Chapter 338

Yu Shuheng ignored her mother's words and pondered the matter of "Jane Eyre" and the 8 strategies for capturing hearts in place.

Seeing her daughter's expression fluctuating, Shen Xin asked, "When did you give it to him?"

Yu Shuheng said, "The second day after you gave the book to me."

Shen Xin asked, "That was before the winter break?"

Yu Shuheng acquiesced.

Shen Xin asked, "And you didn't flip through the book at all?"

Yu Shuheng said, "No."

Shen Xin immediately urged, "Go, buy a new copy of 'Jane Eyre' and swap that book back."

Yu Shuheng stood still: "It's already too late."

Shen Xin asked, "What's too late? You mean he has read it?"

"He has been busy writing his new book from the winter break until now, so he probably doesn't have much time to read, but someone else might have read it," Yu Shuheng said in an uncertain tone.

"Who?"

Shen Xin asked who, and later gave the answer herself: "That Zhou family girl?"

Actually, this wasn't hard to guess. During the winter break, only the three of them were together rehearsing the Spring Festival Gala program. Her daughter said he didn't have time, so there was only one possibility: Zhou Shihe.

Yu Shuheng stated her speculation: "That copy of 'Jane Eyre' once appeared on Shihe's nightstand."

That morning, seeing Zhou Shihe come out of Li Heng's room, Yu Shuheng immediately rushed to the secondary bedroom to explore, smelling the air and unobtrusively checking their beds. In the process, she roughly scanned the "Jane Eyre" placed on Zhou Shihe's nightstand.

It's just that she didn't think much of it at the time.

Hearing this, Shen Xin was furious, sighing with a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel":

"Sigh! The unworthy son cannot be plotted with! The one who steals Li Heng's heart must be Zhou Shihe; you all will look at the ocean and sigh in the future!"

Yu Shuheng listened and gave a refined smile: "Is she that powerful?"

Shen Xin asked back: "Isn't Zhou Shihe powerful enough? The Spring Festival Gala program has already shown that Li Heng's heart has been attracted away invisibly. So many excellent women around him haven't tied his heart down. If that girl treats it formally and seriously, in terms of charm, there probably aren't many men in this world who can withstand it."

This was a very high evaluation, which shows how deep an impression Zhou Shihe's beauty and pitiful temperament left in Shen Xin's heart.

Yu Shuheng was silent.

She didn't deny her mother's statement, nor could she deny Zhou Shihe's charm.

Before this, Yu Laoshi had looked down on the crowd for many years and didn't think there was a woman in this world more charming than herself. But the appearance of Zhou Shihe broke this status quo.

Yu Shuheng could still clearly remember the stunning feeling when she met Zhou Shihe when she went to teach the Accounting Class 2: quiet like a delicate flower reflecting in the water, moving like a weak willow swaying in the wind, one smile toppling a city, another toppling a country, not knowing that toppling a city is toppling a country. A glance back and a smile, a hundred charms are born.

Purely from a woman's perspective, she immensely appreciated the other party's delicate temperament. If it were a man, the effect would only be doubled.

When Li Heng entered the house, Mai Sui had just come out of the shower. Looking at the lotus rising from the water, he smiled and handed over the dark chocolate he bought today:

"Specially bought for you. You wait for me; I'll take a bath first, and then we'll go over to eat together."

"Okay."

Mai Sui was a bit happy, took the chocolate, and responded.

Then she very skillfully helped him find a change of clothes, and then took out a pair of new white thick cotton socks from the wardrobe:

"I threw away some of your old socks; these are newly bought. Do you like them?"

Li Heng reached out and touched them, "Good-looking, how many pairs did you buy?"

Mai Sui answered: "A dozen."

Li Heng looked straight into her eyes and gave a happy "hmm."

Facing his straightforward and bold gaze, Mai Sui's charming eyes flickered weakly several times. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and stuffed the clothes she was holding into his hands: "Go quickly."

"Hmm, very soon."

Watching him enter the shower, Mai Sui quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then unwrapped the chocolate packaging, staring blankly at the 16 chocolates in the box.

This was the first time he had bought something specifically for her since they had known each other for so long, except for the earring birthday gift last time.

Carefully picking one up, peeling off the outer paper, and putting it into her mouth, a sweet fragrance instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue, allowing her to enjoy an unprecedented feeling, as if the scene in Chengnan Park that day was reappearing, as if he was being naughty in her mouth.

After eating one, Mai Sui couldn't bear to eat the second one, but sat on the sofa, counting the remaining 15 chocolates back and forth, counting them two or three times before stopping.

For a moment, she even hoped that time would stop at this moment, unwilling to wake up.

Because after waking up, he wouldn't belong to her anymore; he would be someone else's.

After a while, when she heard a knock on the door downstairs, Mai Sui, who had come back to her senses, hurriedly put away the dark chocolate and went downstairs to open the door.

"Teacher."

She opened the door and called out.

Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, "I have something to find Li Heng for."

Hearing this, Mai Sui wisely didn't ask what it was, nor did she follow to the second floor, but stayed in the kitchen on the first floor to tidy up the groceries bought today.

Six or seven minutes later, at the door of the washroom, before Li Heng even came out, he called out affectionately:

"Mai Sui, help me with my hair; I'm too lazy to move now... Teacher."

Seeing Yu Shuheng standing in the middle of the second-floor living room looking around, he changed his words temporarily.

Yu Shuheng turned around, her gaze subconsciously cast on his wet hair, and said a few seconds later: "Mai Sui is on the first floor and didn't come up."

"Hmm, Teacher, are you looking for me for something?"

The two had just separated for a moment, and Yu Laoshi had followed. Thinking there must be something, he spoke as such.

Yu Shuheng asked directly: "Where is that 'Jane Eyre' I gave you?"

Li Heng's heart stirred, and he instantly understood why she had followed. It must be that Aunt Shen Xin had mentioned the 8 strategies for capturing hearts inside, which made her not hesitate to put down her face to ask about the thing she had given away.

He said: "On the third row on the right side of the study."

Hearing this, Yu Laoshi went straight into the study, found "Jane Eyre" from the bookshelf on the right, flipped through it, and asked: "Has Shihe read it?"

Li Heng denied it flatly, "No."

Yu Laoshi stared into his eyes for a long time, then leaned over and whispered: "Little boy, do you know what I regret the most?"

Li Heng was standing against the door frame, his body against the door frame, with nowhere to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and enjoy her rich scholarly scent, "What is it?"

Yu Shuheng said softly: "Taking this mess of yours over from Runwen's hands."

Li Heng: "."

After waiting for a while without getting a reply, Yu Shuheng turned her head to look at the man's face close at hand. She looked for a long time, her red lips moved several times, but in the end, she gave up and didn't say a word.

Looking at each other, especially with half of her body almost touching his chest, Li Heng's breathing gradually became much heavier from the rhythmic pace at the beginning.

Feeling his change, Yu Shuheng said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Chen Zijin is in Jingcheng; distant water cannot save a nearby fire. It seems you also need a woman in Shanghai; that Huang Zhaoyi is quite good."

Li Heng rolled his eyes, reached out to push her away, turned around, and returned to the living room: "No need for Teacher to worry; if I want a woman, it's not a difficult task."

Her gaze lingered on his back for a while, until he went to the attic to hang clothes, before she flipped through the book in her hand, looking for the 8 strategies one by one.

When she found all 8 strategies, she suddenly frowned, her mind full of her mother's words just now: The one who steals Li Heng's heart is Zhou Shihe...

After a long while, Yu Shuheng put "Jane Eyre" back on the bookshelf. Just now, an intuition told her that this little man had lied; perhaps he had already flipped through this book.

As such, there was no need for her to take it back.

Putting it here might lead to unexpected situations in the future.

After hanging the clothes, Li Heng entered the house and asked Yu Shuheng on the sofa, "Teacher, aren't you taking the book?"

Yu Shuheng answered the question irrelevantly: "What time are we leaving tomorrow?"

Li Heng said: "9 o'clock."

Yu Shuheng got up, "Let's go, let's go over to have dinner."

Li Heng didn't make a sound, followed down the stairs, and only opened his mouth when he reached the first floor: "Mai Sui, let's go eat."

Mai Sui in the kitchen responded, washed the rag clean, hung it on the window, and walked out.

She saw Li Heng's wet hair at a glance and immediately said with concern: "On such a cold day, you'll easily catch a cold if you don't dry your hair."

Li Heng messed up his hair with his right hand: "It's okay, my body is very good."

Although he said so, he returned to the second floor.

Mai Sui thought for a moment and said to Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, we'll be over right away."

Yu Shuheng nodded and left the No. 26 small building.

Following him to the second floor, just as Mai Sui stood firm, a dry hair towel flew toward her face, along with a voice: "Help me."

Mai Sui gave a charming smile, reached out to catch the towel flying in the air, went around behind the sofa, and helped him wipe his hair. After a long while, she asked: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Li Heng tilted his head back and blinked playfully at her, "Next time, let's have more tacit understanding; don't expose me."

The smile on Mai Sui's face grew wider, and her movements became gentler.

She said: "Yu Laoshi is a very good person."

"I know, but not as good as you," Li Heng said.

Mai Sui sealed his fiery eyes with her right hand, "She is our teacher; don't be like this next time."

Li Heng asked: "Has anyone ever said you are too kind?"

Mai Sui didn't make a sound for a moment, and after a long while, she said in a low voice: "Not as kind as Song Yu."

With one sentence, the incredibly warm scene between the two was instantly covered by ice and snow, silent and soundless.

I don't know how long it had been, when Mai Sui spoke again: "Okay, let's go over."

Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Mai Sui leaned down and identified it carefully for a while, only to find that he had actually fallen asleep.

Staring fixedly at the face in front of her, Mai Sui felt a heartache so painful she couldn't breathe. Just now, it wasn't an unintentional act, but deliberate, deliberately using the name "Song Yu" to cool him down.

Because recently she clearly felt that whenever they were alone, the flames in his eyes looking at her were getting stronger and stronger, and what that represented was self-evident.

Looking and looking, when she felt her heart was about to melt like chocolate, she moved her gaze away with difficulty, then walked into the study, took out a blanket, and gently helped him cover up.

After doing all this, Mai Sui thought for a moment, left the No. 26 small building first, came to the No. 25 small building, and said to Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, he fell asleep."

"Hmm, sit, keep Teacher company for a cup of tea." Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, then poured her a cup of tea.
