Hibiscus blooms on the edge of the city wall

"Xiaofu, do you know that a dance will be held at the Navy Club on the 76th in a few days?" Xu Rumei asked.

"What does holding the ball on the 76th have anything to do with us?" Mingfu looked at Xu Rumei in confusion.

"I want to go."

"why?"

"Xiao Fu, can you ask Brother Minglou to find a way to get me an invitation letter?" Xu Rumei tugged Ming Fu's arm fawningly.

"Rumei, what are you doing there?" Mingfu brushed Xu Rumei's hand away and asked suspiciously.

"I... I'm going after Brother Minglou!" Xu Rumei's expression was a little unnatural.

"Chasing after my elder brother? Is it necessary to go there?" Mingfu's face was full of disbelief.

"Why not? Think about it, that woman Wang Manchun will definitely go there that day. I have to watch them and prevent Wang Manchun from taking advantage of it." Xu Rumei continued to defend stubbornly.

Mingfu looked at Xu Rumei without saying a word, and finally Xu Rumei couldn't take it anymore, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Fu, please, I really have to go."

"reason?"

"I'm sorry, Xiaofu, I can't tell you." Xu Ru lowered her brows with an unnatural expression.

Mingfu looked at Xu Rumei's appearance and knew that she would never be able to ask about this matter. She and Rumei grew up together, and she knew her character very well. There must be some special reason for insisting on going to the dance today. Mingfu thought that recently, Rumei and some progressive students in the school got very close. Maybe it was because of this, Mingfu thought. I have already guessed a rough idea, but on the surface, I didn’t miss any details, with a embarrassed look: "Rumei, are you really going? That kind of place, either Japanese or traitors, how dangerous is it?"

"It's okay, I'm just going to have fun, it's okay." Xu Rumei saw that Mingfu's tone was a little loose, and quickly promised that he would just go and have a look, and promise not to cause trouble.

"Well, I'll try it, but I don't know if my elder brother agrees with it."

"Thank you Xiaofu, I know you are the best!" Xu Rumei hugged Mingfu happily.

"It's good to know, let's go, treat me to something delicious."

"Okay, you can choose the whole Shanghai as you like."

Shanghai International Hotel, because of the invitation letter, Mingcheng was pestered by Mingfu for a whole afternoon,

Mingfu coquettishly tugged at the corner of Mingcheng's clothes: "Brother Ah Cheng, just get me two invitations, okay?"

"Not good." Mingcheng shook off Mingfu's hand impatiently.

"Are you sure you don't care?" Minfu pouted, her face covered with frost.

"Xiaofu, it's not that I won't take you there. What are you doing there? What kind of place is that? How dangerous are demons and ghosts appearing together?"

"I don't care, I just want to go." Mingfu said willfully: "I have to watch you, who knows what's going on between you and your brother and the Japanese?"

"Nonsense." Mingcheng shouted angrily in a low voice.

Mingfu had never seen Mingcheng angry before, and she was a little scared, but she didn't back down, because she knew that once she backed off, the matter would be completely lost. "Who is messing around, you don't love me anymore!" Ming Fu pretended to be very wronged and began to cry.

Mingcheng was entangled with one head and two big ones, and he couldn't bear Mingfu to cry, so he softened his tone: "Then I'll ask the elder brother."

Hearing Mingcheng's tone, Mingfu knew that the matter was more than half over. She laughed secretly and used her last trump card, never giving the enemy any chance to breathe: "I don't care, anyway, if you don't give me the invitation letter, I'll tell my elder sister, you and elder brother returned to Shanghai but didn't go home, and even went to become officials in the new government!" Mingfu said threateningly.

"You..." Mingcheng was angry.

When Mingfu handed the two invitation letters to Xu Rumei the next day, Xu Rumei's admiration for Mingfu was like a torrential river.

"Thank you!" Xu Rumei put the invitation letter into her bag, turned around and was about to leave.

"Why are you going?" Mingfu grabbed him.

"Why don't I do it, go home and get ready, and try to use my beauty to take down Big Brother Minglou in one fell swoop." Xu Rumei posed in a charming pose, pointing at Mingfu.

"Pfft." Mingfu laughed. "Then let's go shopping together."

"I'll just go by myself, why are you going?" Xu Rumei asked suspiciously.

"Miss, didn't you see it? These are two invitation letters, one of which is mine, OK?" Mingfu said angrily.

"Xiao Fu, what are you going to do?" Xu Rumei asked nervously, putting aside her joke.

"Are you stupid? If I don't say I'm going to play, how can I ask for an invitation letter? You can't say you're going to play by yourself. If I don't go, then my elder brother will give me the blame!"

"That's right, but now that you've got the invitation letter, don't go there, it's quite dangerous."

"Now that I know the danger, wasn't it very brave yesterday? In this case, you are not allowed to go."

"Xiaofu, stop making trouble, I must go." Xu Rumei said seriously.

"Rumei, I don't know why you must go to the prom, but if I don't go, my elder brother and brother Ah Cheng will definitely be suspicious. Then you may have trouble with what you are going to do. I will at least be able to Covering you!" Mingfu said pointedly.

"Xiaofu, I don't want to trouble you..."

"Whether it's related or not, didn't you say that you just wanted to see it, and you didn't want to assassinate any Japanese." Mingfu said casually.

"Xiaofu, thank you..." Xu Rumei knew that Mingfu was worried about herself, so she said moved.
