Chapter 1

His slender fingers gently rubbed the emerald white jade pipe for a moment, then threw it on the bed.

The woman yawned, stood up slowly, and walked to the washbasin.

I turned on the faucet and fiddled with it gently. My eyes were lazy and blurred, and my body was like a noodle with no energy.

There was movement behind me.

The woman saw the coming man in the mirror.

"How did you come?"

She smiled lazily and was charming.

"Just in time, come and help me choose a cheongsam, today..."

Before he finished speaking, the expression in the mirror turned to horror!

"What did you do——"

The scream that was about to come out was immediately blocked in her throat. She struggled and twisted desperately to grab the other person's hand. The usually well-maintained koudan broke due to the force of pinching, and blood flowed from the gap. It was impossible to tell whose wound it was.

However, this can only lead to an even more vicious response from the other party.

The woman subconsciously opened her mouth!

She couldn't breathe even a little bit of the air she was eager to take in, which actually accelerated the process of her own death.

Her face, which usually could make a man swoon with a smile, was now twisted and ferocious, veins popped out on her forehead, and her eyes rolled upward little by little. When the sky was dark and the earth was dark, a fleeting thought made her suddenly realize that the clothes that were holding her neck were...

It was the pajamas and robe that I had just thrown on the bed.

After she bought that silk robe last month, she liked it very much and wore it often.

The slippers were kicked off and the body was dragged towards the bedroom, leaving two wet marks on the floor with his bare feet.

The person who was choking her didn't have any sympathy for her. Seeing that she still had the strength to struggle, he added a little more force.

For a dying person, life is shortened in minutes and seconds.

Gradually, her legs stopped moving.

Xiang Chu collapsed on the bed, but her almond-shaped eyes were still wide open, staring straight at the ceiling.

Don't die with peace of mind.

…

Yaqi played with the cosmetics on her table with great interest.

She hesitated for a long time between the two brands of cream, Shuangmei and Sunsilk, and finally couldn't help but choose the newly bought Sunsilk.

The newly packaged bottle was a little astringent when it was unscrewed, but the fragrant aroma on her face quickly wiped away her last traces of reluctance.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yaqi's mood brightened.

To her, it was just an ordinary night among thousands of nights.

But this night, subtle changes occurred due to the arrival of a person.

"Yaqi, Master Ling is here and wants to see you!"

Yaqi turned back quickly, then quickly turned around and grabbed the unopened Danqi lipstick that was farthest away from her.

Open, twist, and color carefully in front of the mirror.

This is a foreign product she recently bought from Yong'an Department Store, and she didn't want to use it for several days.

The senior classmate at the back approached with a smile.

"Are you so happy to hear Master Ling coming over?"

Yaqi glanced at the mirror and said, "I see you are happier than me, and you are grinning almost to your ears!"

The boss said: "Young Master Ling is handsome, he talks nicely, and he can coax people. Who doesn't like him? Unfortunately, he is still a little worse than a real rich young master, but such a handsome face is enough. I don't know if he will buy it tonight."

If your outing boy were ten or twenty years younger, I would rather go out with him than go out with him!"

Yaqi curled her lips and said nothing, just looking at herself in the mirror.

The flaming red lips create a beautiful face with exquisite makeup.

Young Master Ling should have noticed something different about her tonight, right?

While he was talking, the supervisor caught a glimpse of the timid young girl next to him.

"What are you doing here in a daze? Go out with me. Young Master Ling also brought his friends over. It's just right!"

The young girl's name is Rose. She just applied for a job as a dancer at Feileng Cui a few days ago. She doesn't know the rules yet and hasn't seen many scenes.

"Who is Mr. Ling? Are you a regular here?" she asked curiously.

The three of them walked through the glittering corridor, their high heels tapping out a crisp rhythm on the floor.

Yaqi was not interested in answering, so Taipan replied: "Follow me quickly!"

Rose had no choice but to sigh and try to adapt to the discomfort caused by high heels.

Her family was originally relatively well-off, and she was studying in middle school. A few years ago, her father died of a sudden illness, and the family lost its backbone. The sky collapsed overnight. In order to support her younger brother in school, Rose had no choice but to come to work in Feilengcui.

Dance hall leaders have seen many people who have experienced this kind of thing.

In this era, the most indispensable thing is Piaoping who can't help himself.

At the very least, the income from being a dancer is pretty good.

Rose's half-Chinese and half-foreign name was also given to her by Taipan after she entered the dance hall, and it counts as her stage name.

In the huge Shanghai Beach, Fei Leng Cui cannot compare with dance venues such as Paramount, Xianle Dance Palace, Metropolis, and Vienna, but it is still relatively famous, and welcomes all comers, and caters to a wider class of guests.

Unlike places like Paramount, those who enter are either rich or expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

If Rose is willing to work hard, it will be more than enough for her brother to go to school in one month, and there may be a lot of money left over.

Rose soon met Mr. Ling, whom the top class described as "handsome and good at talking".

The other party was wearing a gray and black suit and had a haircut similar to that of many young people nowadays, but without hair oil, it was fluffy and refreshing.

The dressing up is nothing out of the ordinary.

Rose has seen the noble man dressed in luxurious clothes, and also seen the peacock who is even more ostentatious.

But for the first time, she knew that if a person is good-looking enough, it doesn't matter what he wears, because he can make ordinary clothes look extraordinary.

There are many people in the world who rely on their clothes, but there are only a few people like Mr. Ling who rely on their clothes.

"Master Ling!"

Rose saw Yaqi flying over like a happy bird, and her high heels actually felt light under her feet.

There was a lazy smile on Mr. Ling's face: "Yaqi, you used new lipstick? You look prettier than the last time I saw you!"

As expected, Yaqi was surprised and happy: "Did you find out?"

Mr. Ling: "I saw it from all the way away, the flaming red lips, the fragrance arrived before the people arrived."

Yaqi said happily: "This is the new color of Danqi lipstick. It is only available in limited quantities at Yong'an Department Store in Shanghai. I asked someone to queue up for a long time and almost couldn't buy it!"

She walked over and hugged Mr. Ling's arm and started chattering.

Rose was pushed by the supervisor towards the young man next to Mr. Ling.

I come to the dance hall just to dance.

Under the melody of the music, Rose felt a little embarrassed and reserved, accompanying the other party in a slightly clumsy dance step.

Dancing quickly brought the distance between the two parties closer. She learned from the young man that Ling Shao's full name was Ling Shu, and he was actually a policeman from Jiangwan District Police Station. The man dancing with her was called Cheng Si, a colleague of Ling Shu.

and friends.

Cheng Si also has a decent appearance, but when he is with Ling Shu, there is still a contrast between the moonlight and the starlight.

Rose's eyes couldn't help but chase that figure again under the lights of the dance floor.

Ling Shu dances very well.

The dance steps are brisk and vigorous.

The strands of hair that were not oiled jumped slightly as she moved.

A moment at a time, just like Rose's beating girl's heart.

She lowered her gaze to the corner of the other person's eyes.

The stream of light pulled out a trace of flying, and instantly exploded the mark on the chest, and the cinnabar peach blossoms were bright and eye-catching.

"It's different when people are good-looking, and there are dancers who tip me!"

Cheng Si's muttering came to my ears.

Rose took a closer look and saw Yaqi putting a small wrapped handkerchief into Lingshu's hand.

These days, dance halls are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and the guests who go to the dance hall are also divided into three classes, but no matter how stingy the guest is, he still has to open a bottle of wine for the dancer and spend a small tip.

Those who spend a lot of money may spend a lot of money to take dancers out on the streets, or even book hotel rooms all year round, buy apartments, and hide their beauty in a golden house.

However, this was the first time for Rose to see a dancer leaning against a customer.

The mood that should have been shocked quietly calmed down when he saw Ling Shu.
