After a fierce battle, the comrades-in-arms finally regained their calm.

Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng seem to have become accustomed to the atmosphere here, and even if the restaurant closes, they will still join in the preparations for tomorrow.

"Teacher Zeng, when are you getting married? Are they all too small? Xiao Cui and Ming Yan surrounded Zeng Li's painting, making eye contact with each other.

"Yes! This spring is over, and we haven't drunk wedding wine for a long time! Mingyan joked.

"That's right! That's it! A good girl like Shimeng, there will be no such shop in this village after this village! Xiao Cui said again.

Zeng Lihua was teased by Xiaocui and Mingyan, and his face was red, and he quietly glanced at Liu Shimeng, who was helping the cook, and he didn't know if she heard it or had any thoughts in her heart.

"You two eight women, Shimeng and I are good friends, the purest good friends, how can you think like that!" Zeng Lihua defended.

"Yo Yo! I don't admit that there is no pure friendship between men and women in the world! A man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, don't they just make a couple? Xiao Cui gave a thumbs up to her hands and touched them together.

"Shut up! Eight women, talk nonsense, I'll take back the two sets of imported cosmetics in the house! Zeng Lihua was extremely depressed, and directly took snacks to block their mouths.

"Oh my God! Don't say it sooner! Xiaocui and Mingyan also returned to the back room as if they were flying away, forgetting about the matchmaker business just now, and devoting themselves to makeup and beauty.

Zeng Lihua looked at the two sisters so cute and sincere, and showed a knowing smile, just because they have a kind, sincere and lovely heart.

"What did they just say? I think you seem embarrassed? Liu Shimeng came over with the dishes.

“… Yes! It's nothing, just praise me for being handsome! "Zeng Lihua can only be sloppy.

"Haha! What narcissism! Hurry up and serve the dishes, Brother Zhongshan is almost done! Liu Shimeng said.

"Great!" Zeng left the painting and went into the kitchen.

When Zhongshan brought back the last dish, there were only three people left in the restaurant: Zhongshan, Liu Shimeng, and Zeng Lihua.

Xiaocui and Mingyan were very eye-catching, knowing that their three good friends hadn't seen each other for many days, they each found an excuse to leave, leaving this rare quiet time for them.

Zhongshan sat on the main seat, looking at the two in front of him with a smile, full of joy.

"Brother, today's table is all my newly researched dishes, signature dishes, you are not here in this paragraph, you didn't eat it, make up for it today, you try the fish I made, and this Suhua Qingzhou elbow, everyone can approve it!"

"Zhongshan, you're also a cow, how long has it been, and how many signature dishes have you changed?" Zeng Lihua stretched out his thumbs and praised it.

"What is this, to be able to make a new style of food for guests, this is my achievement! Brother! You're finally back, and I'm going to miss you if you don't come back! Chungyama said again, his expression was very cheerful and sincere.

"Haha! As for it? Do you miss me not coming to work? ”

"Stinky boy, am I that kind of person? Besides, if you do that kind of work, you might as well be alone! Isn't it a girl? Chungsan turned his head and said.

"Huh! Brother Zhongshan, what you said is true, it is true! Liu Shimeng smiled, and kept busy picking fish bones for Zeng Li's paintings.

"Shimeng, we live under one roof! I'm still your landlord! Zeng Lihua raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily.

"Haha! Now Shimeng is my sister! Chungsan was triumphant.

"Ahh When did you get so close! Zeng Lihua was surprised.

"You are busy performing every day, what do you know, during the winter vacation, I have nothing to do, so I will come to Brother Zhongshan to help, and when you are not there, Brother Zhongshan will also send me food, and over time I will become familiar with it!" Liu Shimeng said.

"I see, I missed so much wonderful content!" Zeng Li painting is a little jealous.

"Brother, this is fate! If the two of us hadn't become neighbors, how could we have the fate of sitting at the same table and eating the same dish today! For this, let's have a drink! Zhongshan was smiling, like a warm spring breeze.

"There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side, thank you Brother Zhongshan for taking care of us, cheers for this!" Zeng Lihua was extremely moved, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart Since he met Liu Shimeng, his life has gradually changed.

The two men Zeng Lihua and Zhongshan once again drank heartily, unrestrained, telling big and small things, enjoying the future, and talking endlessly.

Liu Shimeng was the only one who was not drunk, and sat patiently next to the two of them.

After a full meal and wine, Zhongshan, who had left the painting, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at each other, and smirked.

"Wait a minute, I'll cook the decanting soup!" Liu Shimeng said and stood up.

"Sister Shimeng, don't go, my brother has something to say! Sit down! Zhongshan took Liu Shimeng's hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"Okay, I'm not leaving, okay!" Liu Shimeng shook helplessly and sat down again.

"Sister, leave the painting, we are good neighbors, good friends, good buddies, I treat you as my brother and sister in my heart! We're all good people! ”

"Brother Zhongshan, we are all honest people, and we are all good here..."Zeng Li said with his hand on his chest.

"So, my brother told you, I know a little bit about poetry and dreams, and I also know about you, you are all bitter people, hard-working people, meeting is fate, it is God, no, it is arranged by the old moon, you two are poetic, you should be together, you will be happy together, poetry and dreams, it is not easy, a little girl stays here alone in order to protect love, capable people! Leaving the painting, you have to take good care of her and take care of her for a lifetime! ”

In the eyes of others, what Zhongshan said was drunk and drunk, but there was also a good saying, he spit out the truth after drinking, between Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng, he has always looked at it in his eyes.

In their mouths, they are good friends, and the next level of metaphor is confidantes, but Zhongshan knows in his heart that even if they don't say it, they already have each other's existence in their hearts, and the reason why they have been stagnant is because of another thin veil separating it, and when this veil is lifted, it is a quiet, warm and beautiful love.

"Brother Zhongshan, you drank too much, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Shimeng's heart was confused, and she was a little embarrassed.

Zeng Lihua looked at Liu Shimeng in a daze, hoping to see something in her expression.

"No, I'm not talking about drunkenness, you are all people who have been hurt by love, and you are both kind people, shouldn't you be put together? There is a saying that I can't say, that is, injured people can heal each other, and wouldn't it be good to heal together? ”

Liu Shimeng glanced at Zeng Li's painting, and the gaze in her eyes was a little embarrassed and a little melancholy.

Liu Shimeng didn't know that Zeng Lihua was a good person, nor did she not know Zhongshan's intentions, but she knew very well in her heart that she would not fall in love with anyone again, including the very good Zeng Lihua, maybe this kind of refusal was very decisive and cruel, but it could only be chosen this way, and it was also the fairest for Zeng Lihua.

"Brother Zhongshan, thank you, I know that you care about us, and I am very good friends with Lihua! It's getting late, we're leaving, so you can pack up and sleep tonight! Liu Shimeng felt a little uncomfortable.

On the way home, Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua didn't say a word, and she didn't know how to face Zeng Lihua.

Zeng Lihua knew in his heart that although Liu Shimeng's choice was very lost, he could also understand her approach, since he couldn't give it, why give people hope, if he replaced himself, maybe he would be so decisive.

"I'm sorry to leave the painting! Today I ......" Liu Shimeng said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, we're friends in the first place, and you're right! They know that there is a lot of trouble, don't take it to heart! It's getting late, I'm a little drunk, so I'm going to take a shower first! Zeng Lihua was a little relaxed, shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Alright! It's better to rest early! Liu Shimeng nodded.

Zeng Lihua walked into the bathroom with some soft legs and closed the door.

Liu Shimeng looked at his disappearing shadow, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, why was she so uncomfortable, why did she feel that he was pitiful?

Zeng Lihua turned on the shower and let the water pour on his body, and the warm feeling made his body and mind find a sense of belonging.

For Liu Shimeng's refusal, he didn't care at all, he was really sad in his heart, he really liked this different girl.

After a few months of getting along day and night, he had already regarded Liu Shimeng as a part of his life, and the days of performing outside were very tormenting for him, just because he was worried about whether she ate well and slept well, and sometimes he picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call her, or send her a message, but finally he held back.

For such a feeling, isn't it what is liked?

Zeng Lihua finished washing, sat at the desk in pajamas, opened the poetry collection, and saw Xin Qiji's poem "A thousand gold is like a fu, who will tell you about this situation", and there was a little sadness.

He sighed lightly, picked up the pen and wrote the paper, and a poem was presented in the moonlight.

I know you're in a hurry

It's not about chrysanthemum residual tea

I like the colorful glow on the horizon

It's not that the chrysanthemum residue tea tastes rusty

It's that the colorful glow on the horizon is so delicate

took care of the brilliance of Caixia

But there is time to taste the fragrance of chrysanthemum tea

A hint of coolness was disturbed by the wind

The water of the lake under the covered bridge

The microwave ripples reflect the beauty of the colorful glow

It is not more beautiful than the stars in the sky

I just want to be the wasteland of my heart

Plant beautiful hyacinths

Come to hope for the miracle of meeting in this life

Euphemistic and subtle eyes stretched out into the distance

Hope and miracles

In which direction it is worth staying

Sit under the acacia tree at the intersection

Thinking about the heart

Will you be able to understand it?

The cool chrysanthemum residual tea diluted its fragrance

The glow faded in the night

Will you stay in the twilight and refuse to leave?

Will you remember the pale chrysanthemum in a cold teacup"

Zeng Lihua, who put down the pen, looked at the poem for a long time again, as if the whole person had collapsed, maybe this is what it looks like to be trapped by love, he really fell in love again, and it may be an unrequited love.
