It's hard to find someone who understands you.

  It's still a while before the opera starts, and Di Yu and Xiao Tong are sitting in a relatively rear position.

  "Xiao Tong, I'm really sorry." Di Yu apologized.

  "What's wrong?" Xiao Tong asked with a smile.

  "My sister... " Di Yu said with a smile. Last time he told Di Yun not to do such boring things again, but unexpectedly, after just a few days, Di Yun sang another one, and it was even planned two days ago or even earlier. It seems that apart from his parents caring about Di Yu's career and marriage, his sister Di Yun also cares about his private life.

  Xiao Tong said: "I'm not angry at all, why should you blame yourself? Or do you look down on me and don't want to be friends with me?"

  "Of course not! I'm just afraid that a rough person like me accompanying you to the opera would be out of place. If we're seen together by your acquaintances, wouldn't they laugh at us?" He pointed to his military uniform, which was completely unsuitable for the opera house, and smiled wryly.

  "Haha!" Xiao Tong laughed generously: "You're not an uncouth person, last time you were quite knowledgeable about Minyue and classical music, I consider you a kindred spirit! Even I, who specialize in music, have to admire you."

  Xiao Tong values more is a person's inner and quality.

  "It's my honor to be your kindred spirit - did you major in music in college? I thought you majored in design or management." This was beyond Di Yu's expectations, as Xiao Tong, the creative director, turned out to be a genuine music talent.

  "Music can indeed make one's heart feel carefree, but after all, it can't be eaten as rice." Xiao Tong said with a mischievous tone.

  Di Yu looked at Xiao Tong with admiration, then withdrew his gaze. He had heard from Di Yun that Xiao Tong started her own business in college and had her own small company by the age of 21. However, due to her brother Xiao Jun's gambling addiction, she went bankrupt and now was just a white-collar worker, or at most, a gold-collar worker. From having nothing to achieving success as a woman, and then back to having nothing again, yet still maintaining such a carefree attitude towards life, it was truly admirable.

  The first act of the opera features a Roman opera, emphasizing the spectacular scenes of the opera to bring joy, with elaborate stage design, mechanical scenery and ballet scenes, ending with chorus and dance. The second act is a Venetian opera, featuring famous soloists, beautiful melodies, performers' voices and emotions, strong emotional expression, most touching people's hearts.

  Di Yu and Xiao Tong were soon infected by the content of the opera. Previously, Di Yu was afraid of being bored because he was with his sister, but after changing to another person, his mood became different. During the appreciation of the opera, Xiao Tong did not say a word, but from her enjoyable appearance, it seemed that she was also in harmony with the opera's chanting, apparently, she said that her university major was music.

  Di Yu was paying attention to Xiao Tong, and Xiao Tong wasn't neglecting Di Yu either. While others were just appreciating the opera, they were also appreciating each other. Although Di Yu's outfit today was a bit rough, it didn't affect Xiao Tong's impression of him.

  Witty and humorous, proficient in music, elegant in demeanor, a man of taste.

  For Di Yu, this kind of opera appreciation has slowly awakened some hidden emotions in his heart. The impact of this opera on him is especially huge. Although he disbanded and left the organization, living a peaceful life in Yanjing for more than half a year, but during this time, he had never felt as calm as he does now.

  That's the greatness of music! Slaughter, fear, trouble, bloodshed and even life and death are all baptized in the calm and peaceful sound of music.

  As he walked out of the theater, Di Yu smiled and said: "Xiao Tong, I now consider you a kindred spirit too."

  "This is also my honor." Xiao Tong quoted Di Yu's previous words to her, saying it very tacitly.

  Di Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll send you back."

  Xiao Tong said, "Forget it, Di Yun that girl cheated us again. I'm fine, but you look like you just came out of the military zone - I'll take a taxi back myself, you have something to do, you go first."

  Forget it...... That's what he meant by "take it or leave it", Di Yu could still hear the implication, and said: "It's okay, I'm on my way."

  "Is this the right way? Last time you sent me off was in the opposite direction, wasn't that also on the way?" Xiao Tong smiled.

  "This also just proves a very famous theory—"

  "The earth is round!" said Di Yu and Xiao Tong almost simultaneously.

  The two of them exchanged a smile, and Di Yu still personally invited Xiao Tong to get in the car and send her back home.

  On the way, Di Yu drove, Xiao Tong occasionally glanced at Di Yu with a smile, and when they were almost at her home, she said: "Di Yu, are you really a soldier?"

  Di Yu turned his head and looked at her with curiosity: "Why ask this?" He had already answered this question for her the last time they were in the coffee shop.

  "No, I just think that joining the army might be a waste of your talent. You're so skilled in music, have you ever thought about developing yourself in this area?" Xiao Tong knew Di Yu's family background and thought that maybe his family was forcing him to join the army, but his true interest should be music.

  It's not just her who thinks so, Di Yun also feels that her brother joining the army is a path paved by Lao Yezi for him. When she mentions Di Yu to Xiao Tong, she vaguely reveals such speculation.

  Di Yu smiled and said: "I'll also borrow a phrase from you, it can't be eaten as rice."

  "Haha! I shouldn't have asked that." Xiao Tong smiled and apologized, just as they arrived home. After getting out of the car, she smiled and said: "Want to go up and have a cup of tea?"

  "Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your home? I'm not exactly a good person." Di Yu remained noncommittal.

  Xiao Tong smiled even more slyly and shook her head, saying: "You're not that kind of person."

  This time it's Di Yu's turn to be curious about her certainty, asking: "You're so sure of me?"

  Xiao Tong shook his head again and said, "I believe in my own judgment."

  Di Yu shrugged and said, "Then I'll just have to be rude."

  Di Yu was about to drive into the neighborhood when Xiao Tong glanced at the third-floor room and suddenly changed his face, blocking Di Yu's way: "Di Yu, I think it's not convenient today, let's change another day, sorry, my brother is at home."

  Xiao Jun at home Xiao Tong shouldn't have such a big reaction, he saw a thread of worry and fear in Xiao Tong's eyes, and asked: "Is it that Wang Mingjie who is still bothering you because your brother owes him money?"

  Xiao Tong bit her lip, her face pale, but still nodded and said in a low voice: "Since last time, they often come to my house to play cards..."

  Since the last incident, Xiao Jun often brought Wang Mingjie and two others to Xiao Tong's place for gambling. If Xiao Tong was at home, he would usually lock the door from inside, so Xiao Jun had to wait until his sister left before bringing them over. He did this to force Xiao Tong to befriend Wang Mingjie, so that he wouldn't have to repay the debt himself. Whenever Xiao Tong saw the lights on at home, he would generally spend the night outside and didn't dare return home until they left.

  "Great, I've got nothing to do these days, might as well join in the fun." Di Yu said with a sudden smile.

  "You, you want to gamble with them?!" Xiao Tong looked at Di Yu in surprise, then shook his head repeatedly: "No way, no way! You didn't say they weren't good people last time, even if you have money, you'll still be cheated by them, it's not worth it!"

  Di Yu said indifferently: "You forgot what I said earlier, actually I'm not a good person either!"

  After hearing Di Yu's words, Xiao Tong almost didn't think and stubbornly said: "It's still not okay! Di Yu, you'd better leave quickly - no, I'll go with you, they're a group of demons. If it weren't for my brother, I would have called the police long ago!"

  "Hey, I'm telling you the truth, I'm really awesome," said Di Yu.

  "Di Yu, I know you want to help me, and I also know that the Di family is a renowned clan, but there's no need to get entangled with these evil spirits!" Xiao Tong refused to agree to let Di Yu go up, thinking that it was not worth risking his safety for these despicable people.

  "We're old friends, I've got this under control, get in the car!" Di Yu knew he couldn't reason with her, so he forcefully opened the door and pushed her into the car. When logic doesn't work, brute force is all that's left. Ah, treating a beauty like this, I don't want to either.

  However, he really regarded Xiao Tong as a kindred spirit. He couldn't just drag her down because of the inhumane relative Xiao Jun. Last time he didn't want to intervene, but this time he can't not intervene. It's hard to find someone who understands you.

  Park the car, Di Yu comforted her: "Okay, you can rest assured, in Yanjing, those who dare to challenge the Di family are either brainless or have eaten a brave leopard's gall. Bring it on, Ms. Xiao!"

  Xiao Tong was taken aback for a moment. Could it be that he wanted to use the Di family's name to intimidate Wang Mingjie and his gang? Was he actually willing to do this for her?

  Although she is currently just a worker, she also understands that if Di Yu conflicts with people like Wang Mingjie, it will still be in the name of the Di family. If it gets out, it will have a very negative impact on the Di family.

  Xiao Tong felt very comforted and delighted to have such a confidant, and finally agreed to bring Di Yu back home. To be honest, she was really fed up with these days, and the bitterness in her heart was unknown to others, but even her own brother wanted to push her into the fire pit.

  But she suddenly found herself no longer lonely, as if someone understood...

  Xiao Tong opened the door and indeed saw Xiao Jun, Wang Mingjie and others gathered around a table, playing mahjong with a loud noise. Di Yu and Xiao Tong entered, and Wang Mingjie and Xiao Jun were first surprised, then showed joy on their faces. Xiao Jian suggested going to Xiao Tong's house to play cards, but after waiting for several days without seeing Xiao Tong return, they finally waited until today.

  However, when they saw Di Yu beside Xiao Tong, Xiao Jun immediately turned black and stepped forward to scold Xiao Tong: "How can you still bring a man back home!!"

  Xiao Tong originally always avoided, but now came to anger, furious: "This is my home, my house, I bring men back home what's your relationship! On the contrary, what are you relying on to bring some unscrupulous people here, get out! All of you get out——"

  Xiao Jun had never seen his sister blow up like this before, and in front of his friends, he suddenly felt like he was losing face. He thought it was the man his sister brought back who was the problem, so he pointed at Di Yu angrily and said: "You little brat, you're not welcome here! Get out quickly, or else I won't be polite to you!"

  "How dare you!" Xiao Tong blocked Di Yu's way, saying: "Xiao Jun, I've already been very kind to you. From today on, we'll cut off all ties. Take your people and leave, or else I'll call the police!"

  Although Di Yu was the young master of the Yanjing Di family, Xiao Tong only regarded him as his confidant and didn't want him to get entangled with these people in front of him, so he strongly ordered them to leave.

  Wang Mingjie's face turned extremely ugly, just as he was about to speak up, Di Yu walked out from behind Xiao Tong with a smile and said: "Actually, I didn't plan on coming here at first, but then I heard from Xiao Tong that there's a gambling den upstairs, and my hands itched for a try, so I came. Do you mind if I join in?"
