To Xi Xi, winning the dance competition was the prize that made her the happiest. It was not the praise from her friends like Lan Xin and Yu Xiaowei, or the adults like Yang Huan, Guo Ziyi, or sister Ding Xiang. It was also not the additional four gold coins that she could exchange for a doll or save for a trip to the amusement park. Instead, it was the small trophy that represented more than its value!
That's right, this small trophy was not worth much at all!
It was not like the crystal or bronze trophies that Murphy and Yang Yi had received. It was a trophy given to a child by the school, so the material would naturally not be of such high quality. Yang Yi guessed that it was probably made of some kind of lighter alloy!
Holding it in his hand, it felt as light as a piece of paper. It felt so unreal that it felt like it would break if he dropped it.
Moreover, the workmanship was average. Although the color was not faded, the color was not very balanced. The engravings were also not very neat, which made Yang Yi feel a little uncomfortable looking at it.
But Xi Xi treated it like a treasure. On the way home from school, she held it in her hands happily.
When they reached home, Xi Xi asked her mother to open the display cabinet where Yang Yi and Murphy's trophies were kept. This cabinet was placed in Yang Yi's study room. The reason why she called her mother and not her father was because Yang Yi was busy preparing dinner.
After the cabinet was opened, the young girl handed over her trophy and asked her mother to place it in the cabinet. She also wanted to place it in the middle of the cabinet, between her father's and her mother's trophies. She stood on a stool and looked at it for a long time before she nodded in satisfaction!
However, when everyone was watching China's Voice together at night, Xi Xi could not sit still for long after the video call ended. She asked her father to bring her trophy over.
With the trophy placed on the cabinet, it was only left with the function of displaying it. How could Xi Xi hold herself back? She had not had enough fun yet!
So, while Yang Yi and Mo Fei were sitting on the sofa watching TV, chatting and laughing while pointing at the performances of the students on the camera, the little girl was holding her small trophy and playing with it happily on the carpet.
Although the trophy was made of ordinary material, it was still gold in color, which suited the Chinese aesthetic. Xi Xi looked at it over and over again, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it!
Tong Tong did not care at first, as he preferred his robot toy that could twist and turn. But after playing with it for a while, the little guy felt bored and turned to look for his sister. His gaze landed on the shiny trophy in his sister's hands!
What was that? It seemed quite fresh!
Tong stuck and crawled towards his sister on all fours. the distance was too short, there was no need for him to walk.
Xixi was holding her trophy when a chubby little hand suddenly reached out and pressed on it. She turned her head in confusion, and her little brother's curious face appeared in her line of sight.
Tong Tong seemed to be embarrassed. When he saw that his sister had noticed his little action, he retracted his hand and grinned with a few teeth. "Hehe!"
Xi Xi was more generous. Seeing that Tong Tong seemed to be very interested in her trophy, she generously handed it to him and said, "Do you want to see it?"
It was a simple question, so even if Tong Tong did not fully understand it, he could still guess what it meant. When he saw that his sister had taken the initiative to hand it to him, he happily waved his little hands and said in a confused voice, "Yes, yes!"
The conversation between the two little guys attracted Murphy's attention. She stretched out her hand and tugged at Yang Yi's sleeve to let him see the interaction between the siblings.
After Tong Tong received his sister's trophy, he curiously held it in his hands and examined it carefully.
However, unlike Xi Xi, who carefully examined the trophy, Tong Tong did not know how to hold it firmly. At first, he held the trophy with both hands and flipped it over. Then, his hands slipped and the trophy fell onto the carpet.
"You dropped it!" Xi Xi looked distressed and anxious. She first grumbled softly before she hurriedly grabbed the trophy to check it. She only handed it back to Tong Tong after she confirmed that it was not damaged.
After Tong Tong saw that his sister had taken the trophy, he crawled over and placed his little hands on his sister's legs.
This time, Xi Xi paid more attention and guided Tong Tong on how to hold the trophy.
However, Tong Tong was not interested in the trophy. He did not pay attention to the engravings around the trophy or the words engraved on the base. Instead, he was curious about the big mouth of the trophy.
It was a small trophy that was not even as big as Yang Yi's fist. As long as he held it in his hand, he would be able to see it clearly. However, Tong Tong did not want to look at it normally. He held the trophy up and moved it closer to his face!
In the end, he covered his eyes with the trophy!
Moreover, he did not cover only one of his eyes!
Tong Tong was insatiable. He wanted to look at the trophy with both of his eyes, so he covered his glabella and only revealed half of his eyes!
"Hehe, little brother, why are you so funny?" Xi Xi was amused by Tong Tong's actions. She did not stop him and giggled.
Tong Tong seemed to be encouraged. He hugged the trophy and covered his mouth with it as if he was drinking water. He even let out a muffled laugh.
Xi Xi was also interested. She reached out her hand and asked Tong Tong for the trophy. "Give it to me too!"
Tong Tong did not want to return the trophy to his sister at first. However, when he saw his sister smiling at him happily, he was influenced by her and handed the trophy back to her.
Then, Yang Yi and Murphy saw Xi Xi copy Tong Tong. She hugged the trophy and covered her mouth with the mouth of the trophy.
"Mmm!" Xi Xi made muffled sounds.
Tong Tong opened his mouth slightly and stared at his sister without blinking.
Xi Xi realized that she could not speak if she covered her mouth too tightly. She moved her mouth slightly so that the little girl's muffled voice could be heard. "Little brother, can you hear me?"
Her voice was completely different from Xi Xi's. Of course, the rhythm of her voice was similar.
Tong Tong stared blankly for a while before he realized that his sister was talking. He seemed to be slow for a few seconds. Then, he suddenly became happy and started dancing with joy. He was really dancing with joy. He even kicked his little feet. What kind of magic did his sister have to make him so happy?
"You too!" Xi Xi excitedly stuffed her trophy into her little brother's hand.
Tong Tong wanted to change the way he played, but Xi Xi did not agree. She urged him to cover his mouth with the trophy as she spoke.
"Mmm! Mmm!" Tong Tong did not know what to say. He mumbled a few times and put down the trophy.
Yang Yi and Mo Fei found it funny and inexplicable at the same time. These two little guys really couldn't understand their thoughts at all. At this moment, the siblings looked at each other again and let out a string of bell-like laughter.
At least they were having fun, right?
