Chapter 337

At first, Yu Shuheng didn't take her mother's words seriously, drinking her tea calmly.

It wasn't until Shen Xin took out her phone book, found Principal Sun's home number, and really dialed it that she put down her teacup and reached out to hang up the landline.

Mother and daughter looked at each other. After a good while, Shen Xin asked, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin?"

What does "won't shed tears until you see the coffin" mean?

The underlying meaning is: You won't recognize your own heart until you feel the pain once? You won't be willing to bow your head?

Yu Shuheng unplugged the phone line, said nothing, and made no defense.

Shen Xin stared at her daughter's profile for a while, put the receiver back, and then said to Zhou Shihe on the television:

"Based on Mom's decades of experience, this Zhou Shihe looks soft and weak on the outside, which is very attractive to men. But on the inside, she is a person with extremely strong opinions.

If one day Li Heng provokes her, she will either not enter the game, or if she does, she will use thunderous means to obtain everything he has. By then, all these girls around him added together might not be her opponents."

Yu Shuheng paused the teacup at her lips and asked softly, "Is that how you feel too?"

Shen Xin nodded, "Up to now, Mom's judgment hasn't been wrong."

At this point, the living room fell into silence. For the 5th time, "The Scenery of My Hometown" came from the television.

After listening to it again, Yu Shuheng smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it doesn't count as a bad thing."

Shen Xin asked, "Oh? How so?"

Yu Shuheng thought for a moment and said, "I've never figured out one problem."

Shen Xin asked, "What problem? Say it out, Mom will help you analyze it."

Yu Shuheng said the thoughts in her heart: "Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Chen Zijin—Li Heng seems to want all three. If this were an average person, they would absolutely not show it too early; stealing a bite one by one is the best strategy.

But he has no taboos about this, even going so far as to let the three women know about each other. Wearing 3 scarves at the Spring Festival Gala is a case in point."

Shen Xin pondered for a while, "You mean, Li Heng's persistence toward the three women is beyond imagination? You haven't figured out why he is so paranoid about the three women?"

Yu Shuheng said, "Something like that."

At this point, Shen Xin seemed to understand, looking at Zhou Shihe on the television, "You mean, if Zhou Shihe enters the game, she will be at odds with the three of them and break his paranoia?"

Yu Shuheng acquiesced.

Shen Xin raised her eyebrows: "Why be stupid enough to wait for someone else to break the stalemate?

Wouldn't it be better for you to enter the game yourself?

Go to Bai Luyuan to accompany him for a month and get pregnant. By the time they graduate from college, your child will already be in kindergarten. What business would the three of them have then?"

Yu Shuheng, who was drinking tea, was almost choked by the tea. She put down her cup, got up, and walked toward the stairs.

Shen Xin asked from behind, "Where are you going?"

"Back to school."

After saying this, Yu Shuheng went down the stairs and soon disappeared from her mother's sight.

This sleep, Li Heng slept for a bit long.

When he woke up again, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Coming out of the bedroom, Li Heng searched the second floor and couldn't find Mai Sui's shadow, then came to the first floor, still no one.

Just as he began to worry, his gaze drifted to a note on the coffee table, which read: I went to buy groceries with Yu Laoshi.

A simple line of text, and Li Heng felt at ease instantly.

Pondering in place for a moment, he brought the relevant materials and rode his bicycle to the bank. He had promised to remit 5,000 to his second sister; today was already the 10th, she should be waiting, right?

At this time, there weren't many people at the bank. After spending more than ten minutes handling the business, just as he turned to leave, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance, Li Guoyi.

To be precise, Li Guoyi didn't come alone this time; there was also someone with long hair fluttering beside him.

The reason he called her "senior" was because that's what Li Guoyi called her.

It's just that he didn't know if she was a high school senior or a college senior.

Li Heng originally intended to say hello, but the two left together after taking the money, chatting and laughing, and didn't notice him as they passed by.

Why did Old Li come to school so early? Or was his uncle in this area?

The doubt flashed by. After Li Heng ran to the department store to buy a box of dark chocolate, he rode his bicycle back to Lushan Village.

As it happened, just as he had locked his bike and hadn't entered the house yet, he saw Yu Shuheng coming out of the courtyard opposite, "Your phone."

"Yu Laoshi, who is looking for me?" Li Heng asked, looking up.

Yu Shuheng was like a lump of iceberg; she glanced at him and went straight into the courtyard to water the flowers and plants.

*Fine*, she didn't seem to appreciate him much today, Li Heng muttered, running to the coffee table on the second floor and grabbing the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"

"Junior brother, it's me."

The voice of Chief Editor Liao came from the other side of the phone: "Can you spare some time in the next two days?"

Li Heng asked, "Is something up?"

Chief Editor Liao said, "Didn't you ask about Mai Sui's fortune before the New Year? I happen to be free these few days, so I'll take you over there."

Li Heng asked, "To see your master?"

Chief Editor Liao said yes.

Li Heng asked, "Which day is convenient for you?"

Chief Editor Liao said, "Both days are fine."

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "Better early than late. How about tomorrow? What do you think?"

"Deal, I'll come to pick you up around 9 o'clock tomorrow," Chief Editor Liao said.

Li Heng agreed.

Then he asked, "You didn't tell her about this, did you?"

She referred to Huang Zhaoyi.

Chief Editor Liao gave a bitter smile: "Junior brother, don't worry. If she doesn't ask me actively, I will never tell others about your affairs. Even if something happens in the future, I won't hide it from you; I will tell you the first time."

Hearing this, Li Heng said, "Then do you think she will run to Bai Luyuan?"

Chief Editor Liao shook his head: "Probably not? The possibility is not high."

Li Heng was surprised: "Oh?"

Chief Editor Liao cleared his doubts: "I've tested her for you. Zhaoyi's thoughts are very simple; she doesn't want to force you too hard, fearing that she will make you unhappy."

Then Chief Editor Liao added: "Following the plane to Chang City last time was a whim, and she couldn't control herself."

Li Heng realized, "Did she ask you to say this last part?"

"You could say that. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she actually hoped I would pass the message to you and give you an explanation. She doesn't want you to imagine her as a pervert."

At this point, Chief Editor Liao sighed, "Sigh, Zhaoyi is a very understanding person, mostly very rational, and also relatively decisive.

But toward you, she seems to have revealed a side different from usual."

Li Heng was silent for a while and said, "Senior brother, let's stop here for today; I have to go back to cook."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

The call ended. Just as Li Heng put the receiver back and was pondering about this woman Huang Zhaoyi in his heart, he suddenly found a steaming cup of coffee handed over from the right. Without thinking, he blurted out:

"Thank you, Yu Laoshi."

After speaking, feeling that something was wrong, he turned his head abruptly and was suddenly shocked.

Guess who he saw?

It was actually Aunt Shen Xin, who was looking at him with a face full of kind smiles.

Li Heng hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Aunt Shen, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, sit, sit. Auntie is here today to see you and Shuheng, and brought some food for you by the way."

The more Shen Xin looked at him, the more she liked him. Her speech was so easygoing that it scared Li Heng, who wanted to escape this place, fearing that this was a gentle trap.

Just at this moment, Yu Shuheng came up.

She saw the coffee cup in front of Li Heng at a glance and was immediately depressed.

That was her exclusive coffee cup. Her mother said she would brew a cup of coffee for her, but it ended up in front of him.

However, regarding her own coffee cup being used by him, Yu Shuheng didn't show the resistance and cleanliness obsession she had in the past, but sat down after pouring herself a cup of coffee she had freshly brewed earlier.

She asked, "Did you add sugar?"

Shen Xin said with a smile, "Added 3 cubes. You instructed me at home that in the future, when brewing coffee for your man, follow this standard; this is the sweetness he likes. Mom didn't remember wrong, right?"

Li Heng: "."

Yu Shuheng: "."

This was simply making things up.

She had never mentioned it at home at all.

It was just that when rehearsing "The Scenery of My Hometown" last time, she had brewed him a cup of coffee in front of her mother, and added 3 cubes of sugar then. She didn't expect her mother to have a photographic memory and remember it after one time.

As for the words "your man," Yu Shuheng was even more powerless to refute.

After all, she had once said herself that she had slept with Li Heng. Following this logic, it seemed that using the words "your man" wasn't wrong.

The scene was a bit alternative for a moment. Facing such an aunt who had been thinking about making him her son-in-law, he had no temper at all.

Because she was always very good to him every time she saw him, kind and gentle, never putting on airs, and her concern for his well-being was catching up to Comrade Tian Run'e.

Shen Xin asked sincerely, "I heard from Shuheng that your father is being treated for his spine. How is the situation now? Is there a big improvement? Do you need Auntie to help you contact a better doctor?"

Li Heng glanced at Yu Laoshi, who was drinking coffee quietly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My father's body has already improved significantly, and he went to Jingcheng a few days ago to continue treatment."

"Improvement means it's effective, it's a success, that's great."

As she spoke, Shen Xin got up: "Shuheng has something to say to you, so you guys chat; Auntie is going to make dinner for you."

After the words fell, Shen Xin left like the wind, carefree and elegant, going to the first floor.

After the footsteps faded away, Li Heng looked at Yu Laoshi.

Yu Shuheng stared at the coffee in her cup, ignoring him and treating him like air.

Li Heng asked after a while, "Teacher, where should I eat dinner?"

Some words are understood as soon as they are heard. Knowing he was thinking about Mai Sui, Yu Shuheng said, "Mai Sui is taking a bath; I've already told her, she'll come over for dinner later."

"Oh, I see. That's great." Hearing this, Li Heng instantly gave up the idea of going home to cook.

After all, cooking is time-consuming, laborious, and has a lot of oily smoke. Who wouldn't want to eat for free if they could? He thought while drinking coffee.

Suddenly, his eyes went round, and he stared foolishly at the coffee cup in his hand. It seems?

It seems this is Yu Laoshi's exclusive cup. She usually drinks coffee and water from this. How? How the hell did it get into his hands?

He was distracted by Aunt Shen just now and didn't pay attention for a moment, and he had already drunk half a cup of coffee without knowing it!

Damn it, Aunt Shen Xin, you're harming me. You did it on purpose, didn't you?

After a long while, seeing Yu Laoshi raise her head and look at him, Li Heng asked with a fluke, "Teacher, are there any other cups like this?"

"No." The voice Yu Shuheng used when saying this was somewhat empty, without any emotional color.

It made him unable to distinguish what kind of mood the other party was in for a moment.

Seeing his eyes darting around, Yu Shuheng said, "Going to Bai Luyuan, the plane on the 16th of the first lunar month at 1 o'clock in the afternoon."

Li Heng asked, "1 o'clock in the afternoon? Wouldn't it be very late when we get there?"

Yu Shuheng said, "The 15th of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Aren't you guys going cycling?"

Her meaning was very simple; she was afraid he wouldn't make it, so she specially bought the afternoon plane ticket.

Li Heng asked, "Mai Sui told you?"

Yu Shuheng didn't deny it.

Speaking of cycling, he couldn't determine the specific itinerary for those two days for a moment.

After all, he had already refused the joint dormitory activity twice. In order to accommodate his time, the two dormitories specially postponed the activity from last year to this year, so he couldn't find an excuse not to go anymore.

Yu Shuheng asked, "Going to get your fortune told tomorrow?"

Li Heng smacked his lips: "Teacher, can you predict the future?"

He was asking: Teacher, are you eavesdropping on my phone call?

Yu Shuheng said, "I came up to get something just now, and you were too absorbed in your phone call."

Li Heng was speechless: "I plan to go once, just to relax my mood."

Yu Shuheng hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Teacher is going too."

"Ah?"

Li Heng said "ah," thinking to himself, I didn't intend to invite you.

Yu Shuheng asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

Li Heng shook his head, "No. I just think, Teacher, your background is already one of great wealth and nobility; it seems it doesn't matter much whether you get your fortune told or not."

Yu Shuheng turned the coffee cup in her hand and suddenly smiled slightly: "Who said I'm getting it told for myself? Runwen is not young anymore; I'm getting her fortune told regarding marriage."

Li Heng: "."

*Fine*, it's better for him not to pick up on this.

Actually, he was guessing that the teacher getting her fortune told was probably fake; it might be that she heard the three words "Huang Zhaoyi" and had a sudden idea.

He didn't know when it started, but it seemed Yu Laoshi was a bit at odds with Huang Zhaoyi.

During the rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala last year, Yu Laoshi was a bit elusive. As long as Huang Zhaoyi had the slightest sign of contacting him, she would definitely appear. It was like this every time, almost never missing.

The only time she missed was that time she went to the restroom and bumped into Huang Zhaoyi at the corner of the backstage corridor, but that time the two had little to no contact.

Thinking of this, Li Heng asked, "Teacher, why are you watching me so closely?"

The implication was the implication; anyone could understand it.

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng didn't have the cold face he imagined, nor was she angry. She looked directly into his eyes with interest and said, "Runwen has repeatedly warned me not to let you learn bad habits."

Li Heng: "."

After slowly finishing the coffee, he stood up and said, "Teacher, I'm going back to take a bath and will come over later."

Yu Shuheng nodded.

Watching him leave, Yu Laoshi reached out and took the cup he had just drunk from. For a moment, her gaze went back and forth to the trash can.

But in the end, she took the cup to the kitchen and washed it clean.

Seeing this, Shen Xin joked and asked, "Why wash it? The original flavor is more fragrant.

If I were you, I would pretend I didn't know anything, pour a cup of coffee in front of him, and drink it in front of him."

Then she added: "This is the 3rd rule of the art of war for winning hearts: habit becomes nature; let him get used to your existence."

Yu Shuheng turned her head: "What art of war for winning hearts?"

Shen Xin stopped the spatula in her hand: "You didn't read the 'Jane Eyre' I gave you? There are 8 strategies for capturing hearts inside; you don't know?"

Yu Shuheng said expressionlessly, "I gave it to your Li Heng."

Hearing this, Shen Xin frowned tightly, sighed with heartbreak, and said:

"Sigh! The unworthy son cannot be plotted with! You're as stupid as a donkey, without a bit of your mother's style back then.

Back then, your mother only used the 4th strategy and got pregnant with you. If you had learned all 8, wouldn't a mere man be easily captured?"
