When Zhou Ming walked out along the crowd, he seemed to have not recovered.

Qi Miao was really self-effacing. Although the lack of publicity this time resulted in several vacant seats in the audience, judging by the excited eyes, flushed cheeks, and continuous applause of the people around her, this dance drama was very successful.

Pei Ru was specifically told by Qi Miao that she was not allowed to leave after the end and wanted to get together again.

"Come on," Chen Gezhi said with a smile, "They are all from their dance troupe, and we don't know each other well."

"They don't seem to get together," Pei Ru stared at the phone screen. "There are several performances like this every month, so I don't see much of them."

It was almost ten o'clock now, and Zhou Ming didn't feel sleepy, but he was still struggling to hang out with Chen Gezhi and the others, or go home and sleep. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the other party's teasing.

"What are you thinking, don't wait for your teacher Ji to go back together?"

Zhou Ming didn't raise his head: "Your uncle."

"What's the matter, aren't you neighbors?" Chen Gezhi plausibly said, "It's not the way to go back together, where do you want to go?"

The crowd had gradually dispersed. Zhou Ming was standing on the steps outside the back door, his eyes were full of pale white pear blossoms. This theater was old, and the trees had grown tall. The petals were floating on the moonlight-like water.It is even more secluded by the occasional chirping of birds.

Zhou Ming didn't bother to talk to him, and felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time just now, so he just walked outside, wandering casually.

The meaning of life is not to eat and walk.

How pleasant.

The road outside was illuminated in a soft yellow by street lamps, and Zhou Ming's shadow was gradually reduced by the high beams of cars approaching from a distance. He walked slowly, but there were some noisy opera sounds in his ears.Turning around, found an old lady on the corner of the street, guarding a tall drum stove, selling roasted sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes in this season are not too sweet, but it is late at night, and it is always easy to be attracted by the warmth. Zhou Ming is tall and long-legged, walked over in a few steps, leaned over and asked, "Grandma, how do you sell this?"

The old lady dozed off on the tricycle, and the elderly machine was singing an excerpt of Mu Guiying in command. Following the sound of "Who would have expected that I would be in charge of the armed forces at the age of fifty-three", she waved her rough hand: "Red fleshy sweet potato, ten yuan a catty!"

"Choose two for me," Zhou Ming said with a smile, "It smells good."

The old lady stood up from the pony and made a "squeak". The cloth strips tied on it had been worn very thin, just like her thin white hair, which was blown a little bit by the wind.

She swiftly pulled out the drawer of the oven, revealing the browned sweet potatoes that had already baked and oozing honey, and the sweet smell spread out in an instant.

"There are four left, which one do you want, young man?"

Zhou Ming smiled: "I want it all, you can pack it for me."

He will not be hungry now, and he can't eat too much, so he took it back to Chen Gezhi and the others for supper, and Ji Yunqing, too. He packed a table of food tomorrow night, and that person picked up a shrimp dumpling to eat.hungry.

"...a total of thirty-six!" The old lady packed the sweet potatoes one by one in plastic bags and wrapped them with newspaper to prevent scalding hands before handing them to Zhou Ming, "Taste it, it's really sweet!"

Zhou Ming handed over a sheet of fifty yuan: "Okay, grandma doesn't have to look for it..."

But in the next second, the old lady withdrew her hand, and there was a little anger on her kind round face: "What are you doing, young man?"

"I didn't mean that," Zhou Ming was a little embarrassed. When he saw the old man selling things, he was used to buying a little more, or paying a little more, so that the other party could go home early. "Don't be angry."

The old lady took the money with a snort, took out the change from her pocket and returned it to the other party before handing over the roasted sweet potatoes again.

"It's okay, I'm just bored at home." She put away the ponytail, then turned around and smiled, "I'm old, but my heart doesn't want to be idle."

"It's just that I'm a little scared to go out at night, so I have to listen to this to make me more courageous." The old lady quickly got on the tricycle, and Mu Guiying in the elderly machine was chanting loudly and forcefully.

"Goodbye, young man!" The old lady twisted the handle and left gracefully.

Zhou Ming had a stupid mouth, and he seldom talked when he saw strangers. He held the roasted sweet potato in his arms, and it was steaming hot.

Seeing that it was getting windy, he checked the time and prepared to go back. This place is a bit out of the suburbs, and there are fewer and fewer people on the road. The convenience store on the side of the road is still open, and the boss wearing a motorcycle jacket is eating popsicles at the door.

Warrior... Zhou Ming silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart, and continued to walk back, but within two steps, he saw two girls squatting under the streetlight ahead, surrounded by a ginger-yellow thing on the groundTalking, and anxiously looking at the phone from time to time.

Zhou Ming raises a cat, so he can tell at a glance that it is a kitten a few months old, huddled in a small ball, he walks up without thinking, and finds that the little thing is dirty, with gray eyesThe ground is stuck together, the hair on the body is also knotted into strands, and the limbs are ridiculously thin.

"What's going on?" he asked, frowning.

A girl looked up, and her voice was crying: "It fell from the tree!"

"We were walking when we saw a few kids around the tree throwing stones at it," another girl continued. "Before we went over to chase people away, this kitten was hit and fell down.Help the child turn around and run away... What the hell are you hanging around outside without sleeping at night!"

Zhou Ming did not say a word, and tentatively checked the condition of the kitten. The ear mites and cat moss could be identified at a glance.Bleeding, so he simply pressed the kitten's limbs, and there was no obvious unevenness, and the kitten did not have a strong pain response other than trembling.

It should be fine, Zhou Ming asked softly: "Can it walk, and how is its walking posture?"

"I can walk," the girl replied, "the posture is quite normal."

Zhou Ming was still a little worried, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a picture so that the veterinarian he knew well could take a look, but the street lights were a bit dim, and the moss on the kitten’s chin and front legs couldn’t be clearly seen, so he turned on the flash and took a picture.After sending it over.

The other side responded quickly.

"According to what you said, the probability of fracture and bleeding is not high, but this cat moss is quite serious. You also know that cat moss and ear mites are not difficult to treat. The main thing is to have enough patience."

Zhou Ming played the voice to the two girls, and then put away the phone: "What are you going to do?"

"My boyfriend will come right away," a girl shyly said, "Take it to the hospital first, it's just that the school dormitory doesn't allow pets...but his family is local, so they can."

It appears to be a nearby college student.

"A full-body examination is a must." Zhou Ming rubbed the kitten's head and sighed, "Since I saw it, I have my share too. I'll pay for the examination."

"No, no, no," the girl waved her hand, "We can make up enough."

"It's okay," Zhou Ming said softly, "I also keep cats, just out of my heart."

He has also often helped stray cats and dogs these years, but Zhou Ming didn't like to deal with strangers, so he didn't join professional associations, but donated money and food on time, or helped find adoptions by himself.

"And I have one condition." Zhou Ming had already taken out his mobile phone, "Sterilize it when it reaches the age."

The girl froze for a moment before nodding: "That's for sure."

"Then let me do something." Zhou Ming smiled, and gently raised his phone, "I have to leave soon, my friend is still waiting."

He knows that for many young people who are shy, raising a cat is a big expense, especially for the examination when they are sick, so he is willing to help these two caring students.

The girl blushed a little, and opened the mobile phone payment code: "Okay, I will send you the hospital reimbursement form later."

Zhou Ming smiled and transferred 3,000 yuan to her directly: "It's okay, as long as you sterilize on time and don't abandon the foster care."

After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave. What he just said was correct, Chen Gezhi was indeed urging him, saying that Qi Miao has come out, where did you go?

So Zhou Ming started trotting, fortunately not far away, when he arrived at the entrance of the theater, the roasted sweet potatoes in his arms were still warm.

A few people were waiting for him at the gate of the theater, chatting on twitter, and there was still a group of dancers who hadn’t left, and were hustling around on the other side. Zhou Ming walked a few steps to the front and nodded at Qi Miao: “Excuse me, I’m going to buy it.Had a little supper..."

"So sweet!" Qi Miao took a roasted sweet potato with a smile on her face, "Wow, it's so hot."

Zhou Ming shared the roasted sweet potatoes among several people, and only then did he realize that they meant to go on to the next show and find a place to sing.

As soon as he heard that his head was getting big, he immediately refused: "You go, I want to go home and sleep."

"Come on," Chen Gezhi held Zhou Ming's shoulders, "You work and rest as an elderly person every day, can't you make a fuss once in a while?"

"No," Zhou Ming smiled and pulled off the opponent's paw, "To be honest, you guys can play."

Seeing his insistence, Chen Gezhi and Qi Miao stopped pushing and continued to discuss where to continue playing.

Zhou Ming walked towards the parking lot after saying his goodbyes. His fingertips still had the smell of roasted sweet potatoes. He took out a wet paper towel and wiped it as he walked., he saw Ji Yunqing standing under a pear tree, talking to a man in a suit and leather shoes.

Even at night, you can still see the faint smile on Ji Yunqing's lips, and the next moment, he showed a helpless expression, stretched out his slender fingers and twisted the other's ear.

The man in the suit turned his back to Zhou Ming, and it could be seen that he was tall and straight. He didn't seem to be angry when his ears were caught, and he stood there obediently.

I can't tell what it's like in my heart.

Zhou Ming just felt a little awkward.

So, it was very uncomfortable, and I really wanted to rush up and yell that you are here at night and chirping about me.

But the two of them didn't do anything, they just chatted face to face and pulled their ears.

The phone screen lit up, and it was a WeChat message from Chen Gezhi.

Edelweiss: "Have you seen Teacher Ji? Qi Miao and the others are waiting, they said they came to the parking lot too."

"I see, I might be busy." Zhou Ming leaned against the wall absent-mindedly, with a sour tone that he couldn't detect, "I'm chatting with someone."

Edelweiss: "Tell him to come over, hurry up."

Zhou Ming sighed, came out from the corner, and walked forward in the night. At this moment, Ji Yunqing, who was not far away, seemed to hear a joke told by the other party, and suddenly froze for a while, and then laughed.

It was a flamboyant, bright smile.

Zhou Ming was dazzled by that smile. He took out his mobile phone to take a picture. Maybe it was because the moonlight was too beautiful, or maybe it was the pear blossoms. His heart was pounding. It was the first time in his life that he did something immoral.thing.

I'll take a look and delete it immediately.Zhou Ming thought with a guilty conscience, turned on the camera carefully, and lightly pressed the camera button.

At the same time, a dazzling white light flashed, instantly grabbing the opponent's attention in the night.

Zhou Ming was stunned.

He actually... forgot to turn off the flashlight.
