Chapter 133: Process

As soon as the words "Sven scum" came out, Lin Yi was not happy, and sure enough, this girlfriend also "didn't go to the house for three days". He squinted at Gege as if threatening, "Say it again." ”

Gege flexibly swam out of his arms like a fish, ran to the living room happily, and turned back happily to provoke: "You go to the Internet to check, this is really not a bad word, I am praising you." ”

(Author's note: As a word in Internet language, Sven scum is a very popular word in today's rice circle, mostly used to describe good-looking, polite, glasses-wearing boys, but actually a black and sinister person, becoming one of the roles that fans want to see idols play the most.) Because as an actor, it is a very brilliant behavior to be able to play a good villain, and the White Lotus-style protagonist setting is difficult to capture the hearts of the audience, but this contrast between the evolution of good-looking people has become the new favorite of today's girls, after all, as the saying goes, good men are not bad, women are not loved. The term "Sven scum" began to become popular, and "glasses killing" became a new skill for flirting girls. οΌ‰

"Then what are you afraid of, don't run if you have the ability." Lin approached step by step.

If you don't run, are you waiting to be eaten and wiped clean by you? Gege is not stupid, the two of them chased around the sofa several times like children, and finally Gege begged for mercy: "Okay, let's wait a while to go to bed and then do that, I really have something serious now." ”

"Which one more?" Lin Yi got cheap and sold well.

"Whichever you say, whichever you say." Gege conceded defeat anyway.

"It's a deal." Lin Yi called it a day satisfied, and this sentence was enough.

Finally, Gege can check the information without interference. She emailed several nearby dog training centers to ask if there were any suitable dogs available for the show that day. At the same time, she searched for a complete ice hockey game, carefully read from the beginning to the end, and kept pausing to take some notes in the middle, after all, she had never seen an official live game, and wanted to go through the whole process from the bottom of her mind. When she stretched out after she was busy, she found that it was already the middle of the night, and when she walked upstairs, she found that Lin Yi was already asleep.

She tiptoed to finish freshening up, hugged Lin Yi from behind and slept sweetly, saying that the good "that" could only be rescheduled. (#^.^#)

The next day, Gege had a class at 10:30 a.m., and Lin went downstairs to prepare a nutritious breakfast as soon as she woke up, so that she could sleep more. I waited for a long time last night and didn't see her come up, I just wanted to squint, thinking that I would wake up when she came in, but I actually slept until dawn, and Lin Yi was speechless.

Gege woke up and quickly freshened up, and walked downstairs happily, just sat down to eat breakfast, and the mobile phone received several email prompts, but I didn't expect several training centers to reply, there really is such a dog, Gege is so happy that he almost flies.

She quickly called Xiao Xiao and Lu Yichen, and wanted to ask them to go to the training center together in the afternoon to have a look, and implement the dog's appearance. Xiao Xiao agreed very neatly, and asked Gege if she wanted to come out for breakfast, she found a local super delicious brunch (gourmet brunch), Gege looked at Lin Yi's prepared breakfast and declined.

then called Lu Yichen, but he didn't wake up at all when he picked up the phone.

"What time is it, why are you up so early?" Lu Yichen got up full of anger.

"It's half past nine, and there will be classes in a while, don't you know?" Gege wondered, this is not early, although it is close, but you also have to freshen up and eat breakfast or something, it should have been up a long time ago.

"You're a boyfriend yourself, can't you be considerate of me, a person who has just gotten back together with a girlfriend? I was very tired last night. Lu Yichen obviously had something to say.

It's cheap! This was Gege's heart, but she didn't say it but heard Lu Yichen on the other end of the phone make a painful sound. Then I heard Lu Yichen's voice begging for mercy, "Pain, pain, pain!" Baby, I was wrong!! "Hahaha, most of the time I was taught a lesson by Vivian, and I cleaned it up well!

Gege really didn't want to talk nonsense with Lu Yichen, he was so open-mouthed, he didn't know what lotus flowers he could spit out. Hastily made an appointment, and after today's class was over, the three of them went to the training center to have a look. Classes end at 2 o'clock during the day, so leave a little time to buy a quick snack to eat in the car, and you should be able to get to the center by 3 o'clock. was just about to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Lu Yichen.

"Oh, by the way, I thought about something yesterday, and I thought I'd tell you today." Lu Yichen's tone sounded much more sober.

"You say." It's better to get down to business, if he talks nonsense again, Gege will definitely not spare him.

"You may not know, but as long as these sports competitions in the United States are formal occasions, a relevant person will be invited to sing the national anthem before the opening, and then the audience will stand up, and after the singing, the military will be invited to stand and accept the salute. This is the rule, and I think that since our project is quite formal and is carried out on a formal ice hockey rink, this link should also be considered from the perspective of process. "Lu Yichen is a frequent player, so he is familiar with these processes. Gege came to the United States for the first time, and he didn't have the opportunity to watch official sports events, so he must not have known it.

(Author's note: Aside from international competitions and the Olympics, the favorite to sing the national anthem is probably the professional sports leagues of the United States.) The first to introduce the national anthem into sports was MLB (Major League Baseball). In 1918, when the United States was embroiled in World War I, MLB played the national anthem at the World Series to inspire people. By the time of World War II, this practice was generally accepted by major professional sports leagues. Now, it's a professional league, the NCAA, and high school, and it can be said that the national anthem is sung before sports competitions at all levels.

Of course, it is inevitable that the national anthem will be monotonous all the time, so the event organizers will think of some tricks to change the taste, such as asking singers to lead the singing (Jordan's retirement game invited superstar Mariah Carey, who sang the national anthem at the beginning, and sang a song hero at halftime, and the audience, including Jordan himself, were sung and cried), or changed the accompaniment and style of the national anthem (such as the rock version of the national anthem).

The national anthem is often sung in the U.S. sports league with elements such as the honor guard of the national flag and the soldiers returning from the front, so the veterans are especially respected. Often, after the national anthem is sung, the veterans and active-duty soldiers present are invited to stand and receive applause, and the scene is very touching, and the author himself is very moved no matter how many times he has passed through such occasions.

At the same time, the audience will put their right hands on their chests when they stand up and sing the national anthem, and the audience will often cheer God bless America (God bless America) after the song. In short, it's a very ceremonial thing.

In addition, the author adds a trivia that the national anthem of the United States is called The Star-Spangled Banner, which is correctly translated as "Star-Spangled Banner", but for various reasons, it is now often translated as "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls" in China. This translation makes the song the same name as the American national march "The Star and Stripes Forever" and does not match the original English meaning, but it is still widely used. A lot of people confuse these two songs.

And the American national anthem consists of four stanzas, and only the first stanza is sung on most occasions, I hope you like the little knowledge added by the author. οΌ‰

Lu Yichen was also very interested in thinking of this detail, of course Gege didn't know.
