Chapter 189

After the meal, the two returned directly to the hospital.

Seeing that the English teacher was still fast asleep, Yu Shuheng left after sitting for a few minutes, returning to the hostel to wash up, bathe, change clothes, and so on.

Before leaving, Li Heng said to her: "Teacher, you've been worried all day, take a nap, we're here."

Yu Shuheng was indeed a bit tired; she didn't act coy, nodded, and left.

Once people were gone, the cousin and the music teacher were visibly relieved.

The music teacher asked: "Li Heng, what does Yu Laoshi's family do? How is her temperament so good?"

Li Heng shook his head: "I don't know either, I haven't known her for long."

The cousin guessed: "She should be the child of a cadre; someone from an ordinary family background wouldn't have such an aura."

Li Heng and the music teacher agreed with this, and then the three started chatting aimlessly. The atmosphere was quite good, and they didn't disperse until around 11 o'clock at night.

Around 11:30, the English teacher woke up, and Yu Laoshi, having had a nap, also rushed over later.

The English teacher opened her eyes and asked the two: "Is my complexion very haggard now? Very ugly?"

Yu Shuheng smiled clearly, glanced at Li Heng, lowered her head to peel an orange, and didn't answer.

Li Heng said: "Teacher has a good foundation; you look good even without makeup."

"Saying I look good in front of Shuheng, you're really insincere." The English teacher wasn't so easy to fool.

Then I'll say big! Big is fine! C+...

Really, Li Heng muttered to himself, then put on a thick face and said: "Both my teachers are beautiful!"

Because of their shared plight, the English teacher thought of Li Jianguo, who was also in poor health: "How is your father's health now?"

Li Heng explained the situation: "Since using the plaster, it has improved. In a few days, I plan to have the old man go to the capital."

The English teacher asked: "Have you communicated with the Chen family?"

"Mm."

Li Heng gave a soft "Mm" and said: "I'm currently asking her to buy a Sihe Academy."

After hearing this, the English teacher smiled strangely: "Heh heh, you really are calculating well. I'm afraid that place will become the place where you, Song Yu, and Chen Zi Jin are promiscuous in the future."

If it's left vacant, you have to date if you can, otherwise why buy a Sihe Academy? I'm not rich enough to burn money.

However, he refused to admit it to the death: "Teacher, I have a need to seriously criticize you for this. I just want to show filial piety to my parents; I don't have such dirty and unbearable thoughts as you."

Mentioning this, Li Heng talked about his second sister, Li Lan, working at the City People's Hospital:

"Teacher, after you recover and return to Shao City, please do me a favor and pass a word to my second sister, asking her to accompany my father to the capital. I will remit the money to her."

"Alright, I'll also tell her Yu Laoshi's home landline number so it will be convenient for you to contact your family," the English teacher said, taking full responsibility.

Li Heng was moved and turned to Yu Shuheng.

Yu Shuheng said: "You'd better arrange a fixed time with your family to call, otherwise I might be out teaching and not at home sometimes."

Li Heng thought it made sense and arranged the time for around 7 o'clock on Friday night.

Actually, he really wanted to install a phone in his rented room, but it was too difficult to apply for in this day and age. With his connections, he might not be able to handle it in a short time, and he had troubled Yu Laoshi too much recently, so he was embarrassed to open his mouth again.

Wait, wait until after this semester, he thought.

Tonight, Li Heng and Yu Shuheng continued to keep watch. Same old routine: Li Heng kept the first half of the night, and Yu Shuheng kept the second half.

After Yu Shuheng fell into a deep sleep, the English teacher, who had already fallen asleep, slowly opened her eyes and stared fixedly at Li Heng's profile, not knowing what she was thinking.

For a long time, Li Heng, feeling something, turned his head, and the English teacher immediately closed her eyes quickly.

Was it an illusion?

He thought blankly, stood up, came to the bedside, and pulled the quilt up for the English teacher. They say the autumn wind is cool early at night; the late night in this season was a bit chilly.

After tucking her in, he noticed her hair was a bit messy from sleep. Li Heng, as if guided by some unseen force, reached out to smooth it for her, his movements light, soft, and delicate, for fear of waking her.

After doing all this, he sat by the bed for a while longer before standing up and coming to the window, continuing to look at the moon and stars outside.

Not long after, the English teacher opened her eyes quietly again, but a minute later, she turned to her best friend on the sofa.

At some point, Yu Shuheng had also woken up, but she didn't move.

Their gazes met, Yu Shuheng smiled meaningfully and closed her eyes.

The English teacher paused, her full chest swelling even more under the quilt, and her breathing became a few degrees coarser.

Past four in the morning, Yu Shuheng got up and successfully took over from Li Heng.

He didn't stand on ceremony, lay on the sofa, and fell straight asleep.

"Come to the bed and accompany me for a while." The English teacher was uncomfortable lying down all day and called out to her best friend.

Yu Shuheng nodded, took off her shoes, and got on the bed.

"Did you see everything just now?" the English teacher asked nervously.

Yu Shuheng spoke: "I saw it."

Wang Runwen was speechless.

Yu Shuheng asked elegantly: "Are you really not going to Shanghai with me?"

Wang Runwen asked in return: "What can I do if I go to Shanghai?"

This time it was Yu Shuheng's turn to be silent.

For two consecutive days, Li Heng and Yu Shuheng partnered to keep watch, one for the first half of the night and one for the second, quite tacitly.

Sunday morning, Yu Shuheng called Li Heng, who was on the sofa, right on time: "Li Heng, wake up, it's time to go."

Li Heng's sleep was not deep, and hearing this, he sprang up, ran into the washroom, cupped a handful of cold water, and splashed it on his face to wake himself up, then prepared to say goodbye to the English teacher.

Unexpectedly, the English teacher was still sleeping.

Li Heng stood at the head of the bed for a while, then came to the corridor and said to Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, then I'll go first, I'll leave this to you."

"Mm." Yu Shuheng nodded and handed him the plane ticket.

Li Heng took the ticket and said thank you.

He didn't know why Yu Laoshi always liked to buy him morning plane tickets. Look, he just slept and arrived in Shanghai.

Coming out of the airport, he didn't rush back to school but went to the piano training center.

By coincidence, he met the fake Daoist Fu Yanjie from the 24th small building again, who was following behind Chen Siya and pestering her.

"Siya, I know a newly opened restaurant that's not bad. How about we go taste it tonight?"

"We're worshiping Buddha at home today, fasting."

"No, you don't usually believe in this..."

"My mom believes in it!"

"Then how about a movie? I got a batch of the latest Hollywood blockbusters from a friend abroad."

"Watch it at your place?"

"Of course, I've prepared everything, just waiting for you."

"Do I look like a fool to you?"

"Siya, I'm sincere. My feelings for you are fiery red; I'm willing to open my chest for you to see."

"Fine, there's a knife right there, go ahead and open it, do it now."

Just as she was speaking, seeing Li Heng appear suddenly at the door, Fu Yanjie, who had just been fawning and flattering, was instantly embarrassed! His face was redder than a monkey's butt.

Li Heng joked: "Old Fu, this is useless. You should say: 'Hi! How could you be a fool? You understand my ulterior motives, I understand your feigned reserve...'"
