Chapter 216

~13 min read 2,412 words

This was the second time the four people had eaten and drunk at the same table, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious than last time.

The whole meal took about 50 minutes.

Just as it was coming to an end, Yu Shuheng suddenly turned to Li Heng and asked: "Do you really have other original tracks?"

He had put out the word in front of thousands of people last night, could he say no now?

Li Heng nodded: "Yes."

Yu Shuheng stared at the wine glass in her hand for a while, wanting to speak but stopping.

After eating, Li Heng helped Mai Sui clean the table, placed the birthday cake on the table, inserted the candles, and lit them one by one.

"Comrade Mai Sui, it's time to make a wish." He reminded.

"Alright."

Below was Mai Sui's wish-making session. Under the gaze of the three, she glanced at Li Heng, then put her hands together in front of her chest in a prayer posture, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.

The duration lasted about 10 seconds, and Mai Sui opened her eyes.

The fake Daoist teased and asked: "Mai Sui, what wish did you make? Academic? Or emotional? Hi! I just feel that since you've grown up so beautifully, you should wish for a wish-fulfilling husband to come back."

Mai Sui smiled charmingly and answered playfully: "Fu Laoshi, wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."

Then she took the knife and fork and began to cut the cake. She handed the first piece to Yu Shuheng.

Yu Laoshi was an elder, and also the best friend of his high school English teacher, and had a closer relationship with Li Heng, and upholding the principle of ladies first, so there was no problem at all giving the first piece of cake to her.

She gave the second piece to the fake Daoist. He was a guest and also had the status of a teacher, so naturally, it should be distributed this way.

She handed the third piece to Li Heng and said: "Thank you, Li Heng."

"Mm." Li Heng responded vaguely, took the cake, and took a bite.

Actually, he didn't like eating cake and didn't like the taste of cream, but in order not to spoil the fun, he still pretended to eat very happily, and while eating, participated in the chat of the three.

Yu Shuheng loved pastries, but was afraid of being full, and at the same time, in order to maintain a symmetrical figure, she only ate half and didn't eat anymore, then put down the knife and fork to accompany them.

Until the other three had eaten seven or eight out of ten of the cake on the plate, she elegantly opened her mouth: "Li Heng, someone called to find you around dusk today."

Hearing this, Li Heng didn't ask who, ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, said "I'm going to make a phone call, you wait for me at home" to Mai Sui, and followed Yu Laoshi back to Building 25.

After the two went out, the fake Daoist also very perceptively said goodbye and left. It was late at night, and it was inappropriate for an old man like him to stay in a room with a female student. He was dedicated to his feelings and avoided these things the most.

Crossing the courtyard and entering the house, Yu Shuheng pointed to the landline phone on the coffee table, signaling him to use it as he pleased, then poured two cups of tea, placed one in front of him, and held one in her palm.

Unlike last time, she didn't go to the second floor, but went to the courtyard outside.

Li Heng asked from behind: "Teacher, who called me?"

Yu Shuheng, who had walked to the door, turned her head slightly and looked back, didn't make a sound, and left his sight.

"Really cold! Cold to an excessive degree." Li Heng felt inexplicable and muttered silently.

A while later, he began to dial the English teacher's phone.

But when the phone was dialed halfway, he suddenly woke up and was stunned on the spot. Didn't Yu Laoshi not telling him clearly mean she was testing his attitude?

What attitude? Attitude towards whom?

Did that need to be stated clearly?

If someone else had called him, Yu Laoshi would have definitely told him in Building 26, in front of Mai Sui and Fu Laoshi.

But when they arrived at Building 25, the other party still hadn't said it clearly, what was the purpose? It went without saying.

Sigh, it was fine that he was more handsome than Takeshi Kaneshiro and Takeshi Kaneshiro, but why did he have to be so smart? Forget it, forget it, let's just pretend to be confused, Li Heng pitied himself under the light and continued to dial the phone.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Dong dong dong!"

After waiting for a while, the English teacher's voice came from the other side: "Hello?"

"Teacher, it's me." Li Heng identified himself.

Wang Runwen took the receiver away to take a look, was stunned for two seconds, and then put it back to her ear: "Li Heng, didn't you go out? Why did you return tonight?"

Li Heng blurted out: "No. Teacher, I'm not going home at night, where else can I go?"

"Hehe!"

Wang Runwen crossed her arms and mocked: "Why did you go to Shanghai? For whom? Do I still need to say it?"

What a familiar scene; every time she chatted with him, a perfectly good English teacher immediately transformed into a mockery king, mocking this or that, and in any case, she just didn't like him.

They were both clear people, so Li Heng was too lazy to pretend; it was tiring, so he rubbed his temples with his right hand: "Teacher, I say I haven't chased Xiao Han yet, do you believe it?"

He didn't expect the English teacher to say she believed it.

Then she sneered again: "Look at the good things you've done; if I were Xiao Han, I wouldn't agree to you either."

"Oh, I hugged her today, she's about 96 jin." Li Heng said suddenly.

The air suddenly became quiet!

For a long time

Flipping her hair back, Wang Runwen said "Heh": "Have your methods for dealing with girls evolved again?"

Li Heng expressed dissatisfaction: "What do you mean evolved? With my talent and my looks, I can go anywhere in the world."

Wang Runwen narrowed her eyes: "Then did you provoke Shuheng?"

Li Heng glanced at the door and lowered his voice: "Alright, Teacher, don't you have any self-awareness? She's just a lump of ice."

Hearing this, imagining her best friend's cold way of treating people, Wang Runwen couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'm relieved. You scumbag, I even regretted introducing you to her at the beginning, afraid you would ruin her."

Li Heng was speechless: "You have confidence in me."

"Honestly, I don't have much confidence in you, but one fears the 'what if' in everything." The English teacher was not polite at all, the implication being that he was unworthy of Shuheng in every way.

His relationship with Yu Laoshi hadn't reached the point of joking around, so Li Heng stopped while he was ahead and smacked his lips: "You are my teacher after all, don't keep hanging the word 'scumbag' on your lips, it sounds terrible."

The word "teacher" made Wang Runwen, who was originally happy, instantly deflate, and the words she was about to say were retracted. After a moment of silence, she said: "Recently, several waves of people have come to the First Middle School to look for clues, wanting to find your identity as a writer. Is everything okay on your side?"

"It's fine, the magazine's confidentiality work for me is pretty good, and there are no problems at the moment." Li Heng wasn't surprised by what happened at the First Middle School.

There were people who dared to openly poach the magazine, so what was strange about those people going to Shao Yang?

"That's good."

The English teacher silently breathed a sigh of relief for him: "I read every issue of your 'Cultural Hardship', it's written very well, and its influence in Shao Yang is great. Television media often reports on it, and one can often hear topics about you on the streets.

Principal Sun also keeps asking me if you are coming to the First Middle School during the winter vacation? The implication is that he wants to see you and wants to find you to drink. I can see that he admires you quite a bit."

Li Heng was shocked: "Are the reports in Shao Yang serious? Those people in my hometown know my identity, will it slowly spread out?"

The English teacher smiled: "Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I just want to live a low-key college life for a few years, and don't want to be observed by people with a microscope wherever I go; such days have no fun at all," Li Heng said his true thoughts.

The English teacher shook her hair and said: "Beg me, and I'll show you a way."

Li Heng immediately lowered his posture cooperatively: "Teacher, please!"

"Hehe."

The English teacher laughed out loud: "I had already considered this for you, and I've already told Shuheng. She said it's not a big problem and has already greeted the relevant parties in advance. You can rest assured and attend your classes, pick up your girls, and write well."

Li Heng corrected: "Cross out 'pick up your girls'."

The English teacher retorted: "I think it's more suitable for you to remove 'rest assured and attend classes'."

Seeing her ridicule him repeatedly today, Li Heng played his trump card: "Teacher, resign."

"Get lost!" The English teacher was silent for two seconds first, then her reaction exploded, a "Get lost!" directly split from the sky of Shao Yang to Shanghai, and split onto Li Heng's head.

Finally angered you, Li Heng felt very relieved, and turned to ask about the main business: "It's been a month since the surgery, how is the recovery?"

"It's okay, quite good. At present, except for not daring to do strenuous exercise, I can eat and drink, and still teach classes. It feels no different from before the surgery." After all, she was young and recovered quickly, and the English teacher was very satisfied with her current state.

Li Heng was surprised: "So fast, and you're already teaching?"

"I am. Originally the school wouldn't let me and told me to rest, but being alone at home is suffocating, and the days are like years, so it's better to teach classes." The English teacher explained the situation in detail and told him not to worry.

That's true, sometimes when people are idle, the most fearful thing is loneliness.

Appropriately teaching classes might be better for the body and mind and more conducive to recovery.

After chatting for a while, Li Heng said: "I will come to the First Middle School during the winter vacation, remember to save some game for me, and make it for me to eat then."

"You can save some game, but if you want to eat, make it yourself." The English teacher put on her teacher's airs, indicating she wouldn't spoil him.

"Too unfriendly, this is not the way to treat guests." Li Heng protested.

"Hehe!" She sneered repeatedly.

When the call reached about 15 minutes, she suddenly asked: "Are you calling from Shuheng's house?"

Li Heng said yes: "What's wrong, is there a problem?"

"Hanging up, I want to rest."

Hanging up as she said, the English teacher put the receiver back, not giving him any reaction time at all.

What is what, rushing to be reincarnated. Hearing the "du du du" sound on the phone, Li Heng looked up at the courtyard and also put the receiver back.

He originally wanted to call Peking to ask about his father's health, but after pondering for a moment, he gave up this thought. He could go outside the school to call when he had time; he had already occupied someone else's phone for too long tonight.

Walking out of the room and coming outside the courtyard, he shouted at the figure in front of the rose flowers: "Yu Laoshi, I'm leaving first."

"Alright." Yu Shuheng didn't turn around, she was lost in thought in front of the flowers.

Returning to the rental, Mai Sui had already cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, and the bowls and chopsticks were also washed. Li Heng said: "Don't mop the floor yet, rest for a while."

Mai Sui didn't even raise her head: "It's not very dirty, it'll be done soon, you go wash up first, you're tired after running for a day."

"Oh, alright."

He had made up for a sleep in the afternoon, so he wasn't tired, but he still found a change of clothes and entered the shower room.

20 minutes later, the two appeared in the attic together. Mai Sui was fiddling with the astronomical telescope, while Li Heng was looking at the night view in the distance from the side.

Chatting about daily life from time to time.

"I received Lijun's letter today." Mai Sui said.

"Mm."

"She said, Liu Li is very good to her, she tried to accept the other party, but failed, and couldn't convince her own heart."

"Ah?"

Li Heng said "Ah", turned his head and asked: "Then Liu Li must be heartbroken to death? He went to Renmin University specifically for Chen Lijun."

Mai Sui answered: "This wasn't mentioned in the letter, I guess Liu Li isn't having a good time either. She also mentioned you in the letter."

"Mentioned me?"

"That's right, saying you went to Renmin University to find Chen Zijin, and now everyone knows Chen Zijin has a partner."

"Mm."

When the words reached here, Mai Sui turned her head to look at him: "You went to Renmin University to find Chen Zijin, went to Peking University to find Song Yu, went to Medical University to find Xiao Han, it's to declare your sovereignty, right? But aren't you afraid that one day the matter will be exposed?"

Li Heng blinked, didn't explain for her, but said: "It's not that exaggerated."
