Chapter 22 Wontons

As the prosperous moment of Paramount came, Qi Shi chose a corner to sit down as usual, and watched Manli like the butterflies moving in the field, his eyes followed her back and forth...

When Manli went to the clothing room, Qi Shi took back his eyes. Suddenly, someone sat down next to him. It was Hong San! Qi Shi felt a little embarrassed: "Why are you here?"

"What, there is no regulation here that women cannot come." Hong San said: "It's just that there are more men."

"Is there no place else?" Qi Shi said angrily.

"Yes, yes, but I just like to sit here." Hong San said: "I am the thorn in your eyes. The more uncomfortable you feel, the more I will pierce your eyes."

When Qi Shi saw Manli coming out, he glanced at her. He felt anxious and reached out and pushed Hong San: "If you have nothing to do, leave quickly."

Hong San said "yo": "There are so many men who like Manli, bankers, industrialists, officials, who are you? Such women will only play tricks. I, just sit here and watch."

"I said..." Qi Shi smirked, looked at Hong San and said, "Why are you so sour? Are you jealous of others being more beautiful than you?"

"I am jealous of her? I think she is pitiful." Hong San's voice suddenly became low: "No one knows what the final result of a woman in such a place. Maybe she can marry a good man and quit Fengchen, or she may fall all the way and die well in the end."

Qi Shi was stunned. Hong San glanced around the corner of his eyes and found the target person. He suddenly stood up: "I'm leaving."

Hong San followed the thin man, Qi Shi suddenly realized that Hong San was not here to be a pastimer, but to find the guy who sold intelligence - Xu Fengnian. Wei Shijie was unwilling to communicate with them, so they came to find the person who sold intelligence to Wei Shijie. The Hongmen and the Kong family were in the same group. Wei Shijie fought alone. Now it was lively. Two groups of people were going to fight to the death. Qi Shi smiled so hard that he showed his big white teeth. Who doesn't like watching the fun?

Because of Manli's words, Qi Shi felt that time had passed too slowly for the first time. When he was about to end, he left early and chose a hidden spot at the back door to wait. His heart was so excited that he thumped. The dancers who had finished their work came out of the back door, and some walked while telling the generous or rudeness of the guests they met today. Thinking that Manli would continue to work here, Qi Shi's heart ached faintly. Hong San's words actually hit the nail on Qi Shi's mind. If Manli came out from here today to meet him, he must ask her if she would like to live with him. The money she earned was enough to support her!

Qi Shi's face became hot, and he sniffed his hands in the wind. If he did this today, he would have no regrets in his life!

Manli has not come out for a long time, and Qi Shi's heart has begun to sink. Could it be that she uses her own entertainment?

"Qi Shi."

As soon as Qi Shi looked up, he saw Manli. His mouth opened slightly. Manli still held a cigarette in his hand. The cigarette was not lit. She just put it in her hand and occasionally put it under her nose to smell it: "Why, don't you recognize it anymore?"

In front of her, Manli changed into a simple blue cheongsam, which was very simple. She had no jewelry on her body and her hair was draped behind her head. She just wiped her lips, but she still looked very beautiful. If she took off the cigarette in her hand, the smell of dust would be completely removed, and Qi Shi stuttered when he spoke: "You, you, what's the matter with me?"

"I'm hungry, please have some wontons with me." Manli frowned.

There is a roadside stall near Paramount. The old couple specializes in the middle of the night business, hand-wrapped wontons and delicious soup. Every time Qi Shi comes to Paramount, he will go there to eat a bowl. Qi Shi and Manli sit by the simple small table. He has a strange feeling: "Why?"

Manli said casually: "I'm hungry."

"I mean, why is it me?" Qi Shi swallowed his saliva, not because the wontons were too fragrant, but because the beauty was next to him.

Manli's eyes became deep and long. She looked at the deserted streets now and talked to herself: "The bustle always comes and goes quickly. Look, the bustling streets just now are not many people."

Seeing that she answered the question irrelevantly, Qi Shi did not have the courage to ask again. The eldest brother was right and he just slept on the lion.

"If I could choose, I would choose to go home at sunset." Manli suddenly sneered, staring at Qi Shi's eyes tightly: "Do you like me?"

Qi Shiran nodded embarrassedly, and Manli's eyes became blurred: "If I were an ordinary woman, I would definitely marry you. You are a person who would treat my wife very well."

"Marry me and be an ordinary woman." Qi Shi seized the opportunity: "Manli, I know it is abrupt to say this. I am not a banker, an industrialist, and not an official. As long as you are willing, I will be nice to you all my life."

There seemed to be stars flashing in Manli's eyes. Before she could answer, Qi Shi heard the laughter. When she turned around, she saw Hong San and Xie Qi walking towards another road. Hong San was pulling Xie Qi and saying something, and even looked back at herself. Qi Shi cursed in her heart. This is really a narrow road for enemies!
