Chapter 10: The Little Prince in the Shadows
During the summer vacation when Wei Ze is away, Wei Si and Wei Xiao have more time to spend alone. When the two were eating, Wei Yan didn't say a word.
Zhang Lanlan thought that her son was depressed because Wei Ze went to Australia, and proposed to enroll him in a summer camp, Wei Yan immediately refused without thinking about it, Wei Si listened very carefully to his discussion of summer vacation activities, and when she looked up, she looked at Wei Ting's eyes that fell on her, and she clearly saw that Wei Yan's white and tender ears slowly turned red.
Weis couldn't help but laugh.
This embarrassment caused Wei Mian to not eat with Wei Si for several days.
Weisi finished breakfast one day and had to go back to his room. She usually spends the day outside her room only when she eats, and when the weather is sweltering, she feels full after eating a little bread, and she takes that carton of milk and plans to take it back and drink it when she is hungry. When she went upstairs, she heard Sister-in-law Zhang muttering: "Why hasn't Xiao Fan gone downstairs to eat much in the past few days, I don't know if I'm sick." β
Wei Silen paused for a moment, remembering the reddened micro at the dinner table two days ago, and wondering if Wei Qi had a fever, she was startled by this idea at the staircase on the second floor, and walked lightly to a room on the south side of the second floor, plucked up the courage to knock on the door.
No one opened the door, but there was a sound, Weisi couldn't hear what the people inside were saying, and he suspected that Weiqi was sick, and Weisi also had a cold some time ago, and the whole person felt no strength, and his throat was dry and sore.
The more Wei Si stood at the door, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Yan must have a cold, so he couldn't eat. She left the carton of milk in her hand at the door.
Wei Si originally thought that Wei Yan would soon go out to participate in summer camps or travel. However, unexpectedly, this summer vacation in the fifth grade, Wei Yan was at home from beginning to end.
His cousin Li Mingyan was sent to a nominal summer camp by Zhang Min, but the actual tour group consumed his exuberant energy, and Gu Zihan also followed his father to Decheng for a vacation.
The two children are at home, but they are quiet. made Zhang Lanlan wonder if Weisi's speech disorder was contagious, because Wei Wei also began to speak less.
Weisi is actually even more inexplicable than her, once she was reading a book in her room, and when she heard a knock on the door and opened, there would be a box of ice cream at the door, Weisi knew that it was Weixiao, his footsteps were soft, and the sound of knocking on the door was also soft.
Weisi rarely eats this, although there are many under the refrigerator of Wei's house, all kinds, she often sees Gu Zihan holding such a small cup, watching TV and eating at the same time.
She scraped the ice cream with a small spoon and put it in her mouth, the cold ice cream melted as soon as she took a sip, the thick chocolate flavor was a little bitter, Weis read the English book "Little Prince" given to her by Whitney, the book also had colorful illustrations, she ate ice cream while reading the book, and thought that ice cream was the best in the world.
In the sixth-grade art festival, Weisi's class rehearsed the program "Sleeping Beauty", and Weisi played the princess without lines.
Whitney changed her into a white princess dress, the first time Wes had worn a princess dress with puff sleeves, her long black hair coiled into a ball, and a silver plastic crown on it.
βPaloma.β Whitney called her English name, which she chosen, which means little pigeon, "Youare beautiful, likearealprincess."
There are fairy tale performances in every class in the sixth grade, such as "The Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs", which let students play cute little animals, and "Snow White", which is a bit dreamy and romantic.
The two classes used some sets together, and even some of the clothes were in the same prop room.
To be precise, Wes is playing the princess's B role, which she thinks is basically equivalent to a living prop, but Whitney wants her to be involved.
After changing his clothes, Weisi consciously left the crowded dressing room, sat on a small stool outside the theater waiting room, and read the script casually.
"Huh......" A sweet voice sounded in her ears: "Do you also play the princess?"
Gu Zihan walked up to her and sat down, she was wearing a light blue princess dress, which was very different from the satin gauze skirt on Weisi's body, her skirt was decorated with a lot of sparkling rhinestones, the upper body was denser, and the dotted rhinestones on the skirt were like the brilliance of the stars shaking. The style is also not the usual puff sleeves of princess dresses, but a sleeveless dress with a translucent cape on top of it, and the skirt naturally forms a beautiful curve, underneath it is white stockings and a pair of white leather shoes embellished with bows.
"Aunt Zhang gave it to me, is it good-looking?" Gu Zihan saw that Wei Si was looking at her clothes, and showed her generously: "I like it so much." β
Weiss nodded, indicating that her clothes were really good.
"Can you play a princess if you can't speak?" Gu Zihan looked at the script in Wei Si's hand, "Doesn't Sleeping Beauty have lines? Or do you want to use sign language?"
Wei Si wanted to explain to her that he was just a sleeping beauty lying on the bed, but Gu Zihan suddenly raised his voice: "Will the prince kiss you?"
Weisi hurriedly waved his hand, but found that Weixiao was leaning against them not far away, he was wearing a white tuxedo, but the bottom of his pants was tied up, and there was a budding rose in his breast pocket.
It's just that in the shadows, Weisi can't see Wei Yan's face clearly.
At a glance, he is the two protagonists of the next class.
"You've changed your clothes. Gu Zihan stood up, she ran to Wei Mian with the hem of her skirt, Wei Mian lowered her head and whispered something that Wei Si couldn't hear, the princess held the prince's arm, Wei Si saw Wei Mian also took off the flower pinned to her chest and handed it to Gu Zihan.
Weisi continued to look through his script, thinking that if he was the teacher of their class, he would choose it this way, which was a good match. When she looked down, she saw the satin puff-sleeved performance costume on her body, although it was dull by Gu Zihan's dress, but when Wei Si thought that Whitney chose this performance costume for her, in order to make her more confident, he told her: "The girls who wear this performance costume are all brave princesses." β
The princess puts on her plastic crown, and Weiss enters the arena in Act IV, where she lies there waiting for the prince to kiss her from a centuries-old dream.
After the curtain was pulled back open, Weisi lay on the bed with her eyes closed, in fact, her eyelashes were trembling when this prop was still nervous.
The prince's last kiss was actually a borrowing, and Weisi, who had closed his eyes the whole time, couldn't remember the prince's appearance at all, and for some reason, his mind was full of the little boy in the tuxedo in the shadows just now and the budding red rose on his chest.
