The clown passed the mic to her and smiled, “Then will you please perform for us?”
...
On the other side. Shen Chuchen stood under the stage and frowned while he glanced around him, feeling that something was wrong.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion but all the staff around here felt familiar to him.
The little thing shyly sang a nursery song called “Little White Bunny”. Her voice was soft, sounding exceptionally healing:
“Little white rabbit, two ears sticking up.”
“It loves turnips and vegetables, it looks cute hopping around.”
All the others started to chatter.
“What a cute child.”
“I want a child just by watching her.”
“She’s so pretty too, argh.” The girl covered her face, “I’m dead.”
Shen Chuchen: “...”
He heard the crowd’s discussion and turned his face away in disdain.
Humph, how inexperienced.
...
After the performance ended, the clown gave Ye Sang a balloon.
Shen Chuchen watched as the little thing held a rabbit lantern in her left hand and a balloon in her right hand, he realized something deeply.
This girl probably could do well anywhere.
She didn’t need him to worry so much.
Ye Sang held the lantern and balloon, feeling rewarded, she thanked him crisply, “Thank you, uncle!”
The little girl dragged her milky voice on, melting everyone’s hearts.
Mr. Clown ruffled her hair and asked, “Since you call me uncle, will you play a game with uncle?”
Ye Sang hesitated for a while as she looked at the balloon in her hand, she eventually nodded seriously, “Okay.”
The clown immediately grinned and held her hand, taking her back again.
He took a piece of black fabric and pretended to be mysterious, “Shall I show everyone how to make a living person vanish?”
All the audience cheered.
Shen Chuchen’s forehead throbbed and straightened his back, subconsciously wanting to run up and grab her back.
Huh?
Make her vanish?
Let Huo Yao’s daughter play that?
What a joke.
But people crowded around the stage, and the area in front of him was full too.
There was no way he could get up there unless he knew how to fly.
...
Because it was Ye Sang’s first time playing a game like this, she was exceptionally obedient and stood there with her hands behind her back, letting the clown do his job.
The clown couldn’t help but look at her a few times since he rarely saw a child so obedient.
He smiled and comforted her, “Don’t be scared, we are just showing them a magic trick.”
Ye Sang shook her head and replied, “Sangsang isn’t scared.”
The little girl stood there and then Uncle Clown put a piece of black fabric on her head.
“Sangsang can’t see.” She looked down and whispered.
Mr. Clown rubbed her head comfortingly with the hand hidden under the fabric, telling her to not worry.
Behind the black curtain, the little thing stood there motionlessly, but after a few seconds, she started to lose her consciousness.
Ye Sang shook her head, but eventually fell down as she couldn’t fight the sleepiness.
The clown eyed someone next to him and that person quickly dragged her away.
This all happened in a few seconds and the audience cried in surprise.
The clown smiled and bowed, ready to head backstage after the successful performance.
The audience thought he had other performances to show, and they remained there without realizing that something was wrong.
...
Backstage.
The woman looked down at the unconscious little girl and smiled coldly.
“Are you sure this kid doesn’t have any parents?”
“If she causes any problems, can you afford to take the responsibility for it?”
Obviously, she didn’t think that the girl didn’t have any parents.
She knew just from looking at her clothes alone because an orphan wouldn’t dress so well.
The clown said, “I deceived these two children on the way, you need to stop before going too far. Don’t touch them, do you hear me?!”
The woman’s lips twitched and humphed coldly whilst looking at the two girls curled up on the ground, “Fine.”
Although that’s what she said, he wouldn’t know what she was thinking.
“Oh speaking of which,” The woman seemed to remember something as she turned to the clown and smiled profoundly, “Other than these two, I caught another two boys.”
Her lips curled up, obviously pleased with herself, “They probably snuck out of the house without their parents. I thought they could make up for the number if you didn’t get enough.”
Liu Yue’er tilted her chin, “But I didn’t think you were so fast.”
The clown didn’t bother with her decisions. He frowned slightly after Liu Yue’er said that she caught another two boys, but he decided to stop bothering as he waved his hand, “Whatever. It’s your decision. Since you caught them, we’ll take all four children.”
He pointed at Ye Sang and frowned tightly, “I have a feeling that her father is a difficult one, let’s get going as soon as possible.”
“He probably already realized that something was wrong.”
The two exchanged a glance with each other and quickly decided to leave with these four children.
...
No one knew what happened backstage, and all the people on the street crowded around the stage.
“Why aren’t they coming out yet?”
“Let’s wait, maybe something’s up.”
“Oh, but where’s that child?”
Everyone fell silent at the question.
Shen Chuchen overheard this and the tense string in his head snapped.
The man’s face fell dark and pulled a person by the collar, dragging him back.
He was too worried about the little thing’s safety. He pursed his lips together and didn’t bother to maintain his image as he tried to dive into the crowd.
However, Shen Chuchen underestimated the crowd’s power. The crowd blocked his path tightly like a wall.
The man cursed in a low voice gloomily.
He fixed his gaze on the crowd surrounding the stage, remembering the clown’s weird and fishy actions.
