"I'm not asking you to invite a troupe back, I'm asking you to find someone in the troupe," Zhong Mingwei explained to him. "It's on the eighth day of the fifth month. Isn't there a troupe from the capital going to Chenjiatun to perform? There's a female actress who can sing Exploring Qingshui River. Find her and bring her up the mountain for me."
"Sir, this..." Pang Yi frowned and looked at Zhong Mingwei up and down, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. But he finally spoke. "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If you want to listen to the opera, wait until the wife comes back, and then I will directly invite a troupe to sing for you two. But now the wife is not at home, and you only asked me to invite one actor to the mountain. This... If the wife knew, she would definitely be angry."
Since Mei Ya came back, Pang Yi was so happy. Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya reconciled. Naturally, there was no need to go back to the capital. He felt relieved. He was so happy these days, and naturally, he respected Mei Ya more. He hoped that Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya could live a stable life together, but now he suddenly heard that Zhong Mingwei wanted to find a female actor to go to the mountains. Pang Yi was naturally confused and resisted. He just said it in a tactful way, but he actually wanted to tell Zhong Mingwei, "How come your wife is back, but you are still so frivolous?"
"What are you thinking?" Zhong Mingwei had a headache. He looked at Pang Yi, this old man who had never understood romance. Now that he had been in Ningguta for a long time, Wanwan had become more and more thoughtful. He was a little embarrassed and helpless. "I just want to hear her sing a song and let her go after she finishes singing. What do you think I want to do?"
Mei Ya was going to come back that night to sing "Exploring the Qingshui River" for him, but then she stumbled and slipped into the river. When he wanted to listen again, Mei Ya was unwilling to sing. Zhong Mingwei found it very strange. Mei Ya was not that kind of person. Although she was easily shy, she would not be tense in front of him. So Zhong Mingwei felt something was wrong and wanted to know how the song "Exploring the Qingshui River" was sung at the end.
"Then... why do you have to wait until your wife comes down the mountain before you invite the actors up?" Pang Yi said relentlessly.
"You're still excited, right?!" The next second, Zhong Mingwei angrily grabbed a cup and threw it at Pang Yi.
Pang Yi took it steadily in his hand, and then while holding the cup, he muttered softly: "Master, I'm not overthinking it. Female actors are generally good-looking. If the lady knew that you secretly invited a beautiful female actor to the mountain, and it was me who found her, then the lady would be furious and would not be able to bear to get angry with you. Wouldn't I be in trouble? This is what they call a fire in the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond..."
"Shut up!" Zhong Mingwei could no longer bear it. He pointed at the chattering Pang Yi and sighed, "I used to hate you the most when you couldn't even fart after three kicks. Now I really like you back then."
"Master, I'm not a homosexual!" Pang Yi was immediately horrified. Looking at Zhong Mingwei's dark face, he touched his nose again and smiled awkwardly, "I just... I just wanted to make you laugh, hehe."
Zhong Mingwei: “…Get lost!”
That's so funny!
…
In the evening, Mei Ya and Gu Chang Lin came back talking and laughing.
"Zhong Mingwei, we bought dinner," Meiya shouted into the house as soon as she entered the yard, "We have big buns stuffed with shepherd's purse that you like."
"Okay, that's what I was thinking about." Zhong Mingwei limped out, holding on to the wall.
"Why did you come out?" Mei Ya was busy handing the bag in her hand to Gu Changlin, while jogging over to support Zhong Mingwei, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Can't you just stay in the room? Why did you have to come out?"
"I can't wait to see you," Zhong Mingwei said softly, taking a handkerchief to wipe Mei Ya's sweaty face, while rubbing the broken hair on Mei Ya's forehead, "I haven't seen you for a whole day."
"Can't we see the same if we open the window?" Mei Ya said with a blushing face, while supporting him and walking slowly in the yard.
"That's different," Zhong Mingwei whispered, "Not only are my eyes greedy, my hands and mouth are greedy too. I just want to hug you and kiss you..."
