"What? What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
he asked, leaning his head forward.
Wang Xilou looked at the mask expressionlessly and stretched out his white hands to push his face away.
"Watch a show."
"oh."
The two of them sat in front of the stage and watched the opening ceremony. There were many guests at every table under the stage.
They come here not only to watch a show, but also to talk and laugh, watch the show on stage, and talk to people around them off stage, in twos and threes, and rarely come alone.
Wang Xilou also liked to watch theater in the past, but when watching the theater, he entered the world of the play from the perspective of a bystander, and began to think about the stories in the play.
When I regain my senses, the drama on stage is over, but the drama off stage will continue.
The crowd was bustling, talking and laughing.
She was still in the play alone, but she had to leave.
If we go, where can we go?
"Let's go back."
He stood up and saw that she was still sitting stupidly in her seat, so he went up and took her hand. Wang Xilou looked up at him blankly for a long time.
"unreasonable."
"What's wrong?" He responded subconsciously.
"I said you are really unreasonable. You don't have any control over the girl's family."
"Um, that's it."
Subconsciously, I thought the little zombie called me, but now I think about it, I didn't even tell her her name, but she obviously told me her name.
But if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask, acting as if everything had nothing to do with her.
The two of them were walking back, the thin girl wearing a bamboo hat and gauze, and the short-haired man wearing a green ghost mask.
Wang Xilou walked quietly, looking at the man's back, still unable to guess what he was thinking.
The other party kicked a stone all the way and almost knocked it home.
go home……
"Can you sing?" the masked man suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask this?"
"You have a nice voice, and you should be able to sing pretty well too."
"The little girl has little talent and little knowledge."
"Go and learn. I want to hear you sing."
"Are you serious that I will obey you no matter what you say?"
Feng Wuli smiled, and Wang Xilou frowned.
She subconsciously felt that there must be a sinister and cunning face underneath that mask.
"I really want to take off your mask so that I can see what kind of skinny face you are that dare not show off to others."
He who was walking in front suddenly stopped and pretended to be sad, "It's not enough for outsiders."
The more Wang Xilou thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he reached out and pushed him away.
"Why did you push me?"
"It's blocking my way."
There is an additional flower seller in the town. What is a bit strange is that both of them never show their faces.
After all, you can't make much money selling flowers, but it's not like the two of them have other livelihoods.
The young lady has a delicate face under the gauze, and her outline looks like a fairy, but she is not good at communicating with others, which makes her look cold.
But the man in the green ghost mask is actually quite gentle and kind. When he has nothing to do, he just chats and jokes with the neighbors.
Especially as the weather gets hotter and hotter, more and more people come out to cool off at night. The summer evening breeze blows in, and the barking of children and dogs can be heard far away. After the cicadas have taken a break, there are frogs croaking again.
Today, Yang Baotou is getting married, and he has invited Feng Wuli to have a wedding banquet. The neighborhood has become very lively, with lanterns and colorful decorations, red paper and gongs and drums beating.
The noise reached several streets away.
Feng Wuli took Wang Xilou with him to congratulate him.
A newlywed couple got married in front of everyone's witness.
However, they saw that Yang Captou was toasting and getting very drunk. When Feng Wuli came to their table, he kept talking and then dragged Feng Wuli over to drink.
Feng Wuli was not at ease with Wang Xilou alone.
"Is it okay if you sit here?"
"I'm not a three-year-old."
Although he said this, Wang Xilou did feel a little uncomfortable after sitting around with semi-acquaintances who had not spoken a few words but had met him many times.
After looking at the masked man walking with the groom, he saw that this man really left him here alone.
The people at the table looked at this fairy-like little lady, looked at each other, and then tentatively talked to her.
"Where is Sister Wang from?"
Wang Xilou was a little panicked at first, but when he saw the cautious and probing tone of the other party, he suddenly became convinced.
In the evening, when the wine was gone and everyone dispersed, Feng Wuli drank until he was full of alcohol and drunk.
Wang Xilou helped him go back. The moonlight illuminated the road, and their shadows overlapped.
"Who told you to drink so much?"
"Captain Yang said that if you don't drink, you won't give him face."
"Next time you drink so much, I won't care about you."
Feng Wuli just smiled, "You will definitely still take care of me."
Wang Xilou was angry, sighed, and asked: "What, how can I get along with them naturally like you?"
"With whom?"
"Captain Yang, Miss Jiang, Fushang Liu, and the people in the neighborhood, those old people, those young people."
"oh."
He thought for a while, tried to wait for himself to wake up, and said:
"You have a zombie face all day long, so it's hard to get along with others. You should smile more. Don't be cold all the time. Your smile should be gentle."
She laughed at herself: "When I smile...will it be gentle? It will actually make you think that I am a gentle person."
He suddenly stopped talking and seemed to be asleep. This man was quiet after falling asleep.
inexplicable person;
What an enemy.
Wang Xilou sighed, changed his position, and carried him on his back.
Carry it all the way back.
Deadly.
The next day, she no longer wore the hat. She didn't know if it was Feng Wuli's illusion, but she always felt that the cold aura of this guy was much weaker than before.
"Would you like some sobering tea?" She actually asked with a smile.
Feng Wuli was fascinated for a moment. Wang Xilou felt that this guy was looking at him naked, and he was a little embarrassed, so he heard the masked man say quickly:
"No, I didn't drink much last night, but I was a little overpowered. I felt dizzy after drinking a little."
At the end, he added: "It looks so beautiful when you smile. Smile more in the future..."
A water ladle was thrown over and knocked him out.
You can't make much money selling flowers.
So Feng Wuli would go to the city to find some casual jobs during the day, and would occasionally fill in the gaps when Yang Captou was looking for a strongman.
Really having no money again, the two of them went to Si Tianjian to take on a task.
Sometimes Feng Wuli goes, sometimes Wang Xilou goes.
The cold Wang Xilou gradually became less cold, and she would laugh occasionally. She would laugh unreasonably. Wang Xilou asked him why he was laughing, and he asked Wang Xilou why he was laughing. It was really annoying.
On the summer solstice in July, it rained non-stop.
Wang Xilou also gradually stopped smiling.
After the man finished his work outside, he came back from outside carrying a piece of salted duck.
She put down the needlework in her hands, originally thinking of making autumn clothes for the two of them.
"Have you not found that person yet?" she asked with a cold face.
