Chapter 258

Professor Shiing-Shen Chern?

This person is a big shot who once refused to cooperate with Einstein, and the famous Shing-Tung Yau is also his student.

Many people believe he is the number one person in the Chinese mathematical community.

I really didn't expect that Old Fu was actually Professor Chern's student. Based on this alone, Old Fu had the capital to be proud.

"Then do you have any contact with your mentor now?" Li Heng asked.

"During the summer vacation, I stayed with him for half a month." Old Fu learned his way of pretending to be cool and looked up at the sky.

Li Heng smiled and said: "I plan to ask Sister Chen to see a movie tonight. Do you think it will be successful?"

Hearing this, Old Fu immediately lowered his arrogant head: "You kid, you can't even take care of the many beautiful girls around you, yet you still come to sting me? Can you be a human being?"

Li Heng made a "hee hee" sound and turned to ask: "By the way, there's one thing I've been forgetting to ask you. Yu Laoshi is oppressed by a ghost when she sleeps. Have you encountered it recently?"

Mentioning this, Old Fu frowned: "In these 20-plus days, I've encountered it ten or so times. I don't know what kind of ghost gate it is."

Li Heng asked: "Was there one last night?"

"Twice last night. I was startled awake in the middle of the night, and after finally falling asleep half an hour later, it came a second time." Old Fu said depressedly.

Li Heng thought to himself, could it be that the rooster blood and lead wire are effective? That thing couldn't get into Yu Laoshi's house, so it focused on staying at Old Fu's house?

He said: "It proves that the Daoist you invited last time was fooling you. I suggest you find someone more powerful."

Old Fu indicated: "But I've encountered it before, and I also had experiences in the United States."

Li Heng joked: "Then it seems you're a sweet pastry; you can be missed wherever you go."

Old Fu curled his lips: "Full of shit, nonsense."

Then the fake Daoist said: "Hey, strange? Both Yu Laoshi and I have had accidents, why haven't you been affected?"

Li Heng said righteously: "Have you heard a saying: 'Read wonderful books of the past and present, cultivate the noble spirit.' I'm a writer; wouldn't that thing have to roll as far away as possible when it sees me? How would it dare to trouble me?"

Old Fu circled around him: "Tsk tsk, no wonder Yu Laoshi often goes to your house to spend the night."

Li Heng's eyelids jumped: "You know?"

Old Fu grinned happily and said: "Don't think that people don't know, unless you don't do it yourself. Being so close, do you really think I'm blind?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes and gave him an idea: "I have a set of methods for dealing with ghost oppression."

Old Fu didn't believe it: "You haven't even grown all your hair, what methods could you have?"

Li Heng said to himself: "Why not try it and see? If you encounter this thing again in the future, don't turn on the lights, just catch it naked in the room, and you must curse while doing it. The fiercer and louder you curse, the better.

Use your hands to grab around, crazily catching it from one corner of the room to the other. Be fast and have enough momentum. If you try this a few more times, it will be scared away and never dare to come again."

Old Fu was confused: "Must I not wear clothes?"

Li Heng explained: "You can't, being naked has strong yang energy, which can overcome it. It's best to hold some weapons in your hands."

Old Fu kept these words in his heart, but said on his lips: "I'm a scientist, I don't believe in these superstitions."

Returning to Lushan Village, Li Heng sent a large portion of the breakfast he brought back from the Blue Sky Hotel to the No. 27 small building.

Mai Sui opened the door.

He asked: "Why are you so sleepy, didn't you close your eyes all night?"

Mai Sui answered, "No, the three of us were chatting all night last night and only went to sleep very late."

Li Heng scanned behind her, "Are they two still not up?"

Mai Sui said: "They're already up, washing up upstairs."

Li Heng handed over the breakfast: "Brought back from the Blue Sky Hotel, eat it while it's hot."

Mai Sui reached out to take it and responded with an "okay."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to praise: "Our Comrade Mai Sui is still so beautiful even if she hasn't rested well."

Mai Sui gave a charming smile, her eyes full of his figure.

Li Heng shook the other small portion of breakfast in his hand, "It's too cold, it's easy to get cold, I have to hurry and send this to Yu Laoshi. Remember to call me to go together at noon."

"Hmm." Mai Sui watched him knock open the No. 25 courtyard gate before going upstairs.

Yu Shuheng was still the same, opening the door without speaking, stepping aside to signal him to come in.

Li Heng originally wanted to turn around and go home, but seeing this, he walked in: "Teacher, are you looking for me for something?"

Yu Shuheng poured a cup of hot water, sat on the sofa, and while eating breakfast in small bites, said softly: "20 minutes ago, a call came from the capital, you weren't at home."

"My second sister called?" Li Heng asked.

Yu Shuheng looked at him and slowly spat out a few words: "She called herself Chen Zijin."

Li Heng nodded, then sat opposite her, watching her every move. The meaning was quite obvious: Beloved Teacher, can you have some sense of awareness? Spare some time for me, I need to make a phone call.

But this time Yu Laoshi was different from the past; she lost that understanding, didn't leave at all, and lowered her head to eat her breakfast on her own.

10 minutes later, she finished eating, then picked up a book and read it elegantly. Judging by her posture, she still had no intention of leaving.

Li Heng had to remind her: "Teacher, you should wash your hands after eating breakfast."

Yu Shuheng raised her head, the playfulness in her eyes flashing by, but she didn't make a sound, just staring at him like that.

Looking at each other, after confronting each other for two minutes without blinking, Li Heng, whose eyes were tired, was defeated and moved his gaze away calmly, saying:

"This scene is familiar, it reminds me of someone."

Her red lips moved slightly, and she said leisurely: "Who? Do I know them?"

Li Heng answered: "Yes, my high school English teacher."

Yu Shuheng's eyes flashed, and then she asked strangely: "Young boy, what do you want to express?"

Li Heng protested: "I'm 19 years old this year."

Yu Shuheng said disdainfully: "19 is still a young boy."

Li Heng said: "Yes, that's the kind. At first, she was just like you, with a condescending attitude toward me, scolding me at the slightest provocation, and kicking me directly at the worst. But after the college entrance examination, she followed me all over China."

Yu Shuheng was silent for a long time before speaking: "Are you very confident?"

Li Heng smacked his lips: "No, I'm just concerned and reminding you."

Yu Shuheng smiled and asked with the appearance of having everything under control: "Since you're so narcissistic, do you want me to issue a challenge? To Xiao Han? Or Song Yu? Or this Chen Zijin?"

Then she added: "Of course, I can also show extraordinary charm and fight them all three at the same time."

Li Heng: "."

Yu Shuheng said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Those women around you, including Runwen, including Miss Huang you might have seen this morning, I can also clean them all up together."

Li Heng: "."

He couldn't help but ask: "You know her?"

His question was aimless, but Yu Shuheng understood it immediately, "Because we are close, I have been to the Blue Sky Hotel many times with school teachers in the second half of the year, and I have met her 4 times, each time in the same position by the window. I guess she is waiting for someone, but unfortunately, the person she met is not a good person."

Li Heng's mouth twitched.

Through the conversation just now, he confirmed one thing. This Yu Laoshi, who looks as cold as an iceberg on the outside, actually has very good skills in being sarcastic. In this regard, it has the same effect as some of Xiao Han's characteristics.

Li Heng said nonsense with his eyes open: "Teacher, breakfast was bought at the school gate."

Yu Shuheng stared into his eyes: "You know how to appreciate beauties, I know how to appreciate food, but I'm not as thick-skinned as you, nor do I love lying so much."

After looking at each other for a while, Li Heng simply laid his cards on the table: "Hey, Wang Laoshi asked you to take care of me, not to watch jokes all day."

His underlying meaning was: Can this phone call still be made?

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly, got up, and went to the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her hands.

She had a habit of rinsing her mouth simply after every meal to ensure her teeth were clean and tidy.

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and finally left.

He leaned forward, took the landline from the coffee table, and dialed the number in the capital.

Then he waited.

During this gap, he noticed that it suddenly started raining outside, ding-dong, raindrops hitting the eaves and tiles, sounding exceptionally heavy in his ears.

This winter is a bit unusual, so much rain. Or is it that the winter of '87 was like this?

Just as his thoughts drifted away, a voice came from the receiver.

It was Zijin's: "Hello, is this Li Heng?"

"Wife, it's me." Li Heng said happily after coming back to his senses.

Chen Zijin on the other end was a bit shy and hurriedly said: "It's on speakerphone, Second Sister and my aunt are here, and Auntie is here too."

This "Auntie" referred to Tian Run'e.

At this time, everyone had different expressions. Chen Xiaomi had complicated feelings, but she was still happy for her niece.

Second Sister was smiling on the surface, but in her heart, she despised her younger brother fiercely: calling her wife on this side, while maybe kissing Xiao Han every few days on the other side, and still thinking about a Song Yu. Who will eventually get the title of "wife" is really not certain.

Li Lan was even considering: if he meets a stunning girl at Fudan University, heh! It might upgrade from the Three Kingdoms to the Seven Warring States.

Tian Run'e's face was full of kindness. Although she still had many dissatisfactions with the Chen family, she truly liked Zijin through the time they spent together; she was sensible, beautiful, generous, and a college student.

Putting the Chen family aside, if the Li family had such a daughter-in-law, they would be satisfied beyond satisfaction, as if the ancestral grave was smoking.

However, Tian Run'e, like her second daughter, was very worried. She had seen the Xiao family girl, and her beauty was something she estimated her son would never be able to let go of in his life, and she even followed him to Shanghai. One day, it would explode, and the secret would be revealed. Sigh! What should she do?

Li Heng was very thick-skinned. Second Sister and his mother were his own family, and Chen Xiaomi also knew that he and Zijin had shared a bed several times, so there wasn't much to hide.

After greeting everyone, he asked about the situation.

Comrade Li Jianguo wasn't there; he went for a walk with Chen Gaoyuan. It was rare for the two heads of the families to meet, so the women didn't interfere.

Second Sister found a job in the capital, working as an apprentice, learning pastry making from a master. She was very interested in this aspect.

Because her husband's health was gradually improving, Tian Run'e's mood was getting better day by day, and she would often go to major scenic spots with Chen Zijin. The place they went to most was Tiananmen; she liked it there.

Upon learning that Li Heng was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, an exclamation erupted over there, followed by joy.

Chen Zijin asked with a smile: "Then when are you coming over?"

Li Heng said: "On the 29th, I'll come over to spend New Year's Day with you and Mom and the others."

Getting the exact date, Chen Zijin hummed twice with full joy.

Just at this moment, Yu Shuheng walked out of the washroom and heard this, immediately understanding his little scheme: he said this morning he would help buy a plane ticket for the 28th, it seems this young boy plans to play the time difference and go to Peking University to visit Song Yu first.

Should I buy him a plane ticket for the 29th?

Say the plane tickets for the 28th are sold out?

Yu Laoshi glanced at someone, and a thought like this suddenly arose in her heart.

Because they hadn't talked on the phone for a long time, this call lasted quite a while, continuing for more than half an hour.

After it ended, Li Heng got up and went to the attic to find Yu Laoshi, taking out a handful of bills and handing them over.

Yu Shuheng didn't take them, looking into the distance: "As food expenses."

Hearing this, Li Heng put the money back in his pocket and turned to leave.

Yu Shuheng called him back: "I slept peacefully last night, thank you."

Li Heng flattered her like a sycophant: "No need, you are my teacher, it's only right for a student to help a teacher resolve worries."

"Is that so? The intention is quite high."

Yu Shuheng smiled, "I plan to go to Shaoshi on New Year's Day, do you want to follow along? Help your high school teacher resolve worries?"

Li Heng's eyes widened to his forehead, answering irrelevantly: "Teacher, you are in a good mood today, more beautiful than usual."

Yu Shuheng withdrew her gaze from the horizon, and a strange look stayed on his face for three seconds, "If it were Runwen, should she cross her arms and curse you to get lost?"

Li Heng said immediately: "Wang Laoshi is very gentle."

Yu Shuheng said: "Before entering the door, you praised Mai Sui for being beautiful, just now you praised me for being beautiful, and now you praise Runwen for being gentle. When you meet Zhou Shihe later, what should you say? Should you say she is beautiful, pretty, and gentle?"

Li Heng: "."

It turns out this woman heard every word of his conversation with Mai Sui earlier?

If that's the case, then he must be more careful when talking in the alley in the future. Damn it! He didn't want to be a transparent hole.

Leaving the No. 25 small building, Li Heng didn't waste time, ducked into the study without stopping, filled his fountain pen with ink, spread out his notebook, and after sitting quietly to brew some emotions, began to write on the white paper: Chapter 40, it's really quiet here.

Yes, according to the plan, there are only the last three chapters left of "Cultural Bitter Travel," and he would strive to finish Chapter 40 today.

His hardworking demeanor was seen by Yu Shuheng on the attic across the way. After looking at him from across the distance for a while, she got up and went into the room to make a phone call.

Calling her best friend Runwen.

"Ding-a-ling"

"Ding-a-ling"

"."

The phone rang for a long time before it connected. The moment it was picked up, a voice drilled into Wang Runwen's ears: "I just watched him for a long time."

"How did you watch? Did you watch him take off his clothes?"

"If you're going to be like this, I'm hanging up."

Wang Runwen asked: "Do you know about the destruction of opium at Humen?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I know."

Wang Runwen sneered: "You know and you still stare at him? He's more addictive than opium. Be careful yourself, don't get caught and still think you're the one overlooking the masses."

Yu Shuheng said meaningfully, "I just watched him for a while, I didn't lose any weight, you don't need to be so angry."

Wang Runwen sat down and crossed her legs: "I'm just fulfilling a best friend's duty to remind you."

Yu Shuheng said: "You two actually said the same thing. An hour ago, he also reminded me."

Wang Runwen asked, "What did he say?"

Yu Shuheng repeated the ins and outs of the matter.

Wang Runwen was stunned and silent after hearing it.

Not waiting for a reply, Yu Shuheng got up and made a cup of coffee, then asked: "Why aren't you making a sound? Even if my family has a big business, phone bills aren't meant to be wasted like this."

Wang Runwen sighed: "Don't worry about his affairs in the future."

The coffee at her lips stopped, and Yu Shuheng asked concisely: "Reason?"

Wang Runwen turned on the sarcasm mode: "Aren't the previous lessons enough? Sending a sesame seed and having to pay with a watermelon?"

Yu Shuheng smiled lightly: "Watermelon? I'm just afraid his teeth aren't good enough to eat it."

Wang Runwen sneered repeatedly: "Before the watermelon is officially on the market, it's relatively expensive. Once it's in season, heh, the price of rotten cabbage. Don't come to me to complain in the future."

Yu Shuheng took a small sip of coffee, squinted her eyes to enjoy it for a while, and then took another sip, "Shaoshi is a bit small after all, thinking the sky the size of a well cover is the whole world. Runwen, you should come out and walk around."

Wang Runwen straightened up: "Are you saying I'm sitting in a well and watching the sky?"

Yu Shuheng continued to drink her coffee.

Wang Runwen crossed her arms, shook her hair, and made a harsh threat: "I'll give you one sentence: a single spark can start a prairie fire. I'll give you a second sentence: the reason a toad is a toad is because it often eats swan meat. If you ever really get caught by the frog in the well, I'll set off 100 strings of firecrackers to celebrate."

Yu Shuheng gave a refined smile, "Hearing this, I finally believe that your body is completely healed."

Wang Runwen drank some water with a dry mouth, "What is he doing?"

Yu Shuheng looked up at the opposite side: "He should be writing 'Cultural Bitter Travel'."

Wang Runwen asked: "About when will he finish writing?"

Yu Shuheng said: "It should be in these few days."

Wang Runwen thought for a while and asked: "Is he very popular with girls at university?"

Yu Shuheng said: "This question shouldn't come from your mouth, it's not high-level."

Wang Runwen mocked: "Someone just compared him to a frog in a well, how dare I show my level?"

Yu Shuheng wasn't annoyed, saying slowly: "It's different."

Wang Runwen shook her legs, "Yes, you are indeed different from them, hanging up!"

Yu Shuheng called out: "Wait a minute."

Wang Runwen yawned, "If you have something to say, say it! Don't affect my lunch break."

Yu Shuheng was stunned, and after a while, said gently: "We've known each other for so many years, this is the first time you've cursed at me."

Wang Runwen was silent.

Yu Shuheng said: "I'll come to see you on New Year's Day."

Wang Runwen replied: "What do you want to eat?"

Yu Shuheng said: "The pork blood balls he makes are quite tasty, you just make that."

Wang Runwen curled her lips: "I won't."

Yu Shuheng smiled, turning the coffee cup in her hand and saying: "I'm going to be on the Spring Festival Gala with him, you come to the capital then, and let's spend the New Year together."

Hearing this, Wang Runwen's tone immediately softened a bit: "Tell me in detail about the Spring Festival Gala."

Yu Shuheng told her about the Spring Festival Gala in detail.

After listening, Wang Runwen refused: "Forget about the capital, you can come to Shaoshi, or I'll go to Shanghai to find you."

Women understand women, and Yu Shuheng immediately understood why she didn't want to go to the capital, "If it's Shaoshi, it depends on the situation."
