Chapter 168

The underpants were all cotton, and also white.

The pants were black casual pants, plastered on the windowsill, covering a small half of the glass window.

Li Heng stood at the bedroom door, a bit stunned. It really is fear of what comes, what comes!

He only muttered about underpants and long pants yesterday, didn't expect they would really be blown over by the wind.

Should he pick them up?

Should he ask the owner of the clothes for compensation?

According to Feng Shui, women's underpants plastered on a window either brings bad luck or invites disaster. The only way to break it is to turn the other party into his own woman, then everything else is another matter.

Damn it, turn her into his own woman? What if the other party is an old lady? What if she's an ugly woman? Li Heng shook his head, hurriedly squeezing this absurd theory out of his head.

The wandering sorcerer who wrote this Feng Shui book probably hadn't seen a woman in eight hundred years, having only his five fingers for company his whole life, otherwise he wouldn't have written it like that.

Observing the attic opposite for a while through the window, Li Heng finally gave up the idea of touching them; it's better to keep them in their original state. He was really afraid that the owner would come later, and it would be hard to explain.

Just as he stretched and prepared to wash up simply, a sound suddenly came from downstairs.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The sound wasn't loud, Li Heng thought he was having auditory hallucinations.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The second knock sounded, he heard it clearly, subconsciously walked toward the stairs, and before long arrived at the front door on the first floor.

"Who is it?" Still a few steps away, Li Heng asked through the door.

Hearing movement in the house, the knocking outside stopped, but no one spoke.

"Who are you?" Li Heng spoke again.

There was still no sound outside.

Li Heng leaned toward the crack in the door to look out, stunned, hmm? The English teacher's best friend?

Yu, Yu Shuheng?

What's going on? Why would the other party come to find him?

Could it be that the English teacher asked her to come?

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes wide again to look, it really was Yu Shuheng, he wouldn't be mistaken. Although there was a slight difference between the real person and the English teacher's photo, the other party had a very strong scholarly air, leaving a deep impression, and he couldn't forget it at a glance.

Pausing, Li Heng lowered his head to check himself, and seeing that everything was normal, he held the door bolt and slowly opened it.

In the end, he also had his reputation to maintain, he couldn't let the English teacher down, could he?

The wooden door slowly opened to both sides with a creaking sound, and a beautiful face that looked like it had been carefully carved appeared before his eyes, with long black hair, a long black trench coat, a white shirt inside, and a bulging chest wearing a nephrite jade pendant.

The first feeling was cold.

The second feeling was gentle as jade, as if the first feeling was an illusion.

Third feeling: The other party was like red leaves in autumn, low-key and introverted, quiet and beautiful without being ostentatious, very charming.

This was a woman who had charm in her bones, and also a woman with full marks for scholarly air.

It's just that she was a bit tall, reaching 172cm. Looking at each other inside and outside the door, this woman gave him a sense of oppression, inexplicably, he even felt a bit unable to let go.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was a fact; it was the first time in two lifetimes that he had encountered a woman with such a complex and profound temperament.

"Hello."

As soon as Yu Shuheng spoke, the cold aura suddenly disappeared, and she herself was like an oasis in the desert, fascinating.

Li Heng nodded, pretending not to know the other party: "Hello, is something the matter?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I am your neighbor across the way."

As soon as these words came out, Li Heng immediately knew the other party's intention.

So the clothes were hers, this damn thing was very outrageous!

Their eyes met, and the air between the two was extremely quiet.

After 20 seconds, Yu Shuheng didn't speak again, seemingly waiting for him to speak with composure.

Perhaps, both of them knew what was in the attic, and for a moment felt a bit uncomfortable.

You look at me, I look at you, facing each other, Li Heng moved aside, signaling for her to go up herself.

Yu Shuheng nodded slightly at him, then stepped out with her straight long legs, elegantly crossing the threshold, passing him, and walking up the wooden stairs without haste.

Li Heng discovered that this woman was worthy of being someone who played music; the intervals of her feet stepping on the stairs were almost the same, very rhythmic, as if showing off her confidence and composure.

Before long, she came down again, with clothes draped over her left arm, the long black trench coat on top, and the undergarments probably hidden underneath.

Just as she was about to pass him, she suddenly nodded slightly at him again, then left, coming like the wind, going like the wind. If it weren't for the pleasant faint woman's fragrance remaining in the air, he would have thought this scene just now had never happened.

Glancing a few times at the lonely back, Li Heng didn't pay attention, turned around, and went to get busy. He still had to shower and wash up, and there were the clothes he changed out of yesterday...

Showering was easy, washing clothes was difficult. Just as he was pondering where to get tickets to buy a washing machine, movement came from the door again.

This time it was the sound of a bicycle stopping. Mai Sui had arrived, still carrying a lunch box in her hand.

Li Heng stared at the lunch box in her hand, his eyes glowing green, and asked happily: "Why did you come? How did you know I hadn't eaten?"

Mai Sui smiled softly and said: "I went to your dormitory to find you, the dormitory manager was too lazy to even turn on the loudspeaker, saying you didn't return to the dormitory last night, so I guessed you either stayed the night at Xiao Han's place, or stayed up late writing here."

"Those who understand me, Mai Sui!"

Li Heng praised, wiped his wet hands on his body indiscriminately, didn't wash the clothes anymore, took the lunch box, and opened it impatiently.

Whoa! Inside there was stir-fried beef, and a vegetable heart, fragrant, smelling it made his appetite increase, all things he loved to eat.

He took the chopsticks, shoveled two mouthfuls into his mouth, and asked: "The cafeteria can't make this dish, is it from a restaurant outside?"

Mai Sui said yes, and thoughtfully poured him a cup of water.

Li Heng said thank you, and asked again: "Is my face that easy to remember? Even the dormitory manager remembers it?"

Mai Sui smiled, "Should be about the same. Actually, it hasn't been a short time, a month is enough for the dormitory manager to recognize many people."

Thinking about it, it was true. He asked again: "When did you and Comrade Manning leave yesterday?"

Mai Sui said: "We left yesterday at noon after lunch. In the afternoon, the two of us accompanied Zhang Zhiyong for a walk around the school. After dinner, I saw the weather forecast saying the weather would change at night, so I rode my bike here again to close the second-floor window. Did you see the note in the study? That's when I left it."

"Saw it, thank you and Manning for helping me clean up, it's really thanks to you guys, if it were left to me, I'd have to be busy for half a day, maybe it wouldn't even be as clean as you guys made it." Li Heng expressed his sincere thanks.

Mai Sui watched him eat for a while, then shifted her gaze to the clothes in the basin, instantly smiling, "These are the clothes you wore out yesterday, you're only washing them now, is it that difficult?"

Having his shortcomings caught by a girl, Li Heng was a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, his skin was thick enough, and in the next second, he returned to normal, "Isn't it, I'm most afraid of this."

Mai Sui asked curiously: "Does Xiao Han help you wash clothes?"

Li Heng looked up at her, "She hasn't completely agreed to be my girlfriend yet."

Mai Sui: "Completely?"

Li Heng stuffed three pieces of yellow beef into his mouth in a row before saying: "You're a smart person, you should be able to guess the reason."

Mai Sui pondered for a while, "I heard that Zijin and her don't get along very well, is it because of this reason?"

Li Heng asked: "Chen Zijin said so?"

Mai Sui said: "It's not, most of it is what we guessed."

Li Heng didn't prevaricate: "It's a fact."

Mai Sui asked: "The two of them having a conflict is also because of you, right?"

Li Heng grinned, "Am I very charming?"

Regarding this question, Mai Sui smiled without saying a word.

After he finished half a bowl of rice, Mai Sui sighed with emotion: "Actually, I most hope you and Song Yu are together."

Li Heng stopped his chopsticks, looked up, and asked: "What's the reason?"

Mai Sui shook her head: "No reason."

Then she asked: "Are you still going to Shanghai Medical College these two days?"

Li Heng answered: "Not going, have to leave some time for Xiao Han to get along with her roommates. If she spends too much time with her roommates during the start of school, it won't be good for her to get along with them in the future."

Mai Sui agreed with this, she had eaten lunch and dinner with her roommates, and only had free time in the afternoon. Later, she glanced at the clothes in the basin twice, didn't go to help, and it wasn't her turn to help anyway.

After eating, Li Heng continued to wash clothes.

Mai Sui washed the lunch box clean and sat beside him to chat.

While chatting, she said: "Tell you an interesting thing, last night someone in our dormitory was discussing your 'Cultural Travel Notes'."

Li Heng asked: "Did anyone criticize me?"

Mai Sui said meaningfully: "You're so famous now, who dares to criticize you easily? After last night's discussion, several roommates specifically went to the newsstand today to buy 'Harvest' magazine, just to read your masterpiece."

In this day and age, the reading atmosphere is strong. Li Heng wasn't too surprised by this, but asked: "What about you, have you read my work?"

Mai Sui didn't avoid this, saying generously: "I read it the first time, every time I'm quite fascinated."

Li Heng was very happy to hear this, saying: "There are more than 10 drafts in the study upstairs, you can go flip through them when you have time, it would be even better if you could help me find one or two typos."

Originally, his manuscripts wouldn't be open to ordinary people, but Mai Sui had won his trust, so he opened his mouth.

Mai Sui didn't make a sound, just stared at his eyes without blinking.

Li Heng understood what she was worried about, put the washed clothes in the basin, got up to go to the second floor to hang them: "Go ahead, you are Comrade Mai Sui, I trust you."

Mai Sui didn't move, until she watched him go upstairs, then she took the small building key out of her pocket and put it in her palm. Originally, she came over today to return the rental key and bicycle, didn't expect him to trust her so much.

After a long time, Mai Sui appeared on the second floor.

But she didn't go to the study, but came to the attic and said to him: "Next Wednesday is Song Yu's 19th birthday, at that time, you busy person remember to spare some time to send her a postcard to celebrate her birthday."

"Good."

Li Heng responded, and asked: "What about you? I remember yours is coming soon too, right?"

Mai Sui said: "Mine is still early, there are still more than 20 days."

After hanging up the clothes, Li Heng invited Mai Sui to walk around Lushan Village. Having been here for so long, it was the first time he had the leisure to take a walk, which could be considered digesting food.

After 40 minutes, it rained in the sky again, and the two had to hurry back to the small building.

Li Heng entered the study to read and write.

Mai Sui didn't follow in to disturb, but took a few drafts, sat upright on the long bench in the attic, and read slowly.

At dusk, the sound of an ocarina came from Building 25 opposite. Mai Sui raised her head, listening intently, and couldn't help but think in her mind: What does the person who can play such an ethereal instrument look like? Is the performer very stylish?

Li Heng also heard the ocarina sound, even recognizing the piece played was "Two Shepherds," a very classic piece.

When Li Heng walked out of the study, Mai Sui asked quietly: "What instrument is this? It sounds so good?"

Li Heng answered: "Ocarina."

"So this is an ocarina?"

"Hmm."
