Sheng Wu deliberately slowed down when she stepped down from the stage, and went to the separate passage between the backstage and the pavilion on the third floor. She casually threw a kingfisher headpiece on her head onto the carpet.
Then he turned around and walked leisurely.
Five, four, three.
two.
one.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a cold, low-pitched male voice sounded from behind, carrying the majesty of a warrior on the battlefield.
"ah?"
Sheng Wu paused, and as she turned her head, she adjusted her expression, looking like a frightened little deer. Her beautiful eyes were watery, and she looked at the scene in surprise and with a hint of timidity and fear.
A man who was more than a head taller than him.
Probably about 1.9 meters tall.
Sheng Wu pursed her lips slightly, her eyes looking nervously at the man in front of her with strong wheat-colored skin and a sense of oppression.
"You... officer, what can I do for you?"
She seemed to be frightened by the murderous aura of the man, and spoke cautiously.
The man's sharp gaze was fixed on her. The moment the girl turned around, the charm of her eyebrows and eyes under the heavy makeup made Shen Junsheng tense. His wheat-colored face with clear contours froze slightly. His pupils trembled as he looked at her.
The lights on the stage were dim just now, so she couldn't be seen clearly. Now, they were only three meters apart in the corridor, so close that Shen Junsheng could see the red teardrop mole at the corner of Sheng Wu's eye.
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but his eyes were filled with ambiguous and trembling meanings.
"you......"
The man hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a hoarse voice.
He looked at Sheng Wu with deep and tender eyes, as if a century had passed.
After saying that, without waiting for Sheng Wu to react, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to pull Sheng Wu's arm, and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
“…You’re finally back?!”
The man reached out and hugged the girl tightly in his arms, pressing one hand on the back of her neck, as if afraid that she would disappear again. His trembling and hoarse voice was heartbreaking.
One of them is about 1.9 meters tall, and the other is about 1.7 meters tall. One is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and looks like a beast in his military uniform, while the other is slender and delicate in his costume, like a dodder that would break if pinched.
But when Sheng Wu heard what Shen Junsheng said, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold and dark. Did she... get the stand-in script?
"Officer, you have mistaken me for someone else!"
Sheng Wu's tone changed from timid to extremely cold. No one would be happy to be mistaken for a substitute.
As soon as Shen Junsheng heard these words, his body suddenly stiffened, and the recklessness and excitement that had just been lost were suddenly washed away by a basin of cold water.
"Impossible! I won't admit my mistake!"
Shen Junsheng's distraught expression froze in an instant. He suddenly let go of Sheng Wu and stared at her, trying to observe something.
"You are her, right? You are back, right? You come back to find me, right..." The rest of the "right" was not finished yet.
Before he could take a few more glances, he felt his vision blurring, and suddenly his vision went dark, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and it sounded quite painful.
After all, Sheng Wu didn't help him.
"idiot."
Glancing at the man on the ground, even though he was unconscious, he was still holding the kingfisher headdress in his hand.
Sheng Wu nonchalantly shook the wrist that had knocked Shen Junsheng unconscious, stepped over his body expressionlessly, and stepped on his hand that had accidentally hurt her hair.
Then left.
The man on the ground remained unconscious until he was discovered by his adjutant.
......
After Sheng Wu went backstage to remove her makeup, she ignored the flattery of the people in the troupe and went straight out of the theater.
"Ah, Miss, you finally came out. If you hadn't come out, I would have gone back to the mansion to look for someone."
Chunxi, who had been trembling with fear and feeling like he was doing something sneaky, immediately rushed forward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her appear.
Sheng Wu raised her hand and pointed at the watch on her left hand that Chen Guiwu had given her.
"Exactly two hours. Let's go back home."
After saying that, she calmly walked towards the street.
"Oh, okay."
Seeing this, Chunxi hurriedly followed.
"Miss, I saw the young master's car parked near the troupe. We should hurry back. If we run into him, we might get into trouble."
After all, the eldest young master doesn't like the young mistress. If he knew she came to a place like the opera troupe, he would probably tell the master about it.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu, who was walking in front, raised his eyebrows.
"Don't worry, we won't encounter that." At least not now. After all, he was knocked unconscious by me and was still lying on the ground.
Sheng Wu turned her head back slightly and glanced at the location of the theater, her red lips showing a half-smile. It didn't matter that there was no systematic navigation, because the poisonous insect she had cast on Shen Junsheng last time was useful.
No, the positioning is very accurate.
......
It was already evening when Shengwu and Chunxi returned home.
Gu Bai, who was responsible for her safety, was not in the main courtyard. No one knew where he had gone.
Shen Qinghuan and Shen Zheliu were still at school, so Shengwu had dinner alone.
"Snap, snap! Snap!"
It was the height of summer, and a heavy rain began to fall during dinner time. On the eaves of the house, streams of rain gradually meandered down along the tiles.
The sounds of the strings are mixed and chaotic, and pearls big and small fall on a jade plate.
The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of rain mist mixed with the soil and plants, which was particularly refreshing to smell.
Sheng Wu, wearing a light green lotus cheongsam, sat in the pavilion of the main courtyard. She drank tea nonchalantly, her fingertips tapping the stone table slowly.
Soon, something moved slightly on the back of her fair hand.
Upon seeing this, Shengwu's beautiful eyes drooped and her lips curved slightly.
She stood up, picked up a red oil-paper umbrella leaning against the stone table next to her, and walked straight to the cobblestone road in the courtyard, ignoring the heavy rain around her.
The red umbrella could only provide limited coverage, and the heavy rain was blown sideways by the wind, so that the hem and cuffs of Sheng Wu's light-colored cheongsam, which wrapped around her slender figure, were soaked by the rain.
The girl's slender figure was particularly hazy and graceful in the pouring rain. Her slightly curly long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and under the red oil-paper umbrella was a swan neck and a well-defined jaw.
The cheongsam that was split to the calf moved slightly, and the jade feet in pointed high heels were particularly seductive.
As Sheng Wu walked, she came to a small garden bridge and saw a pair of black military boots in front of her.
