~16 min read 3,069 words

Lushan Village.

The two walked one after another along the bluestone slabs to the end of the alley. What came to their faces was the pleasant piano sound. Li Heng was familiar with it; this piece was 'Annie's Fairyland', but now it had become 'Dongting Lake Fairyland'.

The wonderful music made Xiao Han instinctively raise her head to look at the small building at No. 27, and Zhou Shihe's figure appeared in her mind. Although she had no reaction on the surface, the sense of crisis in her heart increased a few points again.

This potential rival in love who could write and fight, and whose conditions were all top-tier, was really terrifyingly strong!

Even when facing Song Yu for the first time in the past, she didn't have such strong vigilance.

However, she knew that some things could be sour in her heart, but absolutely could not be shown, otherwise she would lose a lot of points with honey.

At one moment, Xiao Han felt a sense of frustration in her heart, feeling that rivals in love appeared one after another, each stronger than the other, making her exhausted and tired of dealing with it.

But when these distracting thoughts accumulated and hindered the clarity of consciousness, she quickly cleared them away, and secretly cheered herself up in her heart: Xiao Han! Come on, you are the best one.

Being good at waiting is a wise man, and patience is a great wisdom.

After being disturbed by the piano sound, Xiao Han, who had more than 6 years of secret love experience, found her positioning again and returned to the pretentious girl form of the past, graceful and calm.

Opening the door, the two entered the house one after another.

Just after changing shoes and going up to the second floor, Li Heng subconsciously aimed at the sofa. Hmm? Why are the two bags still there?

Did Miss Zhou not understand his meaning?

Or did Mai Sui not come back?

Under Xiao Han's gaze, Li Heng walked over and took the manuscript of 'Bai Luyuan' on the coffee table into his palm, thought for a while, and then put the two bags on a separate sofa.

Xiao Han, who had just adjusted her state of mind, didn't have the ups and downs of mood like before, but sat on the sofa with a calm face, clutching her stomach and saying pitifully: "Ate half a sweet potato, ate until I'm full."

Li Heng asked with a smile: "How does it taste?"

"It's quite delicious, no wonder the business was so good last winter." Xiao Han evaluated objectively.

Li Heng ate sweet potatoes when he was a child and hurt himself. After growing up, he had no feeling for sweet potatoes. Even if others described how delicious it was, he was too lazy to touch it.

Taking the manuscript of 'Bai Luyuan' back to the study, he first took a shower, then turned on the TV, sat on the sofa with Xiao Han, and started the nagging of the husband and wife mode.

Xiao Han rested her head on his thigh, a bit guilty: "Dear Mr. Li, at this juncture, did I disturb your creation?"

"Where is that, during the holidays, can't I give myself a holiday? If you didn't come today, I would have gone to your place tomorrow to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together." Li Heng said.

He didn't say this politely, but it was a matter in the plan.

Although he met Mai Sui in Shanghai and had a relationship with Huang Zhaoyi by mistake, he was a nostalgic person, would not forget his original intention, and always remembered why he came to Shanghai in the first place?

Who did he come to Shanghai for?

Xiao Han heard his sincerity, her eyebrows curved, narrowed into half-crescent moons, this feeling was really good.

Chatting for a while about their respective trivial life matters, Li Heng asked with concern: "Is the pressure great to follow Professor Wen for advanced and out-of-syllabus learning?"

Xiao Han said from the heart: "The pressure is indeed quite great, but the harvest is also gratifying. By the way, Mr. Li, I may go to the capital with the teacher for a period of time during the summer vacation."

Li Heng was curious: "What are you going there for?"

Xiao Han told him: "The teacher is going to attend an academic conference, and there are some cases that need expert consultation. The teacher is relatively famous in the industry and has been invited. She wants to take me to see the world."

Li Heng had heard of Professor Wen's name like thunder in his previous life, and didn't doubt her status in the medical field at all. The other party was now the live signboard of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Medical University, and even more a nationally renowned expert.

Li Heng was happy for her: "That's quite good, this is a rare learning opportunity."

"Hmm, hmm." Xiao Han also felt that she was relatively lucky. In terms of feelings, she could meet a man who was satisfied, and in terms of career and study, she had noble people to help her. It seemed that God intended to favor her.

This night, the two watched TV on the sofa and chatted, very warmly, until midnight, no one came to disturb them.

As soon as the midnight bell rang, Xiao Han jumped up from his arms, first dismantled the cake box, lit the birthday candle, and then said to Li Heng: "Mr. Li, please make a wish."

"Okay." Li Heng closed his eyes, muttered and silently recited several wishes in his heart, some for his career, some for his feelings, and some for his parents' health.

After a minute, he opened his eyes and received the birthday blessing from his wife. Li Heng held her hand happily, "Wife, come! Let's blow out the candle together."

"Hmm." Xiao Han narrowed her smiling eyes, the two looked at each other, then bent down and blew together toward the candle.

Blowing out the candle smoothly, the two smiled at each other, Li Heng cut a piece of cake, and then handed it to her.

Xiao Han took the cake, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to his lips, saying with a sweet smile, "You are the boss today, the first bite is for you."

"Alright." Li Heng didn't act coy and happily ate the cake from her hand.

Opposite No. 25 small building.

Looking at the two people showing off their affection and feeding each other cake across the alley, Shen Xin cracked melon seeds while talking to herself, "If Mom were 20 years younger, Xiao Han wouldn't have had a chance tonight."

Yu Shuheng, who was beside her, remained unmoved and instead asked, "If you were younger, would you have taken a fancy to him?"

Shen Xin tilted her head and stared at her daughter: "With such a good appearance and so much talent, if you don't take a fancy to someone like this, are you going to become a Buddha?"

Yu Shuheng said elegantly: "Compared to Dad 20 years ago, he has neither power nor influence."

Shen Xin shook her head: "Ten thousand gold is hard to buy for what one loves. In terms of family background and power, your dad is indeed far ahead; but in terms of being pleasing to the eye, romance, and accomplishments in music and literature, ten of your dads couldn't catch up to him. As the saying goes, every inch has its strengths, and every foot has its weaknesses.

How can one have everything perfect in the world?

If you put your dad and Li Heng together, they are of similar age, and your mom might have taken the initiative to pursue Li Heng. You bring nothing when you are born, and you take nothing when you die; life is only a few decades long, and being comfortable yourself is the most important thing."

Yu Shuheng said: "His talent is impeccable. But he is a flirt; he has already been in bed with two women at such a young age."

Shen Xin glanced at her daughter: "That is an excuse for the incompetent. Since ancient times, heroes have had a hard time passing the beauty test; what excellent man doesn't have a few female confidantes by his side? As long as you grasp what you want precisely, it's better to turn a blind eye to the lace."

As the mother and daughter chatted, the lights in the No. 26 small building went out, and Li Heng carried Xiao Han into the master bedroom.

In an instant, the mother and daughter stopped talking; the lights going out over there killed the liveliness over here, and it became silent.

After a while, Shen Xin stood up, "I'm leaving."

Yu Shuheng was surprised: "Going home so late?"

Shen Xin patted the melon seed crumbs off her hands, "A small person is not worth conspiring with; staying with someone who isn't promising affects one's health."

Yu Shuheng looked at the No. 26 small building opposite and got up to see her mother to the alley entrance.

One night passed.

Li Heng and Xiao Han, who had fought heartily for two hours last night, were still sleeping.

Sweeping a glance over the classroom and not seeing that person appear, Yu Shuheng on the podium opened her book and started the class silently.

But halfway through the class, she suddenly put the chalk on the podium and said to the whole class, "Teacher has a sore throat today; you can arrange the remaining time yourselves."

Yu Laoshi was usually conscientious and interacted interestingly with everyone in class; after almost a year, this was the first time they had seen her slack off, and the Statistics Class 1 all thought she really had a sore throat, so no one questioned it.

Statistics Class 1 was like this, and when it came to Accounting Class 2, Yu Shuheng was the same; she only taught half a class and then stood by the window, letting everyone study on their own.

Zhou Shihe raised her head and swept a glance at the tall figure standing by the window, her lips pouting slightly, and then she took out the June issue of "Harvest" magazine that had just been released this morning, lowered her head, opened the title page, and started reading "Bai Luyuan."

They say that every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor; she could roughly understand why Yu Laoshi had a sore throat today, Zhou Shihe thought while staring at the writer "December."

Just at this moment, Ye Ning on the left passed a note over, on which was written: Shihe, I heard Xiao Han is here?

Zhou Shihe replied: Yes.

Ye Ning wrote: Then are you still inviting him to celebrate your birthday at dinner?

Zhou Shihe understood her friend's intention almost instantly; fearing that Xiao Han's appearance would make things difficult for Sui Sui, she pondered for a moment, picked up her pen, and replied: I won't invite him, just us few.

Ye Ning wrote: Aren't you afraid he'll blame you?

Zhou Shihe didn't reply after reading it, but tucked the note into her book.

In the afternoon, Li Heng and Xiao Han received the ginkgo tree sent by Professor Wen Yan at the alley entrance; at first, they thought it was a small seedling, but they didn't expect it to be as tall as a person.

Seeing that Professor Wen Yan was about to leave, Li Heng hurriedly tried to keep her: "Teacher, it's still early, go home and sit for a while."

Wen Yan was somewhat moved, but still shook her head and refused: "I have some business to attend to; if I don't go, I won't have enough time."

Hearing that she had business to attend to, Li Heng couldn't say anything more; after taking the hoe and shovel handed over by Professor Wen Yan and standing by the roadside to watch the car leave, the two headed home.

Entering the courtyard, he looked around for a while and finally asked: "Where should we plant it?"

Xiao Han already had a suitable spot in her heart and pointed to the right side of the main gate: "This position is good; you can see it as soon as you open the door, and the sunlight and rain will be relatively sufficient."

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Li Heng rolled up his trouser legs, soaked the hoe in water, and began to dig the hole energetically.

For a rural person, manual labor like planting trees was simply a piece of cake; he didn't need much effort at all to dig the hole.

After the hole was dug, the ginkgo tree was placed in it, and then Xiao Han held the trunk straight while Li Heng shoveled the dirt to fill it in on the side.

Just when the two were working vigorously, Yu Shuheng came back with her textbooks; hearing such a big commotion, she hesitated slightly and then walked over.

"Planting trees on the Dragon Boat Festival?" Unsurprisingly, Yu Laoshi was very astonished.

Xiao Han revealed her small dimples and introduced crisply: "Today is his birthday, so we are planting a tree as a memento."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng silently sized up the ginkgo tree and stared at the heart-shaped leaves for a long time, suddenly realizing that this was the love tree mentioned in books.

Yu Laoshi looked at the ginkgo tree and then at Xiao Han, who was smiling very sweetly, and realized belatedly that this was clearly a case of the drunkard's heart not being in the cup, but rather having an ulterior motive.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuheng, saying she was a bit tired, turned and left, crossed the alley, walked into her own courtyard, and then, accompanied by a creak, the courtyard gate closed.

Xiao Han quickly looked back at the No. 25 small building, feeling quite helpless; her own honey was too excellent, and there was no way to tear off the mask openly, and since she was relatively far away, it was impossible to guard this place every day, so this was the only way to deal with it.

After planting the tree, Li Heng watered it with 4 buckets of water in a row before he was satisfied.

Seeing this, Xiao Han lifted her right wrist to check her watch, "Mr. Li, let's go have dinner; I have to go back to school later."

Li Heng raised his head, "Not staying here for the weekend?"

Xiao Han said pitifully: "Tomorrow I have to go to the hospital with the teacher; she has a surgery in the morning, and it's already been agreed upon."

Li Heng gave up, immediately washed his hands, and took her outside the school.

When eating, he asked: "When are you going to Jingcheng for the summer vacation?"

Xiao Han said: "I'll meet up with her on July 10th; I have to go home first."

Li Heng calculated the time and said: "Alright, then I'll stay at home with you until the 10th."

"Okay."

After the meal, Li Heng sent her back to school; the round trip took almost 4 hours, and by the time he returned to Fudan University again, the sunset had already gone down, leaving only the twilight.

Hmm?

Why is she here?

Buying a bag of ice cream at the grocery store, Li Heng turned around and saw a familiar Santana, about 150 meters away from the school gate.

After pondering in place for a while, Li Heng then walked over.

When he got close, the driver's side window glass automatically lowered more than halfway, revealing an atmospheric and bright face, a pair of large sunglasses covering her eyes, and golden earrings that were particularly eye-catching.

Facing each other, Li Heng asked: "Aren't you in Xiangjiang?"

Huang Zhaoyi swept her eyes around, seeing that there were many students, she touched her sunglasses with her right finger but still didn't take them off, "Today is your birthday, I rushed back specifically."

As she spoke, she asked expectantly: "Can you get in the car first?"

Li Heng nodded, walked around the front of the car, and seeing a bag and a coat on the passenger seat, he chose to open the back door and sit in.

Huang Zhaoyi swept her eyes over her bag and didn't say much; this was not a place to stay for long, so she immediately started the car, turned, and drove away from the area where Fudan University was located.

Not long after, they passed through Wujiao Square and quietly stopped in front of a three-story small building.

Getting out of the car, Huang Zhaoyi first opened the courtyard gate, drove the car in, and then closed the courtyard gate again.

After such a toss, she finally opened the back door and sat in.

She asked: "Do you want to go upstairs and sit for a while?"

Li Heng looked at her and didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, she, who hadn't received a reply, half-stood up, took her bag from the passenger seat, found a comb and a hair tie from inside, and just like that, she put up her hair in front of him.

He had said that he liked to see her putting up her hair, and she kept it in mind.

Her movements were very skillful; not long after, she had arranged her hair well and asked him: "How is it?"

Li Heng nodded and praised: "Beautiful."

Seeing his gaze fixed on her neck without blinking, Huang Zhaoyi thought for a while, then gathered her courage, moved her body closer to him, and placed herself at a distance where he could attack at any time.

Li Heng seemed to have guessed her thoughts and laughed softly.

Looking at each other, Huang Zhaoyi followed with a smile, and a moment later, under his gaze, she took the initiative to stretch out her hands to hug him, her soft body lying in his arms, her red lips sent forward, and she buried her head in his neck.

Then came a passionate kiss...

Kissing his neck inch by inch, the movement of her two red lips kissing his skin was very delicate, and she kissed with great care.
