Standing in the center of the stage, Chu Nanxi's lips curled into a light smile.
The scar on her face did not detract from the girl's bright and soaring spirit; in that moment, she was the protagonist of the entire venue.
Wen Shining stood in a corner of the stage, her smile almost cracking with jealousy.
It wasn't until a staff member gently nudged her arm that Wen Shining realized she was supposed to return to the stage to play with the orchestra.
After the performance had concluded, everyone gathered in the VIP lounge of the troupe to attend a tea party.
The staff brought out a cake, and all of Wen Xian's students and friends sang a birthday song for the elderly man, creating a lively atmosphere.
As Wen Shining was distributing the cake, Li Hannian took the initiative to walk over with Chu Nanxi and presented the prepared gift to Wen Xian.
"Please accept this humble gift, and may you live as long as the southern mountains," they wished the teacher.
