Chapter 37 – Snow White
“Papa, Xixi wants to listen to a story.”
At night, Yang Yi remembered Mo Fei’s instructions and tried to coax the little girl to sleep at about 9 o’clock, but perhaps because she came to her father’s side, Xixi was very excited all day. Now she was wearing a nightdress, barefoot, and trampling about on her father’s big bed.
“All right, Papa will tell you a new fairy tale.” Yang Yi sat beside the bed and smiled. “But Xixi, you have to lie down and be obedient!”
“Um! Xixi will be obedient!” Xi nodded happily, quickly got into bed, and then hugged her teddy bear she had brought from home, and eagerly looked at her father.
Yang Yi sorted out his thoughts and began to say, “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess whose skin was as white as snow. Everyone called her Snow White…”
Yes, Yang Yi is going to tell Snow White’s story. However, this story is not as easy to tell as Frozen, because Yang Yi has never read this story in his previous life. His childhood is only killing, no fairy tale.
So, he can only make up his own story according to the general direction of the plot he learned from different places in his memory.
It seems that the effect is not bad. Xixi was very fascinated. She seemed to have integrated herself into the role.
When the little girl heard that Snow White’s mother had died, there was sadness in her little eyes.
When she heard that Snow White’s stepmother did not like Snow White, she was also very scared and nervous.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most beautiful person in the world?” Pretending to be the queen, Yang Yi raised his hands in front of him as if there were a mirror in front of him. “Because Snow White has grown up and her skin was like snow, she was beautiful like an angel, so the magic mirror replied, “My queen, you are the most beautiful here, but Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you!”
Xixi hasn’t realize the problem yet! Her big eyes show a happily expression and was proud of Snow White’s beauty.
“The queen was shocked. Her face was distorted with jealousy. She could not tolerate others being more beautiful than her!” Yang Yi said in a soft voice, “So the queen ordered a soldier to take Snow White to the distant forest and kill her!”
In the original version of the story, it should have been a hunter, but where would Yang Yi know these details, so the soldier came in handy.
“No, Xixi doesn’t want Snow White to die.” The little girl took her father’s hand and said in a panic.
“Silly, how could Snow White die?” Yang Yi calmed his daughter and said with a smile, “Snow White is so lovely and beautiful, the soldier can’t bear to do it. So, he let Snow White go, and then he killed a pig and took the pig’s heart back to tell the queen that Snow White is dead.”
Xixi was relieved, and under the tension, the little girl was a little tired!
The story is still very long. Slowly, after Yang Yi said that Snow White, who died of eating a poisoned apple, was rescued by the prince riding a white horse, Xixi, who was nervous for a long time, finally couldn’t bear her sleepiness, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Yang Yi looked at his daughter for a while before he smiled, tucked Xixi in, and quietly went out.
…….
Outside, Guo Ziyi was sighing on the balcony! Today the weather is a bit cloudy, the moon can’t be seen, and the sky is dark, making the atmosphere more depressing and difficult to sleep.
Yang Yi came over and sat next to Guo Ziyi, thinking about what to say.
The little fatty opened his mouth first: “Big Brother Yang, I want to drink.”
Yang Yi looked at the somewhat dispirited little fatty. He nodded silently, went back to the kitchen, mixed a large plate of sweet and sour peanuts, and then pulled a dozen beers out from the refrigerator.
When he bought the beers, Yang Yi had no intention to drink it. He didn’t like drinking alcohol. Even if he wanted to drink, he would drink red wine. These beers were only used for seasoning and stir-frying, such as braised duck in beer, steamed eggs in beer, and so on. They were delicious.
He didn’t think it would come in handy now!
“Come on, I’ll drink with you!” Yang Yi opened two cans of beer, handed one over, toast beers with the little fatty, smiled and said, “Man, what’s the problem?”
In this world, it seems that minors are not allowed to drink, right? But it is not as strict like those in abroad, and there’s no such taboo here with Yang Yi.
“Thank you, Big Brother Yang.” The little fatty said in a low voice. He was so depressed today that he even became a little silent.
After taking a big gulp, he became a chatterbox: “Big Brother Yang, I really lost my face this time! Before I came here, I told my teacher and classmates that if I failed the art exam, I would not go back…”
What was Guo Ziyi’s mood at that time?
Genius such as him, do not have to work hard, and his results can still dominate in school.
Genius such as him, who is two or three years younger and active among his older brother and sister, still receives great attention, and even plays guitar at New Year’s Party, moving the hearts of many young girls.
Genius such as him, after making up his mind to take the examination of Jiangcheng Media Performing Arts Department, regardless of the teacher’s dissuasion, he did not hesitate to devote himself to the study of the performance course. Although he started late, but his half a year’s effort made the other students in the remedial class feel ashamed of themselves.
He thought he was invincible, so he boasted excitedly, but now he has been hit hard by reality.
After drinking two cans of beer and talking a lot, Guo Ziyi vented some of his depression, but Yang Yi did not comfort him, just listened, just accompanied him by drinking.
“Brother Yang, I want to sing your song “Once You”!” The little fatty said.
Yang Yi nodded his head. He taught this song to Guo Ziyi that night. However, Guo Ziyi did not intend to take the exam. This guy is a little proud, and wanted to use his own strength to conquer the examiner. Of course, the result is quite miserable…
“Dreams of grandeur and heroism, to see the splendor of the world…” Guo Ziyi took the guitar, plucked the strings and began to sing.
Yang Yi couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. He didn’t know whether it was because the little fatty is drunk, or he experienced setbacks, but today, he actually sang with a bit of vicissitudes, and unexpectedly, is nice to listen to!
“…Dilililidada…” The boy actually sang to the back, and started to cry and howl wildly.
Yang Yi interrupted him angrily: “All right, stop singing. You’re going to wake up Xixi!”
The little fatty laughed, put the guitar down, and he took another mouthful of beer. He then quietly said the last few words in a low voice: “Let us drain this glass of wine / true men have hearts vast as the sea / seen the world, felt pleasure and pain / still, a pure smile warms the heart like nothing else…”
Two people drink, drink quietly.
It was not until the little fatty was a little drunk that Yang Yi slowly said, “Do you want to continue to be an actor?”
The little fat man nodded without hesitation. “I want to!”
“Do you have to care about other people’s looks?” Yang Yi said faintly, “Do you need to be bitter about one failure?”
“I’m not bitter, it’s just that I don’t have the face to go back to meet people.” The little fatty said faintly.
“Then, with this humiliation, come back, and tell them with your results that they were all wrong! Let them be ashamed of their ignorance! ” Yang Yi said. (TN: Like make a comeback)
In his previous live, were there been less people who looked down on him? In particular, a group of foreign people who always called him yellow-skinned monkey, but in the end, these lucky people who survived the training camp did not escape his pursuit!
Guo Ziyi opened his mouth wide and looked at Yang Yi in a daze.
“Don’t tell me, you’ve just been beaten once and now you’ve lost your spirit!” Yang Yi laughed and looked disdainful. “Don’t let me look down on you!”
“How is that possible?” The little fatty jumped up excitedly, not knowing whether he was ashamed or drunk. With his face flushed, he patted his chest and said, “Big Brother Yang, you wait!” I’ll make a comeback!”
“I want the dogs to look down on them, and regret today’s humiliation!”
