Xia Chujian was very interested at first, but later she lost interest and would rather concentrate on eating the fragrant fruit chestnut cake.
To be honest, it’s really delicious!
As a child who grew up eating her aunt's cooking, she has to say that the ingredients are top-notch!
I guess if you just wrap a layer of cream around the fragrant chestnuts, she would eat them as cake.
Quan Caiwei and Xia Chujian's three roommates all cried while watching the scene, and together with the audience outside, they cursed the big brother.
Quan Yuxun had been observing Xia Chujian. Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, he smiled and asked, "Second Lieutenant Xia, don't you like this opera? We just rehearsed it last month, and every show has been packed. A TV station and producer have already started negotiating a film and television contract."
Xia Chujian shrugged and said, "It's okay, but it's not my cup of tea."
"It's not your tea? Then what kind of tea do you like?" Quan Caiwei wiped her tears with a tissue and asked in surprise, "I think it looks very nice!"
Xia Chujian thought with a smile, isn't it just some bloody things happening in an aristocratic family?
So even though they're nobles, they're no different from commoners in this regard...
Quan Caiwei must have read too few online novels on Star Network and didn't have the ability to separate the good from the bad.
Xia Chujian said perfunctorily: "That's why I said it's okay. Although I don't like it very much, there are always people who like it. This is normal. It's not a Beichen coin. Not everyone can like it, right?"
Quan Caiwei smiled and said, "When you first meet someone, you're always so humorous."
Quan Yuxun didn't let her go, and asked with interest, "Why doesn't Second Lieutenant Xia like it? Is it because the plot isn't twisty enough, or the twists aren't sharp enough? Or are the characters not three-dimensional enough? Or is it because the singing is off-key?"
Xia Chujian put down his chopsticks, wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and then said seriously: "Of course not, these are all very good, but they can't impress me, and this is why."
"Why can't I impress you? Then how can I impress you?" Kwon Yuxun sat leisurely, pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.
Xia Chujian didn't want to say much at first, but Quan Yuxun kept staring at her, so she just said a few words and let these self-proclaimed nobles see the power of children who grew up under the influence of online novels!
Xia Chujian then took a sip of the golden fruit juice and said, "When I said it couldn't move me, I meant that the plot was half-spoken and half-hidden, which made it difficult to make sense of the key points and made it difficult for me to understand the thread of the story."
"Oh? What's not clear? I think it's too detailed." Quan Caiwei asked curiously, "For example, when the groom's brother proposed to that noble lady, she listed so many conditions that it annoyed me to death."
Xia Chujian nodded and said, "That part is indeed very tedious, and it is meaningless. It seems that it is just to prolong the time so that the time of the three acts of the opera is consistent."
"Oh, right! It seems so!" Chu Qingjuan nodded in surprise. "Now that you mention it, it might really be the case!"
Xia Chujian continued, "It doesn't really matter if it takes longer. It's only an hour and a half opera after all, so it's normal to let it drag on for a few minutes. When I say the plot isn't coherent, I'm referring to the crucial parts."
Quan Yuxun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "What are the key points? I didn't pay attention to them."
Xia Chujian glanced at him and said with a smile, "Chief Quan didn't even notice? - Really? I don't believe it."
Then he leaned over to look at Quan Caiwei, who was sitting on the other side of Quan Yuxun, and said, "Caiwei, don't you think it's very abrupt that that big brother died suddenly in the Starry Sky Battlefield? He had just gotten married at that time, right? It's been over half a year? I remember our army has a wedding leave, at least a month, right?"
"Then, his wife became pregnant shortly after their wedding. According to Imperial military regulations, a sergeant can extend his leave when his wife is pregnant, right? Of course, I only vaguely remember these two points. Whether this is true or not, I need confirmation from the lieutenant officers of the Fifth Star Fleet."
She turned her head and looked at her three roommates on the other side.
Mao Yonggui nodded thoughtfully and said, "There are indeed two rules. The wedding leave is one month. After a female sergeant becomes pregnant, she has six months of leave."
"If a male sergeant's wife becomes pregnant, he can take a month's leave to accompany his wife. After the birth of the child, both men and women will receive maternity leave."
"Because one of the principles of the army is that it's best for soldiers to have families and offspring. This way we can avoid being killed off..."
Xia Chujian said, "Then I'm not mistaken. So under these two premises, why would my eldest brother, who is still on his honeymoon holiday, go to the Starry Sky Battlefield?"
Quan Caiwei added, "Yes, the lyrics clearly state that the eldest brother went to the battlefield less than a month after his marriage."
