The song and dance lasted for five minutes before gradually coming to an end.

The paper figure affixed to Xia Yue’s clothing turned into ash once they stopped dancing.

Xia Xi stood up, moved to Xia Yue’s side, bowed to the audience below the stage, then both of them turned to old Grandfather Xia and said, "Happy birthday, Grandfather. May you live as long as the southern mountain."

No sooner had they finished speaking than applause rang out.

"Good, good. This is the first time Grandfather has seen such a wonderful song and dance. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Xi and Yue." Old Grandfather Xia looked at the two of them, and laughed heartily as he spoke.

"Indeed, just now Xi was like the ’Piano Fairy,’ and Yue was like a little goldfish. It was very delightful to watch," Grandmother Xia nodded and said, laughing.

"Thank you for your praise, Grandfather, and Grandmother." Xia Yue and Xia Xi replied with a laugh.

The banquet officially started afterward, and Xia Yue and Xia Xi descended from the stage.

Suddenly, they were surrounded by Xia Xin and her others.

"Wow, your performance just now was absolutely amazing." Xia Xin exclaimed in surprise.

"Speaking of which, you good siblings didn’t tell me and Xiaoxi about your performance." Xia Yue immediately questioned.

"Come on! This is always part of every celebration, you didn’t forget, did you?" Xia Xin asked, surprised to look at her.

"What... Oh! I totally forgot. It’s a staple at big celebrations, that we, as children of the Xia Family, are expected to perform. "

But, of course, this does not apply to Xia Tian and Xia Yu. They are the most outstanding grandsons of the Xia Family, hence it’s assumed that they don’t need to perform. Similarly, the family wouldn’t expect me either, because I don’t have any performance skills. To avoid embarrassment, the Xia Family never asked me to perform.

So, I totally forgot about this tradition.

"But what really surprised us is that you both coordinated so well. The dance was so fluid, and the song was so nice. Did you two secretly practice to surprise us?" Xia Xin said, looking at Xia Yue and Xia Xi.

"Exactly, we thought it was going to be embarrassing, but instead we got such a big surprise." Xia Feng said laughing.

"We used a trick. You all know very well that I don’t know how to dance or have ever taken dance lessons." Xia Yue laughed as she told them.

"Your performance did not look like you have never danced before. Do you still consider us as your siblings? Come on, tell us." Xia Xin questioned, echoing Xia Yue’s statement.

Xia Yue quickly looked at Xia Xi, unsure of how to explain.

"We simply used a distraction to make you think that it was us performing. But in reality, it wasn’t." Xia Xi said as they looked back.

"A distraction? What kind of distraction?" Xia Feng asked curiously.

"Don’t ask. Knowing about it won’t be beneficial to you," Xia Xi said lightly.

Suddenly, they remembered that the tricks Xia Xi knew seemed a bit unusual, and a chill ran down their spines.

"Alright, we’re going to get some food now. You guys have fun." Xia Yue quickly excused herself. After finishing the sentence, she and Xia Xi headed towards the food area.

"I’m sorry, I totally forgot about this performance segment. I almost embarrassed you as well." Once they were away from the crowd, Xia Yue looked at Xia Xi apologetically.

"Haven’t you taken part in it before?" Xia Xi asked curiously.

"No, I’m always exempt from this segment because I don’t have any performance skills. To avoid embarrassment, I never go on stage." Xia Yue shook her head and replied.
