Shen Miao: [Okay, sister, have a good rest and perform well tomorrow. There will be a surprise at the end of the recording. 】
Originally he didn't plan to mention it and would just surprise her tomorrow, but he still couldn't help but mention it.
Tong Xinyao: [What a surprise, it’s mysterious. 】
Shen Miao: [It won’t be a surprise if you say it. Sister, don’t think about it, go and have a rest. 】
"This..." He wanted to say half of what he said...
Tong Xinyao didn't pay much attention. Her brother's surprise was nothing more than some gadgets. Her focus was still on tomorrow's recording. She must perform normally and not get hurt. This was her instruction to herself.
During the official recording the next day, Tong Xinyao still felt some discomfort in her ankle and did not try her best. But fortunately, the results were not bad and her ranking was relatively high. There was no danger of being eliminated for the time being.
The next round is a competition where contestants draw lots to form teams for a pas de deux. Since the number of contestants is an odd number, one contestant will partner with the airborne X-man, and Tong Xinyao was lucky enough to get this spot.
But she doesn’t know who it is now. The dance teacher sent her the video just like last week. Logically speaking, she only needs to practice her own part well, and then they can practice together. But this duet has lifting movements. Someone had to practice with her, so the program team sent two dance teachers back to the imperial capital with Tong Xinyao.
The recording of today's program went smoothly and ended at around six o'clock in the evening. While Tong Xinyao was still packing her things in the dressing room backstage, Shen Miao rushed in.
"Sister, hurry up, hurry up, it's too late." He was still panting, and it looked like he was running over.
"What can't be done in time?" Tong Xinyao didn't know why and stood there in confusion.
While still breathing, Shen Miao took out two tickets from her bag and said, "Sister, look at what these are."
Tong Xinyao took it and read the bold words at the bottom of the ticket carefully, "Tickets for "The Phantom of the Opera"? It won't be for tonight, right?" She hasn't reacted yet, and she doesn't know whether she should be excited or anxious about whether she can catch up.
"Yes, it's 7:30 tonight, so I told my sister to pick it up quickly!"
"Ahhh!" Tong Xinyao sped up her progress and hurriedly swept all the things on the table into her bag.
"There's a bit of traffic for us to take a taxi there now. It will take more than half an hour. We can barely catch up. I'll go to the convenience store downstairs to buy two loaves of bread to eat on the way. We'll meet at the door." Shen Miao has already made a plan. Tong Xinyao just goes to see it. No need. Be smart.
"Okay, I'm fast!"
After a while, Tong Xinyao put it away and trotted downstairs. She didn't want to stop and chat with anyone she saw. Everyone and everything flew past her.
When they got downstairs, Shen Miao had already called a car. After getting in the car, Shen Miao handed her a piece of bread and said, "Let's have some snacks first. When we are hungry after the show, we will have a late-night snack."
"Okay." Being able to watch the musical she had always dreamed of watching, it no longer mattered what she ate. "By the way, I remember that Jiangcheng's tickets were also very popular. How did you get them?"
"Of course I have to sacrifice a little favor." Shen Miao shook her head proudly, "I have a senior sister who is participating in the performance. They have internal tickets, and I asked for two."
"Oh." He only said that he was participating, not his role. It was most likely that he was an extra, so Tong Xinyao didn't ask in detail. But being able to be an extra in such a big production is also amazing.
Domestic musical actor Tong Xinyao also knows a little bit about it. She took out her phone to look at the cast lineup for tonight's show. The person who plays the Phantom is actually... Fang Kun, one of the most talented and popular male musical actors in China. First, although the heroine Christine is an actor whose name I have never heard of, it is normal for the old to bring up the new. Due to Fang Kun's fame, this show will definitely be hard to get a ticket.
Tong Xinyao carefully recalled when Shen Miao knew she liked this musical and arranged such a surprise today. After thinking about it, she probably mentioned it when she had dinner with him last week, "So you had dinner with me last week?" Did you have a plan when you arrived?"
"That's right. After you said you couldn't get the tickets, then I was checking my phone but wouldn't let you see it. I asked you if you had any plans for tonight. Didn't my sister notice it? Is it because I'm good at acting or because I think it's impossible for me to do it? Such a thing?" Shen Miao curled her lips pretending to be aggrieved, he was just joking.
Tong Xinyao was anxious, he was just a younger brother, "No... I have too many things to do recently. I have to practice dancing and training. I also helped my friend take care of the cat for a few days. I really can't think about other things. Don't Think more.”
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding, why do you take it seriously?" Shen Miao looked at Tong Xinyao with interest.
Tong Xinyao took a long breath, "That's good, that's good."
"Fortunately, today's recording went smoothly. I was also betting that if something unexpected happened today, it would all be in vain. And you have to rush back to the Imperial Capital tomorrow, so I can only take a gamble tonight to watch it."
"Then you have to thank the uncertainty of the recording duration. That's why I will return to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. If I can determine when the recording will be completed, I may fly back tonight."
"Sister, it's really hard. She deserves to be rewarded with a musical to comfort her." Shen Miao began to feel a little sorry for Tong Xinyao. She is a master of time management and is so strict with herself. As expected, everything she has now is what she deserves. .
They arrived at the theater at 7:15, fifteen minutes before the show started. There were many sets related to "The Phantom of the Opera" outside the theater for the audience to check in. Tong Xinyao also wanted to take a few photos, but there were still ticket checks and check-ins before entering. It was too late to wait any longer during the security check, so Shen Miao promised to accompany her to take pictures after she came out.
Because it was Friday, many people came to watch the show after work. The ticket check and security check queues were not short but increased before the show started. Although the beginning was an auction scene that had little to do with the main plot, Tong Xinyao liked this musical so much, okay? It's easy to see once and you'll regret missing a minute.
"Sister, come with me."
Tong Xinyao followed Shen Miao obediently. Everything today was arranged by him, and she believed him.
"Hello, where is the VIP access?"
VIP? Tong Xinyao's eyes widened. Apart from the fact that it would be better to have athletes in the audience seats when watching games, she had never enjoyed VIP treatment.
Sure enough, Shen Miao took her to the VIP channel, and they found a seat five minutes before the show started, but... they were in the first row?
"Why didn't you tell me you were in the front row? I was dressed like this today, and I didn't have time to take off my clothes." The clothes she wore for recording the show were too thick, so she took them off as soon as she got off. She was wearing the jeans she picked up when she went out in the morning. Add a windbreaker.
"It's okay. My sister is already dressed appropriately today. Besides, she is naturally beautiful. It doesn't matter. Look around. Everyone is dressed casually."
