For several days in a row, when Xiaoxiao pushed the door open in the morning, Wei Du was already waiting. Accompany her to various stores to deal with affairs, rarely speak, but always by her side.

Xiaoxiao inspects the goods inside the store, and Shi Wei waits for her outside the store. The sky was gray and about to rain. Shi Wei sat on the crooked tree outside the store, carving wood, and glanced at the door of the store from time to time. Her moon-white mask is hidden among the leaves.

A drop of water fell on the wood in his hand, and Shi Wei looked up, ah, it's raining. The wind began to blow, and Shi Wei's black hair and the corners of his clothes fluttered slightly.

"Ah Shi." Xiaoxiao went out and saw Shi Wei sitting on the tree, and called out happily.

"Let's go, let's go home." Shi Wei heard the call, put away the things in his hand, and immediately jumped off the tree and stood under the tree to say to Xiaoxiao.

"It's raining." Shi Weidao.

"It's out of the way, it's just a light rain." Xiao Xiao said, "Isn't it too boring to be alone when you come to Ah these days?" ”

"It's okay, isn't there always you by your side?" Shi Wei said lightly. But I didn't notice Xiaoxiao's surprised and joyful expression just because he heard this.

"What's wrong?" After walking some distance, Wei realized that Xiaoxiao had fallen behind him.

Xiaoxiao stopped behind Shi Wei and smiled, "Ah Shi, I'm so tired from walking." ”

A violent gust of wind blew, ruffling the hair of both of them. In less than a moment, it rained the size of beans.

Shi Wei opened the umbrella that was always in his hand, slowly walked to Xiaoxiao's side, and asked, "Are you tired today?" ”

"Hmm." Shi Wei's face was in front of him, and the close range made Xiaoxiao a little embarrassed.

Shi Wei stretched out one arm, wrapped it around Xiaoxiao's back, hugged Xiaoxiao's shoulder with his palm, and supported the umbrella with one hand, "Hold on." ”

In an instant, the two of them moved quickly, and then Shi Wei jumped from a house to the roof, and their clothes rubbed against each other with a slight rustle.

"Ahh Xiaoxiao Road.

"What's wrong?"

"That's amazing!" Xiao Xiao said happily, "I still remember the first time I was pulled on the roof like this by you, I almost cried at that time." ”

"Don't look at your feet if you're afraid." Shi Wei hugged Xiaoxiao and quickly shuttled on the roof, the raindrops were connected into lines, and the hazy Los Angeles.

"Ah Shi."

"Hmm."

"Let me walk on the rooftop."

Shi Wei slowly stopped his speed, and the umbrella in his hand was firmly propped above his head. But the rain was too heavy, and the clothes on the lower half of my body were still wet.

Slowly leaning out a foot, staggering, and after falling steadily, Xiaoxiao leaned out a few more steps. Feeling that he had mastered his balance, Xiaoxiao dared to try to walk naturally. It's a great feeling!

"Ahh Xiaoxiao said happily again, "Look! ”

Xiaoxiao began to run on the roof. Rejoice like a child.

"Look at me." Xiaoxiao ran along, but he didn't dare to look back at Shi Wei, he was still a little afraid that he would step on the air.

Xiaoxiao called out several times in succession, "Ah Shi, look at me", but did not hear Shi Wei's answer. Regardless of the fact that he would step on the air, he turned his head to look. The familiar moon-white mask is actually behind him.

"Ahh Xiaoxiao really stepped on the air. Just when Xiaoxiao felt his heart fall, a pair of slender but powerful arms grabbed his shoulders.

Shi Wei straightened Xiaoxiao and said, "I've been behind you all the time to turn around and do something." Even Shi Wei said one word, "Stupid." And when Shi Wei said that word, he obviously had a tone that was different from his usual coldness.

Holding Xiaoxiao again, Shi Wei took her to the wind on the roof. And Xiaoxiao leaned in Shi Wei's arms, with the sound of wind and rain in his ears, a stupid smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When I arrived at Ding's Mansion, I saw a few maids who were usually waiting for Xiaoxiao waiting at the gate.

"Miss, you're back." The maids said anxiously.

"What's wrong? You're all here to watch. Xiao Xiao asked.

"Sister Ah Lu said that Miss didn't take anyone with her when she went out today, and if it rained so hard, it would definitely rain on the way home, and I won't see Miss come back after a while, so I will drive the carriage to pick you up in person."

"I'm fine, but the corners of my skirt are a little wet. See. Xiao Xiao said. While watching Shi Wei put away the umbrella, the water on the umbrella fell one by one, forming several streams on the ground.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Shi Wei whispered to Xiao Xiao. It wasn't until Shi Wei walked in front of Xiao Xiao that Xiao Xiao found that the side and back of Shi Wei's clothes were completely soaked. It turned out that when Shi Wei carried himself and walked on the roof by himself, the umbrella was always on his head.

"I'll accompany the young lady to change her clothes, I'll get sick if I'm so wet."

"I'll go make some hot soup for Miss." Another girl said.

Not long after the dry clothes were changed, Ah Lu returned. Those who hadn't seen her before they heard Green's voice.

"Miss, you're famous now." Lu smiled ill-willedly.

"What's going on?" Xiao Xiao said with a puzzled expression.

"You're with Shi Wei Gongzi." Alu paused and said, "The intimacy of being together in the rain has all been seen. At this time, I guess L.A. will know. ”

"What? Me and Ah Shi in the rain? ”

"The two of you always show up at the same time, which is already a discussion in everyone's eyes. Well, I couldn't find you in the heavy rain, but I was told by others how the two of you were in the rain. ”

Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed a little, "They said, what's wrong with us?" ”

"What else, Miss's face is red, that's it." Ah Lu approached Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, "I only want to ask Miss one thing, now Shi Wei Gongzi and Miss are in love." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Xiao said, "Ah Shi is not what you think. ”

"You were playing on the roof, and Shi Wei Gongzi had an umbrella on your head, and his whole body was drenched in the heavy rain. Could it be that he? ”

"Ah Lu, don't say this kind of thing again in the future! Ah Shi and I are not what you think. ”

"But these days, everyone who you can't leave is in your eyes."

Xiao Xiao was a little angry, and said to Ah Lu: "I know why Ah Shi came here. You know that too, right? If she hadn't had to do this, I wouldn't have been so close to her. I do like Ah Shi, but not between men and women. I don't want to hear that again. Go out and let me be quiet. ”

Ah Lu wanted to say something, but Xiaoxiao stopped looking at her and shouted, "Get out!" Ah Lu pouted and stomped the door to the side.

"Ah Shi."

Someone in the vague mind was calling for himself. Shi Wei, who was lying on the bed, clenched his hands, and the skin at the joints was pale.

"Ah Shi."

His forehead was covered with dense fine sweat, and Shi Wei tried to keep his breathing as even as possible.

"Isn't Shi Wei Gongzi really sick?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at the girl who spoke, frowned, and said, "Go and bring breakfast."

"Ahh Xiaoxiao tried to push the door open with her hand, but to no avail. I simply sat down the steps and waited.

"Does it hurt?" Someone was asking Shi Wei.

Hurt. Shi Wei paused and said, "It hurts." ”

"Then why aren't you crying?"

"Why do you cry when it hurts?" Shi Wei asked rhetorically.

Fine sweat was cold, Shi Wei opened his cold eyes. It was in the Ding Mansion that she quickly determined where she was.

It's raining. Shi Wei listened to the sound of the rain and said in his heart. Endured the pain, changed into a set of clean clothes, took an umbrella and opened the door, the wind blowing in his face made Shi Wei feel much better.

"Why are you sitting here?" He stopped in Xiaoxiao's body and asked.

"Ah, you're finally out. Today's hour is a long time away from the time you used to get up, and they told me that you must have been sick yesterday because you were drenched in a lot of rain. As soon as Xiao Xiao heard Shi Wei's voice, he got up and looked Shi Wei's body up and down for anything unusual.

"It's fine, I'm a little cold, my mind is a little drowsy, and I slept for an hour." Shi Weidao.

"Let's go." Shi Wei opened the umbrella, and the rain fell on the umbrella surface and hit the ground again. Dressed in black, she stood in the rain, freeing up half of the space under the umbrella to say to Xiaoxiao.

"Huh? Where to go? Xiao Xiao wondered.

"Shop."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's raining so hard today, so I won't go." ”

"Just staying here?" Shi Wei asked.

"Ah Shi, have you heard of Shui Xuanfang?"

Of course, I've heard that it's still a place that Shi Wei has been wanting to go to for the past few days.

"How about I take you to have a good time in Shuixuan Boat today?" Xiaoxiao raised his face, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Hmm."

"By the way, I've already asked someone to bring you breakfast, so come at the door when you're done. I went to prepare the carriage. ”

"Hmm."

Xiaoxiao opened his umbrella and plunged into the rain, the water on the ground splashed on the corner of his skirt, and the light green color was a little darker.

The sound of the wheels running over the wet road, and the mud and water being dragged is not unpleasant. Shi Wei and Xiao Xiao sat in the carriage together, Xiao Xiao opened the curtain from time to time to look outside, and talked about Shui Xuan Fang to Shi Wei.

"Shui Xuanfang was opened by a foreigner, and people call her the boss. I often go to the water house to play, of course, I go behind my father's back, they don't like me to go to such a place, but in fact, every time I go they know it. Shui Xuanfang wants to say that it is no different from the ordinary Qinglou, except for one point. Do you know? Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes." Shi Wei replied.

Half of the month, a different newcomer performs each day, and at the end of the day, the next day's favorite performer is announced, and after half a month, the most popular newcomer is selected from among these people. Newcomers who can get three and a half months of the most loved can participate in another month and a half of performances. This half-moon is called the Great Half Moon. For most of the month, there is only one performance per day, and those who can perform on stage have both skill and beauty. These people can have a dedicated attendant, they can make their own clothes, they can decide many things. In addition, those who can win the first place for most of the month have considerable freedom, and they can even decide which customers to meet on their own, and the income is also very high.

"Miss, Shui Xuanfang has arrived." The small road outside the carriage.

When the curtain is opened, what stands out is a wooden plaque standing next to the gate, with a vermilion bottom engraved with the words "Shui Xuan Fang". The signboard is not hung on a high-rise building, but is eye-catching, but placed on the ground, which is also a bit interesting.

"Let's go inside." Shi Wei was pulled by Xiaoxiao's wrist and entered the Shui Xuan Fang.

"Guest officer, please." The little guys standing on both sides of the gate said respectfully with smiles on their faces.

Just a few steps after entering the door, several playful girls walked towards Shi Wei with a playful smile, smiling like a flower, a handkerchief came in the direction of Shi Wei, and the air hit Shi Wei's face slightly. The usual means of sultry women in Qinglou.

Xiao Xiao looked at the women, and then at Shi Wei, and somehow laughed out loud.

"Xiaoxiao!" Someone shouted. It was a girl dressed in lilac with a lute in her arms.

"Ziyun!" Xiao Xiao opened his hand and wanted to hug Ziyun, but when he saw the pipa that was in the way, he withdrew his hand and only touched Ziyun's hand.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you." Ziyun said.

"Me too." Xiao Xiao pointed to the pipa in Ziyun's hand and asked, "How is this practice?" ”

"I'm going to perform on stage today."

"Look at your joy. Then I'll have to take a good look at how far you've gotten today. ”

"I've been looking forward to you coming, I didn't come for so long, I thought you would never come again when you got married." Ziyun said, while looking at Shi Wei, who was dressed in black and half a mask next to Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, who is this?" Ziyun asked by squeezing her eyebrows at Xiaoxiao.

"Shi Wei, a friend of mine."

"Friends? I've known you for so long, but I never knew you had this friend. Ziyun bent the corners of her eyes, staring at Xiao Xiaodao with a wicked smile.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go." Shi Wei said, and nodded to Ziyun.

"Shi Wei and I have known each other after you, of course you don't know. I'll go first, I'm waiting to see you perform. Xiao Xiao said as he followed Shi Wei away.

"Oh! By the way, Xiaoxiao, I haven't had time to see Aunt Cheng for so long, she is strange about you. ”

"Good! I'll go! Xiaoxiao said.

Xiao Xiao took Shi Wei to talk while walking, introducing Shui Xuanfang. On the way, I met a lot of people who greeted Xiaoxiao, and they were all very curious about Shi Wei next to Xiaoxiao, looked at Shi Wei and looked at Xiaoxiao, and then covered their mouths and hooked the corners of their eyes to ask Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiao poured a cup of tea for Shi Wei, and the two sat upstairs, which was a good place to watch the performance in the middle of the building.

"What does Ah Shi think of Shui Xuanfang?" Xiaoxiao's eyebrows and eyes are crooked.

"Well, that's good." Shi Wei couldn't find the words to answer for a while.

It would take an hour for the official performance to start, and then another woman came over to greet Xiaoxiao, saying by the way that she was going to Aunt Cheng, and asked Xiaoxiao if she wanted to go with her all the way. Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Wei, Shi Wei nodded at Xiaoxiao and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you here." ”

The water boat is mainly in the shape of a large cylinder, the middle is for performances, and the main performance stage in the center is also circular, surrounded by a pool, touching the mechanism, and there will be a wooden board on the top of the pool.

It doesn't look like there's anything special here. Although the strange places that Shi Wei has seen are not many, they are not few. It's all made for people to see, and who knows what it will look like behind it.

The pleasant singing voice comes from the vibration of the throat, and in order to sink the person deeper into this gentle country, the various musical instruments are manipulated by different people to produce different but identical sounds.

Shi Wei put down the teacup in his hand, looked around and got up to leave. Now that you're here, you can't afford to waste an opportunity. This time, I will know something.

"Childe stays."

Not the voice of a familiar person. Shi Wei turned around, and a man in a wheelchair was looking at her with a light smile. For a moment, Shi Wei felt that this smile was extremely familiar, but Shi Wei had seen a lot of people, and although he couldn't remember them, Shi Wei knew that there would be some dispensable memories left in his consciousness, so he didn't delve into them.

"I wonder if your advice you have?" Shi Wei asked.

The man always smiled gently, and took an umbrella from the hand of the attendant next to him, "This is Childe's umbrella." ”

The umbrella was deliberately left there by Shi Wei, so that Xiaoxiao couldn't find her when she came back, and when he saw the umbrella, he would wait for her in the same place.

"Thank you." Shi Weidao.

But when Shi Wei took the umbrella, the hand holding the umbrella over there did not let go, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Shi Wei looked up at the man, and the man still smiled gently. The flow of people around them changed sparsely, and the two looked at each other like this. The lonely eyes were still unfazed, and there was no difference in their expression.

"Do you have any advice?" Shi Weidao. Although the cold voice was appropriately spoken, it also showed a dangerous aura.

"Childe will be more careful in the future." The man let go of his hand and said, "Not all people in the world are good people. ”

"Thank you." Shi Wei took the umbrella and thanked him.

Walking straight through the bend in the passage, Wei turned his head sideways and looked back a little, and the man was no more. It should be suspicious, Shi Wei always felt that Fang Cai had always had eyes behind him. Something intensely emotional, so determined, as if it could penetrate everything.

Yue Li raised his hand and put it on Rong Heng's shoulder, and Rong Heng was silent for a long time. Quietly pulling the corners of his mouth, he said to Yue Lidao, "Yes." ”

"Yue Gongzi, Heng, you are here." The vermilion earrings swayed and swayed, forming a beautiful picture with the white and delicate skin.

"Heng, what's wrong, your face is not very good." Yu Sang walked over and shook Rong Heng's hand.

"A drunken man suddenly appeared and did something dangerous, and my brother was a little frightened." The more deviant.

"Yu Sang, you send your brother over to rest for a while. I'll walk around again. "The more you deviate.

Yu Sang nodded at Yue Li and slowly pushed Rong Heng away.

Tap your toes to quickly weave your way from house to house. The night rendered by the lights is no longer dark, and the black shadows are like ghosts.

There is nothing out of the ordinary. Cheng Yi didn't find anything useful in his room. There are only two possibilities, one is that there is nothing useful here at all, and the other is that the city of Cheng Yi is really deep and cannot be underestimated.

Shi Wei stood on the roof, occasionally blowing a gust of wind. Shi Wei likes this kind of wind, it makes people feel comfortable and peaceful. Jumping off the roof, back to the place where Xiao Xiao was present. The show is about to begin.

"Ah Shi, where did you run, it's about to start." Xiaoxiao asked as he greeted some of the women downstairs.

"Everywhere you go." Shi Wei replied. As he raised his eyes to look at the stage, he saw a familiar and unfamiliar person. I haven't seen her since Sijiang Tower, but I don't expect to see her here again today.

She sat on the side of Shi Wei, making tea. A hand touched her ear, and she glanced at the man, lowered her head and smiled shyly. The owner of the hand was the one who had just stopped him. Shi Wei said in his heart, is it a coincidence or something else.

"Ah, what do you see? The performances are all on. ”

Cheng Yi said the opening words below, and there was a round of applause and shouting. Xiaoxiao also clapped his hands vigorously.

"Cheng Yi looks young." Shi Weidao.

"It's like getting older and getting older, as if it's an exception from Aunt Cheng, and it's not obvious at all." Xiao Xiao answered.

"She's old?"

"No one knows about this, but there was once an old madman of seventy or eighty years old who said that Aunt Cheng was older than him."

"How many years has Shui Xuan Fang been in business?"

"I guess it's been seven or eight years. But Aunt Cheng is real, and she hasn't changed at all since I first met her. Xiao Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Shhh, it's begun." ”

Some things are not in a hurry to occupy the time to enjoy now, Shi Wei looked at the joyful Xiaoxiao, she really showed her happiness to the extreme. Maybe Shi Wei didn't know it himself, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled.

"Is there anything on Yu Sang's ears?" Yu Sang's face heated slightly.

"No, it's just that your hair is hiding the earrings." Rong Heng smiled lightly.

"Heng likes these earrings so much, he should go and get them pierced and hang a pair of them himself." Yu Sang said with a smile.

"It's a joke. Let's watch the show. Rong Heng said as he looked at the other side, the person was sitting quietly, different from the passionate people next to him, and he couldn't even see that she had any expression. The gaze was fixed on her ears, though they couldn't see clearly.
