dream back

Mingcheng was busy in the kitchen.Minglou came in and asked, "What are you doing?"

While putting a bowl of pears with rock sugar into the steamer, Mingcheng turned his head and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm busy and I haven't had time to report to you yet."

"Finished?" Ming Lou asked, "Have you released the water again?"

Mingcheng put the lid on the pot and said with a smile: "I also hit him hard a few times. No, I lost my temper and insisted on eating canned food. Martial law was imposed outside, and there was no storage at home, so I had to give it to him. Let’s make a candied pear first.”

Minglou nodded: "Do more, he probably didn't even eat dinner."

Mingcheng has already lifted the lid of another pot: "I prepared fried rice with eggs for him when he left, but he hasn't eaten it yet, so I heated it up for him again, or you can coax him to eat something."

"How old is he, I still coax him to eat." Minglou reprimanded Mingcheng lightly, "You know how to spoil him and let him eat by himself! Get him some beef sauce and make seaweed soup."

"It's so late, you really don't mind the trouble." Mingcheng couldn't help laughing and said, "You also said that I was spoiling him, you are almost catching up with eldest sister."

"Speaking of Eldest Sister, he didn't say he wanted to file a complaint with Eldest Sister?" Ming Lou also laughed.

"Why didn't you say it? You just kept arguing about sending a telegram to the eldest sister. I said this, the telegraph office was off work, so he reluctantly agreed, saying that he would send a telegram to the eldest sister in the morning." Mingcheng As he said, he has already gone to prepare seaweed soup.

Minglou nodded with a smile, walked outside, stopped and turned around and said, "Don't make your soup salty anymore."

Mingcheng is helpless, just this once, you still talk about it.

But Mingcheng was also puzzled, that was his best soup, why it was salty.

Sunny, rare sunny day.

Mingtai lay on the bed and refused to get up.There was a light knock on the door, and Mingcheng outside the door called him to get up and eat.

"Eat, eat, you know how to eat, besides letting me eat, let me study, is there any way to live this life?" Mingtai buried his head under the quilt.

"Get up quickly." Mingcheng opened the door and came in, and stood beside Mingtai's bed: "Don't make big brother wait for you."

Mingtai lifted the quilt, sat up abruptly, and said angrily, "Why, does he still want to beat me up?"

Mingcheng coaxed him: "As long as you obediently study at home, no one will find fault with you."

Mingtai pushed Mingcheng away angrily: "You don't need to slap me and give me a sweet date, I'm not a child anymore, I'll let you fool me."

Mingcheng smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, our young master has grown up. When he grows up, he should be more sensible, let's go down."

Mingtai was gasping for breath, and went to take a shower.Mingcheng smiled and went out first.

Minglou sat at the dining table, reading a newspaper.

Mingcheng said: "Mingtai will come down in a while, I slept a little late yesterday."

Ming Lou nodded: "What are your plans for today?"

Mingcheng sat down, took a piece of bread and put it to his mouth. Hearing Minglou's question, he took a bite of the bread and said, "I don't have any arrangements. Don't you have two classes today? I'll still be my teaching assistant."

"You and Lingzi, how did you know each other?" Minglou put down the newspaper and asked.

Mingcheng looked at Mingtai's room, "Can you not ask these questions?" Mingcheng lost his appetite at all.

"Lingzi came to my class." Minglou also picked up the chopsticks and said casually, "Is that the first time you two met?"

Mingcheng had no choice but to answer: "Yes. She came late, and the textbook was lost, so I picked it up for her."

Mingcheng didn't continue talking, Mingtai already came out with his face pouted and his head drooping.

"Eat first, let's talk about your business later." Minglou instructed Mingcheng.Then he said to Mingtai who came over: "Eat a meal, it's still a long time. Are you really waiting for someone to feed you? Next time you get up late, you don't have to eat."

Lingzi is a very delicate, gentle and shy girl.

Minglou and Mingcheng are very popular in the school. Professor Minglou and Mingcheng's teaching assistant in the School of Economics are young, promising, handsome and rich, and they are the idols and yearning objects of many female students.

Lingzi came to Minglou's economics class, originally with another girl.They went to the wrong classroom and came late.The classroom was full, and Reiko and her friends stood awkwardly in the last row.

Mingcheng moved two chairs.When Lingzi bowed to thank him, the books and picture albums in his arms fell to the ground again.Mingcheng helped her pick it up.

Mingcheng's politeness made Lingzi's face flush.

Lingzi is an art student, and in the picture album spread out on the floor, there happened to be a pencil drawing of Mingcheng's silhouette.Mingcheng pretended not to see it, closed the album calmly, and returned it to Lingzi.

I met Reiko again in the school's studio.

Mingcheng also likes to draw.That day, the Academy of Fine Arts of the school happened to invite a famous painter as a guest.Mingcheng also went to attend the class, Lingzi came late again, there were still three or five seats in the classroom, but no one was willing to share a seat with Lingzi.Mingcheng saw Lingzi's embarrassment, and moved half of the seat to Lingzi.

Lingzi gratefully sat beside Mingcheng.

When get out of class was over, Reiko formally thanked Mingcheng, saying to Mingcheng, "Thank you, my name is Sakuragi Reiko, and I'm Japanese."

When Lingzi said this, he was cautious and apprehensive.The Japanese, even in France, are still frowned upon by many, especially the Chinese.

Mingcheng nodded politely to Lingzi: "My name is Mingcheng, and I'm Chinese."

"I'm sorry." Lingzi immediately bowed and apologized.

"It's not you who should apologize." Mingcheng smiled slightly, "You're just a student."

"Mingcheng-kun." Sakuragi Reiko was very moved and grateful, and bowed again: "Thank you, Mingcheng-kun."

For the third time, Mingcheng saw Lingzi being pushed against the wall by a Chinese student: "The grove behind the campus, if you dare not go, I want you to see it."

Lingzi was terrified and helpless, she looked up and saw Mingcheng approaching.

"Ming Cheng, although I am Japanese, I have never been to China. I am sorry for the mistakes made by the Japanese." Lingzi burst into tears.

Mingcheng took out a handkerchief and handed it to Lingzi: "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

"But, they let me go. I'm very scared." Lingzi wept uncontrollably.

Mingcheng knew that there were some radical patriotic youths in the school who were patriotic, but they didn't find a suitable way.Especially bullying a girl who is also studying abroad is not advisable.

"I'll go with you." Mingcheng said.

When Mingcheng and Sakuragi Reiko were walking towards the back of the campus together, they walked through a tree-lined road outside the school library. Mingtai, who was bored with reading, was looking out of the window in a daze, "Isn't that Brother Ah Cheng? He even had a relationship with a girl?" Walking together?" Mingcheng stood up in surprise.

A girl next to her heard Mingtai's words, she also stood up, looked out, and muttered, "How come, Mr. Mingcheng is not Chinese, how could he be with a Japanese woman?"

The girl spoke French, but Mingtai could still hear it quite clearly, and asked in French, "Is that girl Japanese?"

In the small woods behind the campus, there were indeed some Chinese students studying abroad, there were more than a dozen of them, male and female.The appearance of Mingcheng and Lingzi together was somewhat unexpected.

Mingcheng asked: "You called Lingzi, what's the matter?"

"She's not our classmate, she's Japanese!" said one of the leading male students, "The Japanese are invading our country, we want to show her some color."

"Yes, yes, give her some color."

"Mr. Ming, don't protect her, she is Japanese!"

The classmates yelled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lingzi hid behind Mingcheng in fright, trembling.

"Show the Japanese some color, I have no objection." Mingcheng stood there with a stern tone: "But, that was on the battlefield, not on the playground, not on our campus."

"The war of resistance does not distinguish between regions." A female student shouted in disbelief.

Mingcheng took a look at her, she was also a girl with delicate features, she seemed to be about the same age as Lingzi.

"The Japanese are all beasts, so she must be something bad." Another male student also shouted.

"I think you are referring to the Japanese who launched the war of aggression. They are the beasts. However, there are also many people who oppose the war and aggression in Japan."

Mingcheng calmly said: "Besides, I don't think that beating up a Japanese girl who also came to study in the French campus will have any good effect on our war against Japan."

"I'm sorry." Reiko bowed again: "But, I've never been to China, I just came to France to study painting, I can swear to you, I, Sakuragi Reiko, will never hurt Chinese people, forever Won't."

"Flute!" Two policemen ran over blowing their whistles.

Everyone was nervous.

Mingcheng greeted the two policemen in French, identified himself, and assured them that this was just a campus seminar, and there was nothing to be nervous about.

Of course, the two policemen didn't want to be troublesome, so they asked Mingcheng to take the students back quickly.

Mingcheng said: "If you really want to make some contributions to the country, you should study hard. There are many places for the country to employ people, and there are many ways to serve the country during the War of Resistance. But, don't make trouble on campus. You are all high hopes of your family. , Don’t do things that you will regret later because of impulsiveness.”

After Mingcheng finished speaking, he left with Lingzi.He didn't notice that Lingzi's eyes turned from gratitude to love when he looked at him.
