Holding two clay dolls in her hands, the little girl nodded with satisfaction and imdiately wanted to pack them into her small backpack.
Xiao Feng said inexplicably, "Shouldn't you give one?"
The little girl pondered for a mont, handed the clay doll modeled after herself, and sighed, "I made these two clay dolls because I thought that if one day I was taken back by my family, Brother Xiao Feng, you could put it at your bedside.
When you miss , you can talk to it, and if talking doesn't work, you can kiss it..."
Xiao Feng's face darkened, thinking if he really did what the little girl suggested, he'd probably be caught as a lunatic, right?
While thinking, he heard the little girl saying again, "Of course, if none of these thods work, you can buy a plane ticket and fly to be with ."
Xiao Feng rubbed his nose, "Why does it sound like a matter of life and death? Anyti you want to co, you just fly back. After you graduate, you can also choose to live in the country."
"It's not that simple. I'm just afraid by then my parents will have my life planned out, and wanting to see Brother Xiao Feng won't be that easy." The little girl's tone was low and sounded serious.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to say sothing, he saw Zhao Guo'an and others coming over, so he put the clay doll in his pocket without saying more.
"My friends are here, why don't you make one for each of them?" The little girl pointed at Zhao Guo'an and the others.
The lady cheerfully agreed, quickly getting to work, and at checkout, gave an 20% discount for a total of seven clay dolls, charging only three hundred yuan, which was quite cheap.
Having finished making clay dolls, the group continued walking forward.
At this ti, the street corner ahead was already crowded with people, and the dense beats of drums sounded.
Upon hearing the sound of drumming, the little girl imdiately cheered up and pulled Lin Jiaxuan to sprint to the front of the crowd, where they indeed saw a group of acrobats.
Xiao Feng and others followed closely, seeing people starting simple performances, juggling several plastic balls with two hands, walking on iron balls, and fire-breathing acts, varied and dazzling.
Not long after, enough people arrived.
A man with a straight nose, square mouth, and a chubby, square face, happily stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "Ladies and gentlen, our acrobat troupe has co to this lovely place for the first ti, if you have money, support us financially; if you don't, give us your applause as we exert our strength, shall we?"
This person was precisely the leader Xiao Feng t during the day.
It was evident that he was articulate and smooth handling matters.
Of course, this was the basic condition for roaming and performing. If one were too stubborn, they wouldn't be able to lead a troupe performing around.
"Good!"
Sure enough, with just a few words from the plump leader, the lively crowd started shouting out in approval, applauding and increasing the atmosphere dramatically.
The chubby leader took the microphone and said, "About what was ntioned earlier, it's truly our first ti performing here, but strictly speaking, that's not accurate.
Perhaps so of you might know, we perford a few acts here in the morning, but so incident happened over at that street corner, and everyone went to see the commotion. Does anyone know what happened?"
It wasn't that this acrobat troupe leader was too gossip-prone but rather from years of performances, he summarized a rule: attracting people was easy, retaining them wasn't.
So, he was aware of what kind of performance was needed where.
At this mont, the onlookers started discussing...
"Just the pharmacy behind us, most things inside are fake, exposed by a young man, later even officials from the drug administration ca to investigate."
"I was there in the morning, and those two guys were quite handso. Thinking about this makes regret not asking for their contact information sooner."
This sentence was evidently said by a girl, but she didn't know the two handso guys she talked about were right in the front row of the crowd.
Hearing this, Zhao Guo'an felt imnse satisfaction inside, gratefully contemplating how good deeds are rewarded, and now he even had so fans.
"Just laugh if you want, holding it in like that feels awkward," Lu Yao couldn't help but say.
Zhao Guo'an coughed twice and modestly replied, "Actually, it's just a trivial matter, a re lift of a finger."
Though he said this, the joy and gratification were still impossible to hide in his eyes.
The little girl also said, "Though your expression is quite annoying, in this matter, you indeed did well."
"Definitely, we've never done anything unremarkable." Rarely praised by the little girl, Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but feel proud.
Yet, there's a saying, happiness often brings trouble...
Soone said, "I was present in the morning and recorded a video, but I always felt there was soone familiar among those two. Lao Feng, co have a look."
The man known as Lao Feng stroked his beard, took the phone, and after watching it, slapped his leg and pointed at the screen showing Zhao Guo'an, saying, "It's him! This guy was trending a few days ago for lying naked on top of a bus. Honestly, his little butt, tut tut, really white..."
"You can say it, but why drool?" The person beside snatched the phone back, looking at the bearded man disdainfully.
...
Everyone looked at Zhao Guo'an, seeing all the joy and gratification disappear from his eyes, replaced with deep embarrassnt and anger.
"Damn it!" Zhao Guo'an's face flushed red with anger, protesting, "What kind of world is this, doing good and being ridiculed, is there any justice left?"
Everyone sympathetically looked at him, while Xiao Feng reminded, "Speak louder, soon no one will watch the acrobatics..."
The implication being, if the crowd knew Zhao Guo'an was the one who exposed the pharmacy and also the guy on the bus, they'd surely whip out their phones to photograph him frantically.
At that point, Zhao Guo'an's journey wouldn't be ntioned, and the acrobat troupe would be deeply bothered.
Twice the performance scene snatched within a day, and not by fellow perforrs stealing the show, is it feasible to continue existing?
"The performance starts now," Lin Jiaxuan broke the silence, easing the awkwardness.
While Zhao Guo'an wished he could find a hole to hide in because everyone seed to look at him with strange eyes, possibly pointing at him and shouting next, "Look, isn't this the guy lying naked on the bus roof the other day?"
This feeling was truly described as constant tornt.
Yet, just as Zhao Guo'an felt compelled to leave early, a creature under the container platform not far away caught his attention...
