As expected, Alix was declared the winner of the violin competition. Amidst very loud cheering from her family, especially her overly excited grandfather, she received the very first award of her life.
Just as she similarly expected, the young genius Rui came in second place and Wangshu came third.
The joyous noise tripled the moment they stepped out of the concert hall. Alix was pulled from one direction to another and embraced tightly. Tai Ho Sun even twirled her around as she screamed at the top of her voice.
Her violin shaped trophy was also passed around, and her brothers took pictures with it.
"Let's all go home for the big party." grandpa Tai reminded them all.
Not only was it a celebration of Alix's victory but it was also the day of the big party introducing her to the world as Tai Alix. The Tai elders had prepared it this way because they wanted her to celebrate the day, whether she came first or second.
