CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 370 THE SELF-TAUGHT DABAO

As the music started, Sanbao finally began...

Dancing gracefully?

"Pfft...!"

Sitting next to Xiao Fei, Tang Yuxin watched for a while before she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Even Xiao Fei couldn’t help but smile as well.

There was nothing they could do. The scene before them was just too funny.

Sanbao was just a little over three years old, small in stature and with baby fat, those tiny short arms and legs, so cute.

On regular days, Xiao Fei couldn’t resist pinching and playing with her often...

After all, the touch was just too delightful.

However, the choreography for "Pipa Xing" required a graceful woman to bring out the beauty in the dance.

Seeing a little girl like Sanbao perform it looked odd no matter how you saw it.

Fortunately, Sanbao danced with utmost seriousness, clearly full of confidence.

Watching her dance, Xiao Fei suddenly let out a soft "Hmm."

"What’s up, honey?"

Tang Yuxin gently turned to lean her head on Xiao Fei’s shoulder and asked in a whisper.

Xiao Fei leaned toward Tang Yuxin’s ear and said, "Did you notice, honey, that while Sanbao’s dancing makes one chuckle, the kid’s... her moves are meticulous, doesn’t she seem to have a talent for dancing?"

Hearing Xiao Fei say this, Tang Yuxin watched closely for a moment and had to admit that Xiao Fei was indeed right.

"Do you think we should nurture Sanbao in this direction?"

As parents, nurturing a child is naturally the greatest pleasure.

This feeling of personally cultivating a child from cluelessness to talent, as well as the happiness upon seeing them achieve something, is the finest brew on earth.

Xiao Fei was a bit hesitant.

He didn’t want to waste the baby’s talent, but he was also concerned that enforcing this on Sanbao might seem a bit too forceful.

"How about we see what Sanbao thinks?"

"If she likes it, we’ll get her a good teacher; if she doesn’t, then forget it."

"Honestly, honey, you’re just too indulgent with the kids."

Tang Yuxin pouted.

"If the child has talent, as parents, we naturally have to take advantage, otherwise little kids will easily waste their talent getting playful and distracted by other things."

Xiao Fei gave a wry smile.

Tang Yuxin’s thoughts were probably very common.

Most parents think that kids are playful, so upon discovering their child’s talent in a certain area, they will subconsciously force the child to learn things they don’t want to under the pretense of "It’s for their own good, they’ll understand in the future."

It’s hard to say whether this is right or wrong.

After all, the parents’ intentions are well-meant and from the heart, they are for the child.

All one could say is, parents’ hearts are universally compassionate.

Xiao Fei didn’t really want to argue with Tang Yuxin over this matter.

He gently held Tang Yuxin’s soft hand and just said in a low voice, "Let’s see."

"Hmm..."

Tang Yuxin clearly sensed Xiao Fei’s evasion, and she gave him an annoyed glance.

Finally, Sanbao’s performance ended.

After that, many children took the stage one after another.

But no child could perform as Sanbao or Xiao Yu did.

By the time all the programs were over, it was already noon.

Considering tomorrow was Saturday, the kindergarten ended early today, letting the parents take their children home after the midday performances.

At the kindergarten entrance, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin watched as three kids ran toward them.

"Dad~ Mom~~"

"School’s out~~~~"

"Daddy Daddy mummy mummy mummy..."

Little Sanbao, running and shouting, changed pitch by the end.

To prevent the kids from carelessly bumping into Tang Yuxin, Xiao Fei stepped forward slightly, bent down, and embraced all three incoming kiddos.

"Daddy smooch!!!!"

Just as she fell into Xiao Fei’s arms, Sanbao gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Dabao and Erbao immediately followed suit.

Xiao Fei returned the kiss.

Watching her husband and kids exchanging affection, Tang Yuxin smiled with bliss and then suddenly looked ahead.

He Tong walked gracefully, holding Xiao Yu’s hand.

Xiao Yu kept her head down, her little face full of grievance, her eyes red like a ripe peach, clearly having just cried not long ago.

He Tong walked softly speaking comforting words to her, her face full of a mixture of helplessness and heartache.

"Oh dear? What’s up with Xiao Yu? Why is she crying?"

With sharp eyes, Tang Yuxin noticed Xiao Yu’s oddity immediately and hurriedly expressed her concern.

Her voice was filled with heartfelt sympathy, as if she felt the same grievances Xiao Yu did.

"This kid..."

He Tong sighed helplessly, her face a mix of anger and amusement.

She gently patted Xiao Yu’s little hand as if to calm her down first.

"Remember what I told you before?"

Tang Yuxin and Xiao Fei exchanged glances and then nodded.

They recalled that He Tong mentioned before how Xiao Yu was very enthusiastic at home, always wanting to dance for Dabao.

He Tong continued, "That’s right, this child practiced hard because she wanted to dance well, practicing whenever she could. She was very serious."

"But when it came time to perform, she realized only the parents were in the audience, and all the kids were backstage."

Her tone was full of pity for Xiao Yu.

"She worked so hard practicing, but in the end, Dabao didn’t get to see it..."

He Tong hadn’t even finished before Xiao Yu, who had barely stopped crying, started shedding tears again.

She sorrowfully used her little hand to wipe her tears, sobbing pitifully.

Tang Yuxin felt so sorry for her.

She had long regarded Xiao Yu as her daughter-in-law and quickly squatted down, gently hugging Xiao Yu like her own child. "Sweetie, don’t cry, it’s okay. You can always dance for Dabao whenever."

"There will be plenty of opportunities."

Dabao, hearing the commotion, came over as well.

Seeing Xiao Yu cry like that, he felt bad too. He reached out his chubby hand to carefully wipe the tears from Xiao Yu’s face and softly said, "Xiao Yu, come play at our house today!"

"We can play together, and you can dance for me."

Xiao Yu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Dabao to say that. She lowered her head slightly, a hint of shyness crossing her face, and she softly said, "I... I wanted to dance for Xinghe..."

"Yes, yes, so come to our house to play!"

Dabao gave Xiao Yu a big smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Yu lifted her head, looking at He Tong with those big watery eyes, her gaze full of pleading.

He Tong, seeing her daughter’s look, felt utterly helpless, secretly thinking: This darn girl, might as well just marry now!!!!

"Alright then, today we’ll go to Uncle Xiao’s house to play."

In the end, He Tong softened and agreed to Xiao Yu’s request.

"Ohhhhh...!!!!"

Upon hearing this news, Erbao and Sanbao jumped with excitement, happily cheering, their voices echoing throughout the campus.

Xiao Yu finally stopped crying, her previously tear-streaked face breaking into a smile.

When Tang Yuxin released Xiao Yu, little Dabao, who seemed to have learned from somewhere, instinctively took Xiao Yu’s hand.

And then, before anyone could react, smack!

He kissed Xiao Yu’s cheek right in front of both sets of parents!

He Tong’s eyes instantly narrowed, her face showing a half-smiling expression: "Heh heh... heh heh heh heh heh..."

Her gaze roamed up and down Dabao, as if evaluating whether this little guy was good enough, then settled on Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin, jokingly saying, "You two, you’ll have to host us well today, otherwise it won’t do."

"Hahahahaha... No problem at all!"

Xiao Fei laughed heartily, secretly giving a thumbs-up to the bewildered Dabao, thinking: Good job, little guy! Well done!
