Chapter 12: Let Me Listen to Your Big Dreams
"Big brother, who are you?"
"I'm just an enthusiastic citizen passing by." Su Mo replied solemnly, "As for the one next to me, his surname is Zhou, you can call him Uncle Zhou." β
"Hey, you're bigger than me!" Zhou Mingrui took the time to turn his head and protest while handing out candy to the children who surrounded him, "Why are you an elder brother, and I will become an uncle!" β
Su Mo smiled and said nothing.
The two little girls in front of him who were holding hands in front of him, one with short ear-length hair and the other with pigtails, were very clean and tidy on the outside.
The curious gaze of the girl with short ear-length hair wandered between Su Mo and Zhou Mingrui, and then she said crisply: "Big brother is good!" And this Uncle Zhouβ"
Zhou Mingrui was shocked.
Could it be that he is really going to be upgraded to an uncle?
"-Hello brother!"
After saying hello, the short-haired little girl showed a sweet smile, but that smile was a little devil-like cunning no matter how you looked at it.
Call.
Zhou Mingrui's heart was put down, fortunately, fortunately, he successfully defended his generation.
But then came another sound:
"Uncle Zhou......"
Why are you still here?? Zhou Mingrui wanted to cry without tears.
This time the voice was very close, coming from the children surrounding him.
Zhou Mingrui followed the prestige, and it was a chubby little boy who shouted "Uncle Zhou".
Seeing him coming, Little Fat Dun hurriedly wanted to make his expression more serious, but within two seconds, his original form was revealed.
"Hehe, just kidding......" he said with a grin, "Brother Zhou, this is for you!" β
Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, and the little fat dun put the things in his hand into his palm.
It was a crystal clear light blue marble, embedded with dark blue ripples like waves, lying quietly on Zhou Mingrui's palm, refracting a dreamlike colorful luster in the sun.
"Brother Zhou, happy birthday!" Chubby Hippie Smiling Face.
"Well, thank you," Zhou Mingrui's eyes softened, and he raised his hand and touched his head, "Happy birthday." β
On the other side, Su Mo put away the two glass candy wrappers he had just gotten and smiled slightly.
After the two cans of candy were distributed, they turned into two tins of shiny little gifts.
At the bottom are stacked with glass marbles of various colors and patterns, then there are beautiful candy wrappers with colorful flowers, and at the top are small stars folded with colorful cardboard, and at the top are a few paper cranes with wings stretched outstretched.
"How does it feel?"
Su Mo raised the shiny gift jar in his hand, tilted his head and half-squinted his eyes, and looked at the sun through it.
"Not bad."
The corners of Zhou Mingrui's mouth turned up, trying to maintain the reserve of his expression, so that the joy and happiness in his heart would not overflow so obviously.
Su Mo lowered his hand a little, stared directly at the gift jar in front of him, and muttered in a somewhat distracted voice, "Crows should prefer shiny things......
"What did you just say?" Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.
"Nothing." Su Mo's expression was as usual, "Let's go eat too." β
The two walked into the cafeteria to settle lunch, and the time came in the afternoon.
"The morning of the birthday party is arranged to make games and watch animations."
Su Mo and Zhou Mingrui walked side by side in the corridor.
Summer introduced him:
"As for the afternoon's schedule, it'sβ"
"I know," Zhou Mingrui replied, "It's a theatrical performance!" β
Su Mo blinked, glanced at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
After all, no matter what type of celebration it is, most of them will end up in the same place, and they can't escape this fixed performance.
"We're going to help move some props now." Su Mo said in a relaxed tone, "The stage for the performance is still a little less than the last setup. β
"Hmm."
Zhou Mingrui smiled and nodded.
"The dean is also waiting for us over there in the small hall."
"Okay."
Zhou Mingrui continued to smile and nodded.
"Just tell her about my show......"
"Didn't askβ"
The smile on Zhou Mingrui's face froze for a moment.
He was silent for two seconds, then cautiously asked, "Yes...... What type of festival? β
Sumer's answer was sonorous:
"Sing!"
β¦β¦
In the small hall of the welfare home, Su Mo and the dean were talking happily, and Zhou Mingrui was on the sidelines wanting to speak and stopping, stopping and wanting to speak.
He probably understood what the ghost crying wolf howl he heard occasionally some time ago was about......
ββ¦β¦ Okay, so I'll go and tune the speaker first. β
Su Mo said, and left the stage alone.
Zhou Mingrui's eyes lit up.
Opportunity!
He took advantage of this to get close to the dean, and said in a low voice, "Dean, do you need to think more about Su Mo's singing program......
"Huh? Why should you consider it? The dean's expression was slightly confused, "I've heard Xiao Mo sing, and it's very good." β
Well?? Good???
Zhou Mingrui was stunned by the dean's sincere and undisguised evaluation, and his eyes were full of despair.
When it's over, how is he going to save the children in the orphanage?
At this moment, the dean said softly: "By the way, Xiao Zhou, I want to discuss something with you......
β¦β¦
In the end, Zhou Mingrui still couldn't prevent Su Mo's singing program from being included in the performance program.
The only thing that made him happy was that Su Mo's show was ranked second-to-last, and he hoped that the children would come to "enjoy" Su Mo's "Voice of Heaven" after watching most of the wonderful performance, leaving a little less psychological shadow......
"Next, Brother Su Mo, who asked everyone to give candy at noon, will bring us a singing program, "Listening to Dreams"!"
The host in front of him reported the curtain in a low voice.
"I'm going!"
Zhou Mingrui heard Su Mo's excited voice beside him, and the expression on his face was almost untensed, so he could only bow his head silently and continue to act as a tool for pulling the curtain backstage.
Su Mo walked to the center of the stage with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him.
The curtain opened, and the light shone on his face, reflecting the dark and clear pupils.
Two loudspeakers in the back of the stage began to play lively and cheerful accompaniment.
As soon as Zhou Mingrui heard the prelude of the song, he raised his face suddenly, and his mouth opened slightly in surprise.
If the title of the song "Listening to Dreams" only made him think about it, then as soon as this prelude came out, it directly made him determine which song Su Mo was going to sing.
Zhou Mingrui's Station B account is a Level 5 user, which means that he doesn't visit Station B for a day or two, and the unit has to use annual calculations.
He once swiped a video related to "Doraemon" on the homepage of station B, titled ""Thank you for being born in 100 years, Doraemon", which is a clip directly intercepted from the original drama "Doraemon's Centennial Time Capsule".
What does this video say...... At least Zhou Mingrui, a male college student in his twenties, saw that his eyes were a little wet.
Because of this, the BGM "Listening to Dreams" that appeared in the climax also left a deep impression on Zhou Mingrui, and even took the initiative to search for the complete song to listen.
Then he was created by the magical singing voice of Doraemon in the main song.
Now, Zhou Mingrui's hands trembled slightly, is this preparing for a strong alliance and a new high? !
In the center of the stage, Su Mo silently counted the beats in the accompaniment, then took a light breath, closed his eyes and began to sing:
"If you can talk to Xiaohua Xiaocao,
"How great that should be~
"I want to soar in the sky or something,
"Leave it to me!
"I want to turn that puffy cloud into a marshmallow,
"Then eat ΰ§κ°β’Μα΄β’Μκ±ΰ¨ in one bite
"Such a thing,
"It ( Μβ½ Μ) can be done
"Wait a minute,
"Let me rummage through the props in the treasure bag~β"
Actually, it's not as ugly as you imagined?
Zhou Mingrui, who was shocked by "Katyusha", opened his eyes wide and stared at Su Mo on the stage in a daze.
Su Mo must have practiced many times in private...... He came up with the idea for some reason.
But Zhou Mingrui's so-called "not unpleasant" is obviously a conclusion reached after comparing with the previous "Katyusha", and for the rest of the audience in the small auditorium, this power is amazing enough.
In the audience, there were already young children sobbing in low voices, but soon there were uncles and aunts from the welfare home, or more sensible brothers and sisters, who patted them on the shoulders with the same trembling hands to comfort them, so it didn't cause much commotion, and it didn't affect Su Mo, who had his eyes closed on the stage.
The magical singing continued to reverberate in the small auditorium.
Zhou Mingrui looked down at the little girl next to him who had just reached his waist, she was the performer of the last show poem recitation, her eyes were full of tears as she stood backstage to receive a close-up impact, and she was covering her mouth tightly with her hands.
Under the cover of singing and accompaniment, Zhou Mingrui could only vaguely hear the little girl's crying self-talk, what can't cry now, can't affect other people's performances......
Zhou Mingrui sighed, squatted down and stretched out his hands to cover her ears, and then looked up at Su Mo in front of him.
When he heard the original song, he knew that the next thing was the main event-
"Yesterday's failures will become the vitamins of the soul,
"It's okay,
"There's a lot more to do tomorrow.
"Because of your presence,
"Let's move forward togetherβ"
Su Mo sang very seriously, and even shouted the last sentence out of the voice.
Zhou Mingrui looked at him deeply, recalling the previous dean's entrustment.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Xiao Zhou, you are the first friend that Xiao Mo brought back to the welfare home, you must be very good friends, I hope you can take more care of him in your daily life......"
Do I take care of Sumer? Su Mo...... Do you need to take care of it?
Zhou Mingrui's mood was a little weird, and a little funny, in the past, it was obvious that he accepted Su Mo's care more.
The dean said: "Xiao Mo's character, if you say it is good, it is decisive, and if you say it is ugly, it is extreme, he is a child who is easy to go to extremes......"
It's true...... Is it?
Zhou Mingrui's strange emotions gradually mixed with more confusion, is the Su Mo mentioned by the dean really the same person as the Su Mo he knew?
Then the dean told Zhou Mingrui something.
On June 1 last year, Su Mo also went back to the welfare home, but he did not attend the birthday party that time, but only sent a sum of money.
"A total of about 240,000 yuan, which is all the savings he has saved over the years of work......"
The dean recounted in a deep voice.
Zhou Mingrui's expression became solemn.
This is the truth about the "moonshine clan with no deposit"?
Finally, the Dean described a snippet that really worried her for Sumer.
"Xiao Mo seemed very shocked when he saw me at that time.
"Yes, shocked, guilty, helpless......
"He gave me the savings and left shortly after.
"It's like a ...... A child who wants to run away after doing something wrong. β
β¦β¦
Su Mo on the stage seemed to devote himself to singing, almost the most serious appearance Zhou Mingrui had ever seen since he met him.
The chorus that enters the end, and the harmony from the children's choir in the accompaniment instantly elevates the bad singing to a level that ordinary people can accept:
"Let me listen to your big dreams. βα΄βq )
"Shout out in your loudest voice!
"Don't forget that dream
"In this way, I will help you make your dream come true~
"Someday, this big dream,
"It will be scattered to every corner of the world.
"Never forget,
"I'm everyone's shining Doraemon~β"
After singing the song "Listening to Dreams", which feels good about himself, Su Mo opened his eyes in anticipation.
Then I saw a lot of chicken feathers......
In the audience, only the dean in the front row still looked calm, and even took the lead in applauding and praised: "Good! Sing beautifully! β
Some of the children who were still holding back their tears, after hearing the dean's applause, couldn't help but cast frightened eyes and cried out with a "wow......
Su Mo's face was gloomy and he floated away.
Zhou Mingrui had the heart to catch up, but had to stay to complete the curtain and end of the last show.
When he came out of the backstage, he found that Su Mo had not gone far and had been standing not far away waiting for him.
At this time, Su Mo's face was not as gloomy as before, but he still seemed to have received a major blow, and his expression was very depressed.
When Zhou Mingrui came to him, Su Mo raised his head and asked very seriously: "Mingrui, is it really hard for me to sing?" β
Zhou Mingrui: ...... How should I answer? Urgent! Online and more!
He really couldn't do the dean of the academy to praise him, which would make him feel his conscience ache.
Zhou Mingrui pondered for a long time, searched his intestines, brainstormed in his mind, and finally found a suitable description.
"Sumer, you sing......" he replied cautiously, "with the style of Doraemon." β
I don't know if it's his delusion, hearing this evaluation, Su Mo's face seems to be even more gray......
