Rumba is very lingering, Ling Shu has heard of it, and has seen others skip it.

When he was in it, he realized that Rumba was far more lingering than he imagined.

Yue Dingtang has slowed down his movements as much as possible, but he still feels at a loss.

Having learned to dance, it should have been basic, but now it is like a novice who is just beginning to see the door.

Ling Shu felt a little regretful.

No matter how he looked at him, he felt like a puppet, being carried by Yue Dingtang to the east, then to the east, to the west, and to the west, without the slightest will, his mind was chaotic, maybe it was the bowl of bones just now The soup has not been fully digested, and the tender meat and bone marrow on the jelly bones are still flirting and dancing in the mood, making him unable to return to the real world for a while. reaction.

"and many more!"

Ling Shu couldn't help but shouted stop.

But Yue Dingtang ignored him.

Before a piece of music is over, it is useless for anyone to stop.

Dance must have a beginning and an end, especially a dance like Rumba that pays attention to mood and mood. It is very important whether a person can fully integrate into it, which determines his understanding and learning progress.

Obviously, it's impossible for Ling Shu to make a quick success in just half an hour. At most, he can only talk a few words on the dance floor, so that Miss Zhen feels that he also has a certain understanding of Rumba, so that he won't be smeared at all.

However, Ling Shu always felt that something was wrong.

He couldn't help but ask his own question—

"You asked me to please Miss Zhen, why do I feel like I'm trying to please you?"

"Do you care about pleasing me?" Yue Dingtang's expression remained unchanged.

Ling Shu smiled and said, "If Chief Yue will definitely give me more monthly salary, I will definitely go all out and do my best to make you feel like a spring breeze and feel comfortable."

In order to match the dancing atmosphere, the headlights in the living room were turned off, and only dim yellow lights were left on purpose.

If you ignore the conversation between the two of them.

Yue Dingtang: "You haven't told me yet, what did you do when you studied abroad?"

Ling Shu: "Why, you have to be able to dance the rumba when you study abroad, isn't it too hard for you, Mr. Yue?"

Yue Dingtang: "It's normal for a person who has studied in France for a few years to not be able to dance the rumba, but he shouldn't even forget to say hello in French. At the banquet at the consulate last time, if I didn't help you out, what would you do in the end? Consul?"

Ling Shu said indifferently: "If you can't deal with it, you won't be able to deal with it. You fool the past with some nonsense. Mr. Consul doesn't even know who I am. How can you care about a little guy like me?"

Yue Dingtang: "You were not such a person before."

Ling Shu lazily said: "Sir Yue, your expectations for me may have been too high. These days, it's not that many people go abroad to gild and come back to do errands. Look at the sons of high-ranking officials in Nanjing, nine out of ten are like this. , I have one more, what's so surprising? Anyway, my father is dead, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get through. It's better to be safe and idle. It's good now, and I met a noble like you, who even patrolled the streets at night. You can avoid it, my sister is so happy!"

"yes?"

Yue Dingtang was noncommittal, his thumb slid across his tiger's mouth, rubbing it coldly, with a deliberate ambiguity, which made Ling Shu hissed and gasped in exaggerated coolness.

"Sir Yue, you teach dancing, you teach dancing, and you also molest your subordinates? Is this the reason why you have never had an assistant? Dareqing was scared away by you, so you can only find old classmates to start?"

Yue Dingtang: "As I said, your marksmanship is very good, fast and accurate, and you don't hesitate to strike. General police or patrols have no skills like yours at all. There are thin calluses on the tiger's mouth on the left and right hands, which means that both hands have been practiced, but Why, you only use your left hand now?"

His voice was low, almost murmur, accompanied by music, like words of sympathy.

But the content has nothing to do with love words at all, and even has a bit of cold wind.

Yue Dingtang rubbed the palm of his right hand up, all the way to the tender meat on the inside of his wrist, but was suddenly caught by the backhand!

"Sir Yue, I am very suspicious of one thing."

"Um?"

"Is there something unspeakable about your delay in getting married? Don't worry, I won't look down on you, and I won't leak it out. I didn't hear a word tonight."

Yue Dingtang didn't care that he changed the subject at all, and continued: "I asked someone to check, and in the years you went abroad, none of the institutions of higher learning in Paris accepted a Chinese student named Ling Shu. Therefore, I have a wild guess."

He looked directly into Ling Shu's eyes, and the latter also raised his head.

"You didn't go to France at all, and you didn't study in France at all, so in those years, where were you, what were you doing, and your right hand was changed to your left, was it also related to this?"

Ling Shu suddenly laughed.

"I said, Mr. Yue, you have been curious about this question for a long time. You have asked me over and over again, are you interested in me, or are you interested in my experience, and you are tirelessly pursuing an answer?"

Yue Dingtang: "I'm very interested in your transformation. A very self-motivated person suddenly becomes accommodating, something must have happened. I hope to find the root of the problem, help you, and become the Lingshu you used to be again. ."

Ling Shu: "Then let my father come back to life first, he is alive, and our family has everything."

Yue Dingtang: "I'm wrong, you are not only self-motivated, but also a person with strong willpower. The fall of the family is not enough to change your personality, not to mention that Mr. Ling is not dead, but is dying, you guys The successor is powerless, and the Ling family takes tea to cool, which is also an inevitable result. The mysteries about you make me suspect—"

He paused deliberately, lengthening his tone.

But Ling Shu still didn't react at all. He even opened his eyes slightly, expecting something surprising from Yue Dingtang.

Yue Dingtang was a little disappointed, this was not the reaction he wanted.

"Doubt what?" Ling Shu was amused and urged him to announce the answer quickly.

Yue Dingtang: "I doubt you, have you received any special training, have been on a mission, and have even been seriously injured."

Ling Shu laughed: "Why don't you just suspect that I'm doing things for the Japanese? To be honest, the Zhen family has a good relationship with President Wang, and President Wang has a lot of friendship with the Japanese. I was missing a stepping stone and went to find it. President Wang is very close, otherwise, there is no need to rush to please Miss Zhen."

The first half of the sentence is pure nonsense, but the second half is quite content, Yue Dingtang couldn't help frowning.

"What are you doing with Dean Wang?"

"I studied abroad, but instead of going to France, I went to the United States. Don't you realize that I can speak English well? The people who took me there lied to me and said that the United States was full of gold. You know the situation in our family at that time. My sister was bankrupt to get the tuition for me to study abroad. I was not willing to work and study abroad for a few years, and I might not be able to get a job when I came back, so I temporarily added money on the ship and went to the United States with that person.”

"and after?"

"It turned out to be deceived. The United States does not talk about gold everywhere. As long as Chinese people with yellow skin and black hair are discriminated against, the Chinese Exclusion Act makes it even more difficult for them to do anything. After I worked odd jobs in Chinatown for a few months, I looked for an opportunity to go back to China, but I didn’t dare to go home to see my sister, because at that time I had squandered the tuition fees she had collected for me, so I went to Yunnan, Sichuan and other places for a few years, joined the horse thief, and also I've been with Brother Pao. Aren't you curious about how my right hand was ruined? At that time, I learned to fight with others, I was injured, my right hand tendon was broken, I couldn't lift heavy objects, and I couldn't aim at objects, so I changed my left hand. "

He spoke candidly and openly, the truth and the false are also true, and even Yue Dingtang could not tell the difference for a while.

The two looked at each other, and Ling Shu spoke without hesitation.

Yue Dingtang asked, "Then why did you come back?"

Ling Shu didn't care: "I feel remorse, I suddenly woke up one day, and remembered that my sister was still waiting at home, it doesn't matter if my life was wasted by me, if my sister knew that I not only did not stay abroad, but also Going to mix with other people, Brother Pao, and in the end, nothing is achieved, I am afraid that I will die of sadness."

Yue Dingtang: "Brother Pao and horse thieves, although they are not a strict organization, but there are many licks of blood, they can let you go as soon as you say it?"

Ling Shu smiled and said: "Of course not, when I joined, I kept an eye on it, I used a pseudonym, pretended to be a one-eyed dragon, wore a blindfold all the year round, and dressed up in disguise, based on my experience in the north and south of the river, I have even been to America, foreign devil. I’ve been beaten up before, and the mere horse thief is still talking about it? The fake death is far away, and I don’t know it, they have long thought that I died thoroughly, and the grass on the grave is three feet high!”

Yue Dingtang: "What does this have to do with you and Dean Wang?"

Ling Shu: "Now China is full of foreign powers, and even Shanghai is divided into three parts. People say that the Nanjing government, on the surface, is the chairman of the committee, but in fact it is the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and Russia. Among them, the Japanese are the most ambitious and have already Taking up such a large piece of fat in the three eastern provinces, since Dean Wang is close to the Japanese, if he can catch up with Dean Wang, it will be like an extra network. Maybe one day he will be able to get some benefits from the Japanese. Why? Can you say it's not necessary?"

He analyzes the situation eloquently, but speaks it in a cynical tone, as if he were watching a farce, it's none of his business, and he's ruthless.

Can you believe his words

There were doubts in Yue Dingtang's heart.

With his countless eyes, he couldn't be sure.

If what Ling Shu said is true, his experience is not without richness, and his marksmanship and skills can naturally be explained.

After a person has experienced so much, he is young and mature, his ambitions have been wiped out, he only wants to make a living, is greedy and lazy, and it seems to make sense.

The song ended but no one left.

Yue Dingtang didn't let go, but leaned closer, one word at a time.

"Be careful, you can't take advantage, but you are playing with fire."

Ling Shu smiled and said: "Isn't that the Chief Yue covering me? If there is a problem, I will find you. Don't worry, except for Shen Shiqi, when have you seen me conflict with others so far? Not everyone sees people. Love, are the flowers blooming?"

Yue Ding Tang snorted coldly, pushed him away abruptly, and dipped Ling Shu with his fingers.

"The Zhen family dance is a mixed bag. There are not a few people like Shen Shiqi, who are even more difficult to deal with. You, give me some peace of mind."

Ling Shu pretended to salute.

"Yes, sir!"

The author has something to say:

Regarding the statement of Nanjing University in the previous chapter, although the history of place names in the article follows reality, the university is not, including the university where Yue Dingtang is located, and it is also a fictitious name. In order to make it clear, the name of Nanjing University has been modified. Check in with all real universities.
