A group of students dispersed, presumably returning to their own homes.
Ye Chu should have left with his friends, but Lu Huai didn't see the car drive away. The black car gradually drove into the deep night, getting farther and farther away from the theater.
Lu Huai looked out of the car window, and outside was the night Shanghai full of lights and feasting.
Some pedestrians returning home late can be seen on the street, and the scenery is different. But the girl in the skirt was different from them.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Lu Huai lay on the bed, tossing and turning, not falling asleep.
Perhaps it was because of meeting her once, that night, Lu Huai had a dream.
It was the little liar in the dream.
Like before, Lu Huai went to the Grand Theater, the difference was that he went there alone, and he didn't know whose appointment he was attending.
Suddenly, Lu Huai saw the person standing in front of him. She was still wearing that school uniform, blue shirt and black skirt.
Ye Chu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Lu Huai. Noisy human voices came from a distant place, and her voice was unreal.
Lu Huai looked at Ye Chu, her expression became more anxious.
After a while, Ye Chu found a note from her pocket, and she handed it to Lu Huai.
There seems to be something written on it, black characters on a white background can be vaguely seen, line after line, the handwriting seems very familiar.
When Lu Huai wanted to see clearly, the piece of paper became more and more blurred... Soon, he woke up from his dream.
It was early morning, and the air was extremely cold. He remembered that delicate and tight little face.
After fighting, probing and getting acquainted, Lu Huai thought that he knew Ye Chu deeply enough, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Lu Huai just felt that he hadn't seen her through yet.
She seemed to be hiding some secrets that he didn't know about.

Some time ago, Qiao Liu suffered a big loss from Shen Jiu. The car was tampered with by Shen Jiu, and the tire blew out on the way back.
According to Qiao Liu's temperament, how could he let it go. He gave Gu Ping an order that night, asking Gu Ping to recruit the most outstanding singer Die Die from Metropolis.
Gu Ping was Qiao Liu's most capable subordinate, a mere singing girl, he used any means casually, and was afraid that the singing girl would not be obedient.
The next day, Gu Ping found out the singer's address and went directly to her home.
The door of the room was knocked loudly, Gu Ping and his party worked under Qiao Liu's subordinates, but they didn't understand what it means to be sympathetic to the sweet and the jade.
"Who is it?" Someone in the room opened the door.
Butterfly sang songs all night and was resting at home at this time. Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door early in the morning and woke up Butterfly who was still sleeping.
There is inevitably a bit of impatience in Butterfly's words.
As soon as the door opened, a row of burly men stood outside, surrounding the door of her house, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
When Die Die saw it, she knew that the people in front of her were not good people, so she quickly closed the door.
But what kind of person is Gu Ping, he has done a lot of bad things, how could he not see Die Die's thoughts. Before Butterfly closed the door, he gave his subordinates a wink.
The door that was about to close was suddenly pushed open, and the butterfly was forced to take a big step back, almost not falling.
"If you continue to break in, I will call for help. My acquaintances will be around, and they will report to the police station."
As soon as Die's words fell, the group of people behind Gu Ping laughed out loud, mocking Die's overreaching.
The neighbors who heard the movement came out, and when they saw Gu Ping's posture, they didn't dare to cause trouble, and retreated home one after another.
Gu Ping casually pulled a stool in the room, sat on it, and crossed his legs.
"Miss Butterfly, sit down, we're not here to make trouble, we just want to have a good discussion with you, some things still need your cooperation."
Although the words are good, but which sentence is not an implicit warning, Butterfly has to sit in the seat farthest from these people.
Gu Ping didn't care when he saw Die's small movements. His main purpose of coming here today was to let Die go back obediently and sing in Xianle Palace.
"What can you do for me?" Butterfly asked hesitantly.
Gu Ping waved his hand: "Miss Butterfly, don't be nervous, Master Liu sent me out to handle some errands, and I just want you to cooperate with us."
As soon as Qiao Liu's name was heard, Die Die trembled subconsciously. No one knew Liu Master's methods, so there was no way for her to speak here.
Butterfly asked: "What should I do?"
Gu Ping conveyed Qiao Liu's meaning: "We know that Miss Butterfly is the best singer in the metropolis. Master Liu just wants you to go to Xianle Palace to sing a few songs. There is no other meaning."
Butterfly understood as soon as she heard this, it was nothing more than Qiao Liu wanting to dig herself out to perform. But the metropolis is kind to her. She had no way out, and only started her life again in the metropolis.
A slight hesitation appeared on Die Die's face, and Gu Ping's expression turned cold all of a sudden.
"It seems that Miss Butterfly is unwilling. The girl is born with a good voice. It would be a pity if she can never sing."
Gu Ping's threat must have meant what he said, Die Die's back was wet, and his face turned pale.
"I... that's not what I meant. Wait... I'll go to Metropolis to say hello first." Butterfly couldn't even speak clearly.
Gu Ping laughed when he heard this, and said, "Young lady is a sensible person, so Metropolis doesn't need you to show up. We will inform you. Now I will trouble you to clean up and prepare to leave."
"This is a reward. As long as the girl sings well, the money will only increase." Gu Ping casually threw a stack of money onto the table.
As soon as Gu Ping left, Butterfly went limp all of a sudden. Panting heavily, she took the money on the table with trembling hands and held it in her arms.
Fortunately, there are still these, otherwise she would really lose more than she gains.
Gu Ping moved quickly, Die tidied up, and as soon as he went out, he immediately brought Die in front of Qiao Liu.
Butterfly had just stepped into the metropolis, so she didn't dare to look up at all. She was led all the way to one of the rooms.
Qiao Liu sat on the sofa and just put down the teacup in his hand. As soon as the butterfly arrived, Qiao Liu just raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly.
It was just this one look that scared Butterfly almost to her knees on the ground, her head immediately dropped to her chest, like a quail, she dared not look at Qiao Liu, let alone look into his eyes.
"Six... Master Six." Butterfly's lips trembled.
"Are you a butterfly?" Qiao Liu's voice was chilly.
"Master Liu, I will definitely sing well." Die Die hastened to show her loyalty, since she can't go back to Metropolis, now the most important thing is to please Master Liu and please him.
Qiao Liu sneered, and said lightly: "Shen Jiu's eyesight is really bad, looking for someone to change her outfit from head to toe, it's annoying to see."
Since she was going to sing in Xianle Palace in the future, she didn't need to bring those costumes from the metropolis.
"Yes, Master Six."
The trembling butterfly was immediately pulled down.

In the past few days, after Ye Chu returned home, he was about to start preparing for the academic exchange.
Xinli Middle School is currently selecting students to participate in an academic exchange, and students from Yijiao Girls Middle School will come to Shanghai to meet them.
Yijiao Girls' Middle School is a well-known girls' middle school in Beiping. Taking advantage of this exchange, the female students also came to Shanghai Beach to play around.
However, the selected students must have good grades and a good appearance, so as not to lose face to Xinli Middle School.
Ye Jiarou's grades have always been bad, she has so many bad thoughts all day long, she basically has no time to study.
Ye Chu is the female student with the best grades in Xinli Middle School. She didn't want to go to this academic exchange, but the teacher agreed after talking with her.
Yan Manman has a private teacher at home, even though she likes to dress up and watch movies most, her grades have never dropped.
Therefore, both of them participated in this academic exchange, and naturally Yin Shiyan, who had the highest academic achievement in Chinese studies, and other students.
The students of Yijiao Girls High School will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow and stay at the Xincheng Hotel.
In order to better entertain guests from afar, these students from Xinli Middle School will also live in the Xincheng Hotel tomorrow.
Early in the morning, Ye Chu went to the train station. After a while, Yin Shiyan also came. The two of them took a clean white board with the words "Yi Jiao Girls Middle School" written on it.
Yan Manman said he wanted to sleep well at home, and would go to Xincheng Hotel by himself in the afternoon.
The train from Beiping to Shanghai will arrive at ten o'clock in the morning, the school has sent a car, and Ye Chu and Yin Shiyan will take them there.
As the train pulled into the station, the crowd here began to become crowded. Ye Chu and Yin Shiyan held up the signs and supported each other to stand firm.
Passengers got off the train, and the crowd was bustling. A group of students in school uniforms looked around and came over after seeing the signs in their hands.
The leader was a tall female student, she smiled as soon as she came: "We are students of Yi Jiao Girls' Middle School."
Ye Chu and Yin Shiyan also smiled back: "We are the student representatives of Xinli Middle School."
Although it was the first time for the two of them to be guides, they spoke in a decent way, with a friendly attitude, which made people want to get closer.
Ye Chu smiled: "The school car is already waiting outside, and the place we are going to stay is the Xincheng Hotel."
Yin Shiyan also said with a smile: "There are many interesting places near the Xincheng Hotel, and you can have a good time this afternoon."
The enthusiasm of the two drew cheers from the female middle school students of Yijiao.
"Okay, okay, this is my first time in Shanghai."
"Although I've been here a few times before, I haven't had the chance to take a good look at it."
"..."
Seeing these students so excited, Ye Chu and Yin Shiyan immediately took them into the car. The car passed through the streets of Shanghai Beach. Along the way, the car was full of noise, and soon arrived at the Xincheng Hotel.
Each student's room has been determined, and Yin Shiyan has assigned keys to them. They live on the third floor.
At noon that day, the school set up a private room in the Xincheng Hotel to entertain the students from Peiping, and Yan Manman finally arrived.
Stir-fried crab butter, braised catfish, eight-treasure duck... Each dish has its own characteristics and looks mouth-watering. The principal said that the students in Peiping should feel the enthusiasm of Xinli Middle School.
The teacher who led the team stood up and raised the cup: "First of all, we warmly welcome the students from Yi Goddess Middle School."
A group of students were all smiling, and everyone was holding a glass of fruit juice with a lot of sugar added to it. The fragrance of the fruit juice and the sweetness of the sugar are not greasy at all.
Everyone moved their chopsticks and chatted while eating. The academic exchange is tomorrow, so this lunch will naturally be more enjoyable.
"In the past few days, everyone lives in the Xincheng Hotel, don't run around."
When we were about to finish eating, the teacher suddenly mentioned something.
"The guests from Nanjing came to Shanghai and happened to be staying at the Xincheng Hotel, and they were picked up by Lu Sanshao."
When Ye Chu heard this name, he paused slightly with his chopsticks by his mouth, thinking for a few seconds.
Anyway, there is nothing going on recently, so she will not send any message to Lu Huai. Lu Huai is usually dealing with official business. Xincheng Hotel is so big, even if they think about it, they would never meet each other.
Where Ye Chu's guilty conscience came from is unknown.
When she clearly heard those two words, Ye Chu was still distracted until a girl's voice next to her interrupted her thoughts.
The girl asked Ye Chu: "Sir Lu? Who is that?"
"The son of Governor Lu." Ye Chu thought about it for a while, and mentioned it lightly.
Ye Chu put the piece of fish just now into his mouth, pretending to be nonchalant and started chewing.
The teacher continued: "I heard from the manager that it was just a reception, and it has nothing to do with political affairs. Don't be nervous."
"There are other guests staying here. To ensure everyone's safety, if you want to go out, you must report to the teacher."
"..."
The lunch ended happily. Yan Manman took the group of female students to play outside, Ye Chu went upstairs with the key and entered her room.
At the other end, Lu Huai's car drove from the Governor's Mansion, and he arrived at the railway station. The train that the officer took would not arrive in Shanghai until the afternoon.
Ye Chu had already left in the morning, unfortunately, they happened to miss it.
Lu Huai is going to pick up an officer surnamed Dai, who has a good relationship with Governor Lu. The two experienced life and death together, and Chief Dai once saved the life of Governor Lu.
When he came back to Shanghai, Lu Huai arranged a room in Xincheng Hotel for Chief Dai.
A car stopped at the entrance of Xincheng Hotel, Lu Huai got out of the car, and a man in a black tunic got down from the back seat.
After staying in the hotel, Commander Dai from Nanjing has to rest due to the exhaustion of the journey.
For the convenience of reception, Lu Huai also lives here. A few years ago, the manager of the Xincheng Hotel reserved a room for him, which would not be given to other guests, and would be cleaned regularly.
Lu Huai opened the door with the key, he pushed the door and entered, the room was pitch black. He walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight outside was just right, illuminating the whole room brightly.
Although the floors are different, coincidentally, Lu Huai's and Ye Chu's rooms are in the same location.
The two of them happened to be separated by a wall, he was upstairs and she was downstairs.
In the downstairs room, Ye Chu was taking a nap. She has been extremely sleepy these past few days, and she has fallen asleep a little.
Seemingly dreaming of something, Ye Chu frowned, turned over and fell asleep again.
Lu Huai flipped through his books all afternoon, and Ye Chu also slept all afternoon.
Ye Chu slept for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already evening.
It was time for dinner, Lu Huai planned to put away his books and leave the room.
The room that Xincheng Hotel reserved for Lu Huai was fully prepared, and there was a small bookshelf inside. He was about to put the books on it, but when he paused for a few seconds, something flashed through his mind.
In a bookstore on White Road, a girl stood on tiptoe to pick up a book, and Lu Huai took it for her.
Ye Chu just woke up. She lay down with her eyes open for a while, and when she woke up, she wanted to pick up the pocket watch beside the bed to see what time it is.
The watch chain was pulled up by her, the pocket watch hung down, and something flashed through her mind.
This pocket watch was given to her by her cousin when he came back from England, and it is very similar to Lu Huai's one.
Lu Huai upstairs looked at the bookshelf, and Ye Chu downstairs looked at the pocket watch.
Lu Huai pushed it lightly, and the book was put on the shelf. The watch cover was flipped open, Ye Chu glanced at the pocket watch, the second hand ticked away.
Lu Huai looked down at his pocket watch, Ye Chu's warm hands wrapped her pocket watch.
He is above and she is below. Across a wall, the two thought of each other at the same time.
