The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

The clock on the pocket watch passed twelve thirty. Wang Luan was sitting in the car, looking at Qi Chensheng who was driving beside him. In his hands were the two movie tickets stained with Liu Huandeng's blood.

The car was still driving forward, although their destination was also in a prosperous area, but in the middle of the night at this time, the surrounding streets and alleys were already empty and lonely, only occasionally passing by two or three long-burning electric lights.

"Dasheng Theater..." Wang Luan read the name on the movie ticket in a low voice, and he also had some impressions of this place. Hearing from Fengshan and the others, it is a place where you can not only watch movies, but also listen to operas and music.

But at this moment, what he cares about is not what can be done here, but——

"Shen Sheng, have you been there?"

Qi Chensheng manipulated the steering wheel, turned around another intersection that was deserted, nodded: "I've been there a few times, it's quite normal in that place, but..."

"But it has something to do with the Yang family?" Although it seemed unfounded, Wang Luan still expressed his guess.

"Yes," as expected, Qi Chensheng nodded, and said in a low voice, "Brother Jiu guessed right, it used to be the former site of the Yang family's old house."

Although the Yang family was considered a well-known family in Yunchuan back then, about 20 years ago, due to repeated failures in business, the situation was not as good as before.

Coupled with the fact that there are many descendants, and they all have their own ideas, they finally separated in a daze.In a few years, even the old house was mortgaged, and most of the Yang family also left Yunchuan.

"When I was seven or eight years old, the house was still there. Although the family was separated, I still had to go around with the elders during the festivals."

"Later, the Yang family moved away, and the place became deserted day by day, and was sold several times. It was completely demolished and rebuilt a few years ago, and it became the Dasheng Theater."

After hearing this, Wang Luan looked down at the movie ticket in his hand again, with a more complicated expression.

If the incident this time could only be regarded as a secret temptation from the beginning, then it has become a blatant "invitation" since they caught Liu Huandeng and got the movie tickets.

The other party was obviously quite confident, pointing them to the old address of the Yang family, and then——

A faint worry rose in Wang Luan's heart. Since five years ago or even longer, that person hiding in the dark has been eyeing Qi Chensheng, but now they still can't figure out what the other party wants to do.

The car stopped, and not far ahead, you could see the not-so-small building standing in the darkness.

Qi Chensheng didn't get out of the car immediately, but held Wang Luan's hand holding the movie ticket.

"Is brother Jiu afraid?"

Wang Luan was slightly stunned, then shook his head, leaning gently into Qi Chensheng's arms: "No, I didn't feel afraid."

But worry cannot be avoided.

Qi Chensheng lowered his head and kissed Wang Luan's hair, and patted the back of the man in his arms, while looking through the car window at the theater that seemed to have a gloomy atmosphere.

"I know what brother Jiu is thinking."

"However, since the other party has been scheming for so long, I'm really tired of it. Why don't we go and see as soon as possible to see if we can get rid of this layer of shame."

------

The two finally got out of the car, held each other's hands tightly, and walked to the door of the Dasheng Theater.

As if they had been waiting for them for a long time, the originally closed door suddenly opened slowly without making a single sound. In the silence, an unknown depth was brewing.

The moonlight couldn't shine into it at all, and Wang Luan could barely see that there was a long corridor ahead, but he didn't know where it led.

At this time, Qi Chensheng's gentleman's staff also appeared in his hand, his residual eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped lightly on the ground seemingly casually, and then there was a harmonious feeling at the place where the tip of the staff touched the ground. The starburst illuminates the surroundings.

"Let's go, Brother Jiu, let's go in."

Wang Luan nodded, holding Qi Chensheng's hand, and the two of them walked towards the deep corridor. Every step they took, Qi Chensheng's gentleman's stick would hit the ground, leaving a little bit of starlight behind.

Although it was still dark ahead of the two of them, the places they walked were already star-studded, and every step was radiant.

"Welcome two guests—"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly echoed in the empty theater, perhaps because it was too hoarse, neither Wang Luan nor Qi Chensheng could tell whether the speaker was the old lady of the Qi family.

"Please come here, why don't you show up and meet?"

Qi Chensheng stroked the gentleman's stick in his hand, his blind sight became strangely clear in the darkness.

"You child...you have been impatient since you were a child."

This elder's tone seemed to ignite a spark that was already dissociated in Qi Chensheng's heart.

Naturally, Wang Luan could hear that the tone was really deceiving, but he still tightened the hands they held together, and shook his head at Qi Chensheng.

Now that the opponent is in the dark and they are in the light, it is really not a good time to do it.

Fortunately, today's Qi Chensheng has long passed that youthful and vigorous time. Instead of letting his anger spread, he suppressed his emotions, held Wang Luan's hand, and continued to look around indifferently.

"Neither meet nor we will not stay here for a long time. Let's leave."

After speaking, they looked at each other with Wang Luan, and the two pretended to turn around and were about to leave, when the old voice sounded again.

"Wait a minute...it's already here, why do you have to leave so soon?"

"You might as well watch that movie... After all, Mr. Wang has been making the movie for so long."

Wang Luan felt a little nervous when he heard this, he took so long to shoot the film?In other words, Liu Huandeng's so-called movie was indeed filmed for this person from the very beginning.Although Liu Huandeng is dead now, the film has fallen into his hands.

However, the other party made such a move, and the movie that came out did arouse Wang Luan's interest.Of course he knew what he had acted, but he was afraid that if he got into the hands of the other party, he would be changed into an unrecognizable appearance.

"That's fine." Since the other party has already thrown out his goal, Qi Chensheng didn't mind continuing to circle around, and turned to look at Wang Luan: "After all, we can't let Brother Jiu work in vain. Let's take a look together."

The person hiding somewhere suddenly became silent, and a door at the end of the corridor creaked open, revealing a gloomy light inside.

"That should be the screening hall." Although Wang Luan had never been here, thinking about what the voice said just now, he naturally thought of where they were going.

Qi Chensheng hummed lightly, then took Wang Luan's hand and walked to the half-open door.

Sure enough, the first thing that could be seen inside were rows of empty seats, and there were only the two of them in the audience tonight.

And on the large screen in the middle, there was already an unclear image, as if waiting for them to take their seats.

"Where does Brother Jiu want to sit?" Qi Chensheng looked coldly at the auditorium, but when talking to Wang Luan, he was as gentle as ever.

At this time, it doesn't matter where you sit, but Wang Luan still smiled, invisibly relieving the heavy atmosphere. He took Qi Chensheng's hand and sat near the screen.

"I also want to know if I can act well, and I can see it clearly if I get closer."

A little smile also appeared in Qi Chensheng's eyes, he sat next to Wang Luan, and looked at the curtain suspended in mid-air with him.

As the two sat down, the light and shadow on the screen gradually changed, and what slowly appeared was the old courtyard of the Xu family where the filming took place.Immediately afterwards, the figures of Zhu Chenghuan and Feng Ating also walked gracefully from under the snow-covered corridor.

It's a pity that Wang Luan remembered that they were filming the newly emerging sound film, but because the filming was not finished and there was no recording, all the scenes he saw at this moment were silent.

But that's okay, both of them are very familiar with the script and the direction of the story, even if there is no sound, they can understand it completely.

In this way, the pair of young sisters met a strange young man while admiring the snow in the garden of their grandfather's house.

Zheng Huanxiang, played by Wang Luan, appeared. Although Qi Chensheng had already engraved Wang Luan's appearance in his heart, he suddenly saw Wang Luan's gentle and seductive appearance hidden on the screen, even though he was facing each other day by day. Also don't have a taste.

"How does Shen Sheng feel?" Wang Luan leaned over in a timely manner, half pillowing on Qi Chensheng's shoulder.

"Of course Nine Brothers acted well." Qi Chensheng raised Wang Luan's chin slightly, even though he didn't outline the bewitching eye ends like in the movie at the moment, but in Qi Chensheng's eyes, there was no less temptation.

"Now I'm glad that this movie can't be finished, otherwise---how many people's hearts will be won by brother Jiu."

The corners of Wang Luan's lips raised slightly, but he didn't refute Qi Chensheng's words, he just rested his pillow on his shoulder again: "That's true, but I just want to win Chen Sheng's heart... don't leave anything else."

The two people under the screen seemed not to be oppressed by the dark atmosphere around them at all, and were immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere.The stories on the screen also have a consistent trend. The eldest sister of the Fang family and Zheng Huanxiang began to fall in love with the help of their family members.

This episode is actually not long, and Qi Chensheng deleted a lot of intimate actions, so it is inevitable that it is just plain and boring.But what really surprised Wang Luan was that more shots in the movie were not aimed at the two people who were in love, but the little sister of the Fang family who was quietly hiding in an inconspicuous place with a bitter heart of secret love. .

And unlike in the previous script, the younger sister of the Fang family was not only sad because she fell in love with her prospective brother-in-law, but also gradually showed dissatisfaction with the family arrangement.

Standing in front of the window, she watched her sister interact with Zheng Huanxiang, the veil in her hand was getting tighter and tighter between her fingers, and the originally beautiful and petite face had a slightly distorted expression——

Almost at a certain moment, Wang Luan seemed to feel that the younger sister of the Fang family on the screen was no longer the face of Feng Ating, but more like the young old lady of the Qi family, Yang Lingyue, in the old photo.
