Meanwhile, Xu Qingzhu was already listening intently to the piano music on the other side.
Xu Qingzhu maintained good posture, sitting upright with her arms casually resting on the armrests and her two slender legs together.
Soon, Liang Shi also became immersed in the concert.
And her way of expressing immersion is—sleeping.
After experiencing so much during the day, with the brain working at high speed for so long and the body feeling tired, the environment and atmosphere at this moment will make people relax.
Liang Shi also forgot when she lost consciousness. To the rhythm of the piano music, her head tilted and drooped, landing on the support.
Xu Qingzhu was still immersed in the piano music. This pianist was one of her favorites, ranking among the top in her heart.
The unpleasant mood she had after arguing with her father during the day gradually dissipated during the concert, but unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, her long brown hair fell down in front of her.
In a very strange posture.
Long hair covered half of her upper body, and then a head slowly landed on her shoulder.
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
Her attention was diverted, and she turned her head to look at Liang Shi.
Liang Shi's eyes were closed, his breathing was slow, his bright red lips were somewhat moist, and his whole face was very white.
Since she stopped wearing heavy makeup, she looks much more natural.
She looks even prettier than when she wears heavy makeup.
Xu Qingzhu had seen her up close before.
But they were all at home.
He seemed particularly nervous being outside right now.
There's a feeling of secretly watching and being afraid of being caught.
Liang Shi was not sleeping soundly either. The place where she had been hit by the handrail was still painful. She reached out and rubbed it in her dazed state, but quickly gave up.
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her sleeping face and slowly reached out to the spot where she had been bumped.
His fingers gently massaged her legs, and Liang Shi's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

When Liang Shi woke up again, the piano music in the concert hall had stopped.
The audience had all left, leaving only a few staff members cleaning up the mess.
Liang Shi sat up straight almost subconsciously, then glanced at the person beside him again and again.
Xu Qingzhu didn't react much. Seeing that Liang Shi was awake, she got up and said, "Let's go home."
Liang Shi: "..."
She pressed her temples, slightly annoyed.
However, Xu Qingzhu walked very fast and had already reached the entrance of the concert hall. She immediately got up and chased after her, but when she stood up, her legs were still a little weak, probably because she had really slept for quite a long time.
Liang Shi caught up with Xu Qingzhu and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
“Not long,” Xu Qingzhu said.
When Liang Shi walked out of the concert hall, he saw people coming and going outside, and many of them looked like they had just come out. Only then did he believe Xu Qingzhu's words.
Before she could even settle down, Xu Qingzhu said, "The concert is only an hour long, how long can you sleep?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Why does it feel like she's implying something?
But Liang Shi knew she shouldn't have done that, so she coughed softly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xu Qingzhu was surprised, "I didn't blame you."
“I blame myself,” Liang Shi said. “I promised to come and listen to the concert with you to cultivate our minds, but I slept for so long. It’s my fault.”
"No," Xu Qingzhu said. "You really didn't sleep for very long, maybe half an hour."
Liang Shi: "..."
The concert lasted an hour, and she slept for half an hour.
Half the time...
That was really wrong.
Liang Shi said guiltily, "How about I treat you to a movie next time to make up for it?"
Xu Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, "Are you really that guilty?"
Liang Shi nodded: "Yes."
“Then you…” Xu Qingzhu paused, then pointed to her shoulder and said, “Wash my clothes.”
Liang Shi: "...?"
Xu Qingzhu said casually, "You got your saliva on my shoulder."
Liang Shi: "???!!!"
How could that be?
She has very good sleeping habits!
But seeing Xu Qingzhu's confident assertion, she hesitated.
It must be true, right?
Xu Qingzhu doesn't seem to be lying.
After a two-second silence, Liang Shi said gently, "Okay, I'll hand wash it for you when we get back."
Xu Qingzhu stared at her for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Silly girl."
Liang Shi: "...?"
She had just woken up and was still a little dazed, but she believed Xu Qingzhu's words without a doubt.
But hearing her say that, he immediately felt uncomfortable and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
His tone carried a hint of reproach.
Xu Qingzhu laughed and said, "I was just teasing you. How long have you been asleep? How could you be drooling?"
Liang Shi was speechless: "Fine."
Xu Qingzhu noticed that something was wrong with her reaction and leaned closer to ask, "Are you angry?"
Liang Shi shook his head, but his tone was muffled: "No."
She walked forward, but Xu Qingzhu grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop.
Xu Qingzhu said, "You still say you're not angry? Who are you trying to fool with your attitude?"
Liang Shi remained silent.
After a long silence, she sighed, "I'm not angry with you."
"Then what are you doing?" Xu Qingzhu asked.
Liang Shi felt a little embarrassed to say this, so he hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"I'm angry with myself," Liang Shi said in a muffled voice. "I was the one who invited you to the concert first, but I fell asleep after a few minutes and even leaned on your shoulder, so you didn't get to enjoy it either. I..."
This was a source of psychological pressure for Liang Shi, who was used to not burdening others.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingzhu laughed upon hearing this, "Your way of thinking..."
She paused, and what she was going to say was "not so good" turned into "quite good, they are considerate of others."
Liang Shi: "..."
She said apologetically, "Xu Qingzhu, I'm so sorry. I'll make up for it with another concert."
Xu Qingzhu shook her head and said against her conscience, "Actually, I don't really like concerts either."
Liang Shi: "Oh? You were listening very attentively just now."
Xu Qingzhu said without blinking, "It's an act."
Liang Shi: "..."
Xu Qingzhu patted her on the shoulder, "Teacher Liang, if you really feel guilty, go buy me a cotton candy, and I'll forgive you."
Liang Shi: "?"
Not far away, there are vendors selling cotton candy, candied hawthorn, and various other snacks.
Liang Shi immediately ran over to buy it, but when he arrived there was only one string left, and another man wanted to buy it too.
Liang Shi and he spoke almost at the same time, "Boss, I want this cotton candy."
The boss hesitated, saying, "There's only one left."
Liang Shi was always easygoing, and in the past, when faced with this situation, he would have generously said, "Then let him have it."
But now it's not her who wants to eat, it's Xu Qingzhu.
Therefore, she cannot allow it.
Just as the words she had used to argue with the person were running through her mind, the other person said, "Give it to this young lady."
Liang Shi: "?"
She looked over, and the man scratched his head, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was in the concert hall just now."
Liang Shi then recognized him as the boy who had bumped into her before the show started.
He looks quite young; he's probably still in school.
A college student who can afford a concert costing 2,000 yuan must be a wealthy person.
Liang Shi didn't think much of it and thanked him.
He then opted to buy two candied hawthorns as a second choice, and Liang Shi offered to pay for them together. However, he paid for them before she did and even settled the bill for her.
Liang Shi: "..."
