"Next, Shen Junshan!"

Xie Tao couldn't help breathing quickly, the person in front of the line entered the door, and she was the next one. Even though I had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was still unavoidable to be a little nervous.

"Huh, calm down."

Xie Tao thought secretly in his heart.

"Next, Xie Liangchen!"

"arrive!"

Almost subconsciously, Xie Tao answered very loudly, and the other students waiting in the corridor looked at her in surprise. She quickly lowered her head, uncomfortably tugged at the short hair she had just cut, and walked quickly towards the infirmary holding her medical examination report.

With a "bang", Xie Tao collided with the person who came out, and the report slip was scattered all over the place.

"sorry."

Xie Tao quickly apologized.

Shen Junshan squatted down, picked up the report, and looked down at her.

The person in front of me is a head shorter than me, with fair skin and a thin body. The neck is so thin that it seems that it can be broken with a slight force. Nail polish, scraped off with a knife. In just a few years, the Agni Military Academy has collapsed like this, and even this kind of quality can pass the entrance examination

"thanks."

Xie Tao took the medical examination form, turned around and entered the infirmary.

"Name."

"Xie Liangchen."

"age."

"nineteen."

"Okay, take off your clothes and lie down on the bed."

The doctor wearing a mask stood up with a serious look on his face. He rolled up his cuffs, pointed at the bed beside him, and said.

Xie Tao didn't move at all, and smiled sarcastically: "Doctor, can you not take off your clothes? I'm a little embarrassed."

The doctor was obviously taken aback, and looked her up and down in surprise. He is not tall, and looks a little thin, but his eyebrows and eyes are very energetic. Wearing a brand-new small suit, he seems to be from a good family background.

"You are a big boy, what are you embarrassed about?"

Xie Tao rubbed his collar shyly: "I have never taken off my clothes in front of others."

"Don't talk nonsense." The doctor said impatiently, "Take off quickly and lie down."

"Doctor, please accommodate me."

Xie Tao stepped forward, grabbed the doctor's wrist without a trace, shook it, and begged pitifully.

"I think you don't want to pass, then go out and don't waste my time."

"Doctor..."

The doctor impatiently wanted to push Xie Tao's hand away, and pulled it back and forth. Suddenly, his wrist sank. He looked down, and a yellow-orange gold bracelet with the thickness of a little finger slipped from Xie Tao's wrist. in his hand.

The doctor was taken aback and looked at Xie Tao.

Xie Tao smiled awkwardly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth. She was careful, fawning and flattering, but also a little shy and shy: "Doctor, have I passed?"

In front of the city hospital, there are lush vegetation and few pedestrians, so it is very quiet. It seems that the turbulent current situation has also affected the business here, slowing down life, old age, sickness and death. Tan Xiaojun stood outside the door, biting her lip, pacing back and forth, waiting nervously.

Xie Tao ran out excitedly and patted Tan Xiaojun on the shoulder.

Tan Xiaojun's eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice like a thief, "How is it?"

Xie Tao nodded, and Tan Xiaojun yelled "Wow", and the pedestrians who came in and out couldn't help but look at them. Tan Xiaojun stuck out her tongue and forced her to suppress the disbelief.

"How did you do it?"

Xie Tao leaned over mysteriously, turned his back to the hospital gate, and quietly raised his sleeves. She saw more than a dozen "golden bracelets" shining brightly on her Bai Shengsheng's wrists.

"Wow, where did you get so much money?"

Xie Tao smiled and whispered, "Fake."

"Fake?" Xiaojun was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that they will find you later?"

"Come on, if they'll admit they're taking bribes."

Tan Xiaojun curled her lips, raised a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing."

Xie Tao took Tan Xiaojun's hand: "Let's go, go eat, I'm starving to death."

"No hurry, I'll take you somewhere."

"where?"

Tan Xiaojun smiled mysteriously: "Where men go, do you dare?"

Xie Tao didn't care much: "I dare to enter the men's bathhouse now."

"Blow you."

Tan Xiaojun chuckled lightly. A military vehicle passed by, and the vehicle was full of soldiers, wearing leggings, high boots, armed belts, and rifles. The car was driving very fast, kicking up dust all over the ground. The passers-by coughed twice, and then left separately. No one cared, and no one took a second look. Everyone seemed to be used to such a scene, accustomed to such a peaceful environment. With a trace of nervousness, some dangerous days are hidden in the tranquility.

No one felt that there was anything wrong, and the unfounded worries in the newspapers seemed far from life. Assassination, poisoning, assassination, that is the day of the big men.

But actually, it's not that far away.

Thinking about it carefully, in just a few years, the country has changed hands several times, the situation of the country has changed, the emperor has stepped down, the democratic republic, the warlords have fought, and the war has continued. Throughout the five thousand years of the country, such a lively situation is rarely seen. Heroes are like crucian carp crossing the river. All kinds of slogans, thoughts, and voices are dizzying. They all want to stand on the stage and make their own cry in this once-in-a-century opportunity.

This is an era of great ambition, and the seeds of crisis are planted. But it was also an impetuous and corrupt era, with seductive singing voices floating among the decaying pavilions. Just like this Palimo dance hall in front of you, it is rich and splendid, and anyone who sees it will not believe that there are still hungry refugees outside Shunyuan City. They are lying in the dark straw hut at the moment, waiting The clear rice soup issued by the government tomorrow morning.

Xie Tao was still wearing the men's clothing she wore when she went to the medical examination today, standing in front of Palimo's door, she couldn't help but think of her elder brother's words, she took a step back slightly.

"What are we doing here?"

"Bringing you to meet a friend."

Xie Tao was slightly taken aback: "Do you still have friends here?"

"Here, that's her." Tan Xiaojun pointed to the huge poster in front of her, a beautiful woman, wearing a blue-purple cheongsam, with a slender neck, white as jade, with a cigarette between her fingers, looking sideways, The winking eyes are like silk, seductive.

"Qu Manting is your friend?" The passing drinker asked incredulously.

Tan Xiaojun raised her chin: "Yes, how is it?"

The drinker sneered and went straight into the ballroom without answering.

"You!" Tan Xiaojun was impatient, and couldn't help but catch up to the first two steps, Xie Tao grabbed her.

"Okay, let's go in."

The door opened slowly, and a long red blanket was spread into the hall from the front door. A huge crystal chandelier adorned the ceiling and shone with silver light, and the light shone on the mirror-like ground. , Xie Tao actually had the illusion of stepping on the sky full of stars.

Xiaojun took her hand and walked all the way, passing through layers of waiters and finally stopped outside the ballroom.

In the magnificent hall, there is a grand stage in the middle, and a small semi-curved dance floor spreads around the stage like stars. A huge red curtain hung down, completely covering the entire stage. But the surrounding dance floor is full of excitement. A woman with a graceful figure is wearing a gorgeous cheongsam singing and dancing on the stage, her slim waist swaying like flowing water, and the ethereal and melodious singing is winding in mid-air. The tentacles of the bug scratched between the ears and temples.

Seats were scattered around the dance floor, and the guests sat in twos and threes, pushing and changing glasses, which was very lively.

Xie Tao glanced at the guests present. These people are all dressed up. The clothes are expensive and well-tailored. Men may wear suits or long gowns, while most women wear cheongsams. Few of them wear new-style western clothes. The figures seated in the front row are all celebrities from all walks of life in Shunyuan. From this point of view, the appeal of this actress is really extraordinary.

The singing and the human voice were mixed together, and she quickly felt uncomfortable, "Xiaojun, I'm going to the bathroom." Xie Tao turned up the volume and said into Tan Xiaojun's ear.

I asked the waiter, she squeezed through the crowd for a long time, and finally got to the second floor.

In the women's restroom on the second floor, the reporters searched for the missing star Qu Manting, who was sitting in the bathroom cubicle and puffing. The bright red nails made her jade hands even whiter. She picked up a cigarette butt and put it to her mouth. After a while, she slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Since returning to Shunyuan, there has never been a moment as quiet as it is now. Wherever she appears, reporters and flashing lights are always there, making people unable to relax for a moment. In particular, the affair between her and Shen Tingbai, the chairman of the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce, became a story that reporters rushed to report. No matter how she explained it, no one believed their innocent relationship.

Compared with the truth of the matter, people seem to be more willing to pay attention to the heat it brings.

The sound of the door being pushed open was not loud, but Qu Manting was slightly startled, such a decadent appearance was not suitable for being seen. She threw the cigarette butt in her hand into the toilet and flushed it away, then took out the perfume in her handbag and sprayed it on her body. Soon, the fragrant and fragrant perfume filled the entire toilet cubicle, even staining her clothes and hair. Dark fragrance.

He stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles on the wine-red cheongsam, and walked out of the compartment twisting his waist. A pair of butterflies embroidered with gold thread at the hem swayed with his steps, as if wanting to flutter their wings. The high-heeled shoes hit the floor, making a pleasant and crisp sound.

The delicate golden handbag was placed on the sink. Qu Manting casually glanced to the side, her eyes became sharper instantly, she turned around and folded her arms to stare at Xie Tao.

This gaze was too fierce, and Xie Tao couldn't pay attention to it. She asked with some doubts: "This lady..."

Before he finished speaking, a golden handbag was thrown towards the head, Xie Tao couldn't dodge for a while and was hit straight, he covered his head and looked at Qu Manting angrily: "Hey! How did you hit someone?" what?"

"Little hooligan! You didn't learn well at such a young age, and followed me? Have you grown all hairy, and you dare to chase female celebrities to the women's restroom?"

The figure of the woman in front of her is graceful and unparalleled, her harsh and sharp words don't quite match her delicate figure.

Xie Tao raised his head and wanted to argue with her, but suddenly saw himself in the mirror, wearing a standard men's small suit and neat short men's hair. The bright light reflected on her face, and she suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she would be regarded as a stalker, and the originally well-organized fierce words of helplessness turned into an apology with no deterrent effect.

"Sorry, it was a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding your size!" Qu Manting snorted coldly, obviously not believing her explanation, and waving the small bag to attack her again.

The first time she was defenseless, the second time she would definitely not let her succeed. Xie Tao turned sideways neatly, cut Qu Manting's swinging arm with his backhand, and pressed her on the sink.

"I said it was a misunderstanding, why are you acting like a shrew?"

Qu Manting was out of breath, and was about to shout, when there was a knock on the door, followed by a man's voice, "Miss Qu, are you in?" Obviously, Qu Manting's shout was startled he.

Xie Tao was startled, she didn't want to cause trouble, she quickly let go of Qu Manting, opened the bathroom door, and the person who knocked open the door ran out.

Qu Manting yelled from behind, Xie Tao looked around, the reporters on the stairs looked this way after hearing the movement, she pointed in the direction of the toilet: "Qu Manting is there!"

"Is it Qu Manting?"

"It's Qu Manting!"

"Miss Manting!"

Reporters swarmed over. Seeing Qu Manting being surrounded by reporters in a daze, Xie Tao exhaled a long breath and went downstairs easily.

When Xie Tao found Tan Xiaojun, she was chatting with the bartender happily.

With the delicate and euphemistic sound of the saxophone, the red curtain on the stage slowly opened. The lights on the stage turned from dark to bright, flickering non-stop with Qu Manting's appearance, and then thousands of neon lights turned into a chasing light on the graceful figures on the stage.

The beauty is dressed in a wine-red cheongsam, which makes her skin white as snow, and her eyes turn into countless charms. Just by appearing on the stage, she has firmly caught the attention of the audience.

Xie Tao had no intention of admiring the beauty, and his tone was a little urgent, "Xiaojun, you don't know that I just now..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice disappeared into the warm applause of the audience. Tan Xiaojun didn't know what was going on upstairs, so she put all her thoughts on the stage, pointed at Qu Manting and said with a smile, "Look, my friend is about to perform!"

Xie Tao tugged her with a headache, but Tan Xiaojun didn't realize it, and excitedly cheered and clapped with everyone, very appreciative.

Finally, when the song was over, the audience applauded and whistled. Xie Tao clapped his hands in cooperation, wanting to tell Tan Xiaojun to go with her first.

"What kind of big star, the singing is just that." A lazy male voice came from the second floor. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear in this lively dance hall.
