Chapter 31: The Only Second Place
With a click, Xu Xian opened the door and entered the house. didn't wait to take off his shoes, the first thing he saw was Xu Xian's mother who heard the sound of the door opening and greeted her. A gentle middle-aged woman with a smile on her face and a very temperamental face.
Seeing Xu Xian, Xu Xian's mother took her bag and said softly: "I'm back." β
Xu Xian saluted first: "Oh Mom." β
Xu Xian's mother looked disgusted: "It's still so rigid, can't you order casually at home?" β
Xu Xian curled the corners of his mouth and smiled without speaking, Xu Xian's mother had no choice but to put her schoolbag aside and handed Xu Xian slippers: "I thought you could change your temperament by going to be a trainee, but you still practice like this after so many years." β
Xu Xian smiled disappreciably, obviously because of this, he had been nagged too many times.
Casually smoothing his long hair behind his ears, Xu Xian asked, "Isn't Abba at home?" β
Xu Xian's mother nodded and came over with the chopped haode fruit: "He has dinner with friends tonight, and it is estimated that he will come back later." β
Xu Xian nodded, eating the fruit.
Xu Xian's mother stepped forward and hugged Xu Xian: "Have you been tired lately?" β
Xu Xian took a small bite of the apple: "It's really a little busy." And it's going to be a training camp soon, and tomorrow we will have a day off, and our members will be free to move around after the practice. The day after tomorrow officially begins. β
Xu Xian's mother smiled: "Listen to the people in your company, you are about to make your debut." I saw you and Yuna on TV the other day. β
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and his expression was puzzled: "Oh, does Mom also watch "Infinite Challenge"?" β
Xu Xian's mother shook her head: "I don't know what the program is, I can see you at random glance." However, the footage that appeared was so short, it was still filmed at school. β
Xu Xian was silent for a while, then stood up with a smile: "Oh Mom, I'll go take a shower first." β
Xu Xian's mother nodded: "Go, I'll cook." β
Xu Xian stood up and carried his bag. I went into my room. Put the bag down. Go to the closet and get a change of clothes and a bath towel ready to take a shower. Just looking at the bookshelf on the side, Xu Xian suddenly stopped and stepped forward in a daze.
Very ordinary bedroom, with a girlish rather than girlish vibe. What is the difference between a teenage girl and a girl? It's in this little word. Lots of cartoon dolls of military frogs. On top of that, there's a row of books that fill the shelves in front of the desk.
All kinds of books, self-development, chicken soup for the soul. There are also those written by celebrities, you name it. Even almost every book has a bookmark, which shows that they have really read it, not an ornament. But Xu Xian's eyes were obviously not on these books, but on the top of the bookshelf, with trophies and certificates.
"1st Prize in Seoul Sprout Cup Piano Competition", "1st Prize in Seoul Cheongdam High School Piano Competition", "1st Prize in Seoul Mengjie Cup Piano Competition", "1st Prize in Seoul Juanmyung Elementary School Piano Competition" ......
There are about a dozen trophies of all kinds placed there, although it is not a large-scale competition, but it also reflects Xu Xian's excellence and talent in piano. 's mother was a piano teacher, and Xu Xian's temperament was more or less influenced by the piano. It's been so demure since I was a child. This kind of temperament is also in line with the atmosphere of playing the piano.
The corners of the mouth curled. Fingers ran over the trophies and certificates one by one, only to suddenly shudder and stop at one in the corner of Zuihou. It seems to have fallen dust. "Second Place in the Seoul Children's Piano Competition", with clear words and transparent trophies, but what made Xu Xian pay the most attention was the two words. From beginning to end, the dozen or so trophies that have been watched one by one, regardless of the size of the event, are the first place. This one is the second.
After a moment of distraction, Xu Xian took the trophy over, and there was an old photo behind it. There are more than 30 children under the age of ten in the photo, among which the one sitting on the left and the other on the right side of the award judge in the center is a cute but quiet little girl. The other is a boy who doesn't even smile, but looks prettier than himself.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening sounded, which startled Xu Xian.
Xu Xian's mother walked in and saw Xu Xian sitting there, and stepped forward in confusion: "Didn't you say taking a bath?" Why are you still here? β
Xu Xian shook his head, Xu Xian's mother sat next to her, saw Xu Xian holding the trophy in his hand, looked at it, and hugged Xu Xian with a smile: "It's been so long, do you still care about this?" β
Xu Xian smiled and bowed his head: "No." β
Xu Xian's mother sighed: "It's a pity. But that's normal. After all, Oh Mom is just an ordinary piano teacher, and there are so many children in the city, you can get the second good. β
Xu Xian looked up at his mother: "Oh, Mom, do you remember what happened at that time?" It's been almost ten years, right? β
Xu Xian's mother laughed and touched Xu Xian's still baby fat cheek affectionately: "Why don't you remember." From the competition to the award, from the beginning to the end, Wuli Joo-hyun seems to be very calm and casual. Perhaps it was this temperament that infected the judges and added a lot of impression points for you to win the second place. As a result, I was thinking that I should not comfort you for not winning first place, and as soon as I brought you home, you suddenly burst into tears. No matter how you coax it, you can't coax it. It was the only time I cried since I was a child, and it scared me and your dad so much that we almost had to take you to the hospital. β
Xu Xian smiled embarrassedly: "How can it be so exaggerated as what my mother said?" As if I cared too much. β
Xu Xian's mother shook her head: "You still say you don't care?" After that, you practice the piano hard, and when you see the competition, you sign up for it, and try to compete with Yujian, the kid who won the first place, and compete with him again...... That's him. β
Xu Xian's mother frowned and took the photo, and looked at the little boy sitting on the other side of the award presenter in the middle: "You look so beautiful, and your piano level is not a grade better than yours." Obviously professionally trained. I just don't like to laugh, and I feel more rigid than your personality. Judging by the temperament and manners, it should not be the children of ordinary people. β
Xu Xian bit his lip, and suddenly flashed in his mind the scene where the boy and he met for the first time that day, and the roasted sweet potatoes that were indeed very sweet later, and couldn't help but look strange: "Maybe it's different now." β
Suddenly, Xu Xian's mother next to her pushed her, Xu Xian came back to his senses and turned his head, looking at his frowning mother suspiciously: "What's wrong, Mom?" β
Xu Xian's mother shook her head: "What about you, why are you distracted?" β
Xu Xian hurriedly saluted: "I'm sorry, Mom, what do you want to ask?" β
Xu Xian's mother was stunned for a moment, and pulled her chin with tears and laughter: "Really, whose daughter are you?" Your father and I are not so rigid, but we gave birth to you like this. β
Xu Xian pursed his lips and smiled, and Xu Xian's mother took the photo: "I'm asking you, this child named Wen Yanyou, have you seen it later?" Why did you just say that maybe it's different now? β
Xu Xian paused, shook his head and looked at her: "Oh, how does Mom know his name?" β
Xu Xian's mother smiled and flipped over the back of the photo: "Isn't this all written?" First place: Moon Yeon-woo. At that time, the children who participated in the competition took a group photo together. As a result, you got it wrong with him. β
Xu Xian was silent for a while, and said with some hesitation: "I seem to have seen the same name, but the personality is ...... Not quite quite so. β
Xu Xian's mother asked, "Did you also see it in the piano competition?" β
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xian's mother frowned and denied: "That's not right." After you become a trainee, you rarely participate in piano competitions. That's ......"
Xu Xian's mother clapped her hands: "That's a trainee, right?" He was also a trainee, and you touched him, right? β
Xu Xian didn't speak, but suddenly turned his head in confusion: "Oh, why does Mom care so much?" β
Laughing, Xu Xian put the trophy back in its place, took the photo handed by his mother, looked at the photo, and put it aside: "Actually, after so many years, I have long forgotten what happened when I was a child." β
Xu Xian's mother shook her head and stood up with a smile, and pushed Xu Xian into the bathroom: "If you forget, take a bath and eat." But I know that your temperament, on the surface, is gentle and demure, but in fact you are very competitive in your bones. Especially with so many first-place trophies there, the second-place trophy is even more conspicuous. β
The moment Xu Xian closed the door, he suddenly spoke: "Actually...... Maybe it's him. β
After speaking, he closed the door, leaving Xu Xian's mother stunned. Ban Xiang smiled, sighed and walked out of Xu Xian's bedroom. It doesn't matter if it's not true, it's just a little thing when I was a kid anyway. Even if her daughter still cares, Seo Hyun's mother believes that there is a vast sea of people, and Seoul has a population of more than 10 million. Which is so easy to come across?
But if you do encounter it, it may also be beneficial. In fact, Xu Xian has not had such a character since he was a child, but since he met that child, he lost to him and became the second place in the piano competition. The innocent and lively Xu Xian is gone. Some are just daughters who don't like to talk now, are rigid and more honest. Xu Xian's mother, Weishenme, cares so much about a strange boy because she doesn't know if her daughter is affected by that time.
A child's mind is fragile and changeable. To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, which is an old saying of the big country opposite. She doesn't want her daughter to always have such a personality, and it would be nice to change it a little. I've tried it for so many years, but she and her husband can't do it, so I'm afraid ...... It's up to her, or someone else.
