Rebellion in Shanghai

Paramount, the largest entertainment center in Shanghai in the old days.

After getting off the car outside Paramount, CC folded his hands in front of him and looked up at the huge photo hanging on the wall.

The woman in the photo has long pink hair, rolling eyes, and bright red lips.She is now the most popular star of Paramount - Yuffie.

"Do you know her?" Lelouch also got out of the car, stood next to CC, followed her gaze, and then asked.

Looking back at Lelouch, CC replied slowly, "Don't you know her?"

"You figured it out again." Lelouch smiled without panic, and gently held CC's right hand, "Go in, I think Suzaku should be here by this time."

CC followed him noncommittally, but he didn't pull out the finger he was holding.

The first floor was a casino full of people, and vulgar shouts came out unscrupulously from inside, filling the eardrums.

Lelouch and CC passed by without paying attention, and went straight to the second floor through the stairs.

The second floor is an orthodox ballroom.It's just that it's still early, and there aren't many people inside.

Lelouch looked around, but couldn't find the person he was looking for.

"It must have slipped to the back again." Lelouch shook his head and said to himself, with a little helplessness on his brows, and then he dragged CC to the backstage.

A girl with a bright face was sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup, and a man with a handsome temperament stood behind her, chatting and laughing with her in a low voice from time to time.

Seeing these two people, Lelouch smiled slightly, and approached with CC, "You are indeed here."

Hearing Lelouch's voice, Yuffie and Suzaku turned their heads together, there was a moment of shock and panic on their faces, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

Yuffie stood up holding a pink feather fan, stretched out her slender right hand and looked at CC with a friendly face, "I've admired you for a long time, Miss CC."

CC smiled, at the same time stretched out his hand and gently shook Yuffie's hand, and then retracted politely.

"Sit down and talk, don't just stand." Yuffie signaled Suzaku beside him to move over two chairs not far away, and then politely called Lelouch and CC to sit down.

"Is Yuffie going to be on stage again tonight?" After sitting down, Lelouch inadvertently took a look at Yuffie's clothes and makeup, and asked casually.

Yuffie nodded, and then subconsciously looked at Suzaku beside him, "A few merchants from Hong Kong are here tonight."

Suzaku seemed unwilling to talk too much about Yuffie's appearance on stage, so she hurriedly changed the subject, "Why did you come here today?"

As if he had expected Suzaku to do this, Lelouch shrugged unsurprisingly, "It's just for entertainment."

Yuffie cast a reproachful glance at Suzaku, then looked at the Western clock hanging on the wall, "You guys came a little early, there should be a few more hours."

"We can have an afternoon tea first, and then come over." Lelouch said calmly, while shaking CC's fingers beside him.She seemed extraordinarily docile today, rarely speaking.

Seeing this scene, Suzaku and Yuffie felt a little surprised, but their good upbringing still prevented them from asking, and just smiled at each other knowingly.Before that, Suzaku had already called Yuffie and told her that Lelouch brought the injured CC to find him in a panic.

Lelouch only ignored the meeting of their eyes, pulled CC to stand up and said goodbye, "Then see you later, Suzaku and Yuffie."

Leaving Paramount, Lelouch and CC walked into a nearby coffee shop with elegant decoration and European style.Lelouch ordered a glass of Blue Mountain himself, but ordered a cappuccino for CC.

Looking at the coffee brought by the waiter, CC smiled and picked up the cup noncommittally.

"Yuffie is my sister." Lelouch looked at the vase on the table and said slowly, a dewy white rose bloomed alone in the vase, "When I went to the pier, I found it among a group of homeless children. her."

CC just listened quietly and didn't talk much, but for some reason, he also thought of VV who had been with him for many years.This kind of bond is actually closer than blood.

Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Lelouch shook his head with a half-smile, "Suzaku and Yuffie are the people I trust the most, even more than Kallen Todo."

Seeing Lelouch mention those people before, CC's eyebrows moved slightly, but she still didn't say anything, just listening to Lelouch go on talking.

Lelouch suddenly saw that the coffee in front of CC hadn't moved, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why, you don't like cappuccino?"

CC's eyes also fell on his coffee cup, staring at the light-colored liquid in the cup, then shifted his gaze to look at the blue mountain beside Lelouch, with an ethereal smile on his face, "Actually, I like Blue Mountain."

The two stayed in the coffee shop for too long, and when they returned to Paramount, the dance had already begun.

Under the ever-changing neon lights, a woman with a better figure is singing "Night Shanghai" coyly.

CC was looking at the woman on the stage, when Lelouch suddenly stretched out his hand in front of her, with a faint smile in his purple eyes, "How about a favor?"

Looking at the palm stretched out in front of her, CC also smiled, and naturally put her hand in his, and the two danced lightly.

The girl on the stage walked down after singing a song, and the lights in the venue dimmed, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Yuffie is going on stage." Lelouch leaned close to CC's cheek and said softly, his lips lightly brushing her white skin.

As soon as his topic fell, a large amount of white smoke was released from the stage. Yuffie came wearing a dress like a phoenix tail, and at the same time, a sweet and melodious singing resounded through the audience.

Many people stopped dancing and concentrated on watching the diva on the stage with a look of surprise on her face.Lelouch and CC didn't want to appear too abrupt, so they also stopped.

With the tip of CC's ears, he suddenly heard a few men talking not far away, but they were speaking in Japanese.

Before he could hear what they said clearly, CC saw that they were about to leave, so he hurriedly pointed his eyes at Lelouch.The latter understood, and followed CC along with him, pretending to leave by chance.

Presumably these few people didn't expect that they would be followed, and they didn't care when they got out of Paramount. They continued to talk in Japanese while walking, without any scruples.

It didn't matter that Lelouch couldn't understand Japanese, but CC's face gradually became serious.

It wasn't until those people walked into a villa that Lelouch and CC could no longer follow them.

Seeing CC's rare solemn expression, Lelouch couldn't help frowning slightly, "Do you understand Japanese?"

"It's just a rough idea." CC replied lightly, as if he didn't want to talk about this matter, "Do you know what they are talking about?"

"I can't understand Japanese." Lelouch was obviously unhappy that she was hiding something, so he shrugged coldly.

CC didn't care about his attitude this time, and his face became more serious, "They want to buy a lot of arms from the Chinese."
