281 Masquerade

In the afternoon, sunshine, milk tea, hair salon, otaku, a new day starts from the beginning.

"Xiaodong, if you don't like the color that comes out after a while, you have to say it directly, the boss is very talkative, and he is also from Shanghai."

"Well, I'm not worried about my color, I'm more worried about your big waves."

Lan Xi looked at the reflection on the glass window, looking nervous, "I'm also worried, what if it burns." ”

Xiao Dong smiled and pointed to a black woman outside the window and said, "If you burn it, you will change it to a curly mushroom head like that, it must be very stylish." ”

"Ah, I don't want to, I'm going to be a European and American supermodel...... Hey, it's hot, boss, it's hot, don't burn my hair. ”

Two hours later, the new look was released, and Xiao Dong dyed her hair chestnut yellow, lining her small and fair face, which made her even more well-behaved and cute. Lan Xi's long hair is flowing, romantic and slightly curly, and she has successfully transformed into a royal sister full of European and American style.

Ye Ke looked at them from a distance, "Tsk, little girl, isn't it good to have good black hair." ”

"I think it's so good-looking, Xiaodong is getting more and more feminine."

Ye Ke squinted at him, "Zhou Yue, it's time for you to strengthen your body, can you cure Lanxi?" ”

Zhou Yue wiped a handful of sweat and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, it can be cured, it can be cured." ”

"Keep up, they're gone."

"Huh? Oh...... "I said, President, are you afraid that Xiaodong will be chased away by others."

Sydney's New Year also has a strong New Year's flavor, especially in places like Chinatown, where dragon and lion dances can be seen everywhere, and uncles and aunts are wearing Tang costumes with Chinese characteristics.

The smell of glutinous rice wafts through the streets, and the sound of firecrackers fills the eyes with festive colors.

Lan Xi took Xiao Dong from the street to the end of the street and ate all kinds of snacks.

After arriving here, Xiaodong found that the old people here attach great importance to the quality of life, especially personal grooming. For example, the landlady Alice, she is not sloppy at all than young people, the color of her clothes is reasonable, and she also pays attention to the use of necklaces, earrings and other accessories. Once, she saw Alice sitting in a chair applying nail polish, more attentive than a young girl.

As she walked, she looked around, and saw a well-groomed old couple in a nearby restaurant, they were slowly riding knives and forks and feasting, she couldn't help but smile, this is more enviable life atmosphere.

Eating in a music restaurant, the bar is playing old songs from the seventies and eighties, and the proprietress of the restaurant says with a little joy, "Oh, this is my favourite song." Then, she would continue to work on her hand while humming softly along the radio, and the customers in the restaurant would beat her to the beat.

Lancey said that the people here are not very rich, but they are very rich.

Xiao Dong secretly thought, I also want to be a rich person.

There are small stalls on the side of the street selling everything from ornaments, handicrafts, pottery, books, and more.

Lan Xi looked at a small rattan doll and felt very novel, so he asked, "Boss, how much is this?" ”

"Two hundred."

"What, two hundred? It's too expensive, if you don't understand it, this thing will die in a hundred. ”

Ye Ke in the back shook his head and said: "People are also handmade products, and the hard work will make them make some money. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Dong's voice came, "Sister Lan Xi, this thing is everywhere on Nanjing Road, I don't want to stick it upside down, let's go, go over there and have a look." ”

Zhou Yue held back his laughter when he heard this, Ye Ke looked very distressed according to his temples, and wanted to retract what he said just now, Xiao Dong is the most picky.

When the roofs are painted in the color of the sunset, the New Year's lights are spread out along the street, and the warm light invites them to stop and watch like a searching hand. The sparse shadows of the trees, covering a quiet, sunny night, is a good time for a walk, Xiaodong took Lan Xi's arm and walked down the street together, Lan Xi is very familiar with this place, and from time to time to say hello to people passing by.

Xiao Dong stared at the New Year's lights in front of him with wide eyes, and listened to the song of mosquitoes in his ears, hehe, for the first time, he realized that he would be harassed by mosquitoes during the New Year.

"There's still a big drama in front of you, Sister Lan Xi, let's go over and take a look."

Lan Xi grabbed her, "What's so good about singing big operas, it's all watched by older people, and the place we're going to have arrived has arrived, you see." ”

Xiao Dong looked up and saw a super large and super flashing neon sign flickering to greet them, "Hurricane bar?" What bar? Did I mispronounce it? Didn't recognize the word. ”

"Stupid, Storm Bar."

"Storm Bar? All I know is that there's a Storm video. ”

“…… Let's go, I'll open your eyes. Lancey pulled her inside.

No matter where the bar was, the light was dim, and she couldn't see anything clearly when she first entered, but she could see more clearly after getting used to the darkness a little. For places like nightclubs and bars, Xiao Dong was apprehensive, and she held Lan Xi's hand tightly, for fear of getting lost.

"Sister Lan Xi, it's so noisy here."

Lancey could see her fear and nervousness, and patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, the bar here is safe, don't be afraid, the masquerade will start soon," she said, and she shoved a mask into Xiao Dong's hand, "Put it on." ”

"Kamen ball?"

"yes, every year, last year I was the super prom queen here."

"But I can't dance."

"It's okay, just move and learn."

Lan Xi put on the mask, the golden fluorescent powder on the mask shone brightly, a few pinches of pale golden feathers swayed flutteringly with every turn of her head, she was confident, independent, mature, exuding intellectual beauty, after putting on the mask, it was full of mystery.

Xiao Dong looked at her, she also hoped that one day she could become a person who could be in charge like Lan Xi, looked down at the mask in her hand, it was silver, and the white feathers fluttered in the wind, she put it on without saying a word.

The juice is freshly squeezed pure juice, there is no mixed alcohol, Xiao Dong doesn't dare to walk around, his eyes keep staring at Lan Xi in the center of the dance floor, wow, Sister Lan Xi is so beautiful, she is a veritable super prom queen.

"Hey, beauty, can I sit down?"

Xiao Dong turned his head and saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes coming over, he was also wearing a mask, but those deep eyes were really charming, and they were really blue. Nani, is this the legendary affair?

"Hey, hehe, there's someone sitting here, she's just walking away for a while."

The handsome guy pointed to the dance floor, "I'll get out of the way when she comes back." With that, he sat down, "Drinking?" ”

Xiao Dong shook his head, "I don't drink, thank you." ”

"There's a kind of fruit wine here, which is very suitable for girls to drink, fruit flavor, do you want to try it?" Boss, here. Without waiting for Xiaodong to refuse, he snapped his fingers at the bartender very gentlemanly.

Xiao Dong looked at him in surprise, whether he was accosting him or was he accosting him.

Ye Ke, who was not far away, was so angry that he stomped his feet, didn't he hesitate for fear of being recognized by Xiao Dong, and others took the lead. He aimed a dart at the foreigner, and he really wanted to fly over. Look at Zhou Yue's kid, holding Lan Xi's hand and dancing happily, he can only hide in the corner and secretly watch the beauty, and watch the beauty being accosted, it's really annoying.

No matter what, Ye Ke straightened his suit and stepped forward, he could lower his voice and say, "Miss, can I ask you to dance?" ”

Xiao Dong's heart trembled, and the appearance of an old man suddenly burst out in her mind, although through the mask, she still felt that the black-haired Asian man in front of her was not ordinary, he spoke standard Mandarin, which was much more pleasant to the ear than listening to foreigners, and his words were very similar to Ye Ke.

The foreigner said unhappily: "Hey, I'm inviting this young lady to drink, you go away." ”

"My Fair Lady, a gentleman, she may not drink the wine you invited."

The foreigner didn't understand the first sentence, but he understood the back, "How do you know she doesn't agree?" ”

Xiao Dong was embarrassed, seeing that the two of them were about to argue, he hurriedly pushed and said, "I'm sorry two of you, I don't drink, I don't dance, I'm sorry, I still have friends." ”

The foreigner is still very qualified, and when he saw Xiaodong's refusal, he walked away generously, but Ye Ke didn't leave.

Xiao Dong gave him a direct look, "This gentleman, my friend will be back soon." ”

"Really? Male or female? ”

Neuropathy! Xiao Dong didn't want to pay attention to it, and turned his head to drink the juice.

Ye Ke had a thankless feeling, but he was still very happy in his heart, at least Xiaodong would not accept other people's invitations casually. He turned his head to look at the dance floor, Zhou Yue and Lan Xi were raising their fists to cheer him up, and he tried to say again: "It's just the two of us, why don't you go and dance, and move your muscles and bones." ”

"Sir, my friend will be back soon." If you don't want to be unhappy during the New Year, politely refusing is the best way.

Ye Ke had the urge to take off the mask, but he still resisted it, he had an idea, and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, are you a friend of Lan Xi?" ”

Xiao Dong glanced at him, and immediately heard the flaw, "Do you know who I am?" Who are you? ”

"Hehe, I don't know who you are, I saw you come in with Lancey." The girl is very vigilant, and she is not stupid. He justified himself and said, "I am your neighbor, and I have met Lancey a few times on the road. ”

"Oh, then you know who I am, and I want to know who you are." As she spoke, she reached out to remove his mask, this man was too similar to Ye Ke in terms of height and body shape, but Ye Ke couldn't be here.

Ye Ke flashed back, "Eh, it's not fun for you to see your true face." ”

"If it's not fun, don't play it." Xiao Dong decisively refused, secretly thinking, this person could not be Ye Ke's, Ye Ke must have a reunion dinner at home now.

If it's not fun, don't play, under the mask, Ye Ke smiled lightly, this is the wise saying of the little girl, she often says that she won't play, and finally she really won't play.

However, he never played with her, and the relationship between them was never a game.
