Chapter 308

"Bai Luyuan" has nearly 500,000 words, and the first chapter alone has more than 10,000 words, which is very long.

Li Heng wrote continuously for a whole morning and a noon, and his wrists were sore before he barely finished it.

Sigh! Damn it, handwriting is really tiring. I really miss the era of computers.

But having said that, complaining is complaining. If he were really given a computer, he wouldn't use it; he would choose to write by hand because this has a sense of ritual, sacredness, and weight.

Putting down his pen, he relaxed a bit, then picked up the manuscript again and read it seriously from beginning to end twice. After a long time, he picked up his pen again and pondered and refined it word by word, paragraph by paragraph.

With this refinement, he was completely immersed in his own writing world, forgetting the darkness and light, forgetting the sunrise and sunset, forgetting hunger, and forgetting time.

At 1:30 PM, Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng met in the piano room as usual, but after waiting for him for half an hour, they didn't see any movement from Li Heng.

Yu Shuheng raised her right wrist to check her watch: "He didn't eat lunch today either. Has he started writing?"

Zhou Shihe shook her head gently, "I was afraid of interrupting his train of thought, so I didn't dare to open the door to look. The curtains have been drawn since morning."

After the words fell, the two women looked at each other, and neither made a sound.

After a long time, Yu Shuheng put the violin by her feet into the violin case, stood up, and said:

"Let's not wait anymore. We'll rehearse whenever he comes out. We've been preparing for the Spring Festival Gala for so long; it doesn't matter if we delay for a while now. Writing is the big thing."

Zhou Shihe nodded, agreeing with Teacher Yu's statement.

After all, compared to Li Heng's identity as a man of letters, appearing on the Spring Festival Gala seemed a bit less important. The two women had their own scales in their hearts regarding which was lighter and which was heavier.

Walking out of the piano room, Zhou Shihe put the dishes on the table back into the steamer to keep warm.

Yu Shuheng watched from the side the whole time and said: "I have a feeling he might not be able to come out all afternoon."

Zhou Shihe replied gently: "Hmm, if he comes out late, we'll just make breakfast and dinner."

Yu Shuheng said: "Then I'll go buy some more vegetables, and you stay at home and watch."

Zhou Shihe agreed. After leaving the kitchen, she sat quietly on the sofa reading a newspaper to kill time.

She originally wanted to read world classics, but the books were in the room, and it wasn't convenient for her to get them, so she could only do this.

"Ding-a-ling!"

"Ding-a-ling!"

After 3:00 PM, the landline phone on the coffee table rang abruptly.

Zhou Shihe reacted very quickly. Fearing that the phone ringing would disturb Li Heng, who was writing in the next room, she didn't even have time to put down the newspaper, leaned forward quickly, and immediately grabbed the receiver.

"Hello, hello," she said gently.

"Hello, looking for Li Heng," a young female voice came from the other side.

Zhou Shihe subconsciously looked at the tightly closed bedroom door, "Li Heng is busy. Who is this? I'll have him call you back when he's free."

"I'm his second sister. Who are you?"

Li Lan felt that this voice was a bit unfamiliar, a bit soft, and relatively dignified. Just by listening, she felt the other party was very cultured. It seemed that among the girls she was familiar with, there was no such type.

Could it be a new love from Fudan?

Thinking wildly like this, Li Lan asked back: "Are you his classmate at Fudan University?"

Zhou Shihe said yes.

Li Lan rolled her eyes and immediately stopped talking about Chen Zijin and Xiao Han, turning to say: "The two rabbits he entrusted me to raise at home are gone. Grandma killed them to entertain guests. I wasn't at home and couldn't stop it. Please help me tell him."

Zhou Shihe couldn't laugh or cry. Did she make a long-distance call just for this? She said: "Okay."

Also: The timeline of "Bai Luyuan" is indeed a bit tight, which is Sanyue's negligence. I will definitely pay attention to stretching the interval time in the next book. Thank you, big shots, for pointing it out. But to be honest, I really like this book.
