After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

The old man’s experience is really sad.

Shen Li didn't know what to say to comfort her for a moment.

"The happiest time of my life was the first half of it. When I was young, I was loved by my parents, spoiled by my brother, and had a beloved man. I had a romantic love and was both talented and beautiful. It was a life that everyone envied. Who could have thought that things are so unpredictable?" The old man sighed and laughed at himself, "Who could have thought that the beautiful painter in Myeongdong would end up picking food from trash cans and eating it in her old age in such a miserable situation."

"There is always a way out." Shen Li sighed, and her pair of dark and bright eyes looked at the old lady in front of her tenderly, "Grandma, have you ever thought about passing on your lifelong painting skills?"

The old man laughed at himself and said, "Little girl, are you kidding me? I have no children, so where can I pass on my legacy?"

"Have you ever thought about taking in an apprentice?" Shen Li asked tentatively.

"Look at me now, I'm like a beggar. Who would want an old beggar to be their master?" The old man sighed. He looked at Shen Li with satisfaction and gratitude in his eyes. "In this world nowadays, everyone stays away from an old woman like me. Only you are so kind to save me."

"I have a daughter who loves painting. Can you teach my daughter to paint?" Shen Li said, "I can pay you. As for the amount, the price is negotiable."

"You have a daughter at such a young age?" The old man looked at Shen Li in disbelief. The girl in front of him was probably only about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had such a slender and good figure. She didn't look like she had given birth to a child.

"These are my boyfriend's children." Shen Li said, "I am the stepmother of two children."

"You are a kind-hearted girl. It is good enough if other stepmothers do not abuse their children. Why are you thinking of finding a painting teacher for your partner's child? It is a blessing for the child to have a stepmother like you!" The old woman said with a smile, and then she started coughing violently.

She was old and had suffered a lot during the Cultural Revolution. She was in very poor health and she knew that she didn't have much time left in her life.

If I could pass on this art of painting and have successors, my talent would not be buried and my life would not be in vain.

Shen Li quickly poured him a glass of water. She turned her back to the old lady and, without the old lady noticing, used her mind to get some spiritual spring water from space and put it into the cup. "Grandma, drink some water."

The old lady took the cup of water, coughed and nodded, "The child you mentioned, if you have time, bring her to me. I will see if she has a talent for painting."

"Okay." Shen Li's eyes lit up, her dark and moist almond eyes curved slightly, she curled her lips and smiled softly, "Grandma, don't worry, my little girl is very talented, she is a very well-behaved and lovely child."

"Yeah." The old lady nodded and took a big sip of water. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually felt that the water today was particularly sweet.

After drinking this large glass of water, I felt much more comfortable all over my body. I didn't feel so tired anymore and my spirits became better.

Maybe it was a reaction to meeting the girl in front of me, which made me feel better.

"Little girl, I don't even know your name."

"My last name is Shen Li." Shen Li said with a smile.

"My last name is Bai. From now on you can just call me Grandma Bai." Old Mrs. Bai said with a smile.

"it is good."

"It's getting late and it's dark outside. You should go back home so that your partner and children at home won't worry about you," said the old lady.

"Okay, then Grandma Bai, see you tomorrow?"

"Okay, I won't go anywhere tomorrow. I'll wait for you at home." The old lady smiled kindly.

And so Shen Li rode away on her bicycle.

When she arrived at the island, she happened to meet Lu Jingchuan who was about to go out to look for him.

"I was just about to go out to look for you." Lu Jingchuan looked at Shen Li with dark eyes full of worry, "Did everything go well today?"

"Well, it went quite smoothly." Shen Li stopped the car. Lu Jingchuan, who was standing beside her, naturally took over the handle of the car. He took a step with his long and powerful legs and sat easily on the seat, motioning the petite Shen Li beside him to sit in the back seat.

Shen Li sat in the back seat, her fair and soft arms wrapped around Lu Jingchuan's waist, but it was only a thin layer of cloth, so Shen Li's palms touched Lu Jingchuan's eight-pack abs, which were densely and tightly packed.

Shen Li couldn't help but pinch it gently with her slender fingers. It was hard, harder than stone.

The man rode his bicycle and took a deep breath.

Shen Li felt that the abdominal muscle she was pinching was becoming increasingly stiff and firm, and she felt that the man's entire back was becoming tense and stiff as a result.

“Li Li,” the man’s voice seemed thick and hoarse in the night, and a little ambiguous, “You are playing with fire.”

Realizing what he was saying, Shen Li quickly moved her hand away. In the night, Shen Li's face was red and a little hot. "I just wanted to try the feel of it."

"I'll let you try it in bed later." The man's voice was hoarse and a little hot, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.

These few short words made Shen Li's face feel hot and spicy.

The night sky was covered by a black curtain, dotted with shining stars of different sizes, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silver glow on the earth.

Lu Jingchuan, with his tall and broad body, was riding a bicycle with his petite and beautiful wife behind him. The sea breeze blew, and Shen Li's skirt fluttered slightly. Under the dim incandescent light, the shadows of the two were cast on the ground. The two figures, one tall and mighty, and the other petite and slender, were full of visual impact.

Looking at the two overlapping figures on the ground, Shen Li slowly hugged Lu Jingchuan's waist and put her little face against the man's broad back.

She felt at ease being with Lu Jingchuan.

Lu Jingchuan always gave her a feeling of security and assurance, as if she was being protected by a powerful beast.

Under the moonlight, the man's cold and resolute face softened a little.

Soon Lu Jingchuan rode his bike to the house. Lu Jingchuan parked the bike in the small yard and got out of the back seat holding Shen Li.

"I can come down by myself." Shen Li said in a soft voice.

Lu Jingchuan's long, slender arms held Shen Li's slender waist and carried her into the house step by step. "You've been busy all day. You've been very tired. I'll carry you in."
