Chapter 431

Under the faint starlight, the two arrived at the end of the alley.

Passing by the No. 24 small building, Yu Shuheng stopped for a moment, then knocked on the door and walked in.

Li Heng didn't move, and when Teacher Yu's figure disappeared from sight, he looked toward the No. 27 small building.

At this time, the lights of the No. 27 small building were off, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.

He thought for a moment, walked back, and left Lushan Village.

Just as he was leaving, Yu Shuheng's figure appeared on the balcony of the No. 24 small building, standing by the railing, watching the black shadow becoming thinner and thinner.

Chen Siya followed her out and asked curiously: "Shuheng, what are you looking at?"

Yu Shuheng looked at the horizon, "Going to Hongkou tomorrow morning, I'm worried it will rain."

"I watched the weather forecast tonight, the TV said it will indeed rain."

Chen Siya answered like this, then said: "It's stuffy staying at home, I'll go to the recording site with you tomorrow to take a look."

Yu Shuheng reminded: "Your belly is so big, and you're going to give birth in a little over a month, will it have an impact?"

"It doesn't matter, the doctor suggested walking around more, you'll know when you're pregnant in the future." Chen Siya said.

Hearing the word "pregnant," a figure appeared in Yu Shuheng's mind. Will he have many children in the future? Suddenly, she lost interest in continuing the conversation.

On the other side, Li Heng went straight to Yan Garden, but Zhou Shihe wasn't there at all.

Teacher Wei Quan told him that Zhou Shihe had come in the evening, and later went out to play with Xiaozhu, and hadn't come back yet.

Li Heng asked worriedly, "In the middle of the night, where could they go? Nothing happened, right?"

Saying this, Wei Quan also started to get anxious. She had thought her niece had gone to Zhou Shihe's accommodation.

After a simple discussion, the two decided to look separately, one checking with a flashlight on campus, one going outside the school, and the two would meet at the school gate half an hour later.

Li Heng rode his bicycle and hurried outside. Before he ran into Zhou Shihe, he ran into Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying.

Seeing him in such a hurry, Zhang Bing asked: "Old Li, where are you going?"

Li Heng asked: "Have you seen Zhou Shihe and Wei Xiaozhu?"

Before Zhang Bing could answer, Bai Wanying said: "Saw them before it got dark, the two went to Wujiao Square, it seems to buy things, but they didn't stay long before leaving."

Li Heng asked: "About what time?"

Bai Wanying recalled: "Around 6:20."

Li Heng breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this. If it was 6:20, then they should have returned to school safely. Because he had seen the two women walking and taking photos on the grass when he was learning to drive, and it was close to 7 o'clock then.

However, he still wasn't completely at ease, and still went around outside the school before returning to school. And Zhang Bing also followed to look.

Bai Wanying waited for them on campus.

20 minutes later, Li Heng and Zhang Bing returned to the school gate. Before they could ask, the figures of Zhou Shihe and Wei Xiaozhu appeared in their sight, and the two women were chatting with Bai Wanying.

Seeing Li Heng walk over quickly, Zhou Shihe stood up and explained first: "Xiaozhu and I have been sitting at the bridge and flowing water chatting."

Li Heng was depressed: "In the middle of the night, you two chatted for hours? Aren't you afraid of feeding mosquitoes?"

Zhou Shihe smiled weakly at him, her eyes showing apology, obviously understanding his worry.

Wei Xiaozhu interjected with a smile: "Don't worry, we bought mosquito coils and a lighter."

Li Heng asked Wei Xiaozhu, "Did you see your aunt?"

"Saw her, she's over there chatting with other teachers." Wei Xiaozhu pointed to the back left.

Following her finger, Li Heng could indeed see a few shadows.

The few chatted in a circle on the grass for about half an hour, then Zhang Bing pushed Bai Wanying away, leaving the three to look at each other in dismay.

After a long while, Li Heng asked: "Where do they live?"

Wei Xiaozhu happened to know about this: "They live in Yan Garden, renting a teacher's house. I heard from my aunt's friend that they moved in a few days ago."

Li Heng was surprised: "Living together?"

Wei Xiaozhu looked at him and laughed: "How is that possible, Zhang Bing is married, they rented two rooms."

Zhou Shihe rarely spoke: "Did Bai Wanying's family agree to let her come out?"

Li Heng turned to Wei Xiaozhu, he was also curious about this.

Wei Xiaozhu nodded: "I chatted with Bai Wanying about this last night. Her family members all have jobs and have to go to work. There's no one to take care of her during the day, no one to accompany her, so she just came out to keep Zhang Bing company."

As she spoke, Wei Xiaozhu revealed: "Yesterday evening, Bai Wanying's parents and a brother also came here."

Seeing that her parents didn't have any objections, Li Heng and Zhou Shihe looked at each other and didn't ask further.

In fact, the three faintly realized that perhaps it was Zhang Bing and Li Guang's unconditional trust, encouragement, and spiritual support for Bai Wanying that made Bai Wanying treat Zhang Bing and Li Guang as confidants, which was why she had no regrets.

Thinking about it, it was true. Facing a girl in a wheelchair, few normal people had this kind of patience. Zhang Bing and Li Guang's arrival was truly rare and commendable, and outsiders shouldn't say too much.

Li Heng glanced at his watch and said: "Comrade Xiaozhu, let's send you back to Yan Garden first, it's getting late."

Both women agreed.

The school gate wasn't far from Yan Garden, and they arrived quickly on foot.

Wei Xiaozhu found her aunt on the second-floor corridor, who should be waiting for her, so she said to the two: "Thank you, you guys go back early too."

"Done, we're leaving." Li Heng waved his hand.

Zhou Shihe smiled at Wei Xiaozhu and turned to follow him away.

Going up to the second floor, Wei Xiaozhu asked her aunt, "Aunt, what kind of expression is this?"

Wei Quan said meaningfully: "I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

Some words were understood as soon as they were heard. Wei Xiaozhu reached out and held her arm: "Don't worry about me, I won't step into that muddy water."

"That's good. Although Li Heng is very excellent, and one can even say he is rare in the world, he is really not a good match." Seeing her niece express her position, Wei Quan was very happy.

"Mm."

After all, having seen Li Heng hugging and kissing Mai Sui with her own eyes, and having a more intuitive understanding of his "badness," Wei Xiaozhu agreed with her aunt's words very much.

Wei Quan asked about Zhou Shihe, "Are they really creating?"

"Shihe said, Li Heng is going to release a pure music album. He's going to release nine more pieces at the level of *Original Scenery of the Hometown* this time." Wei Xiaozhu shared the information she got with her aunt.

"Nine?" Wei Quan was confused.

How rare *Original Scenery of the Hometown* was, anyone could understand. Li Heng even became a god based on this piece of music, and many media outlets hailed him as a musician.

That's right, a musician with one piece of music!

Sounds funny, right? But this is the strength of others! And a considerable number of people recognize it.

And now he's going to release nine at the same level in one go. Wei Quan looked up at the night sky, feeling that Fudan University was going to change, and a remarkable figure was going to emerge.

This musical talent Li Heng was going to solidify his title as a "musician."

After a long time, Wei Quan asked casually: "Where do they live?"

"Lushan Village." Wei Xiaozhu mentioned Lushan Village for the first time from Zhou Shihe today, speaking lightly, obviously not realizing the weight of Lushan Village at Fudan University.

But Wei Quan, who had been teaching at Fudan for many years, changed her face and asked incredulously: "Really in Lushan Village? You didn't make a mistake?"

"Shouldn't be wrong, Shihe told me personally, and told me the location, letting me go find her to play when I have time." Wei Xiaozhu said.

Wei Quan asked: "Which small building?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "It's the No. 27 small building."

"No. 27? This was Professor Xu and his wife's address before, I heard they went abroad later." Wei Quan searched for information from her memory.

There were only so many houses in Lushan Village, and every small building represented status. Which teacher at Fudan University didn't want to go there?

Last year, I heard that several senior professors were fighting for the No. 26 small building, but it was occupied by an outsider. And it was decided by President Sun himself. As for the reason for the decision, they didn't know.

But according to rumors, those professors who were fighting didn't make trouble again after coming out of the president's office, but were somewhat convinced.

Thinking of this, Wei Quan asked curiously: "Does this Li Heng and Zhou Shihe live in the same small building?"

Wei Xiaozhu shook her head, "Doesn't seem like it, shouldn't be."

Hearing this, Wei Quan, who had already calmed down, felt her heart tighten and asked hurriedly: "The small building next door? Which one?"

Wei Xiaozhu thought for a moment and said: "It's the No. 26 small building."

Wei Quan's eyes widened, "Is it really the No. 26 small building?"

Wei Xiaozhu nodded and lowered her voice: "Shihe said, if the door of the No. 27 small building is closed, go to the No. 26 small building next door to find her. Mm, also..."

Wei Quan asked: "Also what?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Told me to keep it secret, don't reveal Li Heng's address to the outside world."

Wei Quan's heart surged.

Wei Xiaozhu noticed her aunt's expression was wrong and asked with concern: "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Wei Quan shook her head, and after a long while said: "You go back to the room and watch TV, I suddenly remembered something, I'm going to ask Professor Qian."

Professor Qian was one of the professors who fought for the No. 26 small building last year, also in Yan Garden, and lived in the same building as her, just on the third floor.

Wei Xiaozhu thought her aunt had private matters, so she didn't pursue it and went into the room.

"If you don't hear my voice, if someone knocks on the door, don't open it. Bolt the latch." Wei Quan sent her niece to the door and instructed earnestly.

Could she not instruct earnestly?

With her niece's extremely pure appearance, so beautiful, women would want to have a good relationship, so being careful was never wrong.

Otherwise, if something went wrong, it would be too late to regret.

Since she was a child, her family had been instructing her like this over and over again, and Wei Xiaozhu was already used to it and didn't feel disgusted.

To tell the truth, before coming to Fudan University, she had always been synonymous with "most beautiful" in people's mouths, whether in elementary school, junior high school, or high school, even in that small city of Lianyungang, relatives, friends, classmates, and neighbors all sighed: they hadn't seen anyone more beautiful than her since she grew up.

But coming to Hangcheng and seeing Zhou Shihe and Xiao Han, Wei Xiaozhu understood that the halo of "most beautiful" she had worn for several years might have changed hands, and now she was instead being talked about behind her back for her "pure" first love image.
