Chapter 724 Isn’t this a circle?

Watching the 'Luna' going further and further away, Xiao Peng had a depressed expression on his face.

"Master, why do you look like that?" Felix asked in confusion.

It didn't matter if he didn't ask. Xiao Peng pulled Felix over and rubbed Felix's face vigorously: "How dare you say that? You're the one who brought this trouble here!"

Felix struggled desperately to escape from Xiao Peng's clutches: "Master, I have no choice. She is my sister after all! I can't do anything if she forces me!"

"Okay, even if Marlene is your sister, what's going on with Abby and Yasmine?"

Felix smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I don't want Abby to come either. Wouldn't that create competition for my sister? But I really don't understand friendships between women. When Marlene found out you were in England, she told Abby right away, and Abby came straight here on vacation. Did she mean to say, 'You have to grab the hot pot,' because the food you grab is more delicious?"

Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "What about Yasmin?"

Felix said, "Don't mention it! Master, this is your fault!"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What does it have to do with me?"

Felix said, "There's a trend right now of incorporating the Chinese suona into electronic music. Singer Sorona and DJ Tujamo released a song called 'One on One,' and someone else made a song called 'Last Night of the Dynasty.' Even Awolnation's song 'RUN' has a suona remix! And a lot of electronic music is using suona-like sounds. Yasmine's feeling out of inspiration right now, so she's clamoring to come to you! To give her some new inspiration."

Xiao Peng frowned, "How can I give her inspiration for this? Everyone uses suona, so why does she use something else? For example, the sound of the erhu is very unique."

"What is erhu?" Yasmine came in at this time, and her eyes lit up when she heard it.

Xiao Peng was helpless. "Erhu? It's a type of string instrument, I guess. Legend has it it was made by Ji Kang, so it was originally called the Jiqin. During the Tang Dynasty, it was called the Xiqin. Unlike the suona, which originated in the Middle East, the "Hu" in "Huqin" refers to the Hu people, but they were a nomadic people in northern China."

Yasmine asked hurriedly, "Can you play this 'huqin'?"

Xiao Peng said, "The concept of 'huqin' has varied in different eras. During the Tang Dynasty, 'huqin' referred to instruments that flowed into China from the northwest, such as the 'five-stringed lute' and the 'pipa.' Now, 'huqin' encompasses a large family of instruments, including the 'erhu,' 'sihu,' 'jinghu,' 'banhu,' 'zhuihu,' 'yuehu,' 'erxian,' 'gaohu,' 'maguhu,' and so on. Basically, any instrument played with a horsehair bow and the left hand pressing the strings is called a 'huqin.' Although these instruments are essentially the same, I've only played the erhu."

Yasmine blinked. “Are you talking about the violin?”

Xiao Peng made an erhu playing pose with both hands: "It's an instrument that you play like this, by placing it on your legs."

"Do you have a erhu here? Play it for me!" Yasmin asked hurriedly.

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I don't have an erhu, but I'll find a song for you online so you can listen to it slowly. Give me your phone!"

Yasmine handed the phone to Xiao Peng, and he directly downloaded a song "Erquan Yingyue" for her. When Yasmine heard it, her eyes lit up as if she had found a treasure. She put on her headphones and ran to the sofa to listen to it, shaking her head and looking very excited.

Xiao Peng was completely bewildered. The suona, after all, was known for its "sound of either great joy or great sorrow," but the erhu was truly a double whammy of sorrow. Using the erhu to make electronic music? This was a veritable "disco on a grave."

And judging by Yasmine's words, she really intends to do this! Well, as long as you are happy!

Yasmine had just sat down when a group of people came in, led by Marlene. She asked as soon as she entered, "Where's the Luna? Why did the boat disappear after we went downtown?"

Xiao Peng explained: "It's being renovated in Greece. If things go well, we'll be able to see it in about half a year."

Marlene sat down next to Yasmine and put her arm around her shoulders. "Oh, we thought we could enjoy ourselves on the boat, but now we don't have that chance."

Xiao Peng hurriedly said, "That's why I didn't ask you guys to come out this time. I really came out to work. We still have a lot of work to do next. We need to go to the Lesser Antilles. I've asked Kasin to prepare the plane!"

"Lesser Antilles? Where is it?" Marlene asked in confusion.

Abby, who entered the room shortly afterwards, replied, "It's the Caribbean Islands. Countries and regions like Guadeloupe, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, the Virgin Islands, Dominica, and Trinidad and Tobago are all concentrated there."

Marlene's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Okay, Xiao, you're going too far!"

Xiao Peng was confused: "How did I go too far?"

Marlene said, "The places you mentioned are all resorts! You're going to enjoy yourself without taking us? That's too much!"

Xiao Peng had let Marlene hit on his little secret. If he said 'Caribbean Islands', everyone knew it was a resort, but if he said 'Lesser Antilles', not many people would know. He had deliberately said 'Lesser Antilles' because he was afraid Marlene would follow him.

Xiao Peng said with a bitter face: "We are going to work. This seaplane trip is not very comfortable!"

"No matter what, we're going. Do you welcome us?" Marlene asked.

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. Who can blame you if you want to suffer? Kasim, how are we going to get there now?"

Kasin said, "Since we're leaving from the UK, the most convenient route is of course the Virgin Islands. It's a British colony. It's easier to land in the Virgin Islands if you're departing from the UK."

Xiao Peng said: "Then let's apply for a channel."

After hearing this, Kasin said, "Then I'll contact Iceland first."

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was confused. "We're going to the Virgin Islands. Isn't that southwest of us? Why are you going north?"

Kasin laughed after hearing this: "Boss, you don't mean that we should fly directly to the Virgin Islands?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, isn't it?"

Kasin suddenly made the sign of the cross on his chest: "Thank God, you finally let me know that the boss is not omnipotent and omniscient. Amen."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.

Kasin suddenly slapped his forehead. "I see. You used to fly across the Eurasian continent when you returned home, never across the ocean. So you don't know, Boss. Do you know? The shortest way to get to the Caribbean Islands from here is to fly to Iceland, then to Greenland, then to Canada, passing through the United States, and all the way south to the Lesser Antilles."

"Huh?" Xiao Peng gestured with his fingers: "Isn't this a circle?"
