Well, dad, my dream is to be a great soldier and defend our country.
But being a soldier is hard and dangerous. You should go study, find a good job, marry a beautiful wife, and live a better life.
Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Tangleh continued to bluff. Dad, please don't destroy my dream, okay? But there's a big difference between dream and reality. Reality is cruel!
Yes! Please listen to me first, dad. There's nothing wrong with being a soldier. Besides, the salary of a soldier isn't low. It's almost the same as the salary of a white-collar worker in a small company.
Besides, I'll stay in the army for a few years. With my ability, I'll be able to study in school for a few years. When I graduate, I can become an officer. An officer, father, can lead troops. My salary will also increase several times. You don't agree to me being a soldier because you're afraid of war, right?
You don't have to worry about this. The elite troops in the country have all been transferred to Western Europe to guard against the Black Empire. There's no big war to fight now. There won't be any danger in being a soldier. In other words, it's quite safe.
Your analysis makes sense. Alright, I agree to you joining the army. Thank you, dad. Tangleh said happily. Don't thank me. This is your dream. You should be the one to realize it. Seeing the old man nod, Tangleh finally breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Benshan's big bluff seemed to be very useful. Returning to his room, Tangleh had to practice a skill in addition to his usual items. Voice change.
The so-called voice change was when a man's voice became a woman's voice.
This skill was learned by Tangleh from the TV show Walk of Fame. When Tangleh first saw a man singing a woman's voice, he was shocked. After the shock, he became obsessed. In order to learn this skill, Tangleh went around looking for masters. Hard work paid off. Under Tangleh's hard work, he finally learned this skill.
After coming to this world, in order not to forget, Tangleh would practice it whenever he had time. In fact, Tangleh had his own reason for practicing this. He planned to change his voice to a woman's voice on special occasions to confuse others.
At the 1959 graduation party of Mitras Vocational High School in California, Tangleh wore a well-ironed black tuxedo and sat in the crowd, chatting with his classmates.
Even though they were chatting, this fellow's mouth did not stop for even a moment. Fruits, desserts, milk, anything delicious was stuffed into his mouth non-stop. As for desserts, he specifically looked for cream cakes, cream biscuits, and fruit cakes to eat. He did not even spare a glance at the other ordinary biscuits and cakes. He was even more picky when it came to fruits, specifically looking for nutritious and tasty blueberries, cherries, wax apples, pineapples, cranberries. To be honest, he had never eaten such rich and delicious food in his previous life.
In particular, he had never seen the Pineapple Berry Tangleh in the fruit buffet, let alone eaten it. The pineapple berry looked very similar to a strawberry, but its flesh was milky white, and its surface was evenly distributed with small red pineapple berry dots, which was the same genetic composition as a strawberry. However, it tasted surprisingly similar to pineapple. The taste was so good that Tang Lei, who was so satisfied, ate 40 pineapple berries in one go, which stunned the students beside him.
Roland, didn't you have dinner? A female student sitting next to Tangleh asked.
After eating, Tang Lei responded without turning his head. Since you've already eaten, why are you still here … After saying that, she pointed to the thing in Tangleh's hand. Ah, this is because my family is not well off. After saying that, Tangleh smiled awkwardly. What does a poor family have to do with this!
Oh, you don't know, this is a big deal. My family is not well off, so I usually eat until I'm full. It's rare to have so much delicious food today, so I ate a little more.
What kind of nonsense is this? You didn't eat a little more, you ate too much. You're shameless.
The surrounding boys and girls looked at Tangleh with contempt. Tangleh pretended not to see and continued to eat. It had to be said that sometimes you had to be thick-skinned to do some things. If you were not thick-skinned enough, you wouldn't be able to do it. Tangleh didn't stop eating until his stomach was full.
After eating, he lay on the sofa and watched the people dancing on the dance floor. Almost everyone at the graduation party had a partner, only Tangleh sat alone on the side. No one asked Tangleh to dance, so Tangleh was happy to be idle. He didn't know how to dance anyway.
Can a handsome guy dance with you?
Tangleh didn't need to look back to know that it was Lu Si. Why are you still here? I thought you were dancing with a handsome guy in your arms! Well, don't say that. I've been preparing for this ball for two hours. You see, I've even put on my favorite dress, and I've been sitting there for an hour and no one has come to me. I'm so mad.
Lu Si said angrily. You're so beautiful and have a good figure. Why didn't they ask you to dance? Tangleh asked curiously. Isn't this all because of you? Lu Si replied snappily.
Because of me? How did I get involved? My classmates secretly said that I'm with you. In cahoots? We're not robbers, how can we be together?
Brother Roland, what do you think we should do now?
What? I don't know what to do. I don't care. It's all your fault. I want to dance. Brother Roland, I want to dance. Lu Si pulled Tangleh's hair shamelessly.
Ouch, it hurts, it hurts. Stop it, sister Lu Si. I really don't have a choice. Your requirements are too high. Where can I find a handsome guy to dance with you?
I don't care. I want to dance. I want to dance now. He had to say that sometimes women were really unreasonable creatures. They were very powerful when they were shameless and fierce.
Since no one is dancing with me, then you will dance with me. Ah … You want me to dance. Tangleh pointed to himself. It's not who you are. But I … Let's go. Lu Si pulled Tangleh up from the sofa. Lu Si, Lu Si, I really don't know how to dance.
If you don't, it's okay. I'll teach you. Tangleh wanted to break free from Lu Si's hand, but Lu Si held on tightly. Tangleh had to follow obediently. At this time, the dance floor was playing a waltz. Coming to the dance floor, Lu Si pressed her hand on Tangleh's shoulder. You hold my hand and follow my movements. You follow my steps. When I tell you to kick, you kick. When I tell you to go up, you go up. When I tell you to go down, you go down. Do you understand?
Yes, Tangleh replied.
