45: Chapter 45: A Concerted Piece 45: Chapter 45: A Concerted Piece Inside the bedroom.

Xiao Fei finished changing the babies’ diapers.

Seeing that it was almost time, he carried the three babies out one by one.

At this moment, Yu Gaoshan, who was discussing something with Zhang Henshui in the living room, saw the three angelic babies and immediately showed an expression of fondness.

The older people get, the more they tend to like children.

Having reached the age of seventy, Yu Gaoshan had absolutely no resistance to children.

“Are these your three babies?”

“They are just as adorable as they are in the videos; no wonder so many people love them.”

Yu Gaoshan looked at the three delicately beautiful little ones and asked, unable to hold back.

Xiao Fei nodded.

He placed the three babies on the couch, one by one.

Yu Gaoshan and Zhang Henshui immediately leaned closer, wanting to touch the three cute little ones, but the babies avoided them.

They were quite shy.

Especially Er Bao, who, upon seeing two strangers approaching, immediately pouted and prepared to burst into tears.

Seeing this, the two elders who originally wanted to hold the children gave up the idea.

While Xiao Fei fed the babies milk, he chuckled and replied, “The babies are indeed very lovable.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken leave to stay home and care for them full-time.”

“You quit your job?”

“Uh… not quit.

I’m still a college student.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Gaoshan and Zhang Henshui were momentarily stunned.

The two exchanged glances and gave a bitter smile.

“You’re still in college?”

“Doesn’t this… affect your studies?”

Watching Xiao Fei adeptly feeding the babies, Zhang Henshui asked curiously.

“Not at all.”

Xiao Fei shook his head and said, “I’m good at self-study.

Even if I don’t attend classes, I can complete my coursework.”

Recalling how Xiao Fei mastered such exceptional skills on the Guqin merely through self-study, the two elders didn’t press further.

After all, it would be pointless to argue.

“Ahem, well, that makes sense.”

Yu Gaoshan coughed lightly and continued, “Xiao Fei… uh, may I address you like that?”

“Of course.”

“Alright then, Xiao Fei, the main reason we came today is to invite you to join the folk music association.

What do you think?”

Xiao Fei asked readily, “Does joining the association affect my ability to care for the babies?”

“No, it won’t.”

Yu Gaoshan shook his head and said, “Although the folk music association has an official background, the management is very relaxed.

There aren’t constant meetings or research trips.”

After hearing this, Xiao Fei hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

“Alright, I can join.”

Seeing Xiao Fei agree, Yu Gaoshan seized the opportunity and continued, “Xiao Fei, there’s actually one more thing I’d like to ask of you.”

“Go ahead.”

Xiao Fei waved his hand casually.

“Here’s the thing.

Would you be willing to join me in performing at this year’s New Year Festival?”

“The New Year Festival hosted on Bilibili?”

“Yes!”

Yu Gaoshan looked at Xiao Fei with eager anticipation.

“Nowadays, young people love using Bilibili.”

“That’s why I created an account on that platform—to interact with more young people and promote folk music culture.”

“Unfortunately, I’m just an old man who can’t keep up with younger trends.”

“If you’re willing to join me in performing at the New Year Festival, Xiao Fei, I believe more young people will start to appreciate and even love folk music, contributing to its preservation and passing down.”

As he spoke, Yu Gaoshan grasped Xiao Fei’s arms, his expression growing more animated.

“But…”

“The New Year Festival is live-streamed, isn’t it?”

Xiao Fei smiled and shook his head, declining, “I’m sorry, Elder Yu.

Over the New Year’s holiday, I’d prefer to stay with my family and children instead of participating in a program.”

“It’s not live-streamed!”

Yu Gaoshan’s words left Xiao Fei stunned.

“Though it appears as a live broadcast,”

“it’s actually pre-recorded.”

“So when the New Year comes, you can stay home with your family and children, watching the festival celebration on television.”

Yu Gaoshan continued persuading.

“Hmm…”

“If that’s the case, then I have no objections.”

Xiao Fei, speaking, lowered his gaze to the three babies on the couch.

Someday, when the babies grow up and start using Bilibili,

seeing that their dad once participated in the New Year Festival might make them feel immense pride.

Seeing Xiao Fei agree, Yu Gaoshan was overjoyed.

He couldn’t help but itch to take action.

“Xiao Fei, this time, I came prepared.”

“I even brought a Pipa.

How about we perform a duet?”

Xiao Fei chuckled and nodded, “Sure.

But since it’s a duet, why not let Senior Zhang join in as well?”

“Of course, I’d love to join.”

“But do you have another instrument here?”

Xiao Fei smiled mysteriously and led Yu Gaoshan and Zhang Henshui to his study.

Inside, it was filled with all kinds of folk musical instruments.

The sight left the two elders speechless.

“Are all these yours?”

“Yes… I can play all of them.

But I only have one of each.

So if Senior Zhang chooses the Guqin, I’ll pick something else.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Gaoshan and Zhang Henshui were even more shell-shocked.

Even Yu Gaoshan wouldn’t dare claim he could play every folk instrument—only most of them.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fei, being so young, could master them all.

It was simply astonishing!

In the end…

Yu Gaoshan chose his Pipa, Zhang Henshui selected Xiao Fei’s Guqin,

and Xiao Fei picked a flute.

Before the performance began, Yu Gaoshan took out his phone, placing it on the TV cabinet to film the trio.

Such a fantastic opportunity could not be missed—it had to be recorded.

Soon after…

The three of them sat in the living room and began their performance.

Yu Gaoshan’s Pipa playing was filled with an ancient and rustic charm.

Zhang Henshui’s Guqin melodies felt spiritual, carrying an otherworldly air.

Xiao Fei’s flute notes were melodic and ethereal, embodying an effortless, carefree aura that soothed the listener’s soul.

When the song ended,

Yu Gaoshan sent the recorded video to his granddaughter, Yu Peipei.

He asked her to edit the video and post it on Bilibili to promote folk music.

“Young friend, once the video is edited,”

“I’d like to upload it as a collaborative work with you.

Is that alright?”

Yu Gaoshan asked with a smile.

“No problem…”

“But honestly, instead of myself, I’d prefer for my babies to gain more fans.”

After all, with an increase in their fan count, the system would grant rewards.

After the performance, both Yu Gaoshan and Zhang Henshui bid farewell.

Xiao Fei stayed home, continuing to care for the babies while waiting for Tang Yuxin’s return.
