Mahjong

Chapter 16

Xu Bicheng appeared at the door of Café Marseille in a rickshaw.She was wearing a slim cheongsam, even with a coat on, her curves were still unmistakable, and she was wearing a delicate top hat, looking very enchanting and charming.She looked around at the scene on the street. The street was bustling with people and trams were jingling past.Her expression was a little confused for a moment, which made her look even more elegant.

Chen Shen was sitting in the window seat of Marseille Cafe, he turned his head and looked out of the window, and he saw Xu Bicheng in the crowd at a glance.Looking at her confused expression, he couldn't help falling into memories again.

That was when Xu Bicheng was about to leave the Hanzhong special training class.Standing in a ginkgo forest, Chen Shen was playing the harmonica. The sound of the piano was melodious. It was the song "Tricycle".Xu Bicheng carried the box and walked not far behind him, watching his back from such a distance, but he didn't seem to notice.The golden ginkgo leaves were blown by the wind, falling down sporadically, and one piece just fell on his shoulder.Chen Shen, who was wearing a uniform, had a serious look on his face, and he looked quite heroic at the moment.She just stared at his back like that, holding the box in one hand, and walked slowly towards him, step by step behind him.She looked at the ginkgo leaf on his shoulder, and hugged Chen Shen from behind with her free hand.Chen Shen's harmonica stopped abruptly, and she recognized her slender hand as soon as she lowered her head.Xu Bicheng asked softly with hope: "Teacher, can you wait for me to come back?"

Chen Shen held the harmonica in one hand, and gradually lowered the other hand, trying to hold Xu Bicheng's hand on his waist, but stopped in mid-air, not daring to shake hands.His eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.Finally he plucked up the courage to hold her hand, warming her cold little hand in his palm.She lay on his back, almost weeping with joy.A gust of wind blew by, and large ginkgo leaves fluttered down, making this pair of lovers freeze into a pair of eternal sculptures.

Chen Shen sat on his seat, watching Xu Bicheng push the door and enter.When the door of the cafe was pushed open, it hit the wind chime on the lintel, making a crisp and light sound.Her eyes scanned the cafe, and soon she saw him.Chen Shen just smiled and looked at her implicitly, and there was a change in her eyes.She seemed to restrain her emotions before walking towards him pretending to be calm.

Chen Shen watched her walk gracefully, and the curly-haired intellectual woman in front of him seemed to have changed into the old shy girl with straight hair and innocent.Finally she walked up to him.He got up very naturally, looked at her, and said after a while, "Come?"

Xu Bicheng responded softly.Chen Shen pulled out the chair for her, put his hand on the back of the chair, and watched her sit down in front of him.When she sat down, Chen Shen could feel her hair brushing against his cheeks, carrying the faint scent of hairspray.

After sitting down, Xu Bicheng found that Chen Shen's hand hadn't left the back of his chair, and he was still standing behind him.She couldn't help turning her head slightly and asked, "You don't want to cut my hair again, do you?"

Chen Shen smiled, "Do you still remember? I thought you forgot."

Xu Bicheng didn't speak, but subconsciously crossed his fingers and said, "Yesterday... I just don't want my husband to..."

Chen Shen walked up to her and sat down, noticing that she didn't wear a ring on her finger, he smiled slightly, "I understand."

He looked out as if inadvertently, and saw a man in a suit and hat wandering furtively around the corner.In just a second, Chen Shen looked away, looked at Xu Bicheng and said with emotion: "We meet again."

Xu Bicheng smiled and said, "How have you been all these years?"

Chen Shen said a good word with a slightly exaggerated tone, and then asked: "It seems that you are doing well, when did you get married?"

Xu Bicheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.She remembered that before she and Tang Shanhai came to Shanghai, Tang Shanhai repeatedly emphasized to her that they got married on February 28, 25, and the matchmaker was her uncle.No matter who asks, can not answer wrong.

Xu Bicheng lowered his head and said reluctantly: "The 28th year of the Republic of China."

Chen Shen was taken aback, and said, "It was December 27 of the Republic of China when you left the Hanzhong special training class."

Xu Bicheng suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Shen, she said, "I've been back."

Chen Shen smiled, full of disappointment, "When I left, it was June of the 28th year of the Republic of China." He glanced at Xu Bicheng, then looked away and said, "Seeing that you married such a wishful man, I'm happy for you too."

Xu Bicheng was sad in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved when he looked at Chen Shen, but he couldn't even say a word in his heart.She murmured "teacher".Chen Shen stopped Xu Bicheng's next words. He said: "Yesterday you didn't recognize me as a teacher, and you should never recognize me from now on. I should have taught you that if you want to go to a place where there are intrigues, you must first learn to hide. Improve your edges and tail, and learn to survive. If you tell a lie, you need to tell more lies to round it up."

Xu Bicheng said in a low voice, "I have never been a good student. The grades of all subjects in the special training class are barely passable." Chen Shen smiled, "Our teachers and students have finally walked the same path. It seems It’s also fate.”

At this time, the wind chime at the door of the cafe rang again, and Li Xiaonan and Zhu Zhu walked in.Li Xiaonan saw Chen Shen at a glance, yelled "Chen Shen", walked over quickly on high heels, patted Chen Shen on the shoulder and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you came here? Oh, definitely You guessed that I would come over for dinner after filming today, so you waited for me here and wanted to give me a surprise, right?"

Chen Shen didn't answer Li Xiaonan, but glanced at Xu Bicheng, and Li Xiaonan discovered Xu Bicheng's existence.Xu Bicheng also looked at the carefree Li Xiaonan, this childish-looking girl had the same childish and innocent face as she did back then.

Li Xiaonan reluctantly turned his gaze to Xu Bicheng, "Is there a friend here? Who is she? Chen Shen."

Chen Shen used the simplest three words to introduce Xu Bicheng, he said: "New colleague, Xu Bicheng."

Li Xiaonan stretched out his hand, "Oh, hello, Ms. Xu, my name is Li Xiaonan, I work as an actor in the Star Film Company, and I am Chen Shen's girlfriend."

Xu Bicheng suddenly understood something, her expression was momentarily sad, but she immediately smiled at Li Xiaonan.It's just that Chen Shen didn't say anything, she had to stand up and shake hands with Li Xiaonan.Li Xiaonan, who was so innocent and scheming, made Xu Bicheng feel a little melancholy.She also saw Chen Shen's helplessness and doting towards Li Xiaonan, and felt a little envious for no reason.

After eating, Li Xiaonan returned to her own residence, and Xu Bicheng and Chen Shen also returned to the operation office in two rickshaws.When approaching the gate of the action team, Xu Bicheng stopped the rickshaw.She looked at Chen Shen with some embarrassment, "Can I go in first, and you go in later? I just don't want others to..."

Chen Shen smiled, got out of the car to pay and said, "Understood, I'll take a few steps."

The rickshaw pulled Xu Bicheng forward again.Xu Bicheng looked sideways at Chen Shen until he disappeared from her sight, then turned her head to look forward, feeling sad for no reason in her heart.While Chen Shen was walking slowly on the street, his eyes kept looking at Xu Bicheng's back, and he kept watching her go away, feeling very melancholy in his heart.

Xu Bicheng got off the rickshaw and entered the operation office, walked quickly through the courtyard, and when he entered the office building, he happened to meet Tang Shanhai going downstairs.

At this time, Biantou walked past them, "Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang."

Tang Shanhai nodded, "Hi, don't know how to address it yet?"

Biantou chuckled and said, "Everyone calls me Biantou, and Chen Shen is my boss."

Chen Shen appeared at the gate of the action team at this time, and saw Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai standing together.He walked over as if nothing had happened, with a smirk still on his face.Biantou walked towards Chen Shen, "Boss, the boss asked me to find you, and told you to go to the interrogation room as soon as you came back."

Chen Shen turned around and wanted to leave, "I knew that nothing good would happen, so I just said I haven't come back yet."

Biantou grabbed Chen Shen, "Boss, this is not acceptable. Everyone has seen you come back, if you leave again, I won't be able to do business."

Chen Shen broke away from Biantou's hand and said, "Okay, I'll smoke a cigarette and go." After speaking, he wanted to kick Biantou, but Biantou flashed nimbly and ran away.

Chen Shen lit a cigarette for himself, and then walked towards the interrogation room.He paced slowly, thinking.Bi Zhongliang asked him to go to the interrogation room at this time, and he couldn't think of anything else besides interrogating Shen Qiuxia.And the sneaky man outside the Marseille Cafe today must have told Bi Zhongliang about his meeting with Xu Bicheng alone, but Li Xiaonan happened to also go to the Marseille Cafe later.

When Chen Shen walked to the door of the material warehouse, he seemed to smell something.Walking into the material warehouse, I saw secret agents Ada and Aqing roasting rat meat on the electric stove together. The smell of the rat made them salivate.Chen Shen pushed the door open, Ada and Aqing panicked, turned around and hid the rat meat behind them, standing side by side, trying to block the electric stove.

Chen Shen sniffed the scent and said, "The scent is already in the director's office, why don't you hide it?"

Ada said with a hippie smile, "Boss, don't scare me."

Chen Shen asked: "What game did you do again?"

Ada showed the meat skewer in his hand, "Rat meat, freshly peeled, it's fresh, boss, do you want a skewer too?"

Chen Shen dodged his disgust and said: "Stay away! You really dare to eat anything, are you not afraid that this mouse is killed by medicine?"

Ah Qing patted his chest, a little proud, "Don't be afraid, we captured them alive. Boss, have you ever tasted rat meat? It's much more delicious than those chicken, duck, and mutton meats. It's very fresh. I've liked eating it since I was a child... ..."

Chen Shen asked: "Caught it? How?"
