Hearing Lu Li's call, not to mention Alice and Daniel, even Brandon and Song Lingyi came over one after another, and at this time, many of the other cowboys next to the ticket booth turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound - and then they saw Brandon walking over. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Brandon!" "Cowboy boy." "Scott's boy. ”…… The calls came and went, and many of them were old acquaintances, and Brandon and Song Lingyi's footsteps suddenly slowed down.

Lu Li obviously didn't expect such a situation, it seems that the cowboys who can show their skills at the cowboy conference are all celebrities in Texas, enjoying the same treatment as Hollywood stars, looking at Song Lingyi, who was surrounded by the crowd in a blink of an eye, Lu Li rushed over in a few big strides, and stood beside Song Lingyi before the crowd closed- Although there is no problem with Song Lingyi's basic communication in the past two days, in the face of such a large group of cowboys with thick accents, people are tall and strong like a small mountain, Lu Li is still worried about Song Lingyi.

Sure enough, seeing Lu Li coming over, Song Lingyi subconsciously leaned towards Lu Li's side and found a sense of security, but Song Lingyi did not panic, raised her head to look at Lu Li, and asked with a puzzled face, "What's the matter?" Lu Li explained his guess, Song Lingyi couldn't help but smile, "So, Brandon is still a big star?"

Brandon, who was standing next to him, heard this sentence and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, "All of them are old friends." Then Brandon raised his head, looked at everyone, and took the initiative to introduce, "This is Ling Yi, who has come to Texas as a guest." ”

The surrounding crowd greeted Song Lingyi one after another, but left Lu Li aside. Song Lingyi was a little flattered, but she still cheered up, nodded to everyone separately, and finally waited for the crowd to disperse, Song Lingyi came back to her senses and sighed, "Don't they all say that Texans are very xenophobic?"

Brandon puffed up his chest slightly, "That's all other people's prejudice against us, in fact, Texans are the most hospitable." Lu Li, who was standing next to him, smiled silently, which provoked Brandon to look at him, "What?

Lu Li raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "I don't dare to disagree, and I don't look at what the occasion is here." This ridicule made Song Lingyi laugh happily, and Brandon's zombie face became even colder, as if even the air temperature had dropped a little.

Texans are indeed xenophobic, most of the time they refuse to greet Asian faces, Lu Li has a deep understanding of this, just now because Brandon was present to introduce him, and Texans are precisely the ones who pay the most attention to men's righteousness, so they took the initiative to give face. What's more, Texans are xenophobic and may be more tolerant of tourists, but if you choose to put down roots here, the experience is completely different.

If it weren't for the introduction of Lily and Ronald's wedding anniversary party, I'm afraid that Lu Li would still be wandering outside the circle of the ranch now. Life is like this, the event may be a small thing at the time, but it will play an important turning point in the future, and vice versa, in the present, you will feel that the world is falling apart, as if the world has collapsed, but only after the passage of time will you realize that it is those hardships and frustrations that have made you who you are now. Be unique.

Lu Li took Song Lingyi and Brandon to the board, Alice and Daniel were already standing there, and they all showed excited expressions, "Brandon, your appearance is too different from usual." ”

Brandon said calmly, "Do you think that in Texas, we won't use photo editing software?"

The serious gesture uttered such contrasting words that several people exchanged glances, and then laughed.

"Visitors are also a big part of the Stampede now, and the awareness campaign is increasing, and that's just part of it. Brandon explained simply.

Lu Li had heard Cole say it before. In the past, the Cowboy Convention was very repulsive to tourists, but the economic situation has deteriorated, and now it has to be compromised, and you can feel that the festival has made many improvements and innovations, and the tolerance and welcome of tourists are obviously different. Brandon stood in the studio with an embarrassed and stiff face, accepting the photo, and then posing for all kinds of movements, and the picture made people laugh.

"Mom, who did you buy?" Lu Li and the others walked back towards their seats.

Song Lingyi took out three tickets from his pocket, "Brandon recommended me to buy one, he thinks this young man has great potential, and then I bought one, I like this guy named Lu Li, he looks very handsome......" Song Lingyi didn't finish speaking, Lu Li laughed dumbly, and then heard Alice next to him also nodding repeatedly, "I bought it too, I bought it too!" He is really handsome, isn't he?"

Song Lingyi said in surprise, "Do you think so too? Me too!Haha, I took a photo with Lu Li's Kanban just now!" As soon as Song Lingyi finished speaking, Alice immediately walked over and shouted, "Ahhh

Lu Li exchanged glances with Brandon, Daniel, and Cole, and a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and sure enough, women and men look at things from very different angles.

The group returned to their seats, and Fred and Randy walked over with a large pile of popcorn and roasted corn in their hands, still yelling, "Help, help." ”

Lu Li took the popcorn from Fred's hand, and he hurriedly shouted, "No, go to the back, Marianne and the others still have beer in their hands, the three girls can't hold it at all, go and help!"

Lu Huaijin stood up immediately, followed behind Lu Li, and went to greet the girls behind, everyone brought the beer, and then distributed snacks, bustling to discuss the situation of the bet just now, and everyone circulated the brochure. The women discussed the board of the handsome cowboys, while the men discussed the abilities and qualifications of the first contestant, and the scene suddenly came alive.

"Bang!

The salute sounded at the scene, and all the people who were chatting paused, and at the same time looked in the same direction, only to see the entrance on the right-hand side, two cowgirls carrying flags slowly walked into the field, the two of them deliberately slowed down the pace of the horses, and the horses after dressing up raised their hooves high, and then slowly fell down in a neat and orderly manner, as if a gorgeous performance, successfully combining strength and beauty, an American flag, a Texas state flag fluttering in the wind, simple but grand.

The audience stood up, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi looked at Lu Li, and then also stood up, Song Lingyi leaned into Lu Li's ear, "What should we do when the American national anthem is sung that time?"

"We're in charge of laughing. Lu Li's answer made Song Lingyi stunned, obviously not understanding what this meant, but Lu Li didn't continue to explain, just patted Song Lingyi's shoulder and motioned her to look forward.

Song Lingyi raised her head and looked at Lu Huaijin, but found that he was also at a loss, and the two of them could only follow everyone and applaud while looking at the venue.

After two cowgirls carried flags across the venue, four female singers walked into the venue through the entrance at the other end, each of them wearing simple plaid shirts and jeans, not overly dressed in a very exaggerated manner, but in a very special way - they walked out of the fence where the cattle were grazing, and their thin bodies looked very petite under the tall fence, and even more exquisite in the spacious field.

"Are they ......" Lu Li looked at the big screen, his face was still a little unfamiliar, and he didn't seem to have any impression, so he leaned into Cole's ear and asked.

"They're all former Voice of America contestants, and they've all been on TV, even though they didn't make it to live week. Cole's simple explanation made Lu Li suddenly realize, and nodded to show that he understood.

As she spoke, the four female singers began to sing the American national anthem together. Instead of accompaniment, they sang a complete cappella, "Ah, at the dawn of the morning, do you see, what makes us so proud?"

The tone of the whole song is really too low, so low that it seems to have penetrated the soil into the ground, and the deep voice is not like a female voice at all, but like a muffled thunder.

Song Lingyi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and when she raised her head, she saw the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth, "Why does this song sound weird?" Song Lingyi always felt that something was wrong, but she was not familiar with the American national anthem, so she couldn't say why.

Lu Li finally didn't hold back, and his smile overflowed, "They sang out of tune." As soon as these words came out, Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin looked at it in disbelief, and couldn't believe that someone would actually tune the national anthem of their country - not an amateur singer with incomplete five notes, but a professional singer who performs on a formal occasion, which ...... It's incredible.

Lu Li has long been used to it, "The American national anthem is really difficult to sing, firstly, there are too many lyrics, and secondly, the ups and downs of the melody are very strange. Even true professional singers often make mistakes when singing, and there is a special episode of national anthem errors on YouTube. ”

Lu Li didn't believe it before, thinking that it must be a joke, but later found out that it was true.

A few years ago, Beyoncé attended the performance of the Super Bowl of the "Spring Festival Gala" in the United States, and chose to lip-sync when singing the national anthem, and was criticized by the media and fans, but Beyoncé knew that he would definitely suffer such treatment if he did this, and he still chose to lip-sync, because in many top sports events broadcast live across the country, professional singers sang the national anthem when they were embarrassed, either forgetting the lyrics or completely out of tune, and even breaking the sound, that scene is really unbearable to look at.

Without waiting for Lu Li to continue to explain, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and everyone looked at it together-the four female singers actually forgot the words at the same time, and the scene seemed to be a little embarrassing.
