Arsenal Military Academy

When Xie Xiang changed into women’s clothes and rushed to the dormitory of Xinhua Girls’ School, Huang Song was arguing with the dormitory teacher. His head was sweaty. According to reason, the dormitory teacher was very helpless. Unwilling.

Xie Xiang ran over and pulled Ponderosa away in small steps, and didn't let him go until he got out of the school gate.

Huang Song was very pleasantly surprised. Xie Xiang didn't use any strength to follow her, but he didn't forget his doubts, "Why do your dormitory teachers always say that there is no such person as you?"

Xie Xiang lied without changing his face and heartbeat: "If you don't benefit her, she won't help you spread the word to find someone."

"That's it." Huang Song knew it, and nodded again: "Then I understand."

The two of them walked for a while, Huang Song always peeked at her from time to time, and finally plucked up the courage to take out two tickets from his pocket and handed them to Xie Xiang invitingly: "The ballet troupe from Beiping is coming over to perform. At 1:30 this afternoon, I was performing "Blessings of Love" at Shengping Theater. I asked a friend for two tickets."

He stared at Xie Xiang, waiting for her to answer.

Xie Xiang's heart was astringent, and he looked down at the two tickets. The tickets were crumpled, as if they had been squeezed in his hand for a long time.

In fact, she has been learning ballet since she was a child, and she danced very well, and she played the leading role in a dance company. However, since Xie Liangchen's accident, she never jumped anymore, instead went into the fire and picked up the gun.

Xie Xiang feels soft. She originally planned to tell Huang Song clearly today, but even if she refuses Huang Song, it can't be too abrupt. What's more, Huang Song is so sincere, if she refuses him now, I don’t know. How frustrated this kid is.

She nodded and looked at Huang Song's cheerful look, vaguely feeling that she should be beaten up.

First went to dinner with Huang Song, and then went to Shengping Theater.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shengping Theater is the first theater in Shunyuan. It has a long history, has been established decades ago, and has been spreading to the present. The furnishings in the theater are the most common, a large stage with red curtains hung on both sides. The stage is full of seats, one row after another, one next to the other, and there are only two aisles between the seats.

Those who come here to watch the performance, whether they are wealthy businessmen and politicians with prominent family backgrounds and power, or ordinary people in rough clothes and shoes, all have to sit in one place and treat them equally.

When the two entered the theater, it was still quiet inside. There was no one in the auditorium, only a few actors were rehearsing on the stage. Xie Xiang looked at his watch, they had to go to the front row to wait an hour earlier. .

Because there was almost no one in the theater because of the early arrival, she and Huang Song became particularly prominent. The actors are preparing for the performance. Some are moving props and some are walking the stage. She glanced at it several times, and was very puzzled to see a few familiar faces.

Before she thought it through, both she and Huang Song heard someone calling her, and the person calling her was Xie Xiang's old friend, named Meng Yue. He is Xie Xiang's senior in Peking, and he not only knows Xie Xiang, but also Xie Liangchen. If you let him talk about it, you can't help but disguise yourself as a man.

"Xie Xiang, why are you here?" Looking at Meng Yue with a surprised look, Xie Xiang turned around and told Huang Song, hurriedly greeted him and pulled him aside to reminisce about the past. Huang Song wanted to hear it, but he didn't come over. He sat there obediently and waited.

He is really a very honest and considerate person. Xie Xiang blinked his dry eyes and blamed himself more and more.

While talking to Meng Yue, Xie Xiang wondered what kind of excuse she could find to take Huang Song away. At this moment, she completely woke up. Isn't this dance troupe the same dance troupe she once belonged to? There are few newcomers, but there are still many old people who should still be there. Xie Xiang can't stay longer. He was thinking about how to end the conversation. A scream of girls suddenly appeared on the stage. Meng Yue's face changed drastically, and she quickly ran onto the stage.

A woman on the stage buckled her ankle and fell to the ground. Her delicate eyebrows were twisted together, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead, and a cry of pain overflowed from her mouth.

The opportunity is not to be missed, the loss will not come again, it is now!

Xie Xiang turned around and pulled Huang Song to sneak away. Meng Yue called her name with a loud voice behind him. He had this idea from the moment he saw Xie Xiang. Should it be God's arrangement? Meng Yue strode in front of the two of them, and could not help but drag Xie Xiang to the dressing room in the backstage.

"This time I count on you. The lead dancer was injured by the fall, and our B corner happened to be injured, so no one can replace you but you!"

The girl who fell on the stage was named Lu Li, and it was the lead dancer of this stage play, who played the role of Zhu Yingtai. Before her, this role was played by Xie Xiang, and Luli didn't join the group until Xie Xiang left. This time Lu Li injured his ankle, and he definitely couldn't continue performing. Xie Xiang happened to be here and could fill the gap.

If Xie Xiang doesn't help, the performance this time will be a waste.

Even so, Xie Xiang still declined in every possible way. Meng Yue directly stuffed her into the dressing room. As soon as he entered, Xie Xiang saw acquaintances, Wanying and Yun Yi, who had been Xie Xiang's dancers.

Several people had a tacit understanding that came out after dozens of performances. Meng Yue gave a simple command. The two could not help but say to hold Xie Xiang and put on makeup.

Xie Xiang was surrounded by familiar sisters, listening to them talk about familiar topics, missed a little, but never retreated, that is the future she abandoned, because of Xie Liangchen, she abruptly changed everything she knew.

Soon she was dressed up. Xie Xiang looked at herself in the mirror. She had neither a flowery face nor a feminine beauty. There was no powder on her face, and she only used an eyebrow pencil to lift the eyebrows. Pick, just add a little bit of heroism.

It seemed that the performance this time was destined to be impossible to hide. Xie Xiang was worried, so he had to stand up and warm up, and asked, "Wanying, why did you come to Shunyuan to perform."

Wanying watched her skillfully press her legs, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Meng was looking for a sponsor from Shunyuan. He sponsored us for more than a dozen performances in Beiping. In return, we came to Shunyuan."

Shunyuan’s sponsor...Xie Xiang has a vague premonition for such a big deal. Where did Wanying know her thoughts, she has already taken her to the stage waiting area, Xie Xiang is a little nervous, and hasn’t skipped it for a long time. , Wanying patted her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, you will do it."

The curtain opened on the stage and the light gradually brightened. Xie Xiang took a deep breath and walked onto the stage amidst applause. Although he hadn't jumped for a long time, every stoop, tiptoe, kick was deeply engraved in thanks. In Xiang's bones, there is no need to think back, no need to deliberately, naturally, it is a gorgeous movement.

She is like a butterfly, enjoying the stage and music, dancing with her male partner, methodically and without error.

When the dance came to an end, Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo, played by Xie Xiang, flew away. She stood on tiptoes and began to spin. The white veil floated gently with the swing of her waist, and she really seemed to be in a trance. Turn away from the butterfly. The music stopped abruptly, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the stage plunged into darkness.

The applause from the audience continued for a long time, until the lights on the stage turned on again, and Xie Xiang got up and bowed deeply with the other actors and stepped off the stage.

It hasn't been such a hearty experience for a long time. At a certain moment, she almost forgot where she was, and forgot whether she was Xie Liangchen or Xie Xiang.

But soon, she was thrown cold water on her head by a scene that had just flashed in her mind. She couldn't even respond to the congratulations from other actors, and hurriedly walked to the dressing room. When she just left, she seemed to see Shen Shen. Jun Shan sat in the back row.

The patron of the trip to the dance group mentioned by Wanying is undoubtedly the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce. Yes, the supplies of the Xie Zhipei School last time were not funded by the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Xie Xiang ran into the locker room and quickly took off his costume. A wanying voice rang outside the door.

"You stop, there is the actress's dressing room!"

"I'm looking for someone!"

A familiar and indifferent voice came, Xie Xiang hid in the closet holding the costume, a cold sweat on his forehead. The door was opened. Shen Junshan looked around and didn't find the person he was looking for. He said sorry and closed the door.

Xie Xiang let out a long sigh of relief. Her heart was about to jump to her throat. Her feet were soft for a while, and she got dressed and sat there for a long time before she walked out. She went to Meng Yue first, and repeatedly confirmed that he did not Xiang Shen. When Jun Shan revealed anything related to Xie Liangchen, he walked out with Huang Song with anxiety.

Huang Song was very excited. He didn't expect to invite Xie Xiang to watch the ballet. In the end, Xie Xiang went to the lead dancer of the ballet in person. This made his excited heart about to jump out directly... the first time I saw a ballet. Huang Song was greatly shocked and kept talking about the audience's evaluation of Xie Xiang today, saying that she was born Zhu Yingtai.

Huang Song's praise was endless. Seeing her eyes became more obsessed, Xie Xiang's nerves trembled, and there was a single response.

Not only for Huang Song's attitude, Xie Xiang is still panicking at the appearance of Shen Junshan just now, and her identity is almost discovered.

Seeing that she was depressed, Huang Song was very witty and stopped saying anything, as if he was reflecting on whether he had done something wrong.

He only said that Xie Xiang was a beautiful flower in the greenhouse, and his wild grass growing in the mountains, rude and lowly, can only be cautious to make that flower look at him occasionally.

A rush of footsteps broke the quiet atmosphere of the two. A group of students were chased by the police and ran all over the street. They ran in a hurry, the people ran away, and Huang Song's sight was taken away. His face changed suddenly and he shouted. With a sound of the little crane, even Xie Xiang couldn't take care of it, and ran over after one of the children.

Yellow crane? Isn't that Huang Song's younger brother, Xie Xiang chased after him without saying a word.

She was still wearing a skirt, but her posture was steady and her footsteps were brisk, and she soon caught up with the group of people.

The students fled around and soon disappeared. Three policemen chased Huang He into an alley. Huang Song followed in. Xie Xiang ran over two minutes later and saw the three policemen file out. They turned their heads. Putting down the cruel words, rubbing his blushed face.

With a sigh of relief, Xie Xiang stood by and watched the police walk away, and waited until the two brothers came out slowly.

"Is it okay?" She pretended to know nothing.

Huang Song nodded, his expression was not very good, looked at both sides of the street, and took Huang He and Xie Xiang to the noodle shop. Xie Xiang had eaten with Huang Song before watching the show, so the two of them didn’t order food, but Huang He was tired and exhausted too much. He ate a big bowl of noodles and snorted. .

Huang Song remained silent until Huang He finished eating the noodles before the interrogation began. He was not as silly and stupid as he usually was in the military academy, with a rare seriousness and seriousness on his face.

"Why are the police chasing you?"

Huang He lowered his head and said weakly: "I, I will help classmates put up slogans."

"What slogan?" Xie Xiang was curious.

Huang He broke his fingers and counted seriously: "I oppose the 21st, oppose the Japanese occupation of Qingdao, oppose Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy, and oppose the dictatorship of warlords."

Huang Song wanted to say something, who knew Xie Xiang couldn't help laughing first.

"Yeah, you are quite opposed to it."

He was stunned for a moment, stared at Xie Xiang, and saw that Xie Xiang was still smiling and didn't mean to abandon the blame at all.

Those beautiful and deep eyes, shining with moving brilliance, are like the most precious black gems in the world, with ideals and beliefs in them.

"Nice work, but you are still young, we have to worry about this kind of thing, you should still focus on studying." Xie Xiang blinked and cast a look at Huang He.

Huang Song felt right, and gave him a serious meal, and said a lot of things such as studying hard and going home to see if there is nothing to do.

Huang He lowered his head and dared not speak, which shows that he respects this brother very much. But when Huang Song finished his reprimand, he looked at Huang Song with a smile on his face: "Brother, can you give me some money? I have all spent my money, and I have no money to eat recently."

Huang Song looked embarrassed and stretched out his pocket. After not taking out anything for a long time, Xie Xiang quickly took out a handful of silver dollars and handed it to Huang He.

"Is this enough?"

"Enough, enough, these are enough for me to use for half a year." Huang He didn't be polite with Xie Xiang, and ran out of the noodle restaurant like a rabbit.

On the way back to school, Huang Song was very embarrassed, "Xie Xiang, thank you just now. I took this month’s payment and will pay it back to you immediately, but you gave Huang He too much, and I may not be able to pay it all at once. ."

Xie Xiang knew his temperament and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to worry, I have money to use it, but you, it is not easy at home, leave more money to supplement the family."

Huang Song honestly explained the situation of his family, "Now it is very good. My sister is married and has food and clothing. I became a soldier and entered the military academy. Not only did I eat some food, but I also paid for it. Maybe I will be a military officer in the future; my brother has studied again, and if I know Quanxia, ​​my parents will definitely be happy from ear to ear."

What appeared on his face was a sincere and satisfying smile. Indeed, he came out of hardship and gained a certain amount of strength through his hard work. In his eyes and many people's eyes, fate seems to have no way to manipulate him at will. NS.
