"Special days deserve special gifts." Shen Zhifeng opened his briefcase, took out a brocade box, and gently placed it next to Xu Wenxiu's hand.
"What is this?" Xu Wenxiu asked.
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said, "See for yourself."
In the brocade box is a pearl necklace. Under the light, it looks especially graceful and luxurious, looking radiant and sparkling.
"So beautiful..." Xu Wenxiu caressed the pearl necklace and whispered involuntarily.
"Like it?"
"like."
"Looks like Chanel was right."
"What?"
"Chanel once said that a woman without pearls cannot be called a woman."
"Who is Chanel?"
"she is……"
Before Shen Zhifeng could finish his words, two American soldiers happened to pass by the table. One of them, Pearson, who smelled of alcohol, stopped and said with a big tongue: "Hello, Chief Shen, we meet again. .”
Then he looked at Xu Wenxiu again, and said with a smile: "Is this beautiful lady the new girlfriend of Chief Shen?"
Shen Zhifeng's face darkened: "Please leave immediately and don't disturb us."
"Wow, what a beautiful necklace. Can I take a look?" Taking advantage of the wine to strengthen his courage, Pearson reached for the pearl necklace.
Shen Zhifeng picked up the wine glass at hand, raised his hand and poured half the glass of wine into Pearson's face.
Pearson was caught off guard and was poured all over his head and face. He glared at Shen Zhifeng angrily and shouted in English: "Damn it, you wet my clothes!"
Shen Zhifeng replied coldly: "Get out!"
Pearson did not dare to be too presumptuous. He and his companions returned to their tables angrily, wiping the wine on their faces with a napkin while glaring at Shen Zhifeng fiercely.
Shen Zhifeng said: "The dishes haven't been served yet, why are you leaving?"
"But, that person just now..."
"It doesn't matter. He doesn't dare to do anything. Don't let a scoundrel ruin our good mood. Come on, Wenxiu, I'll put it on for you."
Shen Zhifeng stood up, walked around behind Xu Wenxiu, and helped her put on the pearl necklace with his own hands.
Shen Xue, who was standing outside the window, saw this scene and felt as if something was blocked in her throat. She stood blankly for a long time, and finally turned around and left silently.
Others' flowers have nothing to do with themselves.
Being thrown a glass of wine by Shen Zhifeng in public, Pearson also felt that his face was dull and there was no point in staying any longer, so he said to his companion: "Pritchard, let's go to Paramount to dance."
Pritchard was just a corporal, so he naturally followed Pearson's arrangements in everything. Moreover, today was Christmas, which was originally a carnival night.
Coming out of the western restaurant, Pearson looked around with his evil eyes. He stared at women, especially those young and beautiful women.
Seeing Shen Xue walking past the door with a gloomy expression, Pearson's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly followed. Pritchard followed closely behind and said repeatedly: "Pearson, Pearson, you have to go." where?"
Pearson chuckled and said: "There is a sad girl here, let's go comfort her..."
…………
An hour ago.
No. 7, Yunhe Street North.
Jiang Xinyu and Tong Tong stood on one side of the sofa, one on the other side, one holding a newspaper and the other holding a movie magazine.
Little Button ran in in a panic and said repeatedly: "Miss, it's broken, it's broken..."
Tong Tong didn't even raise his head, and said in a manly voice: "I'm not broken, the little button is broken."
"Miss, this is what I'm talking about." In the wet hands of the little button, there were two coupons for the military club.
"Where did it come from?"
"I found it in Mr. Jiang's pocket when he was doing laundry just now."
"Before washing, why don't you check if there is anything in your pocket?"
"I forgot……"
"If you have a bad memory, you can be very forgetful!"
The paper quality of this kind of hospitality coupon is very good. Even if it is soaked in water, the appearance is not greatly affected, and it can still be seen that it is a hospitality coupon from a military club.
"Who gave you the coupon?" Tong Tong turned to Jiang Xinyu and asked.
Jiang Xinyu put down the newspaper and recalled for a moment: "Oh, I didn't take the benefits paid out by the station seriously at the time and just put them in my pocket."
"Xinyu, do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?"
"Stupid, I don't even know this, it's Christmas."
"Do you believe in Jidu?"
Tongtong shook his head.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Well, let's not get married. Christmas is a traditional Western festival and has nothing to do with us."
"When I was in Chongqing, every Christmas, my father would take me to a dance held by the embassy. It was very lively. My father said that foreigners celebrate Christmas just like we celebrate the Spring Festival."
"Roughly the same."
"Xinyu..."
"What?"
"It's rare that Rongrong went to bed early today, why don't you go out with me for a walk?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"You agreed?"
"accepted."
"Wait for me, I'll go change clothes!"
Tong Tong jumped up from the sofa excitedly and walked quickly towards the stairs. Suddenly she remembered that Tong Tong was sleeping, so she quickly slowed down her steps and walked slowly upstairs.
"Have you decided where to go?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
"Isn't this free? Just go to the military club." Tong Tong reached out and picked up the two hospitality coupons.
"What's in the military club?"
"Haven't you been there?"
“Never been there once.”
"Really or not? Rongrong and I have been there three times..."
On the way, seeing Tong Tong looking restless, Jiang Xinyu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing... Xinyu, if Rongrong wakes up suddenly, what should I do?"
"It's okay, there are small buttons."
"oh……"
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into Tongzeli and slowly stopped in front of the military club.
"Xinyu, hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door of the dance hall." Tong Tong rushed out of the car and walked in quickly.
Jiang Xinyu locked the car door and walked up the steps slowly. Before he could reach the door of the ballroom, he heard Tong Tong's high-octave quarrel.
"Why are you not allowed in? Isn't this a coupon for a military club?"
"Our hospitality coupons are true, but your hospitality coupons are stained with water..."
"What's wrong with getting wet? It's not rotten."
"Miss, the reception ticket is only valid if it has an official seal. You can't see it clearly...so, I'm sorry."
The reception ticket originally had an official seal on it, but it was blurred by water. Of course, the waiter at the door refused to let Tong Tong in. In this case, he had to pay for the ticket himself.
Jiang Xinyu didn't pay attention to the official seal. He didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't even know what was written on the invitation ticket, and there was nothing he could do if he encountered such a thing.
"Tong Tong, forget it, let's buy a ticket and go in." Jiang Xinyu took out his wallet from his arms and prepared to pay for the ticket.
Tong Tong refused to say anything and pulled Jiang Xinyu out.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Where to go?"
Tong Tong smiled mysteriously: "Last time I brought Rongrong here to play. After walking around the area, I found a window on the east side, which is the toilet of the dance hall..."
"You mean, let's jump in from the toilet?"
"Yes, we clearly have hospitality coupons, why are they not allowed in?"
"Tong Tong, stop making trouble and buy a ticket to go in."
"Why?"
"In order to evade the fare, the dignified colonel climbed through the window with his female companion. If this spreads out, the impact will be very bad."
"I'm not afraid of a woman, so what are you afraid of? Besides, it's very remote over there and no one can see it..."
