Chapter 292: Old Master Ji

Mu Jingzhe heard the laughter and came out with a pair of suspenders in her hand. When she saw Shao Xi laughing so happily, she quickly stopped him. “Keep it down. It’s a little late now. Many people are asleep.”

Only then did Shao Qihai react and quickly stop. Shao Xi hurriedly covered his mouth.

Shao Qihai wanted to say something, but Xiao Wu had already run over. “Mommy, are my clothes ready?”

“Right, try them on. If they don’t fit, we can alter them again.”

Mu Jingzhe handed the suspenders and the pants to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was very independent now and could totally put them on himself.

He quickly came out after changing. Shao Xi and Shao Qihai surrounded Xiao Wu and looked at him. “They look good.”

“That’s right, they look really nice.” Mu Jingzhe tied the little bow tie around Xiao Wu’s neck, making him look even more gentlemanly.

“You little gentleman.”

Xiao Wu was good-looking, soft, and adorable. In combination with his curly hair, he looked good no matter how one looked at him. “Our Xiao Wu will definitely be the most good-looking one at the music festival tomorrow.”

This was also the first time the children’s music festival in Ocean City was being held. Ji Buwang signed up on Xiao Wu’s behalf. This was Xiao Wu’s first official performance, and he was afraid that Xiao Wu would be nervous. Parents or teachers could also perform with the child.

The other children were all accompanied by their parents. Shao Qihai also wanted to go, but he really didn’t have such a talent and had no idea how to go about doing it. Mu Jingzhe wasn’t cut out for it either, so Ji Buwang was the one performing with Xiao Wu.

However, this would mainly be Xiao Wu’s performance, and Ji Buwang was willing to play a supporting role.

The next day, they had originally planned to watch Xiao Wu’s performance together. Little Bei hadn’t rested a day since she’d arrived. They had agreed to rest for a day, but after dawn, they received a notice from the director that they couldn’t rest today because it had been forecasted that it would rain. It would be a good time to film a rain scene.

Natural rain was undoubtedly better than artificial rain.

Since the director had informed them and the entire crew was waiting, Little Bei naturally had to go. Shao Qihai looked at the troubled Mu Jingzhe and then at Xiao Wu, who was looking at Mu Jingzhe reluctantly.

“I’ll go with Little Bei to film. You guys go ahead.” Little Bei couldn’t go without an adult, so Shao Qihai could only make a choice.

Although Little Bei was very reluctant, she didn’t say anything. Her mother had been with her for so many days. It was time for her to accompany Xiao Wu. She grabbed Shao Qihai’s hand and said, “Xiao Wu, you can do it. Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll do a good job. I’ll be fine with Daddy.”

Even though their destination was different, they went out together. Coincidentally, at that moment, Ji Buwang came to pick them up.

Upon seeing Ji Buwang get out of the car, not only Shao Qihai and the others, but even the people nearby couldn’t help but slow down what they were doing, as they suddenly felt like they had entered a movie scene.

The good-looking Ji Buwang looked completely different today. He was wearing a specially tailored outfit made by Mu Jingzhe, which was very similar to what Xiao Wu was wearing.

Mu Jingzhe’s first meeting with Ji Buwang had left quite an impression on her, so when Ji Buwang had said that he had ordered the custom-made outfit to perform on stage with Xiao Wu, her first reaction had been to make him suspenders with the trousers.

It happened to be summer, so she made him something similar to what she had made for Xiao Wu.

The outfit consisted of a white shirt paired with suspenders and pants. In combination with his curly hair, he exuded an elegant, cultured air. When he got out of the car, he looked like the protagonist of a movie walking out of the big screen.

Both men and women, old and young, looked over at the same time and lowered their voices, afraid that they would disturb this wonderful moment.

Shao Qihai’s pupils trembled. Little Bei couldn’t help but mutter, “How gorgeous.” Mu Jingzhe was also a little stunned. While she’d been working overtime to make this dress, she had hoped to add luster to Ji Buwang, but the effect was really amazing.

After Ji Buwang got out of the car, he smiled at Mu Jingzhe. Satisfied with her dazed look, he coolly crossed the front of the car and opened the other door. “Please.”

Mu Jingzhe came back to her senses. “Oh, oh, okay. Didn’t we agree that we would go over by ourselves today? Why are you here?”

“Of course I had to come.” This was something that had to be done. Ji Buwang looked at Shao Qihai, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Mu Jingzhe quickly explained, “Little Bei and Shao Qihai can’t go today. The director informed us that it will rain and she needs to film.”

“That’s too bad.” Ji Buwang sighed with emotion, but his expression said otherwise.

Ji Buwang felt that the heavens were helping him, so he smiled even more brilliantly, attracting the attention of the people in the alley.

When Mu Jingzhe got in the car, Ji Buwang picked up Xiao Wu. “Our little gentleman is really good-looking today.”

After carrying Xiao Wu into the car, Ji Buwang patted Shao Xi’s shoulder. “Little Xi, you’ve grown taller again. Get in the car quickly.”

After closing the car door, Ji Buwang walked up to Shao Qihai. However, he didn’t look at him but at Little Bei. “Little Bei, let’s go together next time, alright?”

“Alright.” Little Bei looked at Ji Buwang and was very easy to talk to. “Uncle Ji, if you were acting, many people would definitely like it.”

“Is Little Bei praising me?”

“Mm.” Little Bei nodded.

“How obedient.” Ji Buwang stroked Little Bei’s head and looked up at Shao Qihai. “I’ll take good care of Jingzhe and the rest. Don’t worry.”

There seemed to be nothing wrong with his words, but Shao Qihai felt that there was a double meaning behind them.

While watching Ji Buwang drive away coolly, Shao Qihai couldn’t help but say, “I’ll definitely look good in the formal wear Jingzhe made as well. I definitely won’t be inferior to Ji Buwang.”

Little Bei nodded in encouragement. “Mm, Daddy, you have to believe in yourself.”

Shao Qihai recalled what Little Bei had just muttered and stroked her head before squatting down. “Let’s go. Daddy will carry you over.”

“No need. I can walk by myself.”

“It’s okay. I’ll carry you for a short while.”

Shao Qihai carried Little Bei to the set. Mu Jingzhe and the others quickly arrived at the music festival. As the name suggested, the Children’s Music Festival was mainly composed of children, so there were many children and parents there.

Most of the people who came were holding their own musical instruments, big and small. Some were wearing little dresses and suits, while others were wearing costumes.

Ji Buwang led Xiao Wu backstage to prepare. They also had to report that they were in attendance. Because there were too many people, other than the performers, the others weren’t allowed to go backstage. Hence, Mu Jingzhe first took Shao Xi to find a seat.

Because Mu Jingzhe and the others had arrived quite early and found seats early, they sat in the front row. However, those who came later were in trouble. At first, there were still seats, but later on, there weren’t even any seats left. They could only squeeze in the back and watch.

The later one arrived, the further away one would have to stand. Besides, there was no live broadcast, so they could only see the outline.

Mu Jingzhe looked at the dense crowd behind her and felt glad that she had come early. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to see the stage and it would have been difficult to take photos.

Because there were many people there, the festival hadn’t started yet. It was noisy, and Ji Buwang was ready backstage. When he brought Xiao Wu to see where Mu Jingzhe was, it was the noisiest time.

There were people everywhere, but Ji Buwang saw only one clear face—Mu Jingzhe’s—in the crowd at first glance.

This really felt awesome. It didn’t seem scary on stage anymore.

“Jingzhe, Jingzhe!” There were too many people, and Ji Buwang couldn’t pass through. He could only shout loudly, but luckily, Mu Jingzhe quickly heard him.

“It’s fine backstage. Xiao Wu and I drew lots and will be the eighth contestant to appear. Just wait and see.”

“Okay.” Mu Jingzhe stood up and clenched her fists. “You guys can do it. Xiao Wu, you can do it.”

“Okay.” Ji Buwang was afraid that someone would step on Xiao Wu, so he quickly carried Xiao Wu backstage.

Mu Jingzhe sat down and didn’t notice the crowd behind her. An old man was looking at her.

“Old Master Ji, you didn’t hear wrong. This is Miss Jingzhe.”
