Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 58 The Phoenix Theater

Jin Lin, Xu Qing and Mei Ning were on their way back when a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared in the sky. Although it was not bright at all, it made people feel a sense of hope.

"Brother Jinlin, I think the 'Manchu Banquet' you mentioned is not a product of the Qing Dynasty, but the famous 108 dishes of our hotel." Xu Qing said confidently.

"Xu Qing, you are so smart, what you said is absolutely right, it is the 108 dishes of our hotel." Jin Lin said very admiringly to Xu Qing.

"Brother Jinlin, it's impossible to prepare it in a while." Xu Qing said.

"I discussed it with Mr. Li before the Spring Festival, and had dinner with the employees. You went home at that time. I thought you would not come back for the Spring Festival, so I didn't tell you."

"Oh, that's right, but sister Meining, you will be disappointed." Xu Qing said with a smile.

"Xu Qing, I was just joking with you. Brother Jinlin already told me."

"Brother Jinlin, have you notified Sister Caining?" Xu Qing asked.

"No." Jin Lin said feeling extremely depressed and disappointed.

At this time, Jinlin's mobile phone rang, and he parked the car on the side of the road. Then, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Caining's call. He felt that this was the greatest surprise on the first day of the Spring Festival, and he was very happy. Pressed the green answer button and greeted sincerely: "Caining, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy Spring Festival, Jinlin."

Jinlin felt that Caining's voice was very sad, as if he was not at home. He asked with great concern: "Caining, what's the matter with you? Where are you? I will pick you up now, and we will have lunch together."

"Jinlin, no need, on this beautiful day, I just want to listen to your voice and bring you my blessing."

"Caining, where are you? I want to see you now, please agree to my request." Jin Lin said with special concern.

"Jinlin, maybe I shouldn't disturb your happy mood, but my selfishness makes me so lonely and sad, only your kind voice can save them, so I can't take care of everything now, I especially want to call you Call, you don't have to come to me, don't worry, I will face every day with strength." After Caining finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Faced with Cai Ning suddenly hanging up the phone, Jin Lin was full of worry and worry, he said to Mei Ning and Xu Qing:

"Meining, Xu Qing, I'll take you to Jinxiu Hotel now, and then I'll go find Caining, she's not at home."

"Brother Jinlin, let's go find Sister Caining together, I am also very worried about her." Mei Ning said with concern.

"Brother Jinlin, let's go together." Xu Qing also said.

"No need, Xu Qing, please explain to Mr. Li and the staff that I have something special at the moment and I cannot come to accompany you. I hope they will understand."

"Brother Jinlin, I know what to do, so don't worry." Xu Qing said.

"Brother Jinlin, you must pay attention to safety when driving." Mei Ning said with great concern.

"Don't worry."

Jin Lin sent Xu Qing and Mei Ning to the door of Jinxiu Hotel, and then returned to the Phoenix Theater. Sure enough, he met Cai Ning. He parked his car nearby and walked towards Cai Ning quickly.

When Cai Ning saw Jin Lin, her eyes were full of surprise: Jin Lin, you are still here.

"Caining, I miss you so much, especially on this day of reunion."

Cai Ning looked at Jin Lin sadly and said, "Jin Lin, how do you know I'm here?"

"We just heard crying in the Phoenix Theater. I can feel your voice, but I can't believe this feeling. When I answer your call, I hear that you are not at home, so I think you must will be here."

"Jinlin, I found out that I am hopelessly selfish, and I actually traded my selfishness for your worry." Caining said apologetically.

"Caining, you know, I heard your voice, it is the vibration and attraction of the soul, I think I have to see you, so I can feel at ease, thank you for calling me, let your heart lead me come."

"Jin Lin, thank you." Cai Ning said happily, looking into Jin Lin's eyes.

"Caining, do you know Lin Xiudie's story? That's why you come here to feel sad alone?"

"I know, and I know the truth of the matter better than you."

"Caining, when I told Meining and Xu Qing about this matter, did you hear it?"

"Yes, I heard that. I want to come to you, but I don't have the courage. I don't want to show my fragility in front of Mei Ning and Xu Qing. However, I was moved by her story and wept sadly. Then, I went to the alley where Lin Xiudie lived in her childhood, and felt her beautiful childhood."

"Caining, you must have seen Lin Xiudie's photo?"

"I have seen her picture and know her name, more than ten years ago."

"Caining, do you know Wang Xiaolou's real name?"

"I don't know, this is also a thing that has troubled me for many years. I very much hope that his name is the same as yours."

"Caining, why do you say that?"

"Because of how I feel."

"But Lin Xiudie and Long Zhenfang also have a relationship. Is it because you don't want to be with me because you also had such a sincere and pure relationship?"

"Jinlin, can I not answer your question?"

"Caining, you are telling me that you once had such a confidant." After hearing this, Jinlin was very worried that Caining would have such a friend that she could never forget, and he would be embarrassed.

"Jinlin, I didn't admit it."

"Caining, why are you not sure about what you said?" Jin Lin asked deeply.

"Jin Lin, that may be my sixth sense."

"Caining, can you tell me about your sixth sense now?"

"Jinlin, I can't tell you yet, but I can tell you a story."

Cai Ning said sadly:

There was a girl who was excellent in her studies. However, when she was in middle school, one day after returning home from school at noon, she overheard her stepfather telling her mother that it would be fine to let her finish high school in the future. We are relieved to get married early.

After she heard it, she braved the thick autumn rain and ran to the locust tree outside the Phoenix Theater, which was very close to her home, crying sadly, because all her ideals would come to naught, and all her hopes would also be shattered. Then she went to the Phoenix Theater and was surprised to find Lin Xiudie's photo, her real name, and a diary. After reading it, she felt that her life would be as unfortunate as Lin Xiudie's, but she didn't Give up and instead be strong in the hope that things will turn around.

However, her hopes were completely dashed with the end of her school days.

Later, her stepfather betrothed her to someone else for Qu Qu's 50 yuan, and arranged for her a funeral for her love.

On that day, her heart was ashamed and completely desperate, because her love and purity were worthlessly dedicated to a person she had never known or loved before. His rough and crazy appearance made her feel that she was in her own world. The darkness and terror of the world, she still sadly married him, breathed out the dirty breath, she felt like a slave girl, her fate was completely out of her desire thinking, this is how she repays She received the nurturing grace of her stepfather, but she is still strong and has not given up. She expects her hope to be reborn.

After Jin Lin heard this, he understood completely, and he was filled with sorrow, and hugged Cai Ning tightly: "Cai Ning, I didn't expect you to have such a miserable life experience, but my richness can't save you in time. "

"Jinlin, I don't need your pity. I am very happy now, just because I met you and mine..." Cai Ning was halfway through speaking, her eyes were confused, and she didn't continue.

"Caining, why didn't you tell the truth? Do you have something to hide?"

"I'm worried that my feeling is wrong, don't you also have this vague feeling?"

"Then when we met, couldn't the immortal eyes prove our feelings?"

"Jinlin, but what if it's just the attraction of us looking at each other?"

"Cai Ning, then there is true love between us, and now it is even better than the world of the so-called sixth sense."

"Jinlin, but this is a contradiction after all."

Jinlin didn't want to continue this unresolved issue with Caining, so he changed the subject and said:

"Cai Ning, the crying that Mei Ning and Xu Qing heard in their childhood came from you."

"Yes, because I feel that I will have the same fate as Lin Xiudie, because her name and appearance are the same as mine, and her eyes are full of strength."

"Caining, can you read her eyes?"

"It's my feeling." Caining continued:
"Jin Lin, the stories you heard are just legends. Long Zhenfang never had a confidant with Lin Xiudie, nor did they spend time together. The only person who knows and loves her is Wang Xiaolou. People don't fall in love at first sight when performing "Farewell My Concubine", but after Lin Xiudie bandaged the cub, she met Wang Xiaolou, and the two fell in love with each other.

Wang Xiaolou also liked Peking Opera very much, so he learned Peking Opera from Lin Xiudie's father.

After losing her purity, Lin Xiudie didn't commit suicide and splashed blood on the curtain, but she often went to cry on the dark stage of the theater in the middle of the night. People suspected that there were ghosts in the theater, so no one dared to live in the theater. One month later, the Phoenix Theater was deserted, and only she and Wang Xiaolou remained there.

Wu Decai did not die either, but his life was short. The story of the circus was even more illusory, but fabricated by the people. "

"So that's how it is. This is also a kind of love that people place on Lin Xiudie, a kind woman." Jin Lin said with great emotion.

"Yes, Jinlin, you are very correct."

"Caining, don't worry, I will prevent Lin Xiudie's tragedy from happening to you."

"Jinlin, your words reassure me."

"Caining, you haven't had lunch yet, how about we go to the Splendid Hotel together. Mr. Li and the staff appreciate you very much, and they really hope that we will get together."

"Jinlin, I won't go. You greet them for me. I am very grateful for their kindness. I am very sorry for delaying your lunch."

"Caining, we are together more than anything, thank you for making my Spring Festival feel so romantic, I will send your most sincere wishes to them."

"Jinlin, do you think we will come together?"

"Of course, because Lin Xiudie and Wang Xiaolou got together, didn't they?"

"Jinlin, for you, I will live bravely and happily. I will not leave her favorite early like Lin Xiudie."

"Caining, your strength allows me to treat and wait for every day with confidence."

"Jin Lin, you have to tell Mei Ning that I pretended not to know her that day, I didn't mean it."

"Caining, Meining understands your feelings very well."

"Jinlin, can you take me to East Wutong Road?"

"Okay, Caining." Jin Lin said firmly.
