[Lou Li the Pretender] Orphan Note

The rain is good on Qingming, the sky is blue and the water is clear, the door of the country house is deeply closed, and the sound of rain comes from outside the door.

The rain was getting heavier, and the host of the farmhouse was hospitable, and advised the Ming family to wait for the rain to weaken before returning, so that they could drive safely.

The whole family does not like to be idle.

After all, the eldest sister has been in the business for many years and has sensitive tentacles. She has learned about the breakthrough in seed breeding technology from a young age, so she chose to settle in the farm.

Just in time, Ming Jing put on a grass cape and followed the owner to the fruit shed to observe.

Minglou wanted to read at first, but Yu Manli told him to follow the doctor's advice, so he had to take a nap on time.

The remaining few young men have their own concerns.

Cheng Jinyun, Mingcheng and Yu Manli were practicing the waltz in the big room where the master kept the farm tools.

Only Mingtai was left standing by the window of the living room, watching the flowers outside the window being smashed all over the place.

The noise of the rain could not drown out the occasional laughter in the next room.

Brother Ah Cheng has always been likable.

He's just low key.

Mingtai was bored, he didn't want to go in, he had no motivation and no mental preparation.

He has not yet acquired the skills to deal with the "ex-girlfriend and fiancee on the same stage" scene.

Even if it's just an ex-girlfriend in people's eyes, it's embarrassing enough.

Yu Manli was dancing inside, and he could imagine her dance steps.

Ah Cheng's hand might be placed on her waist, the two of them were extremely close, the more restrained she became, the more irresistible she was, he still remembered.

But Brother Ah Cheng must not understand the style.

Suddenly, he thought of the book "A Brief Introduction to the Western Disruption" that he saw at her home that day.

Thinking of the screen she embroidered by herself.

A pair of phoenixes are flying, brilliant enough to sting.

All vividly.

The door opened suddenly, and Cheng Jinyun pushed it open.

There was thin sweat on her forehead, and Mingtai hurriedly handed over a towel.

"Careful to catch a cold, put on your coat."

Cheng Jinyun smiled slightly, took it to wipe his sweat, "Aren't you going to come in and see? I thought you liked dancing."

Mingtai smiled, "Then sweat like you? I don't want it. It's not like the Navy Club here. When it's hot, you can have ice cream and cold drinks, and you can take a shower right away."

The young master has always been afraid of getting dirty, Cheng Jinyun thought, the military special agent squad should have smoothed his edges and corners long ago.

Whether it was the truth or an excuse, she didn't bother to expose it.

The wedding day is approaching, so why should she bother with others? With her fame and status, no matter how many flowers bloom like brocades, Yu Mingtai can only look at them.

Only Yu Manli and Ah Cheng were left in the room.

Without a phonograph, Yu Manli counted the beat in a low voice, "One, two, three..."

Ah Cheng studied very seriously, but he was at a loss when he moved, so Yu Manli reminded him softly.

It stands to reason that Ah Cheng has a background in Peking Opera and instrumental music, as well as full fighting skills, which should have been an excellent addition to the dance.

Right now, Yu Manli only thinks that Ah Cheng's dancing skills are...unbelievable.

The teaching of several basic movements is completed.

Ah Cheng handed Yu Manli a handkerchief, the plain white silk with blue dots, very aesthetically pleasing to Ah Cheng.

Yu Manli readily took it, and the handkerchief still had a faint aftertaste of Ming family fragrance.

Minglou doesn't use perfume, but his suit always smells of lemon.

Probably because of Ah Cheng.

Yu Manli was dazed, Ah Cheng saw it, "Miss Yu... Sapphire?"

Stimulated by the code name, she regained consciousness.

"Yes."

"Celadon" is the superior of "Sapphire", and she immediately entered the status.

Ah Cheng was very satisfied and responded very quickly.

He lowered his voice, "You did a good job just now."

Yu Manli said, "Cheng Jinyun doesn't know I'm Sapphire yet, right?"

Ah Cheng nodded.

Yu Manli understood, "But she probably guessed that you are Celadon. If you are too familiar with me, she will definitely be suspicious."

Ah Cheng smiled, "You have dispelled most of her doubts just now."

Yu Manli folded the handkerchief in half, pressed her forehead and the tip of her nose, "Really?"

Outside the door, Cheng Jinyun was also telling Mingtai the same thing.

"Yu Manli is not the Communist|Communist|Party, at least not yet."

"How are you sure?"

"I observed her interacting with Brother Ah Cheng. The two of them are not familiar with each other, and they often avoid their eyes."

"...They are all agents, you forgot."

If you want to play a show, you can pretend not only your eyes, but also your breathing.

Mingtai frowned, not feeling any more relaxed.

He originally thought that his eldest brother wanted to encourage Yu Manli to join the party in order to help her escape.

The so-called good home, in Mingtai's original intention, is to marry, and in Minglou's concept, it is to join the party.

So when he learned that Yu Manli was going to marry Minglou, he still speculated that they were a couple in name only, their love was just for show, and they were just speculative.

Cheng Jinyun told him, no.

what is that?

There is only one possibility.

Yu Manli really fell in love with her elder brother.

Or more likely, the eldest brother really wants to marry Yu Manli.

No matter which possibility, Mingtai can hardly accept it.

inside the room.

The conversation between Ah Cheng and Yu Manli is still going on.

Cheng Jinyun was gone forever, she was "chatting" with Mingtai, what they were talking about, the two people in the room knew it well.

The effect is achieved, and the atmosphere is more relaxed.

Yu Manli once again criticized Ah Cheng's dancing skills.

"How do you act as Director Wang's partner?"

Yu Manli was somewhat meaningful, "I remember that dancing is a compulsory course for secret agents, and you also graduated with all honors."

Ah Cheng coughed, "As you said, the ruler is shorter and the inch is longer."

Yu Manli didn't let him go, "There are people in this world who cannot be caught by manpower, except for one person, a spy."

A spy is not a person, but a tool of war. It is the best and sharpest knife of the organization. It should be used to seal the throat when the country is in danger.

So Ah Cheng shouldn't have any flaws, at least with his character, he will minimize the flaws.

Yu Manli thought, there is another possibility.

She blinked, "Just now you did a few bad moves, but the bad ones are just right, you won't step on me, and you can complete the moves, but it's not smooth."

Ah Cheng smiled, "That's your credit."

Yu Manli snorted, "Several times, your body has already flowed into the next move, and I felt your brain ordering, and you forced yourself to stop, right?"

She is a natural dancer, and it is clear at a glance whether the other party can dance or pretend not to dance.

Ah Cheng finally admitted, "Yes."

He said lightly, "So what?"

Yu Manli smiled, "Clumsiness is a protective color, especially in front of people who think they are smart, they are even more pleasing. Why do you want to please Wang Manchun?"

Is this also part of the mission?

A woman's intuition tells her yes, but not all.

"I didn't have the opportunity to receive an aristocratic education when I was young, and I still couldn't read until I was 15 years old. In Wang Manchun's impression, I was not good at dancing."

He answered very sincerely.

A childhood sweetheart for many years, the first impression is deeply ingrained, and after a long time, it becomes an opinion.Instead of subverting and reshaping a new role, it is better to continue to play the inherent image, giving Wang Manchun the illusion that "things remain the same", and at the same time relax her vigilance.

Yu Manli sighed softly, "You guys from the Ming family are so smart, they don't have a single heart."

Ah Cheng smiled, "What is sincerity?"

She looks at him.

Ah Cheng said seriously: "Clearing black and white is just the ideal of a novel, but there is only a gray area left in the world. Those who are deceived are also those who want to deceive others. If they suffer, it is their own fault, right."

Yu Manli was stunned.

Ah Cheng took back the blue and white handkerchief she was holding and put it back in his pocket, "I'm just a little witch, and my elder brother is an outsider. You will learn from him slowly in the future."

Ash is ready to go out.

Yu Manli smiled slightly, "Brother Ah Cheng..."

Ah Cheng turned his head and saw Yu Manli imitating the gesture of holding the skirt with both hands, and made a shallow kneeling salute.

She got up and stood up, "Director Wang also wants you to remember the basic etiquette, so don't forget that."

Ah Cheng smiled and went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Minglou with a cigar in his mouth, but he didn't light it.

"Brother, is there no fire?"

Minglou shook his head, "I haven't smoked for many days, I just have a dry addiction."

Ah Cheng secretly glanced back at the door, then at Minglou, and winked.

Minglou nodded.

In fact, it is not impossible to smoke.

It's just that the cigars are too strong, and Yu Manli always says that the smell is bad, and she will excuse herself to stay away.

Taking the overall situation into consideration, Ming Lou chose the good ones and followed them.

The good one is Yu Manli.

He thought about it, Ah Cheng had just come out, and he went in on the back foot, losing his demeanor, as if he was controlling her.

It's strange, it's just a nap, and the sky is already long.

Or just because he didn't see her.

Minglou gradually got used to wearing fragrant clothes and sideburns, accompanied by red sleeves and beautiful bosoms.

He felt a little abnormal.

It's time to wake up.

So he turned around and went out to watch the rain, just as he opened the umbrella with his hand, a figure got under the umbrella and tucked into his arms petitely.

"Borrow a light."

She spoke softly, as if she wasn't making a request.

Minglou raised his eyebrows, "Stop dancing?"

Yu Manli smiled but didn't speak.

She could feel Minglou's arms around her tightly, but he just hugged her in his arms.

The rain is cold and the wind is cold, but the heart is warm.

"You two have a tacit understanding. If you knew it earlier, you wouldn't have volunteered. You would still teach me to dance with Ah Cheng." Yu Manli asked suddenly.

Minglou didn't speak.

Yu Manli smiled, and she smiled lightly.

"Actually, you should have told me in advance that since I promised to fully cooperate with you, I would never break my promise."

Minglou sighed softly.

His breath sprayed behind her ears, condensing into a warm white mist in the freezing rain.

"Stop talking, it's windy."

Yu Manli stopped talking.

He's always so out of place.

Out of season, but exciting.

Is it because he is very understanding of people's hearts, or because he is willing to make her happy.

Yu Manli didn't want to think deeply.

Mingjing's Hongmen banquet has its own unspeakable purpose. Yu Manli practiced Tai Chi and didn't let her speak, blocking her back with every move.

But facing Minglou, she wanted to ask directly.

who am I?

Who should I be?

At this moment, the desire is so strong, it seems that Minglou's answer is heaven or hell.

But Yu Manli has already been to hell once.

So she will not be afraid.

Rather than being vaguely happy, she would rather be miserable and sober.

She has already seen through the sickness in the world.

Will Ming Lou be her prescription?If not, she would not complain.

Yu Manli looked at the rain curtain quietly, and Minglou's body temperature came from her back continuously.

"Manli... Let's get married after Mingtai's wedding is over."

Yu Manli heard it, but thought she had heard it wrong, so she froze and let herself struggle.

"...What about Wang Manchun?"

There is also the Ming family and organizations.

There are too many involved.

Minglou's voice was steady and calm.

"I will resign from all positions in the puppet government and become a pure scholar."

He paused, "At that time... would you like to accompany me?"
