Forensic Stories: Paradise

Chapter 33

, I'm here to pick you up tonight," he said.

"Will you take me to hell?" I asked.

"Well, you're at the end of your lifespan."

"Forget it, I've lived to such an age."

He stopped talking, just tightened his arms around me, as if I would run away.Lying on his shoulder, I could hear the pattering rain in my ears. I closed my eyes and I seemed to see the Shanghai Bund that year. He was the famous director of the Concession Bureau, and I was just a singer in the Liyuan...

The first time we met was at a private venue, the mayor Changshou arranged a birthday banquet in our theater, the mayor Suxi Wuxi and I sang Tsing Yi, it was nothing to do with me, but that day the mayor's wife ordered a song " "The Peony Pavilion", and then I thought about it, maybe it's called fate.

After the song was over, I was removing my make-up in the background, but an uninvited guest broke in regardless of the rules. According to the rules of the Liyuan business, outsiders are not allowed into the dressing rooms of Tsing Yi and Hua Dan.

The man was holding a bouquet of white lilies and said it was for the actor who sang "The Peony Pavilion" just now. At that time, I had already removed my makeup and changed into a long gown and mandarin jacket and stood in front of him. The person I'm looking for doesn't know it's right in front of me.When I told him the truth, he was dumbfounded and could not recover for a long time. I have never forgotten that appearance in my life.

I originally thought that if this layer of paper was pierced, he would not come again, because no matter how much I acted like a gentle and affectionate woman on stage, I was still a real man behind the scenes.

However, things are beyond my expectation.

Every time I go on stage, I can always see him listening to the opera with his eyes closed on the attic directly opposite on the second floor, and I can always receive a basket of white lilies from the flower girl behind the stage. He has never officially appeared but has always been in my life. Wandering in the middle never left.

The second time we met was at his sister's wedding banquet. His sister and brother-in-law were fan friends who met while listening to operas in our theater, and invited us to sing an opera as a souvenir.Only then did I know that his father was the vice premier of the government of the Republic of China at that time.

The owner of the theater knew that I had little friendship with him, and repeatedly told me not to have anything to do with him. No matter how much he likes me, there will be no result between us. Don’t say that we are all men, even if I am a woman , Gao Zhi'er from their Yun family is something that my first generation of opera singers can climb up to.

After the play, his sister left us a banquet, and specially reserved a table of good wine and food to reward us, but anyone who cared could see that those of us who could not be on the table were arranged in the corner of the table, next to the Take the people's table.

It's just that I have long been used to such a scene, and I don't mind much, I still eat and drink what I should eat.I also heard a bit of news from the discussion of the people around, it turned out that the Yun family had a lot of background, but the uncle's family was not vegetarian, he was actually the son of the largest weaver in the country.

The boss said that one official and one businessman have power and money, and this is what people call right.The meaning is nothing more than implying to me that even if you are a little Tsing Yi, you are tempted by the young master of the Yun family, it will be fruitless.I don't need him to tell me these things.

When it was time to go back after lunch, I was stopped by a little maid, saying that the young master had invited me.I have the intention of refusing, but I can't just refuse, after all, the troupe still relies on officials like them.

After a few words with the rest of the theater troupe, I went with the maid. In fact, I also wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear to him, so that he should stop being persistent and give those lilies to those who should be sent.

The servant girl led me around the huge villa, and finally arrived at a remote glass greenhouse.When I got to the place, the little maid retreated. I pushed open the door of the conservatory with doubts and anxiety, and the white lilies all over the ground came into my eyes. I was so surprised that I could hardly speak.

And in that lily garden, he held the watering can and said, "I have a present for you."

I looked at him in puzzlement. He held up the watering can, and the water droplets fell from the mouth of the shower, creating a faint rainbow under the sunshine. Behind the rainbow was his bright smile.At that moment, all the words that rejected him were blocked in my throat, and my heart was moved.

On that day, it happened to be my 17th birthday, and I received the most beautiful gift in my life.

The days that followed were very happy.He still often comes to the opera, and I still receive a bouquet of white lilies planted by him every time.

We fell in love secretly. Occasionally, when we watched a movie together, we had to enter the theater at different times. Even the seats had to be separated and we dared not sit side by side. We never held hands or even kissed. , often blushing and heartbeating, at a loss.

The first time we spent the night together was on Christmas Eve. I didn't want to celebrate foreigners' festivals, but there was a card with an address written on it in the white lilies sent by the little flower girl.I called the coachman to take me there, but it was him who answered the door.

He was wearing an apron, holding a spatula in his hand, and he looked very embarrassed. Before I walked in, I could smell the burnt smell all over my nose.He said aggrievedly: "I wanted to cook good dishes for you, but I didn't expect them to be burnt, and I almost burned the kitchen."

Where did the pampered young master ever enter the kitchen? I laughed at him for being stupid, but he still wanted to protest that I ignored him, rolled up his sleeves around him, walked into the kitchen following the growing smell of burning, and rolled a bowl for himself and him. noodles, and fried two eggs.

Xu Shi was starving when he was waiting for me. He devoured the noodles, puffed his cheeks and praised the deliciousness of the noodles, saying that he had never eaten such a delicious thing, and his mouth was sweeter than honey.

After dinner, I was washing the dishes, when he who was setting off fireworks in the yard suddenly yelled, "It's snowing!" He hurriedly wiped his hands and ran out, and sure enough, he saw snowflakes like goose feathers falling from the sky, rushing towards us one after another .

I raised my hand to catch the snowflakes, and he came over and pressed a kiss on my lips suddenly. I felt like I was frozen and dared not move, but he let out a smirk, and then he hugged me horizontally and hugged me. into the house.

That night, for the first time, I knew how to enjoy//love between men.When he entered//entered me, joy replaced all the pain. It turns out that being married to someone I like is such a blessing. I still remember him saying that he loves me over and over again in my ear...

That small courtyard became our secret base, where we would gather if we had nothing to do, sometimes we would just lie on the bed for a whole day, and sometimes we would hug each other and sit under the vines in the courtyard, counting the stars and looking at the moon.

Even though the happy days passed quickly, two years passed in a flash.For two years, we were careful not to let anyone find out. At that time, I naively thought that we could just love each other secretly for a lifetime, but the accident happened suddenly.

I just stepped off the stage that day and received the white lily from him as usual. I happily took off my makeup and prepared to go to the small yard to find him, but the boss appeared in the dressing room and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I'm still giving you You gave Bai Baihe, I thought he would not be interested in you as a man if he had a fiancee."

fiancée? !He didn't mention it to me. I thought the boss was joking with me, but it didn't look like he was joking.I ran back to the small courtyard restlessly all the way, and I questioned him without even taking a breath.

His silence turned into the cruelest answer. I threw the lily in my hand on his face and left in anger.I hope he will come after me, pull me back and tell me that even if he gets married, it won't affect our relationship, as long as he still loves me, I can bear the burden...

However, he didn't.

A month later, on the day of his wedding, he invited our troupe again, and it was said that his sister set it up.

When I was doing makeup backstage, the boss whispered in my ear: "You see, what I said at the beginning was correct, how can these young masters have true feelings, have they given you many lilies in the past two years? Married to someone else. People say actors are ruthless, but I think the most ruthless are powerful officials like them!"

I had no words to refute, so I had no choice but to hold back the urge to cry and put on makeup bit by bit. After today, we really have nothing to do with each other. The past bits and pieces will be stains that he doesn't want to look back, but these are indeed the most precious to me memories.

What they ordered was "Pairing of Immortals", a tune I am very familiar with, and when I stood on the stage and saw her holding his arm, I had long forgotten the words and tunes I knew so well, and the rest All that came down was the excruciating pain.

I stood on the stage and stared at him blankly, and he also stared at me intently.

"Do you love me?" I murmured to him after looking at each other for a long time.

"Love!" He responded loudly, and the guests were in an uproar.

He waved away the bride, rushed to the stage and hugged me into his arms, as if he wanted to rub me into his body, I hugged him back, no matter how much others pulled me, I would not let go.

However, two fists were no match for four hands, and we were forcibly pulled apart.He was taken away by his father, and I was taken away by the police and put in the police station.

In the cold prison, I sat on the edge of the bed and hummed an out-of-tune tune. I was very cool and happy. Even if the future was bleak, I was not afraid. As long as he still loves me, I am not afraid of anything.

The lunch on the second day was very rich, and the inmates in the same cell said that it was a meal for the road. It doesn't look like he's going to commit a major crime.

I was eating with my rice bowl in my hand, I didn't commit any major crimes, I just fell in love with someone, and I will never admit that he is someone I shouldn't love.After eating, I wiped my mouth clean, tidied up my clothes a little bit, and even if I die, I will go on the road clean.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, democracy and peace were preached everywhere, but the blood of the former Qing Dynasty still flowed in the bones, and the execution ground was always the same at Caishikou.remember before
