Chapter 6: The Dance of the Dragon and the Phoenix (6)
When Applejack hears this, she puts down the microphone and walks over with the other four children, opens Wang, and pours it into a wine glass.
Tang Long raised his wine glass, touched the glass with everyone, and drank the beer in the glass. Everyone also drank their glasses of wine or drinks. After drinking, several children took turns singing their favorite songs and were very happy.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone took turns singing songs. Wang Gang ordered a song "Green Flowers in the Army" and "My Old Squad Leader", Sun Dalei ordered a song "We Are Different" and "Brothers", and Tang Long ordered "Zebra" sung by Song Chunye, "Ordinary Road" by Pu Shu and "Hometown" by Xu Wei. Everyone found that Bai Sumei was smiling, sitting on the sofa silently listening to everyone singing, and didn't order a song, so Wang Gang beckoned Ajie, who was sitting next to Bai Sumei to eat fruit, to come over, and whispered a few words to Ajie, Ajie nodded, came to Bai Sumei's face, took Bai Sumei's hand and said:
"Sister Bai Sumei, we all sang, you didn't sing a single one, go and sing! We all want to hear you sing. ”
Bai Sumei looked at Wang Gang, and Wang Gang smiled and nodded at her. Bai Sumei came to the song ordering machine, ordered a song and returned to the sofa. After Li Mo sang "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains", Bai Sumei picked up the microphone on the table and stood up and sang:
"The red dragonfly in the sunset,
Please tell me that I met you in childhood,
What day was that?
Pick up the basket and come to the mountain......"
Her voice was slow and melancholy, very infectious, and at once brought his thoughts back to his childhood. He remembered Dawulei Village, remembered the osmanthus flowers blooming everywhere, remembered Zhengdao Mountain, remembered Wu Youhu, remembered the scene where he and Lin Jiali sat by the lake and sang "Red Dragonfly", he picked up another microphone and sang with Bai Sumei, however, as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that not only Bai Sumei, but his voice was also full of melancholy.
The once cheerful and crisp voice has gone forever with the free childhood.
He looked at Bai Sumei, who was singing with a microphone, and for the first time he noticed that her profile coincided with the image he cherished in his heart, her nose, her lips, and the lines of her chin were all so familiar with that familiar beauty. When he thought that she might be Lin Jiali, his heart was like beer in a wine bottle, leaking down the mouth of the bottle, hitting the glass, sizzling excitedly in the foam that overflowed the mouth.
Bai Sumei turned her head and glanced at him, she might be motioning for him not to stop and sing "Red Dragonfly" together, but through her face, he saw another image of the past. This image was so familiar, so strange, so bright, so dark, full of all his good wishes, and it became his lingering nightmare. He felt his lips tremble, and he could hardly press the heart that kept pounding in his chest, and he almost blurted out the name that he had always cherished in his heart and was rubbed by memory over and over again.
And Bai Sumei's song "Red Dragonfly" had already been sung, she looked at Tang Long and handed him the microphone. He stood up and took her microphone, but instead of singing, he sat next to her and handed the microphone to Wang Gang, who sang a song about Brother Jun.
"Your voice is very loud, you sing well, sing more!" Bai Sumei said to him.
"Really? This is the first time a girl has said that I sing well, thank you for the compliment. ”
"That's the truth, you're welcome!"
"Is your hometown in Hubei?" Tang Long asked expectantly.
"No, my hometown is in Mianyang, Sichuan."
"Growing up in Mianyang since I was a child?"
"Yes, when I was 12 years old and in the first year of junior high school, my family brought me to Shenzhen, and since then, I have been living in Shenzhen, and I only go back to my hometown on holidays."
Tang Long was a little disappointed, but a little unwilling, he said: "I hope to have the opportunity to go to your house to play and taste your mother's cooking." ”
After hearing this, Bai Sumei smiled and said, "I've never brought a boy home, but if you want to try my mother's craft, it's okay." ”
He nodded, picked up his wine glass and drank it with Wang Gang and Sun Dalei.
By the end, the five children were taking turns singing, while the four adults were sipping beer after beer. After a while, Tang Long seemed to be drunk, and he leaned on Bai Sumei's shoulder in a daze, which was very soft, and the familiar smell of osmanthus perfume from her neck socket made him even more drunk. The waiter brought a large cake and cut one for each person. Wang Gang woke Tang Long up, and after everyone ate casually, Bai Sumei called a few reluctant children to take the elevator downstairs together.
As they passed by a bar, there was an angry quarrel. They followed the sound and could see four foreigners, one black and three white, and a girl among the three whites, a tall woman with blond curly hair, wearing a black V-neck skinny T-shirt, sports leggings, silver-gray Xtep jogging shoes, and a Scottish red checkered shirt tied around her waist. She pointed to the nose of one of the bearded foreign men and scolded him loudly in English, very emotional. The two foreign men next to him sat in their chairs and continued to smile and whisper to the sky, unaffected.
"It's the girl who raised the card when you played the game just now." Bai Sumei said.
"How do you know?" Wang Gang asked.
"I'm always observant of my peers."
"This is a matter between foreigners, let's not mix, let's go!" Sun Dalei said.
"I now know that Americans are not only warmongers, but also liars who specialize in cheating on girls' feelings. You have neither culture nor morality. The girl holding the card looked at the foreign man with his cheeks, waved his palm and said loudly.
"you, it's between me and a Chinese girl, what's your business."
"She's my friend, she's very sad now, she hasn't eaten or drunk for two days, do you want her to die?"
"Put away your Russian pungent rudeness, please, it's just a Chinese girl, who cares about this kind of world bus? Right, Pete? He looked at the foreign man sitting next to him with a spherical head and said, "I don't know how many Chinese girls line up every day to date us?" ”
Bai Sumei, who had already walked past them, heard these words, and immediately turned around and walked towards the group of foreigners. The others hurriedly followed.
"I'm ashamed of your white supremacy and ignorant prejudice, this is the land of China, you are not welcome to such foreign garbage, if you don't wipe your mouth clean, I will teach you a lesson for your mother." Bai Sumei heard it, walked up to the foreign man with cheeks and glared at him.
"What do you say? I don't understand, please speak English. The cheeky foreign man frowned and said to Bai Sumei in English.
So Bai Sumei translated the words just now to him aloud in fluent English.
The bearded foreign man immediately stood up and yelled angrily at Bai Sumei, "You dare to scold me? Fuck you, I'm going to give you some color and see. ”
