Chapter 110 The Scientist
Chapter 110 The Scientist
Theo was in the kitchen making dinner when he heard the sound of the elevator.
Shortly after Aurora entered the kitchen smiling sweetly.
"Hey, big brother!" She said as she hugged him.
"Hey, cupcake!" Theo laughed as he hugged her too.
"How was your day?" Theo asked when she let go of him.
"Nothing much. But I was able to fight in equal standing with a senior from the Fight Club." Aurora replied with a smug grin.
"That's my girl!" Theo laughed.
"Tell me about it then." Theo asked.
"Okay, so we started fighting and…" Aurora then proceeded to describe her fight in detail while Theo finished cooking.
Theo listened attentively, he was already finishing the dinner so he didn't have to pay much attention to the dishes.
He asked something here and there as Aurora described the fight.
After all, he was someone knowledgeable about fighting so he could see how the fight progressed just by her description of it.
When Aurora finished her story, Theo also finished cooking.
"You did great! I see you're improving!" Theo complimented her.
"Thank you, big brother!" Aurora smiled.
"Now, let's have dinner?" Theo asked.
"Yay!" Aurora replied excitedly.
"Help me put the dishes on the table." Theo said as he carried the plates to the table.
Aurora nodded and moved to help her brother.
A while later, both of them were seated at the table.
Theo decided to cook some hot pot for them.
And everything looked delicious!
Aurora was salivating as she looked at the beautiful dishes.
In the middle of the table, an iron black cauldron was placed.
In it, there was a boiling soup, vegetables, tofu, beef, noodles, mushrooms, and seasoning.
By the side of the boiling cauldron, there was rice, bread, and fried shrimp.
Theo prepared the hot pot in the Yamatese style (Japanese), and the result was beautiful.
They started eating and Aurora was once again in love with her brother's food.
'The best food in the world is here!' She thought as she sipped the soup.
The flavor was delicate.
It had a spicy and sweet flavor that made the vegetables, tofu, and other accompaniments of the hot pot taste even more delicious.
And when she tasted each one of these accompaniments, it was explosions of flavor with each bite.
The vegetables were crispy and crunchy with an earthy flavor.
The tofu was soft and the soup made the tofu taste like an explosion of flavor.
The mushrooms were a little sour and sweet, and with the spicy soup, they tasted amazing.
The beef pieces were fried with butter to get the flavor and afterward they were placed in the hot pot. And that made the beef taste even more delicious. The contrast of butter beef with the spicy soup was divine.
And eating the hot pot with the rice and shrimp was the perfect combination!
Theo and Aurora were lost in the flavor as they had dinner.
"Aaah" Aurora sighed in satisfaction after she finished eating.
"Was it good?" Theo laughed when he saw that she was patting her belly.
"It was awesome!" Aurora replied with another sigh.
"I'm glad." Theo smiled.
"Sylph, can you put the leftovers in the fridge and wash the dishes?" Theo asked.
"Yes, master!" Sylph's voice sounded throughout the room.
Aurora and Theo saw that Sylph's image was doing a little bow on the screen that was on the wall.
They laughed and observed the drones taking care of the chores that Theo asked.
They both felt it was great to have employees take care of these things.
Both didn't like washing the dishes, after all.
"What did you do today, brother?" Aurora asked suddenly.
"I started working on my music album." Theo replied.
Aurora's eyes started shining when she heard that.
"Can you show me, big brother?" She asked with enthusiasm.
"Sure!"
"Let's go to the studio and I will show you." Theo said as he stood up.
"Yay!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.
Theo laughed and started walking.
Aurora followed him with excitement.
After a while, they arrived in the recording studio of the house.
"I did just the basic stuff today."
"I started researching the musical market. Studying some instruments. I also started playing some songs just to test the equipment." Theo started explaining what he did.
Aurora listened carefully to his explanation.
"Why are you testing the equipment?" She asked.
"Well, it's a new studio so I have to see if everything is working well before I start recording my songs." Theo explained.
"Do you have any song ready?" Aurora asked with shining eyes.
She still remembered how her brother played on her birthday and how amazing it was.
It was one of her favorite memories, her brother passing his emotions through the song.
She wanted to see it again!
Theo thought for a while.
Suddenly, he remembered there was one song.
He was in doubt about any other song on the album, but this one he knew he had to put in it.
It was one of his favorite songs ever, and he had to share this masterpiece with the world.
"There is one." Theo smiled.
"Can you play for me!? Please, big brother?" Aurora asked with puppy eyes.
Theo was suddenly hit by an overload of cuteness.
"Anything for you!" Theo said with a loving smile.
He could not say no to her when she gave her puppy eyes.
Theo moved towards the piano and sat In from of it.
This song could be played with just the piano, so he didn't have to worry about other instruments.
His hands were on top of the piano keys as he remembered the song.
Aurora sat down and paid full attention to her brother.
Theo started playing and his masterful ability was seen through as the sound of the piano reverberated throughout the room.
The song's intro was played.
Suddenly, it was time for him to sing.
Theo closed his eyes and felt the song.
His heart and all his mind were in the song.
[Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science, and progress…]
That's right!
Theo was playing The Scientist By Coldplay!
A masterpiece song from one of his favorite bands.
Theo's heavenly voice sang the song perfectly, and it made the song sound even more appealing.
Theo's displayed his Advanced Singing Skill to Aurora.
And she was completely overwhelmed by the song.
She was so into the song that tears started rolling out of her eyes.
She didn't even know why she was crying, she just felt like it.
That was the power of music.
The power to move emotions!
And Theo was doing that with his first listener.
When Theo finished playing the song, Aurora got up and started clapping furiously.
"AMAZING!" Aurora shouted with enthusiasm.
Theo laughed and gave her a little bow to thank her audience.
Theo was happy that his first audience was her.
He wanted to share this moment with his little sister.
"What's the name of this song? It was so beautiful!" Aurora asked in excitement.
"It's called The Scientist" Theo replied.
Aurora committed that name to her memory.
"You wanna try?" Theo asked.
Aurora looked at the surrounding recording studio and nodded.
She wanted to have a try.
