"Hey -" Roland sighed, "I can't tell stories."
"Just tell me whatever you want." Xiaolan blinked and begged, "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. They used to tell me stories."
Roland said helplessly: "Okay, let me just tell you one thing."
"Yeah!" Xiaolan closed her eyes happily.
"Once upon a time, there was a group of people who kept many little ducks in captivity. Those little ducks lived happily every day, until one day, one of the little black ducks suddenly discovered that he was not free, but was kept in captivity by humans. , so it yelled and wanted to escape.
But when it was discovered by humans, humans began to play tricks on it. Every time it felt that it had run far away, people would catch it and put it back to where it started.
In this way, the little black duck thought he had run very far, but in fact he did not escape from the duck pen at all.
Until one day, the little black duck met a duck with colorful feathers all over its body. The little black duck told the little colorful duck his thoughts, and then it had a partner.
Later, the little colorful duck said that he had a plan to escape from the duck pen.
The little black duck was very happy and asked him what his plan was.
Little Cai Ya said..."
"No, sister! It's on fire!" Fang Xiaoling ran over, interrupted Roland's story, and shouted, "There's a fire in the basement, come and see!"
"What?" Roland stood up nervously.
"Wait a minute, sister! Please bring Xiaolan over. The whole ship is in danger now. I'm afraid the flames will come up!" Fang Xiaoling turned around and ran away.
Roland picked up Xiaolan and followed him.
"Da Roland, if the boat catches fire, will we be eaten by a big shark?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Roland followed Fang Xiaoling nervously, "Why did it suddenly catch on fire?"
Fang Xiaoling pushed open the basement door, pointed and said, "Because Li Mengling lit the candle."
Li Mengling held the cake in her hand, standing in the basement decorated with lanterns, flowers, dolls and balloons, and said with a smile: "Sister Luo Lan, Xiaolan, happy birthday!"
"What...are you doing?" Roland looked at the two-layered cake in shock. The gray cream was spread unevenly, and the pits looked like cement that had been stepped on.
"Did you forget? It's past 0 o'clock now, and today is November 11th." After Fang Xiaoling finished speaking, she looked at Xiaolan again, "It's your two birthdays. In order to make a birthday cake for you two, Meng and I Ling put in a lot of effort."
"But this cake is so ugly..." Xiaolan picked up a rainbow unicorn doll from the ground, walked to the cake and looked at it, "Why is it gray?"
Fang Xiaoling waved her hand and said: "No, no, no, originally we wanted to make it black and white, but when we mixed it up, it turned into gray, but the taste is the same!"
"No wonder your storage space is full." Roland looked at the dolls piled in the room, "What are you doing? I'm not a child, so I'm not celebrating my birthday."
"Come on." Fang Xiaoling pulled Roland to the cake, started clapping her hands and singing, "Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you..."
Xiaolan instantly entered the atmosphere, clapped her hands and sang along, "Happy birthday to me..."
After the song ended, Fang Xiaoling said: "You two, you can make a wish!"
"How can two people make a wish on a cake..." Roland said uninterested, "I'll give her the chance."
"No, Sister Luo Lan, isn't this a two-layer cake? You and Xiaolan can each have one layer?" Li Mengling advised, "We worked really hard to make this cake!"
"No." Roland crossed his arms and refused, "After I turned sixteen, I have never made any wishes to God."
"Why?"
Several people looked at Roland in confusion.
Roland's eyes reflected the burning flames on the candles, and she said slowly: "Will you make a wish to your enemies?"
The atmosphere instantly solidified.
Fortunately, Xiaolan didn't understand what they were talking about, and jumped up and shouted: "Put the cake lower! I want to make a wish!"
Li Mengling lowered the cake.
I saw Xiaolan closing her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes again and blew out the candles. "You can eat the cake!"
Li Mengling put the cake on the table, "Xiaolan, what wish did you make?"
"It won't work if you say it!" Xiaolan stared at the cake eagerly, "Let's eat it!"
Li Mengling cut the cake and gave it to them, but Roland refused to eat it, "You deserve to gain weight if you eat sweets so late."
"Oh, I'm so happy today!" Fang Xiaoling pressed a button in the corner, and the entire basement suddenly flashed with colorful ambient lights. She took out the microphone from a pile of dolls, "Sister, you don't have to eat the cake, then Just sing one for all of us?”
"I can't sing."
"You can't sing?" Fang Xiaoling put the microphone into Roland's hand, and at the same time, the speakers that had been arranged around played BGM, "Familiar, right? This is a song you created in your mind when you were a child. Sister, I know You are a musical genius, hurry up and start!”
"This..." Roland listened to this familiar melody, and her heart was about to move. After so many years, she often thought of this song in her mind, but she had never sung it, "Xiaoling, how do you know this song?" of?"
"Of course it was through the realm of [Purple Rhythm]." Fang Xiaoling did not tell the truth. This song was actually told to her by Roland, the little princess of the Starlight Realm. She had hired professional musicians to make the BGM before going to sea. .
"What reason do I need to be happy, what details do I need to be happy?" Fang Xiaoling took the lead in singing, "If it were you~ I really have doubts..."
Roland hummed unconsciously: "That's just because~that's just because! Today is really beautiful..."
The few of them played like this until the morning, with wine bottles scattered all over the floor, and Xiaolan sleeping among the dolls with a rainbow unicorn in her arms.
Roland was lying on the sofa and fell asleep, while Li Mengling was lying on the floor.
Everyone had smiles on their lips, as if they were in a sweet dream.
Only Fang Xiaoling sat on the deck of the bow, looking at the sunrise rising little by little at the end of the sea.
During the birthday party, she left for a while on the excuse of going to the bathroom. Taking advantage of that time, she secretly entered the realm of [Purple Rhyme] and asked Xiaolan about her birthday wishes.
She originally thought that no matter what her wish was, she would help Xiaolan realize it.
After all, that was Roland's wish when he was a child.
But in the realm of [Purple Rhyme], Xiaolan said: "If possible, I hope that my parents can come back early on my seventh birthday..."
Fang Xiaoling looked at the sunrise in the distance, the lyrics of "Today is beautiful" still echoing in her mind, when the sun shone all over her body.
She slowly stood up, put on a white cloak with seven-color flowers printed on it, and grabbed a belt from the air.
Happy birthday to me...hehe
