"Shall I take you upstairs?"

As smart as Chen Shu, he can see through the thoughts of flowers at a glance.

The long-term lockdown order has finally been relaxed due to Bai Qihong's recent busyness, and she doesn't want to ruin her good future because of a paramount and let Yiqiē return to the original point.

"Let's go." First grabbed Chen Shu's arm and led him up the marble spiral staircase on one side.

Chen Shu's eyebrows stretched, and his pace easily followed.

No matter what kind of actions the girl in front of her makes, she is not pretentious at all like a rich girl in Shanghai, but is casually cute.

"It's dangerous!" Hua Ting, who had already run halfway up the stairs, couldn't help but glance back.

This hope made her unable to retract her gaze, and her instinctive curiosity prompted her to stop her progress.

Bai Qihong's perennial cold eyes seemed to contain a precious emotion that he could not let go of for many years, even if he wanted to restrain himself, but as the trilling sound of "long time no see" fell, the champagne in his hand still unceremoniously leaked his nervousness, and mischievously spilled a piece on the back of his hand; To hide his embarrassment, he raised his sleeves to cover his face and drank the remaining champagne from his glass.

Bai Qihong, who has always been able to control any scene, would actually lose his temper in front of a woman, and these few drops of champagne alone are enough to prove that Madame Bai lost.

Compared with Bai Qihong's nervousness, Zhao Yiran seemed much calmer, and the smile on his face always maintained 7 points of detachment and 3 points of flattery.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is polite.

Zhao Yiran's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, the corners of his mouth hooked a small smile, and he raised his glass to drink with him.

Then, there is no doubt about Zhao Yiran's identity, the Paramount fireworks woman who was between the two brothers Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong many years ago and finally led the two of them like fire and water, is her.

"Still not going up?" Chen Shu stood on the lower steps, tilted his head slightly, looked at Hua Ting with clear eyes, and reminded, "Several people have already noticed you." ”

"Really? Haha, I'm too gossipy. No matter how curious you are, it's not as important as freedom, and Hua continued to take a step after hearing this.

However, this foot stepped into the air, the body staggered suddenly, leaned forward uncontrollably, and before the hand was steady, he almost wanted to touch the marble ladder with the ugliest toad momentum, but fortunately, his stomach pressed a warm palm in time, and Chen Shu quickly fished her up, took her, and took her into his arms.

A fresh smell of Longjing tea lingered on the tip of her nose.

Chen Shu's smooth and even snort gently slapped the back of her ear.

Itchy slightly.

Hua listened to the uncontrollable heartbeat, perhaps an instinctive reaction, and her cheeks quickly turned red.

The second floor of Paramount is also a large ballroom and a banquet hall, and the third floor is a small light music bar and hotel called "Mesgo". At the top of the stage, a ten-meter-high golden curtain and bright red curtain flowers hang from the top of the stage, which looks unusually enchanting and gorgeous under the warm lighting, and a MAX band from Europe is standing under the curtain and playing beautiful jazz music.

The dance floor was very lively, there were already many young men and women dancing to the music, most of them were couples, unlike downstairs, all staring at Zhao Yiran like wolves.

Walking up the third floor from the revolving escalator, there is the "Meschgo", which is similar to the second floor, except that the dance floor floor of "Mesger" is made of hard tempered glass, which is smooth like a piece of ice; Surrounded by large, soft sofas with high backs and deep backrests and knee-high low tables, each with a tin ashtray and porcelain vase, the third floor is still dominated by men.

Hua Ting noticed a huge cylindrical fiberglass tower on the top floor, which is said to be when the dancers are ready to leave, the waiter can type the customer's car plate number or other code name on the tower, and the driver can see it from a distance, and drive the car to the door of the dance hall.

The service index is in no way worse than the five-star hotels in today's society.

Such a Paramount is worthy of being the most gorgeous vocal music venue in Shanghai in the 30s.

It is like a beautiful and colorful dream, living in the heart of every old Shanghainese.

"The moon and stars are scarce, and the lights are like practice. Where to send enough, high-rise buildings are wide and cold. If you don't dare to dream of traveling, I love this heaven and earth. This is a poem that was sung in Shanghai when Paramount was just built, and the words reveal the love of old Shanghainese for Paramount.

Hua heard this moment and really understood the expression on Grandpa's face at that time.

***

Since the songs sung by the band of "Mesger" are more in line with modern pop, Hua Ting found a seat to pass the time.

Seeing that she was interested, Chen Shu also sat down and ordered some snacks and soda for her.

At the next table sat a few "gentlemen" with big backs and British suits, snorting and puffing on cigars, and talking about topics such as "Fall and War of Resistance" with ease, and their self-righteous high-minded talk while their eyes drifted to Hua Ting's face from time to time......

After all, a girl with a temperament like her is very rare in old Shanghai.

Hua Ting rolled her eyes while drinking the soda by herself, when she heard the older man at the next table say that "according to the current trend, it is better to move closer to the Japanese", Hua Ting "bang" put the soda in her hand on the coffee table, no matter how many curious eyes it aroused, she moved the sofa chair under her buttocks hard, approached Chen Shu a little, and said to him in a strange tone: "Chen Shu," the volume is not high enough, start again, "Chen Shu, Let's sit back and see what happens to those traitors, I promise there will be a good show to watch! ”

Chen Shu was stunned by Hua when he heard this, and a smile stuck in his mouth, extremely embarrassed.

The conversation at the next table came to an abrupt end, and several men looked over to the flowers.

Hua Ting stared at the unknown band in front of him, and pretended to hum a few words to show comfort.

One of the gentlemen, feeling embarrassed, got up and walked up to her, bent down slightly, and said with a serious expression: "What does this young lady think differently about the war?" If you don't mind, please sit over there. He reached out and made an inviting gesture.

Hua Ting's eyelids drooped, and he waved his hand and said, "I don't have any opinion, you like to take refuge in whomever you like." ”

Looking at Hua Ting's uninterested look, the man was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were quickly attracted by Hua Ting's exposed white and smooth calves, after all, accosting is the main purpose of men.

"So, can I ask Miss to do a dance?"

The man bent his waist lower.

"First ask me if the male ticket agrees." Hua Ting glanced at Chen Shu on the side.

Male ticket? Although the girl in front of her is a strange word, it is not difficult to understand.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shu entered the play in a second, and said directly: "I don't agree." ”

It almost made her laugh.

While the man was still embarrassed, Hua Tingyi pulled up Chen Shu on the seat and led him to the center of the dance floor to jump on the jumper.

Since both of them are novices, they dance particularly awkwardly among a group of experienced dancers, and Hua Ting only learns the movements of the people around her, jumping wildly to the rhythm, but fortunately, she is a smart person, and she dances well after a few rhythms; It's just that Chen Shu really has no talent in this area, his limbs are too stiff, and he can't be smooth, but he is willing to accompany her.

Yu Guang swept to the man and returned to his seat stupidly, Hua Ting was in a good mood, looked at the face in front of him less than ten centimeters away from him with a smile, and said, "Chen Shu, we are the two of you all the way!" ”

"Really?" Chen Shu's face was delicate.

"Of course!" Flowers should be loud and eye-catching.

Chen Shu in front of him has short inky hair and a pair of brown pupils, when he is not speaking, his eyes are quiet and clear, but at this moment, he is illuminated by the warm yellow light above his head, becoming warm and soft, like a pool of spring water with a trace of warmth, slowly stirring in his heart......

accidentally lost his mind, and a Ding Yaoyi's face suddenly popped up in his mind, and the flower bounced away like an electric shock.

Chen Shu was a little unclear, and his amber eyes were a little misty for a while.

Which play does this little girl want to play?

"Don't jump."

A heart full of guilt.
