Chapter 1217 A Life as Thin as a Card
Sonia flipped the space ring and took out a bright white music card. Ash had a vague impression of this, as it seemed to be an item that appeared in Deida Rose's classic movie "I Actually Mind", but that was already an urban light comedy ten years ago.
She pinched open both sides of the card, kneaded it gently and expanded it into two earphones. One was hung in Ash's ear, and the other was hung in her own ear. Then she pressed the button on the card and selected songs through the LCD screen above - this was actually A multimedia player that takes into account the functions of placing, charging, and playing songs.
Deda Rose's childish singing voice with a hint of starry accent sounded melodiously from the headphones, with a hint of helpless doting in the resentment:
"I like you even if you have a hundred shortcomings" "No one can compare with you"
"You don't know how to appreciate me"
"I have done so much for you but only to be loyal to one" "I wonder if I owed you in my previous life" "I don't know how to figure you out"
"I have to swallow my anger until I wake up for you."
"My self-esteem is willing to lower myself because I love you so deeply."
It is the theme song of "Actually I Mind". It was originally supposed to be a male and female chorus, but this song is a special version of Deda Rose's solo. Sonia hummed softly while listening. Her voice was ethereal and full of vitality, which was completely inconsistent with the tone of the song. It was more like a simple little girl singing along with whatever song she liked.
If you think about it carefully, the world of children is really simple. They can sing whatever songs sound good, they can like whatever colors they like. When they feel pain, they pull up their hips and tell the whole world that they are unhappy. On the contrary, when they grow up, not only do they not I can’t tell the color I like directly even if I’m in a bad mood. I can only play sad love songs in the middle of the night when no one is around, telling the world in a roundabout way that today and I are a little sad.
Sonia hummed as she stood up and stepped on the edge of the cliff. As a demi-magician, it wouldn't be a big deal even if Sonia fell hard, but she would smash the mountain into several human-shaped craters, but for some reason Ash was very nervous and grabbed her slender fingers with distinct joints. .
"Do you think this thing is a bit outdated?" Sonia asked with a smile.
Ash thought for a moment and nodded. The miracle bracelet that every ordinary person in the world has is a multimedia device that integrates all common functions. It can not only listen to music but also watch dramas. It is also portable and waterproof and is basically impossible to lose. In comparison, this music card seems quite Superfluous.
"This was a fashion trend that suddenly started ten years ago. The chamber of commerce that produces music cards even sponsored a movie about Deda Rose with a lot of money, just to bring the trend of music cards to the whole country." Sonia said: " At that time, I saw Deida Rose leaning against the window in the light curtain. The neon lights of the city and the stars in the night sky illuminated her frustrated face. She took out the music card and took off her headphones to listen to the song that only she could hear. ·····How can a little girl bear this? I was instantly hit by consumerism.”
"Looking back now, the chamber of commerce that produces music cards is quite good at seizing business opportunities. At that time, the Miracle Band had not invented "directional sound", and any video watched in public places was for public viewing, so many people must have hated it. In such a noisy environment, a product like music cards that combines privacy, emotion, and uniqueness will naturally have a large audience. In particular, Deida Rose is the favorite idol of young people, including Deida Rose's hairstyle and clothing. It can be all the rage, not to mention this kind of movie and drama peripherals that are both fashionable and full of personality.”
"In my memory, various music cards were popular for about a year or two. It was not until the Miracle Band was equipped with the "directional sound" function that although there was still sound leakage, it would no longer make noise under normal circumstances, and the music cards were quickly withdrawn. market."
She held the bright white card between her fingers, with a hint of tenderness on her face: "I rarely ask my mother for anything... I don't know if you have watched "The Night of the Fate", this movie has brought After a while, there was a trend. At that time, there were many movies and dramas with the theme of "the all-powerful but evil wishing machine". When I watched it, I was thinking, is there a wishing machine that is not all-powerful but will work hard to realize wishes? "
"A magician's miracle?" Ya Xiu's first reaction was this.
Sonia shook her head with a smile and turned the card in her hand: "Maybe it's mom."
"That year I was about to save enough money to buy new farm machinery, but I couldn't help but want a music card. I wanted to distinguish myself from my peers who wasted their lives like pigs...My mother bought it back as expected. , although the price is that I have to buy agricultural machinery one year later, and I have to plant one more year. Small things like this that are popular in Kalashi are also a wish for small town girls to stand on tiptoe. "
"Actually, the popular brand products of Kalashi are not distributed to us at all. Although they are not considered pirated, what my mother bought was just inferior goods imitated by small merchants. Listen, is the sound quality not as good as the Miracle Bracelet?" Suo said. Nia said: "But I didn't care at that time. When I was tired from studying, I would listen to it before going to bed. At that time, I was the only one who had one among all my peers in the town. I wore headphones and it felt like the wind was blowing when I walked on the street. It was so small. A little vanity brings me happiness for a long time.”
"To this day, I still feel that this music card is worth buying...Although I have always felt that I am different, but before I go to college and leave my hometown, what is the difference between me and other people? I just need Such a little vanity to satisfy myself.”
Ash's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that this was the first time Sonia took the initiative to mention her boy to him. It's not that Sonia has any obligation to confess. Ash has never mentioned his own boy, but Ash knows that Sonia has always had a sense of shame in her heart... During her most sensitive and vain teenage years, We happen to be in the most materially scarce environment, like a butterfly in a cocoon that has to endure the appearance of a caterpillar... Who wants to mention their past like a caterpillar?
She was reluctant to take Ash to see his mother for a similar reason.
Now Sonia can talk about this past frankly, and even analyze her wild emotions like a scalpel, because she is so strong that no one dares to laugh at her past, or even admire how such a vulgar cocoon can transform. Such a beautiful butterfly.
"Ash."
Sonia held the music card between her fingers, the sunshine after the rain illuminated her face, and her ruby eyes were brighter than ever.
"My life is only as thin as a card," she said. "You wrote so many adventure stories with it, so it became a wonderful magician's manual."
Ash seemed to want to refute something, but Sonia put her finger on his lips and shook her head. She sat next to him elegantly and took out three hair ties from her pocket: "Tie my hair."
