"If I had known earlier, I would have taught An An An the boxing style. It would definitely be better than his." Lei Zichen whispered into Tao Tian's ear.

"I am a black belt in Taekwondo. No matter what, I am from the police." Lei Zichen couldn't help but feel regret.

"Alright, think about it. Our program is also very unique." On the other hand, Tao Tian remained calm as he spoke to Lei Zichen with a calm expression.

Next was the third group, a simple family skit, yet it still made the children in the group below want to make fun of it.

"Ai, if I knew earlier, I would have let the director who was filming for Xue'er create a drama for us. It definitely would have been better than this." Lei Zichen said as he rubbed his thigh.

"Mayor Lei Dong, can you stop sighing? Every family has their own unique characteristics." Tao Tian helplessly looked at Lei Zichen, who had a competitive expression on his face. This man really did look like a child when he was serious.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lei Zichen was a bit disheartened. He began to have less and less confidence in himself.

"As for you, just remember your lyrics when the time comes, stop thinking nonsense. It's useless." Tao Tian saw through Lei Zichen's worries and reminded him in a low voice. Our program is also very unique. " Tao Yao smiled as he comforted her.

"Mother An An, your family will be in charge of the other two groups. Please come with me to the backstage to prepare." A teacher walked up to them and reminded them in a low voice.

Oh, yes." Tao Tian nodded his head. He hastily hugged the prop bear and dragged An An An, who was looking down on him, to the backstage. "Zichen, An An An can stop looking. Let's go." Tao Tian loudly shouted.

"Big brother, Auntie Zhong, don't forget to take our photos." Tao Yao smiled as he instructed.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Tao Ran patted his chest and said.

"An Xin, you can do it!" Ye Ning Tian also loudly called out to Tao Tian while waving her arm and cheering him on.

"Mommy, do you remember the lyrics?" An'an asked somewhat worriedly. One could tell that he was very nervous about this performance.

"Remember, I'm smarter than your uncle." Thinking of the boasts that Lei Zichen often made, Tao Yao said with a smile.

"Today, it's not uncle. Today, it's father." Anthea hurriedly corrected.

"That's right, that's right." Lei Zichen also had a complacent look on his face.

"Alright, hurry up and change your clothes." Tao Tian reminded, helping An An An change her clothes, and also dressed up for herself.

"Yao Yao, why aren't you putting on makeup?" Lei Zichen looked at Tao Tian's unpainted face in surprise, "You're a makeup artist, yet you don't know how to make your own face up. At least this can be considered as acting."

"Forget it, I will just make it for others. Stop blabbering and quickly change clothes." Tao Tian gently smacked Lei Zichen on the head with the bear in his arms, reminding him to act quickly.

"Mother An An, are you ready?" The teacher from before walked over and asked.

"Alright, it's done." Tao Tian nodded his head repeatedly.

"Please come with me. You'll be next." As the teacher said this, he walked to the front to lead the way.

The three of them followed closely behind.

"Alright, it's your turn. Hurry up." When they reached the backstage passage, the teacher told the three of them.

The three of them disguised themselves as bears and walked leisurely to the center of the stage. The people below the stage burst into laughter. The three of them looked extremely silly, even a bit comical. It was no wonder that they were laughing.

Looking at the crowd, Tao Tian felt a bit dizzy. She was no longer suitable for the public to clamor with. In addition, the lights were somewhat dazzling, causing her to continuously retreat without being able to open her eyes.

"Yao Yao, don't be nervous." Lei Zichen hurriedly pulled her hand and reminded Tao Tian upon seeing his hesitation.

"Hello everyone, my name is An An. These two people are my parents." He didn't expect An An to introduce himself. This little kid always made people surprised.

"Alright, the next thing we're going to do is show you three bears." As An An said this, she began to twist her little butt as if she had been rehearsed beforehand, seriously singing. She looked really cute inside the thick, raging props, causing everyone below the stage to exclaim in surprise.

He had never lacked opportunities to speak in public, not to mention it was just a kindergarten activity. Although the way he dressed was a bit strange, as he sang, he almost forgot that he was wearing such a strange outfit. Later on, he would jump up and down according to the rehearsal, letting himself indulge in such a weird performance. Although this outfit was strange, it didn't affect Lei Zichen's handsomeness in the slightest. Every movement he made would attract the cheers of the young ladies.

Next was Tao Tian. On the other hand, he was a bit nervous and his hands were trembling slightly. Luckily, Lei Zichen was holding onto her, which prevented her from shaking too much.

The last time was when the three of them sang together.

Tao Tian would occasionally catch a glimpse of Tao Ran, who was arduously cheering and taking photos for them. Even Ye Ningtian, without the slightest trace of arrogance, continued to cheer for them.

Looking at Lei Zichen, who was doing his best just like him, Tao Tian suddenly felt that he was very rich, even richer than when he was the young miss of Tao family.

After the singing finished, the three of them took their positions and ended the show in unison. This caused another round of laughter to erupt from below the stage. Soon after, more applause could be heard as people started cheering from time to time.

The three retreated to the backstage and quickly switched out their props. They were jumping and jumping just now, which made them sweat profusely.

Tao Ran looked at the temporarily empty stage and thought back to the three people's tacit understanding of the performance. He felt a little disappointed and disappointed. Sometimes, the show of life would end or they would change roles …

"Uncle, Grandma, how was our performance?" After changing her clothes, An An snuck back to Tao Ran's side and asked expectantly.

"Our An'an is simply too adorable," Tao Yao replied with a smile. "Don't worry, I've really flattered An An. I'll show it to you when we get home." In order to let An Xin confirm that she had performed very well in the show, Tao Ran hastily promised.

"En, alright. I knew uncle would be the best." An'an sat contentedly at the side, minding his own business and drinking the wine on the table.

"An An, what are you talking about?" Soon after, Lei Zichen and Tao Tian also came over.

"Uncle said we did very well." An'an proudly said.

"Really? Brother, how about watching our performance from below? " Tao Tian curiously asked.

"Very good, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful." Tao Ran smiled but didn't comment any further.

"Then what about me? What about me?" An An continued to ask.

"You, of course, are the best." Tao Ran used both of his hands to hold An An's face as he lovingly looked at her.

They were not in the mood to watch the rest of the show. They continued chatting, especially since Auntie Zhong really wanted to eat Lei Zichen to her heart's content.

"I'm so happy to see all of you like this." Auntie Zhong gently patted Lei Zichen's back as she smiled lovingly.

"This... This isn't something I can do by myself, "Lei Zichen said as he looked meaningfully at Tao Tian.

Tao Tian glanced back at Lei Zichen and smiled. She was no longer as resistant as she had been at the beginning. This was because she knew that this time, he would not abandon her, leaving her alone.

"Ring, ring, ring …" Lei Zichen's phone suddenly rang. Under such a peaceful atmosphere, the ringing sound was rather abrupt.

"Ah, Auntie, let me go pick up a call first." Lei Zichen hurriedly left the auditorium with his phone.

"Hello," Lei Zichen picked up the phone. It was Irene.

"Brother Zichen, where are you and what are you doing?" Irene asked impatiently.

"I'm out for a meeting." Lei Zichen thought for a moment. He didn't deliberately want to lie, but he didn't know how to explain all of this to Irene. In his story with Tao Tian, Irene was also the innocent one.

"Oh, then go ahead and busy yourself. Actually, I don't have much to do." Irene said somewhat dejectedly, "I just want to hear your voice."

"Aren't you coming tomorrow?" Lei Zichen said in a light tone as he paced back and forth in front of the auditorium's entrance.

"Yeah, the moment I think about seeing you tomorrow, I want to hear your voice even more." Irene said pitifully.

"Oh." With just a single word, Lei Zichen didn't know what to say.

"Brother Zichen, do you want me to bring something over for you?" Breaking the deadlock between her and Lei Zichen had become Irene's strong point. As long as she wanted to continue chatting with Lei Zichen, she would always have ways to keep the conversation going on.

"There's no need, we … We also have to go back on Monday. " Lei Zichen was a bit depressed and a bit disappointed. Irene always easily pulled him back from his beautiful dream with Tao Tian to reality. This was something he had no choice but to face.

"Oh, then I'll decide for myself. Go and busy yourself, Brother Zichen. I love you. See you tomorrow." This was Irene's last sentence after every phone call she had with Lei Zichen. Although she had said three years, but she hadn't moved Lei Zichen at all, it only made him feel even more guilty.

"Alright, goodbye." Lei Zichen softly spat out these words before hanging up the phone. He was deep in thought. Tomorrow, Irene, I'm sorry …

Lei Zichen calmed himself down and tried to put on a smile before returning to the company with a relaxed expression.

"I'm back." Auntie Zhong and the others were still whispering with their heads lowered. Lei Zichen smiled as he told everyone and returned to his seat.

"I'm back. Who called you?" Tao Tian looked up and subconsciously asked.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just a subordinate asking about some work matters. After all, it's been a long time since I've returned to Yan City." Lei Zichen scratched his head with a relaxed expression on his face. God knows he actually felt like he was squeezed into a crevice, squeezing him so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

"Zichen, what are you daydreaming about?" Seeing Lei Zichen's strange expression, Tao Tian asked with concern, "Look at you, you're blushing."

"It's alright, that bear just now was quite hot." Lei Zichen hastily wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile.

"Yeah, you're right. I almost couldn't breathe." Tao Tian agreed.

"Alright, let's watch someone else's performance."

Lei Zichen sat down next to Tao Tian. Looking at Tao Tian's slender hands which were unconsciously resting on his knees, he suddenly remembered that he had been holding her hand on the stage. Even though he was holding her hand, he could still feel the coldness coming from Tao Tian's fingertips through the roaring fabric. She trusted him so much that only when he held her would she be at peace.

"Lei Dong, why are you staring at An Xin like that?" Ye Ning Tian's loudspeakers were shouting, startling Tao Tianhe, who was watching the performance. On the side, Lei Zichen was completely stunned.
