Young Master Zhu Can didn't expect to be so unlucky today.

His mother knew that he was impatient with the young man surnamed Wang, but she insisted on taking him with her to socialize in order to borrow his new villa for a salon party.

After dealing with it for a whole day, the scorching sun on the golf course made him dizzy and his face pale as if he was seriously ill. His mother finally waved her hand and let him take the bus home first.

Sitting in the car, Zhu Can felt depressed. He felt that the whole day was like boiled lard, greasy and sticky. He went home, took a shower, changed into a shirt and trousers, and put on the black vest brought by the maid Dada. Then he went out with the goal of cleansing his mood.

All the movies were boring, as they kept showing the same few over and over again. Zhu Can was sitting in the car looking out the window when he was attracted by the old-fashioned theater next to him. In order to attract audiences and compete with the growing number of Western cinemas, a row of colorful lights were hung at the entrance of the theater, making the names on the posters shine brightly.

The play was an old one, "Farewell My Concubine," with the famous Jing role "Gu Cui Feng" and the other female role "Xiao Mei Xian."

Zhu Can received a Western-style education at home. He had never been to a theater or listened to a serious opera. Today, he happened to hear that there was a "male dan" in the rap opera performed by Wang, that is, men played women, and he couldn't help but become interested.

The driver was sent to buy tickets, but was told that they were sold out. Young Master Zhu didn't listen to this, so he took out a few tickets from his wallet and was soon led to the venue by the driver.

The stage is very beautiful, the clothes are also nice, and when the small lights shine on them, they look really brilliant and graceful.

The girl called "Xiao Meixian" was pretty good-looking, with long legs, a thin waist, and beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Zhu Can studied her for a long time but couldn't see how she looked like a man.

Young Master Zhu had studied enough but didn't finish listening. He didn't know the rules of the stage, so he just put the rest of his wallet on the table and went out alone.

It's nothing, it's just hard to understand the babbling, even if it's sung by a beautiful woman.

When I came out, I found that the driver and the car were not there. I guess they thought it was still early before the show ended, so they went to find a place to rest.

Zhu Can was not in a hurry. It was still early anyway, so he walked around by himself. There was a vendor selling soup noodles nearby. When the big pot was opened, steam came out like steamed buns. There was a pile of firecracker shells on the ground. Some ragged children with runny noses were picking them up with their heads down.

Young Master Zhu was a mysophobe and couldn't take more than a glance. The small black vest made him look like a protective shell, and he walked deeper and deeper into the cave by himself, hunching his waist.

The moon at night was round and a little foggy, looking tearful, as if about to cry. Zhu Can looked up and felt unhappy. He was about to turn around and walk back when a noise came from outside the alley and he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck.

When Zhu Can woke up the next second, all he saw was a desolate roof.

His neck was still sore and his head was dizzy. Zhu Can supported himself with his elbows and raised his body to look around, only to find that he was actually in a hospital ward.

Looking to the left, there is a row of beds. Looking to the right, there is another row of beds.

Apart from him, there was no one else in the hospital, and it was actually a hospital for ordinary people.

Before he could finish being surprised, Zhu Can looked down again and saw that he was wearing boxer shorts, his upper body was naked, and a small vest that was already stained with mud.

His shirt, trousers, wallet, pocket watch, and the glasses he only needed to show off were all gone.

Young Master Zhu has never been in such an embarrassing situation since he was a child.

I don’t know which damn thief did this.

Zhu Can cursed softly and immediately took off his muddy vest. Having nowhere to put it, he just threw it on the ground.

As soon as I threw it down, the door opened.

A group of noisy people surrounded a young man lying on a hospital bed. Blood could be vaguely seen between the people. Several people who looked like doctors followed in, and the last one to close the door was a doctor who was obviously taller than the others.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his hair was all tied back, the lines of his face were cold and hard, and his skin was as white as a foreigner.

Zhu Can took a few more glances, then felt that there were too many people, so he shrank back and lay down under the quilt.

I listened carefully and vaguely heard that the person lying on the bed was the "Little Plum Fairy" in the theater tonight. She had just put on her makeup and went out when someone hit her on the back of the head with a stick.

The elderly owner of the class was in tears and wanted to kneel down in front of the doctors, but now he had done everything he could and there was nothing else he could do but wait for the patient to wake up.

The clamor continued for a long time without a break. Zhu Can, annoyed, tutted, and turned away from the patient. Perhaps realizing they were disturbing other patients, the crowd surrounding Xiao Meixian finally dispersed, leaving only a personal attendant. Just as the doctors were about to leave, the new arrival, Xi Zheng, and Doctor Xi, walked towards the bedside.

“This can’t be littered.”

Xi Zhenghe's doctor's coat was worn like a windbreaker, with the shirt underneath buttoned to the top button. Zhu Can turned his head to look, and his arms and shoulders ached so much that they were about to cramp.

"What rubbish, those are my clothes."

Xi Zhenghe lowered his eyes, his eyelashes so thick that they cast a small shadow.

"You can't throw clothes around either."

Zhu Can sighed again. A female doctor at the door saw this and walked over.

"Hey, you're awake. Does your neck still hurt?"

Zhu Can preferred to talk to this kind-looking female doctor. Although he felt that the hospital quilt was dirty, he had no clothes to cover his body, so he had to wrap himself around the quilt and said:

"Excuse me, I'm here because I woke up. My neck and shoulders hurt like I was hit."

"You got beaten up!" The female doctor pointed at Xi Zhenghe next to her. "If Doctor Xi hadn't come by and picked you up, you'd still be lying naked in the alley."

Zhu Can blushed: "No light, no light."

"It's not good to have no light. If I sleep on the ground in this weather, I'll definitely have a fever for several days."

The female doctor looked at the large red mark on the back of Zhu Can's neck and said, "As long as he can wake up, there's no problem. Contact your family and pay the bill first."

Zhu Can was overjoyed and quickly told the doctor his address and asked the female doctor to help find someone to deliver a message. However, when Xi Zhenghe heard the name of the Zhu family, he looked up and glanced at the person wrapped in a quilt on the bed.

Xi Zhenghe put the vest thrown on the ground on a stool that someone had dropped, turned around and was about to leave with the notebook in his hand. Zhu Can looked at him several times from behind, and before closing the door, he shouted "thank you" to the man's straight back.

The door that was about to close opened again, and Xi Zhenghe's face was revealed. Illuminated by the incandescent light, it looked like a peeled egg floating in the water.

"No loud noises either."
