Shigeru Sawada is a descendant of Japanese aristocrats, highly educated, and admires Chinese civilization, and has worked hard to learn Chinese culture since he was a child. Lan Ruoya has been educated in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she can't give full play to her talent in the face of those who only know sex, but this Sawada Shigeru was impressed by Lan Ruoya's talent that contains Chinese culture. Because of this kind of worship from the heart, Sawada Shigeru is not like those secular thieves, every time he invites Lan Ruoya to come, he plays the piano and discusses painting, cooks tea and plays chess.

In this way, Lan Ruoya also has a slight affection for Sawada Shigeru. But the Japanese invaders came to kill people after all, and after witnessing Shigeru Sawada's order to kill and exterminate his compatriots, Lan Ruoya's heart was full of pain. She felt like thousands of eyes were watching her from behind, and those eyes were tearful and bleeding. But what can she do as a weak woman? The pain in her heart makes her even more confused and confused in this chaotic era. But in the depths of her heart, there is still a little bit of flame and a little bit of light, every time in the dead of night, Mr. Wang's appearance will clearly flash in her mind, Lan Ruoya unconsciously gradually fell in love with this strange man who only had one side.

Time passed, and there was still more than a month left before that grand ball. Not only are all walks of life in Shanghai preparing for this ball, but the Japanese also attach great importance to this ball, and this is an excellent opportunity to contact all parties to appease the upper and lower levels so that it can be used as an international propaganda, and the Japanese want to hold this ball in a grand and grand manner to show the so-called prosperity after their invasion, although the war continues, the Japanese have invited their allies and some well-known international media to report on this so-called 'prosperous era'.

At this time, the whole of Shanghai was already under martial law, and although they could still enter and exit freely, the control was much stricter, especially the Japanese high command in Shanghai, which was protected like an iron bucket. Even officials of the puppet national government had difficulty entering. But there is that bit of red in the green, Lan Ruoya is an exception, Sawada Shigeru's love and admiration for Lan Ruoya is really uncontrollable, and he actually gave Lan Ruoya a supreme special pass, and sent a special driver to let Lan Ruoya freely enter and exit the High Command when he wants to see her. People from all walks of life never thought that a dusty woman would get such glory, and began to befriend Lan Ruoya. Lan Ruoya struggled to deal with these ugly faces, looking at the bodies of these minions, as if she saw the pain of the destruction of the country in her heart.

On this day, in the separate lounge of the Supreme Command Sawada Shigeru, Lan Ruoya played an ancient music for Sawada Shigeru with a pipa. The pipa is clanging, like a knife cut, like an iron strike, like a war horse roaring, showing a picture of cold weapons battlefield fighting in this quiet space.

Sawada Shigeru listened a little intrigued, his eyes closed slightly, as if he had also come to the battlefield in this clanging pipa sound, and felt a trace of pleasure when he watched the fight in all directions. With the plucking of Lan Ruoya's fingers, this battle gradually came to an end, and the high-pitched and whirlwind-like playing was also soothed. Lan Ruoya's jade fingers were lightly crossed, and she swiped on the strings, and suddenly the sound of the piano stopped, and the bloody battlefield immediately disappeared into the quiet air.

"Good, good, wonderful, Miss Lan, every time your piano sound always surprises me, thank you so much. Sawada Shigeru stood up and bowed slightly, and Lan Ruoya also stroked the piano and returned the salute. "You are so polite, and your understanding of my Chinese culture and knowledge is even more surprising to the little girl. ”

"Haha, Miss Lan, please sit down, I have been yearning for Chinese civilization since I was a child, everything here is full of history, culture, and the thoughts of the ancients. I've been here many times since I was younger, and I'm really fascinated by everything about it, it's so beautiful. Just like you, Miss Lan, you are also the most beautiful Oriental woman I have ever seen, and there is no woman like you in Japan, especially your talents, you are simply the Venus of the East. ”

Lan Ruoya said humbly: "You have complimented me, little girl, I have only learned a few things, in the face of China's vast civilization, my knowledge is just a grain of rice." ”

"You're too modest, if you're all grains of rice, then we're not even floating dust. Okay, Miss Lan, don't be modest. Miss Lan, I have a gift for you, and I hope you don't refuse to accept it with a smile. Sawada Shigeru said, solemnly took a very gorgeous small box over, and raised his hands in front of Lan Ruoya.

"Well, you're so polite. Lan Ruoya didn't want to accept gifts from the Japanese, but Sawada Shigeru was also a figure she didn't dare to offend, although this person was gentle and elegant when facing her, but his ferocity was as terrifying as the devil. "Thank you for your kindness, then I will be disrespectful. Lan Ruoya took the gorgeous box with both hands.

This Sawada Shigeru has not only been influenced by Eastern culture, but also learned a lot about Western culture, and has imitated Western culture in many etiquette customs, just like this gift, the Eastern tradition is opened by the host after the guest leaves, but the Western etiquette is that the host should open the gift in front of the guest, so as to show respect for the guest.

Through this period of contact, Lan Ruoya somewhat understands the habits of Sawada Shigeru, so after taking the box, she opened the lock of the box lightly, and when the lid of the box was lifted, she saw that there was a piece of jade with a simple shape inside, the jade shape can be one-third the size of a palm, into a semicircle, the jade is polished very thin, and the delicate and dense patterns are carved with hollow technology, which seems to be a depiction of fairyland. The color of this jade is white, the edges seem to be transparent, but the inside is a milky white color like mutton fat.

Although Lan Ruoya has not studied jade, she has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she feels very precious at a glance. The texture of the jade itself is not to mention, that is, the carving on it can really be described as a ghostly workmanship, Lan Ruoya does not see it carefully and has not felt it, this meticulous inspection was suddenly surprised by this process, the detailed carving, the plump shape, although the clouds and mist figures on it are almost the size of a grain of rice, but the mouth, nose, ears and eyes, and the layers of the clouds are carved meticulously and vividly. Lan Ruoya was a little stunned.

Sawada Shigeru couldn't help but smile a little smugly when he saw Lan Ruoya's shock when she saw this gift. "Miss Lan, the carving of this jade pendant is certainly unpredictable, but its wonder is not limited to this, let me show you it. ”

Lan Ruoya was even more surprised when she heard this, and handed the box back to Sawada Shigeru with both hands. Sawada Shigeru carefully took out the jade pendant, casually lit a standing lamp standing next to it, reached out and placed the jade pendant in front of the light, and slowly rotated his wrist. I saw the light refracted through the jade pendant, with the rotation of the jade pendant, the milky white color began to circulate in the jade pendant like flowing water, and gradually the carved fairyland seemed to be alive in general, the clouds seemed to come true, and the clouds around the jade pendant showed the clouds that were like nothing, and those immortals the size of rice grains also seemed to fly elegantly in the clouds. Lan Ruoya blinked vigorously, wondering if she had an illusion of dazzling, but when she looked closely, she felt that the cloud seemed to be a little better than Fang Cai. Sawada Shigeru glanced at Lan Ruoya's expression and couldn't help but smile slightly, withdrew his arm, and carefully put the jade pendant back into the box.

Sawada Shigeru looked at Lan Ruoya and asked, "Miss Lan, I don't know how you feel?"
