Chapter 223

Xiao Han tilted her head slightly, said nothing, and looked at him with a faint, pursed smile.

As their eyes met, Li Heng immediately understood the reason.

His wife had promised to come the weekend after next but hadn't kept her word, choosing instead to launch a surprise attack on a Friday afternoon when she had classes—the meaning of that was already crystal clear.

Just like how he had gone to Shanghai Medical College to stake his claim, she was holding the same purpose; although she had long delayed verbally agreeing to be his girlfriend, some things shouldn't be judged by what she said, but by her specific actions.

It was precisely because he had insight into her heart that he had greeted her as "wife" just now; while giving her plenty of face, it also served to prove his own innocence.

Otherwise, with Li Xian sitting right next to him, it would be hard to explain.

Li Heng was very excited. In front of the crowd, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and after a long while, kissed her on the forehead and asked, "Did you come alone?"

"No, Zhang Zhang Haiyan came too. She went to the Computer Science Department to find a classmate." Xiao Han answered as such.

In fact, she had specifically asked Zhang Zhang Haiyan to come along, with the purpose of seeing him.

"That's good." In this era, squeezing onto such a long-distance bus—he might be at ease with others, but with Xiao Han and Song Yu, he still felt some worry.

Feeling his concern, Xiao Han's brows curved, and she smiled until her little eye-bags appeared, saying nothing.

Watching the two of them being so intimate, watching Li Heng hold Xiao Han, watching Li Heng kiss Xiao Han on the forehead, the people in Statistics Class 1 were blown away—not verbally, but spiritually. Many female students had their hearts broken.

Everyone looked at each other, never having imagined that Li Heng, who was usually gentle and polite to others, could have such an explosive and bold side.

However, a moment later, when everyone's gaze gathered on Xiao Han's stunningly beautiful face, the whole class felt relieved—in life, if one could meet such a woman, who wouldn't treasure her?

Li Xian smiled and offered her blessings from the side, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that her smile was like paste stuck on—it only covered the surface, and as long as one reached out to tear it, one could even glimpse the sorrow and pain beneath the smile.

Liu Yue's brows furrowed tightly, and an indescribable emotion spread from her heart throughout her entire body. Afterward, she stopped looking at this pair of "dogs," sat down at her seat, and pondered whether to have a showdown with her aunt.

She understood that her aunt was wary of her being at Fudan and wary of Li Heng being her classmate, so she had always been relatively restrained and reserved, completely losing the bold admiration for Li Heng she had shown in her letters before.

Dorm 325 was completely stunned and dumbfounded. They had all previously thought that Li Heng saying he had a girlfriend was just to reject the pursuit of other girls; they hadn't expected Old Li to be for real.

Seeing the boys in the dorm dumbstruck, Zhang Bing objectively said, "No wonder Old Li doesn't look at Dai Qing or Li Xian and the others. Sigh, with such a soulmate, who would be willing to look at anyone else? I finally understand Old Li."

Tang Tang Tang Dailing chimed in, "Brother Bing, you're absolutely right. My heart is full of Wei Wei Sisi now; no one else can even enter my eyes."

Li Li Li Guoyi twisted his mouth and retorted, "Bah! Old Tang, you're speaking too soon. Let me ask you, if you could swap Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe for Wei Wei Wei Sisi, would you be willing?"

Tang Tang Tang Dailing shook his head: "Not willing."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhangming gave a thumbs up: "Old Tang is still the most devoted; a role model for our generation."

Unexpectedly, Tang Tang Tang Dailing continued to shake his head: "It's not that. It's mainly because I feel Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe wouldn't look at me; this assumption doesn't hold. And even if Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe did look at me, I couldn't afford to support her. I've inquired about it—that grand piano of hers at the orientation party is measured in units of ten thousand yuan. Even if we killed all 10 members of my family and sold the meat, we wouldn't have enough for the spare change."

Hearing this, Dorm 325 fell into collective silence.

Although they were just blowing hot air, a woman like Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who combined beauty, temperament, and talent, was simply not someone they could imagine or get close to.

Even Hu Ping and Li Li Li Guoyi, who usually felt superior, had the same thought: Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe could never belong to them.

Tang Tang Tang Dailing's words made Dorm 325's gaze toward Li Heng and Xiao Han change again—becoming envious, becoming admiring, and with a tiny bit of jealousy.

This jealousy perhaps wasn't malicious, but it was human nature.

The handsome Hu Ping pinched his thigh and secretly made a resolution: he couldn't compare to Old Li, and he didn't dare to pursue Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, but he must strive to win over Wei Wei Wei Xiaozhu. Otherwise, he would be too far behind Old Li, which was something he couldn't accept.

Don't look at how Hu Ping was usually polite to Li Heng; deep down, he still had a trace of competitiveness. It was just that as Li Heng's versatility was developed and discovered, this trace of competitiveness had faded a lot, but today, Li Heng and Xiao Han showing their affection had stimulated him.

The most miserable was Li Guang, whose eyes were about to bleed. Damn it! Brother Heng doesn't make a move if he doesn't, but once he does, it's earth-shattering, getting a "King-level" partner. How was he supposed to stay in 325? He was the only one left in the dorm without anyone to rely on.

Regardless of the outside disturbances, as the class bell rang, Li Heng pulled Xiao Han back to their seats and said, "The fifth and sixth periods are Advanced Mathematics. The teacher might take attendance, so keep me company."

"I have to give Mr. Li face; this young lady hasn't even found dinner yet," Xiao Han said cheerfully.

Accompanying her sweetheart to class and brushing up her presence in his class—she couldn't wait for it. She had taken in the expressions of Li Xian and Liu Yue just now and was very satisfied.

Having Song Yu and Chen Chen Chen Zijin as love rivals was enough; there couldn't be any more. She couldn't have just any Tom, Dick, or Harry crowding around her honey. As the great beauty he thought of but couldn't have, she had an obligation to help him clear out the weeds and vines. She thought black-heartedly.

The Advanced Mathematics teacher was very cunning; he really did take attendance, and he did it just as the sixth period was about to end, breaking some students who wanted to skip class into a cold sweat.

Two periods passed in a flash. When the professor left the classroom, Li Heng packed up his books and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest?"

Xiao Han answered, "I'm okay."

Li Heng said, "Since it's your first time at Fudan, I'll take you for a stroll around campus."

Xiao Han revealed her little dimples, "I'll listen to you."

Following the flow of people, Li Heng took Xiao Han out of the classroom and arrived in the hallway.

At this moment, Zhou Min, who was walking in front, looked at her friend Liu Yue beside her, then looked back at Xiao Han behind her, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Li Heng, are you and your partner from the same place?"

"Yes, we were junior high and high school classmates," Li Heng said.

A sentence about being junior high and high school classmates was worth more than a thousand words; so they had known each other for so many years.

Walking down the stairs and out of the teaching building lobby, Liu Yue handed her books to Zhou Min, "Help me take these books back to the dorm; I'm going home for a bit."

Zhou Min asked, "Didn't we agree to have hot pot in the dorm tonight? What's wrong? You're not going?"

Liu Yue said, "Something came up suddenly; I have to go home. You guys go ahead and eat."

Walking around campus with a woman like Xiao Han was an extremely cool thing. Her beauty advantage was fully manifested; no matter where they went, every passing boy and girl had to take several looks.

The spirited Xiao Han wore a sweet smile on her face and followed him to almost tour the entire Fudan campus.

Walking all the way, Li Heng was already exhausted, but she was still full of energy. He lifted his left wrist to check his watch, "It's 3 minutes to 5. Let's go, I'll take you to eat at the best restaurant outside the school."

Xiao Han said, "Not outside. Take me to your cafeteria. I thought about it before I came—today I have to taste the food at your Fudan University on behalf of Lady Song and Lady Chen, to see if their husbands have been wronged here."

Li Heng's mouth twitched: "It's much the same as your school; are you sure?"

Xiao Han waved her hand: "It's fine."

Alright then, he understood a bit—his wife was probably determined today to let the whole school know he had a partner, not giving him any chance to flirt.

The problem was, since entering university, he had been diligently reading and writing, and behaving himself.

Last time backstage at the school orientation party, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was so beautiful, and she was delivered right to him for him to look at, yet he hadn't even taken a second look, okay?

There aren't many good men like him left in the world, really not many, Li Heng muttered shamelessly, turned a corner, and led her toward the cafeteria.

"Hey, Li Heng, you're here to eat too?"

Just as they arrived at the cafeteria entrance, they ran into Senior Ye Ye Ye Zhanyan, who was accompanied by Zhao Zhao Zhao Menglong. The two looked at Xiao Han with curiosity.

"Hello, Senior," Li Heng greeted.

Ye Ye Ye Zhanyan asked, "Is this your legendary girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"

Li Heng held Xiao Han's hand: "Uh, yes, this is my partner."

Then he briefly introduced Senior Ye and Zhao Zhao Zhao Menglong.

Xiao Han didn't say a word, just responded politely with a faint, pursed smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four parted ways.

Before leaving, Ye Ye Ye Zhanyan looked back at Xiao Han's back several times and sighed, "Such a talented person was actually snatched away by a girl from another school."

Zhao Zhao Zhao Menglong shook his head and nodded, "Indeed. I heard the Spring Festival Gala director wanted the recording of the orientation party. Do you think 'The Scenery of My Hometown' will be adopted?"

"This is a society of human connections; it's hard to say."

Ye Ye Ye Zhanyan said, then added a sentence: "But if even a piece like this isn't chosen, then I think the so-called Spring Festival Gala director's taste is just so-so."

Entering the cafeteria, Li Heng and Xiao Han each ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, costing a total of one yuan and forty cents.

Xiao Han said, "The food is quite good. Why is Mr. Li so disdainful?"

Li Heng said, "It's not disdain; I just wanted to take you to eat the best in the world."

Xiao Han praised, "You really know how to cherish women; no wonder your ambition is so big."

Li Heng: "."

He said resentfully: "If you keep making veiled criticisms like this, I'm going to lie on the ground and roll around."

Xiao Han smiled at him perfectly, smiling out a long sequence of shots.

Li Heng was dissatisfied: "When you're with me, why do you always bring them up?"

Xiao Han teased: "Who are they?"

Li Heng was speechless.

Xiao Han smiled, her toes slowly rubbing the floor, drawing scars on the ground, "The past 6 years have made me heartbroken. I'm not someone who forgets the pain once the wound is healed. But Mr. Li is the exact opposite—if this one doesn't work, you turn to that one, isn't that right?"

Her voice was soft, but every word weighed a thousand jin, pointing straight at Li Heng's chest, pressing him until he couldn't breathe.

He reached out to hold her hand, his eyes sincere and earnest.

Facing his gaze, Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "Look, it's just like this. You've figured out that I care about you. As long as you slightly crook that finger of yours, I have to let bygones be bygones, painstakingly travel from the Medical College to Fudan, and cooperate with you to act out this play of 'the husband sings and the wife follows'."

Li Heng corrected: "It's not acting it out; it's real."

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say." Seeing dozens or hundreds of eyes looking over from the surroundings, Xiao Han instantly deflated, losing her earlier high spirits. Her ears burned, and she was obediently led away by him.

The scene of the two being affectionate was coincidentally bumped into by Mai Sui, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, and Ye Ning, who had rushed to the cafeteria to eat.
