Chapter 107

"Que Xinyan, Liu Li, I'm taking you guys to eat. Are you going or not?"

Zhang Zhiyong, who had just returned to the dormitory not long ago, jumped up: "Grandpa Heng, where are we eating?"

Li Heng talked about the gathering at the English teacher's house.

Hearing that Chen Lijun would be there, Liu Li found a set of clean clothes in a flashy manner: "You guys wait for me for a bit. I'm going to take a shower.

There was no electric fan in the exam room today, and my whole body is soaked. I'm almost suffocated by my own sweat smell. I have to wash clean and leave a good impression on her."

Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong were both sweaty, so they simply went to the public bathhouse together to take a shower.

"Hey! Li Heng, you guy, go over there. Don't stand with us."

In the bathhouse, Liu Li looked down at his own, then looked at Li Heng's, and a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

He was very puzzled: they were both humans, both men, how could the gap be so big?

On this point, the long-suffering Que Xinyan had a lot of resonance, jumping and helping to say: "That's right, that's right, go to the side!

It's so awesome, it makes me not dare to take my stuff out every time I pee."

Li Heng looked at the two of them with a slightly teasing expression, and then said happily: "I'll keep the original ecology unchanged. I allow you to compare after on-site processing."

Zhang Zhiyong and Liu Li were completely provoked. They immediately splashed two buckets of water on him. Back and forth, a water-splashing festival instantly broke out in the bathhouse.

After showering, when leaving the bathhouse, Liu Li picked at his wet hair with his hands and began to lament the spring and mourn the autumn:

"I don't know if I can get into Renmin University. If I can't get in, tonight will probably be the last time I see Chen Lijun."

Que Xinyan instigated: "Then you should confess tonight."

Liu Li cursed: "You idiot."

Que Xinyan reached out and grabbed his ear: "You're the idiot. Confess while drinking. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, pretend to be drunk, and I'll carry you back."

Liu Li felt a bit tempted, but felt too shy. He couldn't help but curse weakly again: "You're still an idiot."

After hanging up their clean clothes, the three of them came to the teacher's family building together.

Zhang Zhiyong and Liu Li were visiting this area for the first time in this life. They, who had been bickering all the way, suddenly became a bit restrained and stopped talking, walking obediently behind Li Heng like followers.

Just as expected, Song Yu and the others had already arrived.

Besides Mai Sui and Chen Lijun, Sun Manning from next door was also there.

Upon meeting, everyone was asking about their grades.

As a result, Sun Manning patted her flat chest and said that Sun Yat-sen University should be no problem.

Chen Lijun, on the other hand, was a bit nervous about Renmin University and not very confident.

The reason for this was that the math exam was too difficult, making her lose 100% of her confidence.

Li Heng comforted her: "Where in the world is there anything 100%? As long as there is a 50% chance, you can boldly give it a try. Don't worry, you will definitely get in."

Chen Lijun didn't seem to want to make the atmosphere stiff because of her exam, so she teased him: "Li Heng, then how much confidence do you have in Song Yu?"

Li Heng looked at Song Yu, and Song Yu shifted her gaze without a trace.

Amidst the gossiping eyes of everyone, Li Heng stood up to pour a cup of tea, leaving his back to them and saying: "She is my April day."

These words came from Lin Huiyin. He believed that Song Yu would understand as soon as she heard it.

Coincidentally, Chen Lijun was also familiar with the source of these words, and said with a smile: "You are love, you are warmth, you are hope, you are the April day in the human world. Song Yu, I really envy you, you are so blessed."

Song Yu quietly took the tea handed over by Li Heng. At the moment her eyes met his, there was a bit of shyness and a bit of confusion.

If it weren't for Chen Zijin, she didn't know if she would really calm down and seriously consider things with him?

But reality had no "if," and Zijin had always objectively existed.

This made the proud and reserved Song Yu subconsciously avoid things about feelings, things about him, every time.

As for Li Heng, at this stage, she didn't want to think deeply, didn't dare to think deeply, and her moral values drove her not to think deeply either.

Wang Qi and the English teacher returned. Both of them had their left and right hands full, with lunch boxes stacked one after another in the bags. They had brought back more than a dozen dishes.

Li Heng poked his head to take a look, "Whoa! Good fellow, 'Teacher, have you moved the canteen here?'"

Teacher Wang Qi laughed: "There were only 11 dishes in the canteen today. The teacher is happy today, so I specifically ordered 5 small stir-fries, all meat, guaranteed to feed you well."

The 16 dishes were spread out one by one, filling the coffee table.

The English teacher said to Li Heng, "I bought some wine in the refrigerator. Come with me to get it."

Walking into the kitchen, Li Heng looked at the cabinet full of various wines and couldn't help asking: "Teacher, when did you buy this wine? Why didn't I know?"

Wang Runwen said: "Your mind is all on Song Yu, how could you pay attention to these? Less nonsense, take some of each over to drink first, I'll cook some rice."

While picking the wine, Li Heng asked with concern: "Teacher, are you very lonely? Do you often drink alone?"

Wang Runwen asked back sarcastically: "None of your business. Why? Do you want to help me relieve my loneliness?"

Li Heng turned his head to look at her, "Oh, such a temper, did you eat gunpowder? Or did I poke your sore spot?"

With a "slap," Wang Runwen closed the refrigerator door with her backhand, brushed her handsome long hair, and cursed with a smile: "Get lost, don't be an eyesore here, get lost to Song Yu's side."

"Eh, okay." Li Heng turned around and really rolled away in a dejected manner.

Drinking—after three years of high school, this was the first time everyone was drinking. They were all a bit curious, a bit eager to try, and a bit restrained.

The first to start was Li Heng.

He poured a cup for Teacher Wang Qi, poured one for himself, picked up the cup, and said to him:

"Teacher, thank you for not killing me these past few years. I toast you with this cup. I wish you good health and all your wishes come true in the days to come."

The so-called "all wishes come true" was, of course, going to Yali Middle School to reunite with his wife.

"Okay, you kid, I must finish this cup in one gulp." Teacher Wang Qi smiled, picked up the cup to clink with him, and then downed it in one gulp.

Li Heng followed by tilting his head and downing it in one gulp, and then poured two more cups of wine, one for the English teacher, "Teacher, I toast you with this cup."

The English teacher took the cup, unmoved, and asked with a side-eye: "Do I not have a toast?"

Teacher Wang Qi laughed loudly and interjected: "Don't be jealous. I am his head teacher, you are just his English teacher, there is still a difference."

Li Heng quickly added: "There is, I haven't said it yet. I wish the teacher to be forever 18, beautiful as a flower."

Wang Runwen glanced at Song Yu, then glanced at Mai Sui, and teased herself:

"I also thought I was beautiful as a flower at the beginning, but after seeing the two of them 3 years ago, I realized I was sitting in a well looking at the sky."

After Li Heng and Wang Runwen finished drinking, Teacher Wang Qi decided to put away his serious image today and asked as a fun-maker:

"Sitting in a well looking at the sky? I remember you went to Renmin University for college, right? No beauties there? Can't see big beauties in the capital?"

Wang Runwen glanced at him and said not very politely: "There must be, but do you think you can just bump into someone like Song Yu?"

Teacher Wang Qi tilted his head and examined Song Yu carefully, then laughed: "Don't compare her with her. Her parents aren't from our Shaoshi City. Her mother is from Taojiang, and it's not like you haven't heard of her mother's fame."

Song Yu's mother's fame was very great in this area. Who hadn't heard of it?

Wang Runwen nodded, and her gaze moved to Mai Sui: "The first time I saw Mai Sui, I thought of my best friend, only the other person's temperament was more mature."

Li Heng added: "Also born with this kind of inner charm?"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was stunned first, and then burst into laughter.

Peach blossoms seemed to bloom on Mai Sui's face, one after another. She turned her head away embarrassedly.

Song Yu looked at someone, reached out to take the wine bottle, and poured him wine.

Wang Runwen shook her head, "It's not. My best friend is the exact opposite of Mai Sui. She is the kind of dignified and elegant lady. The reason why I always think of her when I see Mai Sui is that both of them are equally beautiful."

When there were many people, Zhang Zhiyong was still relatively bold, and asked with a stiff neck: "Teacher, is it the person in that photo?"

Wang Runwen said: "It's her."

Several people asked about what photo. Wang Runwen said, "The photo isn't here, it's in the old house in the city."

With Li Heng warming up the scene, the subsequent situation got out of hand. Liu Li, Zhang Zhiyong, and others toasted the two teachers one by one.

Teacher Wang Qi asked Zhang Zhiyong: "How did you do on the exam this time?"

Zhang Zhiyong was rarely serious, patting his chest with a "slap": "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely have a university to go to this time."

Teacher Wang Qi patted his shoulder: "Good, for these words, the teacher will drink three cups with you."

Speaking of Que Xinyan, Wang Qi's heart was still quite complicated.

He remembered when the arts and sciences were first divided into classes, he and Teacher Yang of Class 205 didn't want to accept this kind of connection-based student with average grades. But the connections were too strong, and the school didn't give them a chance to return the goods.

Later, when they really couldn't push it away, Wang Qi and Teacher Yang discussed it and decided his destination by drawing lots.

Wang Qi's luck wasn't good, and he drew Zhang Zhiyong.

When it was Liu Li's turn, Teacher Wang Qi sighed and said: "Look at you, Li Heng's English has caught up, but you are still standing still. You could have been better."

Liu Li touched his nose, wanting to complain, "The English teacher doesn't give me extra lessons," but changed his words when they reached his lips:

"A bit stupid, can't learn English, it always goes in the left ear and out the right. I'm also quite troubled."

However, things had reached this point, and saying more was useless. Teacher Wang Qi clinked a cup with him very readily.

After a round of toasts, the battlefield was divided into two. The English teacher drank with the four female comrades.

Li Heng and the other two accompanied the head teacher to drink and eat. Occasionally, the two battlefields mixed in, and it was harmonious.

They were all good babies before and hadn't really drunk much alcohol, so it was easy for them to get tipsy and drunk.

This wasn't it—Liu Li, who was tipsy, under the constant instigation of Zhang Zhiyong, took the initiative to have a drink with Chen Lijun, biting his big tongue and saying:

"Chen, Chen, Chen Lijun, what, what do you think of, of me?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Lijun asked embarrassedly: "Which aspect are you asking about?"

It was already like this, so Liu Li learned Li Heng's shameless spirit and used all his strength to give it a try: "It's, it's every aspect, do we have..."

Before he could finish, Chen Lijun lowered her head and interrupted his words, blushing and saying half-jokingly: "Go dream."

Being rejected, Liu Li, who was experiencing this scene for the first time, couldn't save face. He sought drunkenness in various ways and pretended to be calm while drinking another round or more with the people present.

The result was as expected; he really got drunk and fell asleep soundly on the sofa.

Seeing this, Sun Manning reached out and flipped Liu Li's face, saying with great sympathy:

"Tsk tsk! Why are you learning from Li Heng's thick skin? You ended up with such a miserable ending. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having a face like Li Heng's."

Li Heng was unhappy, "Comrade Manning, don't drag me into everything."

Sun Manning pointed at Song Yu and said angrily: "You've said you're shameless so many times, but a beauty like Song Yu still accompanies you to sit.

And she pours you wine from time to time. Isn't it just because you have a good-looking face, and Song Yu can't bear to reject you completely?"

Before Li Heng could retort, Mai Sui hurriedly pulled down Sun Manning's hand and smiled to smooth things over: "Manning is also a bit drunk. You guys continue to accompany the teacher, I'll talk to her for a while."

Pulling her to the washroom, Mai Sui asked Sun Manning in a low voice: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you targeting Li Heng?"

Sun Manning splashed two handfuls of cold water on her face and pouted: "How am I targeting him? I just said a big truth. Look at how the head teacher dotes on him, and the English teacher dotes on him regardless of her status as a female teacher.

Although Song Yu rejects him every time, she still acts like nothing happened afterward and maintains a very close relationship with him.

And there's Chen Zijin. Where did I say anything wrong?"

Mai Sui suddenly came out with: "Do you like Li Heng? Are you secretly jealous?"

Sun Manning was stunned, then shook her head, "That's not it."

Mai Sui asked: "Then do you like Liu Li?"

Sun Manning shook her head again, "Neither. They aren't the type I like."

Mai Sui asked amusingly: "Then what type do you like?"

Sun Manning tilted her head and pondered for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know. Haven't met one yet. Anyway, it must be the kind that can make me devoted at first sight."

Mai Sui said: "Then you're in trouble."

Sun Manning asked back: "Why is it difficult?"

Mai Sui said meaningfully: "You'll know later."

Sun Manning was unconvinced and pulled Mai Sui, who was about to leave: "What later? Don't speak in riddles."

Mai Sui turned her head and said: "Why did Li Heng dare to pursue Song Yu? Why would Chen Zijin like him? Why has Xiao Han had a crush on him for so many years? Go think about it yourself."

Sun Manning's mouth opened wide, shocked: "Xiao, Xiao Han? That Xiao Han from Class 206?"

Mai Sui said: "It's her."

The information was too big, and Sun Manning couldn't accept it for a while: "Xiao Han has a crush on him, and for many years? Really or fake?"

Seeing her like this, Mai Sui gave a soft, charming smile: "Authentic."

Sun Manning asked: "How do you guys know?"

Mai Sui said: "These words came from Chen Zijin's mouth."

Sun Manning stood there stunned for a long time, and finally burst out a vulgarity: "Damn!"

Mai Sui said: "You used a dirty word."

Sun Manning rolled her eyes and shifted the blame: "It was all corrupted by Zhang Zhiyong. I must stay away from him in the future."

This night, because the atmosphere was very good, the head teacher got drunk, drunk by Li Heng and Que Xinyan together.

Song Yu and Chen Lijun also drank until their consciousness was blurred, sitting on the sofa and not wanting to move.

Mai Sui, on the other hand, was a natural drinker. She drank continuously for a whole night without her face changing color, and was still clinking cups with the English teacher.

Li Heng asked her: "Did you drink often before?"

Mai Sui shook her head: "No, just drank some with family during New Year and festivals."

Wang Qi also couldn't help asking: "Then how can you drink so much?"

Mai Sui smiled: "Teacher, I don't know either. I just feel the taste of wine is okay."

Look at her, this is a natural talent, heaven rewarding her with food. A simple "the taste is okay" choked everyone.

Toward the end of the meal, Liu Li suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Chen Lijun.

Everyone felt surprised.

Sun Manning even reached out to gesture in front of him, asking what was wrong?

Liu Li said weakly: "I just had a dream, and I confessed to her in the dream. She told me to stop dreaming. Then I woke up immediately.

I thought when I woke up, she would be my girlfriend, but it turned out to be just a dream."

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing it, but while laughing, they felt a bit sentimental: how difficult it is for someone who is cautious about love.

When leaving, Mai Sui supported Song Yu, Sun Manning supported Chen Lijun, Que Xinyan carried the head teacher on his back, and Liu Li walked slowly by himself. The group went downstairs in a grand manner.

The English teacher asked Li Heng, who was walking at the end, "Leaving tomorrow?"

Li Heng gave an "hmm," "Going home tomorrow, coming over on the 14th, and going to the capital on the 15th."

The English teacher confirmed one last time: "If you don't get into Peking University, are you really going to Sun Yat-sen University?"

Li Heng nodded and said yes.

Wang Runwen looked at him for a while, and finally waved her hand, "Get lost, take good care of them, I won't go downstairs."

After saying that, she closed the door with a "bang."

Truly heartless, closing the door just like that. Li Heng secretly complained, and quickly went downstairs to catch up with them.

The head teacher's house was on the first floor, very close. After helping put him on the bed, Li Heng and the other two followed behind the female comrades.

It was just that when they approached the girls' dormitory building, Li Heng suddenly stopped his footsteps.

Zhang Zhiyong pushed him from behind, "Grandpa Heng, why aren't you walking? Did you get a leg cramp?"

Li Heng didn't make a sound, looking at Song Shi and Jiang Yue, the couple downstairs at the girls' dormitory, from a distance.

Just one glance, and he had a strong intuition in his heart telling him: Song Yu's parents recognized him.

Song Yu called out quietly: "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

Jiang Yue withdrew her gaze from Li Heng, came over to support her daughter, and said with heartache: "Did you drink?"

Song Yu said: "Had a few cups with the teachers. My alcohol tolerance isn't good."

"With the teachers?"

"Hmm, the head teacher and the English teacher."

Jiang Yue recognized these two people, and then explained: "Your dad and I were walking along the riverbank, and when we reached the entrance of the First Middle School, we just happened to come in to ask how you did on the exam?"

"Don't worry, it's quite good." Song Yu answered as such.

Her daughter's temperament had been steady since she was young. If she said it was good, then she must be confident about getting into Peking University. Jiang Yue and Song Shi looked at each other, their eyes full of joy that couldn't be hidden.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mai Sui and the three girls, Jiang Yue cast her gaze toward Li Heng and the other two again:

"Yu Bao, are these all your classmates?"

When Jiang Yue said this, her eyes didn't avoid anything, fixed on Li Heng without blinking.

Song Yu turned back and introduced: "He is Li Heng, this is Liu Li, this is Zhang Zhiyong. They are all classmates who play well together on weekdays."

Jiang Yue looked at Li Heng and said in surprise: "You are Li Heng? I said why you looked a bit familiar. I heard Yu Bao mention you, saying you are Chen Zijin's partner."

Once these words were out, the scene instantly fell silent.

Even Chen Lijun, who had a bit of drunkenness, sobered up and straightened her body to look at Li Heng.

Li Heng didn't deny it, nor was he stupid enough to admit it on the spot, and said readily: "Auntie has a very good memory, it's me."

At this time, Song Yu stood out, "Li Heng, you three go back to the dormitory first. Thank you today."

Li Heng smiled at everyone, "Okay, then you guys rest early, good night."

As they turned and left, Jiang Yue not only didn't withdraw her gaze but stared even tighter.

Seeing this, Song Shi pulled his wife, "Yu Bao's grades have been asked, and the person is safe. Let's just go home."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue turned to ask her daughter, "Are you going back with Mom tonight or?"

Song Shi already understood that his wife had questions she wanted to ask, so he immediately said to Mai Sui and the three girls: "You guys go up first, I'll come over tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Mai Sui and the three girls returned to the dormitory with great discernment.

The family of three walked side by side across the playground, left the First Middle School, and it wasn't until they returned to their own courtyard that Jiang Yue couldn't help but speak:

"Is Li Heng the boy who shared an umbrella with you back then?"

Along the way, Song Yu had plans and psychological preparations for various situations, and gave an "hmm":

"It's him."

Watching her husband lock the courtyard gate, Jiang Yue asked again: "Tell Mom, are you two together, or is he pursuing you?"

This was Jiang Yue's cleverness—not asking "what is your relationship?"

Lest her daughter muddle through and say they are good friends.

Instead, she gave two options based on her own guesses, letting her daughter answer.

Song Yu almost understood her mother's intention in a second, but after hesitating for two seconds, she still said frankly: "He should have some good feelings for me."

Jiang Yue didn't believe it: "Just good feelings?"

Song Yu smiled beautifully and asked back calmly: "Mom, what answer do you want to hear? I'll say it according to what you want."

Jiang Yue was speechless. After a while, she said nervously: "Isn't he dating Chen Zijin? Why does he still dare to come and harass you?"

At this point, Song Yu knew she couldn't fool around anymore and had to pick some facts to say, "It seems like the Chen family and his family have had a conflict."

Jiang Yue brainstormed for a while, and then her eyebrows furrowed even deeper: "The Chen family doesn't want him, so he comes to pursue you? Are you sure our Song family will want him?"

Seeing that his wife's words were a bit unpleasant, Song Shi poured a cup of water and handed it over: "Look, you're anxious again. Sit down and drink some water first."

Jiang Yue took the water cup and asked her husband directly: "Old Song, if this kind of person is rejected by others, would you want him?"

Jiang Yue said she was asking her husband, but those little eyes were scanning her daughter, aimed at her daughter.

Song Shi gave a bitter smile. How should this question be answered?

No matter how you answer, it feels wrong, right?

He said gently to his daughter: "Tell Dad, what exactly is going on with this Li Heng?"

Before, every time Song Yu thought about the things between her and Li Heng, she would always feel a bit at a loss.

But now, she wasn't panicked anymore. She took a newspaper from the coffee table leisurely, pointed to a piece of news, and smiled:

"He isn't just some stray cat or dog. The Chen family doesn't even dare to speak to him in your tone now, Mom."

Jiang Yue leaned in and asked: "What do you mean?"

PS: From the launch on the 13th to today, 19 days, I've updated 170,000 words, about 9,000 per day. I'll continue to work hard next month.
