I did not expect him to ask me, "Is there something wrong?"

The teacher told me that he is He Xubei, the piano prince of the Experimental Primary School

The boy playing the piano received the grand prize, and his performance was a piano solo

I slowly turned my head, fearing that I might have mistaken the person, and even more afraid that he no longer resembled the image in my memory

I saw a boy in a white suit in the audience, who stopped the teacher backstage, then glanced at me and said, "There is a piano on stage, and I can play it"

Moreover, who would deliberately remember a cat with a crying face

At the city's elementary school talent competition gala, a few little girls and I performed a folk dance. Just halfway through the performance, there was an issue with the accompaniment, and the lead teacher hurried to find a new track, while the host asked us girls to step down first.

I have been repeating that name, fearing that I might forget it, until the day I reported to Y. While filling out the information at the registration desk, I heard a voice say, "Teacher, my name is He Xubei, may I ask which classroom I am assigned to?"

In Tianjin, a city that is neither too big nor too small, what is the probability of encountering a person?

Even now, I can still recall his appearance on stage; the entire stage was his world. Although he was merely a little boy of seven or eight years old, he exuded the demeanor of a world-class pianist.

I would like to go up and greet him, and I want to ask if he still remembers the girl who danced the folk dance

Covering my wildly beating heart, I carried the newly acquired textbook to the classroom, only to see He Xubei sitting at a desk, reading a book. His profile, illuminated against the light, was instantly reflected in my eyes

At that moment, a crisp voice shouted: "Wait a moment!"

In fact, I met He Xubei a long time ago, when he was still a boy as delicate as white porcelain

He told the teacher that he could accompany the piece I dance to on the piano, and he assured that the effect would not be inferior

I thought it would be a story of a long-awaited reunion, but to my surprise, he didn't recognize me at all

I saw a familiar face, and even after nearly nine years, I could recognize that aura at a glance. However, I did not dare to ask him directly. After he filled out the form and left, I took the opportunity to sneak a look at the student information sheet while the teacher was not paying attention, and indeed it was him, the boy who accompanied me on the piano.

I thought we were not allowed to perform anymore. You must understand that I had prepared for this performance for a long time, just to win a prize to please my father. We had only completed half of the performance when they forced us to leave the stage. I got into an argument with the host, crying and shouting that I wanted to finish. At that moment, there were also city leaders sitting in the audience, and the teachers were worried about the negative impact, so they forcibly carried me off the stage.

He Xubei? Is he the one who plays the piano?

At that moment, I, who was crying like a little kitten, immediately broke into a smile. To the music flowing from his fingertips, I completed the entire dance, and in the end, my partners and I won the second prize
