Cheng Jiabai rushed home non-stop after the party, and took the train for a few hours to Xunyang, he only carried a suitcase when he came, but when he came back, there was one more person around him, a Japanese woman in a kimono.

Cheng Jiabai led her home, and the old mother and servants who passed by stared at these two people with different eyes, and made way for them quietly.

They went all the way to the main hall, Luo Xiaoqi was accustomed to sitting in the direction of the upper seat and drinking tea, he walked over and called softly: "Sister", and then turned his head to introduce Luo Xiaoqi to the girl in Japanese kimono next to him.

"This is my classmate Kobayashi Shunya when I studied abroad, Kobayashi classmate is my sister", Cheng Jiabai did not treat each other badly.

Xiao Lin stepped forward with small steps in his clogs, made a salute, and greeted Luo Xiaoqi in awkward Chinese, and Luo Xiaoqi also nodded in obedience.

Looking at her elegant kimono, wearing it like Peng Shirong, who had taken the certificate of good citizenship of the French Concession, couldn't offend, she still wanted to spend a few days with a peaceful birthday.

Xiaolin is a good girl who won't cause trouble, and she has been keeping her head down after the face-to-face shooting, so that Luo Xiaoqi is not in a hurry to see her appearance. In the end, she still asked Xiao Lin to sit down first, and ordered the servant to bring her a cup of tea and talk a few words in a friendly manner, but relying on Xiao Lin's awkward Chinese, Luo Xiaoqi still felt that they needed a translator between them.

According to the sitting method of the position, Cheng Jiabai just sat between the two of them, which had the effect of assisting them in talking, and introduced to Luo Xiaoqi: "Sister, the puppet I brought to you last time when I first stayed abroad was also made by Xiaolin."

Before Cheng Jiabai could say more, Xiaolin himself had already introduced: "My father taught me, my father likes Chinese culture very much and deliberately went to learn this marionette, and I also learned it from him."

Although Xiao Lin was shy and afraid of life when he first came, he would become familiar after a while, talk to the marionettes, and specially perform a puppet show for Luo Xiaoqi and them.

I saw that she took out a puppet wearing a black suit, a red tie, and a top hat, with a smiling face engraved on her face, but she was still a full gentleman. The puppet's limbs and head are connected to these very thin threads, and even the other joints are tied with a few thin threads.

Xiao Lin tied a few threads to his hands, one in each place, the thin thread was already transparent and not easy to notice, but the sunlight outside the window sprinkled all over the ground, and the thin thread shone brightly under the golden light.

She took the hand of the thread and lifted it up, and the puppet immediately stood up, and then a few finger joints moved, and the puppet reacted according to the guidance of the silk thread, and then he leaned down one step at a time, took off the top hat on his head and bowed to Luo Xiaoqi.

If you don't look carefully at the silk thread on it, you really think that this villain is alive, and then the villain turned around and bowed to Cheng Jiabai. However, Cheng Jiabai didn't react, he was watching Luo Xiaoqi become interested in the puppet she brought back.

Xiao Lin's two fingers moved slightly, causing the puppet that was walking normally to fall unconsciously, lying on the ground, and the sense of comical came up. made Luo Xiaoqi, who was in front of the audience, purse his lips and smile. She still remembered that she was the head of the family and had to do everything, so she couldn't help but dare to laugh.

Luo Xiaoqi looked at the puppet from top to bottom and noticed Xiaolin again. Xiao Lin's fingers moved one after another, and the puppets on the ground also sat in corresponding movements, if you didn't look closely at the silk thread, she really felt like a wizard who manipulated people's hearts, making people smaller, and using spells to make him move.

She put aside the puppet and paid attention to Xiao Lin's appearance, but it was really a body shape, Xiao Lin was always weird when he manipulated the puppet, her appearance was even more weird, her skin was so white that she didn't look like a living person, her black eyes were like a painter's point, her nose was small and upturned, and her lips were very thin.

When she spoke, she was a quiet and polite little girl, and when she sat quietly on the side, she didn't move or speak, but she was a strange person who couldn't detect it.

Luo Xiaoqi felt this weirdness, but she could taste herself from her, and when she smiled at people with the corners of her mouth curled up in the dark night, she didn't feel that Xiaolin's weirdness was bad.

Xiaolin was a visitor invited by Cheng Jiabai, and Luo Xiaoqi thought that she had won Cheng Jiabai's favor, so she would be invited on the train by Cheng Jiabai and then taken home by the way. But listening to Cheng Jiabai say this after performing in Xiaolin, the result was different.

Cheng Jiabai applauded Xiao Lin, turned his face to her and said, "Sister, Xiao Lin's puppet show is a novelty, so I brought Xiao Lin back." At first, Kobayashi wanted to come with me, and she wanted to come to China this time to experience the culture here."

Luo Xiaoqi smiled quietly when he heard this: "They have all occupied the land by their country, and what they have experienced is also their country's culture, what is there to come."

Cheng Jiabai frowned slightly, his face was embarrassed when he couldn't speak, he didn't open his mouth to speak very much, leaned over to Luo Xiaoqi's side, and said in a low voice: "Sister", his call was obviously implying that Luo Xiaoqi was embarrassing him.

Luo Xiaoqi shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Xiao Lin, who was sitting with a smile on his face the whole time, Luo Xiaoqi didn't know that she spoke Mandarin awkwardly, but she also understood it very smoothly when she heard people's words, but she always felt that Xiao Lin's reaction was like she didn't understand her words.

Luo Xiaoqi said to Xiao Lin in a loud voice: "Xiao Lin, you are also welcome to come to Xunyang, so let's do it, I will let Jia Bai take you to the play when the garden opens in a few days."

said to Cheng Jiabai again: "Remember to take her to see Mr. Shen's play."

Xiao Lin could understand these words, so he nodded at Luo Xiaoqi and thanked him, Luo Xiaoqi didn't want to pay attention to her, and called the servant to push the wheelchair and take him out.

Cheng Jiabai knew that Luo Xiaoqi didn't have the enthusiasm to entertain guests, and he didn't want him to leave a bad impression in Xiaolin's heart, so he turned around and bowed his head to Xiaolin, and said that he learned fluent Japanese from a foreign school, and told this Xiaolin that Luo Xiaoqi was definitely not what he said outside, and he was not friendly with what he was doing now.

Xiao Lin also got up, nodded at Cheng Jiabai's words, and fully accepted: "The sister that Jiabaijun likes has a lot of personality and is a very attractive character."

After her simple evaluation, Cheng Jiabai said that she was sent to a hotel in Xunyang, and she stayed in the hotel.

In the past few days, I have been visiting the streets and alleys alone, and after a few days, Cheng Jiabai really went to her guest room to pick her up and go to the theater to watch the play.

Xiao Lin and Cheng Jiabai went out of the room and went downstairs, and they saw a private car of the Luo family parked at the door, the car blocked the way to and from the guests like a behemoth, and there was a domestic servant waiting at the door to do the work of opening the door for them.

This time to pick up people at the door, it was so magnificent that the shopkeeper who was settling accounts on the side also squinted and looked Xiao Lin up and down, not knowing what the identity of this girl was. can still be invited by the Luo family like this, he thought so.

Xiao Lin got into the car and sat in the back seat with Cheng Jiabai, both of them only gave way to each other by a foot of distance, and the car passed through the streets and alleys smoothly and steadily, heading towards Chunheyuan.

Xiao Lin, who was two feet apart, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Cheng Jiabai: "Jiabaijun, whose play are we going to see?"

Cheng Jiabai responded to her question and replied without thinking: "Shen Yeling's play "Peony Pavilion" in the evergreen class".

Cheng Jiabai didn't know that she looked like a good young man who loved research and academics, and she would actually peel off the skin of the role with him and understand the performer: "Jia Baijun, I have been in Xunyang for a few days, and I have heard some rumors about Shen Yeling, I heard that he is from Beiping, and he sings well and looks good, but the most famous is his wife, who is a famous geisha but wants to pretend to be the eldest lady, and is exposed and found to be a joke, and some people say that she married Shen Yeling after she was pregnant with someone else's child."

Cheng Jiabai was so shocked that he turned around and looked at Xiao Lin's big eyes like paint, and then felt that his reaction was a little extreme, and slowly turned his head to regain his composure just now, before saying, "Who are you listening to?"

Xiao Lin's eyes bent into a crescent moon, grinned, and pointed out the window: "Everyone outside is talking, I said that Xunyang can't live in Jia Baijun's house, because Jia Baijun is a stuffy gourd, don't say anything, don't listen to anything." I wonder if it's more fun to be bored or to go outside and listen to other people."

Cheng Jiabai didn't care that Xiao Lin secretly said that he was boring, but he was just curious about Xu Man's affairs that Luo Xiaoqi had taken her own affairs against others' eyes, but why did there still be people talking about Xu Man's affairs with relish. But after a long time, Cheng Jiabai knew that Luo Xiaoqi's matter had been talked about by outsiders for a few years, and it had been hotly discussed for a few years, and he was tired of talking about it, and he was tired of talking about it, and her deeds were far less important than the fleeting of a woman's name.

No, Cheng Jiabai didn't think about it so much now, Xu Man was Shen Yeling's woman, and he was 108,000 miles apart, and he couldn't get along with him, so he didn't take this matter to heart, but he was worried that Luo Xiaoqi was coming, and he was afraid that Xiaolin would also hear people outside mention Luo Xiaoqi.

Outsiders' impression of Luo Xiaoqi was not very good, he was afraid and hateful, and he said all dirty words, he was worried that after someone said this, Luo Xiaoqi's image in Xiaolin's heart would become worse. Usually, it doesn't matter if outsiders don't understand Luo Xiaoqi, at most, they will take revenge on that person for Luo Xiaoqi behind their backs. But he would never allow his classmates to have any objections to Luo Xiaoqi in their hearts.

His classmates already had a cleanliness that was not stained by dust, and their status was like that of a monk in a church. And Luo Xiaoqi is a god in his eyes, and he doesn't allow any monk to speak a little foul word about his god.
