Chapter 1107: Chapter 1104: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (65)

Bai Lu felt a bit lost, "Actually, it’s not that I really like it, it’s just that I saw a play at school once and was moved to tears by the live tension and emotional impact of the theater actors. But after that, I never watched a play again."

"If you like it, why didn’t you go see it again afterward?"

Yan Xu was a bit thirsty, so he took two bottles of water out of his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and handed one to Bai Lu, then unscrewed another one for himself to drink.

Bai Lu also felt thirsty, took the water and had a couple of sips, licked her lips, and muttered, "That soup just now was too salty..."

Yan Xu teased her, "I could barely stand the saltiness of the noodles alone, and you actually drank the soup too."

Bai Lu felt a little wronged, "I usually finish the soup when I eat noodles, who would have guessed it would be so salty."

Yan Xu was speechless, "Sister, the soup from those outside noodle shops isn’t exactly essence of broth, you should stop drinking it from now on, okay?"

This time it was Bai Lu’s turn to be speechless. Weren’t they talking about plays? How did it turn to noodle soup?

After reminding her, Yan Xu brought the topic back, "Were you too busy to watch plays afterward?"

Bai Lu didn’t know what to say, "Yes and no, actually, if I really liked it very much, I would make time to see it no matter how busy I was, mainly, I didn’t like it that much, and then, none of my colleagues or friends shared the same interest, gradually I just forgot about this hobby."

Yan Xu nodded in understanding, "Anyway, I still have to rest for a while, so I’ll keep an eye out for any good plays coming up, and we can go together when the time comes."

Yan Xu wasn’t asking a question with his suggestion, he was stating it.

But Bai Lu didn’t find it overbearing, instead, she nodded happily, "Okay."

The two chatted sporadically until the stage lights dimmed, and then they stopped talking to wait for the concert to start.

The first strains of "Hungarian Dance No. 5" filled the air, and a bright spotlight suddenly illuminated the center of the stage, where the stunningly beautiful Sihan was dressed in a long white gown, playing the violin with one hand while drawing the bow with the other, as graceful and lively notes sprang forth from her instrument.

Bai Lu held her breath and listened attentively, as the delightful melodies of one piece after another echoed and swirled around the theatre, making her feel as if she were in a brilliantly colorful fairy-tale world.

The concert that lasted for over an hour seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye.

As the final piece concluded, the audience erupted into sustained applause, and the emotionally-charged Bai Lu clapped vigorously along with everyone else.

When the stage lights came back on, Sihan, who had already left the stage, returned for an encore. After the piece finished, applause rose again, but the stage lights did not come back on this time.

It was only as the applause from the audience started to fade that Bai Lu remembered the flowers she had specifically bought were still lying on her lap, not having been given out.

She nudged Yan Xu with her elbow and smiled awkwardly, "I forgot about the flowers!"

Yan Xu comforted her, "It’s okay, we are going to meet Sihan backstage anyway, you can give them to her then."

Saying that, he reached for her wrist, "Let’s go, before everyone leaves."

Bai Lu quickly stood up, clutching the bouquet to her chest as she and Yan Xu hurried past the stage, through the corridor beside it, and found the room marked with a dressing room badge, then knocked on the door.

When the door opened, Yan Xu politely asked the person who answered, "Hello, may I ask if Aunt Sihan is here?"

The lady who opened the door, a woman in her fifties, smiled upon seeing Yan Xu and Bai Lu. Her face, originally expressionless, brightened up, "This handsome young man, you must be the Yan family’s young master, right?"

Having spent most of his recent years at Jun Camp, Yan Xu had rarely participated in the socializing of the upper-class circles, so for this lady to recognize him, the only possibility was that she was someone very close to Sihan, someone who had likely seen him at gatherings hosted by his or the Ji family.

"Auntie, may I know who you are?"

"I’m Tian Fang, your Aunt Sihan’s manager. I’ve seen you before at Ji family gatherings. Come in, Sihan is removing her makeup. Wait a moment, you two."

Tian Fang sidestepped to let the two in, motioning for them to sit down on the sofa.

"Aunt Fang, this is my friend Bai Lu."

Tian Fang looked at Bai Lu with a warm smile, "Hmm, I know, Beibei has mentioned you to me, said you and the Zong Family Miss came to see the concert. I was the one who sent out the tickets."

Yan Xu quickly expressed his gratitude.

The three chatted for a while when the door to the private room opened, and Sihan, who had changed into a simple dress and removed her makeup, looking refreshed, walked out.

Yan Xu and Bai Lu stood up, and Yan Xu said, "Aunt Sihan, the performance was marvelous and a huge success, congratulations to you!"

Bai Lu presented a large bouquet to Sihan, "Aunt Sihan, the performance was absolutely fantastic, congratulations to you!"

Sihan accepted the bouquet with a warm smile, reaching out to pinch her cheek, "In the blink of an eye, you’ve all grown up!"

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, "Yes, we’ve all grown up, but Aunt Sihan, you still look so young and beautiful!"

Ji Sihan indeed took very good care of herself; she appeared in her thirties even though she was over forty years old.

"Xiao Lizi, you still have such a sweet mouth just like before. You must be hungry by now, Auntie will take you out for dinner."

Tian Fang chimed in from the side, "Sihan heard you two were coming to watch her perform, so she specifically rescheduled all her engagements and interviews."

Bai Lu felt somewhat embarrassed, "Aunt Sihan, I’m really sorry for the trouble."

Sihan glared at Tian Fang, "What trouble? There have been two consecutive nights of concerts, and an interview tomorrow night will be just the same. As for the invitations, the organizers are all old friends, no problem there. But I haven’t seen you and the baby boy for so long. It’s rare to see you, so of course, we should have a good chat."

Yan Xu waited for the two beauties to finish talking before taking his turn.

"Aunt Sihan, I have reserved a room at Mingxuan, and the dishes are all ready. Since it’s not far from here, why don’t we go to Mingxuan?"

Sihan, apparently hungry and not wanting the hassle, readily agreed.

Yan Xu added, "I’ve reserved two rooms. Should your staff also join us?"

With Yan Xu being so considerate, it naturally pleased everyone.

Once at Mingxuan, Yan Xu, Bai Lu, Sihan, and Tian Fang took one room while the seven or eight accompanying staff members were in another.

Yan Xu had the manager prepare the dishes in advance, so after sitting down for only a short while, soup and dishes were served one after another.

Sihan, despite being an elder, had no airs about her. Hearing Bai Lu talk about wanting to learn an instrument as a child, she said, "If you like it, it’s not too late to start now. It enriches the soul and can be a form of leisure and relaxation. There’s nothing bad about it."

Bai Lu was somewhat tempted, but her time was mostly consumed by work and research projects, making it difficult to squeeze in time to learn an instrument.

"Never mind, my work is really busy, I’ll think about it later."

Sihan nodded, "Hmm, while you’re still young, you should really push hard at work."

The conversation flowed smoothly among them, and they enjoyed a harmonious dinner.

After the meal, Bai Lu and Yan Xu waited for Sihan and the others to get into their car and leave before Bai Lu drove back to the Yan Family.
