De Longjun walked to the backstage. "Excuse me? Where is the makeup room?" He asked.
One of the guards nearby showed him the place. But when he arrived there were no one.
He looked there for sometime, but he couldn't see her. She could be in stage.
He walked towards the seats. When he reached there, he saw Zan Guiying... Looking at him...
He smiled... She smiled too... He waved at her....
***
Zan Guiying and her classmates were so good in acting in the drama named 'A Pot of Seeds.'
The viewers could feel the sadness of Ping when she couldn't grow the seeds given by the king. The king's voice was so majestic and he acted like that too. All the other students acted fitting like their characters. They laughed and ridiculed Ping that he couldn't grow the seeds...
Atlast... 'Clap! Clap! Clap!' The drama 'A Pot of Seeds' ended. Everyone stood up and clapped.
"We should send her to an acting class.... My daughter would definitely turn into a superstar!!" Zan Tengfei got exited and rambled to his wife.
"Maybe... But we should ask her first!!" Bo Ehuang looked at her husband. Ha.... He has lost it.
"Before that!! We should greet her in the backstage!!" Grandpa Zan interjected their dreams.
"Yes!! Yes!! We should!!" Zan Tengfei stood up, along with his wife. All of the three got up and walked towards the backstage.
***
"She is quite good!! Is it husband?!" Xi Fang asked her husband.
"She is!!" He agreed.
"What about you kids!! You should go and congratulate her!!" Grandpa De turned towards his grandchildren.
"Yes!! Grandpa!!"
"We should all go too!!" De Yating stood up.
"Look dad!! The Zans are going!! They would be also going to see her!!" De Hua poked her father.
"Okay!! Kids!! Wife!! Father!! Come...." They stood up.
"Mr. Zan!! Hello!!" De Yating called Zan Tengfei.
He turned.
"Hello Mr. De!!"
Both of the families greeted each other.
"Where are you going? Elder Zan?!" Elder De asked.
"We are going to meet Little Yingying!!" Elder Zan replied.
"Oh!! Then we are also come with you!!"
"Oh yes!! Come come!!"
"Daddy!! Mommy!! Grandpa!!" A small figure ran and hugged Grandpa Zan.
***
When she acted, Zan Guiying was confident in herself. She remembered all her lines and acted accordingly. Thankfully none of the others didn't make a mistake in dialogue.
When the curtain fell down, they all stood up and bowed. They could hear the clapping from the audience...
The kids felt proud and happy...
All of them came out of the stage.
"Kids!! You did good!! Everyone!! Clap for themselves!!" Their teacher encouraged them.
'Clap! Clap! Clap!' The kids clapped and laughed.
"Now!! All of you can go and meet your parents... And don't forget to change your costumes!! So you should meet your parents and come back!! Okay?!"
"Yes! Teacher!!"
"Then kids!! You should go now!!" Their teacher smiled.
All of the kids ran to meet their parents including Zan Guiying.
From far... She could see her family.
"Daddy!! Mommy!! Grandpa!!" A small figure ran and hugged Grandpa Zan.
"Oh!! My Little Yingying!! You are so cute!!" Grandpa Zan hugged her back.
"Daddy!! Mommy!! How did I do it?!" Zan Guiying looked at her parents expectantly. It's when she saw the De family. "Grandpa De!! Uncle De!! Aunt De!!" She greeted all of them. "Sorry I didn't see you!!" She apologized.
"It's okay!! Zan Guiying!!" Grandpa De lightly dismissed her.
Zan Guiying smiled at De kids. Big brother Jun!! How did I do!! Didn't you say I will fail!! Look.... I didn't even misspoke a single line!! She looked at De Longjun and smiled meaningfully.
"You did well Zan Guiying!! You have a knack in acting!!" Mr and Mrs De appreciated her.
"Thank you!!"
"Yes!! Yingying!! You did well and I have bought a gift for you!!" Grandpa De beckoned his hands.
Seconds later, a bodyguard came with a small gift pack.
"What is it grandpa De?!" Zan Guiying began to unwrap it.
"Wow!! It's so beautiful!!" Zan Guiying exclaimed and gave it to her her parents.
It was a small necklace. With red rubies...
"Mommy!! Look!! Grandpa De gave it to me!!" She eagerly shown it her parents.
"It looks beautiful Yingying!! You should thank elder De!! Zan Tengfei instructed his daughter.
"Thank you!! Grandpa De!!" She bowed her head.
"Elder Zan!! Your grandkid is cute.... I am waiting for her to grow up!!" Elder De laughed.
"Me too elder De!!" Elder Zan laughed too.
Both the families looked at their respective elders.
"Zan Guiying!! You did well in your drama!! The kids congratulated her.
"Thank you!!" Zan Guiying smiled. She looked at De Longjun expectantly. "Did I do well? Big brother Jun?!" She asked.
"Mm... You did well!!" He answered.
"Ohh.... Big brother Jun... You told me that..."
"Zan Guiying!! It's your turn!!" He teacher called her.
"Oh!! Yes I am coming!!" She turned and answered. "Mommy! daddy! Grandpa! I should go and change!!" She bowed to all of them and ran to the green room.
"Big brother Jun!! We should talk after this!!" She warned De Longjun.
He chuckled. "Okay!! I will wait for you!!"
"Hmph!" Zan Guiying ran.
Every elders in De family and Zan family laughed.

"Big brother Jun!! You left!! Before I came back!!" Zan Guiying was calling De Longjun.
"Well... We had some more things to do!! That's why we decided to leave!!" He answered.
"I thought you would wait for me!! I wanted to talk to you!!"
"Oh....." He remembered. "Then tell me Yingying. What do you want to say?"
"Khm!! De Longjun!! You told me that I can't perform well in the upcoming drama!! But look!! I have done a good job and everyone praised me!! And also I didn't even make a mistake in dialogue delivery!! Soooo.... Don't you want to say something?!?" She gave him a hint. Now say sorry!!
"What should I say!! Yingying!!" De Longjun smiled deeply.
"Don't you know??"
"No!! I don't!!"
"Are you sure?!"
"Yes!! I am!!"
"BIG BROTHER JUN!!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! I am sorry Yingying!! I played with you again!!" I am sorry!!" De Longjun apologise suddenly. "And Yingying.... I didn't know you were soft hearted!! I was just playing with you in last time to....!!!"
"BIG BROTHER JUN!!" Zan Guiying called him angrily.
