Yang Yi carry Xixi back backstage, Mo Fei sincerely bowed to the audience below the stage and then said, “I’m very sorry that we hid this from everyone for so many years. It was also my fault. I’ve always had a deep idol complex, worried that everyone wouldn’t be able to accept it, and also worried that the media’s excessive attention after the exposure would be detrimental to the child’s growth. I’m only telling everyone now. Can you forgive me?”

“Forgive! Of course we forgive you!” The voices from below the stage rose one after another.

Mo Fei’s sincere explanation still won her the applause of the entire audience.

The fans were really adorable!

“Thank you all. Yang Yi is a relatively low-key person, so he’s been using the name Mu Li’ang before because he was worried that our relationship would be exposed. Unexpectedly, it still caused such a misunderstanding. However, please rest assured that in the future, we will continue to work hard to create more good songs as before, dedicated to everyone!” Mo Fei bowed deeply once again.

“It’s okay!”

“As long as you’re happy!”

“We all love you two! And we love Xixi too!”

The screams from the fans below the stage made Mo Fei’s heart feel warm.

Although this whole revelation had taken quite a long time, after all, today’s event was Mo Fei’s concert, and Mo Fei hadn’t forgotten that.

“Thank you again everyone. I also hope everyone can pay a little less attention to our child and give her a relaxed space to grow. I don’t know what else to say, so I’ll continue singing for everyone! From today onward, everything seems to have returned to the beginning, but just like the songs Yang Yi wrote for me, I also hope that I can stay true to my original intention and continue working hard on my path in music, singing for all of you who support me! That’s enough!” Mo Fei wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and said with a smile.

She had really smiled a lot today, but this scene made the fans feel both happy and heartbroken.

However, once the music started, everything seemed to return to the right track again, and Mo Fei quickly returned to her state.

“Even if pride hadn’t been coldly struck down by the sea of reality, how would I have known how much harder I needed to work to reach the distant place…” Mo Fei’s clear and beautiful voice rang out in the stadium once again, and all the restless hearts gradually became calm.

The fans waved their glow sticks and quietly listened to Mo Fei’s song—no, they listened to her story, to that original dream.
