Chapter 1123 Seemingly Forgot Something

In the following days, Su Yu did not rush back. Su Zhenguo and his wife had finally gone abroad, and it was their first time traveling overseas in their lives. Su Yu naturally wanted to accompany them to sightsee in Paris. The singers from the touring group were all excited upon learning that Su Yu would produce an album for them. They all returned to rest and prepare, saying they wanted to welcome their album in their best condition. Mo Yan and Shen Jinghong also returned with the touring group. Only Su Yu's family remained. Su Yu took his parents to experience the local customs and traditions of Paris. However, after winning "Time Music King," his popularity in Paris was extremely high. When they went out shopping, they often encountered fans asking for autographs and photos, making it impossible for them to truly enjoy shopping. Therefore, on the second day, Su Yu and Lin Yanyu were fully disguised, with masks and hats covering them completely. For added security, even Su Zhenguo and his wife wore masks. Only then did they have a chance to quietly go shopping. On the second day, Su Zhenguo and his wife bought many local specialties, preparing to give them to relatives and friends back home. Zhang Guizhi's nature was to show off. With Su Yu achieving such impressive results this time, she would definitely show off to every relative. However, Su Yu did not criticize her. In his opinion, his current achievements qualified him to be the "child of someone else's family," and it was reasonable for his mother to show off. Early on the third day, Su Yu booked his flight and prepared to return to China. Chinese New Year was just a few days away. This year, he had been officially invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. Moreover, he was scheduled for two performances. One was a purely instrumental piece about the country's landscapes, which he would perform himself. The other was a song about maternal love, to be sung by Chen Rong and Su Xiaoling. "Oh, right, Mom, why didn't Xiaolinger come with you?" Su Yu suddenly thought as they boarded the plane. Su Xiaoling should have been on winter break during this time. "Ah?" Su Zhenguo was startled. "We're finished!" Zhang Guizhi's expression changed. "What's wrong?" Su Yu asked confusedly. "We promised that girl Xiaoling that we'd take her to Paris to play. But we left in such a hurry, it seems we forgot her..." Zhang Guizhi said somewhat awkwardly. "It's over, it's over. We were so focused on your competition that we didn't think of Xiaoling..." Su Zhenguo said, rubbing his forehead in annoyance. Su Yu was dumbfounded. They could forget about this? And it had already been five days, and everyone was preparing to leave, and they still hadn't remembered? If Su Yu hadn't thought about Su Xiaoling performing with him at the Spring Festival Gala, they probably wouldn't have remembered this matter even after returning... Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a bit disoriented. He sighed, "Next time, I'll find a time to take her out alone..." Su Yu could understand Su Xiaoling's excited anticipation of coming to Paris, but when she discovered that Su Zhenguo and his wife had left without her, the feeling of her world exploding. Xiaolinger's young heart must have been hurt. ... In Shuangqing City. Second Uncle and Second Aunt were sitting in the living room watching TV, looking troubled. In the bedroom, Su Xiaoling was still diligently practicing the song for the Spring Festival Gala. "What should we do? Should we tell her?" Second Aunt asked in a low voice. "No need, after all, Xiaoyu and the others are coming back soon. Didn't he say not to tell Xiaoling yet..." Second Uncle also lowered his voice. "But if Xiaoyu and the others come back, won't Xiaolinger know that the competition is over?" Second Aunt's face showed anxiety. "It's fine, Xiaoyu said he has a way, and Xiaoling listens to her brother the most," Second Uncle said. "That's all we can do. It's your fault for not sending Xiaolinger to Big Brother's place!" Second Aunt complained. "Heh, you have the nerve to say that to me. You were supposed to set your alarm for eight in the morning, but you set it for eight at night!" Second Uncle retorted. When they had discussed it earlier, Su Zhenguo and his wife were scheduled to fly out at nine in the morning, and they asked Second Uncle to send Su Xiaoling to their place. However, due to setting the alarm at the wrong time, and Su Zhenguo and his wife being too nervous and forgetting about it. By the time Su Xiaoling and the others woke up, it was already nine in the morning. Fortunately, Su Xiaoling was naive and only knew she was going abroad to play, not the specific date. For the past two days, Su Xiaoling had been asking, and Second Uncle could only say "in two more days." It was difficult to hold out until now. "Dad, Mom, are we going abroad today?" Su Xiaoling came out of the bedroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "In two more days," Second Uncle answered casually. "Dad, do you think I'm stupid?" Su Xiaoling said seriously, hands on her hips. "Huh?" Second Uncle panicked immediately, had his daughter found out? "You said 'in two more days' the day before yesterday, and yesterday was one more day. Today should be the two days!" Su Xiaoling said, counting on her fingers. "Uh..." Just as Second Uncle didn't know how to answer, there was a knock on the door. "Coming!" Second Aunt quickly got up. When she opened the door, it was Su Yu's family, carrying various local specialties. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, these are gifts for you," Su Yu greeted them with a smile. "Our world champion is here! Come in quickly. Yanyu is here too. Come, all of you, come in." Second Aunt's face lit up when she saw Su Yu. After taking the gifts, she quickly made way, letting Su Yu and the others in. Seeing Su Xiaoling in the living room, Su Yu waved at her with a smile, "Xiaolinger." Su Xiaoling stared blankly at Su Yu, and then at Su Zhenguo and his wife. Many question marks suddenly appeared in her mind. "Brother Xiaoyu, you guys..." She hadn't reacted yet. Suddenly, she saw Su Yu pull out a doll from behind him. "Do you want it?" Su Yu tempted her. "Wow! My favorite doll!" Su Xiaoling's eyes immediately lit up. The reason she had pestered them to go to Paris was because a classmate had bought such a doll in Paris and was showing it off in class. "Mhm, I'm glad you like it. So, have you been practicing your song diligently recently?" Su Yu continued to ask, not giving her time to react. "Of course, I practice every day. Once I'm on TV, Xiaohua and the others will be incredibly envious of me!" Su Xiaoling said proudly, holding the doll. Su Xiaoling had already become a prominent figure in the school after her performance of "Let Us Paddle Together" at school. Now she was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, which the whole nation would watch. Su Xiaoling's attention-seeking personality naturally made the entire school aware of this. She had even specifically told her classmates to watch her performance. "That's good. Perform it, and let your brother check how well you've practiced," Su Yu exchanged a look with his Second Uncle and the others. "Xiaolinger, quickly perform for your Brother Xiaoyu," Second Uncle quickly responded. "Let Brother Xiaoyu give you some pointers so you can perform even better on TV, and Xiaohua and the others will envy you even more!" Zhang Guizhi also joined in. Su Xiaoling's head was buzzing with everyone's words, and she couldn't quite grasp the situation. "Then I'll sing for Brother Xiaoyu." She put down the doll and began to perform. However, Su Xiaoling still felt like she had forgotten something.
