Watching the dark green figure completely disappear at the backstage door, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart, and the joy of being able to participate in the competition was now gone. But I didn't have time to feel sad, so I hurriedly turned around and looked for the staff member who had just spoken to the principal. It was a big sister in her early twenties, with long hair with bangs hanging down to her waist, and exquisite makeup, but she still couldn't cover a little freckles on her nose. The eldest sister stood beside me, flipped through the workbook in her hand, squatted down and asked with a smile: "Little friend, your name is Sun Yiqing, right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "My name is Zhou Miao, Sun Yiqing is my sister, she is sick, I will participate in the competition for her." ”

I saw the eldest sister cross out Yiqing's name in the workbook, and add my name at the end, and when I wrote it, I deliberately reminded her that it was three water Miao. I noticed that my eldest sister's eyelashes were so long, like a model with particularly beautiful eyes in a pictorial magazine, so I flattered and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful." ”

The eldest sister smiled crookedly, pulled the tiger ear on my head and said, "You are also very cute!" ”

After that, I followed my eldest sister wherever she went, clinging to her like a little tail. Seeing this, several male colleagues who were with the big sister quipped, "Yo! The children are so old. ”

The eldest sister blushed and explained to the male colleagues: "This child is here to compete, and the director of their kindergarten has something to do temporarily, so he asked me to take care of it." ”

Those male colleagues still didn't let go of the big sister, and asked gossiping, whose child is it? When is it time to drink the wedding sake?

At this time, a man in a white shirt walked over with a blank face, and those male colleagues scattered like mice seeing cats. The eldest sister's face was even redder than before, like a ripe apple, and she lowered her head and said, "Director Bai." ”

The eldest sister said the previous explanation again, and the man was still expressionless, and said coldly: "You said you, do your best to take care of things, hey!" After saying that, he shook his head and left.

The eldest sister rubbed her hot cheeks with both hands, raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes revealed an indescribable emotion. After a while, the eldest sister squatted down and pointed to the sofa against the wall and said, "Zhou Miao, do you think this is good?" You go over there and rest first, and when it's your turn to go on stage, my sister will call you. ”

I nodded sensibly.

The big sister patted my tiger on the head and said, "That's good." ”

I don't know if it was because it was too hot, or if someone else's sofa was too comfortable, so I fell asleep while I sat down. By the time my big sister shook my shoulders and woke me up, I was already sleeping so much that saliva was flowing from the corners of my mouth, and I walked on stage in a blur.

Walking to the center of the stage, I instinctively looked at my big sister behind the curtain on the side of the stage, and she shouted at me with a triumphant gesture: "Come on!" ”

There weren't many people in the audience that day, and when the cheerful gongs and drums sounded, I danced from the bottom of my heart, with a bright and real expression on my face, as if I was the only one in the huge theater. Maybe it's because I haven't woken up yet, and I feel like I'm singing and dancing in a dream, and I don't feel like I'm having enough fun when the music ends. As for the stage effects, I learned many years later, bordering on madness.

In the award ceremony, I won third place. At that time, I didn't know it, in fact, except for the first place, there was one, the second place was ten, and the rest were third. I stood on the podium in third place, and I was very excited compared to the other children who also finished third. Even the manager who handed me a certificate of merit and handed me a box of oral liquid thought it was strange that this kid was having some kind of fun.

After the awards, the organizer invited all the children to the stage to take promotional photos. I was standing on the second row of the platform, right behind the little girl who won first place. The little girl wore a white princess dress with an equally white pair of wings on her back. Out of curiosity, I reached out and touched the little wings that were dangling in front of me, soft, really made of feathers. The little girl noticed that someone had moved her wings, and slowly turned around. I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my hand and grinned at her, revealing two rows of little white teeth. The little girl smiled in return, and two small dimples suddenly bloomed on her face, revealing small pointed tiger teeth.

When I got off the stage, my big sister took the initiative to find me and sat on the sofa with me waiting for the principal of our kindergarten. I don't know how long it has been, but the organizer's event props have been collected, and the director has not yet appeared. Since the door of the performance hall was to be locked, the eldest sister pulled me out of the Children's Palace together. We went to a nearby cold drink shop and bought two cones and headed back to the stone steps of the Children's Palace. The big sister was next to me, and two people, one big and one small, sat on the stone steps licking the cone. The cone in my hand is mango-flavored, and the big sister is chocolate-flavored in my hand.

Several vans were parked by the fountain pool, advertisements for oral liquid were plastered on the body, and the male colleagues who had joked about the big sister were moving things to the car, and the man in the white shirt stood by and directed.

The big sister's gaze never left the man in the white shirt, as if that person was sweeter than the cone in her hand. Suddenly, my big sister bumped me on the shoulder and asked, "Eh! Do you say he's handsome? ”

I didn't know what handsome was at the time, but I just knew that when I watched "Saint Seiya", every time Seiya broke out in the small universe, Yiqing exclaimed, so handsome! So I think the standard of handsomeness is to look like Seiya. I carefully looked at the man in the white shirt in the distance for a moment, except for two thick eyebrows that looked like Seiya, nothing else. Just two eyebrows can determine whether a person is handsome or not, and an honest child can't do it. So I changed the subject and asked, "Sister, are you two?" ”

The eldest sister was so shocked that she almost choked on the cone, coughed dryly, pinched my little face lightly and said, "You little ghost!" Immediately, the big sister's face showed a faint joy of happiness.

The big sister told me some little secrets between him and the man in the white shirt. He secretly gave her roses, she quietly followed him to the door of the house, he used his power to fire the male colleague who harassed her, and she worked overtime until dawn in the company for him alone. There were a lot of things I didn't understand at the time, why I didn't let the other party know when I cared, just like I didn't know why my big sister told me this.

When I grew up, I traveled with a wandering monk, and along the way, I seized the opportunity to tell people about the lack of virtue I had done since I was a child. And the great monk always listened carefully to my confession, and finally concluded with a sentence of Amitabha. At this time, I realized that the more we meet, the more I can rest assured to confide the secrets in my heart, because from now on, those secrets will also go with the wind.

After about a quarter of an hour, everything was loaded into the van, and the man in the white shirt walked towards us and stood in front of the big sister. The white-shirted man's face was no longer as cold as before, and his eyebrows and eyes were stretched and his voice said softly: "Nuan Nuan, hasn't the principal come to pick up this child yet?" ”

It turns out that the eldest sister is called Nuan Nuan, a nice name. Many years later, there was a Nuan Nuan series of games on my phone, and I felt that the heroine in the game was like the big sister in my memory.

The eldest sister stood up and was not as restrained as before, shook her head and said, "Bai Xu, do you have an address book for the participating kindergartens?" Why don't you give them a call and ask them to come and pick it up. I don't feel comfortable leaving the children here alone. ”

The man in the white shirt took out a folder and a straight mobile phone with an antenna from his briefcase, then handed the briefcase to the big sister, and opened the folder himself to dial the number on it. The man in the white shirt walked away on the phone, his face regained its coldness and sternness, and when he walked back, his face was infinitely gentle.

The man in the white shirt took the briefcase handed back by his eldest sister and said with a beautiful curvature on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, the director has promised to come and pick up the children immediately." We will have a summary meeting when we return to the company, and we should go. ”

The eldest sister looked at the van parked by the fountain pool, and the people inside were already smoking impatiently. The eldest sister took out twenty yuan from her purse, bowed down and stuffed the money into my hand, and said, "Sister has something to do, you have to be careful." If your principal never comes to pick you up, you will take a taxi home. ”

After my big sister left, I stared at the fountain pool, and suddenly realized that the rainbow I saw when I came in was gone, and I changed several angles and still couldn't find the rainbow. So he lowered his head depressedly, and the pattern of the marble floor tiles under his feet was like a cloud, and like a slowly flowing water. My heart has long been freed from the shackles of my body with irregular lines. The little theater that belonged to me was staged again, and the brave little monkey once again waved the stick in his hand and set out on the journey. Only this time, the little monkey did not return with a complete victory, although he still won in the end, but the body was bruised.
