Chapter 238

~11 min read 2,024 words

The person across the door was taking a shower, and Li Heng, who had been running around all day, was also taking a shower.

At the same time, he was constantly paying attention to whether there would be a fight in Building 24 diagonally across tonight. Old Fu was really something, why would he take on a job he couldn't handle without the proper tools? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Speaking of tools, Li Heng looked down.

Hey! It's not that he's bragging, for girls with a thinner foundation, half would be more than enough.

Showering and washing hair takes 7 minutes, underwear 3 minutes, socks 2 minutes, it's a 12-minute job in total. As for other clothes, hey, that's the washing machine's business, it has nothing to do with him in eight lifetimes.

When hanging clothes on the balcony, he specifically leaned out to take a look. Finally, he didn't know what ultimate move Chen Siya used, but Chen Mohan was angered away.

When leaving, Professor Chen even kicked the gate hard as if venting.

Unfortunately, part of the courtyard was blocked by the wall, so he couldn't see Old Fu's pathetic figure. Otherwise, the expression on his face would definitely be very exciting, it would definitely be a good side dish for wine.

Watching a play can only be watched halfway, just like it's uncomfortable to be interrupted when the male and female leads are all set to explore the forest. It's really lacking in quality and morality.

Li Heng muttered a sentence, stretched, and entered the study.

Same as usual, first read for 1 hour.

Then it's writing.

Tonight he was writing the 36th chapter, "The Wanderers."

"It's hard to believe that such a prosperous city would exile such a primitive piece of land, letting it stay alone on the side..."

For this chapter, although he consulted a lot of materials and literature, most of it was still written according to the original framework. There was no way around it; the original work was so successful and had such great social influence that he couldn't abandon these successful factors and start from scratch. That would be more loss than gain.

Because he was too engrossed in reading and writing, he had no idea when Mai Sui and Professor Yu came over or when they fell asleep.

He only knew that when he finished writing this chapter and checked it once, the rooster outside was already crowing. It's just that he didn't know if this was the first, second, or seventh time the rooster crowed?

Damn it, he wasn't even sleepy now. Being young is great!

Suddenly he thought again, if he kept up this schedule, would he suddenly die of sudden cardiac death one day?

Thinking of sudden death, thinking of the three beloved women, he was startled.

Sitting quietly on the chair for a while, he finally made a decision: after finishing this "Cultural Bitter Journey," he would start adjusting his sleep schedule. Otherwise, if God finally showed mercy and let him be reborn once, and he died without cherishing it, wouldn't he die of regret?

This life clearly had a higher starting point than the previous one, and the upper limit was even more unreachable. What kind of scenery was outside the framework of the bottom-level people? He couldn't touch it in his previous life, but he really wanted to see it in this life.

With this thought, Li Heng decisively stopped, capped his fountain pen, tightened the ink bottle, put the manuscript into the drawer, got up, twisted his hips left and right to relax, closed the window, and went to sleep.

It was the age of being sleepy, and with no girl beside him to play the big-and-small game, he drifted into dreamland within minutes of hitting the bed.

That's right, it was dreamland, he dreamed.

He dreamed of Song Yu and her mother, Jiang Yue. The latter taught him to play the piano, and Song Yu accompanied him on the side. Initially, the scene was quite good and warm.

It's just that as he played, when he lowered his head to play intently, Jiang Yue pulled a kitchen knife from behind her back. Seeing the cold light of the blade flash, she hacked at him crazily. With a chop of her hand, a huge human head fell to the ground...

At the moment of his last consciousness, he saw a group of people walk out from behind the door, clapping their hands and cheering as they walked.

In this group, there was Wei Shiman, there was Zhong Lan, hm? What's the situation? There was even the English teacher?

Li Heng woke up! Woken up by the bloody scene!

He only had time to see the English teacher before opening his eyes, so he didn't see the others clearly.

English teacher, Run Baozi, you are so ruthless! You were the one cheering the loudest! Given our relationship, how could it come to this?

Also, Zhong Lan, you actually took a bun out of your arms and dipped it in blood to eat. Damn it! How much do you hate me!

Li Heng subconsciously reached behind his neck to touch it, touching the protruding bone. Just now in the dream, his head was chopped off from here...

Cold sweat all over!

Taking several deep breaths, when he finally came to his senses, he realized his whole body had been washed by sweat.

Damn it, it was his first time having such a nightmare. He never had one in his previous life, and he didn't know what taboo he had broken? Which god was going against him?

Li Heng leaned against the head of the bed for a full ten minutes before entering the shower room.

Washing twice in one night, no one else could do that. The miserable scene in the dream kept appearing in his mind. Li Heng, walking out of the shower room, still had lingering fears and kept zoning out.

Let me ask, watching your own head being chopped off, watching a group of intimate people clapping and cheering, and even someone dipping a bun in blood to eat, what kind of experience is that?

"What's wrong with you?"

The sky outside was already bright. Li Heng, who was looking out and absorbing fresh air on the attic, only felt a light tap on his right shoulder, and then a voice with a charming attribute entered his ears.

No need to look back to know who it was?

Mai Sui continued: "I called you just now and you didn't respond, were you zoning out?"

Li Heng asked: "Have you ever had a dream?"

"What dream? Ghost pressing on the bed?" Mai Sui asked.

"No," Li Heng briefly told her about his dream, subconsciously omitting the English teacher part.

Hearing this, Mai Sui chuckled: "It seems you're still quite afraid deep down, so why provoke three at the same time?"

Li Heng looked at the red clouds in the sky, the sun was about to come out, "You don't understand."

"Yes, I don't understand, isn't it just because the three of them are too beautiful."

Mai Sui made a rare sarcastic remark, then said: "I bought breakfast, let's eat together, otherwise the noodles will get soggy."

"Oh, okay." Li Heng then said thank you.

Breakfast was quite rich, with buns, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, and noodles.

Li Heng took a bowl of rice, sat down, and asked: "Where's Professor Yu?"

"She left, she got up and left as soon as the sky brightened, she's quite worried about Sister Chen," Mai Sui replied.

The two chatted while eating. In the middle, he suddenly remembered something Song Yu had mentioned to him in his previous life: Mai Sui's family had a major change. So he probed: "Where are your uncle and aunt doing business now?"

Mai Sui said: "My dad and his friends are developing the market in the north, Mom is guarding a few storefronts in Shaodong, and the business in the hometown of Shaodong is being managed by my grandparents."

Li Heng didn't hear anything special, and asked with concern: "Is your grandfather's health already good enough to do business?"

"Mm, more or less, no heavy lifting, just helping to collect money and check goods," Mai Sui said.

Then she asked: "When will your book be finished?"

Li Heng asked back: "It will take some time, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Mai Sui looked up, "I saw you staying up late again last night. I wanted to tell you to sleep, but I was afraid of disturbing you. Professor Yu wants me to remind you not to stay up like this every day, your body will easily collapse."

"I know, I won't after finishing this book."

Li Heng nodded, then joked: "Thank you, beautiful Professor Yu, thank you, cute Comrade Mai Sui."

"You, your mouth is really glib." Mai Sui laughed along and picked up the fried egg from the noodles for him: "Doing brain work every day, eat more to replenish."

Li Heng looked and had no reaction. This girl wasn't the first time she had picked food and meat for him, he was already used to it.

After breakfast, taking advantage of the good weather, Li Heng went downstairs to exercise as usual. He should have been running, but since he had just eaten, he changed to walking.

As soon as he went out, he met Chen Siya and greeted her: "Sister Chen, how did you sleep last night?"

His potential meaning was to ask if she had ghost pressing on the bed?

Chen Siya clearly understood his subtext, shook her head and said: "I said long ago, where do ghosts come from in this world? I slept very well."

Passing Building 24, Li Heng even shouted towards the second-floor bedroom: "Old Fu! Get up to pee!"

A cheerful voice immediately came from the second floor: "You kid! Yelling like a ghost early in the morning, bring Mai Sui to eat Western food at noon."

"Alright!" Li Heng greeted everyone he saw and left Lushan Village in a great mood.

On a lawn in Xiyuan, he saw Li Xian holding a book practicing Mandarin, and immediately went around to shout: "Princess Xian, that's not how you practice, you have to be louder, read it out loud."

"Master, you're here." Li Xian looked around, then asked happily: "Hey, where's my mistress?"

"You sure have a sweet mouth." Li Heng walked up to her and teased her a bit, "I suddenly thought of a special skill that will help your Mandarin."

"What special skill?" Li Xian asked impatiently.

Li Heng said: "Listen, read after me: Four is four."

Li Xian read: "Four is four."

"Ten is ten."

"Ten is ten."

"Forty is forty, fourteen is fourteen."

"Facts are facts, practical matters are practical matters..."

Hearing her tongue curl and her tones off, Li Heng laughed out loud.

Li Xian made a bitter face: "Master, this is too hard, I almost bit my tongue off."

Li Heng encouraged: "Practice well, once you master this sentence, you'll have mastered half of Mandarin. Keep it up."

After speaking, he patted his butt and flashed away, continuing to circle the campus.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian chased after him and asked in broken Chinese: "Master, the women's dormitory is all saying the mistress is Xiao Han, is that right?"

"Right, the news is quite well-informed," Li Heng said.

"She's so beautiful, how did you win her over?" Li Xian asked.

"No need to win her over, our fate is destined by heaven, we got together after one glance," Li Heng said.

"How did you glance? Is it like this?" Li Xian rolled her eyes at him fiercely.

Li Heng: "..."

It turns out this girl isn't easy to fool either, not as simple as before, sigh...

After chatting for a few minutes, Li Xian continued to practice Mandarin on the lawn, while he headed towards the playground, thinking about seeing if there was anyone playing basketball? His hands were a bit itchy.
