House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 343: An Unexpected Twist And A Display Of Extraordinary Talent

Xixi was a bit unhappy!

At first, she was happy. When her mother came out, Xixi shook her glowstick enthusiastically, full of joy, looking forward to her mother seeing her.

However, Mo Fei didn’t even glance at the audience below. How could Xixi know that Mo Fei was at her most focused when singing and didn’t have the habit of looking around?

“Papa, Mama can’t see Xixi!” Xixi watched as her mother was talking to someone on the stage, feeling a bit jealous. The little girl finally couldn’t bear it, turned her head with a grievance, and complained.

If Mama couldn’t see herself, where’s the surprise?

“It’s okay, we can go to the hotel later to find Mama!” Yang Yi comforted in a low voice, “There are so many people here now, even if she sees Xixi, she can’t immediately greet Xixi!”

Yang Yi brought his daughter to the concert simply to see Mo Fei’s performance on stage and listen to her singing. His original plan was to wait for Mo Fei to return to the hotel where she was staying and then take Xixi to knock on her door, giving Mo Fei a surprise.

After knowing which hotel Mo Fei was staying at in the morning, he had already left the initially arranged temporary hotel with Xixi. Then, he booked the presidential suite at the Four Seasons Hotel and used some tricks from his previous life to steal Mo Fei’s room number from the front desk.

All the plans went smoothly. He even hoped that Mo Fei wouldn’t discover him and Xixi at the concert so that the planned surprise could be implemented.

Imagine Yang Yi knocking on Mo Fei’s door, holding Xixi in his arms, and a bouquet of flowers. He would then deliberately lower his voice and say, “Hello, you have a delivery!”

Delivering Xixi as a package, how fun would that be!

However, now he has to appease Xixi, who is eager to be “recognized” by her mother.

“But, but…” Xixi didn’t know what to say and things were not going as she had thought. The little girl felt wronged.

“Alright, alright, we shouldn’t make it too difficult for your mother, right? There are more than 40,000 people in the audience, and it’s dark under the stage. It’s really difficult for your mother to spot you.” Yang Yi said, “But Papa promises you that you will definitely be able to see Mama tonight!”

“Then you have to pinky promise me, no cheating!” Xixi pouted. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she still extended her little finger and chose to forgive.

“Okay, okay!” Yang Yi made a pinky promise with his daughter and said with a suppressed laugh, “Pinky promise, breaking it is a Xiao Guai.”

Because the performance on stage hadn’t started yet, Yang Yi whispered in Xixi’s ear. The little girl immediately heard the problem, and she giggled and said, “It’s not Xiao Guai, it’s breaking it is a little dog!” ¹

After appeasing his daughter, Yang Yi thought to himself, “There shouldn’t be any problems now, right?”

When he looked up, ready to continue watching the concert, his eyes met with Mo Fei on stage.

That’s right!

They met!

Half a minute ago, Mo Fei had just finished communicating with Chen Yijie. Then while fiddling with her earpiece, she walked to the position they had agreed upon in the afternoon. The two of them had to keep a certain distance between them to show the impression of a distant duet.

But coincidentally, perhaps because of a strong connection, Mo Fei inexplicably glanced at the audience. With a mother’s intuition, her gaze fell directly on Xixi who was sitting on her father’s lap with her back facing the stage and talking to her father!

In this vast sea of people, it was difficult for Mo Fei to recognize Yang Yi. But for some reason, perhaps because she was her mother? When Mo Fei saw Xixi’s back, she immediately recognized her as her own daughter!

This was just a subconscious reaction. She was stunned for a moment, thinking she had seen it wrong, but as her gaze lifted, she saw Yang Yi pinky promising with their daughter.

With Yang Yi’s face in full view, how could Mo Fei not recognize him?

Is it really Yang Yi and Xixi? Aren’t they in Jiangcheng? How did they appear here?

Mo Fei still somewhat couldn’t believe it. She rubbed her eyes, but there was no mistake. Just then, Yang Yi also looked up and their gazes met. Seeing Yang Yi’s expression, she could now confirm her judgment!

Then, Mo Fei saw Yang Yi smiling wryly as he turned Xixi around in his arms. The little girl, upon meeting her eyes, happily shook her glow stick. The excited and cute look made Mo Fei couldn’t help but feel happy in her heart.

“Ah, this guy!” Mo Fei secretly scolded Yang Yi playfully.

She could probably guess Yang Yi’s intention.

But now was not the right time for greetings. She had been standing there for almost half a minute. If she lingered any longer, she might be noticed for acting strangely. If others followed her gaze and found Xixi, it could be troublesome!

Mo Fei turned around and walked toward her position while making a six gesture with her hand behind her back.

“6”? What did it mean?

Was it like how Sun Wukong learned arts from Patriarch Bodhi in “Journey to the West”? Making a six gesture, was it to ask Yang Yi and Xixi to go find her at six in the morning?

Or did it mean “666”?²

Of course not, only Yang Yi understood. He knew at a glance that Mo Fei wanted him to call her later!

“Mama saw me! Hee hee, I knew Mama would be able to see me!” The little girl was still immersed in the joy of being noticed.

Yang Yi smiled wryly and rubbed the little girl’s head. He was still regretting the failure of his plan.

“Papa, don’t you think it’s super amazing? Mama is super awesome!” Xixi turned her head and asked excitedly.

“As long as you’re happy…” Yang Yi shrugged and smiled slightly.

Fortunately, the music on stage started again. Mo Fei and Chen Yijie were about to start singing a duet. Xixi also focused on watching. Only then was Yang Yi relieved.

After the gentle prelude, Mo Fei started singing: “My head got wet, can’t avoid it…”

Huh? The audience below all widened their eyes.

Even though Chen Yijie had already set the expectations for the audience, Mo Fei’s skillful Cantonese singing style, which was no worse than that of a pure Hong Kong singer, really gave them a surprise.

Moreover, the singing style of this song was completely different from “Listen to the Sea.” The pitch was much lower and didn’t suit Mo Fei’s usual high notes.

But Mo Fei did not disappoint them. She showed an equally amazing low pitch and equally rich emotions, interpreting this song with a different flavor than Chen Yijie!

At this moment, Chen Yijie seemed to be a complete supporting character, standing there dazed, letting Mo Fei continue to sing, “…Yearning to meet and then realizing, there’s a decade in between. The smiling face I long to see, only remains in memories. I don’t know how to talk anymore.”

If Mo Fei in “Listen to the Sea” was a slightly tipsy woman pouring out her emotions, influenced by alcohol, with significant emotional fluctuations, then Mo Fei in “Better Not to Meet” has transformed into an intellectual beauty drinking coffee, using pale yellow letter paper and soft brush strokes to slowly express her lost emotions, calm yet warm.

Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. It’s hard to say which Mo Fei is more captivating. But what was certain was that Mo Fei performed both of these songs in a way that was utterly enchanting!

Finally, Chen Yijie also started singing: “Like back in the days when I didn’t smoke, I don’t know how you’ve changed…”

As expected of Eason. As soon as he started singing, his deep, emotional, and highly distinctive voice, attracted the audience’s attention. His mature emotional expression, both welcoming and resisting, seemed even more outstanding than Mo Fei’s!

Perhaps stimulated by Chen Yijie, Mo Fei also erupted again. When the two sang “a mature performance of ‘Better Not To Meet’”, Mo Fei actually sang in perfect harmony with Chen Yijie, as if they were on the same level of strength.

Of course, many people couldn’t hear these differences.

That didn’t matter! How often can one see two top-notch singers performing together? Just like when Eason and a heavenly queen performed together on the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life, Mo Fei’s singing stayed on point, and her singing abilities even surpassed than those of the Heavenly Queen at her peak!

The audience below was thoroughly enjoying the performance!
