"Qinglian" came, while Shen Yuezhi and Fulai sat in the background slowly eating supper.

It was already past eleven o'clock when the two of them stepped out of the theatre, there were not many pedestrians on the street, only the street lamps at the alleyway were shining dimly.

They stood under the lights and waited for the foreign cars to come, but they didn't see an empty car passing by for a long time.

Shen Yuezhi then took out a cigarette to smoke. Although it was spring, the night was still a bit chilly. Seeing that Fulai's nose was a little red, he said, "When we get back to the hotel, let's take a bath first, to keep warm."

"Well, let's rest early today and have to sing opera tomorrow. Don't smoke too much." Since Da Yuezhi joined the army and stopped singing operas, he has never left his cigarette. He is very worried that smoking too much will affect his lover's health , but it is impossible to force this person to quit smoking.

"I've smoked less recently, and I want to sing an opera. When I'm tired, smoking one is very refreshing." After he finished speaking, he took advantage of no one around to hug his dear Fulai, and kissed the still marked face.

Captain Tong was just about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of a woman's high heels behind him. Before he could react, Shen Yuezhi pulled him into his arms and led him to the side quickly, and then he heard the sound of "bang bang" Two shots were fired.

The bullet grazed Shen Yuezhi's hat brim and shot into the gray wall behind.

Major Shen didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly grabbed Fulai and was about to run back. He regretted that he didn't bring a pistol when he went out this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive.

"Why are you protecting him?" Rong Rui walked out of the shadows hysterically holding a pistol. Ever since Shen Yuezhi and Fu came to Shanghai, she would go to the theater every day to join in the show. Seeing the two loving and sweet, she went crazy. In a fever, he stole Lin Hui's gun and wanted to punish Tong Fulai.

Seeing this woman dare to show up, Major Shen was naturally very angry. He protected Fulai behind him, and replied frankly: "Because he is the person I value most."

Fu Lai was greatly surprised. It seemed that this woman lived a very good life, with a bright outfit, very much like a dancing girl in a dance hall.

"But I love you more, why didn't you choose me, and why did you choose Ye Lan, that old woman?...I finished her and the child, and you married a man, and now I want him to disappear too, so that we We can be together forever!" Her mind is full of illusory worlds, in the novel she and Shen Yuezhi are a match made in heaven, she can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality.

The Shen Yuezhi in front of her is a perfect and unique man, while the Tong man is a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and must be eradicated.

Shen Yuezhi was instantly furious, but still controlled his emotions and said in a low voice: "How can a person who doesn't know how to be grateful know how to love?"

Hearing what he said, Rong Rui hurriedly shook her head: "I know love... I have fallen in love with you since my sister and I came to Shen's house, but you don't even look at me!" After so many years, she It was the first time that she and the other party talked about their relationship openly and honestly, which made her flattered.

"To treat someone for a long time is not impulsive. I love Fulai because he has a good temperament, knows coldness and hotness, and is considerate. It has nothing to do with whether he is a man or a woman... Even if I am still a bachelor, I won't have any feelings for you, we are two people at all, and we will never meet!" Although she held a gun in her hand, Shen Yuezhi was not afraid, because judging from the posture and expression of holding the gun, the other party didn't have the courage to shoot at her. The trigger is darkened.

Rong Rui shook her head violently: "What you said is not true!" She could no longer hold the gun in her hand, and her whole body was shaking.

"Do you think I will hug the woman who killed my wife and child? I think you are crazy!" He wanted to find a chance to snatch the gun from Rong Rui's hand, so he had to distract her.

Her tears flowed down, thinking of the real life, she felt extremely sad, and couldn't help shouting: "Why don't you want me... If you married me from the beginning, Ye Lan He Haohai won't die, and I can't sleep with that pig-like man, I hate...!" Before she finished speaking, she heard a gunshot, and Rong Rui was shot A gust of blood mixed with brain matter spewed out from the back of the head, between the eyebrows, and fell to the cold ground, and immediately swallowed his breath.

Standing at the corner of the alley was a fat man. He gritted his teeth fiercely and held a revolver. The veins on his forehead stood out. He was Rong Rui's boyfriend Lin Hui.He couldn't bear his woman thinking about others and calling him a pig behind his back. He felt that his self-esteem had been greatly hurt, as if he had been thrown into the [-]th level of hell.

It all happened so suddenly that Shen Yuezhi and Fulai were stunned. When they recovered, Lin Hui lowered his head, put the gun in his arms and said in a low voice, "Let's go, it has nothing to do with you." No, I'll take care of it." After speaking, he squatted down, looked at his girlfriend lying on the green brick floor, and helped her close her eyes.

Shen Yuezhi dragged Fulai who was in a daze, turned around and left, although he didn't know the details of the other party, but this person was definitely not a kind person, he must be a bastard on the road.However, most of the gangsters talk about loyalty and say what they say, since they have nothing to do with them, don't meddle in their own business.Although he didn't kill Rong Rui with his own hands, his wife and children could finally rest in peace, and he was suddenly relieved!

Back at the hotel, Captain Tong didn't speak for a long time. When the two of them came back from the bath and lay on the bed, he asked in a low voice, "Are you going to tell sister-in-law?"

"No, it will make my sister-in-law sad if I say it, let it be... I understand Rong Rui a little bit, because she went crazy because she couldn't get it, after all, she and Fujita are the same kind of people, it's really scary. "Shen Yuezhi sighed, maybe because Rong Rui was dead, he was relieved, one life for one life, this is God's deliberate arrangement, right?

"Twisted melons are not sweet. My mother taught me this truth since I was a child, especially feelings. I can't force it." Fulai couldn't help but sigh for Rongrui. The happiest and the most beautiful, but she will only deliberately kill others because she can't get the one she loves. If she spends her precious time doing serious things, she might have become a successful woman like Miss Dong.

"Did you really bother me when I forced you to sleep with me?" Shen Yuezhi put his arms around him and asked. They had recovered for so many years and their children were grown up. They were really old couples.

Fulai shook his head: "No, it was different back then... I was born with a handicap, and I was a coolie. How could I be worthy of Boss Shen? I don't dare to think about it."

"Where are you disabled? It's just special. Besides, singing and acting is not a noble profession, and whether you are worthy or not, it is cleaner to pull a cart to make money... When that woman dies, we can live in peace. Who does this matter to?" Don't talk about it, as long as we both know." After he finished speaking, he turned off the light, hugged his dear one, and went to sleep steadily.

In the past few years, they have encountered many ups and downs, tribulations and even life and death. He believes that the future will be better and better. He wants to make Fulai and the children happy. come out.

In the evening of the next day, before the performance of "The Legend of the White Snake" started, Tong Fulai hurriedly took a newspaper and ran into the backstage, and put it in front of Shen Yuezhi.

He picked up the newspaper and searched for a very good news "A dancer in a ballroom committed suicide late at night in an alley". Seeing the photo next to the news, he knew that this news was about the murder of Rong Rui, and that man had done something wrong. Afterwards, Rong Rui committed suicide in a reasonable way.

"Got it." He said calmly and put down the newspaper.

After hearing what he said, Fulai didn't say anything else, but just turned his head and found Boss Wu sitting in front of the mirror in a dazed way wearing a suit and thinking.This guy is probably still worrying about his wife?

"Bi Ling, do you want some tea?" He walked over and asked with concern.

Liyuan Xiaosheng raised his head, smiled unattractively: "No, thank you." He went to the hall again last night, chatting with Yuehe until late at night, she sang a few tunes to himself, he never knew "Qinglian" She can pull four beards and has such a good voice. The two had a great conversation, but as long as it touched on sensitive topics, she still avoided them. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue to regard her as Yuehe, not his wife.

"After singing tonight, go out for two drinks together?" Fulai asked tentatively because he was afraid of delaying Boss Wu's pursuit of his wife.

Wu Biling shook his head: "I have an appointment, let's do it another day." He and Yue He agreed to meet again tonight, so they must not miss the appointment.

"Okay, when you are free, we have no plans for these few days." Fulai guessed that he must go to the hall to find Qinglian, but this is not the way to go, I heard that going to the hall will cost a lot, Although Bi Ling had some money, she couldn't afford to be so extravagant.

He nodded, lost in thought again.In the past, he always tried every means to be with men forever, ignoring his good wife at home. Later, when he was imprisoned by Fujita, he repented. Going back to Qinglian and becoming a prostitute, this is more interesting than Beijing opera!

In this trance state, Boss Wu stepped onto the stage, but unexpectedly he failed to devote himself wholeheartedly, always drifting away from the play and tired of coping.

The performance of this day's play was neither good nor bad. Although there were no mistakes, the perfectionist Wu Biling was very dissatisfied. The standard of the whole play let him down. When he took off his makeup, he even apologized to Shen Yuezhi.

Major Shen didn't say anything, but comforted him with a good temper, and told him to take care of Qinglian's matter, but he looked blank.

After bidding farewell to Shen Yuezhi and Fulai, he changed into a long gown and rode in a rickshaw to the alley outside the theater garden.
