Chapter 21: Goodbye Liu Shimeng
Liu Shimeng came backstage for Peking Opera artists for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything.
In her impression, the backstage of the singers is very hurried, noisy and even chaotic, but when she came to Zeng Lihua's dressing room, she found that her mind was still in the old era.
Zeng Lihua's dressing room is very clean and tidy, and there are a lot of cosmetics on the table, but they are all in order.
Wigs, heads, and decorations are all neatly placed in their place.
On the other side, the ironcore hanger hung his costume, Liu Shimeng couldn't help but walk in the costume, looking at all kinds of exquisite costumes, she loved one of the pink water-sleeved shirts, and she didn't have to think about it to know that this must be the costume that played Du Liniang.
"Garden dream, Du Liniang's clothes! Is it? Liu Shimeng stroked carefully.
"You have a lot of vision, if you didn't say goodbye last time, you should have watched my performance, but unfortunately I haven't seen you since that day, I thought you were angry because of my recklessness!"
Zeng Lihua looked at Liu Shimeng's beautiful and focused side face, warm, thinking that she was finally back and came to his side.
Liu Shimeng raised her head slightly, her face was slightly red, and she looked at Zeng Li's face painted in the sun.
"It's so beautiful! I am fortunate to be invited by your great artist, how can I be angry, but I have some personal matters and have to go home! ”
"Haha! That's good, next time I invite you, it's hot in the house, do you still want to continue to wear cotton clothes? Zeng Lihua heard Liu Shimeng say this, and the stone in his heart was finally put down and relaxed.
"Huh! I seem to be stupid! Liu Shimeng smiled and took off her cotton clothes.
"You're not stupid, you're stupid! Come and sit here! Zeng Lihua quipped, took it casually, took the hanger and hung it, everything looked so decent and gentle, and after finishing it, he took a few oranges for Liu Shimeng.
"You have so many beautiful accessories and clothes, aren't you very popular?" Liu Shimeng asked curiously.
"It's not fire, I'm insignificant in the crowd! But I like Peking Opera very much, and I like it from the bottom of my heart! Zeng Lihua said modestly and put the peeled orange in Liu Shimeng's hand.
"Thank you! I can understand this feeling, just as I like to paint, if I am a human being, painting is my soul, and you are the same! ”
Liu Shimeng took it and looked at it, her heart was so warm that she seemed to have forgotten the desperate situation she was in.
"Yes! Dance, Peking Opera is my soul! The one who knows me is none other than Liu Shimeng! Zeng Lihua agrees very much, and his eyes release a strange light, maybe this is a like-minded person who cherishes each other.
"Pull it down! Don't bother me like that, I came to you today for something, and my former roommate said you took in my things? ”
"Yes, since you disappeared that day, I was quite worried about you, so I found your house, but you are not ......" Zeng Lihua briefly described the original story.
"Thank you!" Liu Shimeng was full of gratitude.
"I'm sorry to say I'm arrogant!" Zeng Lihua was a little embarrassed, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.
"It's not an assertive, you're good, thank you! Just please, help me keep it for the time being, I haven't found a place to live for the time being, so I have to trouble you! Liu Shimeng's face was slightly red, and her hands involuntarily clenched together.
"Ahh It's okay, I can, yes! Your house is rented out, so where are you staying temporarily? It's almost the New Year now? Zeng Lihua flashed the picture of the little match girl in his mind.
"It's okay! You'll find it soon! Liu Shimeng smiled cheerfully, as if she saw warmth and happiness in her.
"And where do you live now?" Zeng Lihua asked.
"Ahh I, I'm temporarily living in Sister Wang's house! Liu Shimeng was stunned, a little embarrassed, and could only tell a small lie.
"Really?" Zeng Li's painting flashed a trace of doubt.
"Hmmm! It's not early, I still have something to do, let's go first, in short, it's very troublesome for you! Liu Shimeng glanced at the time and stood up.
"Liu Shimeng...", Zeng left the painting.
"Huh?"
"Did something happen to you?" Zeng Lihua felt slightly uneasy in his heart.
"No, it's just a trip home, thank you for worrying about me! I'll go first! Liu Shimeng said.
After Liu Shimeng left, Zeng Lihua sat in the dressing room in a daze, as if everything that happened just now was a dream, but this dream was so real.
Zeng Lihua stood up and hurriedly got dressed, drove Li Chuang's car and went straight to Liu Shimeng's former residence.
He felt a little reckless, but the voice in his heart told him that he had to meet that Sister Wang, so he didn't care much and knocked on the door gently.
It was Sister Wang, who came out to open the door, who was sleeping in a daze, and she was very surprised when she saw Zeng Li's painting.
"Yo! Is that you? Mengmeng is not here! Sister Wang snorted.
"I'm sorry to bother you again, sister, I have something I want to ask you!" He left the painting and went straight to the subject.
"Then you come in first! It's so cold outside! Sister Wang let Zeng Lihua in.
Zeng Lihua felt very embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and walked in.
"What do you want to ask me?" Sister Wang poured a cup of hot water for Zeng Lihua and sat on a chair by the windowsill.
"Sister, is Liu Shimeng staying with you temporarily?"
"Stay with me? No! What did she tell you? Sister Wang wondered.
"Sister, that's what she said!" Zeng left the painting road.
Sister Wang didn't answer, but looked Zeng Lihua up and down for a long time, and that kind of eyes were like the eyes of a parent looking at his son-in-law, which made Zeng Lihua's cold hair stand on end, and his palms were sweating nervously.
"You're Mengmeng's boyfriend?"
"That's... Well, no, we're good friends! "I was embarrassed to leave the painting.
"Pull it down! Just your eyes, it's not that simple, I see that you are polite, and she is very suitable, I'll tell you! Something happened at home......... "Sister Wang said Liu Shimeng's matter again.
Zeng Lihua was dumbfounded when he heard it, his chest seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he was uncomfortable, and Liu Shimeng's tearful and pitiful appearance kept appearing in his mind.
"Then when she comes back this time, won't she have no money? Where is she staying now? ”
"Yes! Poor child, a girl alone in this strange city, pitiful! She only came back yesterday, and I heard that she lived in the studio! ”
When Zeng Li painted it, his whole body was cold, and the cold wind of Layue blew his body and his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, sighed softly, and thought to himself, how could such a beautiful girl as Liu Shimeng experience such a sad thing?
Thinking of the smile on her pale face, that smile touched her heart fiercely.
When Liu Shimeng returned to the studio, it was close to noon, the weather was not so cold, she stood at the door, took a deep breath, pressed all the sorrows in her heart in the depths of her heart, and showed a shallow and warm smile.
At this time, Teacher Lu was in class, and she saw through the crack in the door the children's serious and focused little faces, as well as Teacher Lu's hard-to-see smiles, and she smiled unconsciously.
Teacher Lu wandered among the children, occasionally picking up a paintbrush and adding a few strokes to the children's easels to tell the children how to draw.
When Liu Shimeng saw Teacher Lu's appearance, she couldn't help but think of Zeng Li's paintings dancing, and the kind of burning enthusiasm and sincerity she saw in them, this feeling made her want to cry a little, maybe this is the resonance of those who have dreams.
Teacher Lu looked up and saw Liu Shimeng, beckoned her slightly, and let her in.
Liu Shimeng smiled and gently pushed open the door and walked in.
"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu is back!" A big-eyed boy was the first to see Liu Shimeng, and immediately showed a childlike sincere smile.
When the children heard the boy's shout, they all recovered from their concentration and let out pure cheers, and some even stood up and hugged Liu Shimeng.
"Teacher Liu, why are you here? We miss you! ”
"Yes! If you don't come, we all miss you! ”
Liu Shimeng is holding a child in one hand, with a sweet and happy smile on her face, she loves to paint, and she loves every child here, for her, every one of their immature faces and dark eyes are vivid paintings.
In the past, she only wanted to be a painter, then she chose an art teacher for fun, and now she loves her profession and enjoys her profession, because only these innocent and lovely children will give the most sincere love.
Liu Shimeng put on an apron, took a paintbrush and began to paint with the children, she was surrounded by enthusiastic children in the middle, and the classroom that was silent just now was full of laughter.
Teacher Lu silently picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the warmest scene in front of him.
When Zeng Lihua came to the studio, Liu Shimeng had just sent off the last child, and stood at the door and happened to see Zeng Lihua wearing a thick down jacket.
He stood not far away and looked at Liu Shimeng in a daze, which made Liu Shimeng dream of amusement occasionally, in fact, they were not like each other at all, but Liu Shimeng had felt amusement on his body many times.
"Why are you here?" Liu Shimeng was a little surprised.
"I'm coming for you! I..."Zeng Lihua suddenly stopped, because of nervousness, but also because of sadness, he is a poet, every poet has a little sadness, a little amorous, he is the same, thinking of Liu Shimeng hesitating in the cold night, he is extremely uncomfortable.
"It's cold standing outside, come in!" Liu Shimeng gave up her position and invited Zeng Lihua into the room.
Zeng Lihua walked into the studio and saw the bearded man coming out with a dish, and the two of them looked at each other by chance, which would give people the illusion of a hero, and the key was that Mr. Lu's eyes looked like a hero looking at the villain.
Zeng Lihua has a depressed feeling, obviously he hasn't done anything bad, but ah!
"Teacher Lu, I'm sorry, he's my friend!" Liu Shimeng said.
"Have you eaten?" Teacher Lu asked.
"No..."Zeng Lihua seemed to have been clicked by Mr. Lu.
"Let's eat together!" Teacher Lu put the dish down.
"Thank you! No need, I have something to do with Liu Shimeng! Zeng Lihua relieved himself and looked at Liu Shimeng.
"What's the matter with me?" Liu Shimeng asked.
"I went to Sister Wang's house, and she told me about you, and I also knew that you were temporarily living in the studio, so... I... Can we talk about it individually? Zeng Li saw Mr. Lu's unkind gaze in the afterglow of the painting, and kept the following words.
"Okay, let's go to the studio!" Liu Shimeng glanced at Teacher Lu and took Zeng Lihua to the studio upstairs.
"What's wrong? Talking in a slurred manner, Mr. Voyeur is not a cowardly person! Leaving Teacher Lu's sight, Liu Shimeng also became lively.
"That teacher, how is it a bit like a hero in a martial arts novel!" Zeng Lihua's mood also relaxed, and quipped.
"Huh! Hush! Do you really want to say that he is very similar to Qiao Feng? Liu Shimeng said softly.
"Qiao Feng? It's still Hu Jun's version! Zeng Lihua said with a smile.
"Haha!" Liu Shimeng laughed heartily.
"Liu Shimeng, can you move to my house?" Zeng Lihua said suddenly.
