What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Latest website: On October 3, Tang Baona returned to Shen Hai’s parents’ home.

On the one hand, she is coming back to attend a relative's wedding. On the other hand, tomorrow is October 4th. Her parents, sister, and brother-in-law want to celebrate her birthday and have a meal together.

At the end of September, Xiang Kun held a "big show" in Chongyun Village in the name of celebrating her birthday in advance. The surprise was indeed pleasant, but it was also filled with questions.

But after that day, she never saw Xiang Kun!

Originally, she was eagerly waiting for Xiang Kun to come back that night or the next day and ask carefully about the lightning storm in the mountains, how the fireworks were made, and whether it was some new technology he had secretly made. , naked-eye 3D or something?

As a result, Xiang Kun never came back! I just sent a message in the group saying that I suddenly had something to do and went on a business trip!

What a business trip! Isn't it true that Yang Laosan is watching the company's affairs in Pengcheng?

But Tang Baona was too embarrassed to keep asking questions like Yang Laosan, so she sent the message to Kun in the group. Yang Laosan really didn't raise any objections this time.

Before returning to Shenhai this time, Yang Laosan had already brought Liu Shiling, a new primary school student who was on National Day holiday, to Chongyun Village.

Originally, Tang Baona wanted to ask Yang Laosan to go back with her, or she could bring Little Bell, Little Apple, and Lao Xia with her, so that they could all have fun together. After she finishes attending the wedding, everyone can play together in Shenhai for a few more days. Anyway, the little chubby girl will have a long vacation and school will not start again until the 9th.

But what she didn't expect was that Yang Laosan, who had thought he would definitely go back with her, was the first to express his intention to stay, and then Little Apple, Little Lingdang, and Lao Xia also didn't want to go to Shenhai.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone had specially prepared a birthday party for her to celebrate her birthday in advance that night, she would have been a little lonely and cold.

However, instead of taking charge of the chef, the Chongyun Village cooking team, headed by Yang Laosan and Lao Xia, and assisted by Xiao Pangniu and Xiao Pingguo, the dishes they cooked are really a bit unflattering. If it weren't for a few "Youlong" With the food delivered by the restaurant, their "dinner party" probably wouldn't be full.

But the process of cooking was still very joyful. Little Fatty and Little Apple wiped flour on each other's faces. Yang Zhener and Lao Xia each studied a dark dish and made a bet. Who would Whoever finishes the meal first wins.

Even Tang Baona herself made several "turtle dumplings", "puppy dumplings" and "tiger dumplings".

There are even "golden sparkling dumplings" and "egg yolk pie dumplings". Of course, when it's cooked in the end, it's all a weird looking mess. But if you cook it yourself, it’s not very difficult to eat.

However, the four of them worked together and managed to come up with some barely edible dishes. Unlike last Christmas Eve when everyone had a dinner together, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener originally planned to go all out and prepare a table of delicacies to entertain everyone. In the end, the ingredients ran away, and I didn't even know how to add them to the pot. Xiang Kun took over and turned the tide.

Although Xiang Kun was not here today, his birthday gift was prepared in advance. It was a wooden bracelet. If you look carefully, you can see that each wooden bead made of ebony is engraved with complicated patterns. On each pattern, the protagonist is a Q version of Tang Baona wearing armor, holding a big sword, wearing round glasses, twin ponytails and a chubby face.

Some are Q version Tang Baona fighting against monsters, some are Q version Tang Baona dozing with a big bubble on her nose and wrapped in a big quilt, some are Q version Tang Baona teaching the Q version chubby girl how to draw, and some are Q version Tang Baona holding a baby There are big meaty buns being chewed, and some of them are the Q version of Tang Baona singing intoxicatedly with her eyes closed and holding a microphone...

Although the surface space of each wooden bead is not large, it is round, and holes must be left for stringing, Xiang Kun still carves the story of each wooden bead to be very full and round, with in-depth details. However, it would be more difficult to see without a magnifying glass.

Tang Baona liked this bracelet very much. She put it on her hand, gently turned the wooden beads, squinted her eyes and slowly looked at the paintings on it. She could read it for half an hour and still enjoy it, and when she saw the happy place, she would also I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The little fat girl was also extremely envious of the bracelet. When Tang Baona was opening the gift, when she stood at the table and saw the pattern carved on the wooden beads of the bracelet, her eyes were filled with the words "I want it too". Of course, she knew that this was a birthday gift from the bald uncle to his beautiful sister, and she couldn't take it, but she had already decided in her heart that she would also apply for a similar birthday gift from the bald uncle on her birthday!

What surprised Tang Baona even more was that when she got on the flight back to Shenhai, she closed her eyes and played with the wooden beads on her wrist. She suddenly felt something in her heart and had the ability to sense other people. The emotion represents the feeling of the melody, and it is very clear which person is around, how far away, and what they look like.

This feeling is a little weaker than when I was with Xiang Kun, but it is very clear and certain. And she can even decide for herself whether she wants to sense the emotional melody of other people or the melody of the objects around her, as if there is something mixed around to help her locate the melody of the objects.

In addition to discussing the details of various melodies with Little Apple in the past few days and analyzing the way Little Apple determines the reference of these melodies, Tang Baona has become more comfortable in understanding and controlling the melodies of items, and no longer feels that the melodies of various items are mixed together. It's a headache and very noisy, but I can actively mix them together, and then use different instruments to perform and play together in my mind, as if I am conducting a super large symphony performance, which is very exciting.

When this comprehensive interpretation was combined, she found that her melody was no longer the expression of a single object, but the expression of the entire space, including the environment of the aircraft cabin, the advertisements on various electronic screens, sleeping passengers, There are lovers whispering and wearing the same pair of headphones, there is a flight attendant pushing a car, there are clouds outside the window, there is the wind outside the window, there are some people's joy, there are some people's pain, she just By closing your eyes and relying on your senses, you can "brain-fill" the surrounding environment in this melodic way.

She could even imagine herself transforming into a whole airplane, soaring in the sky, going against the wind and passing through the clouds, she was so happy.

When the plane landed, she had already arranged a symphony in her mind. When she opened her eyes, she immediately looked at the ebony bracelet on her wrist.

She was sure that the reason why she suddenly regained her ability to perceive melody on the plane was not because Xiang Kun was hiding on the plane, but because of the bracelet Xiang Kun gave her!

This bracelet is like a miniature Xiang Kun, or an antenna... No, it can't be said to be an antenna. The antenna is a passive reception, but she can actively explore various melody perceptions around her, and she can choose to perceive other people's. Emotions, a specific person's emotions, and you can also choose to perceive the melody of an object and the specific location of the object.

Well, it should be said that it is like a radio, which can receive signals and can also adjust frequency.

When Tang Baona walked out of the airport, she was playing with the beads in her hands and thinking about the significance of Xiang Kun's birthday gift to her.

If the "function" of this bead string comes from Xiang Kun's deliberate arrangement, it proves that Xiang Kun already knows her previous ability to perceive emotions and objects through melody - it is even possible that this ability also comes from Xiang Kun's arrangement!

Thinking about the lightning storm and the gorgeous fireworks show in the mountains where Xiang Kun wished her a happy birthday a few nights ago, Tang Baona suddenly realized that Xiang Kun was holding her hand and taking her into a new and colorful world. world, and the curtain in front of the new world is about to be lifted.

Tang Baona was a little worried and a little expectant. Although she was quite reserved and calm on the surface, deep down in her heart, the middle school girl with twin tails had already begun to cheer for joy.

…

"Nana, how does this plate of roast chicken that mom makes taste?"

At the dining table, Tang Baona's mother watched her daughter finish a piece of roasted pork leg and asked quickly: "I have improved this recipe and cooking method. Your father and Tingting have both tasted it and think it is better than what I used to do." Everything is delicious!”

Tang Baona also nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's delicious!"

"Then... how does it compare with what Xiang Kun did?" Tang's mother continued to ask.

"Ah?" Tang Baona was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to ask such a question. Although the roast chicken cooked by her mother did taste much better than before, compared with the dishes made by "Chef Xiang", it still seemed to be the same. few. After all, "Chef Xiang"...is "Chef Xiang".

"I always hear you, Tingting, Xiao Gao, and the girls from the Yang family saying that Xiang Kun's food is very delicious. You often eat other people's food, so I just want to see what I have, which is a unique dish that I spent a month and a half researching on. Can the roast chicken beat that Xiang Kun?" Tang's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing halfway through her words.

Tang Baoting immediately answered: "That must be possible! Mom, you have made this roast chicken that is better than having chicken without chicken. The chicken is like beef. It is fragrant in one bite, sweet in two bites, and refreshing in three bites! It is definitely better than Xiang Kun's. It tastes so much better!”

Mother Tang smiled and patted her eldest daughter on the shoulder: "How can you learn so many jingles and master them all? Go ahead, I asked Nana, not you."

Tang Baoting covered her shoulders and said with a sad face: "Mom! You don't love me anymore, you are partial, you only love Nana!"

"Why are you suddenly possessed by the drama spirit again? That's enough for you. Today is Nana's birthday. Of course I have to ask Nana." Tang's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tang Baona was also amused by her sister and kept laughing. Then she nodded repeatedly: "I'm sure mom's cooking is delicious. For sure, absolutely. If you don't believe me, ask your brother-in-law. He is the most honest and never lies!"

Gao Yao, who was happily watching his fiancée playing tricks and "civil war in the Tang family" while eating chicken, was startled when he found that the eyes of the other four people at the dinner table were focused on him. He almost choked. After coughing a few times, he heard The mother-in-law-to-be's gentle voice said: "Xiao Gao, you have also eaten Xiang Kun's cooking. Come on, tell me, how does this plate of roast chicken compare with Xiang Kun's cooking?"

"Well... Xiang Kun doesn't seem to have cooked roast chicken before. He mainly uses rabbit meat as an ingredient..." Gao Yao said halfway, his speaking speed suddenly became rapid: "But even if it is rabbit meat, which he is best at, he will definitely It’s not as good as mom’s roast chicken, the roast chicken is delicious! Much more delicious!”

Tang Baoting immediately said: "Mom, look, Gao Yao also said the same, which proves that he is right! He is an honest person and never lies!"

Tang's mother laughed: "Okay, okay, you guys just work together to make me happy." But even though she said that, she was happy in her heart.

After continuing to eat, Tang Baona picked up the serving chopsticks from time to time and served food to her father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law, because she suddenly discovered that she could accurately judge based on the emotional melody she sensed in her family. Their status, what they want to do next, such as what dish they want to eat.

So every time someone took a few bites of the food on the plate, as soon as they looked up and before picking up their own chopsticks, Tang Baona immediately judged their intention, and then accurately reached out to pick up the food with the serving chopsticks and helped them finish the job. action. Bao Ting was thirsty and prepared to pour more drinks, and Tang Baona was always one step ahead to fill her cup.

Suddenly discovering this ability to predict, Tang Baona herself was very interested and started to play.

But the other four people at the table obviously noticed the abnormality. Tang Baoting couldn't help but said: "Nana, you have been hanging out with Lao Xia during this time. Have you learned any psychological tricks? For example, wechat Expressions, micro-movements, etc.? Can you tell which dish I want to pick up and what I want to eat?"

"Ah?" Tang Baona also realized that she was addicted to the prediction ability of experiments and got a little carried away, so she laughed twice and pushed it to Lao Xia: "Yes, yes, I learned it from Lao Xia."

Gao Yao couldn't help but asked curiously: "How do you judge it specifically? You just gave me the piece of fish, and it happened to be the piece I wanted to eat the most, but I remember that I didn't look at the plate at that time."

Tang Baona was stunned, "You can't say that the melody played by your emotions just now guided me to get that piece of meat, right?" She had no choice but to say: "This is Lao Xia's unique skill. It is a secret and cannot be revealed casually!"

"It's good, it's good. Girls know how to watch what they say and won't be fooled. They can also make people feel considerate, gentle and considerate. Haha, you should also behave well when you meet your parents-in-law in the future. By the way, Nana, How's the situation between you and Xiang Kun?" Tang's mother followed these words and suddenly turned to a topic that made Tang Baona a little flustered.

"Ah? Mom, why are you asking this suddenly? Xiang Kun and I are very good. Our company is very powerful now. Didn't I post a game in the group last time? That game was made by us. It's super fun! Mom, Have you ever played?" Tang Baona turned the steering wheel wildly and changed the subject.

"Your sister often praises Xiang Kun to me, and I heard your grandpa mention him as a pretty good guy." Mother Tang was not disturbed at all, and looked at Tang Baona's left wrist: "By the way, this is Xiang Kun. Kun gave it to you, right? Did he make it himself? "

Tang Baona was subconsciously playing with the beads on her wrist and froze: "Mom, how did you know?" Xiang Kun gave her this bracelet. Except for Yang Laosan, Xiao Lingdang, Little Apple, and Lao Xia, no one else should know about it. Yeah, she hasn't mentioned it to her family yet.
