Chapter 351: Yu Shuheng cannot restrain her emotions (Seeking subscriptions!)

Returning from town, Li Heng didn't rush to attend to his own affairs, but according to his prior plan, found an opportunity to chat with the neighbors on the road for half a day before entering the house.

He didn't chat aimlessly, but guided the conversation with purpose, making outsiders feel as if he were conducting research.

Because the villagers were full of curiosity about him and Yu Shuheng, and because they had private cars and bodyguards, which were very intimidating, being able to talk to the two seemed to be a kind of honor for the local villagers, and everyone was very willing to get close to them.

Of course, the purpose of most villagers getting close was also to get first-hand gossip, so they could brag and boast to other villagers later.

Especially the village head's family, whose enthusiasm was such that they were almost responsive to every request from Li Heng and Yu Shuheng. After all, it concerned their precious son's bright future; how could they not treat these two Buddhas well?

At noon, Li Heng ended the idle chat and returned to the kitchen to start cooking.

Yu Shuheng came in to help him.

While cutting pork blood balls, Li Heng asked her casually: "Teacher, did you really promise to help the village head's son?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "What do you think personally?"

Li Heng said: "I hear the villagers discussing it behind our backs, but they change the subject when I walk near."

Yu Shuheng said: "Responsive to every request, I have always been fair in my dealings."

Li Heng nodded, also understanding, and agreed: "Being responsive is good, I like it."

Lunch was very simple, just one pork blood ball dish and one vegetable heart dish.

He originally wanted to make two more dishes, but Yu Shuheng asked him: "How many dishes do you usually have at home?"

Li Heng replied: "It depends on how many people there are. If it's two people, sometimes two dishes; that's an occasional luxury. Most of the time, one dish; that's the daily level."

"Sometimes there are no dishes, so we use a bowl to hold some red chili powder, put a thread of lard inside, and then steam it with water, and it can be eaten with rice."

Yu Shuheng was surprised: "Red chili powder with water? So simple?"

Seeing the stunned expression on her face for the first time, Li Heng replied: "I often ate like this when I was a child, because the family was really too poor, and I didn't know what dishes to make? Uh, it should be that there were no dishes to make."

"And lard can't be put in too much, at most just a little bit with chopsticks, otherwise we couldn't afford it. There is another dish I also ate quite a lot."

Yu Shuheng looked up: "What dish?"

Li Heng recalled: "Stir-fried ginger shreds with green peppers. Ginger stems are also a home-cooked dish, and sweet potato leaves, pumpkin vines, and taro stems are also our common dishes."

After listening, Yu Shuheng's gaze fixed on his profile, silent for a long time.

After a while, she said: "In the future, when the two of us eat, let's make one meat and one vegetable. You don't need to accommodate me; I want to live a plain rural life for a while."

"Sure." Seeing her say it seriously, Li Heng agreed.

To be honest, it was the first time she had eaten two dishes.

The two ate with relish, one chopstick after another, and the atmosphere at the dining table was exceptionally harmonious.

Halfway through the meal, she suddenly asked: "It's been so long since we left Master Zou's place, aren't you curious about my fate and horoscope?"

Meeting his eyes, Li Heng lowered his head to eat: "If Teacher is willing to say, I will listen."

Yu Shuheng asked back: "If I don't say, you won't ask?"

Li Heng said: "You are the teacher, I am the student; we are not on the same level."

"And respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation; I naturally have to follow this rule."

Yu Shuheng's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, looking at the pork blood balls in the bowl, and asked him out of the blue:

"But there are also some teachers and students who didn't follow this rule. What do you think about this?"

Li Heng was stunned, his hand holding the chopsticks shook a few times, and then he steadied the vegetable heart without saying anything.

After waiting for a while, she, who hadn't received a reply, asked with a smile: "I was asking for someone else; were you scared?"

Li Heng answered from the heart: "It's not that I was scared, it's just that I had never thought about this question."

Her gaze lingered on his face for a long time, and after identifying that he wasn't lying, Yu Shuheng continued to eat and said later: "Master Zou said I would be rich and noble all my life, but I would be trapped by love."

Li Heng nodded: "With Teacher's family background, there is indeed no worry about material aspects."

Yu Shuheng asked: "How do you understand being trapped by love?"

Li Heng spread his hands helplessly: "I am also trapped by love; as someone involved, I can't give you better advice."

Yu Shuheng looked straight into his eyes for a while: "Someone involved? Is it Song Yu? Or Zhou Shihe? Or both?"

Li Heng said: "Song Yu."

Yu Shuheng said: "I thought it would be Zhou Shihe."

Li Heng said: "Why would you think that?"

Yu Shuheng didn't answer directly, but said with an ambiguous attitude: "Perhaps it's that those involved are confused while the bystanders are clear."

When the conversation reached this point, the two suddenly had nothing to say, and it became quiet instantly.

After a long time, she got up and served another half bowl of rice. When she sat down, she said: "I like the food you cook; this is the second time in the last 5 years that I've served a second bowl of rice."

Li Heng asked: "When was the first time?"

Yu Shuheng said: "The first time I ate the food you cooked yourself."

Li Heng: "..."

A moment later, he teased himself: "No wonder you were willing to accompany me to the Spring Festival Gala, no wonder a semester's worth of food could buy you off. It seems that in front of you, I also have advantages."

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, the topic of the day stopped there, and she wisely didn't continue.

After the meal, she asked: "I heard from Mai Sui that you wrote Spring Festival couplets at home. Can you write calligraphy?"

Li Heng replied: "I know a little."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng walked into the study first, spread out the fine rice paper, ground the ink, and then handed the brush to him: "Write a character for Teacher."

Li Heng took the brush, dipped it in ink, and asked: "Which character?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Heng."

Li Heng turned his head and stared at her.

Yu Shuheng's expression remained unchanged: "You didn't misunderstand; the 'Heng' in my name."

My name also has 'Heng', okay, and it's a single character 'Heng', Li Heng grumbled to himself, and began to write on the rice paper: Heng.

After writing, he appreciated it for a while and asked: "How is the character?"

Yu Shuheng praised sincerely: "The brushwork is vigorous, the momentum is magnificent, and it has momentum without losing gentleness. It's quite good."

Li Heng was quite happy to hear this, and also felt that his calligraphy was presentable.

She asked: "Aren't you going to ask why I wrote this character?"

Li Heng asked: "Why?"

Yu Shuheng smiled faintly, "This is a secret."

Li Heng looked at her and didn't ask again.

Just at this moment, Wu Bei came to the study door, holding a bag in her hand. The bag was bulging, filled with things.

Yu Shuheng glanced at the other party, "Where did it come from?"

Wu Bei glanced at Li Heng and replied: "Boss, it came from across the ocean."

Yu Shuheng pondered for a moment and said: "Give it to me."

Only then did Wu Bei enter the study, hand the bag in her hand to her, and then quickly retreated. The whole process was clean, without any dragging of feet.

In front of him, Yu Shuheng took out a thick stack of documents from the bag and placed them on the table, then sat on the chair with familiarity and flipped through them one by one.

Li Heng scanned them unconsciously and was immediately surprised. The documents were all in English, seemingly an investment agreement.

Seeing his gaze fall on the documents, Yu Shuheng asked: "Can you understand?"

"I can understand a little bit."

Li Heng said as such, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, you still have investments in the United States."

"Mm, although Wu Bei is my bodyguard, she is more of my assistant. She is an old hand of your Aunt Shen Xin, specially transferred to me."

As she spoke, Yu Shuheng looked over the top document and then signed her own name at the end: "This is a 6 million dollar investment plan."

Li Heng was a bit dazed, then asked: "Are these all investment plans?"

Yu Shuheng shook her head, "Not all, some are financial statements, some are information materials."

Li Heng nodded, turned, and went outside, leaving the space for her to handle private affairs.

An hour or so later, Yu Shuheng found Li Heng at a villager's house, "My business is done, you can go attend to your own."

Li Heng said okay, chatted with the villagers for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

On the way home, she stretched lazily and asked meaningfully: "Were you scared by my wealth?"

"To be honest, a little. I just calculated with my fingers, including the savings book, plus the money for the second batch of 'Culture Bitter Travel' standalone books that 'Harvest' magazine hasn't settled with me yet, it's only a little over 1 million, sigh...!"

As he spoke, he sighed.

Damn it!

In this day and age, having a million in savings is already very awesome, and he even felt a bit floaty because of it.

He felt this million was even more comfortable than the tens of millions in bank deposits in his previous life.

But he couldn't help it; there is always someone better than you!

It really lived up to the old saying, goods compared to goods will be thrown away, people compared to people will make you angry. He had already worked very hard, but the result was not even a fraction of others.

Until now, he had truly realized what class gap meant!

Others are born in Rome, and can pry up millions or tens of millions with a flick of their fingers, while he had struggled for so long to accumulate only a million; there is no comparison.

Yu Shuheng hugged her arms and said: "Compared to your peers, you are actually already very excellent. Looking at the entire Chinese literary world, your current status is also ranked, and no one dares to underestimate you."

Li Heng acknowledged this, and the sense of oppression brought by the huge gap just now immediately lessened a bit.

He turned his head: "Teacher, can I ask you a question?"

Yu Shuheng nodded: "Speak."

Li Heng asked with bright eyes: "Relying on yourself, how much money did you earn? Of course, if it's inconvenient to answer, just pretend I didn't ask."

Yu Shuheng said: "My initial startup capital was given to me by your Aunt Shen Xin."

Li Heng said: "This is the welfare brought by your ability to be born well, others can't envy it, it naturally counts as yours."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly, turned her head, thought for a moment, and said: "I started to get in touch with commercial investment after the college entrance examination, and my family also arranged for people to teach me. It's been nearly 10 years now. During this period, there have been losses and gains, and even a 5 million dollar investment went down the drain. But overall, I still earned some money."

Pausing, she brushed her hair with her right hand and continued: "I am not fighting alone as you see now. I have a team scattered in Europe, America, and Japan. From market intelligence exploration to data analysis, there are professional people doing it. I only need to make the final decision and sign..."

Hearing this, Li Heng raised his hand to interrupt her: "Forget it, don't say it, let me be a happy writer."

Yu Shuheng looked at him and smiled, really stopping her speech.

He knew clearly that since she was raising a professional team, her financial strength might be even more massive than he imagined, so he wisely called a stop. It was like putting the last layer of window paper on each other.

When they were about to get home, Yu Shuheng suddenly asked: "Do you want to step into the business world?"

Li Heng asked: "Why ask this?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I observe that you usually read books and newspapers, and besides literature, you also often dabble in business books."

Li Heng didn't hide it: "I do have this idea."

Her gaze wandered on his back twice, and she asked: "Do you want Teacher to help you?"

Li Heng shook his head and refused very decisively: "No!"

Having lived two lives, he deeply understood one principle: there is no free lunch in the world.

As long as it involves interests, as long as he seeks help from her in terms of interests, then no matter what happens in the future, he will be more or less controlled by her.

It would be fine if she cherished old feelings; perhaps they could be on equal footing.

Once she turns her face and denies people one day, or the interest binding is too deep, then he will undoubtedly have to look at her face to act.

As a reborn person, he can earn less money, but he will absolutely not sell his freedom; that is something he can never accept.

Yu Shuheng seemed to feel his state of mind, so she looked at him several more times, and then said:

"If one day you have a need, you can find me to cooperate. I will provide you with professional advice as a partner."

Afraid that he would think too much, she specifically bit the word "cooperate" harder, emphasizing an equal relationship, intending to take care of his feelings.

Li Heng said thank you, "Okay, thank you, Teacher."

Returning home, Li Heng washed his hands simply and drilled into the study.

Yu Shuheng also washed her hands and followed him in. She asked: "Will I disturb you in the study?"

Li Heng shook his head, "No."

It was true, he didn't lie.

In the past, his high school English teacher accompanied him for a whole summer vacation, and he wasn't much affected; instead, he grew to like the feeling of having someone behind him on the left.

Of course, having said that, if it were Mai Sui, he would be very welcoming emotionally, but rationally, he would politely refuse.

Because Mai Sui is different from other women; she is like Su Daji reincarnated, and her full-level inner charm attribute seems born to hook people, even if she has been deliberately suppressing it. But after staying in a closed space for a long time, he would be influenced silently.

He didn't say this out of thin air, but from personal experience.

There were several times when he stayed with Mai Sui in a small space for too long; he didn't have much reaction at first, but later he felt as if he had eaten aphrodisiacs, restless, and his head was full of scarlet fantasies. There was even one time when he couldn't control his emotions and hugged and kissed her in the study.

To be fair, it's not that other women have no charm.

It's just that whether it's Yu Laoshi or Zhou Shihe, as long as they are serious, even if he occasionally has some thoughts instinctively, he will reject them in time, and the influence is not great.

Just like...

Just like in Jingcheng, if Zhou Shihe were replaced by Mai Sui, try staying in the same room for more than 20 days, whoa! He would likely take the initiative to climb into her bed eight or nine times out of ten.

But facing Zhou Shihe, Li Heng was invisibly restrained; he knew what kind of woman could be provoked, what kind of woman could be provoked, and what kind of woman should not be provoked.

During that time, did he really have no thoughts about Zhou Shihe?

As a normal man, how could he not?

Even if it were another woman with some beauty, a man who has tasted the taste of meat has been alone for a long time, and in the situation of living in the same room every day, it is inevitable that evil thoughts will arise.

Not to mention the other party is the beautiful Zhou Shihe, not to mention the other party is beautiful beyond words.

But in the end, he only had two wet dreams and no overstepping actions.

Just because the other party was Zhou Shihe!

Closing the door, Yu Shuheng, according to the description in Runwen's letter, moved a chair and sat behind his left, not in a very far position, slightly behind, trying not to let herself appear in his direct line of sight, so as not to disturb his writing.

When the room became quiet, as usual, Li Heng first focused on reading for a while, studying literature materials.

It wasn't until an hour later, until his emotions were brewed into place, that he put down the book, picked up the pen, and began to write in the notebook he had already prepared.

This was the first time for true companionship, experiencing Runwen-style companionship. Yu Shuheng thought it would be noisy, but the fact was the opposite; she was immersed in it.

He read, and she read her own book.

When he wrote, she closed the book, her gaze first swimming around him slowly, and then falling on the paper, watching him write word by word.

She had never thought it would be this feeling, watching someone write a book is this feeling, very special, she couldn't find precise vocabulary to describe it for a while.

If she had to find a corresponding artistic conception, she thought of the Peach Blossom Spring in the Peach Blossom Spring Record.

Perhaps, this is the Peach Blossom Spring in Runwen's mouth.

After all, the person in front of her is not just a little boy, but also a legendary writer famous in China. The "Alive" and "Culture Bitter Travel" he created have been widely acclaimed and highly praised by experts and scholars.

The book is written well, and with the aura of a legendary writer, the spiritual enjoyment given to people is different.

Today Li Heng is writing Chapter 9 of "Bai Luyuan."

The main content of this chapter is Black Baby eloping with a dusty wife, and the Tian family gifting silver to form a marriage.

Black Baby settled in a village called General Village in Weibei, working for a wealthy family surnamed Guo. General Village is located in a river valley called General Slope, flat as a plain with no end in sight, all flat irrigated land...

It was fine at first, he wrote delicately and plainly, and Yu Laoshi watched very intently, forgetting herself.

But as she watched, she found that it was slowly becoming wrong, especially when he wrote that Black Baby's fingers touched the little woman's fingers hooked on the bottom of the bowl, at that moment, Black Baby's heart jumped violently... "Sister E'er, Sister E'er," the little woman heard and grabbed Black Baby's arm, turned over from the kang, and threw herself into the other's arms. Black Baby hugged the little woman tightly with both arms, and that beautiful body trembled in his arms...

Li Heng described the whole process on the bed.

In the process of writing, he himself was also more or less affected, his mouth dry, his left hand reached out, wanting to pick up the teacup to drink some water.

As a result, the cup was a little far away, and he didn't get it for a while. Just when he was about to tilt his body slightly to take the water cup, Yu Shuheng handed the cup to him.

Imperceptibly, in the process of receiving the cup, the two people's fingers touched, and they shivered instantly, very much like the beginning of Black Baby and Sister E'er in the book...

It was originally a very normal accidental contact, but because it had just happened in the book, the two people looking at each other felt that the world was exceptionally quiet.

After looking at each other for a while, Yu Shuheng suddenly stood up and walked outside, without saying hello, without sound, opening and closing the door in one go.

After doing all this, after leaving his sight, Yu Shuheng, who had been incomparably calm just a moment ago, transformed into another appearance, her face blushing for the first time.

It was really for the first time!

This was the first time in her 26 years that she felt her body heating up and her face burning.

Because strange emotions filled her whole body, she didn't go anywhere, but went directly into the inner bedroom, closed the door, and sat on the edge of the bed trying to calm down certain surging thoughts.

But her thoughts were like a bursting dam, pouring down, her head full of the scenes in the book, all the scenes of Black Baby and Sister E'er rolling...

Thinking and thinking, after a long time, the scene in her mind changed again, changing into the scene in last night's dream, he was affectionate and interesting...

20 minutes later, Yu Shuheng walked out of the bedroom and said to Ceng Yun outside the door: "You take good care of him at home, I have something to go out for."

Ceng Yun didn't ask for the reason and nodded.

Yu Shuheng left, took her luggage, and drove the off-road vehicle away from Bai Luyuan.

Along with her was Wu Bei.

Along the way, no one spoke in the car. It wasn't until they left the Loess Plateau boundary that Yu Shuheng broke the silence: "Where is fun in Xi'an?"

Wu Bei tried to answer: "The Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor of Qin, the ancient city wall, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Yu Shuheng asked: "Have you been there?"

Wu Bei said she had been there.

Yu Shuheng thought for a moment, stopped the car: "You drive, let's go see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Wu Bei changed to the driver's seat and drove straight to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Yu Laoshi's departure didn't affect Li Heng. After a brief daze, he returned to creation.

This part of Black Baby and Sister E'er was written with great passion, but time was also very easy to pass. Look, before he knew it, it was past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Ceng Yun probed the window outside several times, seeing him always at the desk, not daring to disturb him. Although because they had just come into contact, she didn't know what Li Heng was specifically doing?

But the boss valued him so much, and even ran to Bai Luyuan to accompany him, making Ceng Yun not dare to have any slack thoughts, guarding him diligently.

Past 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Heng finally finished Chapter 9, writing about 14,000 words.

However, he didn't have time to revise it; he was really damn hungry, his stomach was thundering, he was so hungry he was dizzy and had no strength, so how could he dare to delay?

Putting the manuscript neatly into the drawer, Li Heng opened the study door and walked out, bumping into Ceng Yun head-on.

He asked: "Why is it so cold and quiet in the room, where is the teacher?"

Ceng Yun replied: "She left."

Li Heng was surprised: "Left?"

Ceng Yun stood in place like a wooden statue, not answering.

Li Heng asked: "Did she say where she went? Did she return to Hushi?"

Ceng Yun shook her head: "Don't know."

Li Heng asked again: "When did she leave?"

Ceng Yun replied: "Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

Li Heng asked: "Did she have any instructions before she left?"

Ceng Yun shook her head.

Fine, this woman doesn't know anything when asked, Li Heng immediately lost interest in continuing the exchange, "I'm hungry, I have no strength, help me get something to eat."

Ceng Yun turned and entered the kitchen, bringing out two dishes and one soup.

The two dishes were stir-fried eggs with chili and rice flour meat.

The soup was pork rib soup.

He ate a few mouthfuls and immediately understood why Yu Laoshi said her cooking skills were very average.

Damn it, this is not average, it's simply ruining the food!

Too, too... forget it, he who eats someone's food has a short mouth, Li Heng forcibly suppressed his full belly of complaints and ate in big mouthfuls.

Could he not eat in big mouthfuls? He was almost starving to death.

After wolfing down the meal, he took a shower.

Just as he intended to go outside to stretch his muscles and stroll around, a car light shot over from a distance.

Ceng Yun said: "It might be the boss coming back."

But before she finished speaking, another car light appeared behind, followed by the third, fourth, fifth...

Ceng Yun frowned and said to him: "It's not the boss and the others, Mr. Li, you go back inside first."

Obviously, for all unknown things, she began to be vigilant for the first time.
