Chapter 32: A Chance Encounter in the Theater
"Sister, what is an opera? like a movie?"
"Opera is a play that is performed in the form of singing, but it is all in a foreign language, so I don't know if you will like it. ”
At the door of the theater, Xiang Tian and Mei turned their heads to look at the troubled voice, like the pair of sisters and brothers they met in Hong Kong before, but due to the past five years, their height and appearance have changed a lot.
Xiang Tian looked at the elder sister, and Mei looked at Xiang Tian in trouble.
"Xiang Tian, don't you go up to say hello?" Mei annoyed and deliberately teased Xiang Tian.
"I don't know if it's true, but they probably don't remember us. Xiang Tian was still relatively timid and didn't dare to step forward.
"Xiao Yu, Zaizai, the time is almost up, let's go in. ”
There was another boy running next to him, and there was an adult man behind him.
Hearing the boy call their names, Xiang Tian and Mei were convinced that the two siblings had met in Hong Kong, and the girl in front of them was the sister who gave Xiang Tian lollipops in Hong Kong.
"Xiao Yu, do you remember us?" Seeing that Xiang Tian was stunned, Mei took the initiative to talk to Xiao Yu.
"I don't know. Xiao Yu glanced back and replied very simply.
"How can you not remember? We met in Hong Kong, and you gave him a lollipop. Mei was a little anxious and took a step forward to continue.
"Oh, it's you two, I thought I was talking to a kid again. Xiao Yu carefully looked at Xiang Tian and Mei's troubles, "I haven't been able to recognize them for so many years, why are you here?"
Hearing Mei Fuxing talking about lollipops, Xiang Tian's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu or speak.
"We're going to see the opera, I'm a fanatic. What about you?" said May, who always had a passion for opera.
"We came with my classmates and his father, let me introduce, this is my classmate, his name is Zheng Xifan, and his father. Xiao Yu pointed to Xifan and introduced to his father, "It was Xifan who invited us to come and see." ”
Xiang Tian...... Xiang Tian, why don't you speak?" Seeing that Xiang Tian was still stupid, Mei was still stupid, so she quickly pulled Xiang Tian over to Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, hello...... We came with my mom and dad. Xiang Tian was still very shy.
"Xiao Yu, who are they?" Seeing Xiao Yu introduce himself to others, Xi Fan also stepped forward.
"They are...... The ...... I knew before" Xiao Yu didn't want to mention it more, for fear that the matter of his younger brother's peeing of pants would be involved again.
"Oh, hello. Xifan greeted Xiang Tian and Mei Fufu.
"Xiang Tian, you listen to their calls Xiao Yu and Xi Fan, they are quite affectionate. Mei turned her head in annoyance and whispered in Xiang Tian's ear.
Xiang Tian raised his head and began to carefully look at the boy in front of him, in the past five years, Xi Fan has grown a lot taller, and the contours of his face have become more and more distinct, and he looks like a little Zhengtai. Xiang Tian also secretly looked at Xiao Yu with his spare eyes, and Xiao Yu also grew from a white and cute appearance to a little beauty now.
In Xiang Tian's heart, although it was the first time he had seen Xifan, he already had an inexplicable hostility towards him.
"Xiao Yu, Xiang Tian still has the lollipop you gave him!" Mei Fufu also saw Xiang Tian's thoughts, and leaned into Xiao Yu's ear and whispered.
Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at Xiang Tian and sighed lightly, not knowing how to answer for a while. Mei was annoyed and smiled and hooked Xiang Tian's neck, as if she had just sent out an important piece of information, and there was a posture that she would have a good show to watch next.
"What did he say to you just now, Xiao Yu?"
"What did you just say to Xiao Yu, Mei is troubled?"
Xifan and Xiang Tian asked Xiao Yu and Mei about their troubles at the same time.
"Nothing. ”
"Nothing. ”
Mei Fufu deliberately looked at the sky, and Xiao Yu looked to the side, but at the same time replied the same sentence, which seemed to be very tacit.
"The time is almost up, aren't you ready to go in?" Xiang Tian's father and mother also walked over, "You know?"
"Well, Auntie, they're siblings we met in Hong Kong. Mei said in annoyance.
"Yes, what a coincidence, you also come to see the opera?" Xiang Tian's mother recalled the first encounter in Hong Kong and glanced at Xiang Tian. "Did your mom and dad bring you here?"
"My classmate's father brought us here. Xiao Yu pointed to Xifan's father.
"Hello, hello. Xiang Tian's mother greeted the man behind Xi Fan, who was dressed in a delicate and elegant coat and had an outstanding temperament.
"Hello. Xifan's father also returned the salute with a smile, "It's almost time, let's all go first." ”
Xiao Yu and his party walked in front, Xiang Tian and his party followed behind, and Xiang Tian still secretly looked at Xiao Yu's back.
"You are really wood, why don't you talk to Xiao Yu?" Mei looked at Xiang Tian and was also anxious for him.
"Mei is worried, what did you say to Xiao Yu just now?"
"I won't tell you, you can ask Xiao Yu yourself. I'm not going to hurt you anyway. Mei continued to tease Xiang Tian, "We are brothers, don't worry, your business is my business, I will definitely help you." ”
"Help me with what?"
"Don't admit it yet, don't you like Xiao Yu?"
"No ......" Xiang Tian's face turned red again.
"Oh, then I'll tell her you don't like her later!"
"Don't, it's not that you don't like ......" Xiang Tian stopped in front of Mei Fufu.
"That's right, you see you're in a hurry. ”
Xiang Tian also felt that he had been tricked, and he no longer bothered Mei.
"Okay, you're still serious about joking with you, don't worry, I'll help you. ”
"How can you help?"
"You wait and see. Mei patted her chest and said confidently.
The crowd was mixed, and Xiang Tian's parents didn't know what the brothers in front of them were talking about, so they only cared about their safety.
Xiang Tian and his party sat down in the front row of the first floor, while Xiao Yu and his party were in the box on the second floor.
Before the opera started, Xiang Tian looked around, looking for Xiao Yu's figure, but he never found it. Mei is troubled by the fact that from the moment she entered the theater, she couldn't be distracted from other things and enjoyed the atmosphere in the theater.
The lights dimmed, the music sounded, everyone's eyes and thoughts were instantly attracted, and even their bodies couldn't help but sit up a little.
The stage, music, and singing are integrated with the entire theater, and the shocking sound echoes in the theater, and the artists' costumes, expressions, and mannerisms truly conquer everyone present. Mei's troubled heart is like a fish frolicking in the boundless sea for a while, extremely happy and free, and at the same time like a fishing boat in a storm, with the ups and downs of the waves.
He didn't actually understand what the opera was singing, but he did his homework in advance and understood the gist of the whole story, not to mention the artist's professional performance could also make people understand what the story was about. He himself wondered how there was something in this world that fascinated him so much, and it was precisely because of this that he was fascinated that he had a higher level of pursuit outside of material life.
Nearly two hours of opera, May was troubled but never distracted, and forgot about hunger. Only when the scene changed in the middle, Xiang Tian saw Mei Troublesome and secretly said a few words to his mother, and Mei Troublesome was very happy after speaking.
At the end of the opera, everyone gave a standing ovation, and when the applause faded, Xiang Tian sat back on the chair, thinking that Mei would definitely be reluctant, on the one hand, he would accompany him for a while, and on the other hand, he could continue to look for Xiao Yu in the crowd that stood up. Who knew that Mei was the first to run outside the theater.
Xiang Tian's mother didn't stop him, but just told her husband to take a good look at Xiang Tian, and she also ran out with Mei Fufu.
