Chapter 260: , three times, do you dare to hug me? (Seeking monthly votes!)

Four eyes met, the air was solidifying!

Time suddenly stopped!

People were almost suffocating!

After a long time, the expressionless Yu Shuheng asked coldly: "Little boy, does it look good?"

"Teacher, I didn't mean to..."

However, before Li Heng could finish his words, he was stopped by a cold look!

Seeing Professor Yu take an aggressive step forward, Li Heng subconsciously took a step back.

Professor Yu forced another step forward, and Li Heng politely retreated another step.

She took the third step, which felt as heavy as ten thousand jin.

"Once is enough, three times is too much"; Li Heng didn't retreat this time, standing still.

For a moment, you stared at me, I stared at you, and the taut nerves were about to snap.

It must be said that Professor Yu's 172cm height completely crushed him in terms of momentum!

Of course, he was in the wrong first, and she was a teacher, considered an elder, so he had to be appropriately humble.

At this moment, the two were less than half an arm's length apart, close at hand, and each other's breath almost hit the other's face.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yu Shuheng suddenly moved again; she leaned her upper body slightly forward and said eerily in his ear: "Once, twice; since you like it, how about Teacher gives you a third chance?"

These words were without head or tail, but Li Heng understood immediately.

Sleeping in the same bed while drunk was the first time.

Accidentally seeing her change clothes just now was the second time.

As for the third time...

Before he could wrap his head around it, a soul-stirring voice already came to his ear, "Giving you a third chance, do you dare to hug Teacher to the room?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was like it came from the mouth of a devil, full of threats and a "don't mess with me" vibe.

This made Li Heng suddenly remember his conversation with her on the attic this morning; if he really dared to let his hot blood go to his head, not only would he not be able to "eat" her, but he would also provoke her all-out counterattack, and the price would inevitably be heavy.

Smelling the faint woman's fragrance, Li Heng restrained his man's instinctive impulse, looked at his nose, and sighed: "Teacher, you've changed so much!"

Turning her head to carefully size up his eyes, facial expressions, and mouth and nose, after a long, long time, Yu Shuheng smiled slightly, a smile that faintly carried a bit of smugness, then she took two steps back, turned, and walked toward the stairs.

Li Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed.

The two went down the stairs one after the other, their footsteps almost identical.

But when they reached the corner in the middle of the stairs, she suddenly stopped and half-turned to gaze at him.

Looking at him with an incomprehensible gaze.

Li Heng also stopped, thought for a moment, and asked: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "How many women have you touched?"

Li Heng: "."

She pressed: "One? Or two?"

Li Heng: "."

Yu Shuheng's red lips moved slightly, clearly spitting out the words, "New Year's Day, how about I go to the capital with you?"

Li Heng's face stiffened, "Teacher, I was reckless just now; I solemnly apologize to you!"

Yu Shuheng's eyes flashed, and she asked amusingly: "What are you afraid of?"

Their eyes collided, and Li Heng whispered a reminder: "Teacher, don't play with fire."

Yu Shuheng continued to look at him, with no intention of moving.

Confronting each other, time passed second by second...

Don't know how much time passed, Li Heng's gaze changed, becoming a bit sharper, and he said mysteriously: "The last person who played with fire like this is now unable to get what they want. I advise you to think twice before acting."

Yu Shuheng's intellectual red lips moved again, several times wanting to speak but stopping, finally saying: "Unable to get what I want is because my strength isn't enough; you guess, if it were me, what would happen?"

Hearing this, Li Heng asked tit-for-tat: "What could happen? Probably like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. But, is it really worth it for you?"

Yu Shuheng asked meaningfully: "Do you know the difference between a domestic pig and a wild pig?"

Li Heng was speechless: "Domestic pigs are penned up to eat and wait for death; wild pigs find spring wherever they go."

Yu Shuheng's eyes twinkled, and she asked with a charming smile: "Then who do you think is at a disadvantage between the two of us?"

Li Heng frowned: "Hey, I'm a great writer after all; show some respect, please show some respect!"

He had to admit that the Professor Yu in front of him was fickle.

Today, her words were sharp, bold, and black-bellied, and her smile was even more charming, breaking the inherent impression in Li Heng's mind; she was no longer just a block of ice.

Hearing the word "respect," Yu Shuheng handed the violin in her hand to him, stopped taking her anger out on him, and turned to walk toward the first floor.

At this time, Zhou Shihe was still waiting in the alley, holding a wooden umbrella.

Opening the courtyard door, Yu Shuheng said: "I overslept; kept you waiting a long time."

Zhou Shihe smiled and nodded lightly, her gaze sweeping over Li Heng behind her, before walking toward her own home.

Building 27 didn't have a dedicated study; it had been converted into a music room, located on the far right of the second floor.

There were three chairs in the music room, and there was also a brand-new fabric sofa by the window; looking at its appearance, it wasn't cheap, so it must have been newly purchased by Miss Zhou Shihe yesterday.

Entering the door, Li Heng glanced at Zhou Shihe's back, then glanced at Professor Yu's back, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Between these two women, whose family background is stronger?

The reason this thought arose was really! Really because the words of the college English teacher just now left a particularly deep impression on him.

Damn it! If any of the three wives had a powerful background, Professor Yu wouldn't dare to be so fearless.

But then again, if any of the three, Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Zijin, had such a family background, perhaps it would be a different scene.

Perhaps, it would be another Professor Yu!

In his previous life, the Chen family had already tossed him around enough; Zijin burned her bridges to have a child for him, but in the end, she was still strongly obstructed by the Chen family, who wouldn't allow the two to marry.

Whenever he thought of these things, he felt resentful, which was also the reason he worked extra hard in this life, the reason he often stayed up all night! It was just to get ahead!

The piano was in the back of the room; after Zhou Shihe sat down, she sat up straight and looked at him.

Li Heng didn't sit; sitting affected playing the ocarina, so he just stood by the piano. After Professor Yu was ready, he signaled to Zhou Shihe with his eyes: indicating it was okay.

Zhou Shihe didn't respond, but placed her hands on the black and white keys, was silent for a moment, and her slender, onion-white fingers surged on the piano keys like ocean waves.

Because this girl's piano skills were superb, as soon as the prelude came out, Li Heng was quickly intoxicated in the world of music.

At a certain node, the violin also joined in.

Professor Yu, who was playing the violin, was a completely different person at this moment, returning to her normal state; she was so intellectual, elegant, and dignified, and the thick scholarly temperament made one want to take a bite but not dare to get close.

A proper poisonous apple!

Looking at Zhou Shihe again, her face was like jade, fresh and natural, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and bright in the wonderful piano melody of flowing water, penetrating straight into the soul.

Pleasant music, moving beauties; the entire music room was like an ancient painting slowly unfolding, full of poetry and picturesqueness.

Closing his eyes and following the beat, at a certain moment, Li Heng put the ocarina to his mouth with both hands and began to play.

As soon as the ocarina sound rang out, Zhou Shihe looked up at him, then continued to focus on the piano.

Yu Shuheng slowed down for a moment, then continued to cooperate.

After the song was finished, Professor Yu put down the violin and asked the two, "What do you think?"

Zhou Shihe remained quiet and didn't make a sound.

Li Heng asked keenly: "Teacher, is something wrong?"

Yu Shuheng looked straight into his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "The piece *Scenery of the Hometown* is very good, and I'm not qualified to pick faults with Shihe's piano skills, but your ocarina level is holding us back."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe looked up at him again, then looked at Professor Yu, then stood on the sidelines, not prepared to intervene.

Because objectively speaking, she felt Professor Yu's words were reasonable, but the protagonist was Li Heng, and she didn't have Professor Yu's teacher status; she was just invited to help, and if she said too much, it would easily affect the harmony.

This was already the second time Professor Yu said his ocarina was just making up the numbers; Li Heng had self-knowledge and didn't feel the other party was deliberately finding fault.

In all fairness, with Yu Shuheng's family background and her own excellent conditions, she didn't need to find fault with Li Heng at all; the reason she pointed it out bluntly was also for his sake.

He asked tentatively: "How about Teacher, you play the ocarina, and I'll accompany with the bamboo flute?"

He had seen this combination form in his previous life, and the effect was also very good.

Zhou Shihe was a bit surprised; she didn't expect him to say this. She looked at the two again and always felt it was a bit strange.

This pair of teacher and student really was one dared to say, one dared to resign; she suddenly felt she had become an outsider.

Yu Shuheng stood up, put the violin into the violin case, and then said to Zhou Shihe:

"Shihe, you practice by yourself first; I'll take Li Heng to find a quiet place to teach him the ocarina alone."

Zhou Shihe smiled and said okay.

Getting the reply, Yu Shuheng left the music room first and left Building 27.

After Li Heng and Zhou Shihe exchanged a silent glance, he followed.

The so-called quiet place was Building 25.

However, the two weren't in the living room, but chose a small room backed by a courtyard wall, which could minimize the impact of the musical instrument sound on the surrounding neighbors.

Yu Shuheng poured two cups of hot tea, then closed the small room door, turned on the electric light, and asked him: "Did you teach yourself the ocarina?"

"Yes." He was indeed self-taught in his previous life, thinking it was fun.

Yu Shuheng handed him a cup of tea, "Your foundation is good, but you lack refined guidance in many aspects like grace notes and glissando. I'll start with glissando today, striving to teach you everything I know in the shortest time."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher." Li Heng took the tea, drank a big mouthful, and put it down.

Although Professor Yu didn't leave much face when speaking, her tone was very gentle, completely different from the aggressive stance of their bickering before.

It could be seen that she really wanted to teach Li Heng some things.

Drinking half a cup of tea to ease the atmosphere, Yu Shuheng then picked up her own ocarina and said:

"When playing glissando, pay attention that the fingers are slowly wiped open along the direction of our palms; look at my gestures, wipe open slowly like this, forming a rounded upward effect."

Having said that, her mouth and hands moved in coordination, and she personally demonstrated a section of the score from *Scenery of the Hometown* three times.

Then she said: "You try."

Li Heng understood, followed suit, and played it once.

Yu Shuheng nodded, "Not bad, that's the feeling. You play a few more times, remember the pronunciation and the palm essentials."

Li Heng obediently played it several more times in a row.

"This note can be even rounder; listen carefully to me." Yu Shuheng pointed to a note and said.

Li Heng didn't speak, watching her intently.

For the next hour or so, she was very patiently guiding him, teaching him various ocarina techniques.

In the middle, her mouth was dry from talking, and she refilled her tea twice.

By the time the second cup of tea was finished, a trace of gratified smile finally appeared on her expressionless face:

"I really didn't misjudge you; you have super strong musical instrument performance talent, learn things fast, and can draw inferences from one instance. It's a pity no one taught you these things specifically before, otherwise your achievements would be far more than this."

Li Heng blinked, listening humbly.

Yu Shuheng picked up the score, "But there's only one month left before going to the capital for rehearsal; it's quite urgent, and we have no time to waste.

Like this, ignore everything else for now, just use *Scenery of the Hometown* as the benchmark; I'll teach you one-on-one, sentence by sentence, hoping to master it quickly."

"Done." Li Heng accepted readily.

Seeing he didn't object, Yu Shuheng put the ocarina to her mouth and played *Scenery of the Hometown* completely for the first time in front of him.

After listening, Li Heng was stunned in place.

As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, you know if it's there.

Damn it, this is so much better than me.

Yu Shuheng was very satisfied with his reaction; if she didn't have real skills, she wouldn't be "swelling her face to look fat" to teach him.

"I'll give you half an hour to practice to my level."

"Difficult."

"Don't say difficult; take out the determination you used to pursue Xiao Han and Song Yu, and everything is possible."

"."

Another hour passed, and Yu Shuheng, like teaching singing, led him to practice the complete repertoire 5 times hand-in-hand.

Her lips were sore from blowing, and her hands were sore, but the effect was very significant.

Relying on his good talent, Li Heng's progress could be called rapid, and his level was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was the second time she had looked at the little boy in front of her at such close range; the last time was on the bed when she woke up in the morning, quietly examining his clear features, watching his various little expressions, and Yu Shuheng felt particularly peaceful inside.

She gradually understood a little why Runwen had fallen to her current state.

She also understood a little why, even though Xiao Han was born so well, she was still obsessed with him while knowing about Chen Zijin.

This little boy indeed had the capital.

Playing halfway, feeling her different gaze, Li Heng turned to her unconsciously, their eyes met, and Yu Shuheng moved away without a trace.

By the time he was immersed in the ocarina again, she was quietly watching him again.

Around 4:30 PM, she asked: "Are you tired?"

Li Heng touched his shriveled lips, "It's okay."

Yu Shuheng opened the door: "Then let's go; while there's still time, let's go practice with Shihe for a while."

"Mm."

Returning to the music room in Building 27, when she heard Li Heng's playing again, Zhou Shihe was a bit surprised; she didn't know what Professor Yu had done, but he seemed reborn.

Ordinary people might not be able to hear it, but for professionals like them, the changes in every node and technique were very obvious.

That's why Zhou Shihe looked at him with admiration.

They practiced diligently like bees for more than an hour, stopping only when the sky outside began to darken.

Yu Shuheng rubbed her sore wrists and asked him: "Do you still have the energy to cook?"

Li Heng smacked his lips and said: "At this time, Mai Sui should have already gotten me food."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe's lively little mouth pouted slightly, and she lowered her head, holding back a laugh, her hands not stopping, tidying up the music scores on the piano.

Seeing Professor Yu sitting motionless, Li Heng sighed: "How about I make you some pork blood balls?"

Yu Shuheng didn't move, still looking at him.

Li Heng remembered the food he had promised for half a month, his eyelids jumped, and he said:

"Plus some smoked bamboo shoots and cured meat? That's all the stock at home, it was sent by Teacher Wang. Don't be ungrateful!!"

Yu Shuheng brushed her hair back with her right hand and stood up, "Siya bought me some vegetables at noon; I'll go get them."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be like this; I'm a big shot who's going to the Spring Festival Gala, I can't be a full-time nanny." Li Heng protested behind her back.

Yu Shuheng seemed not to hear, smiling as she left.

Seeing this, Li Heng turned to Zhou Shihe, "Comrade Shihe, do you want to eat good food?"

Zhou Shihe smiled and shook her head, "Sui Sui and Manning should have gotten me food."

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "I didn't say you had to do it alone; don't refuse so quickly."

Then he began to persuade her, and Zhou Shihe finally couldn't resist and was pulled into the kitchen to help.

For dinner, Mai Sui, Yu Shuheng, and Ye Ning, the three who couldn't cook, were the winners.

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe lost their pants, busy and flustered in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Mai Sui was understanding and a quick learner; she didn't spend much time chatting with the two girls before running to the kitchen to help and learn how to cook.

Yu Shuheng glanced at Mai Sui, who had slipped into the kitchen, pondered for a moment, and also walked toward the kitchen. However, she disliked the smell of cooking oil, so she didn't go in, just leaned against the kitchen door frame and sized up the three people inside.
