"The sun winks at me." He looked and blinked several times at Chenchen!
"Birds are singing songs for me. I am a very hard-working and unclingy little genie." He pointed to him own chest.
Zhang Ye walked to the front of the stage and put his hand into a flower basket. From it, he picked out a flower.
"Don't ask me where I'm from.
"Or ask me where I am going.
"I want to pick the prettiest flower,
"To offer to my little princess!"
He stooped down and placed the flower in Chenchen's hair. He pulled Chenchen and led her up onto the stage as well. Then he bent down and, amazingly, lifted Chenchen up on his left shoulder with astonishing strength.
Chenchen was terrified!
Zhang Ye laughed and said in a loud voice, "Aiyo, I nearly forgot!
"The king sent me on mountain patrol.
"Through the mortal realm, let me take a stroll.
"Beating my drums.
"Sounding my gong.
"Life is full of the feel of rhythm.
"The king sent me on mountain patrol.
"To capture a monk as his dinner roll.
"This mountain stream is so sweet that I don't envy couples or immortals!"
Zhang Ye raised his microphone to Chenchen's mouth. He knew that Chenchen was a smart girl.
Chenchen looked at him, then opened her mouth awkwardly to say, "The sun winks at me. Birds are singing songs for me."
Zhang Ye took it from there and laughed, "I am a very hard-working and unclingy little genie.
"Don't ask me where I'm from.
"Or ask me where I am going.
"I want to pick the prettiest flower,
"To offer to my little princess!"
Then Zhang Ye plucked out another flower and swiftly put it into Chenchen's hair again!
Chenchen suddenly laughed.
She was laughing very happily.
This was the first time Zhang Ye had seen her laughing in such a way. It was really the first time that it happened!
Zhang Ye, who had Chenchen bouncing up and down on his shoulder, was laughing and singing.
"The king sent me on mountain patrol.
"Through the mortal realm, let me take a stroll."
Chenchen followed along and sang.
"Beating my drums.
"Sounding my gong.
"Life is full of the feel of rhythm.
"The king sent me on mountain patrol.
"To capture a monk as his dinner roll.
"This mountain stream is so sweet that I don't envy couples or immortals!"
