Chapter 3389 Garden Song
At dusk, the Little Red Horse Academy was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, which painted half the sky red. Warm yellow lights illuminated the courtyard.
The children were playing and frolicking as usual, their joyful figures seen everywhere—on the slide, by the sandpit, near the grove, and around the vegetable garden.
Xiao Bai ran down from home, clutching a piece of paper tightly in his hand, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
She ran straight to Xi'er and Xiao Mi, and handed them the paper: "Look! This is the garden song my old man wrote!"
Xi'er and Xiaomi immediately came over. The paper had a simplified musical score and lyrics, with the title written in three words: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?” Xi’er read it softly, her eyes sparkling.
"It was Chengcheng's suggestion!" Xiaomi exclaimed. When Chengcheng made the suggestion before, she specifically mentioned that she hoped there would be stars in the song.
"Let me see! Let me see!"
A small figure rushed over like a small cannonball; it was Robin.
She squeezed next to her aunt, stood on tiptoe, and craned her neck to look at the paper. Then her little face scrunched up: "What does this say? It's all crooked and crooked, like little worms crawling. I don't recognize a single word!"
Xiao Bai handed the paper to her again: "This is the sheet music! The lyrics are below!"
Robin stared at the lyrics for a few seconds, scratched his head, and honestly said, "...I can't read, hiahia~~~"
"show me."
Xi'er took the sheet music, looked down at the notes, and her lips moved slightly, as if she were singing silently in her heart.
A few seconds later, she looked up, a sweet smile blooming on her face, her eyes curving into crescents: "I think I can sing it now."
"Really? Happy Baby, sing a song quickly!" Xiaobai urged.
Xi'er cleared her throat, looked at the sheet music, and began to hum softly:
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are."
Hanging in the sky, shining brightly, it looks like many tiny eyes.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
The melody is simple, the lyrics are catchy, and Xi'er's voice is clean and warm, with a natural sense of healing.
She sang only a few lines, and Xiaobai and Xiaomi couldn't help but hum along softly.
"It sounds so good!" Xiaomi exclaimed.
"Sister Xi'er sings so well!"
Although Robin couldn't read the sheet music, he had a sharp ear and immediately clapped his hands: "Sing it again! Sing it again!"
Xi'er was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she still sang it again in its entirety.
This time, Dudu, Chengcheng, and Xiaolizi, who lived nearby, were also attracted to the area.
"What song is this? It's so nice!" Dudu asked.
"It's the school song! The school song of our Midnight Academy!"
Little Bai puffed out its little chest and proudly announced, "My old man wrote this!"
"Written by Boss Zhang? That's amazing!" Dudu's eyes lit up.
Chengcheng listened quietly and whispered, "It's like there are really little stars twinkling in the night."
Little Li nodded: "Yeah! It warms my heart to hear that."
More and more children gathered around, asking all at once what song it was.
Seeing that the time was right, Xiaobai said to Xier, "Xiwa, stop singing now, we'll sing for everyone later!"
She called out to Dudu, turned around and ran towards the classroom. A little while later, the two of them came out pushing a portable karaoke machine, with Xiaobai holding a wireless microphone in her hand.
"Dudu, go and call Li Baibai. Xiwawa, go and call the headmistress. Robin, go and call all the little teachers too." Xiaobai skillfully assigned tasks.
Before long, everyone arrived and gathered in the courtyard.
Liuliu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and squeezed to the very front row.
Dudu was carrying her noisy parrot.
"Dudu, why did you take it out?" Xiaobai asked, pointing at the parrot.
Dudu said earnestly, "It's a member of our Little Red Pony Academy too! It should also have its opinion on something as important as the academy song!"
The parrot chirped at just the right moment: "Caw—Give me your opinion! Give me your opinion!"
This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Aunt Huang and the little teachers stood behind the children, and Old Li also walked over with his hands behind his back, watching with a smile.
Almost everyone in the courtyard had arrived.
Xiao Bai took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and stood on the steps.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Today, we have something very important to say!"
The courtyard fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on Xiaobai.
“A few days ago, we wanted to write a theme song for Midnight Academy. So, we collected everyone’s ideas: stars, games, stories, help… so many ideas. I told my dad about these ideas and asked him to help us write a song.”
She held up the paper in her hand: "My old man stayed up all night, racking his brains, and finally finished writing the song! It's this one, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'!"
"Wow—" A gasp of amazement rippled through the audience.
"Now, let's have Xi'er sing for everyone! Let's hear everyone's opinions!" Xiaobai handed the microphone to Xi'er.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xi'er took the microphone, walked to the center of the steps, glanced at the sheet music, looked at her expectant friends below the stage, and smiled.
Suddenly, Liuliu asked, "Xi'er, do you need me to sing along?"
"Huh?" Xi'er was a little surprised. One little person in her mind told her to refuse quickly, while another little person told her that Liu Liu would be sad.
Just as she hesitated, Xiaobai couldn't help but say, "Xiwa doesn't need accompaniment. Liuliu, just listen to Xiwa sing and see what the song is like. Xiwa, sing it."
Xi'er began to sing:
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are."
Hanging in the sky, shining brightly, it looks like many tiny eyes.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
Her voice, clear and resonant, flowed through the speakers into the courtyard at dusk.
The scene was very quiet, and the children were all listening attentively to the songs; some of them even started nodding and swaying their heads.
Xi'er's voice became clearer, and she sang the second verse as well:
As the sun slowly sets in the west, flocks of crows return home.
The stars blinked their little eyes, twinkling and shining until dawn.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
When she finished singing the last note, the courtyard was quiet for a moment, then burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers!
"It sounds so good!" Dudu was the first to jump up.
"I like it!" Chengcheng said softly but firmly.
"It's like telling a story!" Little Li's eyes lit up.
"I can sing it too!"
Zhou Zizi and Tian Xiaoya held hands and jumped around, singing off-key.
Even the parrot flapped its wings and exclaimed, "Beautiful! Beautiful!"
The young teachers nodded in agreement, and Aunt Huang smiled with satisfaction: "This song is really good. It's simple, warm, and full of hope. It's perfect for children to sing, and it has the feel of our Midnight School."
Old Li stroked his beard and chuckled, "Good, good, good~"
Seeing everyone's reactions, Xiaobai felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
She asked loudly, "Then, does everyone agree to make 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' the theme song for all of our Midnight Schools?"
"agree!!!"
The answers were given in unison, loud and clear.
"Great!" Little White clapped her hands happily. "Then the garden song is decided, it's 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'!"
"and many more!"
A loud voice broke the joyful atmosphere.
Liu Liu strode confidently to the steps and said, "The school song is decided, but who will sing it? Such an important song must be sung by the most outstanding person! Only then can they represent our Little Red Horse and all of Midnight Academy!"
She looked around, puffed out her little belly, and pointed her thumb at herself: "I think I'm the most suitable! Me, Liu Liu, an international superstar! I've acted in movies and been on TV! Who doesn't know me, domestically or internationally? If I sing this school song, it'll definitely be a hit! No, it'll make the school song a hit! Let everyone know about our Midnight Academy! Establish our best image! It'll be good for publicity!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see herself standing on the stage, under the spotlight, singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
The courtyard was quiet for a few seconds.
Suddenly, a clear, slightly bewildered little voice rang out:
"But, Liuliu, you don't sing well."
It's Robin.
She stood at the front of the crowd, her little face tilted up, her expression incredibly serious; everyone could see the sincerity on her face.
"..."
The smug smile on Liuliu's face froze instantly, slowly crumbled, and then turned black.
She slowly turned her head, staring at Robin with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"What did you say?"
Liu Liu spoke slowly and deliberately, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
Robin wasn't easily intimidated; she firmly stated, "...It's true! Your singing sounds like a duck's quack, while Sister Xi'er's singing is much better."
"Hahahaha!"
Someone burst out laughing first, and then the courtyard erupted in laughter, even Aunt Huang and the teachers couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Liu's face darkened further, and the tips of her ears turned red. She pointed at Robin, her finger trembling, "You! You little fat rabbit! What do you know about art! What I call unique! Unique! Don't you understand? Xi'er sings well, but she's not as famous as me! She's not as good at self-promotion!"
"But the garden song has to sound good."
Robin hid behind Dudu, only showing half of his head, and continued his "objective" statement.
“I sing well too!” Liu Liu said, sticking out her neck.
"When you sang 'The Water of West Lake' last time, you scared the parrots away," Leonardo DiCaprio added sarcastically.
The parrot squawked at just the right moment, flapping its wings as if to say: That's right! It's true!
Dudu: "You, you, you, Fruit Li! What business is it of yours here?!"
Leonardo DiCaprio said quietly, "I can't stand you bullying Robin."
Liu Liu snorted coldly: "You don't understand music at all. When I sing, it's full of emotion! I'm completely immersed in it! You don't understand!"
Seeing that Liuliu was about to explode, Xiaobai quickly picked up the microphone to smooth things over: "Okay, okay! Stop arguing! I've discussed with the principal and teachers who will sing the school song."
Everyone quieted down and looked at Xiaobai.
Little White cleared his throat and said, "This song, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,' is the theme song of all our Midnight Schools. It's a song that belongs to every child. So, we've decided that all the children of Little Red Pony School will sing it together!"
"Sing a song together?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Correct!"
Little White nodded: "Not only us Little Red Horse, but also Little Pine Tree, Little Plum Blossom, Little Star... all the children of Midnight Academy must learn to sing this song! This is our song!"
This decision was immediately supported by almost all the children.
"Let's sing together! Everyone gets a turn!"
I love it when we sing together!
Yes! Unity is strength!
Although Liuliu was still a little unwilling, seeing that everyone agreed, she could only mutter, "If we're going to sing together, then we'll sing together... I'll be one of the lead singers too..."
Xiao Bai continued, "To ensure this song is recorded well, my dad has already contacted the older brothers and sisters at Little Red Horse Music Company. They'll be coming to our school tomorrow with their equipment to record the song for us! They'll also be filming the music video!"
"Wow!"
The kids were extremely excited and started chattering excitedly.
"Are you going to be on TV?"
Will we become big stars?
"I want to wear the prettiest dress!"
