After driving for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the theater.
There was still half an hour before the show started, so Yue Xiangli and Ning Sangyu took their seats.
There was hot tea on the table and some traditional snacks.
"It's Emei Cake. Do you want to eat it? If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to buy something else."
"I'm not picky."
"Yeah." Yue Xiangli poured her some tea, "Be careful with the heat."
"The Drunken Concubine is a single act, about fifteen minutes long, and there will be other drama performances afterwards, which will end around 5:30."
"It's almost dinner time, how about I treat you to dinner and then take you home?"
Ning Sangyu put her fingertips against the wall of the teacup to test the temperature. Looking at his gentle smile, she almost nodded.
"Then I'll send someone to inform your brother later that he doesn't have to wait for you for dinner."
"Yeah." Ning Sangyu nodded slightly.
People started to sit down at the tables nearby, and there were quiet conversations under the stage before the show started.
"There are so many people and the park is not well ventilated. Will it feel hot?"
“Somewhat.”
"Shall I help you take off your shawl?"
"Okay." Ning Sangyu felt that she couldn't seem to refuse the way he looked at her with a smile every time.
Yue Xiangli stood up and helped her take off her shawl.
When he got closer, he could smell the faint scent of her body. It was very fragrant and made him want to hold her in his arms.
"All right." He folded the shawl on a nearby chair.
When Shen Dingwei came over with his fiancée Zhao Junyi, he saw Yue Xiangli talking to a girl gently and unexpectedly looked at her a few more times.
Finally, he saw the true face of his sweetheart.
Seeing him looking at one place for a long time, Zhao Junyi couldn't help but follow his line of sight and looked over there, "Is that Yue Shuai?"
"Yes, it's him."
"There's a girl next to him. Do you want to go over and say hello to them?" Zhao Junyi was a little curious.
Ning Sangyu was drinking tea with her head down.
Yue Xiangli noticed that someone was looking at him, turned around and saw Shen Dingwei, and nodded at him.
"No need. He might even dislike us being in his way. Let's not disturb him from chasing his sweetheart."
"Yue Yue Shuai has a sweetheart. When I went to look for you before, I saw him and he looked so unapproachable that I was afraid to approach him." I wanted to see how he treated his sweetheart.
“This is the first time I’ve seen this today too. Let’s listen to our own advice. He’s covering himself tightly now.” Shen Dingwei pulled her to sit down.
With the reminder of the music, the opera soon began and the venue became quiet.
—Putting the car in the right place (narration)
"The Ice Wheel of the Island Turns for the First Time"
『See the Jade Rabbit』
"The Jade Rabbit Rises Early Again"
"The Ice Wheel Leaving the Island"
"The Universe is Extraordinarily Clear"
"Bright Moon in the Sky"
"Just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace"
…
The female roles in operas have mellow and full voices that sound soft and melodious.
Seeing that she was listening attentively, Yue Xiangli also looked towards the stage, listened to the singing attentively, and refilled her tea from time to time.
The drama was over. Yue Xiangli picked up the shawl that was placed aside, walked over to her and put it on her again. "What would you like to eat later?"
Surrounded by his breath, Ning Sangyu looked up at him and blinked gently.
Yue Xiangli used his fingers to smooth out the wrinkles on her shawl, lowered his eyes to meet her slightly nervous eyes, and asked with a smile: "Have you thought about it?"
"You decide. You are more familiar with Zhencheng."
"Then let's go to Yanzhou Restaurant. The dishes are all very good."
"Um."
Yue Xiangli walked out of the theater with her, and on the way they ran into Shen Dingwei and Zhao Junyi who was holding his arm.
“Xiang Li, what a coincidence.” Shen Dingwei said with a smile.
Zhao Junyi looked at Ning Sangyu curiously.
