Zhongshan listened to Zeng Li's description and almost squirted out the wine he drank in, but fortunately, Zeng Lihua's eyes were quick and he blocked it with a tissue.

"You two are really self-inflicted, and you can't live! Came up with such an idea! Zhongshan pointed at Zeng Lihua and scolded.

"What can I do? It's not that I'm afraid my dad will get sick! I'm scared! "Zeng Lihua frowned.

"Leaving the painting, don't you like poetry and dreams very much? Why not take the opportunity to cook raw rice and cooked rice! In my opinion, you have been together for a while, and you already have feelings, but you haven't understood it yet! "Chungsan-do.

"Brother, Shimeng is a good girl, she has her own ideas, I can't take advantage of others, I like her very much, but I know that I can't force her!"

"Shimeng is a good girl, you have to be brave in pursuit! Don't miss your chance! Chung Shan said earnestly.

Zeng Lihua understood that Zhongshan was thinking about himself, and he also liked Liu Shimeng very much, if he could, he would like to really marry Liu Shimeng, but the reality told him that he couldn't.

Zhongshan invited his great-father to drink, but he didn't know what was discussed, which made the old man happy.

But the final decision made Zeng Lihua very satisfied, that is, they held a simple engagement ceremony in Qingping first, and then held a large wedding when everyone had time, and the stubborn great-father actually agreed.

Once the date was set, the great-father began to organize the engagement ceremony, although it was not too cumbersome compared to marriage, but the great-father did take it seriously.

Mr. Lu stood in front of the window sadly and gloomily looking at Zeng Lihua who was talking to Liu Shimeng, although he rarely asked about Liu Shimeng's private life, it did not mean that he was indifferent, when he knew the news that Liu Shimeng was going to get engaged, he suddenly felt a blow to the head.

At night, Teacher Lu did not let Liu Shimeng go home early, but stopped her.

"Mengmeng, we've known each other for a long time, and we haven't eaten together a few times! Why don't you finish dinner with me today? When Teacher Lu said this, the expression on his face softened a lot.

"Teacher Lu, I'm sorry, I'm ...... today" Liu Shimeng was in a hurry to go home.

"Mengmeng, today is my fortieth birthday!" Teacher Lu said embarrassedly.

"Ahh Liu Shimeng exclaimed and covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, then, I wish you a happy birthday first! I didn't even have a gift ready! Liu Shimeng was embarrassed.

"I don't need a gift, I just want you to finish my meal with me!" Teacher Lu smiled.

"Okay, then I'll make a call!" Liu Shimeng said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Teacher Lu's dark color was slightly dark, but he still nodded in agreement.

In the western restaurant with a soft atmosphere, Mr. Lu and Liu Shimeng sat opposite each other across the table, and the atmosphere looked a little awkward.

Teacher Lu is not good at words, often with a hero's face and a girl's hand.

And Liu Shimeng was still a little nervous in the face of such a man.

"Mengmeng, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday! In fact, I've long been used to being lonely, but today I don't want to go past silently like this, and I want to find someone to accompany me! Teacher Lu said.

"Teacher, it's an honor to accompany you on your birthday, although this cake looks a little small, but my little heart, I wish the teacher a happy birthday!" Liu Shimeng said.

"You're enough!" Teacher Lu smiled.

Liu Shimeng put a candle on it, lit it, sang a birthday song, and Mr. Lu's birthday dinner began.

Teacher Lu seems to be in a good mood tonight, he has been smiling and drinking, Liu Shimeng is smiling, and the atmosphere finally seems to be no longer embarrassing.

"Mengmeng, You've been gone for a long time, and you've started a new life, right?" Mr. Lu asked a serious question.

"Huh! Yule has not left me, he has always been with me, right by my side, with him, it is my new life! Liu Shimeng stopped eating the cake and said quietly.

"But you've got that man!" Teacher Lu was puzzled.

"Which man? Away from the painting? Liu Shimeng raised her head and frowned slightly.

"Hmmm! Yes, aren't you in a relationship? Teacher Lu said.

"In love? How so? You misunderstood, I said, I only love to play alone, how can I fall in love with someone else! Liu Shimeng smiled softly.

"I heard that you're going to be engaged to him, isn't that love?" Teacher Lu was confused.

"It's not what you think, we're acting!" Liu Shimeng said again.

"Acting? I don't understand! Teacher Lu spread his hands and said.

"Huh! There is a parent who has been forced to get married, if he can't find a girlfriend, the two old people won't leave, and they just think I'm the best candidate, so they forced us to get married, so we discussed, first fake marriage to deceive, and when they leave, we have a separate one! Liu Shimeng told the truth.

"Really?" Teacher Lu asked incredulously.

"Of course it's true! How could I joke about my life's events, in order to help poor Lihua, that's it! Liu Shimeng explained with a smile.

"You guys are so daring, you can come up with such a bad idea, don't throw yourself into it!" Teacher Lu said helplessly, looking at Liu Shimeng meaningfully.

"Mr. Lu, this is the first time I've eaten with you alone, and now you're different from the studio!" Liu Shimeng secretly observed Mr. Lu, although it was the face of a hero, he was a little more cute at this time.

"Where is the difference, I have always been like this!" Teacher Lu asked.

"Hmmm! Not so serious anymore! Very charming! Liu Shimeng smiled.

"Haha! Don't hurt me, forty-year-old man, what's the charm! That's why you praise me! Teacher Lu smiled lightly.

"Teacher, are you going to be lonely like this forever? Why don't you find a lover to marry? Liu Shimeng asked, this was not the first time she had asked.

In the past, Yule also asked, he was painting beautiful women's paintings at the time, and he replied that his lover was painting, and he had already given his soul to painting, and as long as he picked up the paintbrush, he had a feeling of love.

At this time, Mr. Lu quietly looked at Liu Shimeng for a few minutes and pondered for a long time before saying: "In the past, when I was young, my painting skills were not good, because I loved painting, traveled all over the world, and only pursued the perfection of painting. ”

"Actually, I used to love, when I was in school, I loved a girl, she was my classmate, she was very beautiful, big eyes, very white skin, we painted together, walked together, she said that she liked the way I painted the most, and would always love, but unfortunately we broke up later!"

"Broke up? Why? Liu Shimeng asked.

"Huh! Because I'm poor! You should know that we didn't achieve anything at the beginning of painting, we were very poor! Teacher Lu said again.

"We love inseparably, love desperately, but unfortunately in the end we still lost to reality, her mother thought I was poor and forced her to break up with me, and finally married another senior classmate in my class, very happy!"

"When I looked at her crying back, I felt very uncomfortable, and even vowed to make a appearance, and then I went to the ends of the earth, specializing in painting, in times of pain, only painting does not abandon me, does not give up on me, so I paint like crazy, and even regard painting as my lover!"

"Sure enough, the hard work paid off, I succeeded, became a famous painter, made a lot of money, and forgot the sadness of the past, but now I feel lonely and want to find a girlfriend!"

Teacher Lu raised his glass and took a sip, looked out the window, and then turned to Liu Shimeng.

"Teacher, he is a very powerful painter and a very charming person, I believe you will definitely meet your love!"

"Will it? Poetic dreams? Teacher Lu looked at Liu Shimeng with deep eyes.

"Hmm!"

"Actually, I met someone I liked, she was very understanding, I like to see her smile, but unfortunately we are too far apart!" Teacher Lu said again.

"Oh? Have I seen her? So where are you going? Liu Shimeng was a little surprised, and couldn't help but gossip.

"Of course I've seen it, it's a lot worse, it's far away, so I can only look at her from afar, look at her, and hope she's happy! It's nice to see her laughing! Teacher Lu looked at Liu Shimeng and said sincerely.

"Teacher Lu is so great, if you love her, you can pursue her bravely!"

"Okay, it's not early, you should go home early and rest!" Teacher Lu smiled slightly and stood up.

"Oh!" Liu Shimeng was a little depressed.

Walking out of the restaurant, Mr. Lu and Liu Shimeng stood on the street, watching the vehicles passing by in the distance.

"Dream dreams! Thank you for accompanying me for my birthday, today is so lively and happy, very happy! ”

"You're welcome, I hope it's your lover who will give you your birthday next time! And not your students! ”

"Will it?" Teacher Lu asked.

"I mean, will she love me? Probably not, maybe the man next to her is more suitable than me! Teacher Lu said again.

"Oh? Teacher, as long as you are sincere, you will definitely be moved, I believe in you! Liu Shimeng stretched out her hand and clenched it into a fist to indicate that she would come on.

"Alright, let's go home quickly!" Teacher Lu stopped a drop car and stuffed her in, Liu Shimeng smiled and waved, closed the car door and left.

"Mengmeng, you must not know, the person I love is you, the difference between you and me is not only age, but also him, will you love me? No way? ”

"Lu Qiaosheng, should you go? Leave her, forget her? Teacher Lu stood on the road and looked at Liu Shimeng, who had long since disappeared, muttering to herself, full of loss.

Needless to say, no need to compare, he can't get Liu Shimeng's love.

Zeng Lihua stood at the intersection of the community and waited for Liu Shimeng, it was already late, and he was a little uneasy.

Since Liu Shimeng came to him, she had never come home so late, although she had called, she still couldn't sit still, so she could only go out and wait.

I don't know how long I waited, Liu Shimeng got off the drop car and saw the back of Zeng who was far away from the painting, and he didn't have to guess, he could recognize him at once.

"Leave the painting!" Liu Shimeng shouted and walked towards him quickly.

Zeng Lihua turned around and saw Liu Shimeng's figure, and finally smiled, they approached, looked at each other, and smiled silly.
