[Four Drive Brothers] Reshaping Reality

The breakfast place for the three of them the next day was at Tumon Café on the banks of the Mississippi River.Melodious and elegant background music was playing in the cafe, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning slanted in through the window. Mihaier picked up a French donut and put it in his mouth gracefully, his curved eyes showed his satisfaction.

Zhou Yan, who had just finished eating a donut, had already decided to die down, said: "Mihail, you still like sweets so much." She looked at the crowd waiting outside, Zhou Yan had always had a light taste, and Brett had to follow NASA requires a strict diet, but fortunately Mihail likes the taste here, and they waited in line for two hours in vain.

Mihail stirred the coffee with milk in the cup: "In order to get here as soon as possible, I have been traveling on planes or cars in the past few days, and I have missed many afternoon teas. For me, today is really a wonderful start."

Brett took out NASA-specific bottled water and nutritious meals from his backpack without comment.Mikhail, who had always been calm, shook his head collapsed when he saw this: "Well, Brett, I know, for you, a new day has begun."

Zhou Yan burst out laughing, and in an instant, two eyes turned to her, Zhou Yan stretched out her hands in a gesture of surrender: "You guys continue." She never thought that Michel and Brett, who had never been in contact with each other, could be so at odds.

After breakfast, they walked slowly towards Jackson Square after crossing the crowds queuing up outside the cafe.

"Brett, don't you have class today?" Michael asked.

Brett replied: "There was supposed to be an advanced math class, and I asked someone else to help me."

Mikhail said teasingly: "So it's so easy to be a professor at a university."

Brett responded: "You have come all the way from Europe, of course I want to entertain you well."

"..."

On Jackson Square, the statue of Andrew Jackson is in the center of the square, overlooking the all-encompassing urban area.There are all kinds of artists scattered in every corner of the square, some are doing magic tricks on the edge of the square, and some are playing the organ surrounded by the crowd.Mihaier saw someone knocking on the glass not far away, he was very interested in it, and insisted on pulling Zhou Yan to have a look there.Brett took advantage of the opportunity to stand in front of Zhou Yan: "Let's go together."

Mikhail looked at Brett and twitched his mouth: "Well, I hope you don't think of things like the density of water or the medium of sound transmission."

The percussion stick hits the glasses with different water volumes, and the sounds are crisp or high-pitched. The skillful movements of the street performers make the sounds of the glasses form a beautiful and familiar melody. Zhou Yan can tell that this is the voice of the Carpenter Band. "Yesterday Reappears".

After waiting for the song to finish, Mihaier stepped forward with bright eyes: "Excuse me, can I have a try?"

Taking the percussion stick handed over by the street performer, Mihail imitated the actions and sequences he memorized just now, and the intermittent melody gradually formed notes. After several practice sessions, the smooth melody sounded again, and the street performer's face was filled with With a surprised smile.

Mikhail is indeed very talented in music, Zhou Yan thought, if Brett is a scientist, then Mikhail is an artist. Talent comes out on top.

Brett walked straight to the gallery on the other side. He was very interested in the artist's skillful brushwork. He turned around and pulled Zhou Yan over, and said to the artist, "Please help us draw a portrait."

They were against the light, the wind blew Zhou Yan's bangs, Brett's hand was on her shoulder, and the artist was scribbling on the paper while observing their expressions.

After a while, Mihaier walked to Zhou Yan's side and complained, "You didn't wait for me."

Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing, she turned her head to look at Brett, trying to transfer Mihail's hatred to Brett.

Brett held Zhou Yan down with his hands and asked her to return to her original posture: "The artist is already painting us now, so don't move around."

Zhou Yan had no choice but to assume the initial posture stiffly: "I just saw you playing with the glass very engrossedly, so I didn't disturb you."

Mikhail shrugged his shoulders: "Well, it seems that the melody I tapped is not good enough to make you come here so bored. It seems that I should learn to paint next." He turned to another A street performer who was seriously painting, "Hello, can I have a try?"

The final result of this matter was that, at Mihail's strong request, the dominance of the brush was transferred from the painter to Mihail.Frightened by Mihaier's threatening eyes, Zhou Yan didn't dare to raise any objections, and Brett had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.In the final painting, Zhou Yan could barely see a bit of herself, while Brett's painting style became the ultimate product of the combination of abstraction and fauvism.

Brett's mouth trembled: "I feel like I came here for nothing today."

Mihail replied without guilt, "Brett, it's good to see that you still have a clear sense of self."

While Brett was going to check out, Zhou Yan lowered her voice and walked to Mihaier's side: "Hi, Mihail." Mihail turned his head, his eyes filled with surprise.Zhou Yan continued: "Do you often keep in touch with Hugh?"

Mikhail couldn't figure it out: "I don't contact him very often, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yan cleared her throat: "I feel that you have got Hugh's true biography. I haven't seen the second person confront Brett so naturally."

Mihail smiled: "Really? I will continue to work hard."

Mikhail took out two masks from behind, one was the smiling face mask in "V for Vendetta" and the other was a mask surrounded by pink feathers covering the eyes. They all trembled.

Brett looked mysteriously at the two people standing with their backs to him. He patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder. Suddenly, the two turned around together. Brett was scared back by the two huge masks that suddenly bumped into his sight. two steps.

Zhou Yan proudly gave Mihaier a high-five. She tried and teased Brett so many times, but finally failed, and finally succeeded once with Mihaier's help.

The night was getting dark, the sea was sparkling, and the golden lights on the square in the distance were faintly visible. Mihail lay comfortably on the deck, his body following the ups and downs of the turbulent arc of the sea at ease: "This scene reminds me of the first During the three World Cups, the game was held on a dozen interconnected cruise ships."

Zhou Yan said: "I remembered, the opponents in that match were the German team and the US team."

Mihail nodded: "In that game, each cruise ship was connected by loose ropes on the mast. The wind was strong that day, and the gap between the decks was constantly widening. Four people from the two participating teams fell into the sea. , The race was originally scheduled for two hours, but it took four and a half hours to finish the race."

Zhou Yan nodded with empathy: "Fortunately, I didn't participate."

Brett, who kept looking into the distance, said silently at this moment: "That was Miller's last World Cup."

Mihail put his arms behind his head: "I guess, Miller should have been tortured enough by the endless stream of difficult competitions in WGP."

The melancholy atmosphere of reminiscence was instantly broken, Zhou Yan laughed directly, and Brett also shook his head and laughed.

Zhou Yan asked curiously: "Then, Mihaier, why did you bid farewell to the four-wheel drive? Are you also discouraged by WGP's all-out means for ratings?" She used to think that Mihaier would be with Xiaohao Similarly, four-wheel drive is regarded as a belief that is pursued throughout his life. After all, Mihail has a dominant strength that is rarely rivaled in this field.

"It's boring to win too many times." Mihail replied easily, "In a brand-new field, from the initial mediocre strength to the undefeated myth is the best thing."

Brett said: "Is the new field you intend to develop music or painting?"

Mikhail made a serious demeanor: "To me, these two things seem too simple. Why don't you choose one for me, Ian, after I enter your school?"

Brett replied: "This is out of the question. She will have a lot of papers and homework in the future, and she has no time to take care of others."

Zhou Yan looked at Brett, who had a serious expression and didn't look like he was joking at all. Wait, she hasn't promised Mihail yet, why is Brett so impatient to give her more tasks!

"It's wrong to report private revenge, Brett." Mihaier said something fair, and Zhou Yan looked at Mihaier approvingly and gratefully.

Bret chuckled: "This is my field of expertise, and I want to make her an elite as soon as possible."

"..." This is probably the vivid interpretation of the live version of the fire at the city gate and the disaster of the fish in the pond.

"Is Hugh okay?" Zhou Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.She recalled Hugh's expression at the respective airports, and it was difficult to have anything to do with the word "good".

Mikhail's contented and cheerful demeanor has never changed: "I originally wanted to invite Hugh to come with me, but he has just entered the University of Munich, and he should be very busy with his studies."

Brett hugged Zhou Yan's back: "It's okay, let's go to Germany to meet Hugh next time, the schedule for this semester is not too tight, we can go back to Germany with Mihail. What is your opinion, Mihail?" ?”

Mikhail said: "The purpose of my visit to the United States this time is to investigate suitable colleges and universities for studying abroad. I will not return to Germany until the holidays."

"..." Seeing Mikhail's fluent and fluent answer, Brett really believed for the first time that Mikhail really came to study abroad.
