Just when Murphy was secretly surprised that Yang Yi really learned how to play the guitar, Yang Yi had already started his singing.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you …"
When the first line was sung, Murphy was a little surprised. There was also a birthday song in this world, but it wasn't sung like this. The expression was a bit implicit, a bit like the kind of "I wish you good fortune and longevity" in the old Cantonese songs. It wasn't as straightforward as Yang Yi's.
However, when she heard the second and third lines, Murphy was happy. This Yang Yi, really. Why did he repeat the lyrics?
Yes, the birthday song was so simple. There was only one line of lyrics, and then it was simply repeated. There was only a slight change in the tone.
However, Xi Xi liked this kind of simple repetition. Simplicity was in line with the acceptance of her age. For example, "Let it go." Xi Xi had learned from her father for a long time, but she could only sing the sentence "Let it go."
"… Happy birthday." After repeating it a few times, Xi Xi could clap her small hands and hum with a smile.
Yang Yi's interest was piqued. She repeated it once and changed it to English lyrics, "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you …"
Murphy was stunned. It was really the first time she heard Yang Yi speak English. Although it was a simple repetition, Yang Yi's pronunciation was very clear.
Especially the pronunciation of the theta in the middle of the phonetic symbol, many people who learned it couldn't pronounce it correctly!
"He also knows English?" Murphy felt that her understanding of Yang Yi had been greatly subverted today.
She didn't doubt that Yang Yi didn't learn English. After all, Yang Yi dropped out of high school to join the army after less than a year. At least, he had taken English classes in junior high school, right?
But Murphy knew that with Yang Yi's disdainful attitude towards English and foreigners, he might have already forgotten how to speak English after so long!
But now Yang Yi was singing an English song, which made Murphy confused.
This series of surprises made Murphy forget to investigate who wrote this song. She had never heard it before!
However, sometimes women would let their imaginations run wild, which was not necessarily a bad thing. Just like Murphy now, she found the answer for Yang Yi herself. "Did he change for me?"
Naturally, she was too embarrassed to ask this question. However, when she thought about how Yang Yi's personality had become better and better over the past two months, Murphy's heart, which was no longer a young girl, started to pound like a little deer.
On the other side, Yang Yi had already finished singing. Xi Xi clapped her little hands happily and cheered, "Nice! Nice! "
Yang Yi smiled and reached out to high-five his daughter to celebrate.
Then he handed the guitar to Murphy. Although Murphy shyly avoided his gaze, Yang Yi did not mind. He smiled and said, "It's your turn!"
When it was Murphy's turn to sing, Murphy was not reserved. She graciously took the guitar, walked valiantly in front of the microphone, and sat down.
"I'll sing a birthday song too!" Murphy looked at Xi Xi and smiled. "This is a song that Mom's Mom used to sing on Mom's birthday! Now Mom is going to sing it for Xi Xi! "
Murphy's string of "Mom" sounded like a jingle, which made Yang Yi suddenly think of the crosstalk routine in his previous life. "A lama came from the east, a mute came from the west, and the lama carried five catties of tarts in his hand …"
In an instant, it was out of character!
"I like listening to Mom's songs!" Xi Xi smiled sweetly. Today was really great. Her parents were all around her, just like the stars surrounding the bright moon!
After a beautiful melody, Murphy softly hummed:
(PS: The lyrics below are partially rewritten by Lin Zhiying's song, "Birthday Present." Everyone, just look at the lyrics ~)
"There's a bouquet of flowers in my heart for my beloved baby. Watered with tears, blooming with smiles, slowly growing up …"
Yang Yi's ears were very sharp. He looked at Murphy with some surprise. She was playing the guitar and singing with Xi Xi with a smile.
Murphy sang really well, but it was very different from her usual singing. She did not insist on using techniques to exaggerate her emotions. Instead, she truly revealed her warmth and sang very naturally!
"I'll accompany you through the sunshine and rain. I'll accompany you through the sadness and sweetness. Now, I'll plant it in your heart forever …"
This kind of warm birthday song was not as straightforward as Yang Yi's singing. Yang Yi even believed that the lyrics were so implicit that Xi Xi might not be able to understand them!
But the melody was very nice. The little girl sat on the chair and smiled foolishly. She shook her head with her mother and clapped her hands to the beat.
"Everyone has a blessing. Every birthday has a gift. My dearest baby, I'll give you the most beautiful blessing and the best gift …"
"No matter how many wishes you have, no matter how many dreams you have, my gift is my heart, accompanying you as you grow up …"
At the end of the song, Xi Xi happily jumped up from the chair. She heard the gift from the beginning to the end, so she cheered and asked, "Then, then where's my birthday present?"
Yang Yi was still immersed in Murphy's sweet singing. This was a rare warm singing style from Murphy until he saw Murphy take out her gift for Xi Xi.
"Wait a minute! You can't open the gift yet! "Yang Yi quickly stopped her.
Sure enough, Yang Yi saw the disappointment in Murphy's eyes. Yang Yi gave her a look. This is a good bet, and you want to steal it!
Murphy turned her head away in a fit of pique.
"Why?" Xi Xi's face was full of joy. She reached out to take the gift, but was stopped. She asked unhappily, "Why can't I open the gift?"
"Because I still want to eat cake!" Yang Yi responded quickly.
"There's still cake?" Xi Xi immediately threw the gift to the back of her mind. Her eyes lit up as she ran to her father and took his hand. "Where is it? Xi Xi wants to eat cake! "
"Dad will bring it over right away!" Yang Yi comforted the little girl and then said to Murphy, "Murphy, turn off the lights."
"Can you not turn off the lights? Xi Xi is scared. "The little girl said at once.
Murphy nodded fiercely. She was scared too!
Yang Yi comforted her helplessly, "Not all the lights, just the headlights. These colorful lights are still on!"
Murphy still shook her head … "Forget it, I'll do it." Yang Yi went to the door and turned off the incandescent light. Then, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Although there were colorful lights flashing in front of the bar counter, like the shining stars in the night sky, and it was very beautiful, Mo Fei and Xixi had no time to appreciate it.
"I'm scared. Where's PaPa?" Xi Xi squeezed into her mother's arms and asked.
Although Murphy was not too scared, she was also looking forward to Yang Yi's appearance. Xi Xi asked her where her father went, but Murphy really did not know. She did not know where Yang Yi would get the cake, so now she could only wait.
Suddenly, a few candlelight flickered in the darkness in front of them. Gradually, under the dim light of the colorful lights, Mo Fei and Xixi both saw a big cake being pushed over on a trolley.
