Chapter 385: , A

Standing like a stone in place for a long time, Li Heng finally came back to his senses from Teacher's recent actions and followed her to the second floor.

Yu Shuheng used her own special coffee cup to brew two cups of coffee, brought them to him, and asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile:

"You choose one."

Li Heng was speechless, thinking to himself, choose what the hell!

These two cups are both ones you usually use yourself and never let outsiders touch, yet today you actually took them out to make things difficult for me.

Well, thanks to Aunt Shen Xin last time, he had used one once.

Facing each other, in her meaningful gaze, Li Heng originally wanted to say "Can I not choose?", but his right hand casually took one cup.

"I guessed you would take this cup; there are three sugar cubes inside." Yu Shuheng said.

Li Heng raised his eyelids: "I took it casually."

Yu Laoshi smiled and said: "My cup also has three sugar cubes."

Li Heng's mouth twitched: "Doesn't Teacher like the original flavor?"

Yu Shuheng slowly turned the coffee cup in her hand and said meaningfully: "The original flavor is a bit bitter; Teacher has been bitter for too long and wants a little sweetness."

After speaking, she stared at his eyes without blinking, her aura fully unleashed.

Facing each other for a moment, Li Heng, unable to withstand the pressure, moved his gaze away without a trace and picked up the coffee to taste it slowly.

As the two drank their coffee, the second-floor living room fell into silence.

A cup of coffee slowly entered his mouth, and Yu Shuheng suddenly asked coldly: "Is the jade pendant Teacher gave you still there?"

The jade pendant refers to the Hetian mutton-fat jade she used to wear.

Li Heng answered: "Yes."

Later he asked: "Locked in the drawer, should I return it to Teacher?"

Yu Shuheng put the empty cup on the coffee table, paced toward the stairwell, and said expressionlessly as she walked: "No need, leave it as a family heirloom for the children in the future."

Yu Laoshi left.

Li Heng, who still had a mouthful of coffee left to drink, stood stupidly by the sofa, his mind full of "children, children."

Coming out of the 25th small building, Li Heng stood in the middle of the alley for a while, then entered the 27th small building.

Mai Sui was indeed still there, helping in the kitchen to wash and pick vegetables. Zhou Shihe was cutting vegetables; they were planning to make dinner.

Searching for a circle, he didn't find Yu Laoshi. Li Heng then remembered that Yu Laoshi said she was going to arrange the album recording matters; she had obviously left Lushan Village.

He leaned against the kitchen door and said to Mai Sui: "The door of Yu Laoshi's house isn't closed. Comrade Mai Sui, you have the key, go and close it."

"Mm." Mai Sui put down the vegetables in her hand, responded, and went out the door.

Lingering on the weak back for a while, Li Heng asked: "Comrade Shihe, can I order a dish?"

As his gaze moved away, Zhou Shihe felt much more relaxed and didn't look back: "What do you want to eat?"

Li Heng said: "I want to eat Wensi Tofu Soup, is it too troublesome?"

Zhou Shihe informed him gently: "There is no tofu at home."

"It's okay, I'll go buy some." Li Heng said.

Zhou Shihe said okay.

The weather in Shanghai in June changes as it pleases, turning its face faster than turning a book. Look, it was sunny in the morning, and in the blink of an eye, it started pouring rain.

Zhang Bing was still guarding the roasted sweet potato stall at the school gate. His stall was full of sweet potatoes of all sizes, some red, some orange-yellow, and even purple ones...

The rain was very dense, and the wind blew even harder. The black cloth umbrella tied to the grill was crooked and couldn't play much of a role. In the blink of an eye, Bai Wanying next to him was soaked through.

Seeing this, Li Heng didn't even care about holding his umbrella, ran across the road in two or three steps, pushed Bai Wanying's wheelchair and hid in the grocery store.

"Thank you." Bai Wanying was still that optimistic look, never having been defeated by life.

Looking at this radiant face, Li Heng had to sigh: Before, he was skeptical about the relationship between this girl and Zhang Bing, but now he only had admiration left.

This was truly a strong girl. If it were him in her place, he might have collapsed long ago.

"The word 'thank you' is too polite. We are classmates and friends." Every time he faced her, Li Heng always spoke happily. She brought sunshine to everyone around her; he couldn't return wind and rain to her.

That would be too unfair!

Simply tidying up the roasted sweet potato stall, Zhang Bing also ran over in the rain, then took off his jacket and draped it over Bai Wanying.

The clothing in this month wasn't thick; it was easy for a girl to be exposed if she got soaked, so this could help her cover up.

After doing all this, Zhang Bing had time to talk to Li Heng: "Old Li, such heavy rain, where are you rushing to?"

Li Heng said: "Going to the vegetable market to buy tofu, suddenly wanted to eat tofu."

Bai Wanying raised her head, "Is there still tofu for sale at this hour?"

Zhang Bing answered: "Yes, there is an Old Zhang Tou inside who puts out two tables of tofu every afternoon. He is different from others, and I have a deep impression of him."

Li Heng nodded: "Indeed, I often go to him to buy some at this time..."

As he spoke, Li Heng saw a strange acquaintance, Liu An. This guy was dressed very fashionably and ran over with several boys.

Not long after, Watching Li Guoyi appeared in the sight of the three.

Watching Li Guoyi didn't seem to see the three of them, his eyes staring straight at the direction of Liu An in front, and he also ran over in a slip, disappearing in a flash.

Li Heng and Zhang Bing looked at each other, and the next second they both rushed into the rain curtain.

Unfortunately, after just pausing for a while, the two lost the figures of Watching Li Guoyi, Liu An, and others.

Searching around, they didn't find anyone. Li Heng and Zhang Bing even turned the vegetable market upside down, but still no sign.

Li Heng frowned: "Eh, it's really hellish, where did Old Li go?"

Zhang Bing asked worriedly: "Does it look like a fight?"

Li Heng said: "Doesn't look like it. Besides, do you think Old Li is the kind of person who would have a serious fight with you?"

Zhang Bing shook his head, "Indeed doesn't look like it. Let's look again, you go left, I go right, we'll meet here later. If we really can't find him, forget it."

Li Heng said okay and went to look on the left. On the way, passing Old Zhang Tou's tofu stall, he also bought two large pieces of tofu.

After about 10 minutes, the two gathered again. Li Heng and Zhang Bing sighed, gave up, and headed straight back.

Zhang Bing asked: "Old Li, do you think something will happen?"

Li Heng remembered Wei Xiaozhu's previous guess, "Hard to say."

Returning to Bai Wanying's side, Bai Wanying asked them: "Didn't find him?"

Li Heng answered: "No."

Staring at the sky-covering rain curtain, Bai Wanying suddenly sighed: "Watching Li Guoyi and Le Yao won't last long."

Li Heng was surprised, "How so?"

Bai Wanying smiled: "I guessed it."

Li Heng deliberately curled his lips: "Sigh, you don't treat me as a friend."

Bai Wanying thought about it and lowered her voice: "I have always felt that Le Yao is just a cover; the one Watching Li Guoyi truly likes is Wei Xiaozhu."

Li Heng was thoughtful.

Zhang Bing scratched his head with his right hand, "Why do you say that?"

Bai Wanying analyzed: "Old Zhang, Watching Li Guoyi once came to the sweet potato stall to help you for 26 days, and most of the topics were about beauties. And the frequency of Wei Xiaozhu appearing on his lips is far higher than his official girlfriend Le Yao."

Zhang Bing reacted and asked: "So, this time Watching Li Guoyi standing up for Xiaozhu isn't entirely out of loyalty?"

Bai Wanying smiled again: "I guessed it."

Li Heng's angle was tricky, "Who else do you remember the number of days they came to help?"

Bai Wanying said embarrassedly: "Just recorded it when I was bored. These are all favors, Old Zhang has to repay them in the future."

Li Heng's face collapsed, "Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, I would have made time to come more often even if I didn't eat or drink."

Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying were amused by his appearance. Bai Wanying said: "Everyone can understand that you are a busy person. Besides, you haven't come few times, 22 times."

Li Heng finally asked: "Of the two joint dorms, am I the one with the fewest times?"

Bai Wanying waved her hand: "No."

"Mm, I'm satisfied, I'm off." After joking with Bai Wanying, seeing the rain was a little lighter, Li Heng took the opportunity to run back to the school gate.

On a rainy day with wind, an umbrella is usually just a decoration. Soaked all the way, Li Heng was completely drenched when he ran home.

Mai Sui reached out to take the tofu soaked in rainwater and said with concern: "You go take a shower and change clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."

After glancing around the kitchen and making eye contact with Zhou Shihe, he didn't pretend and returned to his own house.

Before long, Mai Sui also followed. As soon as he came out of the shower room, she went in and picked up the change of clothes to wash...

Li Heng reached out to stop her, "Mai Sui, I'll do it myself."

Mai Sui asked softly: "Not writing or reading today?"

Li Heng said: "I want to rest for a while."

You look at me, I look at you. After a short while, she handed him the socks in her hand, "You wash these, I'll put the clothes in the washing machine for you."

"Mm, thank you."

After Li Heng thanked her, he felt it was strange, then laughed: "Last thank you, given our relationship, no more thanking in the future."

Mai Sui smiled charmingly, "Okay."

After she put the clothes in the washing machine, he asked: "Not going to help Comrade Shihe?"

"I've already washed all the vegetables, there are only four dishes, the three of us will eat tonight." She said.

Li Heng asked: "Manning and Ye Ning aren't coming?"

Mai Sui answered: "They have many friends in school, someone is treating them today."

Thinking about it, it seems so. These two girls have cheerful personalities, friends all over every department, and have dinners every few days. The key is that they don't have to pay. According to Sun Manning's words, eating and drinking for free, and listening to flattering words, I'd be a fool not to go.

Li Heng then asked: "In the same student union, why didn't you go?"

After asking, he felt the question was a bit stupid and asked in vain.

It wasn't that no one invited Mai Sui; if she were willing, people would line up to treat her every day. The problem was that no one could invite her. After all, she was the "Little Wang" of Fudan, and her fame and airs were there.

Most importantly, a piece of gossip was circulating throughout Fudan University: the evening party female host Mai Sui had a secret crush on Li Heng.

At first, many people didn't believe it, thinking it was a rumor. But after a school year, seeing Mai Sui always following Li Heng, and seeing Li Heng wherever she appeared, everyone gradually believed it. From then on, no boys went to disturb her.

How does that saying go? If you don't have the diamond, don't take on the porcelain work.

In terms of appearance, she couldn't compare to Li Heng; in terms of talent, she was even a street behind Li Heng. One was in the sky and one was on the ground, how could they compare? Compare my ass.

Actually, there were also girls who were jealous of Mai Sui's beauty and her unique inner charm, secretly calling her a vixen, the best at seducing men, but so what? As long as she stood in front of those girls, the guilty gossips would scatter like rats in a drain.

They say like attracts like, they say where there are people, there is a world. For the jealousy of a very small number of girls, Mai Sui didn't take it to heart. From junior high to high school, she was already used to it.

Besides, no one is perfect. Even if beautiful to the level of Song Yu and Zhou Shihe, there would still be girls who would find fault.

For example, in high school, some people said Song Yu was too proud.

For example, some girls in the Management School gloated that the boys pursuing Zhou Shihe were not as many as other "Little Wangs."

Look, what kind of crooked ways are these? The angle of disparaging people is too damn tricky!

Why is she proud? Don't you have a number in your heart? With her beauty, if she were to smile and talk to everyone who approached her, with so many people in school, would there be any need to study?

Why are there fewer opposite-sex pursuers for Zhou Shihe than other "Little Wangs"? That's because ordinary boys don't dare to pursue her. The gap between the two sides is too obvious. Even the handsome Hu Ping stutters when talking to her, so where would other boys have the courage to pursue her?

Mai Sui's eyes flickered weakly, and she said playfully with her head held high: "I have to keep an eye on the house for someone. If I don't keep an eye on it, the valuable things in this house would have been lost long ago."

Li Heng nodded seriously, "Mm-hmm."

After two "mm-hmms," the two looked at each other and laughed happily, the atmosphere was very warm.

He joked and asked: "Then in your heart, which thing in this house is the most valuable."

Mai Sui looked at the "Painting of Steeds" hanging on the wall: "That painting your teacher gave you."

Li Heng pointed at himself with his finger, "Painting? Isn't it me?"

Mai Sui's ears burned, she didn't look at his eyes, smiled and got up and left.

After dinner, the rain finally stopped. The three of them went out as usual, strolling along the campus, calling it digesting.

On the way, the three bumped into Student Union President Zhao Menglong, whose eyes were introverted and very haggard. Li Heng chatted with the other party for a few minutes before breaking up.

After Zhao Menglong walked away, Mai Sui told him: "Ever since Senior Ye went abroad, Senior Zhao hasn't liked talking much. I heard he didn't like drinking much before, but now he gets drunk big every three days and drunk small every two days."

Li Heng understood. The matter about Senior Ye having a secret crush on himself was spread because Zhao Menglong got drunk and was tricked into talking.

Zhou Shihe rarely interjected: "Since he likes Senior Ye so much, why not go abroad to pursue her?"

Mai Sui glanced at someone obscurely: "He didn't dare to pursue her when Senior Ye was still in school, it's even harder to go abroad. Besides, it is said that Senior Zhao's family conditions are not very good, and there are parents and younger brothers and sisters at home who need to be taken care of, so going abroad is not very realistic."

Li Heng had heard Liu Yue mention this matter. But he wisely chose to shut up at this time, indicating he wouldn't take the blame.

Strolling along, they met Tang Dailing and Wei Sisi again later. The two were very affectionate, hiding under a tree and snuggling while chatting.

Seeing the three pass by, Tang Dailing was like a frightened bird, immediately springing away, accidentally bouncing Wei Sisi onto the grass.

Wei Sisi climbed up, reached out to pinch his ear, and scolded angrily: "What are you afraid of? Li Heng himself is dating, and he even dares to hold hands with Xiao Han in the school cafeteria. You are really a coward."

Tang Dailing was usually the most loyal and fierce. If any brother in the dorm was bullied, he was always the first to stand up and help fight. And don't look at him being thin, he had a ruthless streak when fighting, perfectly interpreting the style of the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers. But now he was having his ear pulled by a woman, and he was still grinning and not daring to resist.

The three of Li Heng found it funny, but they didn't stay long, giving Old Tang enough face.

Mai Sui said: "This person is quite interesting, I've seen him bullied by Wei Sisi several times."

"People call this 'beating is kissing, scolding is loving', the more they beat, the closer they get." Li Heng said.

Zhou Shihe approved of this, saying gently: "They should be able to walk together after graduation."

Li Heng tilted his head: "You have this feeling too?"

"Mm."

Zhou Shihe responded with a sound, "Every class in our Management School this year has a few couples, but they give me the best feeling."

Hearing this, Li Heng thought of Bai Wanying's evaluation of Watching Li Guoyi and asked casually: "Then what do you think of Old Li and Le Yao in our dorm?"

Zhou Shihe looked at him, then at Mai Sui, and smiled shallowly without making a sound.

Li Heng looked confused.

Mai Sui spoke for her: "Once when Shihe and I went to Jing'an, we bumped into Watching Li Guoyi and a girl on the bus, and that girl was pestering Watching Li Guoyi."

Hearing this, Li Heng instantly thought of Watching Li Guoyi's senior, then asked: "When did you go to Jing'an? Why didn't I know?"

Mai Sui said: "Shihe's aunt works in Jing'an, I accompanied her once, you were in Shanbei at that time."

Chatting about everything, the sky had unknowingly turned dark. Returning to Lushan Village, Li Heng continued to dive into the study.

And Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe took their books and went to the library.

Before leaving, Mai Sui also said to him: "We won't come back tonight, staying in the dorm, the roommates have something to do."

Li Heng nodded: "Okay."

As soon as the two girls left, he was the only one left at the end of the large alley.

Ever since Chen Siya got pregnant and lived at her parents' house, the fake Daoist basically ran there after class every day, coming back to stay for at most two nights a week.

I wonder if Yu Laoshi will come back tonight?

Looking at the pitch-black attic opposite, recalling Yu Laoshi's words and actions this afternoon, Yu Laoshi's figure suddenly jumped into Li Heng's mind.

Sigh! After a long time, he sighed for no reason, spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and immersed himself in reading and writing again.

That night, Li Heng wrote more than half of Chapter 38 in one breath and didn't sleep until three in the morning.

In the gap of stopping, he looked at the 25th small building opposite again, still with dark shadows.

That night, Li Heng, who finally lay on the bed, had a dream.

For the first time, he dreamed of Huang Zhaoyi.

She came to find him, bringing a little boy. As soon as they met, the boy opened his mouth and called him Daddy.

A childish "Daddy" instantly woke Li Heng from his dream.

He opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the gray ceiling and pondering: Why did I have this dream?

Are dreams the opposite? Or does it reflect something?

Could it be that the hit rate is so high, she got pregnant after only three times in the car that day?

But didn't she say it was the safe period?

Instinctively, he didn't quite believe there was such a coincidence. Not to mention it was just a dream.

The problem is, I've been reborn, such an outrageous thing has happened, how can I dare to say 100% that dreams are absurd? All fake?

With this thought, Li Heng slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed until dawn.

During this period, he didn't know how he got through it? No great sorrow, no great joy, no imagined panic and anxiety, he tossed and turned and thought about a lot. As a result, when summarizing, it seemed like there was nothing.

As soon as it was dawn, Li Heng first washed up, then went to the study, and found the yellow-brown envelope she sent from the bottom drawer of the desk.

Inside was a key and a letter.

Opening the folded letter, Li Heng stared at the phone number for a while. After reciting it several times, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope and put it in the drawer.

After restoring everything, Li Heng pondered repeatedly, and finally left Lushan Village and ran straight to the grocery store outside the school. This store had a newly installed phone.

Arriving relatively early, there were two girls queuing to make a call in front.

Because the phone bill in this era was damn expensive, no one dared to waste money on phone porridge. Li Heng only waited for less than 6 minutes before the receiver was in his hand.

Reciting the number once, Li Heng reached out and pressed a string of number keys. After a "ding-ding-ding" sound, he retracted his right hand and waited silently.

He didn't know what kind of feeling it was now, his head was empty, until a middle-aged woman's voice came to his ear, and he gradually came back to his senses.

"Hello, hello."

Li Heng frowned and pondered carefully. This voice didn't seem to be Huang Zhaoyi's.

The voice of the "Big Green-Clad One" was like a nightingale, very spiritual and very pleasant. If it weren't for the preconceived notion, he would even like to listen to her voice.

Especially that day in the car, her suppressed low voice was so comfortable that it lifted his crown, regardless of anything, just drilling the well and planting the pile.

Li Heng said with a hoarse voice: "Hello, looking for Huang Zhaoyi."

Few men called the little sister's house, and the voice sounded very young, so Huang Xuqing was suddenly curious: "Who are you?"

Li Heng's eyeballs turned a circle, "I am Zou Ping, an editor of "Harvest" magazine, looking for her for something."

Huang Xuqing knew that her little sister had a good relationship with some editors of "Harvest" magazine. Although she was strange why the other party didn't use the local Shanghai dialect, she didn't think much about it:

"Wait a moment, she is in the courtyard outside, I'll go call her."

"Okay, thank you." Li Heng now figured it out. The one answering the phone opposite should be Huang Xuqing, Liu Yue's mother.

Ever since Yu Laoshi installed a color TV at home, Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe, and Ye Ning would watch TV from time to time. Many times he followed along, and during that period, he had seen Huang Xuqing on the Shanghai News Broadcast more than once.

Going down to the courtyard on the first floor, Huang Xuqing shouted to the little sister who was watering flowers and plants: "Zhaoyi, your phone."

"Who?" Huang Zhaoyi was in a good mood today. There was a tape recorder on the stone table next to her playing pure music, and it was playing "Hometown's Original Scenery."

Huang Xuqing was already used to the little sister's state. Fortunately, this melody was worth listening to, and she wouldn't get tired of it after listening to it so many times: "Editor Zou Ping, he said he was looking for you for something."

"Oh, okay." Huang Zhaoyi sprinkled the last bit of water in the watering can, then straightened up, put down the watering can, and walked toward the gate.

Huang Xuqing asked: "Eh, by the way, do you and Zou Ping usually use Mandarin when calling?"

The reason she asked was that she just remembered that when she heard the little sister and Chief Editor Liao chatting before, they seemed to be using Shanghai dialect.

Huang Zhaoyi's body froze. A figure instantly appeared in her mind. Could it be him?

Would he really call her?

I don't know if it was because of too much expectation, but her heart suddenly tensed up for no reason. At this moment, it was as if a 17-year-old girl's heart was beating, a feeling she had never had before.

Facing the big sister's gaze, her heart was palpitating, but on the surface, she appeared particularly calm: "Sometimes Mandarin, sometimes Shanghai dialect."

As she spoke, she pointed to a patch of flowers and plants on the far right and said: "There is still a patch of flowers and plants that haven't been watered, you help me water them."

Why the far right?

Because the far right is the farthest from the gate, aiming to send the sister away.

When the little sister was away, Huang Xuqing often did this, thinking the little sister was going out in a hurry again, so she didn't ask much and walked toward the watering can.

Lingering on the big sister's back for a while, Huang Zhaoyi covered her little heart, which was beating violently, and walked into the gate.
