Chapter 5 A Pot of Cold Water
Chapter 5 A Pot of Cold Water
After Zhou Mei endured Shazibai's harassment in class for ten days, and after Shawnbai used her actions to thoroughly understand her schedule, at dusk in the afternoon of No. 11, Tang's new car, which was still shining, Braving the hot exhaust again, it appeared at the intersection of Datong Street with an excellent location...
This autumn is the hottest autumn in Chongqing. No matter how hot the autumn is, you can only hear the sound of cicadas but you cannot see the shadow of them. But Zhou Mei, who has a lot of things to do every day, can hear a person nagging, Seeing her lingering figure again, I really felt terrible... So she had to subvert the elegant image she had been trying to maintain for herself, and performed a farce on Datong Street for three full months that was better than a play...
Cars are a rarity in Chongqing, and those who own cars are definitely rich, so whenever a car appears anywhere, it will attract everyone's attention, including opening the store early that day, and hiring a car. The industrious little tailor Ngawang rushed to make a special dress for Zhou Mei...
Awang has already curled his mouth and muttered, "Yo yo yo!"
It was still the little girl at the silver shop next to her who was curiously looking at the guy who got out of the car, blinking her bright eyes...
Zhou Mei could see the spectacular scene outside through the glass door, whoops, what a good guy...
Black suit and trousers, a white shirt, a slender white neck and a black bow tie, and shiny leather shoes that look a little too elegant, but the hair is still meticulously combed back, which is actually very beautiful. With a delicate and feminine face, the whole person looks graceful from a distance, no matter which angle it is from, he should be graceful and radiant, especially, that guy is really tall, even if he throws her abroad, his appearance will not embarrass the Chinese nation of…
Last time I dressed like a scum in a green shirt and cloth shoes, but today I look like a wretched and evil gentry in a suit and leather shoes...
Zhou Mei looked at that person from head to toe, then glanced at the embroidered shoes thrown in the corner, the feeling of resistance in her heart reappeared for no reason, she couldn't figure it out, she was such a good woman, she always made herself into this It looks like what to do!It's really not annoying to see you! !What's more, when she comes, I will be annoyed!
"Awang, is there still water in the backyard?" Zhou Mei got up from the sewing table and rolled up her cuffs...
"There is water and there is water. I just dug it from the well this morning. Whatever you want to do, master, I can do it." Awang immediately put down the work in hand, but was surprised to see Zhou Mei say "no need" Three steps and two steps rushed to the backyard...
Awang scratched his head and wanted to continue the work in hand, but he watched the eye-catching man in a suit outside looking at the glass window of his house, combing his hair, straightening his clothes, and then going into the house, at the same time , the back door was kicked open with a bang, and Zhou Mei, who had no hands to open the door, held a basin of water with both hands, walked quickly to the door, and kicked the door open again...
You can see the surprised and unexpected expression of the man in the suit outside the house, and the appearance of her just about to speak...
However, before she could say those words, the basin of water in Zhou Mei's hand had already splashed towards her head-on, and with a bang, it was completely wet from head to toe, and her neatly combed hair was also completely wet. The roots fell slowly one by one, and the water dripped down, hitting the moss-covered stone floor, making a pattering sound...
This good show caused too many people to stop and watch, and many neighbors who were doing business had to stop what they were doing curiously, and looked this way... All kinds of discussions were also heard endlessly, "The actor is white." , it's Xizibai"
The actor Bai who was doused with cold water didn't know how long she stood there in a daze. Through the sunglasses, she could also feel the vigilance and resistance in the eyes of the woman in front of her...
Bai Yuan couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart, my God, how annoying is she?This is only the second time they have confronted each other... She didn't even give herself the right to speak to her...
Xie Zibai said nothing, the driver Lao Cheng got out of the car with a pale face, standing beside her awkwardly, hesitant to speak, Xie Zibai took off his soaked suit, untied his tie, and loosened the neckline She unbuttoned her shirt and undid two buttons. This move was intended to make her comfortable, but she unintentionally exposed her high collarbone and clear breastbone. She took off her sunglasses and stuffed them into Lao Cheng's hands, "You go back first." , I’ll just go home by myself in a while.”
Lao Cheng nodded, took the things, and drove away without saying much...
At the door of the store, only the two of them continued to look at each other. The hair that Bai Yuan combed up had completely fallen down at this moment, sticking wetly to the forehead. The eyes without sunglasses were the kind of gentle long eyebrows and thin eyes. After taking off the suit, only the close-fitting white shirt was left, which was very conspicuous. For some reason, Zhou Mei suddenly felt that Xi Zibai was much more pleasing to the eye in an instant, and she was not so annoying. She was like a poor street artist in ancient European paintings, down and out Down and out, but I haven't lost my faith in my soul...
I still remember that day on the stage when she was shaking her cloud sleeves vigorously, and she sang with her waist upright, the precipitating charm when she sang the water overflowing the golden mountain, walking and whirling, beautiful and beautiful, as if she had played the role of the white lady, the essence of the country really made her She is very good at handling, and I have to give her some praise on this point, her singing is really excellent...
The only thing I look down upon is because she only knows that the river is still singing the flower of the backyard, but she can also be regarded as a rare and unconventional...
Zhou Mei bit her lower lip, and the few words she had prepared to choke her got stuck in her throat. As long as she didn't mess with her, she wouldn't say it...
"Would you like to eat Dandan noodles at noon..." After studying for many days, I learned some knowledge of British etiquette. Bai Yuan originally planned to ask her in a gentlemanly manner, do you want to have lunch together, but this is the only way to do it now? Open your mouth and ask...forget it...
"Your celebrity is well known, can you let me go, there are many women in Chongqing?" Zhou Mei replied coldly, the light in her eyes showed a trace of sincere request, but it was definitely not a plea...
"..." Bai Yuan blinked her innocent tender eyes, she didn't know how to answer for a moment, she lowered her head, rubbed her shiny leather shoes on the ground, and stopped answering...
"I'm working, let's go" Zhou Mei turned around after saying that...
"It's not okay to be friends?" Bai Yuan suddenly stopped her, her tone was not regrettable and unwilling, and she was surprisingly calm...
"no"
Bang... The door of the store was slammed shut, and through the door, Bai Yuan could only see the little tailor looking at her as if looking at a thief while continuing to work...
She turned around, squinted her eyes, looked at the big sun above her head, sighed deeply, and walked away step by step amidst the neighbors watching and whispering...
I don't know how long she walked, whether she went to the upper half of the city or the lower half of the city, she felt a little tired, so she went to a rice noodle shop that she had never visited before, ordered a bowl of beef noodle, and when she sat down, she couldn't help rubbing her hands Swollen temples, always feel a little uncomfortable...
In this era, even if she looks embarrassed, in the eyes of girls, she is still good-looking, like a young master of a scholarly family, who is gentle and elegant, sells rice noodles, and the little girl with good skin drips while scalding rice noodles , while squinting, always sneaking a look at her, when the rice noodles came out of the pot, I unconsciously picked up a few more pieces of meat for her, put them in a bowl, and poured hot old soup...
When the soup was filled with red oil and the scallion-flavored rice noodles were served, Bai Yuan picked up the chopsticks and picked up one of the chopsticks. The tempting smell had already rushed into the tip of her nose, but she suddenly felt, no appetite...
She was frustrated... This time she was really frustrated... Let's say she was rejected for the first time. It's depressing... especially for a charming girl like her who is always attracted by all kinds of courtesans...
The bowl in front of him was suddenly pulled to the opposite side by a pair of jade hands, and the chopsticks in his hand were also taken away with a swipe. Bai Yuan frowned, but saw a person in a black uniform sitting in front of him, with a straight back and The pretty woman with curvy short hair on both sides of her cheeks and a slanted fringe on her forehead was smiling at Bai Yuan at this moment, then lowered her head and ate a big mouthful of beef noodles in satisfaction. The scene, I couldn't help but pouted, and stopped looking this way...
"Why are you here?! Didn't you go to Nanjing?!" Bai Yuan hadn't seen the woman in front of her for at least a year, and she was really surprised to see her here, but she really felt that she had no strength, and she was surprised. Yu could only slowly lay down on the table, burying his head in his arms, looking very tired...
It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them was good in the past, there is no need to be polite and courteous...
"I'm back, you don't even know I'm back." The woman took another bite, glanced at Bai Yuan vaguely, then pinned the hair on both sides of her cheeks behind her ears, and looked at Bai Yuan's listless look. , frowned, and pushed her arm directly, "Hey... little white brother, what's wrong with you, you're going to die"
"Call me sister..." Bai Yuan replied in a muffled voice, her arms were purposely hidden back and she didn't raise her head, "How do you know I'm here..."
"You look like this every day. Who can tell that you are a sister. My brother and I were going to Xiangshan Villa together. Who would have thought that your Tang Sheng would kill me at my house early and say that you want to take a ride? I kept pestering you. He asked where you were, so he secretly told me that you came here..." The woman smiled playfully, her canine teeth showing from the corners of her mouth...
"Talky Tang Monk..."
"Even if Tang Sheng didn't say anything, the whole mountain city must know about the disturbance today. I don't know if Brother Xiaobai was taught by Sister Zhou just now?" The woman's tone was a little gloating...
Bai Yuan still felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing what the woman said, she raised her head in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice, "You saw it all? Xiao Luo, do you know Zhou Mei?"
"Of course we know each other." The woman's face was taken for granted, "She came to my house as a guest. I really like her. She speaks English very well. My parents also like her very much. My brother likes her even more. Seriously, Brother Xiaobai, why did you offend her? I never thought that sister Zhou could do such a thing."
Oh right, why did she forget that Xiang Wan mentioned to her that Jing Yuan was once one of Zhou Mei's suitors. This Jing Yuan, like Tang Xiangwan, is a young major general, but not everyone who is good-looking Men have special hobbies, and they are favored casually by the commander. Jing Yuan graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. He is very brave on the battlefield. The daughter's big family is staring at a piece of fat... And this pretty woman in front of her is the jewel in the Jing family's palm, Jing Yuan's only younger sister, Jing Luo... Since Tang Xiangwan and Jing Yuan are very good colleagues, Jing Luo The younger sister of the family, ever since she got to know the opera singer Bai, she has liked to hang out with her. She likes to watch the opera singer Bai dance with knives and guns, and dress up. The opera singer Bai Su loves to dress up as a good-looking man to tease girls and make others Fascinated by her, Jing Luofei not only didn't think she was against the worldly vision, but thought she was very interesting, so he always liked to run after the actor's white buttocks, which angered the elders of the Jing family, but the eldest lady still went her own way, Jing Yuan was helpless I was afraid that my little sister would also be fooled by actor Bai, so I had to send her to Nanjing to attend some kind of training... So, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while...
No wonder Zhou Mei didn't want to take a look at her this week. It turned out that she had already chosen a backer. Down the hill go...
"Hey! Xiaobai!" Seeing this, Jing Yuan immediately got up and chased after her. She supported Bai Yuan, who couldn't even walk steadily, and frowned, "Are you feeling unwell? What's wrong with you?"
After finishing speaking, she put her hand on Bai Yuan's forehead, and then exclaimed, "Xiao Bai, your forehead is so hot! You must have been startled by the basin of water, you, hello!! Xiao Bai?!"
Jing Luo really didn't expect that Bai, an actor who used to do somersaults every day in the theater troupe, was always moving like a rabbit, and could climb a tree on a wall like a cat, would fall into her arms in a daze... She couldn't laugh or cry. Looking at the actor Bai in his arms who hasn't changed much after a year, he couldn't help asking passers-by to take care of him, and hurriedly found his husband, accompanied by himself, and sent the unconscious actor Bai all the way back to the Tang family...
As expected, there was no one in the Tang family. Tang Xiangwan and Jing Yuan went to the Fragrant Hills Villa for an internal secret meeting. They didn't know when they would be back, so Jing Yuan had to call his own personal doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment. it's dark...
When Bai Yuan woke up, the fever had subsided. She blinked, and felt that her mind was very clear, but she felt a little out of breath. The hot autumn tiger was making a fuss. Lulu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she locked the windows. Dead, the night was already late at that time, Tang Xiangwan still hadn't come back, Bai Yuan also guessed that he probably wouldn't come back, she put on a thin shirt, slowly opened the door, wanted to go to the yard to get some air...
Unexpectedly, the lobby on the first floor was still brightly lit. There was a woman with a good-looking back. Her short hair had a nice curve at the end. She was sitting on the big sofa on the first floor with her legs crossed, and she seemed to be breathing... Bai Yuan I had hallucinations for a while, thinking that the figure from behind seemed to be Zhou Mei...
She stood at the corner of the stairs, unable to move... She seemed to be able to hear the unique sound of high-heeled shoes when she closed her eyes, her white cheeks without any blemish, said to be cold, but looked like watery eyes. The seemingly strong but delicate lips, everything just hit my own preferences, whether it is external or internal...
It was such a strong desire to get close to a person... People are like this, the more they are rejected, the more they want to cling to them... It didn't matter at all, I thought the love I thought was as deep as the sea...
She is not a fool, she has gone through so many life and death on the edge, if she could control it, she would have controlled it long ago...
Sighing lightly, I don't know whether to lament her own absurdity or the world... Why can't she be a man? If so, she won't suffer personality insults and sexual destruction in her early years. You Do you think she loves to tease girls by nature? She has been tortured by men and vowed that she will never be entangled with men again in this life...
She even finally met a man who made her feel at ease and soft-hearted, but this man turned out to be... Forget it, maybe this is her life in this life...
The sigh made the woman on the sofa turn her head. Jing Luo pinched her cigarette, but she said in a sweet voice, "Are you awake?"
"How did you learn to smoke?" Bai Yuan clasped her fingers, still leaning on the railing of the stairs, and asked faintly, the dim light made her complexion softer, and her usual golden voice sounded like she was coaxing a child …
"It's a lot of pressure..." Jing Luo said with a smile, also leaning on the back of the sofa, kneeling on the sofa, looking as lazy as a cat...
"You grew up with a golden spoon in your mouth, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and your family is rich and powerful, so what's the pressure?" Seeing her cute but saying these words, Bai Yuan couldn't help being amused by her...
"You don't know what I'm going to do in the future, so how do you know that I'm not under too much pressure?" Jing Luo tilted her head, still smiling...
"From now on, you should obediently find a good husband to marry, just find a husband who loves you." Bai Yuan walked down the stairs slowly, sat next to Jing Luo, and stopped her from continuing to light cigarettes. "
"I only admire you until today. The ruthlessness of quitting opium cigarettes back then is unforgettable..." Jing Luo listened to her words, put down the cigarette, lay half alone on the sofa, kicked off her high-heeled shoe, and put it directly on the After leaving Bai Yuan behind, "Tang Shengsheng is really good. No matter whether he lives or dies, he always has you by his side and never forsakes him."
"Without him, I would have been killed by the Japanese a long time ago." For a long time, no one had talked to her, and Bai Yuan also fell down on the sofa. Me, tie me up and give them to them, they forced me to sing, but if I refused to sing, they beat me and abused me, if Xiang Wanli hadn’t raided them, rescued me, and took me away, I would have died long ago Those bastards are in the hands, and now, the entire Northeast has fallen, but the Nationalist Party is still busy suppressing the Communists..."
"Xiaobai..." Jing Luo looked at her side face on the sofa seriously, "If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home...Suppressing the Communist Party is what the people want. You and Tang Sheng are a family, so naturally you must support the government's proposition."
"I used to never understand who Xiang Wan was fighting when he went out to fight every day. At first I thought he was fighting the Japanese, but now I realized that he was going to fight the Chinese. I haven't studied much, and I don't know the righteousness of the family and the country, but No matter how stupid I am, I still know that this is my own person beating my own person, why bother?"
"I didn't expect that brother Bai didn't only care about beautiful women." Jing Luo raised his eyebrows, then kicked off another high-heeled shoe neatly, and climbed up to Bai Yuan's neck, lying next to her ear , whispered, "The fever has just subsided, do you still have strength?"
"Aren't you afraid that your brother will kill me with a single shot?" Smelling the pleasant smell of perfume, Bai Yuan raised half of her eyebrows, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help revealing a wicked smile that was completely different from that in front of other people. Jing Luo's shoulders are like an ambiguous love prodigal, "I haven't seen you for a year, I seem to have matured a lot, and my long hair has become short."
"Without me, how many unlucky women have you caught this year?" Jing Luo didn't leave her ears, but buried her whole body in her neck, biting, unbuttoning her shirt with one hand...
"Well..." Feeling the heat on her neck, Bai Yuan frowned subconsciously, feeling more and more that Xiao Luo who came back this time seemed to be a different person. lips tightly sealed...
"Enough!" It took a lot of effort to stop this woman's crazy behavior, Bai Yuan pressed her tightly on the sofa, because her body was a little weak, she gasped for breath, "Xiao Luo! You are a bit too much Already!"
"Don't regret it." Jing Luo looked at Bai Yuan above her very quietly, but showed a gentle smile that Bai Yuan couldn't understand. These words had almost no tone...
