Xiao Dunhuang said with a smile: "Commander Tao, this is a celebration, it is so easy to relax, I am reluctant to leave." ”

Tao Xiang saw him flash in a flash and smiled. He Jingyi got out of the auditorium and got into the car, and he said leisurely: "What Mrs. Shi said also makes sense. ”

Jingyi didn't speak, Tao Xiang looked at her—she was staring at the white gauze curtain on the car window, as if she was settled, "Jingyi? ”

He called her twice, and she hurriedly turned around, smiled at him hurriedly, and asked, "What did you say?" He"

Tao Xiang looked at her and said, "Mrs. Shi didn't say that if there is a suitable person, she should be introduced to the province. ”

Jing Yi sighed and nodded.

Tao Xiang raised his hand, stroked her forehead, and said, "You don't look very happy." ”

"Nothing." Jingyi denied it. She also knew that Tao Xiang was looking at her, maybe she had a lot of doubts in her heart, so she turned her face, put her forehead on his shoulder, leaned on, and didn't move.

Tao Xiang didn't have to ask her.

Back at home, only the two of them were in the room, and Tao Xiang was silent.

Jingyi was a little apprehensive. Tao Xiang used the bathroom before she went in. When she closed the door, she hesitated, and subconsciously wanted to lock the door. The moment her hand rested on the lock, she retracted her hand and just closed it. The bathroom was filled with steam. On such a hot day, the extraordinary heat in the bathroom didn't make her feel anything wrong - she went to close the window, leaving not a single gap, still feeling cold.

She stood there for a long time holding on to the edge of the bathtub, the clear water of which was a pale blue color...... She touched the two bath bubbles and threw them in, and watched the small round balls bubbling in the water, scurrying in the water until they disappeared, and a thick layer of foam rose on the surface of the water, exuding a faint fragrance of roses.

She heard movement behind her, and before she could turn around, her body was already pressed against his solid body. She was already cold, but he was hot, she couldn't help but tremble, and the person seemed to be suddenly frightened, and he couldn't move. His arms wrapped around her waist, and with a hook of his fingers, the bow around her waist fell apart, and her thin silk nightgown floated to the side like butterfly wings...... His strong arms wrapped around her and he bowed his head to her shoulder.

Her breathing began to be rapid, but her heart suddenly panicked.

He turned her around, and the kiss moved to her lips. He grabbed her neck a little brutally, so that she couldn't move even if she wanted to...... But when his hand hooked the strap of her underwear and pulled it down, she raised her hand and grabbed his fingers, dodging the pursuit of his kiss, and said, "...... Don't want it...... I'm ......going to take a shower."

Tao Xiao couldn't stop for a moment, he just moved slightly, pressing her against the wall.

The smooth tiles of the bathroom wall were cold, and the pores of her whole body shrank, and she suddenly became more sober.

She looked at Tao Xiang, who was slightly drunk, and looked at her with a strange expression. She thought he was going to stop there, not wanting him to stop for a moment, and her pajamas quickly faded under his hands. She refused him in a panic, "...... No...... Not tonight...... Makiyuki! ”

Her voice changed tone and became sharper.

Tao Xiang was stunned, and then said lightly: "If it doesn't work, it won't work, why are you still in a hurry." ”

She turned her face away, "I'm sorry, I'm just ......"

Tao Xiang pulled her chin over and looked at her.

Jing Yi wanted to avoid his inquiring gaze, and twisted her body to avoid it first. Tao Xiang pulled her wrist and asked in a low voice, "Just what?" ”

She leaned against his scorching solid body, and suddenly her body and heart softened together. She half-turned, crossed her feet and kissed his face. The moment her soft lips touched him, she seemed to be numb like electricity, and she couldn't help but tremble and tremble.

Tao Xiang grabbed her waist and kissed her back. The kiss grew deeper and deeper, and it was not until she was shaking and breathing that she let go of her and said, "If there is anything that upsets you, you may as well tell me." ”

Jingyi pursed her lips and shook her head.

He shook his head, and the fine beads of sweat on his steaming forehead were about to roll down.

She said in a harsh tone, "I'm a little messed up...... I want to be on my own for a while. ”

"It's not that hard." Tao Xiang kissed her forehead, turned around and went out.

Jingyi still stood against the wall, for a long time, not moving......

Tao Xiang stood outside the bathroom and lit a cigarette.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and he asked, it was Ma Xingjian. Said it was a telegram coming in. He put on his cloak and opened the door and went out. The confidential secretary was waiting for him below, teaching him a stack of telenewspapers. In addition to normal military affairs, there were two telegrams from Jin Biquan, who had just returned to Shanghai. He looked at the contents of the two long telegrams repeatedly, and it took a while for him to look up and say to the confidential secretary: "Go ahead, there is no need to reply to the telegram." ”

The secretary and pony are gone, leaving him alone in the study.

The cigarette in his hand had been extinguished, so he had to light another one. But I couldn't light it several times. But a burst of fire burst into his heart, and he drew the long sword hanging from the bronze statue beside him. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the sound cut in the air was low like a whimper, and the frightened white lion had already plunged under the sofa.

Tao Xiang's sword turned in mid-air, fell gently, and the tip of the sword hit the desk in front of him.

On the glass plate pressed in the center of the desk, there is a single photograph of hers.

The tip of the sword moved, slicing across the edge of the photograph...... The sword was put away, and he sat down.

After a long time, he struck a match, lit the newspapers in front of him, and threw them in the ashtray, watching them twist, struggle, and turn to ashes in the orange flames......

61

General Shi Jingchang and his wife stayed in Lanzhou for a few days. Although General Shi was ordered to come, he himself was very interested in the construction of the Northwest Army, so under Tao Xiang's arrangement, he inspected the garrison in Lanzhou and nearby areas. As a protégé of General Shi, Xiao Dunhuang was also specially called to accompany General Shi throughout the inspection. Mrs. Shi was accompanied by Cheng Jingyi, but she was playing in the city.

On this day, Mrs. Shi offered to buy the right shoes, and Jingyi accompanied her to a store she was familiar with.

Before she entered the store to buy shoes, Mrs. Shi became interested in the leather store next to her. Jing Yi was in a good mood when she saw her shopping in the store, so she had to accompany her to go in and have a look.

There are several leather shops on this bustling street. This title of honor was given by the people of 61 countries in Russia.

It was the dog days, the business of the leather store was deserted, and Mrs. Shi came to try one by one, and the shopkeeper and the guys all came to serve carefully, warm and thoughtful. There was only a lynx fur coat, which Mrs. Shi wore extraordinarily long, and she liked it very much, and wanted to change it for her in the store. It will take at least five or six days to deliberate. Mrs. Shi was in some trouble, so Jingyi said that it might as well be okay, and she would just find a way to bring it over when she went back.

Madame Shi was a little happier again. In addition to choosing for himself, he also picked one for Shi Jingchang, and selected a few more to bring back as gifts.

"The Siberian leather goods store in Shanghai is also opened by 61 Russians, the things are the same good, and the price is more than half the price." No matter how Mrs. Shi calculates, she thinks it's a good deal.

Jingyi saw that she had almost bought it, so she reminded her about the shoes.

"I'll try this robe again." Madame Shi saw a silver fox robe, and her eyes sparkled.

The guy hurriedly brought it over and asked her to try it.

Jingyi helped take a look.

The price of buying fur in these dog days is the most suitable for the year, but it is not a good sin to put on and take off people sweating.

Mrs. Shi's interest was undiminished, and Jingyi accompanied her. The most important thing that affects her in the past few days is to accompany Mrs. Shi.

She waited for Mrs. Shi to try on the big one, and looked through the photo albums prepared for customers in the store. The contents of the photos in the booklet varieous, some of them are tall Russian women of 61 countries wearing fur, and some of them are just scarves, fur hats, and shawls arranged to look good. The guy in the shop stood respectfully to the side and didn't bother her. She had read the booklet, and Madame Shi had not yet come out, she stood up and looked at the whole fox's scarf on the counter.

The fox was lifelike, and its sparkling eyes looked upwards as if it were a chance encounter in the snow, and the beautiful creature was looking at her with its beautiful eyes...... When a customer entered the door, the copper bell hanging at the door of the store rang crisply, and she suddenly felt a shiver on her body. When I turned an eye, I was talking to a young man in a white coat and a white linen hat. Seeing her, he nodded slightly, opened his mouth to greet her, and said, "What a coincidence, Mrs. Tao." ”

Jingyi didn't expect to meet Fang Shaokang here, and she was very surprised. But seeing Fang Shaokang greeting generously, she also nodded and asked, "Is Mr. Fang also coming to visit?" ”

The guy took a box from Fang Shaokang's hand and left. Fang Shaokang walked over and said, "A few days ago, Linda customized a leather robe here, which is not very suitable, and she wants to take it back and change it." ”

"That's a bit of a problem." Jingyi thought that he was just here to deliver something, and he should leave after putting it down. Linda ...... Fei Faxian's English name turned out to be Linda...... Fang Shaokang didn't leave immediately, but waited. When she looked at him, she still felt very uncomfortable, but she had nothing to say. Fang Shaokang looked the same. Both of them looked at the long fur coat hanging from the wooden shelf in front of them, and said in unison that the coat was good. "Winters in Canada are cold, aren't they? That's a very warm coat. ”

Jing Yi said gently, Fang Shaokang didn't speak, Mrs. Shi came out of it, but she didn't put the leather robe out. Seeing Jingyi and Fang Shaokang, she nodded and said, "I still don't want it, I've already bought a lot." ”

Jingyi looked at the sweat on her forehead and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Mrs. Shi took a folding fan and fanned the wind, and the other party Shaokang said, "Mr. Fang is also here." ”

"Linda's coat is meant to be improved. And my own coat to try on today. Fang Shaokang explained.

"Mr. Fang is really patient." Madame Shi looked at him, nodded and smiled.

Fang Shaokang also smiled and said, "Linda is trying on shoes at the shoe store next door." ”

His tone is a kind of "you think that's already good, I have better here" calmness and indifference. He was already very gentle, and when he smiled and spoke like this, he really looked like a gentle man from the inside out.

"Mr. Fang is going to spoil his fiancée." Mrs. Shi praised him, but Jing Yi looked at him—his appearance was stranger than when he saw him a few days ago.

The guy came to ask Fang Shaokang to try on the coat, he politely said goodbye to Mrs. Shi and Jingyi, and followed in.

Jingyi accompanied Mrs. Shi to order the leather goods to be bought, and came out of the store together, and the shopkeeper personally sent them to the door of the shoe store next door before leaving, and she was very attentive. Before the two of them could do anything, the shopkeeper of the shoe store had already greeted them - Jingyi asked Mrs. Shi to walk forward. She rarely goes out to hang out. When Er Yi was not married, most of them were pulled by Er Yi. I had already asked people to come to the appointment in advance, and the shopkeeper invited them upstairs. What kind of shoes do you want, a guy went to get them and tried them on. Mrs. Shi usually wears the same brand of shoes in the store, and she likes the other brand that Jingyi recommended to her. Just to try them one by one. The man was docile and thoughtful, and patiently took a pair of shoes to Mrs. Shi to try on. Jing Yi sat next to Madame Shi and helped her with her shoes. Mrs. Shi is wearing a pair of likes again, and the guy is very happy to meet such a guest, and he is more and more dedicated to serving. Jingyi also tried a new pair, the water-red shoes lined her feet with white and tender feet, delicate and cute...... She never wears shoes of this color, and she is a little tempted to see it. Mrs. Shi pouted her to wear it, and said that she would pay for it for her. Jingyi excused himself, and the man said that there was only one pair of shoes for each number, and Mrs. Tao's yardage was the original one in the store, but it had just been picked up by a customer.

Jingyi said that forget it. Mrs. Shi felt disappointed, and while the two were talking, someone knocked on the door and came in, saying that a guest outside had heard that Mrs. Tao was here and wanted to come and say hello.

"Who's that?" Jingyi asked.

"Miss Fei." The guy replied.

At this time, there is only one Miss Fei Faxian here.

Jingyi looked at Madame Shi. Madame Shi smiled slightly and nodded.

"Come in, please." Jingyi said, and the person also stood up. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shi whispered, "You are too polite," and continued to try on shoes. Jingyi saw that as soon as the door opened, Fei Faxian came in from outside, and before anyone arrived, the jewelry on her body rang all the way, and said to her with a smile: "Missistao, Mrs. Shi, I heard that you are coming, come over quickly." ”
