Chapter Twenty-Five: The Warmth of the Midnight

In the afternoon, Zeng Lihua was preparing his clothes in the dressing room, and in the afternoon there was a special performance for him, and it was a very physically demanding long silk, and he had to make sure that nothing went wrong and gave the audience a perfect stage performance.

Xiao Xin was wearing a Hua Dan costume, fluttering in front of Zeng Li's picture, and kept posing.

Zeng Lihua looked at Xiao Xin's funny and cute appearance, picked up his mobile phone and took photos continuously, so beautiful that Xiao Xin couldn't find the north.

"Teacher Zeng, you have been filming for a long time, do you see any eyebrows?" Xiao Xin rubbed his cheeks with both hands in front of Zeng Li's painting.

"Aren't you just stinky? You see I took several photos, Zhang Zhang is beautiful and moving! Zeng Lihua flipped through the photos in his mobile phone to show Xiao Xin, and he agreed with his photography skills.

"Oops! Teacher Zeng, didn't the slave family say you, you stupid Zhang Sheng who doesn't understand Fengyue, this girl has changed her head, shiny head, don't you see? Xiao Xin stared at the almonds with big eyes, gritted his back molars, crossed his waist with one hand, and stretched out his slender white index finger with one hand to point at Zeng Lihua.

Zeng Lihua looked at Xiao Xin's angry eyes, and then he suddenly realized, and looked at Xiao Xin carefully, and sure enough, today's Xiao Xin's head is crystal clear and shining.

"Yo! Pretty, new head, yes, it must be expensive, but it suits you very well, it's so beautiful! Zeng Lihua stretched out his hand and flicked it.

"Do you mean pretty heads, or am I pretty?" Xiao Xin asked again.

Zeng Lihua was actually asked, he was really boasting just now, and then he remembered that he didn't take care of the beauty.

"Haha! Of course, our little matchmaker Xiao Xin is the most beautiful! ”

"Cut! It's insincere at first glance, no wonder Li Chuang talked about one girlfriend after another, you don't have one, you say, you don't like women, right? When Xiao Xin asked this sentence, he suddenly covered his mouth and widened his eyes again.

Zeng Li glanced at Xiao Xin and said: "Don't worry, although I am a woman on the stage, I am indeed a man off the stage, and I like women!" ”

"Haha! Miss, you are so beautiful, what kind of girl should be worthy of you? No, my little matchmaker, deal with it, take you in! Xiao Xin blinked and discharged.

"Gotcha! Let's go cool! I'm not worthy of you! One day like a sparrow, noisy! "Zeng Lihua opened Xiao Xin.

"Humph! A beauty like me can cook and coax people, but I am a stunner in the world, and I don't have that shop in this village if I miss it, so I regret it! Now this girl is going to go shopping and cook a good meal for herself! Xiao Xin continued to joke.

"Huh! Little girl, go along! Hurry up and shop your belongings! Zeng Lihua gave Xiao Xin a big pomegranate, Xiao Xin caught it and left with a smile.

Zeng Lihua, who fell back into silence, watched the people coming and going in the streets and alleys, and suddenly remembered Liu Shimeng.

"I don't know about her... She shouldn't have any extra money to eat, right? Zeng Lihua muttered to himself.

"Am I being too nosy? Forget it, I'm a great good person to be able to take her in, and I shouldn't be too expensive......"

“…”

“…”

When he left the play for an hour, Zeng Li was painting and wearing makeup, rushed to the supermarket, quickly bought a bunch of vegetables and fruits, and rushed home in Li Chuang's small broken car, stacked the food on the table, left a note, and left quickly.

Once upon a time, looking at the bright full moon in the sky, I would feel that it felt lonely, in the vast dark night, only the stars were shining, and I could not see the green, the color of the flowers, and even the expression of everyone.

It is only in the dark that people can truly see themselves clearly and remove the mask that has been used year after year.

Only in the dark night can Liu Shimeng feel that her heart is crying, and she can feel the torment of longing.

The saddest thing in life is that when you love someone, it's like a bird that finds a tree that belongs to it and can rely on, but one day the tree is cut down and all traces disappear, and only the residual memories lick the desperate soul in the deepest pain.

There are no days of amusement, no time of amusement, Liu Shimeng is still an artist who loves life, but only he knows the sadness behind it.

Whenever in the cold night, hiding in the dark quilt and suffering, shouting and playing over and over again, Mom, waking up in tears again and again, and then staring and waiting for dawn.

If Yule's death was the biggest blow to her, then her mother's death was a fatal blow to her.

However, in the face of reality, in the face of his younger brother, and in the face of all the people he knows, he can only hide his inner fragility with a strong appearance.

Liu Shimeng sat on the covered bed, she liked this kind of pink, it looked clean and warm, and she was grateful to this man who had a helping hand when she was desperate.

When she got home from work, she went to the market to buy vegetables, and although she was very poor at this time, she had to remember not to owe anyone anything, even if she was poor.

However, when she stepped on the cold air and returned home, she saw the table full of food, and she didn't know what to do, and suddenly she had a very bad feeling.

"It's too late, trouble, help me throw away the leftovers in the fridge and put these in!" A note from Zeng Li's drawing.

Liu Shimeng could only do it, carefully clean up the refrigerator, throw away the old things, and classify the new food.

She is very satisfied with her current home, and she is lucky and satisfied to live under the same roof with a kind and good person.

Liu Shimeng looked at the time, at 23:05 at this time, Zeng Lihua had not returned, she walked out of the room again, combed her hair, rolled up her sleeves, she knew that Zeng Lihua came back late, she would definitely have an empty stomach, she could do limited, of course, cooking is what she is good at, in order to repay Zeng Lihua, she can only make some supper for him, in order to repay him for helping her.

After doing everything, Liu Shimeng picked up a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it, passing the time waiting for Zeng Li's painting.

Time ticked by, Zeng Lihua finally stepped on the moonlight and returned home, looking at the light from the window, his stiff and tired face, and finally smiled.

Maybe that's what home feels like! No matter how late it is, there will always be a light waiting.

The moment he opened the door, the light in the room illuminated his face, clean and tired.

But I was a little surprised to see the Euepiphyllum quietly blooming on the sofa.

"You're back!" Liu Shimeng put down the book in her hand and stood up.

"I'm back, why haven't you slept yet? It's late! ”

"Waiting for you!"

"Wait for me? Why? I'm a little flattered! ”

"I also made a late-night snack!" Liu Shimeng continued.

"I'm really shocked!" Zeng Lihua's expression disguised his inner surprise in an exaggerated way.

"Okay, don't pestle, change your clothes, eat, you must be hungry when you come back so late!" Liu Shimeng walked to the kitchen and brought out supper.

Zeng Lihua looked at the sumptuous supper, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, it had been a long, long time, or no one could send a bowl of soup when he came back in the dead of night.

This feeling made Zeng Lihua's nose a little sore, and he wanted to cry, and suddenly missed home.

"I'm going to change my clothes, thank you Shimeng!" Zeng left the painting road.

"Hmm!"

A few minutes later, Zeng Lihua returned to the living room again, sat opposite Liu Shimeng, looked at the plain girl, and felt very distressed.

"Actually, you don't have to be like that! It's too late, you should go to bed early! ”

"Actually, you don't have to do that, I live here, I'm lucky to meet you! I'll just come and buy groceries in the future! You do this, I don't know what to do! Liu Shimeng said.

"Poetry dreams! I went to see Sister Wang that day, and she told her about you, and I feel very sorry! You are at a low point now, it is fate that we can meet in Wisteria Wonderland, and it is a miracle that we can walk all the way! ”

"I help you, not for any purpose, and not because I pity you, but I want to give you the warmth of a stranger! I once came to this city, lonely and helpless, only relying on the work introduced by my friends to live humbly, I have felt helpless, I have felt lonely, poetry and dreams, you don't have to worry, spend this time in peace! You don't have to do that in the future! ”

Zeng Lihua finished what he wanted to say in one breath, he understood Liu Shimeng's psychology, and he also knew that his approach was excessive, but he had no way to control his thoughts, when he did everything, he only had one thought, that is, he couldn't let Liu Shimeng live a poor life.

"Thank you, I appreciate you! We haven't known each other for long, you will help me like this, you can rest assured, I will live well! I'll still make you supper in the future, and you'll spend it anyway! But I'll pay for food next month, so you can't fight with me! ”

Liu Shimeng is grateful to Zeng Lihua, and she can't refuse his sincerity.

Yule once said that she had enough of suffering when she was a child, and when she grew up, Lady Luck would always take care of her, and she would meet all the good people in the world.

"Haha! No problem! Zeng Lihua stretched out his hand.

Liu Shimeng understood, and slapped Zeng Lihua lightly, chatting with sincerity.

"By the way, are you going to the studio tomorrow?"

"Rest tomorrow, no need to go to the studio!"

"Haha! Why don't you accompany me to Zhongshan Big Brother Restaurant tomorrow! Give some advice or something! By the way, I'll take you to a meal, he's super skilled! can do ..............." Zeng Lihua was proud, and when he talked about Zhongshan, his eyes were full of greed

"Haha! When you say that, I feel embarrassed not to go? ”

"Shall you go?"

"If you don't dislike me for being clumsy, then go for it, it's boring at home anyway! But won't you go to the theater tomorrow? ”

"No itinerary tomorrow, no going! How about a capricious day, go to bed tomorrow morning, and then go? ”

"Yes, but the plan to sleep won't!" Liu Shimeng shook her head.

"Why?" I don't know why I left the painting.

"Because cleaning is the first thing tomorrow morning!" Liu Shimeng said solemnly.

"Cleaning? Isn't my house clean enough? Do I feel clean? Zeng swept away from the painting.

"What you think is clean is what you think, it doesn't mean it's really clean!" Liu Shimeng pointed out many dead ends one by one.

"............" had drunk the last mouthful of soup from the painting, and finally lay on the table and couldn't get up.
