Chapter 96

Ling Mulan ran far away and her shyness was gone, the redness on her face faded but her smile rose, and she smirked as she walked.

This joy lasted for a whole day, and Ling Mulan also smiled happily for a whole day. Before going to the theater at night, she went back to her room and put on the rouge she had been reluctant to use by lighting a kerosene lamp.

"Mulan, what happened to me today made me so happy, I told my aunts to be happy too."

Ling Mulan likes to laugh, and she greets everyone with a smile, but she won't smile so happily like today.

"Aunt Xiang, I met Mr. Xiao today, the Mr. Xiao who played Cui Yingying. He recognized me and said he would give me a ticket to the show."

The love story between Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng in "The Romance of the West Chamber" is longed for by the girls to be married, and Ling Mulan also longed for it.

But her experience is different. She grew up in her aunt's house and heard too many stories about men's heartlessness. She likes "The Romance of the West Chamber" but dare not dream of love.

What's more, the aunts are all old, and she can't take care of her aunt after she gets married.

Various reasons caused Ling Mulan not to marry in her prime years, but they couldn't stop her from enjoying listening to "The Romance of the West Chamber".

"Mr. Xiao wants to give you theater tickets?"

Aunt Xiang pursed her lips.

Ling Mulan had only gone to the theater to sell peanuts a few times, and had never heard of anything that happened. Aunt Xiang was also a bit old-fashioned, so she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Yes! But I didn't want it. Aunt Xiang is getting late. I'm going to sell peanuts. I'll tell you about it tomorrow."

Ling Mulan happily went out, the aunts frowned, and Aunt Xiang stared at Ling Mulan's leaving back for a long time, unable to regain her senses.

Self-combing girls shouldn't like love scenes, let alone have too much contact with men.

----

"Thank you for coming to the Xiangyun Troupe tonight, today's performance is over, thank you everyone."

At the end of the performance, Ling Mulan watched Xiao Yunyu's back disappear on the stage. She left with the crowd and waited outside the theater.

The peanuts were just sold out today, Ling Mulan dangled the empty bamboo basket, kicked the pebbles on the side of the road and waited boredly, the number of pedestrians on the road became less and less.

"Mulan."

Xiao Yunyu quietly appeared behind Ling Mulan, and Ling Mulan, who was startled suddenly, took a step before turning her head.

"Mr. Xiao."

Ling Mulan glanced at Xiao Yunyu's fair face after removing makeup, and looked down at her toes shyly.

"It's been a long time! Are you hungry? I'll treat you to sweet soup."

Ling Mulan was already very happy to see Xiao Yunyu and talk to Xiao Yunyu, Xiao Yunyu even invited her to eat sweet soup, Ling Mulan never dreamed of it, she refused and shook her head.

"I'm not hungry, no need. Mr. Xiao must be tired after singing all night. Mr. Xiao should go back and have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow."

Ling Mulan's thoughtfulness made Xiao Yunyu feel a little more fond of Ling Mulan.

It is now the beginning of 1937, war is imminent, and the theater troupe can't stay here for a long time. She must capture Ling Mulan as soon as possible and take Ling Mulan away.

"But I'm hungry, I want to eat sweet soup, and I want someone to accompany me to eat sweet soup."

Xiao Yunyu stared at Ling Mulan, Ling Mulan lowered her head shyly, followed Xiao Yunyu with a slight nod.

Two bowls of sweet soup came to the table, Xiao Yunyu pushed the larger bowl in front of Ling Mulan, she drank the smaller bowl herself, Ling Mulan still hung her head and refused to drink.

"What's the matter? Don't you like sweet soup?"

In the past, when the times were good, people in Yangcheng had the habit of eating sweet soup for supper. Now that the world is bad, it is not ordinary people who can afford sweet soup outside.

Ling Mulan was born in a poor family, and grew up in poverty in her aunt's house. This was the first time she ate sweet soup outside, and she was a little at a loss.

"I'm not hungry."

She and Xiao Yunyu are not related, so she can't afford to eat this sweet soup.Ling Mulan regretted following Xiao Yunyu to the sweet soup shop.

"Eat even if you are not hungry. It is agreed that I am hungry, so you eat with me."

The life of ordinary people in this era is difficult, and the life of self-combed women is even more difficult.Xiao Yunyu guessed that Ling Mulan might seldom eat sweet soup outside, so she wanted to take Ling Mulan to eat something delicious.

Xiao Yunyu took the stage at the age of eight, and started playing Zhengdan at the age of 14. The master helped her keep her money and saved a lot of money.

She has money and won't let her live a tight life. Ling Mulan will be her woman sooner or later, and she doesn't want Ling Mulan to suffer any more.

"Eat sweet soup first, and then accompany me to eat pastries later. After eating, I will teach you how to sing. I will teach you which part you like later."

Xiao Yunyu coaxed Ling Mulan to finish eating the sweet soup and cakes, and also used the excuse of teaching opera to teach Ling Mulan how to move.

When teaching Ling Mulan the way to vocalize, Xiao Yunyu gestured excessively on Ling Mulan's chest and ate a lot of Ling Mulan's tofu.

"Mr. Xiao, it's getting late, I should go back."

Ling Mulan had been studying hard all the time, and didn't care about Xiao Yunyu's excessive behavior.Just now Xiao Yunyu walked around behind Ling Mulan and hugged Ling Mulan's waist, Ling Mulan suddenly broke away from Xiao Yunyu in a jerk, and wanted to leave with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

"I'll take you back and continue teaching you tomorrow."

The more I got in touch with Xiao Yunyu, the more I fell in love with Ling Mulan, and I discovered many cute things about Ling Mulan.

The expression of pursing his lips when he was serious, the shyness when he didn't dare to look at her, and the panic when he refused her.

She didn't want to let Ling Mulan go back easily, and wanted to stay with Ling Mulan for a while longer.
