Chapter 540 [Old 9 Gate 19]
When Chen Pi heard that Lin Yueyue had gone to the opera house, he hurried over. However, he was far away, so he arrived a little late. When he arrived, he saw a group of people sitting together and chatting.
Er Yuehong caught a glimpse of Chen Pi and asked with a smile, "Chen Pi, why are you here suddenly?"
Chen Pi scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Master, I haven't been to the opera house for a long time. I missed it a little, so I came here to see you." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously drifted to Lin Yueyue who was standing beside him.
Er Yuehong noticed Chen Pi's absent-mindedness and couldn't help but scold him with a smile: "Come on, stop pretending! You are obviously not interested in the wine, don't you know me? I have never seen you run to the opera house so actively on weekdays."
After being exposed, Chen Pi's face flushed with heat and turned red in an instant. He explained in a panic, "Master, you misunderstood! I just wanted to come to the opera house to take a look. I really have no other intentions. But..." He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and still mustered up the courage to continue, "But, I did hear that the second young lady of the Xie family came to the opera house, so I wanted to come and take a look."
"Master, I just heard you guys say you want to rehearse. Master, why don't we choose a day? Today is a good day." Chen Pi suggested. He just wanted to keep Lin Yueyue for a while. His eyes fell on Lin Yueyue, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes. He hoped that through this rehearsal, he could get closer to Lin Yueyue and better show his talent.
Er Yuehong looked at Youyou gently and said softly, "I wonder what Youyou think?" His eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity.
Youyou frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but I wonder if Second Master has costumes?" Her eyes revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation.
Er Yuehong smiled and nodded, and replied, "Of course, what piece does Youyou want to perform?" There was a hint of pampering in his voice.
Youyou said without hesitation: "Let's watch Farewell My Concubine." Her tone was firm and confident.
A hint of surprise flashed in Er Yuehong's eyes, and he immediately agreed, "Okay!" His face was filled with joy.
Afterwards, the two walked backstage together and began to change their costumes for the performance. Youyou put on a gorgeous costume of Xiang Yu, showing a brave and fearless temperament, while Er Yuehong put on the costume of Yu Ji, showing a graceful and soft temperament.
The others sat in the audience, quietly waiting for their wonderful performance. Time passed by, and finally, they saw Er Yuehong and Youyou walk out from behind the scenes, and the lights on the stage illuminated their figures.
Everyone's attention was attracted, and they were looking forward to this unique performance. As the music started, Er Yuehong and You You began their performance.
Er Yuehong: Since then, I have followed the king in his campaigns, enduring hardships and hardships year after year. I only hate the ruthless Qin that destroyed all the people and brought them into misery.
Youyou: Several generals in the Han camp were stabbed with spears. How could the brave men guard against the ambush from all sides? They ordered the troops to stop sending out and return to their tents.
Er Yuehong: My king, who will win or lose in today's battle?
Youyou: We have stabbed several generals in the Han camp with spears. How can we face the enemy with so many people and so few as to make it difficult to win? This is the will of heaven, not the fault of war.
Er Yuehong: Victory or defeat in war is common, so why worry about it? I have some wine ready, let's drink a few cups together to relieve our boredom.
……
Zhang Qishan looked at the two people on the stage, feeling very depressed. He wanted to rush onto the stage immediately, kick Er Yuehong off, and then stand next to Youyou. As for what the opera was about, he had no idea, and his eyes were always on Youyou, who played Xiang Yu.
On the other side, Chen Pi was being very attentive to Lin Yueyue, peeling fruit for her and chestnuts for her. Chen Pi didn't even glance at the stage, as if he wasn't the one who suggested watching the show, and all his thoughts were on Lin Yueyue.
Yin Xinyue looked at the two people beside her, with obvious impatience on her face. She said with a hint of annoyance in her tone: "Chenpi, can you be quiet? How can I be in the mood to listen to the opera when you are so noisy!"
However, Chen Pi didn't care, and even responded provocatively: "If you find me annoying, you can just pretend not to see me. I'll do my thing, and you can do your thing. Let's not get in each other's way."
Hearing this, Yin Xinyue's face became even uglier, and she said angrily: "I just can't stand you, you are really annoying!"
Chen Pi seemed to want to irritate her on purpose. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of teasing smile, he continued: "What's wrong with me quarreling with you? Are you not used to seeing me chatting with Yue Yue? Oh, are you jealous of us?"
Yin Xinyue was so angry that her face turned red. She raised her hand and wanted to hit Chenpi, shouting angrily: "You...Chenpi"
At this moment, Lin Yueyue hurriedly grabbed Yin Xinyue, fearing that she would do something impulsive. Then, she turned to Chenpi and said seriously: "Chenpi, be quiet and stop causing trouble all the time."
When Chen Pi saw Lin Yueyue's firm attitude, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes, but he still nodded obediently and said softly: "Okay, I'll listen to Yueyue." After that, his gaze fell on Lin Yueyue again, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering.
Yin Xinyue was really speechless. She didn’t know how to describe her mood at the moment, so she had to force herself not to look at the two people who made her feel helpless, but instead focused her attention on the two people on the stage.
