She felt that Liang Shi was simply after Xu Qingzhu's beauty, and that he would lose interest once he got tired of her.
People like Liang Shi, like Cheng Ran, lack sincerity.
This was the feeling Liang Wanwan had when she first saw Xu Qingzhu and Liang Shi standing together.
Liang Shi was even indifferent to Xu Qingzhu; his eyes remained gloomy and cold, and his face showed no emotion.
Unexpectedly, from last night until now, the two of them have given her the feeling that they are a couple deeply in love.
They would glance at each other no matter what they did, and speak softly, giving the small house an ambiguous warmth.
They clearly haven't said or done anything excessive, yet they always make you feel like you're in a greenhouse, and even just watching their eye contact feels sweet.
Compared to the Liang Shi she had seen at the bar, this man was more gentle and down-to-earth.
I don't know if Xu Qingzhu brought it to her.
Liang Wanwan hadn't intended to look for Liang Shi last night, but when she unconsciously walked onto the Yujiang Bridge, the river wind blew in her face, making her shiver with cold.
She suddenly remembered what Liang Shi had once told her, "No matter what, I'm still your sister, so I'm definitely more reliable than outsiders."
Liang Shi stood up for her back then, and even after that, he still had that same indifferent expression when he saw her again.
She was extremely puzzled and asked Liang Shi why he did this.
Liang Shi said this.
Since Chen Mian was involved, Liang Wanwan contacted her.
Many people know Chen Mian, but they don't know how much connection there is between Liang Wanwan and Chen Mian.
But these connections were brought to him by Liang Shi.
Liang Wanwan really wanted to talk to someone about Chen Mian, but after making the phone call, all she could do in front of Liang Shi was to complain aggrievedly: "She washed Chen Mian's picture album."
Yes, for her, it was nothing more than a feeling that could not be spoken aloud and could only remain in her heart.
She hadn't seen Chen Mian for so long that she had almost forgotten what Chen Mian looked like.
Seeing Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu together, she was reminded of Chen Mian once again.
Chen Mian likes to wear black shirts. She has a good figure and looks particularly elegant in black shirts.
Her face wasn't particularly striking, and her eye shape was average, but the mole under her eye added a touch of charm, making her unforgettable at first glance.
Liang Wanwan held a cup of hot water in her hands, placed them on the cup, and blew away the rising steam. Her voice was earnest as she said, "Sister, you must treat Qingzhu well."
Liang Shi was completely bewildered.
She had no idea that in such a short time, Liang Wanwan had gone through a brainstorming session.
Faced with Liang Wanwan's words, Liang Shi could only play along and reply, "Of course I'll treat my own wife well."
Liang Wanwan laughed: "You'd better be."
This was the first smile she showed since I saw her last night.
Liang Shi felt a little more relaxed, at least he didn't have the same gloomy face as before.
Liang Wanwan was introverted and would not make any requests to Liang Shi. She even felt guilty after staying overnight at home. In the morning, when she had nothing to do, she helped with the cleaning, but Liang Shi did not let her do any of it.
Besides, there's not much to do at home.
Liang Shi cleaned his house very diligently. Despite its small size, he tidied up as needed, keeping the house spotless at all times.
Seeing that she was really restless, Liang Shi found a stack of A4 paper and handed it to Liang Wanwan, saying, "You can draw for a while. The river view here is quite beautiful."
Since there were no sketching pens at home, Liang Wanwan used ballpoint pens to draw.
But the painting doesn't depict a river scene; it's of Liang Shi.
Liang Shi will soon be joining a film crew. Recently, Zhao Ying has been so exhausted that she rarely posts on WeChat Moments. One night, she even sent Liang Shi a WeChat message at 3 AM, saying she hadn't finished work yet, and sent him a picture of the set at night. She then asked Liang Shi: "Why did I ever think of entering this industry and drag you into it?"
The next day, when Liang Shi woke up, he replied: "[Because of love.]"
Zhao Ying replied instantly: [I just arrived at the hotel, and I've discovered I love sleeping even more.]
A few seconds later, another message appeared: "To hell with all that passion! I'm going home to pursue my dreams!"
This line looked familiar, and as Liang Shi recited it, he sang it out.
It was only later that I discovered it was a non-mainstream hit song that was popular during my student days.
Different worlds, same youth.
Liang Shih laughed for a long time.
But it will soon be her turn, because the director of this drama is strict and aims to win awards. In order to meet the broadcast schedule of the platform, it has to be filmed in a month and a half, and it is a 36-episode drama.
It's too difficult.
In situations like this, working the night shift is perfectly normal, and all staff members need to work together to overcome the difficulties.
Liang Shi said he understands, but his body might not be able to withstand it at that time.
She used to film night scenes and stay up late, but after transmigrating, Xu Qingzhu's schedule was too good. She would fall asleep before 11 p.m., except for the period when she first entered Minghui. Even so, Liang Shi did not stay up with her and always maintained a normal schedule.
After more than two months of maintaining a normal sleep schedule, she now feels incredibly tired the next day if she stays up late.
Her body couldn't support her returning to her old, upside-down lifestyle.
I imagine it'll be tough when they first join the crew.
But the most important issue now is the script.
When the director brought her back, he said that she should memorize all her lines when she had time, so that she wouldn't have to rehearse them several times during filming, otherwise he would really get angry.
Liang Shi readily agreed.
Since she had some free time, she started memorizing her lines. The most important thing was to understand the relationships between the characters and the scenes, and then memorize them according to the context.
She was very serious when she was memorizing, and in order not to disturb Liang Wanwan, she memorized it silently.
The painting Liang Wanwan drew depicts her intently reading the script.
Her long, brown, curly hair was casually tied back with a black hair tie. She wore light-colored loungewear, with the long sleeves rolled up to reveal her forearms. She wore a shimmering silver bracelet on her wrist. Her eyes were lowered as she intently looked at the page filled with dense text, a black pen held between her slender fingers.
Her fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles, yet they looked very soft.
The pen twirled casually between her fingers, and the cold sunlight streaming in through the window made her appear gentle and beautiful.
Like a quiet ink painting.
Liang Wanwan picked up her pen and started drawing. The ballpoint pen naturally affected her performance, but she did not slack off just because it was a ballpoint pen.
On the contrary, she can concentrate better in a quiet space. Once she enters the state of painting, it is as if she switches to a sage mode and immerses herself in her own world.
Her writing is almost flawless.
After finishing drawing Liang Shi carefully, he turned the drawing face down and set it aside, then took a blank sheet of paper.
Liang Wanwan wanted to paint a picture of Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu together, because it was so beautiful.
Two beautiful people standing there are like a painting.
But when I was thinking about it, I felt that each scene was equally beautiful, so it was difficult to decide which scene to draw.
I pondered for a long time, feeling conflicted and hesitant.
But as soon as I put pen to paper, that scene appeared on the page, moving from my mind.
That was the scene from this morning when the two of them stood in the entryway, and Xu Qingzhu tiptoed and leaned forward to wipe the dirt off Liang Shi's collar.
Xu Qingzhu looked serious, and Liang Shi looked down at the tip of her hair, just one centimeter away from kissing her.
It's the perfect ambiguous distance.
At that moment, the two seemed to automatically form their own little world.
No one can break in.
//
Liang Shi didn't actively look at Liang Wanwan's painting, but he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye when he got up.
I discovered that she was drawing herself and Xu Qingzhu, and even though she was using a ballpoint pen, she drew a lot of atmosphere.
Liang Shi was amazed by her talent for painting, and also by her keen insight.
This scene was nothing more than a common occurrence in their daily lives, but Liang Wanwan painted it with great beauty.
Liang Shi glanced at it silently, put away the script, and went back to his room to change his clothes.
It's getting late.
She had to take Liang Wanwan out for a meal and then send her back to her dorm.
However, I didn't want to disturb Liang Wanwan while she was painting.
But when she finished changing her clothes and came out of the room, Liang Wanwan had also changed her clothes and neatly folded Xu Qingzhu's pajamas that she had worn the night before and placed them on the headboard of the second bedroom.
The blankets in the second bedroom were also laid out very neatly, not at all like someone had slept in them.
It must be said that Qiu Zimin is indeed very good at education.
Whether it's Liang Xinzhou, Liang Xinhe, or Liang Wanwan, they all have their own strengths, and these strengths completely outweigh their weaknesses.
Liang Wanwan was still wearing the same thin shirt she wore yesterday.
Today, Haizhou City is not much better than yesterday. The temperature is still close to zero. Xu Qingzhu wore a thick woolen coat when she went out today.
Liang Shi's clothes are too big and not suitable for Liang Wanwan to wear.
Xu Qingzhu bought clothes in a small size, which could barely fit Liang Wanwan, so Liang Shi sent Xu Qingzhu a message asking if she had any thick clothes suitable for Liang Wanwan.
After sending the message, Liang Shi thought it might take Xu Qingzhu a long time to reply, but to his surprise, Xu Qingzhu replied instantly.
She can find what she needs in the closet; she can wear almost anything.
Xu Qingzhu's reply was devoid of warmth, delivered in a purely businesslike tone.
But Liang Shi was used to it; she always answered questions concisely at work. Suddenly remembering what Liang Xinzhou had asked her to do the night before, she added, "Then remember to ask about Xu Kang, okay?"
After saying that, she quickly added, "You're busy, I won't disturb your work."
Xu Qingzhu: [...]
A moment later, Xu Qingzhu sent a message: [Teacher Liang, Sally said you have some tea.]
