Chapter 20: Sudden Accidents
Qiao Yang hid outside the door and watched these two little cubs for a long time, almost jumping in a hurry, couldn't help but open the door, pulled Qiao Xia behind him, guarded Xiao Shuo like a wolf, blew his beard and asked with a glare: "Where did you come from, Qiao Xia's classmate?" Qiao Xia's classmates, I have never seen you like this, are you playing hooligan to my family Qiao Xia, let me tell you don't think that you look like a handsome foreign guy The face of a girl in the world can be soaked casually, can you compare to me with your little skills?"
Originally, Qiao Yang wanted to educate the teenager in front of him as a parent, but he never wanted to expose his true nature.
The young man looked at Qiao Yang with some flashes in his eyes, pulled Qiao Yang as if he was forcibly pulling the relationship, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, you are the father Qiao Xia is looking for when he returns to China, uncle is good, uncle is good, I am Qiao Xia's classmate abroad, my life is called Kevin, my Chinese name is Xiao Shuo, tonight's bitter 'Xiao', flashing 'Shuo'."
Although Xiao Shuo introduced his name wrongly, he just likes to introduce himself like this, and it is very nice just to listen to these two words.
Qiao Yang was confused by Xiao Shuo, and when he heard that it was Qiao Xia's American classmate, he quickly clapped his hands in a sudden realization, and judged the two of them with the aggressive parents before: "American classmate, is it, I still said, why do you look like a foreigner and speak standard Mandarin."
Xiao Shuo explained with a false alarm: "My mother is Chinese, my father is American, and my Chinese was taught to me by my mother."
Hearing this, Qiao Yang suddenly felt that Xiao Shuo's species was much taller: "half-breed".
Saying together, he invited Xiao Shuo and Qiao Xia into the house, and pulled Xiao Shuo to sit on the sofa, Qiao Xia originally asked with surprise: "Dad, why did you come back so early."
When Qiao Yang heard this, his temperament quickly changed greatly, he became serious, patted the coffee table and said, "I'm coming back so early, of course I have to rest well for tomorrow's performance." Do you see that I'm usually late to bring a little boy back?"
Saying and pointing the finger at Xiao Shuo beside him, Xiao Shuo looked at Qiao Yang's uncertain expression, waved his hand again and again and pretended to be innocent and said: "You are wrong, uncle, Qiao Xia and I are both innocent, we didn't do anything deviant, I just took her hand."
"That's it", Qiao Yang was shocked, Qiao Xia covered his face, and the more he talked, the more he was subjected.
If you want Qiao Xia to say that she is also the most conservative of the girls he has ever seen, it is extremely impossible to hold hands with a boy, how could another American classmate come to China specifically, one thing is certain, Qiao Xia and Xiao Shuo are definitely not ordinary classmates.
Qiao Yang looked carefully at the boy who was not like a good boy who did his homework honestly, he was always a little bohemian and chic, which was a bit similar to Qiao Yang back then, but it didn't mean that it would be okay to be like, Qiao Yang was not a good student back then, so Xiao Shuo, this kid, should be guarded against.
Xiao Shuo couldn't figure out that Qiao Yang was already wary of himself, and he looked for the words left by Qiao Yang before and asked: "Uncle, you have a performance tomorrow, I heard Qiao Xia's mother say that you are a drama actor, right, I also have research on Chinese dramas and foreign stage plays."
Qiao Yang was really attracted to attention, and hurriedly sat down with him and explained: "Then you must come to watch my drama tomorrow, I play the male protagonist in your foreign masterpiece "Jane Eyre" - Mr. Rochester... ”
Even Qiao Xia felt that Qiao Yang and Xiao Shuo's chat skills were not ordinary, they could talk about China for 5,000 years from the stage play, and they could jump to the origin of species and the difference between men and women from this rolling history.
In the end, the two gradually became brothers from their original suspicions, and when they parted, Qiao Xia sat on the sofa and put on an indifferent face at the two neuropaths who said goodbye at the door, Qiao Yang replied to Qiao Xia's indifference: It's rude that he didn't even come to send his classmates away.
But he turned his face and was about to send Xiao Shuo, but he saw Xiao Shuo clenching his fists, posing as a martial arts friend about to part, and said proudly: "Brother Qiao, little brother, I will take a step first, if it is useful for the little brother in the future, the little brother will not hesitate even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire."
Watching Xiao Shuo play happily, Qiao Yang also cooperated with him, holding his hand with emotion, and said deeply: "Brother Xian's words are serious, on the way home, it must be difficult, and Brother Xian must be triumphant."
The two of them gave each other a 'um' to take care of each other, and turned their heads to go their separate ways.
Qiao Yang closed the door, and looked at Qiao Xia who was sitting on the sofa, and commented on Xiao Shuo unsatisfactorily: "Eh, this kid is quite funny."
Qiao Xia nodded casually, and said another thing to Qiao Yang seriously: "Dad, my uncle is going back to China, you said that I should go back secretly to prevent him from finding out, or stay here and wait for him to confess."
Qiao Xia's uncle, it seems that he has never heard the terrible thing about these two words from Qiao Xia's mouth, he almost forgot that he also has a brother-in-law who hates him, Su Xianan can't give Qiao Yang any good face, this brother-in-law has a cold face since he was with Su Man, even if Su Man smiled at Qiao Yang, he still made a straight face as if he hadn't heard it, even Qiao Yang suspected that Qiao Xia's indifferent face and offending mouth were all learned from her uncle.
Qiao Yang was also gradually a little afraid of Su Xianan, but he couldn't say it in front of Qiao Xia, so Qiao Yang pretended to be indifferent: "What are you going back for, how hard it is, you stay to watch me perform, your uncle wants to come and I can't ask for it, just do your best to invite him to dinner, it's okay, let him come."
After saying this, Qiao Xia's heart was put down, but who knew that Qiao Yang's heart was instantly raised, he wiped the sweat on his palm, and asked: "Qiao Xia, is your uncle in the United States and industry, or the CEO of some group, doing transnational."
Qiao Xia nodded naturally when she heard this, then this is even worse, I didn't expect that the cold boy before would become today's domineering president, Qiao Yang felt that this Su Xianan was not easy to deal with, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the sweat on his hands flowed more.
The next day's performance is about to start, all the people outside the venue are here, the audience is almost full, and the director is counting with a walkie-talkie: one, two, three. The curtain was slowly opened, Qiao Yang stood in the background, his heart was even more in his throat, and he was so nervous that he forgot what to say when he appeared on the stage.
He obviously remembered that he was about to vomit, how could he forget it at a critical moment, and slapped his brain a few times Hoping to burst out of inspiration, he saw a cold hand, slowly holding Qiao Yang's restless arm, giving him a little stability, Qiao Yang looked up at the owner of this hand.
It was Chen Qiuyan, the deputy head of the regiment, she smiled generously, looked at Qiao Yang with beautiful eyes, and quietly told him to be calm, Qiao Yang took a few deep breaths, his heart eased, and waited for when he would play.
At this time, 'Jane Eyre' had already taken a good look with Mrs. Housekeeper, and after watching the dance of Miss Adele, Rochester's adopted daughter, everything should be sent upstairs to the 'room' according to the process.
It was a wooden shelf that the props team had spent a few days building up, and Jane Eyre's room was simply built with four wooden shelves, and it was extremely unstable underneath, and when Jane Eyre sat down, her heart was still pounding, because the partition below was still shaking.
A spotlight shone on that 'room', and it was dark all around, and 'Jane Eyre' sat sideways like a pictorial, and after nearly half a minute, another spotlight came on next to that 'room', reminiscing about Jane Eyre's childhood.
Qiao Yang fixed his eyes and looked at it carefully, this was not Huang Shixuan, and hurriedly looked at Chen Qiuyan next to him, and Chen Qiuyan had recommended not to replace Huang Shiyan, because she had already mastered the skills of the performance As soon as she came on stage, she would definitely surprise the audience.
But Chen Qiuyan responded to him with an innocent face: "Shiyun, I suddenly felt unwell today, and my stomach hurt and I was nauseous, so I found a replacement, as if everyone took it for granted, and naturally I didn't tell you."
Qiao Yang really admires Huang Shiyun's character of dropping the chain at an important moment, and the performance has started to come to the eldest aunt.
I had to continue to watch the performance, but at this moment, what Huang Shiyun cares about, it is important to care about myself first.
But at this moment, the wooden board 'creaked', and 'Jane Eyre', who was sitting on the chair on the 'second floor', fell alive as the wooden board broke, and fell straight on the hard cement wrench.
Everyone stepped forward for a while, Qiao Yang was the first to bear the brunt of the actor and wanted to rush to the hospital, someone called an ambulance, and the audience caused a commotion, the performance was forced to stop, the injured actor was sent to the hospital, Qiao Yang took the initiative to get into the ambulance with Chen Qiuyan and began to take care of the injured.
Qiao Yang didn't know if his head was still conscious at that time, but when he saw that the injured person was big, he didn't care whether this was an important performance for him, and waited for the doctor's diagnosis to come down and confirm that it was okay before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
His head never turned, and when Chen Qiuyan, who was anxious for him at the beginning, saw Qiao Yang finally realize that today's performance was in vain, he also cried for Qiao Yang, Qiao An brought Chu Ran Qiao Xia, and several of Qiao Xia's friends over, what they originally wanted to see was a drama, but they didn't expect it to become a farce.
They looked at Qiao Yang and lowered his head slightly, his face was complicated by any expression, and everyone realized that they didn't seem to say a word, Qiao Xia squatted down slightly, covered Qiao Yang's hand, and shouted as if he didn't have anything: "Dad."
Qiao Yang seemed to sense something, and hurriedly raised his head, but instead threw a sentence at Qiao An: "Did the old man come to see", because he left the hospital that day, he silently wrote down and asked Chen Qiuyan for a first-class ticket in the first row, regardless of whether his father came or not, he kept the ticket.
Qiao An shook her head helplessly, Qiao Yang sneered, it's okay if you don't come, otherwise you will have a heart attack.
Qiao Yang looked at Chen Qiuyan, this drama caused such a result, in addition to Qiao Yang, who was the most traumatic, there was also Chen Qiuyan, she worked hard for this performance. Qiao Yang didn't talk about being sad and floated on the surface, and first comforted Chen Qiuyan.
He patted Chen Qiuyan on the shoulder heavily, squeezing out a hippie smiley face: "Deputy Head Chen saved a sum of money for this treat, isn't it a good deal."
Chen Qiuyan didn't take her good luck to heart, but she always cared about Qiao Yang, and when she heard that Qiao Yang was still sunny and cheerful and persuaded herself, she quickly squeezed out a smile, as if she was being amused by him.
Qiao Yang looked at Chen Qiuyan and smiled, and knew that Chen Qiuyan must be fine, so he took Qiao Xia's hand next to him and said to her: "The wounded are still a lot of trouble for Deputy Regiment Commander Chen, I will take my daughter to kill a fish for dinner so that I can make fish soup for her."
Chen Qiuyan nodded and let them go first. She looked at Qiao Yang's figure surrounded by a group of people, and she was still indignant about this stage accident in her heart, thinking about making up another one for him.
