Li Mingqing returned to the house in the city at night, stayed awake all night, and when the day was getting brighter, Li Mingqing got up from the bed and took down a box from the top of the wardrobe.

Li Mingqing opened the box, the upper layer of pen, ink, paper and inkstone were readily available, and below was a stack of portraits.

Li Mingqing took out the stack of portraits and looked at them one by one, there was a character in each painting, men, women and children, these people were all people who Li Mingqing had experienced in the past few hundred years and did not want to forget, Li Mingqing was worried that after a long time, he would one day forget some people and some things, so he chose to draw those people down, and took them out from time to time to read and update.

The above two are portraits of Zhou Jing and Zhang Li, and Li Mingqing looked at these two paintings and fell into a long memory.

After recovering, he continued to flip through the pages, and in front of a portrait, Li Mingqing stopped turning the page, the painting was the back of a long-haired girl, the girl stood on the roof with her hands behind her back and looked at the full moon in the sky, and the lower right corner of the painting was written with two small words "Xia Mo".

Li Mingqing stayed at home for another week, that day Li Mingqing slept at home during the day, and when he woke up, it was already night, Li Mingqing woke up and lay on the sofa for a while, Li Mingqing seemed to figure out something, got up from the sofa, and then took a shower, sorted out his image well, changed into a set of clothes and went out.

Li Mingqing wrote down the location of Xia Mo Bar from the mouth of that classmate that day, or in C City Li Mingqing took a two-hour car, asked many people all the way to the ground, and arrived at the destination at ten o'clock in the evening, Li Mingqing glanced at the four words "Xia Mo Tavern" on the signboard at the door, and walked in directly without hesitation.

This bar is not big, but there are a lot of people, Li Mingqing found the most corner position and shared a table with others, Li Mingqing symbolically ordered a few glasses of wine, and then sat quietly in the corner and watched everything in the bar.

Li Mingqing saw Xia Mo's figure at the bar, and returned to his long hair, the dim light could not hide Xia Mo's perfect facial features, and the disaster was not too proud for Xia Mo, Li Mingqing believed that the men present should basically come for her, because the eyes of the men present would glance at the bar whether intentionally or unintentionally, especially when Xia Mo walked out of the bar and came out to deliver wine, his proud figure attracted countless glances.

In addition to Xia Mo, there are four or five waiters in the bar, but only Xia Mo has been doing things, and Xia Mo is involved in everything such as bartending, delivering wine, closing tables, and collecting money, and Xia Mo probably knows the reason why he is so tired.

When the bar closed at half past two in the morning, there were still many people in the store, and everyone couldn't get enough of saying hello to Xia Mo and leaving, and some people were waiting for the time to say goodbye to Xia Mo.

The guests all lined up at the bar to check out and then said hello to Xia Mo before leaving, and when it was Li Mingqing's turn, Li Mingqing handed Xia Mo the drink list.

When Xia Mo looked up and saw Li Mingqing, the hand that took the order was slow in mid-air, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, but Xia Mo still recovered quickly, took Li Mingqing's drink list and swept it and said, "168 yuan." ”

Li Mingqing turned around and left after paying the money.

Xia Mo swept Li Mingqing out of the bar, facing the guests who came to check out behind, Xia Mo couldn't hold back his smile, Xia Mo found that his hands were trembling slightly at the moment, but Xia Mo still insisted on collecting the money.

After the bar opened the next day, Xia Mo watched everyone who came in at the bar, and after seeing Li Mingqing enter the door, Xia Mo's hand holding the wine glass finally loosened.

After that, Li Mingqing would come to the bar every night, Xia Mo could only feel at ease after seeing Li Mingqing in the bar every day, Li Mingqing stayed in a nearby hotel after leaving the bar at night, but he still had insomnia every night, but Li Mingqing could fall asleep in the noisy environment of the bar.

On this day, Li Mingqing was awakened by the sound of chairs moving, and after getting up, he looked around, it was the time for the bar to close, and people began to leave.

Li Ming sat down for a while after coming to his senses, then got up to join the payment team.

Today, Xia Mo was collecting money at the bar, looking at Li Mingqing in front of him, Xia Mo knew that he had just woken up, handed Li Mingqing a cup of tea from the bar, and then said: "You can sit down and drink some water first, and then come to settle the bill, don't worry." ”

Li Mingqing took the cup and nodded to find a place to sit down, half an hour later the other guests in the bar had already left, Li Mingqing stepped forward to pay, at this time Xia Mo stopped a few waiters who were cleaning up, and said: "You guys go back first, I'll clean up here." ”

Several waiters put down their work, two men and two women went back to the lounge to change their clothes, and then came out to say goodbye to Xia Mo.

There were only Xia Mo and Li Mingqing left in the bar, Xia Mo continued to clean up the unfinished venue, and Li Mingqing was helping to hand things on the side.

After cleaning up, Xia Mo said to Li Mingqing: "Let's go." ”

Li Mingqing was a little unclear about the situation, Xia Mo beckoned to Li Mingqing, and then took Li Mingqing up to the second floor of the bar.

The second floor has a lot of space, kitchen, bathroom, furniture and appliances, Li Mingqing observed the second floor at the same time, Xia Mo had already separated the bed with a quilt, and turned out his own set of pajamas and slippers, brought it to Li Mingqing and said, "Do you want to take a bath?"

Li Mingqing hesitated but picked up the pajamas, Xia Mo led Li Mingqing to the bathroom, and after Li Ming finished washing, Xia Mo went in to wash.

After Xia Mo dried her hair, she and Li Mingqing lay on the same bed, Li Mingqing smelled the familiar body fragrance and fell asleep peacefully.

Li Mingqing slept very soundly this night, and when he woke up, it was already noon, Xia Mo was preparing lunch, Li Mingqing changed his clothes, washed the toiletries prepared by Xia Mo, and the dishes were already on the table.

After dinner, the two cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, it was still early before the bar opened, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV to pass the time, no one changed the channel and no one spoke, and they were speculating about each other's thoughts.

After arriving at the point, Li Mingqing followed Xia Mo downstairs, and when he came down, the waiter at the bar had already arrived, and when they saw Xia Mo and Li Mingqing going downstairs together, their expressions were different, and the expressions on their faces couldn't tell whether they were shocked, confused, or envious.

Xia Mo didn't explain anything to them, but Li Mingqing still found a corner and sat down.

Today, there are a lot of guests at the bar very early, and there is no place for those who come in later, so they can only stand, probably because today is the Qixi Festival on August 7th.

There are basically people in the bar who confess their love to Xia Mo every day, but there are a lot of them today, and the people who confess are lined up.

Everyone's confession method and creativity are different, and there are people who send diamond rings and cars, and there are coaxies from time to time in front of the bar, but Xia Mo refuses only a few words, "We are not suitable, I have someone in my heart, thank you and I'm sorry." ”

The number of people who confessed did not decrease because of Xia Mo's refusal, but more and more, many of these people are old customers, and some people have to confess once a day, and Xia Mo is also helpless about this.

"I don't want to miss you anymore. After the person in front of him was rejected, Li Mingqing walked straight to the bar and said to Xia Mo.

"Cut... Li Mingqing's confession was responded to with disdain from the surrounding crowd, no creative confession, with empty hands, it looked a little interesting, and the others really couldn't see where there was an advantage, but there were many rejected rich and handsome people present.

However, the waiter in the bar had a bad premonition when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, when Li Mingqing walked to the bar, Xia Mo stopped bartending, and looked at the familiar person saying the words in his memory, Xia Mo did not hesitate at all, "Me too!" blurted out the three words.

"I'm sorry, I... ”

Xia Mo interrupted Li Mingqing's words, shook his head, and leaned lightly on Li Mingqing.

Li Mingqing's confession was successful, but the other confessions and the people present stopped doing it and began to vent all kinds of emotions.

Li Mingqing cleared his throat and was about to speak, Xia Mo walked out of the bar at this time, stood in front of Li Mingqing, and said: "This day is my happy day, I hope everyone can give blessings, all drinks are free today, if someone makes trouble today, you will bear the consequences." Xia Mo said these words with a smile, but after finishing speaking, the bar did quiet down, Xia Mo's methods they had seen and heard, otherwise how could a female boss with a bare face maintain the bar so orderly.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the guests couldn't spill their anger on Li Mingqing, so they could only viciously order the most expensive wine in the store and stare at Li Mingqing from a distance.

Li Mingqing looked at Xia Mo in front of him and smiled and said, "I was also preparing a speech just now to reveal my true feelings, and I moved them with love." ”

Xia Mo smiled and didn't speak, her eyes were full of love.

Li Mingqing sighed and hugged Xia Mo in his arms, and Xia Mo also leaned on Li Mingqing quietly. However, the action of the two caused a commotion in the bar.

Li Mingqing and Xia Mo slept together at night, there was still a quilt in the middle of the bed, and after eating the next day, Li Mingqing asked Xia Mo about his future plans, Xia Mo shook his head indifferently and said, "As long as I can stay by your side all the time." ”

Li Mingqing was just about to speak, but Xia Mo preemptively said: "I know you still have something in your heart, go ahead, I will wait for you here." ”

Li Mingqing pulled Xia Mo in front of him, Xia Mo was incomprehensibly beautiful at the moment, Li Mingqing stroked Xia Mo's face and kissed her lips gently.

After Zhao Shengnan went home this time and his father released his suspicions, he also went to his father's company at the request of his father to do things. Opening sales, etc., all kinds of processes have involved Zhao Shengnan, Zhao Jianguo taught very carefully, Zhao Shengnan also learned very seriously and quickly, plus Zhao Shengnan does have a certain brain and IQ in this regard, and now Zhao Jianguo has a lot of trust to divide a few pieces of land for Zhao Shengnan to operate and build, and also rowed a few company elites to assist Zhao Shengnan, and the whole company can see that Zhao Jianguo is very important to Zhao Shengnan.

Zhao Shengnan was checking the bidding document for the project, when the assistant knocked on the door and came in and said, "Manager Zhao, Liu Zhiyu said outside that he wanted to see you." ”

Zhao Shengnan nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

Liu Zhiyu often runs to Zhao Shengnan, and this assistant is already very familiar with Li Zhiyu.

After Liu Zhiyu entered the door, he said directly to Zhao Shengnan, who was sitting on the chair: "You can't marry Yan Zida." ”

Zhao Shengnan glanced up at Liu Zhiyu, lowered his head and continued to read the bidding document, and said, "Why can't I marry him?"

"You don't like him at all, do you dare to say that you like him before marrying him?" Liu Zhiyu was very angry.

"Can't you get married if you don't like it?" Do those who get married like each other?" Zhao Shengnan asked rhetorically.

"You just have a crush on his family's power. Liu Zhiyu said bluntly.

Zhao Shengnan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Just take what you need." ”

Yan Zi's father holds an important position in the city, Yan Zi'a is now also walking his father's path, Zhao Jianguo and Yan Zi's father are old friends who have cooperated for many years, when the two families got together that day, Yan Zi'a was attracted by Zhao Shengnan's beauty at a glance, and then asked his father to create a meeting opportunity for him many times, half a year later, Yan Zi's answer proposed to Zhao Shengnan, and what everyone didn't expect was that Zhao Shengnan actually agreed.

"You are not the Zhao Shengnan I knew before, she is not as realistic as you!" Liu Zhiyu frowned.

"I also want to go back to when I was a child, following your ass Brother Zhiyu and screaming, how good it is to have no worries, but people always have to grow up, and there will be pursuits. Zhao Shengnan paused and saw that Liu Zhiyu did not speak, and lowered his voice and continued: "Brother Zhiyu, love is destined to be unrelated to me in this life, you are different, you still have the opportunity to pursue your love, I know you like me, but you will not be happy when we are together, my heart is not in you, if you don't care that I go to the hotel with you now, this is the only thing I can give you." ”

After hearing Zhao Shengnan's words, Liu Zhiyu's eyes suddenly became cold, staring at Zhao Shengnan, and said coldly: "I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

Looking at Liu Zhiyu who slammed the door and came out, Zhao Shengnan sighed, returned to his chair and picked up the tender book and continued to read it.

August 10th is the day of Zhao Shengnan's wedding, Zhao Shengnan and Yan Zi's wedding venue was chosen outdoors, the wedding scale was very large, the big wedding political and business circles also came to many people with heads and faces, Zhao Jianguo took Zhao Shengnan's hand and came out of the backstage, and suddenly the scene resounded with warm applause.

Song Qian also came to the scene at this wedding, looking at her daughter who attracted the attention of the audience, Song Qian was not as happy as she imagined, because her daughter's marriage object was not the boy in her painting, she didn't think her daughter could forget that boy, looking at her daughter with a smile on her face at the moment, Song Qian was more sad.

In fact, when he learned that Zhao Shengnan was going to marry Yan Zia, including before he came on the field just now, Zhao Jianguo asked Zhao Shengnan seriously if he really planned to marry Yan Zia, and Zhao Shengnan answered in the affirmative, Zhao Jianguo sometimes felt that he really didn't know his daughter, but what he could do was not let his daughter receive a little harm.

Zhao Shengnan, who appeared in a wedding dress, shocked all the guests present, and all the men and women of all ages cast appreciative eyes and envious whispers.

However, those who are attentive find that the bride's eyes are always looking at the last corner of the row, intentionally or unintentionally.

During the wedding, Yan Zida was about to put on a ring for Zhao Shengnan, but Liu Zhiyu rushed up from the banquet, took Zhao Shengnan's hand and walked down, this scene made many people not react, and then some people began to coax.

Zhao Shengnan shook off Liu Zhiyu's hand, looked at the corner, and said self-deprecatingly: "I really hope it's not you who came up." ”

At this time, the man and the woman came out to hold Liu Zhiyu, and Zhao Dou also rushed up when he saw this, fearing that others would hurt Liu Zhiyu, and Zhao Dou stood in front of Liu Zhiyu.

Liu Zhiyu's father and Zhao Jianguo are brothers and business partners, and they will definitely not treat Liu Zhiyu well, and the man's people also know Liu Zhiyu's father, so they specially ask not to hurt Liu Zhiyu and take him away.

The appearance of Liu Zhiyu did not affect the continuation of the wedding.

A few days later, Zhao Shengnan was in a meeting, when Zhao Dou called, Zhao Shengnan thought for a while, asked the others to continue the discussion, and then walked out of the conference room.

"Is there anything wrong with Doudou?" Zhao Shengnan spoke first.

"Sister, we found a painting when we were recording molecular money. Zhao Dou's voice came from there.

"Painting, what's the matter?" Zhao Shengnan wondered.

"I don't know who drew it, and I didn't leave a name, but you painted it. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, in the painting, you are sitting at the classroom desk reading a book, the painting is very good, exactly the same as the photo when you were studying, when will you come back to take a look?" Zhao Dou said truthfully.

Hearing Zhao Dou's description, Zhao Shengnan probably knew it in his heart, Zhao Shengnan tried his best to maintain a calm tone and said, "I'll come back and get it later." ”

"Well, okay, huh? There's a word in the corner of this painting. Zhao Dou also just noticed.

"What word?" Zhao Shengnan asked hurriedly.

"If life is only as it first seems. ”

Zhao Shengnan hung up the phone, returned to his office, looked up at the window and wept.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Jing sat on the sofa on the upper floor of the hotel, looking at the night scene in the distance.
