Ch26 - Singing the Greatest Show (3) — Boss Ye, Sing a Song?

He Changhuai acted considerate and calm, he seems to be a bit strong, but he also does not hide his qualities of being refined, gentle, and elegant. Su An has a bit of restrained fear towards him, but he was polite on the surface, and acted distantly. Unexpectedly, in the evening of the next day, Second Master He brought his friends to Yishui Building again.

The Yishui Building has two floors, the lounge and the lobby, with carved wooden railings, plus the fire pit, the theater is warm and bright. Li Lian is a regular customer here, so he skillfully led Second Master and the brothers of the Li family to the second floor, “The usual set.” 

They hadn’t sat down yet, when the fourth master of the Li family, Li Huang, had his eyes fixed on Hua Dan on the stage, “This Dan is beautiful.”

He Changhuai sat on the seat, looked out and didn’t see the actor on the stage, instead he saw Boss Ye sitting in the opposite private room.

The corner of his mouth hooked. And when he was about to take off his coat, he heard Li Lian whisper a warning: “Old four, are you going to play again, ah? It’s just after last winter, did you already forget the actor who threw himself into the lake to die?”

Li Huang shut his mouth, but his eyes still lingered on the stage, “Big brother, look at what you’re saying, this is someone under Boss Ye’s hand, how dare I.” 

He Changhuai let out a “oh“, as if sarcastic, “Fourth Young Master Li could still play with others to death?”

But his eyes were on the opposite side, watching Boss Ye’s every move.

Li Huang argued, “That actor is so weak, it’s not that I played with him to death, it’s that he just couldn’t play!”

Su An’s eyes watched six roads and his ears listened in all directions, and he was keenly aware of someone looking at him again from across the room. With a skillful glance at the corner of his eyes, he saw a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes.

His eyes were like wolves and tigers, and after knowing that he found out, he still handled the butcher's cleaver with ease and put on an act with a smile.

“…” Su An.

He had never heard that He Changhuai liked men, and when he first met this young master in the Li residence, it was obvious that he didn’t like watching operas. Now that he is behaving so oddly and strangely, has he really become a different person?

Su An turned sideways, avoiding the eyes on the other side. 

The singers on the stage sang in full swing. He Changhuai listened to it for a while, but only got sleepy.  He shook his head and sighed. He suddenly got up and put on his coat and hat, and with the wind, his long legs walked to the stairs with just a few steps.

Li Lina asked quickly: “Second Master, where are you going?!”

“It’s so boring,” Second Master He said out loud, “Young master, I’m going to find interesting people to play with.”

He went all the way down the stairs, from the back to the second floor of the opposite seat. 

Li Lian blankly followed his target and looked straight forward. When he saw Ye Su’an, he immediately cursed in his heart, Second Master He is looking for Boss Ye? What does this mean?

Su An couldn’t help laughing twice. Yu Qiong suddenly looked back at him, his face flushed and he hurriedly lowered his head, burying himself in his jacket.

“Do you like watching the play?” Su An asked with a smile. 

Yu Qiong said “Ah-ah” twice, then nodded heavily, then gestured to Hua Dan on the stage, and finally pointed to himself. Su An raised his eyes, and gently said, “Do you want to sing on stage?”

Yu Qiong nodded timidly.

In Ye Su’an’s life, he hated people who sang opera, but looked as if they did not have a choice, but he really liked people who genuinely liked to sing.

Su An’s expression softened, and he rubbed Yu Qiong’s hair. Yu Qiong was so ashamed, but he remained obedient, and even attached to Su An’s touch. 

This child’s hair has grown to his shoulders, and at first glance he thought he was an androgynous female child. Su An’s fatherly love was inspired, and smoothly pinched Yu Qiong’s cheeks.

Yu Qiong is also very beautiful, but he is still young. If Chu He is inside this childish and harmless shell…Su An shudders, and goosebumps can be seen appearing everywhere.

Forgive his weak imagination, he really can’t imagine it.

“Then I’m going to ask you a question,” Su An quickly returned to his senses and his delicate hand pointed at a distance, “Can you see how well this is being sung? 

He Changhuai stopped behind the pillar, listening to their conversation with great interest.

Yu Qiong hurriedly nodded, his eyes lip up, obviously thinking that it was excellent.

Su An gently shook his head and whispered, “Yu Qiong, take a look.”

After speaking, his eyes changed just like a different person. As soon as his eyes turned, his eyebrows were full of female fascination. The tip of his finger slightly raised, crispy with numbness, and with his fine teeth biting his red lips, thousands of feelings were also gently suppressed. Then his voice went from low to high, singing the line that was sung on the stage just now. 

He Changhuai was stunned for a moment, and his cigar fell straight to the ground.

This is the scene of Yang Yuhuan teasing Gao Lishi in “Drunken Concubine“. This opera has always been difficult to sing, and Hua Dan needs to have a very good singing voice and figure. When singing this opera, if you exert too much effort into it, it will look terribly unsightly. However, when Boss Ye’s voice came out, Yu Qiong was stunned. Only then did he know what it meant when Boss Ye shook his head. 

His eyes were brighter, and he wanted to make two “hehe” sounds from his throat, but only a rough and unpleasant voice came out. Su An brushed his forehead, “Don’t rush.”

Yu Qiong stopped sweating profusely, and nodded with blushing cheeks.

Su An smiled, “Go backstage and take a closer look.”

Yu Qiong hurriedly bowed to Su An and trotted down the stairs. 

Su An raised his hand and took the teacup, and someone pulled the chair next to him and sat down, “Boss Ye, it’s a coincidence, I met you again.”

“Second Master is joking,” Su An showed a surprised expression, and quickly poured a cup of tea for He Changhuai with a smile. The tea is thick and fragrant, and the mist steams around his plain white hands, “This is Yishui Building, it’s not a coincidence that you can see me here.”

He Changhuai only felt that he was speaking like he was singing a song. With a melodious tone, it was so clear that it seemed to be whispering into his ear, and he couldn’t help laughing twice, “Boss Ye, I want to apologize to you.”

Ye Su’an pushed the water in front of him, “Why do you say it?” 

He deliberately mobilized his best tone, his best movement, his wrist was soft, his skin was white, and from the corner of his eyes, he appeared to sweep over He Changhuai’s face.

He Changhuai was indeed a little moved by his seduction. Although his face did not express anything, his eyes darkened a little. Su An sneered internally several times, He Changhuai, who only likes women, was hooked so easily? He really doesn’t know if this person is faking his dislike of men, or if there’s another person under his skin.

But to say that hidden underneath that skin is Chu He, he did not feel like it. This dilemma made him unable to see the truth for a while.

Su An withdrew his hand and turned into the gentle and polite look of Boss Ye again, “Second Master?” 

“I told a few jokes about Boss Ye at the banquet yesterday. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have.” He Changhuai did not move, and put his coat and gentleman’s hat aside. “I heard that Boss Ye has a deep insight into opera, and it so happens that I, a person who never listens to opera, have some interest in it. For the sake of national heritage, Boss Ye might as well tell me about this play on the stage?”

Ye Su’an smiled and said: “Second Master is serious. Although you said you were interested in this play, I didn’t see you throw a lot of good luck.”

Second Master He spread out his brows, then casually took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, he casually straightened them, and then threw them directly on the stage. A thick pile of money scattered in front of Hua Dan‘s feet, causing a loud exclamation in the lobby.

The lower floor immediately became a mess, and the chaotic voices were so overwhelming that ‘s voice was almost inaudible. 

Su An immediately gave He Changhuai another look.

He Changhuai has his legs crossed, and has long been waiting for him to look. Immediately after being stared at, he felt good and laughed loudly and said downstairs: “To all the gentlemen, shut up and just watch the play. Don’t disturb Boss Ye’s tranquility. Whoever does it well, come to me and take a piece of silver yuan after the end. ”

As soon as he said this, they immediately cheered. After that, it really quieted down, but many pairs of eyes were already fixed on the second floor private seat. 

He Changhuai was also looking at Ye Su’an with a smile, while Ye Su’an looked at the people below with his eyebrows knitted, and in the end he sighed, “It’s a pity for this play.”

Now, a silver yuan can buy ten tickets, who still has the heart to look at the stage with a fake drunken combine on it?

“This show is not good,” He Changhuai said calmly, “The line that Boss Ye just delivered just now cause this He to yield. After listening to an immortal sound, how can one listen to the mortal sound again?”

Ye Su’an has heard many such flattering words, even if the person who said this is He Changhuai, he did not let him laugh a minute more, and only haughtily said thanks, maintaining the tone of the old artist. 

He Changhuai said directly: “I wonder if He will be lucky enough to hear Boss Ye sing “Drunken Concubine” in person?”

“I have already washed my hands gold,” Su An said softly, “Although Jincheng has few things, it has a lot of theaters. The famous actors are more impressive than those who have a voice as clear as a black-naped oriole. If Second Master likes this play, Multi-Treasure House has a list of performances scheduled for tomorrow. This play is their specialty, Second Master might as well go and watch it.”

For the first time He Changhuai was pushed out in his life. He smothered a laugh, then he thought for three seconds, and suddenly drew a gun from his waist and placed it in front of Ye Su’an, “Boss Ye, can you please open your mouth on this one?”

Su An looked at the gun in astonishment, and then suddenly looked at He Changhuai. 

He Changhuai smiled slightly and waited for his reply.

Su An: “…”

He was really pinched to the spot.

Ye Su’an, this person can have such a good relationship with Jiang Zhengrong, because Ye Su’an values ​​the connections Jiang Zhengrong has in his hands, and his status as the President of the Chamber of Commerce. He can pretend to be gentle and considerate for Jiang Zhengrong. But when He Changhuai, who is stronger and more beneficial to him, appears, Ye Su’an will certainly not refuse. 

But the original body and Su An both have a deep understanding of the truth, the harder it is to obtain, the more cherished it is.

So until now, the original body is also innocent. A clean and fresh theater owner.

The gun reflected the cold light, and Ye Su’an’s already pale complexion seemed to turn even whiter. He lowered his eyes to look at the gun on the table, in the end he closed his eyes tightly, and his lips were pale, “Since the Second Master has said so, let’s do it.”

It’s not as if he agreed because he wanted a gun, he agreed because he was frightened by it.
