Seeing Xi Xi's sad expression, Murphy took Tong Tong from Yang Yi's arms so that Yang Yi could free up his hands to comfort Xi Xi.
Yang Yi first pulled away Xi Xi's hands from his waist (The previous chapter said that Xi Xi hugged the thighs because Yang Yi didn't think about it, and it had been revised according to the suggestions of the readers). He squatted down and put his big hands on both sides of Xi Xi's body, half-hugging the little girl.
Xi Xi pursed her little mouth and was so sad that she didn't want to say anything. After her father squatted down, she took a step forward, hugged her father's neck, and buried her little head in it.
"Why are you so sad? Do you think you didn't dance well? "Yang Yi asked softly.
Xi Xi gently raised her head and looked into her father's eyes. She blinked her big teary eyes hard, and two sparkling teardrops suddenly fell from her long eyelashes. Then, she nodded sadly.
"What? Dad thinks you danced very well! " Yang Yi smiled and said, "Look, after you finished dancing, didn't many teachers and students stand up and applaud you?"
Teacher Xia Suqing smiled bitterly. She had actually used this to comfort Xi Xi just now, but the effect was not obvious.
Sure enough, the little girl still found it difficult to let go. She lowered her little head unhappily and whispered, "I didn't dance right. I stopped. It was so ugly …"
"No, no, it's just a small mistake. In fact, your performance was very good!" Yang Yi said softly, "Whether it was the front or the back, Dad thinks you danced very well. Although there was a small problem, no one can deny your efforts before! Mom also liked your dance very much, right? "
Mo Fei chimed in, "Yes, Mom and Dad are watching from below. Do you know that everyone around you is praising you? Those parents all wish that you were their child!"
Xi Xi looked at her mother with some surprise.
"Yes, our teacher was watching backstage and said that you danced very well. This time, you definitely won't have a problem winning the award!" Xia Suqing quickly said.
Xi Xi blinked. Now that there were no tears falling, the little girl's mood seemed to have stabilized a little.
However, Yang Yi did not intend to educate his child like this.
He pulled Xi Xi to the side, found a stool, and let her sit down, while Yang Yi squatted down.
Although Yang Yi could also sit, he still wanted to talk to Xi Xi on the same level. He didn't want Xi to feel that he was high above her.
"Let's not talk about the small mistake just now, okay? Don't you think you danced better than before? "Yang Yi asked Xixi with a smile.
Xi Xi's little mouth was still pouting, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently.
In fact, she also didn't dare to nod. Because although she felt that she danced well, with the psychological barrier just now, the little girl was a little uncertain.
"Dad told you, your dance is much better than before when you were training!" Yang Yi said softly, "Otherwise, when Mom and Dad saw you, why were they so happy? Right? "
Xi Xi's pouting little mouth gradually returned to normal. The little girl's eyes turned, and it seemed that her mood had improved. She whispered, "Really?"
"Yes, it's true. You know that Dad will never coax you. If you do well, it's good. If you do badly, Dad won't make you happy, right?" Yang Yi smiled.
Xi Xi's eyes revealed a trace of a happy smile, but she didn't laugh out loud. That small mistake just now caused the whole dance to be flawed, and the little girl was still brooding about it.
But she was just a little tangled in her heart, and her mood had returned to normal.
Xi Xi found that her father was squatting, and it was very difficult for him. She cutely stretched out her two hands, hugged one of her father's big hands, and pulled and said, "Papa, you also sit down!"
"It's okay, Dad still has one more thing to tell you." Yang Yi patted the little girl's little hand and continued to ask, "What do you think is the purpose of our competition?"
"It is, it is a competition, and then we have to win …" This question was a little profound for Xi Xi. The little girl thought for a while and then said.
"Yes, we are here to participate in the competition, but our purpose of participating in the competition is not necessarily to win." Yang Yi tidied Xi Xi's hair and said, "Although we are here to compete, it is best to defeat the opponent and get the reward. But if we can't get the reward, we can't say that our participation in the competition is meaningless. Dad doesn't want you to put too much emphasis on the concept of winning and losing. "
"Why?" Xi Xi asked in confusion.
"Because our life is very long, winning or losing once doesn't mean that you will win or lose in the future. Just like the tortoise and the hare, do you still remember the story of the tortoise and the hare that Dad told you?" Yang Yi said.
"Yes, the little tortoise runs slowly, while the little hare runs fast. But when the little hare falls asleep, the little tortoise wins the competition!" Xi Xi became interested and said a lot of things.
"Yes, for the same reason, if you win the first prize now, it doesn't mean that you can continue to win the first prize in the future. It just means that you, like the little hare, have a faster speed than the little tortoise. But you still need to continue to work hard to be in the lead, otherwise, the little tortoise will catch up with you!" Yang Yi said.
"But I haven't won the prize yet!" Xi Xi was a little confused.
"No matter whether you win the prize or not, think about it, today you danced so much better than you did in the training, isn't that a reward? Also, you made a small mistake on the stage, now you realize your mistake and practice better in the future. Next time, if you have the chance to participate in a competition or a performance, you won't make any mistakes. Isn't that also a reward? " Yang Yi said with a smile, "That's why Dad said that the main purpose of us participating in the competition is not to win the prize, but to train ourselves and make progress in the competition."
Xi Xi blinked her eyes and looked at her father, as if she didn't fully understand. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded her head.
Yang Yi knew that Xi Xi still didn't fully understand, but it didn't matter. A lot of principles were explained in advance, and then Xi Xi would subtly digest them in the process of growing up.
"Dad, I still want to win the prize!" Holding her father's hand, when they returned to her mother's side, Xi Xi whispered to her father, "Because, because if I win the prize, I can have more gold coins!"
"What do you want so many gold coins for? You bought a lot of dolls. "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"Hee hee, because, because I still have to go to Lu Weisha's house to play! I need a lot of gold coins to go there! "Xi Xi innocently replied.
"Then let's fight for the prize. Dad thinks that you still have a high chance of winning the prize, because you dance better than other children!"
"Hee hee!" In any case, Xi Xi's mood became better again.
… …
Usually, the judges' scores would only be calculated after two performances.
While Yang Yi and his family were waiting backstage, Ding Xiang suddenly came over. She took out her phone and found Yang Yi, "Brother Yang, Manager Yun has an urgent matter to talk to you about!"
Yang Yi's phone had been switched off after entering the small hall to prevent it from affecting Xi Xi's performance. Yun Yangfeng probably couldn't get through to Yang Yi's phone, so he went to look for Mo Xiaojuan. Mo Xiaojuan had gone on a business trip to receive the prize for Murphy, so she asked Yun Yangfeng to look for Ding Xiang. After many layers of communication, Yang Yi was finally able to get through.
However, was Yun Yangfeng not busy with China's Voice's Peak Night in the capital? Why was he looking for Yang Yi in such a hurry? Could something have happened?
