She is brighter than the stars

In the office, Li Shubai was bored listening to Chu Mingmei's long-winded nonsense, and his mind was full of Cheng Nian walking clumsily with a food box.

The notification sounded on the mobile phone, and he took it over to look at it, and the feeling of guilt disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the sudden change in Li Shubai's expression, Chu Mingmei quickly jumped up behind him like a monkey.

She half-closed her eyes and looked at the screen and muttered: "Love Hotel. Oh, I thought I was too hateful to her just now, are you ready to make it up to my sister-in-law?"

Li Shubai stared at the news on his phone, feeling that the anger in his heart was about to rush out of his head like a leopard ready to go.

Noticing that Li Shubai's knuckles had turned slightly white, Chu Mingmei restrained her playful smile, and asked with some doubts, "What's the matter?"

Li Shubai ignored Chu Mingmei, made an intercom call to his assistant Chen Dian, and ordered through gritted teeth, "Stop all Cheng Nian's cards."

Chu Mingmei nodded her head as if suddenly enlightened, she rolled her small eyes left and right, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't, cousin, what if my sister-in-law booked a room for a romantic night with you."

Hearing such thoughts, Li Shubai's heart skipped half a beat for no reason.

The originally high anger suddenly withered away as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

He put down the receiver, turned his face to the side unnaturally, and said lightly, "Will you?"

When did Chu Mingmei see Li Shubai like this?

She resisted the desire to take out her mobile phone to take pictures, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said repeatedly.

"Sure, otherwise, who else would my sister-in-law go with? It must be because you are indifferent to her, so I plan to add some fun to your life. The current love hotel is different from before. There are so many tricks in it. For example..."

Listening to Chu Mingmei's eloquent description, Li Shubai felt a slight heat in his ears, and his hands felt awkward no matter what, and said stiffly: "She has never done such a thing."

Chu Mingmei looked at Li Shubai with a look of "you don't understand it", "Women are fickle, maybe my sister-in-law suddenly became enlightened."

As she said that, Chu Mingmei turned on her mobile phone and transferred a small program to Li Shubai, smiling strangely.

"Now the Internet is very developed, youarewelorge."

Li Shubai opened it, took a look, and said with a stern face, "Very good, I will forward it to my aunt."

Before Chu Mingmei had time to reprimand Li Shubai for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, she was escorted off by a corner.

He was the only one left in the office, and Li Shubai opened the small program again in a daze.

Thinking of Cheng Nian's recent performance, he felt that what Chu Mingmei said was not impossible.

After sitting for a while, Li Shubai glanced at his watch, it was three hours before he got off work.

Although he kept telling himself not to look forward to it, he suddenly felt that the time became very difficult.

In the hotel, Cheng Nian brought Yuan Chang into the room.

Looking at the bright and clean house, Yuan Chang stood at the door and dared not go in, as if he couldn't believe that he could live in such a good place.

Cheng Nian walked in only to find Yuan Chang still standing there, and beckoned to him, "Come in."

Yuan Chang stared at the tattered shoes on his feet, and whispered: "I'm afraid of stepping on the dirty carpet."

Cheng Nian shook his head with a smile, and led him into the bathroom, "Then take a shower first, and take off all the dirty clothes."

Yuan Chang glanced at Cheng Nian, and shyly tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Children in their teens already have the concept of gender, and they feel somewhat embarrassed.

Cheng Nian only regarded him as his precious son, never thought that he was just a stranger to him at this moment.

Seeing that Yuan Chang hadn't started to take off his clothes, Cheng Nian urged, "Hurry up."

Yuan Chang's face was flushed red, "Auntie, can you go out? I'll just wash it myself."

Only then did Cheng Nian realize it, and he responded belatedly, "Oh, okay, then later Mom...Auntie will rub your back."

After hearing this, Yuan Chang quickly called Cheng Nian to stop, "No need, Auntie, I can do it myself."

Knowing that Yuan Chang was shy, Cheng Nian nodded, "Well, you can wash it slowly, the bathrobe is left outside the door, you will wear this when you come out."

Although Yuan Chang said not to help, Cheng Nian went into the bathroom halfway.

Hearing someone coming in, Yuan Chang exclaimed: "Auntie, you..."

Cheng Nian narrowed his eyes, "My eyes are closed, I can't see anything, put the towel in my hand and I'll wipe it for you."

Children are easy to deceive.

Yuan Chang glanced at Cheng Nian, put the towel in her hand suspiciously, then turned his back and stood in front of her.

There was a lot of steam in the bathroom, but it didn't affect Cheng Nian's ability to see the large and small scars on Yuan Chang's body.

Some of those scars are old and blended with the skin.Some are still very new, as if they have just shed their scabs, and they are pale pink.

Cheng Nian's nose was sore, and tears fell down again.

After wiping her back, she returned the bath towel to Yuan Chang, went out and quickly wiped away her tears with a paper towel, not wanting to be seen by Yuan Chang.

After a while, Yuan Chang came out of the bathroom.

His hair was a little long, and after washing it, it fell loose, and it almost reached his shoulders.

But even so, there was still no trace of femininity on his handsome face, and he still looked superior to ordinary people.

The long-term homeless life made Yuan Chang's body thinner than those of his peers, which made Cheng Nian feel distressed.

She called Yuan Chang to her side and asked him about his life over the years.

The two talked for a while, Yuan Chang looked at Cheng Nian hesitantly, "Auntie, why do you always call me Yuan Chang?"

Cheng Nian was a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "Ah, I think this name is better."

Yuan Chang showed the first smile since the two met for such a long time.

"It doesn't matter, you can call it whatever you like. Anyway, no one cares about my name except you."

Cheng Nian lovingly rubbed Yuan Chang's hair, and murmured, "Silly baby."

Cheng Nian stayed with Yuan Chang in the hotel until after six o'clock.

When she was leaving, she ordered food for Yuan Chang, and said: "Someone will bring you food tomorrow morning, just open the door."

Yuan Chang couldn't help asking: "Will Auntie come to see me tomorrow?"

Cheng Nian patted Yuan Chang's little head, "Yes, you will live here first, and I will pick you up after Auntie's life is stable."

Hearing the word "pick up", Yuan Chang raised his head and gave Cheng Nian a blank look.

He really wanted to know the meaning of these two words, but he was afraid of getting the answer. After thinking about it, he finally nodded obediently without saying anything.

Coming out of the hotel, Cheng Nian bought some vegetables at the supermarket on the way home.

Although she knew that Li Shubai might not come back for dinner, she still wanted to add some warmth to the house.

While processing the ingredients, Cheng Nian vaguely heard the sound of the door lock.

When she came out and saw Li Shubai appearing at the door, she held up the knife and said in surprise.

"Why did you come back?"

Li Shubai opened his mouth, but his mouth didn't seem to be used to warm words, so he spat out awkwardly.

"I shouldn't have come back so early."
