815 Words
Finally, Liam appeared on stage. He walked to the center of the stage calmly and bent down politely towards the thousands of audience members. On the huge screen, his face was enlarged into the entire screen, a 360-degree face without any blind spots. The audience took in a deep breath. He was so cute, such a handsome child! What kind of person could give birth to such a child? James watched his grandson's performance with tears in his eyes. He felt really proud and proud, he had not felt this way for a long time. Betty and her daughter looked at each other, a kind of resentment surging within them. This was obviously a child born out of thin air, how could he be so powerful? Even if Aliyah was from the music industry, she could not teach such a young child to play such a good violin! Moreover! Looking at this child's face, he didn't look like Aliyah at all. Could it be that the man back then was also very handsome? This caused her to be jealous, but at the same time, she was also laughing coldly. How was this possible? Maybe it was the genes of this child! Once he grew up, he might become a cripple. This sort of thing was not uncommon! "He really is my good grandson. He's too calm." James felt that he must have inherited his own genes. And on the backstage, behind a set that the spectators couldn't see, Aliyah was nervously wringing her hands, watching her son perform on the stage. She was worried for him, afraid that something might happen to him. Anna embraced her, her exquisite face resting on her shoulder. Looking at her godson, she had a pampered smile on her face. The little child’s performance this time was at level six. A violin piece with a bit of difficulty was more complicated, but the host had also emphasized this point. This really attracted the audience's attention. Could a four-year-old child play a violin piece that was at least level 6? Isn't this too challenging? The more impossible it seemed, the more it piqued the curiosity of others and kept them in suspense. Not only was it the audience, but the channel's viewership rating had steadily risen to first place. The entire country's audience was watching this scene in anticipation of this child's astonishing performance. They believed that this world truly did have talented children. Liam did not have any sense of achievement. At this stage, if he wanted to win something, it would not be due to his sense of achievement, it would not be because of the title of Champion. Therefore, there was not a single trace of nervousness in his playing. His small face, under the high-definition video camera, was calm and composed, with a serious and handsome appearance. It was unknown just how much popularity and affection he would gain from playing this song. Behind the set, both Aliyah’s and Anna’s eyes were moist. Below the stage, James also tensed up as he listened to his grandson's performance. He heard countless soft praises by his side, he really wanted to say that this was his grandson. The little Child’s brilliant performance concluded, and a deafening burst of applause instantly sounded out from below the stage. It was like a clap of thunder that never stopped for a long time. And this time, the evaluators were beginning to pick their candidates for the championship. Without question, they chose the name of Lima as they had no other choice but to choose him.   The moment the host announced the choice for the champion, the four children on stage were already very excited. They hugged each other and then the host made Liam stay behind. At this time, Anna immediately ran over to send his flowers. Although she walked over quickly, the media had still caught sight of her. The child quickly kissed his godmother's face before holding the host's hand and walking to the center of the stage. The host crouched down and looked at Liam with respect, then smiled and asked, "Little Liam, how do you feel right now, do you want to share with everyone?" "Uncle, can I borrow your microphone?" Liam asked politely. "Of course, Let me ask someone to give you a microphone. You can say whatever you want on stage." "Alright." On the side of the stage, Aliyah and Anna looked at each other. They had never known that Liam would be so bold and actually wanted to say something. Was it an acceptance speech or something? Aliyah started to worry, she did not manage to organize her son's speech properly, so when he comes to the scene, there shouldn't be any problems, right?   She was very curious, but at the same time, she was also a bit nervous about what her son would say.
