night.
A hotel where the theater troupe rests.
Shiro put down the quill in his hand and yawned slightly.
"Finally everything is done!" Her tone was filled with joy.
Today, the construction of the stage is finally completed with the joint efforts of everyone.
After a grand celebration banquet, Bai had to finalize the rewards one by one overnight and distribute them to the workers the next day. Residents who helped for free also had to send thank-you gifts.
What was placed in front of Bai was a roster that had just been made. Although the quantity is not small, since I usually pay attention to sorting it out, the workload is not very large.
As a team leader, these tasks are inevitable.
If you can't perform on stage, you'll have to do the logistics carefully!
This was Bai's determination when the troupe was founded.
But later on, as the number of people gradually increased, there was no clear division of labor. They all helped each other and only had expertise in their respective fields.
The troupe developed rapidly from this.
If everyone didn't enjoy the feeling of a family theater, the theater's roster would have been full.
This is the result of our joint efforts!
Every time he arrived at a new place, Bai felt fulfilled when he saw the troupe receiving an extremely warm welcome.
So she felt particularly relaxed when doing these things.
Well, it's good for a theater troupe to be popular, but if it's too popular, situations that make people laugh or cry will occasionally happen.
For example, the celebration banquet just now.
In this banquet, in addition to the dishes prepared for entertaining, the enthusiastic residents also brought various proud dishes from their own homes. When the atmosphere reached its climax, local performers presented their talents, allowing everyone in the troupe to experience songs and dances with local characteristics.
Everyone sometimes communicated, sometimes imitated, it was so lively, and the time passed unknowingly. When I came to my senses, it was already evening.
After all the various dishes and meals were finished, someone started to toast.
In this small town, the drinking culture is very popular, and both men and women drink very well.
But except for Mei Ke, no one in the theater troupe drinks, and most of the members are not old enough. This resulted in others still using juice as a shield, but Mei Ke inevitably became the target of siege.
Although the men are restrained, they don't have any worries as women.
The female bartenders with bold personalities picked up their wine bowls one after another.
No matter how much Mei Ke drank, she couldn't help but drink them one by one. The result was that she was so drunk that she was lying on the bed unconscious.
However, the person who was toasting didn't fare much better either. A piece of it was poured on the dining table, and someone from the theater troupe had to help take it home.
Recalling the scene at that time, Bai couldn't help laughing.
With her beautiful body leaning on the desk, Bai saw the beautiful moon in the night sky through the window, and gradually became trance-like.
There are many happy moments like this, and you can often enjoy the beauty of life with everyone in the theater troupe.
Looking back on the past now, if I hadn't mustered up the courage to establish a theater troupe, if I hadn't met everyone, I might never have been able to live such a life, right?
…
Bai doesn't know who her parents are. She has been living in an orphanage near the sea for as long as she can remember.
The director is a smart and capable woman who manages everything in the nursing home in an orderly manner. In addition to various aspects of management, she often organizes children and teachers to make handicrafts to supplement finances. So the standard of living in the nursing home is pretty good.
Most of the people Bai saw when she was a child had black hair, and there were also people with other colors, but she was the only one with white hair.
The adults around her rarely went out to see the world, so they paid a lot of attention to her, worried whether she was suffering from a disease, and even spent a lot of money to hire a doctor.
After being examined, a somewhat panicked Bai concluded that everything was normal.
The teachers breathed a sigh of relief, and before sending Bai back to the group, they also asked other children not to receive special treatment because of Bai's hair color.
But because of the previous attention from adults, many children were a little dissatisfied in their inner dialogue. This also makes white hair color become something they can't let go of.
Although no violence occurred, Bai's life in the foster home was not very happy.
The long-term cold violence made Bai's already introverted character even more serious. The adults were worried but had no good solution, so they could only spend more time with her.
However, such actions only made the situation worse, and in the end, Bai didn't even have a few friends of the same age with whom he could talk.
At that time, she was still thinking that if her hair were another color, even a beautiful silver, she would be able to get along well with everyone.
She also tried to cut her hair late at night, but was stopped by her teacher in time.
The depressed mentality made Bai introverted and extremely unconfident.
Even though she was praised every time she made handicrafts, she thought she was just lucky.
In his spare time, Bai would run to the beach alone, step on the soft sand, and wave his hands while listening to the sound of the waves.
It was the only thing that made her happy.
One day, a middle-aged couple came to the adoption home. They said they had never had children, and after hearing about Bai, they wanted to adopt her.
The dean has always been very cautious when someone comes to adopt a child. Not only will he confirm the person's personality, but he will also investigate the other person's family conditions and only agree if they are good.
The results of the investigation showed that the couple's family background was very good.
This made the dean very happy. She thought that if Bai could live in such an environment, it would be much better than his current situation!
Bai was extremely frightened when she heard the news that she was about to be adopted. She was very afraid that her adoptive parents would not like her because of her hair, which would cause trouble to the dean.
The smiling dean comforted her in every possible way, and when he brought her to her adoptive parents, she discovered that her adoptive father was also born with white hair.
"It's very hard, it will be fine in the future."
When being held by her adoptive mother, Bai finally cried. It was the first time she cried so loudly.
After leaving his hometown with his adoptive parents, Bai Cai learned that people born with white hair are not particularly rare. There are many children born with white hair in other places. However, in more remote places, they are more likely to be discriminated against.
Bai's biological parents probably abandoned her like this.
Fortunately, the couple who adopted Bai doted on children like Bai very much.
Bai's adoptive father is a well-known musician and his adoptive mother is a teacher. Bai has lived in a big city since then and has never been treated differently because of his hair color. However, due to past experiences, Bai's character was only alleviated, but could not be completely improved.
The adoptive father didn't mind, but just told Bai to live happily. If you have the energy, pay more attention to cultivating your own interests and hobbies, maybe you can become a specialty. The adoptive mother secretly told Bai that her husband came here like this when he was a child.
Bai obediently followed his adoptive father's instructions, and then...
She only felt that she was immersed in the love of her adoptive parents, and slowly she forgot that she was an adopted child.
When she was fourteen, her father asked her what her dream was.
Bai was a little at a loss.
Before she was adopted, her dream was to be a nun so she could hide her conspicuous white hair.
But now that she was no longer bothered by her hair color, she couldn't answer properly for a while.
The mother smiled and said, why not go outside and take a look before deciding what you think.
So Bai anxiously started his journey with an exaggerated sum of money.
It's strange to say that her father is a musician, but when Bai decided to go on a trip, her father gave her a lot of self-defense skills.
These self-defense techniques were extremely practical and saved her a lot of trouble during her journey.
Because of caution, Bai did not use the money given by his parents casually. Instead, he found work wherever he went to earn living expenses. So even while wandering aimlessly, she learned a lot along the way.
While traveling to the other side of the sea and working in a flower shop, Bai met Mei Ke.
After getting along with her for a period of time, she found that Meike seemed to have no definite goal and was just working around to make money.
How similar it is to her!
After Mei Ke heard about Bai, she also became very interested in her.
The two gradually became familiar with each other, and their understanding of each other gradually increased.
Bai saw Mei Ke's unique talent in singing and dancing.
Mei Ke discovers Bai's almost all-powerful terrifying talent except singing...
During a chat after dinner, Mei Ke jokingly mentioned:
"How about we form a troupe and perform in various places? In this way, you can continue to travel, and I can make money relatively stably. If we are all acquaintances, maybe I can bring that brat from my family to save me the time. Running back and forth during the holidays.”
When Bai first heard this proposal, he was very hesitant.
Mei Ke asked her to be the leader, and Bai was worried about her lack of ability.
But in the past, Bai had gone to the venue where her father performed to listen to the performance. The feeling of being immersed in the music and the intoxicated appearance of the audience, everything made her yearn for it.
If you establish a theater troupe, will you be like your father?
Such thoughts flashed through Bai's mind, and an inexplicable impulse arose in her heart.
Similarly, influenced by her father, Bai also loves performing. She misses the feeling of dancing her arms to the sound of the waves as a child.
Finally, with Mei Ke's encouragement, Bai made up his mind and used all the funds available to establish a theater troupe.
She still remembers Meiko's stunned look after taking out the money.
The troupe had just started, and neither Bai nor Mei Ke had any relevant experience. After several discussions, the troupe's first performance was at a pier with a large flow of people.
Bai plays the piano accompaniment, Mei Kelai sings, and performs crudely on the street.
The first show was very successful. Mei Ke's unique singing voice and Bai Gaojun's playing skills deeply attracted passers-by. The pier was finally surrounded by water.
The first success gave Bai some confidence. With the influence of this performance, she performed several performances and publicity in the surrounding areas, which quickly spread the reputation of the troupe. Then she purchased related equipment and expanded the number of performers. and a series of other measures.
In this way, the management of the theater troupe got on the right track, and little by little it got to where it is today.
Bai gained unimaginable fun in the process of running the theater troupe.
On the one hand, the intoxication shown by the audience behind the stage of the troupe made her complacent and happy.
On the other hand, every new member makes the troupe feel like a warm and happy family.
She gradually fell in love with this kind of life.
If her father asked her about her dream now, she would definitely say:
I want to develop the theater troupe into the number one performing group in the world!
——She has almost succeeded!
Bai Rao felt like a child wanting to show off.
Find time to go home!
Bai thought so as he smiled unconsciously.
After counting the time, it was almost time for the people who went to help to come back.
Bai stood up and prepared to make some midnight snacks for everyone.
We have to prepare for the performance starting tomorrow. Rehearsal is very hard. Today is the last chance to rest.
Treat everyone as much as you can!
Bai walked downstairs and happened to see An coming back.
"Captain, haven't you slept yet?" An looked tired.
Drunk people are the most noisy. After everything was over, An only felt exhausted.
"Cook some food for everyone. I think everyone was just drinking at night and didn't eat much." Bai said.
An patted her cheek to cheer up, then rolled up her sleeves: "I'm here to help."
Bai didn't refuse. An's cooking was the best in the theater troupe, but he had to work harder.
Bai originally planned to cook it himself, but now An is the chef and she helps. We don't want to eat too much at night, so the two plan to cook a moderate meal for everyone when they come back.
Bai looked at An who was busy, and some pictures suddenly flashed in his mind.
The smile on his face slowly solidified, and his hand chopping vegetables stopped unconsciously.
"...An, you..." Bai's voice was trembling.
"Huh? What's wrong, leader?" An didn't hear clearly.
Thinking of what he had discussed with Miku, Bai did not continue.
She smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, An, who did you learn your martial arts skills from?"
"I've never learned anything." An, who was busy cooking, thought for a moment and joked, "Maybe it's because I'm gifted."
"Hey, is that so? Then you are so good at it?" Bai smiled, "Is it possible that you can do magic?"
"Haha, leader, you are better at joking than I am."
"Why are you kidding?" Bai's smile was a little unnatural, and his voice became a little deeper, "Look, if you can do magic, then everything will make sense..."
"Ah, what?"
The sound of the oil pan was loud, and An, who was focused on his hands, didn't hear what Qing Bai said.
"Yeah..." Bai shook his head, his face slowly softened, "An!"
Her voice slowly grew louder.
"I'm listening, Captain." An stared at the pot. This was a critical moment and he couldn't ignore it, but he still focused part of his attention on Bai.
"Everyone in our theater troupe is like a family!" Bai said loudly and relievedly, looking at An's back.
Although he was a little confused, An still continued:
"Isn't that natural?"
