Chapter 114: Music
Yuan Dou held Xinlan, Xinlan held Qiuqiu, and Lian Yan and Ye Xi followed behind. In the afterglow of the setting sun, this scene is extraordinarily harmonious and warm.
When the sky gradually darkens, there is not much time left in the day, but Xinlan's birthday is not over yet, and there is still a singing session waiting for Xinlan. On the way to the song hall, Yuan Dou took back the birthday cake that had been ordered by the way, and according to Xinlan's impatience, everyone came to an elegant song hall.
Yuan Dou had booked a large box in advance, but Yuan Dou didn't know the specific situation. But when the group walked into the box under the guidance of the robot waiter, looking at the exquisite decoration and warm atmosphere, Yuan Dou was very satisfied.
After everyone was seated, Yuan Dou stood up, and under Xinlan's expectant gaze, he said, "So, in order to wish our little princess a happy birthday, should we sing a birthday song together first?" Lian Yan and Ye Xi applauded in agreement, and even the ball jumped a few times. However, Xinlan was not happy, and pressed the ball that was beating in his arms, and said, "What, isn't it eating cake?" ”
"Of course, it's a birthday song first, and then a cake." Yuan Dou said as a matter of course.
"Okay, Xinlan is waiting." Xinlan said with a puffed face.
At this time, Yuan Dou took out the cake, unpacked it, inserted nine candles, and lit them one by one. Everyone sat around the cake, and then Yuan Dou turned off the lights in the room. The lights went out, and only the faces of the people could be seen through the yellow-orange candle flames. At this time, as Yuan Dou started, a song that had celebrated countless people's birthdays sounded. Xinlan was silent, looking at the people swaying with the song in the firelight, she felt very warm, and couldn't help but sing along with everyone. In the singing, Xinlan grew up by a year.
It didn't take long for a short birthday song to finish. At this time, everyone looked at Xinlan, and then said in unison, "Xinlan, I wish you a happy birthday." The sudden blessing made Xinlan startled, but after reacting, she was happy without flashing tears.
"Come on, close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out all the candles in one go." Yuan Dou said.
Xinlan knew that only by blowing out the candle that she said in one breath could she make her wish come true, so she nodded and closed her eyes. Then I silently made a wish in my heart, a simple and warm wish. Then Xinlan took a deep breath and blew out the candles one by one. However, Xiao Xinlan didn't seem to know how to control it, leaving the last candle unblew. At this moment, Yuan Dou and Lian Yan Yexi secretly helped Xinlan blow out the candles. Xinlan jumped up happily and said, "Great, my wish can come true." ”
The candles are blown out and the room is plunged into darkness, after which Mototo turns on the wall lamp in the room and regains the light.
Looking at the cake on the table, Xinlan said to Yuan Dou, "Brother Yuan Dou, can you eat the cake now?" ”
"Of course." Yuan Dou said.
Xinlan tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Xinlan wants to cut the cake, and Xinlan wants to share the cake with everyone." ”
"Xinlan is so good!" Lian Yan said. Then he handed the plastic knife to Xinlan's hand, and at the same time held Xinlan's little hand and said, "Sister Lian Yan, can you help you?" ”
"Hmm!" Xinlan nodded.
According to Xinlan's meaning, Lian Yan held Xinlan's little hand and cut the cake into five parts, each with a big strawberry on it. When Yuan Dou got his share, he looked at Xinlan's favorite strawberry on the cake, and inadvertently sighed that Xinlan had grown up.
"Xinlan loves strawberries, is it okay for Xinlan to give this strawberry of mine?" Ye Xi said.
"Hmm~~~" Xinlan shook her head, "One person, Xinlan is happier." Everyone laughed when they heard Xinlan's words.
Looking at the fact that there was still a piece of cake on the table, Yuan Dou said, "There is another piece here, who is Xinlan going to give it to?" ”
Xinlan hurriedly protected the cake and said, "Give Qiuqiu at this time." After saying that, he picked up the cake and put it in front of Qiuqiu. In the eyes of everyone, Qiuqiu flashed his smart eyes, stretched out his short hands, hugged the cake in front of him, and then ate it in small bites. It didn't take long for the cake in Qiuqiu's hand to be eaten, but the top strawberry was left uneaten. At this time, Qiuqiu held the strawberry and handed it to Xinlan, meaning to give Xinlan the same.
Seeing this, Xinlan stretched out her cute tongue, licked her lips, and said, "Qiuqiu is so good, since Qiuqiu doesn't like to eat strawberries, then this strawberry is Xinlan's." Seeing Xinlan's appearance, Lian Yan took the lead in laughing, and Yuan Dou noticed Qiuqiu's wisdom at this time, and he was a little worried.
After the cake is eaten, the next step is the singing, but first dinner needs to be solved. Yuan Dou called the waiter and explained a few times. It didn't take long for the waiter to push a cart of food, and the fruit snacks filled the whole table, which was everyone's dinner. It would be a bit late to come after dinner, so after discussion, we decided to replace dinner with these. Isn't it nice to sing along with a snack?
Times are advancing, but the love for music remains the same, and all kinds of melodies are circulating in the galaxy. But the most popular ones are the ones that are deeply emotional and soothing. The progress of civilization and the popularization of intelligence are normal for higher civilizations. But no matter what civilization it is, while science and technology are advancing, it has not abandoned those literary and artistic inheritances, because those things are the label of civilization and the proof that it is different from other civilizations.
Therefore, everyone on Earth will be exposed to extraterrestrial music to a greater or lesser extent, but for earthlings, the favorite is their own music. The Great War has made many things die, but the music has been passed on and has not lost much. At this time, most of the songs they sang were nostalgic music, from songs on Earth before joining the Galactic Alliance. Modern music, blended with alien sounds, is a bit too colorful and has lost its flavor. Therefore, most of this music is only for recreation. More people on earth prefer those nostalgic music, on the one hand, because of the cultural inheritance, which has been taught in schools, and on the other hand, they can find themselves in these music.
Most of the songs they rap now are earth music, and only a few songs are covered by alien music. It is worth mentioning that among the several people, the best singing is not Lian Yan, not Ye Xi, not Xinlan, but Yuan Dou. Yuan Dou's voice singing these nostalgic songs was very tasteful, which made Lian Yan and Ye Xi sigh to themselves. But on the other hand, the popular song Yuan Dou in the galaxy doesn't have much flavor when sung.
After singing another song, Yuan Dou handed the microphone to Lian Yan. Lian Yan's eyebrows were raised high, and she looked at Yuan Dou and said, "I didn't expect you to sing so well?" ”
Yuan Dou was full of energy and said, "Where is it, it is average." ”
"Third in the world?" Ye Xi said.
"Ye Xi's words won my heart." Yuan Dou said.
"Virtue~!"
