[The Pretender Lou Cheng] Non-public Notes

"Brother, I'm going out first." Mingcheng took his coat from upstairs and went down the stairs, and informed Minglou who was sitting in the hall.

Minglou was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, when he heard Mingcheng's voice, he raised his head and said "um", nodded at him, then lowered his head to continue reading the newspaper.

Mingcheng knew what Minglou meant, so he raised his legs and was about to walk towards the door, but before he could move his legs, he heard Mingtai's shout from upstairs—"Brother Ah Cheng!"

Mingtai was holding a suit jacket in his hand, yelling: "Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait!" while running down the stairs.

"What's the matter?" Mingcheng stopped and turned around and asked, seeing Mingtai as if he was about to fly down from upstairs, he couldn't help telling him, "Slow down."

"This dress isn't hung properly, it's all wrinkled. What do you think should I do?" Mingtai took a long leg, jumped in front of Mingcheng, and stretched out the suit for him to see.

"I'll iron it for you when Ah Xiang comes back." Mingcheng was in a hurry to go out, so he replied a little impatiently.

"I can't find her." Mingtai wrinkled his face, looking pitiful.

Minglou glanced at the two of them from the side, shook the newspaper in his hand, and interjected, "Ah Xiang went to the Town God's Temple to do some shopping, and I don't know when she will be back."

Before Mingcheng came back to his senses, Mingtai hurriedly called out "Brother Acheng" sweetly, and then said coquettishly, "Your ironing is much better than that of Axiang. I have class reunion today, I have to wear it."

Mingcheng frowned, and looked at Mingtai in embarrassment, "You are really troublesome. I have to go out now."

"I don't care." Mingtai stuffed the suit jacket into Mingcheng's arms, as if throwing a hot potato, looked at Mingcheng with raised eyebrows, "I'm going to wear it tonight! Besides, aren't you What's the point of going to see a Japanese who was beaten!"

"What are you talking about, I'm going to work." Mingcheng reprimanded Mingtai with a straight face, the little bastard was getting used to being more and more lawless.

Mingtai stiffened his neck, boldly, and threatened Mingcheng, "If you don't iron for me, I'll tell my elder sister that you'd rather ignore me than a Japanese, so you can figure it out." With a big stride, he rushed up the stairs at once.

"Hey!" Mingcheng pointed at Mingtai's back, before he could see the figure before the words of admonition came out, he turned to face Minglou, and said angrily, "This guy really knows how to deal with us. "

Minglou has been watching the play from the sidelines, looking like he has nothing to do with himself. He suppressed a smile and said, "You just know, he has our family's magic weapon in his hand——Elder Sister. It can be used at any time." Then he raised his eyes to look at Mingcheng, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Mingcheng was holding his breath, stretched out the suit in his hand and shook it in front of Minglou, and resentfully said, "How can I leave? Who will do the job after I leave?" Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, like Columbus stared at Minglou after discovering the New World, "Huh?"

Minglou turned his head in slow motion, seeing Mingcheng sizing him up and down with malicious intentions, he said in surprise, "No way, you dare to fight my idea?"

Mingcheng took it for granted and said with a serious face, "What? You defeated him, and he vented his anger on me. If I don't ask you, who should I look for?" He threw the suit to Minglou, and pointed at him like Mingtai. He threatened, "Iron it better, if you can't iron it well, the eldest sister will find you." After finishing speaking, he quickly slipped away.

In the afternoon, Mingcheng went to the Japanese Army Hospital under the guise of visiting Secretary Li, and more importantly, to find out the ward where the traitor Xu He was.

At dinner, Mingcheng returned home, and saw Axiang waiting in the lobby as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Ah Cheng, you are back. The eldest lady and the eldest young master are waiting for you to eat." Ah Xiang hurried up to meet her and said with a smile on her face.

Mingcheng felt strange, and asked Ah Xiang, "Why don't you let them eat first? What are you laughing at, little girl?"

Ah Xiang covered her mouth and snickered, followed Ming Cheng to the dining room, and whispered in his ear, "The young master was supposed to let him eat first, but the young miss said—" Ah Xiang imitated Ming Jing, Straightened her waist, put down her chopsticks, "Mingtai is not at home, neither is Ah Cheng, and you and I can't eat any more." Ah Xiang giggled, "Didn't you see the expression on Eldest Young Master's face at that time... ..."

Mingcheng imagined it for a while, and couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh. As soon as he stepped into the restaurant, he heard Ming Jing's voice.

"One or two of you, I can't even see people every day. It's Chinese New Year, and home doesn't feel like home anymore." Ming Jing looked a little angry, and his voice was a little stern.

Mingcheng didn't bother to laugh at Minglou at this time, he quickly looked at Mingjing with an apologetic smile, and said softly, "Sister, I'm back." Then he tiptoed to Minglou and sat down.

Ah Xiang quickly went into the kitchen and put a bowl of rice in front of Mingcheng. Seeing that he finally wanted to go home for dinner, Mingjing calmed down a little and asked, "Where's Mingtai? He left without saying a word at night." gone."

Minglou and Mingcheng looked at each other quietly, and then replied, "He went to the class reunion, and I'm afraid he will be back later today."

Ming Jing snorted and said angrily, "If I find out that he went to some kind of fireworks room with his classmates, see if I don't break his legs!"

"No, no, no." Minglou waved his hands again and again to appease Ming Jing, "I'll take care of him for you, absolutely not today." Then he picked up cucumber slices for Ming Jing and persuaded with a smile, "Elder sister, eat more Order this, put out the fire~”

Ming Jing glanced at him, but the anger finally dissipated.

After dinner, Mingcheng coaxed Mingjing to be happy again, and the three siblings sat in the living room, drank a glass of red wine, and chatted about homework for a while.After two glasses of wine, Ming Jing felt sleepy and got up first to go back to his room.Minglou and Mingcheng poured another cup, took the cups and went back to the room.

After closing the door, Minglou still looked slightly drunk from the drink just now. He asked Mingcheng with clear eyes, "How is it? Have you found out Xu He's ward?"

"Well," Mingcheng nodded, and replied, "I found out, I watched Yoko Nantian enter and leave his ward with my own eyes."

"Okay." Minglou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard the news, he patted Mingcheng on the shoulder, and said approvingly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Mingcheng shook his head with a smile, and whispered in Minglou's ear, "There is another windfall."

Minglou was disturbed by Mingcheng's breath, and his breathing rhythm was disturbed. He turned his head to avoid the smell of Mingcheng who was too close, and looked at him suspiciously, "What gain?"

"In the ward today, Secretary Liu accidentally spilled water on my sleeve, and she hastily took out the handkerchief she carried with her to wipe it for me." Mingcheng recalled the scene at that time and lowered his voice, "The handkerchief's I’ve seen the exact same style in Takagi’s hands.” He continued, “If it’s a coincidence, then it’s too much of a coincidence.”

Minglou nodded, thought for a while, and told Mingcheng to pay attention to this line.He shook his goblet, walked to the window, looked out at the dark night sky where no stars could be seen, and sighed leisurely, "I don't know how Mingtai's operation is going tonight..."

Mingcheng walked to his side and stood side by side with him. He took a sip of the wine in his glass and smiled slightly, "Brother should have more confidence in Mingtai. It's not the first time he has performed a mission, and he won't let you down." of."

Minglou curled his mouth, turned his head to look at Mingcheng, and smiled, he didn't let himself continue to worry about Mingtai's affairs, so he changed the topic, "By the way, eldest sister is a little angry today, don't take it to heart. "

Mingcheng frowned and glanced at Minglou, "Brother, what are you talking about? The whole family won't hold grudges no matter how quarrelsome they are." After speaking, he couldn't help sighing, "I probably understand what Eldest Sister is thinking. .”

"Yeah," Minglou also took a long breath, "She told me today that she hoped that I could go to Chongqing, and she said that she couldn't sleep when she thought that I might be blackmailed by people who misunderstood me when I left the house. She would rather I go to Chongqing to find an official position." Minglou felt sore, he could neither leave Shanghai to avoid the fear of his elder sister, nor could he fulfill her wish so that Mingtai could continue to live without worries. His choice has long existed in name only, his throat choked up, and the words in his heart could only be spoken to Mingcheng, "Eldest sister, she is just afraid, afraid that she will lose us."

Why did Mingcheng feel better, he also chose the motherland between the country and the family, under the collapse of the nest, how can there be any eggs?Although he never regretted making this choice, he truly felt distressed for what Minglou had endured.

He reached out to take away Minglou's wine glass, put it on the window sill together with his own, then turned Minglou's face, covered his lips, and kissed him tenderly and firmly.

Minglou didn't let go of his lips until Minglou's breathing was unsteady and he hugged him tightly. He pressed against Minglou's forehead and spread a smile that made Minglou feel comfortable, "Then we must be more cautious and step by step, Don't let Big Sister lose us."
