The heart of the pretender is sincere

Sure enough, Lingxi and Minglou respectively received invitations from Chen Xuanyu the next day. Minglou sincerely invited Mr. Minglou and his family members to the Navy Club to attend Miss Fujita Yuriko’s welcome ball. Lingxi’s invitation was probably from Chen Xuanyu herself. It was sent, and it was written to sincerely invite Ms. Li Lingxi and Mr. Mingcheng to attend the welcome dance together.

Originally, the weather was fine today, and there was nothing to do. Mingtai suggested that everyone play badminton in the yard together. Mingtai will always remember that they were still in France two years ago. He came here interested in learning tennis, but he was beaten by Ah Cheng within a few days. Since he was autistic, he has never touched tennis since then. He knows that brother Ah Cheng is also good at badminton, and Ming Tai has practiced badminton skills hard for the past two years in order to regain his position.

So a family of five, Ming Jing was dragged out by another wife to play mahjong, while Minglou and Lingxi were sitting next to each other, drinking tea while watching Ah Cheng and Mingtai compete with each other, halfway Ah Xiang came over and called Lingxi to go After answering the phone, when she came back after answering the phone, she brought these two invitations. At this time, the badminton match between Mingtai and Ah Cheng was over, and Mingtai won the match with a slight advantage.

Mingtai was very happy after winning the ball, and showed off bluntly, "I can't beat big brother, but it's more than enough to beat you."

Ah Cheng smiled without saying a word and was not depressed after losing the game. After opening the soda and taking a big sip, he sat next to Lingxi and leaned his head to ask Lingxi to help wipe his sweat. Carefully wipe the sweat off his brow.

After wiping off Ah Cheng's sweat, Lingxi handed the invitation to Minglou, "Brother is right, just now Chen Xuanyu called me to invite me to her welcome dance, but I'm not sure if I will go or not, so I didn't agree to her for the time being, Mingtang I told her about the big brother's endorsement, and she agreed, and let big brother Mingtang follow up on the rest, you just need to pay the money."

"Okay, I see." Minglou took a glance at the invitation and put it on the table. As for Brother Mingtang, if the only problem left is to pay, let Ah Cheng do it.

Mingtai curiously opened one invitation and looked at it, then opened another and found that it was the same invitation, he was a little curious, "Who is this Yuriko Fujita?"

"It's Chen Xuanyu, she is the daughter of Yoshimasa Fujita living abroad, and she will hold an introductory dance at the Navy Club on the sixth day of junior high school, and invite us to attend." Minglou explained to Mingtai.

"The one that sings the evening scent?" Mingtai felt a little unreal. His biggest memory of Chen Xuanyu was that song, and she was the girlfriend of Qin Sanye, the owner of the big Shanghai ballroom. He didn't expect to be Japanese? !

"Yes." Minglou nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Mingtai took the two invitations and fell into deep thought. He thought that maybe these two invitations would be helpful to him. Yesterday he received an order from his superiors to obtain the deployment of troops from the Japanese Army's third war zone. At present, they have limited clues. They only know that the deployment of troops is in the safe in the confidential room of the Japanese consulate. However, there are many safes in the confidential room, and he is not sure which one it is.When he went to the Moonlight Bar to rescue Ms. Keiko, he learned from her that they seem to have obtained the code of the safe. He can't get in now. It would be good to go to the Navy Club to have a look at the Japanese Consulate. Now this invitation says Inviting Ms. Li Lingxi and Mr. Mingcheng, he has an idea in his mind and seems to be able to try it.

Ah Cheng looked at Mingtai's expression and knew that he must have thought of the mission. He exchanged a look with Minglou and understood the meaning of the other party, "Lingxi, you go, when the time comes, my eldest brother and I will go too, you just Go and accompany me, and this navy club was built in imitation of the Japanese consulate, which is similar to the consulate, there are many delicious and fun, they have a small cake that is very delicious, I will take you to try it."

Lingxi actually doesn't like to attend such dances, but it's rare for Ah Cheng to ask her to do something, "That's fine, I don't really care if I go or not."

"Then Lingxi, if you go with Big Brother and the others, you can just give me this invitation card. I had a friend who said that he wanted to go to the Navy Club to have a look, so this invitation card can be given to her." It turns out that the Navy Club is It was modeled after the Japanese consulate, so he must have a look. Mingtai thought of a cooperation plan, maybe he could bring Miss Keiko together, this invitation is very suitable for him and Miss Keiko to complete the task together.

Lingxi smiled, "Is the one friend I have is myself, or is it my girlfriend?"

"It's true that this friend didn't lie to you, and it's not a girlfriend, but an ordinary friend." Mingtai thought of the kiss in the French park the day before yesterday, and he felt that he might not be far from his girlfriend, but Suddenly a little discouraged, he doesn't even know his name.

"Okay, then you can take it."

Lingxi actually didn't believe in Mingtai, she leaned close to Ah Cheng's ear and whispered to him, "Yesterday, a little sister of mine who played well with me called me and said she saw Mingtai in French Park Here, kissing a girl in a nurse's uniform on the street, I think he has someone he likes."

Hearing this, Ah Cheng laughed, he patted Lingxi's head, and whispered in her ear, "Then you can't let eldest sister know about this."

"rest assured."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ah Cheng held Lingxi's hand in his own and refused to let go. The intimacy between them has always been open and aboveboard. She is slender, and her skin is two degrees fairer than the average person. It is even more obvious when compared with Ah Cheng's fingers. It is almost thought that the sun is going to penetrate her fingers and melt her. Move the chair closer to Lingxi, just to block the sun for her.

Mingtai watched from the side as the two of them were biting their ears and holding hands in public, with pink bubbles all over their bodies, completely ignoring the existence of the people around them, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, he snorted coldly, his heart ached. Thinking it really is the sour smell of love, he will definitely find out Miss Huizi, and then he will also show his affection every day.

When Mingtai was upset, he wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. He handed the racket to Minglou, "Master Ming, play with me, let's have another round."

"Then you have to be careful, I won't release water for you like Ah Cheng." Minglou looked at Mingtai with a funny face.

Mingtai is very arrogant, "You rely on technology, I rely on physical strength, it is not certain who will win today."

Minglou took the racket and pulled his clothes again, "Okay, then I'll teach you a lesson again."

***

After Minglou and Mingtai played a few rounds, because it was getting hot near noon, the four of them went back to the small living room together.

Mingtai occupied the whole couch casually by himself, lying on the sofa and reading a fashion magazine, Minglou flipped through his newspaper as usual, Lingxi took his sketchbook and wrote casually. Huahua thought of some inspiration, Ah Cheng cut out a plate of apples from the kitchen, saw that Lingxi couldn't move his hands, so he forked a piece and handed it to her mouth, "Try this apple, it's quite delicious."

Lingxi tasted it and found it tasted good, "Well, this apple is so sweet."

Seeing that Lingxi liked it, Ah Cheng fed her another piece, and the young master Ming fell in love with a piece of clothing in the magazine. He held up the magazine to show Minglou, "Brother, I want to buy this shirt." Lost If the ball is not used, then the eldest brother can only let the bloodletting make up for it.

Minglou glanced sideways at the magazine in Mingtai's hand when he heard the words, "This style is not novel, it's not only not novel but also a bit conservative."

"Conservative is the classic." Mingtai curled his lips and pointed to the cufflinks in the magazine, "And you see, his cufflinks are compass, so unique."

Minglou and Ah Cheng tilted their heads to look at the cuff button at the same time. It was indeed a compass, and it seemed to be okay.Minglou looked helplessly at the price on the back, "Does it look good? I think the price looks better."

"Anyway, I like it." Mingtai turned around, but he naturally has no money as a student, and of course he had to rely on his elder brother's support to buy expensive clothes, so he turned his head again, "Are you going to buy it or not?"

"Buy, buy." In fact, Ming Lou also felt that the conservative style of this dress is quite good for him, so he turned his head to look at Ah Cheng, "Ah Cheng, look at the style he chose, and choose it for me tomorrow." All in one."

"Well, good." Ah Cheng nodded, and he fed Lingxi another piece of apple. Lingxi only bit half of the rest and Ah Cheng stuffed it into his mouth. This apple is really sweet.

Hearing that elder brother wanted to buy it, young master Ming blew his hair. He stuffed all the apples in his mouth into his mouth, and said vaguely, "No! I hate people wearing the same clothes as me. Brother, you are not allowed to buy it, Brother A Cheng." You are not allowed to buy either!"

"Okay." As long as it's not a matter of principle, Minglou has always spoiled Mingtai, so naturally he won't compete with him for a piece of clothing, so he turned to Ah Cheng, "Then you buy him the style he said tomorrow." Two sets, with the cufflinks he said he likes this, besides, neither of us can buy them, otherwise the young master who wears the same clothes will be unhappy."

Ah Cheng continued to nod, ready to feed Lingxi apples again, but Lingxi shook his head and refused to eat any more. Ah Cheng felt that it was a pity to stuff all the apples into his mouth. Now he felt that the apples were not so sweet after eating too much. Don't eat.

The goal was achieved, and Mingtai happily sat up and continued to eat apples. A plate of apples was just like this.He looked at his eldest brother at the side, looking at the contented appearance of the newspaper, and asked tentatively, "Big brother, if, I mean if, I stop studying, what will happen to you?"

Minglou put down the newspaper, with no expression of joy or anger. "Are you asking me?"

"correct."

"Break your legs!"

Mingtai was a little embarrassed, "I'm joking, I'm joking, hehe..."

"You don't know how to study when you are young, Mingtai students, you have to learn to cherish the present time." Lingxi said from the side, "I am busy now, and occasionally I still wonder whether I should go to graduate school that I didn't study before. But there are no more suitable opportunities.”

"What's the matter, I'm not like you. I have such a good memory and I can learn everything quickly. In your words, I'm a scumbag, which is different from your schoolmasters." If things were fooled, he couldn't lie to the family all the time, so he always felt uncomfortable.

"Didn't your grades last year be pretty good? You also got the third place in the school in Latin." Lingxi was very puzzled. Mingtai got good grades last year, and Mingjing was very happy about it for a long time, showing off with the report card.

"My..." Mingtai was at a loss for words, but he couldn't say clearly that he didn't take the test himself, so he felt a little guilty, "I also took a lot of effort from the boss to get it, and it's not as easy as you."

Lingxi put down the sketchbook in her hand, "It was relatively easy before I went to college, but it's really not easy at all when I go to college. You have to know that you have two older brothers who are taking care of you abroad. I'm really There's really only one person."

Mingtai disagreed with Lingxi's point of view, "Then you are only living, and your studies must be much easier than mine."

"Not really. When I was a freshman, studying was not easy at all. I didn't know until I went abroad. It turns out that English also has an accent. I seemed to have learned a fake English before. I seemed to understand the teacher's class but seemed to be unable to understand I understand, and my professional class is very difficult, and the lecturer is Japanese, you don’t know how the Japanese speak English, it’s really killing me.” Lingxi specially imitated a paragraph of Japanese English for them Listen, this amused the three brothers.

"Our whole class went to learn Japanese together because of this teacher, so that he could better express the key points and we could understand them. That year, I really seemed to be listening to heavenly scriptures. "

"But it seems that you are doing well now. You have graduated successfully. I am miserable. I am not familiar with all the students in school. I am so tired every day because of studying, and I don't have much time to sleep." Ming Tai curled his lips, he felt that Lingxi's things were all pediatrics, how many times he was beaten and how many beatings he received was not comparable to Lingxi's.

Originally, it was just about cherishing the time in college, but in the end, the two of them said you and me, and it turned into a tragic meeting. Minglou and Ah Cheng were a little bit speechless beside them.

Lingxi disagreed with Mingtai's remarks, "Who is not tired of studying? My life abroad is miserable. Before at home, my mother took care of everything for me. When I go abroad, I am an idiot. I don't have anything by myself. I have to learn everything from scratch, and the food in the United States is super unpalatable. During that time, I got angry every day with mouth ulcers and hid in the quilt and cried. I didn’t dare to tell my mother. At that time, the pressure was really great and I was fat because of it. Half a year I lost thirty pounds."

For a while, the three brothers all set their eyes on Lingxi, imagining what it would be like for Lingxi to gain thirty pounds, but in their opinion, Lingxi had always been thin, with a very slender figure, and for a while she was still I really can't imagine what it would be like for her to gain thirty pounds.

Mingtai felt that compared to this, Lingxi was more miserable, "Then why don't you hire a nanny or something, I feel ashamed that a boy, Ah Cheng, wants to hire me a nanny, but you, a girl, ask I don't think it's ashamed to be a babysitter."

"It's not easy for me to hire a nanny when I live in school." Thinking of the old days, Lingxi suddenly felt nostalgic, "My mother doesn't agree with me going abroad to study alone, she wants me to stay in Nanjing, or go to other provinces to go to university. Because it is convenient for her to visit me in China, but it is very rare to go abroad. At that time, I had a big fight with my mother about going abroad. In a fit of anger, I cut off my long hair that I had kept for ten years, like I went to the United States to report alone like a tomboy, and what I thought at the time was that I had to walk the path I chose, even on my knees.”

"Then you are better than me. I don't dare to quarrel with the elder sister at all, otherwise the elder brother and brother Ah Cheng will have to take turns beating me up without the eldest sister's help."

"Yo, then you're quite self-aware." Minglou put down the newspaper in his hand after listening to the journey, and his tone was very insinuating, "In short, it's always right to listen to what your parents say. Parents must be doing it for your own good. It will not harm you, otherwise you will have to bear the suffering, and if you do something bad, you must be prepared to be punished."

Having been alluded to and felt threatened by the elder brother's family law, Lingxi made amends for herself with some embarrassment, "My mother and I didn't quarrel, it was our different views on the same thing. Friendly exchanges and discussions, that’s called a collision of ideas, although the process was not very good, but in the end the opinions were unified.”

"You're not very old, so you're just talking nonsense." Minglou shook his head, picked up the newspaper and continued to read, ignoring the two younger ones.

Mingtai, who was also alluded to, shivered, and put the last piece of apple on the plate into his mouth to change the subject, "Then why do you want to go back to China after finally getting used to it abroad? There are wars everywhere in the country, and it's not safe at all."

Speaking of going back to China, Lingxi sighed, and she went to hold Ah Cheng's hand, "I didn't plan to go back to China at first. At that time, my idea was to settle directly in the United States, and the house was optimistic about it. It was a small two-story house. The house also has a small yard. My mother and I are definitely enough for two people to live in. I have negotiated the price with the landlord and I am only going to go through the formalities. My mother has been reluctant to come to the United States before and said she wanted to stay in Nanjing. In fact, I know her I just want to stay in a place where my father remembers me, so I have decided that no matter what the reason is, I will trick my mother to go to the United States first, and then it will be up to me."

"As a result, I received news that my mother was ill, and it was a serious illness. I had no choice but to give up my plan to study for graduate school and the house I was planning to transfer. I found a lot of ways and finally returned to China, but at that time Only in time to see my mother for the last time."

Recalling that there was still an epidemic at that time, she spent a lot of effort and money to buy a ticket. After returning, she was first quarantined on the ground, and then quarantined at home after arriving home. By the time she was able to go to the hospital, her mother was running out of time.

Speaking of Lingxi, she looked at her long hair, "My mother held my hand in front of the hospital bed and said, I hope to see me with long hair reaching my waist like when I was a child, let me keep my hair back, and wait until she recovers." Comb my hair again, but I can't wait. And you've always envied me for having a good memory. A good ordinary memory may be really good, but if it reaches my level, it may not be a good thing."

"Huh?" Mingtai couldn't believe it, "What's so bad about having a good memory?"

"As far as my memory is, you won't just remember the things you want to remember, such as learning materials such as happy things, and those bad things will linger in your mind. I have to learn to distinguish what I want and what I don’t want, and I have to deliberately forget and suppress those bad memories, otherwise, once I think of those bad memories because of some opportunity, those memories will be like It’s like playing a movie, playing it back in my mind over and over again, and I have to exert a lot of effort to suppress these things, and that feeling will be as uncomfortable as Ling Chi.”

Lingxi looked at Mingtai's expression from shock to envy to sympathy, and she wanted to laugh, "This matter is actually not as serious as you imagined, as you said yourself, it is true that a good memory is better than studying. It's very convenient, and I can control my thoughts well now, generally speaking, it's not a big memory, and it usually doesn't appear in things I don't want to remember."

Ah Cheng has been held by Lingxi all the time. Although Lingxi has been laughing, he can intuitively feel the changes in her emotions. When it comes to her mother's bad memory, the fingers holding his hand will tighten , he patted Lingxi's head, "In short, I will be responsible for everything from now on."

Lingxi also looked at Ah Cheng and gave him a big smile, "Yeah."
