Not The Sideburns I Know Chapter 43

Only five or six days after Yu Qing arrived in Beijing, Du Qi came back from France in a hurry. After getting off the train station, he didn't go home, but went straight to Shang's house. When he entered the yard, he pinched Xiao Lai's face and said, "Little girl! Long time no see! You have grown taller!" Xiao Lai actually changed her usual cold and stern attitude and smiled at him, "Master Qi is back! Boss Shang has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"

Du Qi nodded: "I know, I know. I received his letter in France. His handwriting is not as neat as when I left."

Xiaolai laughed and said, "Isn't it? He's busy singing opera every day! How can he have time to practice calligraphy?" He was either singing opera or hanging out with Ryan, which Xiaolai didn't say.

Xiaolai usually hates the dandies around Ervin, who are crazy about whoring and gambling, and treat actors as a funny thing. He praises him to the sky in front of others, but belittles him behind their backs, and is hypocritical. But he makes an exception for Du Qi, because he knows that they are indeed soulmates in opera. Although Du Qi's words and deeds are frivolous, he does not have such dirty thoughts about Ervin. He really likes opera. Like Ervin, he is obsessed with opera. He puts down the posture of a scholar and a young master, and regards himself as Ervin's colleague who shares honor and disgrace. Unlike Ryan. Xiaolai can see that Ryan does not really like opera, he only comes for Ervin. When watching others singing, Ryan always has a dispensable attitude of watching the fun.

Du Qi walked while loosening his tie and unbut.toning his suit, shouting, "Rui Ge'er! Come out quickly! I miss you so much!"
