Chapter 250: Caught at a glance, the mother and daughter he never expected to die

Walking up to her with doubts, Li Heng still gave her face and called her Auntie.

As a result, there were no surprises; he was taken into the No. 25 small building by the smiling Shen Xin.

Shen Xin was meticulous and recognized at a glance that the ocarina in his hand was her daughter's. At that time, Shuheng bought three in total.

One of which her daughter often used.

One was unopened and still on the shelf.

And the third one disappeared not long ago. She didn't expect it to fall into Little Li's hands. From this, she could be more certain of some things she guessed in her heart.

Don't ask her how she knew so clearly?

Because she would occasionally come to Lushan Village when she was free, and every time she came, she would help her daughter tidy up the housework. Including wiping the dust off the musical instruments and so on.

Seeing Auntie's gaze linger on the ocarina for two seconds, Li Heng was speechless. Damn it, is this too coincidental?

How should this be explained?

Explain that this ocarina was given to Mai Sui by Yu Laoshi, and I just happened to use it, and then tonight I happened to come back from Yanyuan with Teacher?

It seems to be all the truth, but the effect may not work.

Inexplicably, he felt the misunderstanding deepened further!

Passing through the courtyard, entering the house, and pouring hot tea for Little Li and her daughter, Shen Xin was busy in the kitchen, saying she was heating up the cold late-night snack.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Heng turned his pleading eyes to Yu Laoshi.

Yu Shuheng tasted two sips of tea, then put down the cup, and used both hands to pull back her lazily scattered black hair to facilitate eating the late-night snack later.

Regarding someone's pleading eyes, she acted as if she hadn't heard, and after fixing her hair, she went to the washroom to wash her hands and face.

Li Heng followed, stood at the door of the washroom, quickly glanced at the kitchen direction, lowered his voice and asked: "Teacher, is there a misunderstanding? Let's exchange information; I can't handle Auntie's enthusiasm."

Yu Shuheng listened with a smile in her eyes, but said nothing, instead asking him if he wanted to wash his hands?

Li Heng walked in hesitantly, washed his hands, took the new towel she handed over to wipe his hands, and said thank you.

The late-night snack was very rich, not only with clear soup beef brisket, rose soy sauce chicken, salt-baked mantis shrimp, and green vegetables.

There was even a stir-fried pork with green peppers.

At a glance, Li Heng understood that Auntie had definitely put her heart into it tonight and came prepared.

And it was aimed at him!

He could think of it, and Yu Laoshi thought of it too, but the latter still didn't say anything, and after sitting down, she ate on her own.

Seeing her daughter so cold and not greeting Li Heng, Shen Xin was confused, but didn't think too much about it for a while, instead treating the "guest" for her daughter.

Shen Xin first served him a bowl of beef brisket soup: "Little Li, Auntie knows you are from Xiangnan, but don't look at this beef brisket without chili; the taste is very good. Try it."

"Oh, okay, thank you Auntie."

You don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Li Heng couldn't refuse her face, so he had to try the taste.

Huh?

The taste was surprisingly good, fresh but not greasy, and there was a faint fragrance. According to his foodie experience, this definitely came from the hands of an old master.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

"Delicious, even better than I imagined."

"Then eat more later. You look a bit thin; you need to make up for it."

"Mm, don't worry Auntie, I'm a foodie. If there's something delicious, I won't be polite."

Seeing Li Heng busy eating while struggling to cope with her mother, Yu Shuheng smiled imperceptibly, but still didn't get involved, and rested assured as an outsider.

As they talked, halfway through the late-night snack, Shen Xin suddenly asked in a good atmosphere: "Little Li still has two older sisters above?"

Li Heng was stunned.

Just one sentence revealed too much information. This aunt wouldn't have investigated him, would she?

If so, what happened behind the scenes that made the other party investigate him?

This is a question worth thinking about.

Because Aunt Shen looks like the kind of noble and imposing housewife of a big family; it's impossible to be full and bored to pay attention to a boy she has only met once.

There must be a reason.

Li Heng cast his gaze at Yu Laoshi again, still without getting a response.

He didn't give up, and touched her right foot slightly under the table with his toe, but it was still like a stone sinking into the sea.

Li Heng replied: "Yes, I have two older sisters above."

Shen Xin asked with concern: "Are you used to coming to Shanghai to study?"

"It's okay. At first, I was not used to the food, but now it's much better." He said truthfully.

As they talked, unexpectedly, Shen Xin didn't ask too much about his family, and didn't check his ancestors for eighteen generations. The whole process was just a simple chat, chatting casually, which made him relax a lot.

After eating the late-night snack, Li Heng found an opportunity to say goodbye on the grounds that it was too late, and fled the No. 25 small building.

Damn it!

The mother is as enthusiastic as fire.

The daughter is as cold as ice.

Are these two mother and daughter with such great differences really biological?

Rows of question marks appeared in his mind???

But they have one thing in common: they are not easy to get along with.

Getting along with Yu Laoshi is tiring and stressful.

Getting along with Auntie is even more tiring, for fear of saying something wrong.

As soon as Li Heng left, Shen Xin, who had just been kind-hearted, calmed down instantly and questioned her daughter: "The man you chose, why didn't you say a word all night?"

Yu Shuheng put down her chopsticks: "I just slept for a while."

Shen Xin narrowed her eyes: "Just slept for a while? Slept for a while and gave away the ancestral jade pendant?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "What did you see in him?"

Shen Xin said: "Although he is from the countryside, I am quite satisfied with his appearance, talent, and conversation. Our family is not short of gold or silver, but we haven't produced a great writer yet. He can also write *Cultural Bitter Travel* across fields, which can be considered fresh. I listened to the video tape at the welcome party for half an hour, and he is worthy of the word 'outstanding'."

Yu Shuheng said: "He is 7 years younger than me."

Shen Xin said: "In a family like ours, this is not a problem."

The mother and daughter faced each other for a long time. Yu Shuheng asked: "Did you send Auntie Cheng away?"

Shen Xin seemed to see through her daughter's thoughts: "If you want to use a Li Heng to fool me, then I tell you, you calculated wrong.

Without Auntie Cheng, there are Auntie Zhao and Auntie Sun. Your conditions are good, and there are many people who like you. In this matter, your father has always supported me.

Besides, as for the Auntie Cheng you mentioned, as long as I leak a little bit of wind, she will smell the fishy smell and pounce on it again."

The reason Shen Xin was so concerned was because of the jade pendant and the black sweater.

Especially since the lines on the left chest of the sweater were coming out, she automatically filled in a picture: Little Li and her daughter were playing with interest, used too much force, or played for too long, and the sharp teeth hooked the thread out.

Yu Shuheng had an absurd feeling of lifting a stone and hitting her own foot.

Her original intention in the morning was to use Li Heng to send away the plague god who had been pestering her for many years. She didn't expect the old plague god to be sent away temporarily, but he became the new plague god.

For a moment, she regretted revealing Li Heng's identity as a writer.

But the next second, she put away the regret.

If he were an ordinary college student, her mother wouldn't believe that she would sleep with him, nor would she look at him, and Auntie Cheng wouldn't be able to solve it at all.

Steadying her mind, she said: "Didn't you think about it? Li Heng is so talented, will there be no women around him?"

Shen Xin organized the language: "No need for talent, just by his face, many little girls will automatically rush up. Mom is a person who has come over, you don't need to use this trick to bluff me.

It is said that 'stunning is only because of little knowledge.' Generally speaking, the opposite sex met during student days will gradually lose its attraction as the man grows older and his social status changes.

They often tend to find a soul mate who can fit in both emotion and career. In this regard, I believe in my daughter incomparably."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng's eyes were half calm and half depressed. A moment later, she got up and prepared to go upstairs.

Shen Xin asked behind her: "Where are you going?"

Yu Shuheng didn't look back: "Rest."

Shen Xin pointed to the bowls and chopsticks on the table: "You tidy up the bowls and chopsticks yourself. Mom suddenly remembered something just now and needs to go home in a hurry. If you are afraid tonight, go to the opposite side to sleep."

After speaking, Shen Xin didn't give her daughter a chance to argue, picked up the bag on the sofa, and went out the door.

Yu Shuheng paused, half-turned, and watched her mother leave, without saying a word.

The mother and daughter have been together for more than twenty years and have always thought they knew each other well, but reality has taught them both a vivid lesson:

The mother didn't expect that her daughter, who had always been cold to the opposite sex, would sleep with her student.

The daughter was even more confused. Her mother, who was extremely strong outside, would one day try to send her out, not for a big family marriage, not for an extremely excellent peer, but for a little boy who had just entered university.

The direct reason is: Li Heng is an outstanding person.

The indirect reason is: she slept with him last night.

Yu Shuheng has had everything she wanted since she was a child, and could almost call the wind and rain. People around her also accommodated her, so she rarely lied.

Because there is no need to lie.

But she never expected that she told a lie on a whim in the morning, and she was trapped in it, and it was the kind that was hard to argue with.

Originally thought her mother wouldn't look at Li Heng, so she was fearless to reveal his identity as a writer, with the purpose of making this lie more real.

After all, no one is a fool. If Li Heng didn't have any outstanding features, how could she sleep with him?

But what made her want to cry without tears was: her mother actually liked it! She liked Li Heng, who had no background and was 7 years younger, at a glance.

Who can reason with this?

Standing quietly in place like a sculpture for about 10 minutes, Yu Shuheng finally came back to her senses, and then lifted her feet to the second floor.

She hadn't stayed at home for a while, and her mood was very complicated for a while.

Wandering at the entrance of the corridor for a while, she overcame her psychology and went straight to the study, habitually reading books and newspapers.

Her full score of scholarly temperament is due to her family's cultivation since childhood, and second, she loves reading, literature, and art.

She has read all three books written by Li Heng. And because of her best friend Runwen, she has always followed them for the first time.

It's just that her nature is relatively cold, which is destined not to be expressed in front of others.

The fake Daoist hasn't returned yet. Only two households at the end of the alley have lights on. Coincidentally, both Li Heng and Yu Shuheng are in the study, reading books.

The difference is that Li Heng can quickly transcend reality and immerse himself in the world of books whenever he is close to books.

And Yu Shuheng depends on her mood. If she is in a good mood, her reading efficiency is high, her speed is fast, and her insights are deep; if she has something on her mind, she is always easy to be distracted.

This is not the case tonight. She is distracted and constantly:

First, she finds the letters Runwen wrote to her this year and checks them one by one. From the lines, she feels the psychological changes of her best friend again.

More than 20 registered letters, it took more than an hour to read. Sometimes she would ponder carefully and repeatedly, pondering Runwen's contradictory and anxious psychological journey toward feelings.

Her gaze lingered on the last word of the last letter, and Yu Shuheng suddenly felt a little emotional: if it weren't for Runwen, she wouldn't have had any intersection with Li Heng at the level of private relationship.

She is a teacher, he is a student, that's all.

Even if Li Heng is a writer, even if Li Heng created *Cultural Bitter Travel*, she would at most listen to legends after tea and dinner like other teachers in the school, and be surprised that the school actually produced such a great talent.

There would be no such dilemma as it is now.

With many thoughts, Yu Shuheng finally reorganized all the letters into the drawer, and then subconsciously raised her head, looking through the window at the little boy who was bowing his head on the desk and writing hard.

After a long time, she walked out of the study, sat on the sofa, took the landline phone on the coffee table, and started dialing skillfully.

Dialed to Shaoshi.

"Ding ding ding," her fingers moved quickly on the number keys. When she entered the area code and phone number, she stopped abruptly.

Stopped above the "well" key and didn't go down for a long time.

After a while, she put the receiver back and gave up dialing.

She was stunned by the landline for a while, and then she got up and opened a bottle of red wine, poured herself half a cup, and then leaned against the wine rack and drank it slowly, drinking it in small sips, without thinking about anything, but felt that her brain was crowded with things.

After a glass of red wine, she poured another glass.

When the second glass was half drunk, she returned to the sofa again, grabbed the landline and dialed. This time it was not to Shaoshi, but to Chen Siya's hometown.

"Ding ling ling"

"Ding ling ling"

While waiting, the phone was finally connected, and a voice came from the other side: "Hello, hello."

"Auntie, it's me, find Siya."

Yu Shuheng's voice is very recognizable, sticky, warm as jade, and the other side asked: "Is it Shuheng."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute, Siya is downstairs."

"Okay."

After a while, Chen Siya answered the phone: "So late, what are you looking for me for?"

Yu Shuheng asked a question: "When are you coming back?"

Chen Siya replied: "Tomorrow. Why, are you afraid alone?"

Yu Shuheng said: "No."

Chen Siya laughed: "If you are afraid, go to Li Heng's house. It's not that you haven't slept before. You are familiar with the road, what are you reserved for?"

Yu Shuheng was silent.

Without waiting for a reply, Chen Siya asked: "Is that Xiao Han here? Not convenient?"

"Not really, just want to find someone to drink." Yu Shuheng said.

"Drink? You can also drink with Li Heng. He can drink better than me. You are a bit far away." Chen Siya said.

After speaking, she felt something was wrong and asked: "Are you in conflict with Li Heng? Don't want to go?"

"No."
