"Ms. Jiang? Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Didn't something happen at your construction site yesterday? I've been meaning to ask you about this but never got around to it. How are you doing now?"

"It's okay. Thank you for your concern."

"I'm glad you're okay. Wasn't I supposed to have a performance at the South City Theater yesterday afternoon? Because there was a problem with the theater's line, yesterday's performance was delayed to this evening. Can you come?"

“You want me to come to your show?”

As Liang Yuanqi said this, he looked at Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu didn't want to listen to him talking on the phone, so she went to the bathroom and closed the door.

Looking at Xiaojiu walking into the bathroom, Liang Yuanqi suddenly thought of something.

Jiang Yuwei was so proactive most likely because she was interested in him. She was a girl, and it would be awkward for her if he rejected her directly. If he could bring Xiaojiu to see her performance, and Jiang Yuwei saw that he brought another girl, would she give up?

Then she told her mother that she didn't like her, and Teacher Li told her mother, so wouldn't the marriage be off?

"Tonight? What time?"

"Not too late, from 5 to 6:30, an hour and a half, very quick."

An hour and a half?

"Okay, I'll see. If I have time I'll go. I can't give you a definite answer right now."

"Okay, there are still seats in the VIP seats. If you come, tell me one hour in advance and I'll have the staff reserve the seat for you. If you don't come, the theater's internal staff will take the seat."

"I see."

After answering Jiang Yuwei's call, Liang Yuanqi began to organize his words in his mind on how to persuade Xiaojiu to go with him. While he was organizing his words, his cell phone rang again. This time it was his mother calling.

"Hey, Mom."

"Teacher Li told me that Yu Wei's performance yesterday was postponed to tonight. You see how destined you two are. You didn't have time to watch it yesterday, and it just so happened that the performance yesterday was not a success. You go to watch Yu Wei's performance tonight. Did you hear me?"

"I heard you, Mom."

Since He Keyuan has already given a strong order, Liang Yuanqi has no choice.

"Okay, as long as you agree, you must go. After the show, you can go shopping with Yu Wei and have some coffee. Love always starts with these things. You are a man, you have to take the initiative."

"Oh, I know."

Shortly after hanging up the phone with He Keyuan, Xiaojiu also came out of the bathroom.

"Have you finished your phone call?"

"Ah."

"Then tell me what you have to say."

Liang Yuanqi pursed his lips and asked carefully: "There is a classical dance performance at the South City Grand Theater at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Can I invite you to go with me?"

Invite her to a show?

"No." Xiaojiu answered simply, "I'm not interested in those performances."

Liang Yuanqi knew it.

"Going to the show this time is a political mission for me. I have to go, but I don't want to go alone."

"Then what does this have to do with me?"

Liang Yuanqi thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you crash my car? I know you must feel uncomfortable if you don't give me money, but I can't ask for your money. You accompany me to watch this show, which is also a favor to me. Helping me offsets the car accident, so you can feel at ease, right?"

"Are you blackmailing me morally?"

Liang Yuanqi smiled sheepishly: "If you say so, then so, how about it? Just one and a half hours, very quick."

Start at 5 o'clock and end at 6:30? Not too late.

Just to offset the fact that she hit his car.

"Okay, then come find me at 4:30. I'm going to sleep."

"Okay, you go to sleep, and we'll meet in the afternoon."

When Liang Yuanqi heard Xiaojiu agreed, he was so happy that his mouth almost stopped behind his ears.

After Liang Yuanqi left, Xiaojiu fell asleep. She had never slept well every day when she was with that devil. Now that that devil was gone, she could sleep well.

In order not to break the appointment, Xiaojiu set the alarm clock. When the alarm rang, she got up without delay, washed, put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

When she walked out of the hotel, she saw Liang Yuanqi leaning against the car waiting for her, holding something in his hand.

"You are indeed punctual." Liang Yuanqi handed her the milk tea in his hand, "Here you go."

Xiaojiu took it, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

Liang Yuanqi was very surprised by her question and replied: "Milk tea, you haven't tried it before, have you? Nowadays, young girls like to drink this."

She had indeed never drunk milk tea, but she had definitely seen it. However, the packaging of the one he bought was different, so she didn't recognize it at first.

After getting in the car, Liang Yuanqi said again: "Try it, the sugar in milk tea can promote the secretion of dopamine, so drinking milk tea can make people feel happy."

Can it make people happy? I am looking forward to it.

Xiaojiu took a sip and found it very sweet.

After getting in the car, she seemed to be less talkative, so Liang Yuanqi turned on the speakers in the car, and the song playing happened to be a song from Country C, which was particularly melodious.

It seemed that drinking the milk tea really made him feel happier, and Xiaojiu hummed the melody softly following the rhythm.

"Xiaojiu, you sing so beautifully."

Does she sing well?

"Really? This is a song written by a female musician from Country C. It's very famous. You grew up in Country C, so you must have heard it before. That's why it's so natural for you to sing it again. You sing it really well."

Liang Yuanqi was definitely not complimenting her. Objectively speaking, her humming just now was very pleasant to hear.

"When you are free someday, I will invite you to karaoke?"

"Don't go."

How could she have a future? After the Wei family closed the case, she would follow Ye He and would no longer have any contact with Liang Yuanqi. The future, whether it was dark, breaking through, or escaping, was all her own business.

Liang Yuanqi was used to her decisive refusal, and he stopped talking for fear of making her angry again.

Liang Yuanqi had already called Jiang Yuwei and said he wanted to bring a friend with him, so Jiang Yuwei reserved two seats for him.

This was the first time for Xiaojiu to be in such a large theater. Such a grand theater with such a large stage was really an eye-opener.

After sitting down, Xiaojiu didn't say anything, just kept looking at the stage, waiting for the performance to begin.

The lights in the theater dimmed and the spotlight focused on the screen with a few large words - classical dance drama "The Butterfly Lovers", with the leading female dancer Jiang Yuwei.

The first scene of the play is the appearance of Zhu Yingtai, played by Jiang Yuwei. The spotlight is all on her. She has gorgeous costumes and makeup, and is as beautiful as a fairy.

In Xiaojiu's eyes, she really looked like a fairy, a fairy under the spotlight, the center of everyone's attention.
