Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

In the morning, sunlight filtered through the mist onto the Huangpu River, creating shimmering waves. The buildings along the Bund appeared particularly magnificent in the early morning light, with skyscrapers of various international styles standing side by side, highlighting the city's prosperity and international character.

The streets were already bustling with activity. Rickshaw pullers pulled passengers through the bustling crowds, their clothes drenched in sweat. Newsboys clutched newspapers, shouting out the latest news. Steam rose from roadside food stalls, and the aroma of fried dough sticks and soy milk filled the air, making one's mouth water.

In this vibrant city, everyone is busy with their lives. Merchants busily prepare for the day's business in their shops, workers rush to the factory, and students carry their backpacks to school. Meanwhile, in the luxurious mansions, the wealthy enjoy a leisurely breakfast, discussing the latest fashions and entertainment.

However, behind this prosperity, there are many unknown stories hidden.

Gangs are fighting secretly, and people at the bottom of society are having a hard time.

But the morning in Shanghai is still full of hope and vitality. It is a stage for dreams, attracting countless people to pursue their own future.

……

Yinyin had just finished breakfast and was washing dishes.

"Yinyin!" Long Qi came out of Yinyin's room and went to the kitchen.

"Why did you come here so early today?" Yin Yin looked up at him and continued with what she was doing.

"I'll take you somewhere!"

Yinyin put the dishes away and wiped her wet hands on the apron around her waist. "Where are you going?"

"I'll tell you when we get there!"

"So mysterious?" Yin Yin muttered, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Yinyin, bring some things you use frequently!" Long Qi reminded.

After being surprised for a moment, Yinyin immediately understood.

She took two sets of clothes, a notebook, a pen, and the dagger!

When Long Qi saw the dagger, he frowned but said nothing!

As long as he is around, Yinyin will never have to use it!

The two men went out the back door of the house next door, where a car was parked.

It was not the car that Long Qi usually drove. Yinyin took a look and got in.

Long Qi started the car and said, "Yinyin, I received news that the three jackals from the Axe Gang have teamed up with Hashimoto Hirokazu."

They really value him and know that they have to unite to fight him!

Long Qi laughed, arrogantly and domineeringly, "I will let them know who has the final say in Shanghai!"

"Be careful!" Yinyin said, and continued to look out the window. There was a lot of traffic and it was very noisy.

"Don't worry!" Long Qi said confidently, "I'm ready!"

Having said that, he was still worried that there might be some mistakes, so he had to make arrangements in advance.

……

"Yinyin," Long Qi pulled Yinyin into a small house, "This is the first house I bought!"

His voice was full of emotion.

At the beginning, he dreamed of having a home of his own in Shanghai!

So when he made enough money, he bought the house without hesitation. However, due to his busy schedule, he had little time to live here.

"Why did you buy it here?" Yin Yin asked curiously.

She looked around and found that this was just an ordinary residential building in a remote location with poor lighting.

Long Qi smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with memories. "On my first night in Shanghai, I slept under the eaves of this building," he whispered, as if he were back in that cold night. "It was raining that day, and it was very cold!"

Yinyin couldn't help but imagine the scene at that time, and her heart ached. She couldn't imagine how the homeless Long Qi had survived that stormy night.

"I was thinking, how nice it would be if I had a house here?" Long Qi continued, a hint of laughter in his tone. "I wish I had known you back then!"

You won’t be so lonely!

Yinyin's eyes were moist. She held Long Qi's hand tightly, feeling his former loneliness and helplessness.

At this moment, she finally understood what this house meant to Long Qi - it was not only a residence, but also a testimony to his struggle and his expectation for the future.

"From today on, you'll be living here," Long Qi showed Yin Yin around. "I've bought a lot of food and supplies, so you can rest assured."

The house is not big, with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small living room.

Although this humble little house lacks luxurious decorations and comfortable facilities, it has a simple and real atmosphere of life.

"What about my sister?" Yinyin was worried that her sister would be hurt if she disappeared.

"Don't worry," Long Qi patted Yin Yin's hand soothingly, "She and the people from the Seventh Heaven will go to another place."

They know nothing, which makes them safer!

"Where are Tieju and Ma Yongzhen?" Can these two good friends be safe in this war?

Long Qi sighed, "I've talked to Ma Yongzhen. He wants to live a stable life after making money!"

He admired Ma Yongzhen very much, both for his martial arts skills and his kindness and justice.

Long Qi really wanted Ma Yongzhen to conquer the world with him and take over Shanghai.

Unfortunately, Ma Yongzhen is not interested in this!

When Yinyin heard this, she felt very sorry, not only because Tieju was her good friend, but also because Ma Yongzhen could not help Long Qi.

Ma Yongzhen is very skilled in martial arts and very reliable. With him by Long Qi's side, Yinyin can feel more at ease.

"Oh, right," Yin Yin seemed to suddenly remember something. She turned her head, her eyes fell on Long Qi, and asked softly, "Did you donate the three boxes of goldfish?"

Long Qi nodded, his lips curled up slightly, and said, "Of course I donated it. I bought all of it for food, medicine, and clothing, and donated it to the refugees in need."

He paused and continued, "Besides, I personally watched over all of this." After saying that, he hugged Yin Yin tightly, took her to the sofa, and slowly sat down.

After listening to this, Yinyin's face blossomed into a bright and warm smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

She said softly, "Then let's make regular donations to those in need, okay?"

Long Qi has a lot of wealth and has long ignored money.

He answered without hesitation: "Of course, as long as you like it, any way is fine."

Determination and anticipation gleamed in Yin Yin's eyes. She softly asked, "If we can successfully overcome this difficulty, I hope to stand in front of everyone with you. Is that okay?"

Long Qi showed a surprised expression. He knew very well that Yin Yin always liked a quiet and simple lifestyle, so he never intended to let his affairs interfere with her.

He asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Yin Yin answered sincerely, "Because I want to help you!"

It is certainly possible to conquer Shanghai with powerful military force, but to consolidate and hold this position, you need the support and recognition of more people!

“I hope everyone knows how great you are!”

"You are by no means just a warrior, but a passionate Chinese man who eradicates evil, upholds justice, and resists foreign invasion!"

The corners of Long Qi's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a touch of emotion and relief. He asked softly, "Am I really so beautiful in your eyes?"

"You're better than I said!"
