The clip of talking about a 19-year-old girlfriend in a cafe just made me laugh. It is not only sexy and charming on the bed, but also intellectual and elegant under the bed. It can be as quiet as a virgin but also as moving as a rabbit... The plot is also indescribable, I think I can find it The down-and-out painter in true love and the cabinet sister who was oppressed by World War II and sold perfume under the fence, the two were constantly ambiguous while enjoying the sacrifices of the elder sister Bai Fumei who supported them and the charming older male star, but in the end, neither of them was bold. Pursuing the so-called true love also depends on the success of Bai Fumei's sister and big stars... I watched loneliness for two hours
