【Backstage】
"Zhou Song, is the food ready?" He Tuo cleared his throat and coughed lightly.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Song immediately became nervous, "Is everything okay?"
He Tuo smiled helplessly, "It's okay."
"I'll drop you off at your place, just go home and rest for a bit." Zhou Song's tone relaxed slightly, but his brow remained furrowed.
"Yeah, thanks." He Tuo glanced at the time on his phone, smiled, "It's already 9:30, goodnight."
Zhou Song Just wanted to remind a few more things, but the words stopped at my mouth. Just as he was about to speak, there was a 'beep' on the phone, and He Tuo had already hung up.
Zhou Song Looking at the hung-up screen on the phone, he smiled helplessly and sighed softly. [WeChat voice message]
Shi Zhu: "Shen Hui, I've packed up the things for you. Just change your clothes and come down to the underground garage to find me."
Shen Hui: "Okay, wait for me for three minutes."
【Underground garage】
"What are we eating tonight?" Shi Zhu said as he placed Shen Hui's bag on the back seat. Shen Hui leaned lazily against the car window and replied, "I don't know." Shi Zhu picked up his phone, looked through restaurant information, and then handed it to Shen Hui to see, "How about we go to 'Lou Ting' for dinner?"
Shen Hui just glanced at the screen and shook her head: "It's too late, I'm tired."
Shi Zhu saw this and said, "How about I come to your place and cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Shen Hui turned her head, looked at Shi Zhu, and half-jokingly asked, "Is your husband not jealous?"
Shi Zhu poked Shen Hui's head and said with a smile, "I don't even get jealous of him and his brother, and he dares to get jealous of us!"
Shen Hui laughed and replied, "No need, there are sandwiches in the fridge, just heat them up."
Shi Zhu saw the situation and didn't want to say much, so he started the car and drove towards Shen Hui's house.
【Shen Hui Home Downstairs】
Shi Zhu gently patted Shen Hui's shoulder and whispered, "We're here."
Shen Hui sleepily opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and said, "Hmm? We're here?"
Shi Zhu took Shen Hui's bag from the back seat and handed it to her, "We're here."
After getting out of the car, Shen Hui turned her back to Shi Zhu and waved her hand, indicating that Shi Zhu could go back.
As soon as Shen Hui walked out of the elevator, a tempting fragrance hit her face, making her nose involuntarily twitch a few times. Following the scent, Shen Hui arrived at He Tuo's door. Shortly after, her stomach obediently growled.
After hesitating for about a second, Shen Hui pressed He Tuo's doorbell. He Tuo gently opened the door, and the two of them looked at each other. Shen Hui broke the silence by pointing towards the kitchen and asking, "Are you cooking?" He Tuo glanced at the dishes on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled, asking, "Do you want to eat?"
Shen Hui nodded without hesitation, but then noticed she was still wearing her outdoor shoes. She pointed to her shoes and said, "I'll go home first and change into another pair of shoes."
He Tuo nodded with a smile, then held the door wide open for Shen Hui to come and go easily.
Shen Hui quickly went home to change her shoes and returned almost at the speed of light.
Shen Hui looked at the food on the table and started to eat heartily, saying, "Mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious."
He Tuo on the other hand, ate slowly and occasionally reminded Shen Hui to slow down.
"Do you cook often?" Shen Hui suddenly asked.
He Tuo put down the utensils in his hand, thought for a moment, and then answered, "I guess so." In the blink of an eye, the table full of dishes had been eaten clean by the two of them, of course, with most of it being eaten by Shen Hui. Shen Hui wiped his mouth satisfactorily, stood up, and asked, "Can I come to your house for meals often in the future?"
He Tuo half-jokingly said, "Doesn't your boyfriend mind?"
Shen Hui glanced at He Tuo, "What do you mean?"
He Tuo put away the joking expression and said seriously, "A beautiful girl like you should have a boyfriend, right?"
Shen Hui wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth and smiled, "No, just busy with work."
He Tuo turned around to tidy up the tableware, a barely noticeable smile on his lips, "Sure."
Shen Hui smiled and said, "Thanks," and as he was about to leave, suddenly realized that he didn't know He Tuo's name, so he turned around and asked, "Oh, by the way, I still don't know your name?"
"He Tuo."
"Hello, my name is Shen Hui."
"I know," He Tuo replied briefly.
Shen Hui: Somewhat surprised, "You knew?"
He Tuo: Turning around, looking at Shen Hui's face still with stage makeup on, smiled and said, "That day you had your work ID hanging on your neck, I saw it."
Shen Hui then remembered that day she was wearing stage makeup, and pointed to her own face, asking, "Aren't you scared? Do I look a bit scary like this?"
He Tuo shook his head and chuckled, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm one too."
"What are you?" Shen Hui was a bit puzzled by He Tuo's response.
He Tuo pointed to the theatrical makeup on Shen Hui's face and said, "I'm also a Chinese opera performer, singing Peking Opera."
Shen Hui A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she smiled and said, "No wonder you're not afraid."
He Tuo Smiled and shook his head, "Isn't this our usual state?"
Shen Hui Nodded with a smile and curiously asked, "Which role do you sing?"
"Qiantan."
Shen Hui began to size up He Tuo, "Are you Qiantan? I can't tell at all."
He Tuo hesitated for a moment, some images flashed through his mind, then he smiled, "Really? It seems like everyone says that."
"I am Kunsheng."
He Tuo pointed to the theatrical makeup on Shen Hui's face and said with a smile, "I can tell."
Shen Hui smiled and waved her hand, "Goodbye, looking forward to your next performance." With that, she turned and walked away, and the door closed gently.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Song asked patiently on the other end of the phone. He Tuo smiled and said softly, "You don't need to bring food tomorrow." Zhou Song rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up a bit, and asked, "What?"
"Who is it? It's so late," Shi Zhu grumbled with sleepiness from being woken up by someone.
Zhou Song covered the receiver and explained in a low voice, "It's He Tuo."
Upon hearing that it was He Tuo, Shi Zhu's tone immediately softened, "Oh, it's him."
Zhou Song glanced at the schedule sent by He Tuo on his phone, then tiptoed into the living room. "Don't you have a schedule tomorrow?"
He Tuo responded with a sound of agreement.
"What's wrong? Not even having dinner? Are you going to cultivate immortality?" Zhou Song asked seriously.
He Tuo smiled and said, "No, it's just that my hands are a bit itchy, so I want to cook a meal myself."
Zhou Song patted his own head, almost unable to believe his ears, "What did you say? Say that again?"
He Tuo said seriously, "I said, I will cook for myself tomorrow."
Zhou Song's eyes welled up with tears at the corners, "Okay, okay, then I'll come over to your place for a meal tomorrow."
"No, you can't."
"Why not?"
"No reason?"
"No, I haven't tasted the food you made in a long time."
"Next time."
"Why do you want to come next time?"
"No reason? Anyway, you're not allowed to come to my house tomorrow!"
"You're wrong. Do you have some kind of situation?"
"Get lost."
"Oh."
With a 'click', the phone hung up.
Zhou Song gazed at the photo on the coffee table and softly said, "Teacher, can you hear me?"
The first ray of morning sunlight gently shone on He Tuo's face through the gap in the curtains, waking him from his sleep.
This was the first time He Tuo had naturally woken up in the sunlight since that time.
Nightfall gradually descends, and the doorbell at He Tuo's home rings on time.
Meanwhile, Shen Hui still hasn't removed her makeup, but what's different this time is that she didn't change her shoes. Instead, she walked straight to the dining table.
Looking at the dishes in front of her, Shen Hui couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it this sumptuous today?"
"Of course, it's basic etiquette to treat someone." He Tuo smiled.
Shen Hui couldn't wait to start tasting, but after the first bite, she frowned slightly and said, "Hmm? The taste seems a bit off today."
Seeing this, He Tuo furrowed his brow and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Shen Hui Shook her head and said with a smile, "No, it's very delicious. It's just that it feels a little different from yesterday's."
He Tuo Scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, yesterday's dish wasn't made by me, today's was."
Shen Hui Suddenly realized, "No wonder I felt a difference in taste. You said yesterday that you made it."
He Tuo argued, "I just said 'kind of,' I didn't confirm anything."
Shen Hui smiled at He Tuo and then praised, "Today's meal is really good."
As time passed, Shen Hui almost became a regular guest at He Tuo's home, and mooching meals became her regular program, to the extent that she even memorized the password to He Tuo's home.
A month later, as usual, when Shen Hui was having dinner at He Tuo's house, He Tuo suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at her seriously, and said softly, "Be my girlfriend." Shen Hui continued chewing her food and then asked, "Why?" He Tuo pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Be my girlfriend, and you'll have this kind of food every day in the future."
Shen Hui hesitated for a moment with the cutlery in hand, then started eating again, "Sure."
He Tuo smiled at Shen Hui.
And so, an informal confession and an informal date opened the curtain of love.
