Chapter 38
The sky gradually darkened.Only then did Li Taotao feel exhausted.She packed up the half-cut cheongsam and placed it on the workbench.The wattage of light bulbs in the shop was very low, and the light was dim, and she saw He Taifang at a glance.

He Taifang was sitting in the armchair, dozing off with his eyes closed, and snoring loudly. He had been busy for the past few days without a break. He was extremely exhausted, and he was obviously thinner, and his face was even more resolute and thin.She originally wanted to drive him back, but when the words came to her lips, no sound came out.

He was already sweating profusely from sleep, Li Taotao turned the fan and blew on He Taifang.The cool wind hit him, and his snoring obviously subsided. After a while, he trembled his eyelashes and opened his eyes.

"What time is it?" He Taifang asked.

"It's 06:30." Li Taotao glanced at the alarm clock and replied.

"I've been sleeping for so long." He Taifang muttered, stood up, under the dim light, he looked at Li Taotao seriously, and asked concerned, "Are you hungry? Let me cook some noodles?"

"Yeah." Li Taotao was absent-minded, and she glanced outside, obviously feeling that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

After all, the law and order in this area is not peaceful. Living alone, Li Taotao has no idea.

Li Taotao looked at He Taifang's busy figure in front of the stove, "How do you plan to arrange it?"

"Huh?" He Taifang cracked the eggs with one hand, and the two eggs broke their shells, and the aroma of hot fried eggs overflowed instantly, "What arrangement?"

He didn't understand. When he was asking, he turned his head and looked at Li Taotao very seriously.

Li Taotao looked at the fried egg, which was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, "Where do you sleep?"

He Taifang said "Oh", and pointed to the chair just now, "That's it."

Li Taotao lowered her head, didn't speak, and stared absently at the dim scene outside the street. Seeing the bustling market become so quiet, she was also very scared.

It's just that keeping him in the shop will make his reputation even worse.

He Taifang had a panoramic view of Li Taotao's preoccupied appearance. He scooped up a ladle of water and poured it into the hot pot, covered the lid and waited for the water to boil before serving noodles and vegetables.

"I don't worry about you being alone in this shop." He Taifang rubbed her cheeks and coaxed, "You've lost a lot of weight, don't pretend too much, I'm here. "

Li Taotao avoids his gaze, thinking of lonely men and widows living together in this shop, she inevitably feels guilty.

In his previous life, he was married to her, so he lived together.

In this life, living together like this, the gossip and spittle from outside can kill her.

But the most terrible thing is that Li Taotao can only choose the former when comparing the safety of his life with his reputation.

For this matter, He Taifang had no other choice.Except for a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, He Taifang didn't know how to enlighten her.

Not to mention Li Taotao, even an old man like him felt a little awkward.

The water boiled and gurgled.

He Taifang lifted the lid of the pot, placed the noodles and vegetables in an orderly manner, and when it was cooked, he filled two bowls of noodles, each with a poached egg on top.

He Taifang dragged a stool and sat opposite Li Taotao. He ate the noodles very fast, snoring with chopsticks, eating like a wind.

On the other hand, Li Taotao eats noodles in a gentle way, blowing the hot air slowly, rolling up the chopsticks, and eating them only when they are cold.

The fan was blowing on them, it was not cool.

Li Taotao was afraid of the heat, so she was sweating profusely after eating.

Looking at He Taifang again, he had already eaten the second bowl, and he wrapped up all the rest in the pot.

"Aren't you afraid of being hot?" Li Taotao glared at him, He Taifang had already eaten two bowls of noodles before finishing the bowl.

He Taifang smiled and said, "You will get used to it when you become a soldier. A group of people are like bandits. If you hold your hand slowly, the plate can be used as a mirror."

Li Taotao laughed, it turned out that He Taifang had such a miserable life.

He Taifang talked about his career in the army, with a bright smile on his face, "The training was very hard at that time, and everyone was full of energy. My comrades in arms were amazing, and none of them ran away..."

He Taifang kept talking.

It was also the first time for Li Taotao to see He Taifang in such high spirits, and he couldn't bear to interrupt him, and it was really interesting to hear him talk about his military career...

It's just that the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

Li Taotao didn't remember when she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, only to find that she was lying on the mat with a fan blowing on her.

Li Taotao turned on the light, she was the only one in the room, the door was closed, but it was not locked from the inside.She vaguely remembered that He Taifang moved her to the second floor.

She went downstairs, separated by a few steps, and saw He Taifang spread straw mats on the ground, shirtless, wearing shorts, lying in a large size and sleeping soundly, there was no fan, the windows were open, and there were sometimes cool nights The wind blows away the sultry heat around.

A plate of mosquito coils has been extinguished.

Li Taotao ordered another plate for him, and then went upstairs, this time she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed, until Li Taotao woke up when the birds were chirping outside the window, and people and cars were making noise on the street. .

She went downstairs, scooped up a scoop of clean water and put it on a low stool, took a toothbrush cup, an enamel washbasin, and a towel, squatted by the gutter at the door, brushed her teeth, wiped her face, and she regained her energy.

He Taifang was sitting on the chair, and he didn't know when Yao Jintang came. The two brothers were smoking and chatting over there, with smiles on their faces.

Li Taotao approached, and vaguely heard the two of them chatting about Dr. Wen, Wen Xinyi.It turned out that Yao Jintang came to the door that day and sincerely apologized to the Wen family. The Wen family liked him very much, and intentionally or unintentionally matched him with the older leftover girl Wen Xinyi, which made Yao Jintang very happy.

It's just that Wen Xinyi likes to ignore him, a well-known playboy.

"I'm going to the Qifu Temple, and I beg Xinyi and I to get married as soon as possible so that we can have a son." Yao Jintang smiled happily, like a stunned young man in a passionate relationship, looking silly.

"I'm also going to the Qifu Temple."

Suddenly a female voice sounded.

It's just that the delicate female voice with a choked voice was not Li Taotao, but Chen Qinqin who appeared at the door of the shop at some unknown time.

Behind her, there is a tall, stylish woman with stunning heavy makeup, who looks about 35 years old, I don't know if it is her original age, or if she wears inappropriate makeup to make her look very old .

"Chen Siqing?" Yao Jintang was stunned for a moment, "When are you coming back?"

As he said that, Yao Jintang subconsciously looked at He Taifang, who looked stiff, and the latter fixed his eyes on Chen Siqing.

"Why are you staring at me so fiercely? Can I still eat you?" Chen Siqing laughed, but her eyes were looking up and down at Li Taotao who was dressed in a rustic dress. She asked He Taifang, "Is this the type you like? Also Jia Biyu is too small, she can't get on the stage at all."
