Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

Li Shi'an was a little surprised, but felt that it was reasonable. After all, Lao Yu was not young. He expressed his joy and asked, "Who is Mrs. Mistress, and you don't bring me acquaintance?"

Lao Yu smiled and said, "You know it, Lu Fei."

"Lu Fei?" Li Shi'an opened his eyes wide. He thought that Lao Yu and Lu Fei had broken up long ago.

Lao Yu nodded: "Actually, Lu Fei and I have never disclosed our relationship. I have always been pursuing her. I didn't have the courage to ask her if she agrees. When my father was diagnosed with illness, I sold the house and gradually alienated her. , my father was seriously ill and didn’t survive for three months. After he passed away, Lu Fei came to my hometown to find me and asked me why I didn’t come back. Wouldn’t it be a long-distance relationship if I didn’t come back? She didn’t guarantee that she would be able to How long will it last?"

Li Shi'an smoked one puff at a time, watched the smoke rings drift away, and listened to Lao Yu's story about him and Lu Fei.

"But at that time, all my money was given to my father to see a doctor. I couldn't come back, so I went to my friend's place to do design for a year." Lao Yu pointed to the sign at the door and said, "Didn't I just come back and reopen the studio? Well, can you help me with my students?"

Li Shi'an took a deep puff of the cigarette, he couldn't tell whether it was envy or what, he just said: "It's not good, I'm not a professional, so I misled my son.

Lao Yu asked back: "Who said that if you fail the exam, you are not professional?"

Li Shi'an smiled and patted Lao Yu on the shoulder, didn't agree, didn't say no, just smoked quietly.

Li Shi'an was studying the major that Li Qishan wanted him to study. In fact, college life was relatively idle, but he never picked up a paintbrush again.

I have persisted in my hobby for nearly ten years, but I have not been able to pick it up because of a one-year delay. Many times it is because of lack of courage, because I know that I may never deal with paintbrushes in this life.

In the case of falling out with Li Qishan, Li Shi'an was still very moved when Lao Yu mentioned it again, but when Xiaoqian needed money the most and he owed a lot of debt, Li Shi'an thought that he might not have the money. Conditions for pursuing dreams.

Thinking of this, he took a deep puff on the cigarette in his hand.

Seeing his appearance, Lao Yu was a little worried, and asked him, "When did you learn to smoke?"

when?Li Shi'an thought about it, and it seemed that it was when he knew that Xiaoqian could not hear.

A young master like Li Shi'an really has never experienced any hardships. Working part-time, staying up late, and watching people's faces, whether it is mentally or physically, he also has times when he can't hold on, so he naturally learns to smoke.

But smoking is not a big deal, Li Shi'an thought, and he didn't smoke too much, because he was poor after all.

Seeing his appearance, Lao Yu couldn't find the aura of that cute and cute eight-year-old child at all, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He wanted to ask about Shen Yan, but he stopped knowingly.

In the end Li Shi'an bid farewell to Lao Yu. He walked down the street with the painting in his arms, thinking of going to Lao Xie's house to pick up Xiao Qian, but when he received a call from Lao Xie on the way, Li Shi'an thought that Xiao Qian had something to do, so he only listened when he answered. Old Xie said over there: "Doudou is back, I just met her outside, now we are having dinner at Night Snack Street, you hurry over here.

Jelly Peas?Hearing that it was the creditor, Li Shi'an hurriedly took a taxi to go there.

Here, Lao Xie and Tang Doudou are waiting for the barbecue at the food stall. Lao Xie is busy taking care of the baby. He picked up a peanut and handed it to Xiao Qian, trying to teach her to speak with an exaggerated mouth shape: "Hua-sheng."

Seeing him, Xiaoqian thought it was funny, giggled, but didn't say anything, Lao Xie was anxious, and said: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, learn from godfather, Peanut, listen carefully, Hua-sheng, I'll give it to you after I say it." !"

"Hmph!" Xiaoqian has the fastest way to get things, she pretended to be angry, and ignored Lao Xie.

"Oh ancestor, I was wrong, I was wrong." Lao Xie hurriedly coaxed her, "Come on, stop talking, stop talking, let me play with you, don't put it in your mouth, be careful to block your throat."

Only then did Xiaoqian smile again.

Lao Xie was basically in a state of being eaten to death by Xiao Qian, giving him whatever he wanted, and he was closer than Li Shi'an.

Tang Doudou felt very strange looking at this scene: "Thank you, where did you coax the child?"

Old Xie didn't even raise his head: "It's Shi'an."

Tang Doudou said angrily: "?? No wonder he asked me to borrow money! What about others? Why haven't they come yet?"

Old Xie said nonsense: "Working, don't you want to pay you back?"

Tang Doudou scolded angrily: "Bastard!"

Lao Xie's bad friend was even happier: "Don't scold me, you can scold him when you come back later."

While talking, Li Shi'an came late, and Tang Doudou's eyes widened when he saw him: "Li Shi'an, whose child is it?"

Li Shi'an carried the wrapped paintings and squeezed in from the crowded crowd. He didn't expect to ask Tang Doudou in front of him, and he said, "My daughter."

Tang Doudou scolded him: "Fart, when will you have a daughter?"

Li Shi'an retorted and asked, "Didn't I borrow your money to give birth?"

Tang Doudou was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and could only stare angrily.

Old Xiezi sniggered from the side, and leaned over to Li Shi'an and said, "I think, even if you really have a daughter, Tang Doudou can still like you."

Li Shi'an pretended not to hear, and asked Lao Xie: "Didn't you say that Zhu He is back, and ask him to come out and get together, brat, who spends every day in books, is it really Yan Ruyu?"

When Lao Xie heard this, Ma Liu called Zhu He.

Here, Li Shi'an kept flipping through the food on the grill with a tong, urging Tang Doudou: "It's baked, eat it quickly, what are you staring at?"

Zhu He came soon after receiving the call. He was not studying in the same city as everyone else. He hadn’t seen Li Shi’an and Zhu He for a few days. He only wanted to get together with the two old friends, but he didn’t expect to see Tang Doudou.

After Tang Doudou went to college, she became more beautiful and charming. She was already mature, but now she went to college, and when she was dressed more casually, she shone like a star so that Zhu He couldn't open her eyes.

When Zhu He was in high school, he was inferior and introverted. Although Li Shi’an and Lao Xie had always been kind to him, the kindness of girls was different. He had never been enlightened before. Sometimes I thought I was blessed by God.

Fortunately, God only took care of him, but did not let him misunderstand.

Tang Doudou likes Li Shi'an, Zhu He has always been very clear in his heart, and even he knows that Li Shi'an is more suitable for a rich lady like Tang Doudou than himself.However, it is one thing to know, but it is another thing to secretly think about it.Especially after knowing the relationship between Li Shi'an and Shen Yan, Zhu He felt that if he was willing to work hard, there might still be a little hope.

Out of a man's instinct, Zhu He was naturally jealous of Li Shi'an, but out of integrity, Zhu He restrained his jealousy.

For Zhu He, the matter that Yu Qiao jumped to poke him back then was a test of fate for him. Every day he was bullied by Yu Qiao, he told himself: If you betrayed your friends because of jealousy, you are not worthy to be a friend. Lawyer, Dad's grievances will never be cleared away.

Fortunately, he held on, but fate turned around and gave him a big slap in the face.

Zhu He was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law. However, when he really tried to get in touch with the case of the year, he realized that the victim in that case was stabbed thirteen times after losing the ability to resist.

After all, Zhu Wenxin lied to him. He killed the woman on purpose when he saw Cai Cai, not what he said, it was manslaughter while robbing things.

Because Zhu He was still young, the police who arrested his father never dared to tell him the truth, so he wishfully believed Zhu Wenxin for so many years.

It was also until that moment that Zhu He understood that the distance between him and Tang Doudou could not be shortened by running and running. The son of a murderer and the daughter of a rich man are an insurmountable barrier.

Fortunately, there are still things worth fighting for in this world, such as Lao Xie and Li Shi'an, such as the pair of shoes Tang Doudou gave him.

Li Shi'an was in a daze when he saw Zhu He came, he piled a lot of food into his bowl, and asked him, "When did you come back? I didn't even say hello, and I didn't know if I didn't listen to Lao Xie."

"It's been a few days since I came back," Zhu He picked up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, "I was busy looking for a winter job right after I came back, so I didn't have time to contact you."

Li Shi'an almost forgot that Zhu Hehan had to work part-time during the summer vacation, so he nodded indiscriminately, and then talked about other things.

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that Tang Doudou was tearing down Li Shi'an's painting.

"Who is this painting?" Tang Doudou looked at Li Shi'an when he saw the dancing person under the street lamp in the snow.

Li Shi'an frowned: "Why are you moving my painting?" After speaking, he put down his chopsticks and stood up to pick them up.

Old Xie was feeding Xiaoqian the boiled noodles brought by the boss, when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Dancing, she must be a beautiful woman!"

Tang Doudou picked up the painting and avoided Li Shi'an's hand: "I want this painting, give it to me."

Li Shi'an said seriously: "No."

Tang Doudou still refused: "I don't want the 50, you give me this painting."

"Oh, how rich!" Lao Xie yelled, "Shi'an, you can sell a painting for 50 yuan, and you are going to prosper!"

"No." Li Shi'an was categorical. He took out a card from his pocket. The card contained a small amount of pocket money he had saved before, as well as the money from working for the past few months. Douqian, at this moment he pushed the card in front of Tang Doudou: "I will pay you back, only [-], and Xiaoqian will go to kindergarten next semester. I can work more time, so I can pay you back a little more."

Tang Doudou didn't accept the card, and continued to mess around: "Why can't I, I just want it! You've already taken the money, and I don't want you to pay me back, I just want this painting."

"If you say no, you can't do it!" Li Shi'an finally got anxious, he raised his voice, causing everyone to turn around, Xiaoqian, who could hear the voice just now, was so frightened that he cried, Li Shi'an had no choice but to coax him quickly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lao Xie quickly pulled Tang Doudou: "Doudou, forget it. If you want to give Shi'an all your thoughts, you should spend all your energy on studying. You should win Tsinghua University."

The life of Tang Doudou is like a sugar jar, which is full of all kinds of happy surprises and favors, only Li Shi'an is bitter.She blushed at Li Shi'an's fierce roar, and silently put down the painting.

The scene suddenly became very awkward, and Zhu He was forced to come out to smooth things over. He said to Tang Doudou: "Don't pay attention to him, eat something, Doudou."

After appeasing Tang Doudou, Zhu He walked out of the area designated by the barbecue shop, and Li Shi'an hid Tang Doudou and took Xiaoqian here.

Zhu He stepped forward and asked, "Why do you owe Tang Doudou money?"

Li Shi'an pointed to the child: "Little girl is undergoing surgery."

Zhu He had noticed the cochlear implant on the child's head a long time ago. He still remembered this girl and knew that the child was Shen Yan's younger sister. He asked Li Shi'an, "Are you still waiting for her?"

Li Shi'an didn't answer, and he didn't know if he was waiting for Shen Yan.

He has grown a little taller, more upright, and he can get a lot of attention when he walks on the road. Many girls in college have pursued him, and there are many seniors, but for some reason, he just can't arouse any interest.

"Is there any news about him?" Zhu He asked.

Li Shi'an squatted on the flower stand by the roadside, took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke ring and said: "I can't find him, he didn't ask for my father's money at all after he went abroad." .”

Zhu He took out a card from his trouser pocket and handed it over: "There is 1 yuan in this card, which is money from my part-time job."

Li Shi'an glanced at him lazily: "No, I have to do it myself."

Zhu He was a little angry: "Li Shi'an... Do you remember how much kindness I accepted from you back then?"

Li Shi'an smiled indifferently: "You refused to sue me no matter how Yu Qiao forced you back then, all those friendships were paid off. Besides, I won't marry Tang Doudou's family for a mere 50..." After finishing speaking, he compared Two fingers, "At least two more zeros."

Zhu He was helpless.

Li Shi'an pushed Zhu He's hand back: "Take it back, when you become a barrister in the future, I will definitely blackmail you."

Zhu He remembered that when he was working in the library, he invited everyone to dinner when he got the money, and Li Shian said the same thing when he secretly paid the money.

Li Shi'an always said that, Zhu He felt that he might not be able to repay this person's kindness in his life.

Li Shi'an threw away his cigarette butt and stood up from the flower stand, glanced at Tang Doudou who was drinking heavily inside, and said to Zhu He: "You send Tang Doudou back, she probably drank too much, I will take Xiaoqian and leave first, remember Ask Lao Xie to help me get the painting."

For a moment, Zhu He felt that Li Shi'an seemed to have an insight into his own thoughts, but before he had time to ask anything, he turned around and saw Li Shi'an heading towards the direction of the child's play.
