send me home with your dopamine

"Hey—" Roland sighed, "I don't know how to tell stories."

"Just tell me whatever you want." Xiaolan blinked her eyes and begged, "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. They used to tell me stories."

Roland said helplessly, "Okay, just one."

"Yeah!" Xiaolan closed her eyes happily.

"Once upon a time, there was a group of people who raised many ducklings in captivity. Those ducklings lived happily every day, until one day, one of the little black ducklings suddenly discovered that he was not free, but was raised by humans. , so it yelled and wanted to escape.

But when it was discovered by human beings, human beings began to play tricks on it. Every time it felt that it had run a long way, people would catch it and put it back to the original point.

In this way, the little black duck thought that he had run far, far away, but in fact he did not escape from the duck pen at all.

Until one day, the little black duck met a duck covered in colorful feathers. The little black duck told the little colorful duck what he thought, so it had a partner.

Later, Little Caiya said that he had a plan to escape from the duck pen.

The little black duck was very happy and asked what plan it was?
Little Caiya said..."

"It's not good, sister! It's on fire!" Fang Xiaoling ran over, interrupted Roland's story, and shouted, "The basement is on fire, come and see!"

"What?" Roland stood up nervously.

"Wait, sister! You can bring Xiaolan here too, the whole ship is very dangerous now, I'm afraid the flames will burn up!" Fang Xiaoling turned her head and ran away after speaking.

Roland picked up Xiaolan and followed her.

"Big Roland, if the boat catches fire, will we be eaten by big sharks?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Roland nervously followed Fang Xiaoling, "Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

Fang Xiaoling pushed open the basement door, pointed and said, "Because Li Mengling lit the candle."

Holding the cake in her hand, Li Mengling stood in the basement decorated with lanterns, flowers, dolls and balloons, and said with a smile, "Sister Luo Lan, Xiaolan, happy birthday!"

"You... what are you doing?" Roland looked at the two-layered cake in astonishment. The gray cream was spread unevenly, and it looked like cement that had been stepped on.

"Did you forget? It's past 0 o'clock now, and today is November 11." After Fang Xiaoling finished speaking, she looked at Xiaolan again, "It's your two birthdays. In order to make birthday cakes for you two, Meng and I Ling has spent a lot of effort."

"But this cake is so ugly..." Xiaolan picked up a rainbow unicorn doll from the ground, walked to the front of the cake and looked at it, "Why is it gray?"

Fang Xiaoling waved her hands and said, "No, no, we originally wanted to make black and white colors, but when they were mixed, it turned into gray, but the taste is almost the same!"

"No wonder your storage space is full." Roland looked at the dolls piled up in the room, "What are you doing? I'm not a child. What kind of birthday is it?"

"Oh, come on." Fang Xiaoling pulled Roland in front of the cake, clapped her hands and sang, "Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you..."

Xiaolan instantly entered the atmosphere, clapping her hands and singing along, "Happy birthday to me..."

After the song was over, Fang Xiaoling said, "You two, you can make a wish now!"

"How can two people make a wish on the same cake..." Roland said disinterestedly, "I'll give her the chance."

"Farewell, Sister Luo Lan, isn't this a two-layer cake? Can you and Xiaolan make one layer each?" Li Mengling persuaded, "It's really hard work for us to make this cake!"

"No." Roland folded his arms and refused, "After the age of 16, I never made any wish to God."

"why?"

Several people looked at Roland in wonder.

Roland's pupils reflected the burning flame of the candle, and she said slowly: "Will you make a wish to your enemy?"

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Fortunately, Xiaolan didn't understand what they were talking about, and shouted, "Put the cake down a bit! I want to make a wish!"

Li Mengling lowered the cake a bit.

Xiaolan closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, and blew out the candles, "You can eat cake!"

Li Mengling put the cake on the table, "Xiaolan, what wish did you make?"

"It won't work if you say it!" Xiaolan stared at the cake eagerly, "Hurry up and eat!"

Li Mengling cut the cake and shared it with them, but Roland resolutely refused to eat it, "Eating sweets so late, you deserve to get fat."

"Oh, have a good day!" Fang Xiaoling pressed a button in the corner, and the whole basement suddenly flashed with colorful ambient lights, and she took out the microphone from a pile of dolls, "Sister, you don't have to eat cake, then Just play a song for us all?"

"I can't sing."

"You can't sing?" Fang Xiaoling stuffed the microphone into Roland's hands, and at the same time, the surrounding speakers played the BGM, "Are you familiar? This is a song you created in your head when you were a child, sister, I know You're a musical genius, get on with it!"

"This..." Roland listened to this familiar melody, and her heart was about to move. After so many years, she often thought of this song in her mind, but she never sang it, "Xiaoling, how do you know this song?" of?"

"Of course it's through the realm of [Purple Rhyme]." Fang Xiaoling didn't tell the truth, this song was actually told to her by Roland, the little princess of the Starlight Realm. Long before going to sea, she had hired a professional musician to make the BGM up.

"What reason do you need to be happy, what is the point of being happy?" Fang Xiaoling took the lead in singing, "If you~ really have doubts..."

Roland also snorted unconsciously: "That's just because~ that's just because! Today is really beautiful..."

The few people played like this until the morning. There were wine bottles scattered all over the floor, and Xiaolan was sleeping among the dolls with the rainbow unicorn in her arms.

Roland fell asleep on the sofa, while Li Mengling lay on the ground.

There are smiles on the corners of everyone's mouths, as if they are all in a sweet dream.

Only Fang Xiaoling was sitting on the deck at the bow, watching the sunrise at the end of the sea.

During the birthday party, she left for a while on the grounds of going to the toilet. Taking advantage of that time, she secretly entered the realm of [Purple Rhyme] and asked Xiaolan about her birthday wish.

She originally thought that no matter what her wish was, she would help Xiaolan realize it.

After all, that was also Roland's childhood wish.

But in the realm of [Purple Rhyme], Xiaolan said: "If possible, I hope that on my seventh birthday, Mom and Dad can come back soon..."

Fang Xiaoling looked at the sunrise in the distance, and the lyrics of "today is beautiful" echoed in her mind, when the sun was shining all over her body.

She stood up slowly, put on a white cloak printed with seven-color flowers, and grabbed a belt from the air.

happy birthday to me...hehe
