Chapter 491
After finishing the call with Li Ran, Li Heng made another call to Gulou.
This time his luck was good, Zijin had just returned from reporting at school, and the two chatted in detail for more than half an hour.
Toward the end, Chen Zijin asked with a smile: "Husband, New Future Tutoring School is recruiting on the 7th, will you come that day?"
Li Heng pondered for a while and replied: "It depends on the situation, I'm quite busy here now, I might not be able to get away."
Chen Zijin was slightly disappointed.
Across the phone, Li Heng seemed to feel it and asked in a low voice: "Miss me that much?"
"Yes!"
Chen Zijin looked back at her future parents-in-law in the courtyard outside and asked again: "Did the second sister go to your place?"
Li Heng said yes, "Just arrived, scared me."
Chen Zijin asked: "Where is she now?"
Li Heng answered: "Talking to Yu Laoshi on the attic outside."
Hearing Yu Laoshi, hearing this terrifying love rival who stirred up a pool of clear water, Chen Zijin lost her energy all of a sudden, muttered a few words, and hung up the phone.
Li Heng held the receiver, stood there for a long while, and thought secretly in his heart: Song Yu knows about Yu Laoshi, Xiao Han knows about Yu Laoshi, looking at the situation just now, Zijin seems to know about Yu Laoshi's existence too.
How did they manage to know in such a short time?
They wouldn't have joined forces, right? Exchanged information, right?
Thinking of Song Yu's letter, Li Heng felt a bit fearful in his heart, feeling that he might have guessed the direction correctly.
Putting the receiver back, Li Heng came to the attic outside, and when he heard the second sister and Yu Laoshi exchanging experiences about women, he tactfully retreated and turned back to his own house.
Looking at his younger brother entering the study across the alley, Li Lan changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Does your family know about my little brother?"
Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly and said: "Mom likes him quite a bit."
Li Lan understood, and couldn't help but worry for Zijin and Xiao Han in her heart, but her face was still full of smiles, without revealing any flaws.
Later, Li Lan politely issued an invitation: "When you have time, come to our house to sit, in the two days my Mom and Dad went back, they often mentioned Yu Laoshi."
Yu Shuheng replied elegantly: "Okay."
She had already agreed with the little boy earlier to go home with him during the winter break, and she had been planning this matter.
On the other side, the study.
Li Heng found letter paper, preparing to write back to Song Yu, replying to the letter brought by Zhang Zui.
Finding paper and pen, he calmed down for a long while before he started writing, writing three paragraphs of content.
The first paragraph was to talk about his daily life and study situation as usual.
The second paragraph was to share about the pure music album.
And in the third paragraph, Li Heng got down to business, mentioning the serious matter, and while clearing up doubts for Song Yu one by one, he once again expressed his strong desire to marry her home.
He understood that Song Yu's letter had tested many things, but the core essence was only one: she wanted to know if his words counted? She wanted to know if he had forgotten his promise to her?
Honestly, Song Yu in this life and Song Yu in the past life had become somewhat different in their views on marriage, becoming more proactive.
In her past life, every time he talked about marriage, she would appear hesitant, in a state of wanting to marry him but feeling guilty toward her best friend, shrinking back.
But in this life, perhaps because he had run to Dongting Lake several times, and because he had run to get along with the Song family, she should have been moved by his sincerity, and at the same time, she was somewhat beyond her control. Therefore, she had a completely different attitude toward the issue of marriage.
But in any case, these were good things, and these were things Li Heng was happy to see.
Spending more than 20 minutes writing the letter, Li Heng checked it once, and after confirming there was no problem, he went to the post office before dark and mailed the envelope.
Originally, it would have been faster to entrust the second sister to bring this letter back to the capital.
But thinking that the second sister seemed to be more inclined toward Zijin emotionally, he, who was afraid of causing trouble, extinguished this thought.
Isn't it just a stamp and an envelope, although he didn't have much money in his pocket now, that didn't matter.
After mailing the letter, Li Heng turned his head and accidentally bumped into three people.
To be precise, three women, Wei Xiaozhu, Dai Qing, and Le Yao.
When he saw Le Yao, he thought he had seen a ghost, closed his eyes and opened them again, and asked curiously: "Classmate Le Yao, isn't it rumored that you are going abroad to study in the UK? Why are you still at Fudan University?"
Le Yao waved her hand and asked: "Who told you? Is it Xiaozhu, this traitor?"
Li Heng looked at Wei Xiaozhu and nodded happily.
Wei Xiaozhu laughed and explained: "Le Yao originally planned to go abroad, but she changed her mind at the last minute."
Li Heng made a sudden realization: "Understood, can't bear to leave us."
Hearing this, Le Yao followed the trend and joked: "You are a legendary musician now, our girls' dormitory is crazy about you, the road in and out is full of topics about you, every girls' dormitory is talking about you, when will you play a piece for us to listen to?"
Li Heng said readily: "No problem, which one do you want to hear?"
Le Yao said: "The Street Where the Wind Lives."
Li Heng said ah, "This piece needs piano accompaniment, it needs Zhou Shihe to do it together, how about when you are free one day, you come to Lushan Village, and we will play it for you."
Le Yao asked: "Where is Lushan Village? I've heard of it, but haven't been there."
Li Heng turned to Wei Xiaozhu, "Have you been there?"
Wei Xiaozhu said: "Been to Shihe's house."
"Okay, you take them there when the time comes." Li Heng instructed.
Wei Xiaozhu agreed, thought for a moment, and asked him: "Our two dormitories are having a dinner party in a few days, do you have time to come?"
Looking at each other, Li Heng tasted the meaning in her words, it should be asked on behalf of the two dormitories, so he nodded immediately, "What day?"
Wei Xiaozhu said: "Weekend."
Li Heng indicated: "Okay. If I forget because I'm busy, remember to remind me then."
Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said okay.
He still had things to do, chatted with the three women for a while, and left on his bicycle.
After he left, Le Yao asked Dai Qing: "Why have you been looking at him, why haven't you said anything?"
Wei Xiaozhu turned her head and looked at Dai Qing.
Dai Qing lowered her head and asked back after a while: "Say what? He doesn't like me anyway."
Le Yao and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other, speechless.
Objectively speaking, Dai Qing's appearance could be considered passable, and there were quite a few boys writing love letters to her in secret, receiving at least 20 every semester, both from their own school and surrounding universities. But unfortunately, Li Heng's taste was too high, the people around him were basically the unreachable little kings in other people's eyes, how could this compare?
One comparison could make a person angry to death!
Riding all the way to the No. 9 girls' dormitory building, he just stopped his bicycle and found that the girls coming and going slowed down their steps in unison, their eyes focusing on him.
Fudan University was a world-famous institution of higher learning after all, those who could get in these days were the proud children of heaven, most girls were looking at him reservedly, wanting to find something special about him.
It was really because Li Heng had been too awesome these past few days!
How awesome?
The TV news and newspapers were all about him. Especially Fudan University, it was even more exaggerated, shaping him into the great image of "The Light of Fudan", not only were congratulatory banners hung at the school gate and on the school paths, but even the campus radio was reporting his glorious deeds.
Just like the track currently being played by the campus radio station was "Nightingale".
Let me ask you, under the information bombardment of the trinity of sea, land, and air, could there be any fish that escaped the net?
Now, if anyone in Fudan University dared to say they didn't know Li Heng, they would definitely be committing public anger.
Although they might be jealous of Li Heng in their hearts, as long as they were outside the school, he became the capital for alumni to brag about, absolutely patting their chests and proudly saying to relatives and friends: Li Heng is from our Fudan University, we have even met, and even eaten together.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
Look, some bold girls couldn't help but try to ask cautiously: "Li Heng, I like your music very much, can we take a photo together?"
Facing dozens or hundreds of eyes, Li Heng didn't refuse, and agreed generously: "Okay."
The girl's face was instantly full of surprise, then she ran back to the dormitory in one breath, and then with the help of her roommates, took two photos with him in a row.
These things, once there is one, there is two, once the opening is made, it is like a mountain flood, it cannot be taken back.
Forget it, he took photos for more than 20 minutes.
I don't know who spread it, saying that Li Heng was taking photos with people at the No. 9 girls' dormitory building. As a result, the girls in the nearby buildings went crazy, were all excited, those with cameras brought cameras over, and those without cameras ran over.
What are they coming for?
To see the handsome guy, to see the legendary musician reported by CCTV news, to see the light of Fudan.
The sophomore, junior, and senior girls were all old hands, all saying that the law does not punish the masses, taking photos, some even secretly touching his head.
This scene stunned the freshmen who gathered around. They stood on tiptoe outside to watch, but didn't dare to have close contact with Li Heng like the seniors, but the eagerness in their eyes was undisguised.
A khaki-clad freshman in the crowd had bright eyes, and quietly instigated her best friend: "Ziyue, this senior is so good-looking, you were the most beautiful in our school in junior high and high school, do you dare to pursue him?"
Huang Ziyue, who was also a freshman, looked at Li Heng, who was constantly taking photos with girls through the crowd, bit her ice cream in small bites, and didn't speak.
The commotion downstairs was too loud, and Mai Sui, whose dormitory was on the second floor, was alarmed and went downstairs with Ye Ning. Behind them followed a dormitory of sisters.
Seeing Mai Sui appear, Li Heng ignored the onlookers, walked over, grabbed her wrist, and said: "Thank God, you finally came out, come with me, my second sister wants to see you."
It was the first time!
For the first time in public, Li Heng made such an intimate gesture toward her, Mai Sui's little heart was pounding, and she was shy for a while.
But now it was not up to her, with so many people watching, she couldn't possibly lose his face, pursed her lips, and was pulled to the bicycle by him just like that, and then sat obediently in the back seat.
Li Heng spread his feet and straddled the bicycle: "Sit tight?"
Mai Sui said yes softly.
Then the bicycle moved. What was eerie was that the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, both sides of the path were full of people, mostly women, but also a considerable number of boys who came after hearing the news.
Every dormitory window was full of heads, all girls.
They looked at this slowly moving bicycle, looking at the man and woman on the bicycle. Many girls' hearts were broken, heartbroken to death.
Among these people, the only one with a smile on her lips was Zhou Shihe at the second-floor window, she didn't come down, she knew Li Heng came for Sui Sui. She didn't want to steal Mai Sui's limelight.
The bicycle passed by the khaki-clad freshman and Huang Ziyue, when she saw Mai Sui's appearance at close range, the khaki-clad freshman who had been chattering just now shut her mouth, and stopped instigating her best friend to pursue Li Heng.
Huang Ziyue continued to bite the ice cream, but the biting action was obviously much slower, her eyes staring at Mai Sui without blinking. Invisibly comparing herself with Mai Sui.
As the bicycle left, the people around seemed to have discovered Huang Ziyue, the object who had been discussed privately by many seniors as soon as she entered university.
She really became a big campus celebrity, attracting a lot of attention along the way, and finally arrived at the entrance of Lushan Village alley, Li Heng touched his sweaty forehead and sighed: "They all say people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, I have truly experienced it this time, it's too terrible."
Mai Sui smiled softly and asked: "What does the second sister want with me?"
Li Heng teased: "What else could it be? You are my woman, of course, she is looking for her younger sister-in-law to build a relationship."
Hearing this, Mai Sui didn't make a sound, nor did she refute, but stared at his back in a daze.
Along the bluestone steps, when they reached the end of the alley, the two found that Li Lan and Yu Laoshi were still chatting on the attic, and at this time there was one more person, Chen Siya holding a child.
Li Heng asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go to Yu Laoshi's house to sit for a while?"
Mai Sui asked: "What about you?"
Li Heng answered: "Time is tight, I still have to write the tutoring school's teaching materials, I'll come to accompany you later."
Mai Sui was stunned.
Li Heng said: "I'll tell you about the tutoring school later, I'll send you over first."
He didn't need to send her, just as the two were whispering, Li Lan had already gone downstairs, went out, and came to the center of the alley.
Li Lan was very familiar, reached out to take Mai Sui's arm, and said enthusiastically and actively: "Younger sister-in-law, accompany me for a walk in Fudan campus, I haven't been to university, I envy your school very much."
Facing Li Lan's younger sister-in-law here and younger sister-in-law there, Mai Sui didn't know how to refuse at all, she had just arrived at Lushan Village, and turned around to follow her out again.
Li Heng didn't go, after watching the two women leave, he raised his head and shouted: "Teacher, Sister Chen, good evening."
Yu Shuheng smiled slightly.
Chen Siya replied: "Great writer, great musician, do you want to come up and sit for a while?"
Li Heng was ashamed, "I still have things to do, I'll come over later."
Watching him enter the door, watching him go to the second floor, watching him go to the study, Chen Siya suddenly said: "Shuheng, you should resign quickly, this ideal husband is becoming more and more outstanding, otherwise if you drag it on, there will be more and more women clinging to him."
Yu Shuheng pinched the spoon with her right hand, stirred the coffee slowly, and said softly: "If I resign, the pressure on him will be even greater, and it will be counterproductive."
Do you think she doesn't want to resign?
Do you think she doesn't want to grab this little man in one step?
It's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't, with the status of a teacher, Li Heng will get close to her. If she sheds this status, Li Heng might avoid her.
Because once there is no teacher status to cover, many things will be completely laid out, there is no way to choose, either be together directly to achieve good things, or slowly alienate.
The status of a university teacher is a double-edged sword for her, while binding the two, it is also the last window paper that maintains the two.
At the same time, Yu Shuheng vaguely felt that this little boy was not very honest, and seemed to like the forbidden pleasure and stimulation brought by the teacher status.
Well, she also likes it a little bit.
For example, the two of them hugging now, or being intimately close, might be more interesting, more memorable, and can better maintain the freshness and durability of the two's feelings than going straight to bed.
Chen Siya understood her friend's meaning, felt sorry for her, and then asked: "Time waits for no one, he is young and can drag it out, but you don't have a few years to delay, do you have any long-term ideas?"
Yu Shuheng sipped her coffee elegantly, "Your Aunt Shen Xin hopes I have a child before I'm 30."
Chen Siya calculated, "Doesn't that have to wait until he graduates?"
Yu Shuheng said unhurriedly: "At least wait until junior year."
Chen Siya didn't understand: "Why junior year?"
Yu Shuheng smiled meaningfully, without explaining.
Seeing that her best friend didn't want to talk, Chen Siya changed the subject: "Is Mai Sui really with Li Heng?"
Yu Shuheng asked back: "What do you think, Siya?"
Chen Siya thought for a while and said: "Mai Sui should like Li Heng very much, every time Li Heng appears, her eyebrows reveal unusual joy inadvertently. This is an emotion Mai Sui doesn't have when looking at others."
Yu Shuheng agreed with this, saying: "At present, there is still a layer of gauze between the two."
Chen Siya was surprised, she thought they had slept together long ago, and then asked: "He is ambiguous with several women, aren't you jealous?"
Yu Shuheng answered the question with another: "If you and Old Fu hadn't married, would you be willing to get entangled with him?"
Chen Siya was stunned, and laughed after a long time: "This is really hard to say. I wouldn't take the initiative, if he had the guts to attack me, I probably wouldn't resist. Not to mention anything else, having a child with him would definitely be very beautiful, you know I have no immunity to good-looking children."
Yu Shuheng teased: "If there is an afterlife, in the next life, I'll run to Old Fu's house in the middle of the night."
Chen Siya couldn't stop laughing: "Didn't I misjudge him? I didn't expect Old Fu to have a day of going crazy. That night he was like a mad dog, pressing me on the floor and I couldn't move. The weather was cold, the floor was cold, now looking back at those 10 minutes of suffering, I wish I could cut him into a thousand pieces."
Yu Shuheng laughed, the coffee in her mouth almost spilled out: "It can be considered unforgettable."
Chen Siya said depressedly: "That was my first time."
Hearing the woman's first time, Yu Shuheng looked at Li Heng, who was burying his head in editing teaching materials in the study, from afar, her heart was infinitely yearning, she would not tolerate her first time being spent on the floor.
Following her friend's line of sight, Chen Siya also looked at Li Heng.
After a while, Yu Shuheng said: "Is Fu Laoshi planning to go to the United States?"
Chen Siya answered: "Your news is well-informed, recently many of his fellow apprentices in the United States are contacting him, wanting to invite him to go over and start a business together."
Yu Shuheng asked: "What type?"
Chen Siya answered: "Old profession, financial investment company."
Yu Shuheng asked: "What does Fu Laoshi really think in his heart?"
Chen Siya said: "He is very tempted, but I clearly stated that our mother and daughter will not go with him."
Yu Shuheng turned her head.
Chen Siya said: "If I wanted to go to the United States, I would have gone long ago, I wouldn't have waited until now. My younger sister hasn't married yet, and the two old people at home are getting old, I have to guard by their side."
Yu Shuheng put down her coffee cup, reached out to take the child, shook it gently and said: "It's good not to go, when the time comes, let Old Fu help Li Heng."
Chen Siya was surprised: "Help Li Heng? Is he planning to open a company?"
Yu Shuheng said slowly: "It's already open, there are shoe factories, there are tutoring schools for studying abroad, I can feel his ambition, in the future let Fu Laoshi manage an investment company, I'll take a share, you two also take a share, leave the big head to him."
When Yu Shuheng said this, she perfectly inherited the background of the Yu family, and it had a taste of being a matter of course.
And Chen Siya didn't have any discomfort, or rather, the more she understood the energy of the Yu family, the more she could accept this tone. On the contrary, in her view, this was her best friend sincerely treating her as one of her own, wanting to support her family.
Chen Siya was very happy and readily agreed.
Around 11:30 at night, Li Heng opened the study and walked out, finding that the second sister and Mai Sui were chatting and laughing while watching TV on the sofa.
Observing Mai Sui's appearance carefully, it seemed much better than when she first met the second sister, the tension and discomfort had disappeared, and she became very relaxed, which made his hanging heart finally land.
The second sister is worthy of being the second sister, she looks like a person, when she wants to please someone, no one can resist, that mouth is really too good at talking.
There was movement in the house, and the two women looked over.
Li Lan asked: "Little brother, are you going to sleep?"
Li Heng said: "Not in a hurry, I'll take a shower first."
Li Lan waved her hand: "Then go wash quickly, I'll return the younger sister-in-law to you in a while."
Li Heng said okay, and entered the shower room.
After listening to the conversation between the siblings, Mai Sui was slightly embarrassed, but didn't refute.
Because she knew clearly that refuting was useless, he even dared to pull her to the room in front of Uncle Li and Aunt Tian, presumably he would dare to do it tonight too.
After getting along for these few hours, Mai Sui changed her attitude toward the second sister and had a hint of intimacy. Regardless of how this second sister treated Chen Zijin and Xiao Han?
She was now recognized by his family, and she was already satisfied.
Half an hour later, Li Lan entered the room.
Li Heng and Mai Sui entered the second bedroom, the two didn't go to the master bedroom.
Because the master bedroom was where Xiao Han spent the night in this house, Li Heng didn't mention it, and Mai Sui wouldn't think about it, they had a very tacit understanding.
Just as they reached the bed, before she could lie flat, Mai Sui was suddenly pressed down, she was stunned, felt his body was harder than iron, her cheeks changed like colorful clouds, full of blushes.
After Mai Sui took a few deep breaths, she stretched her hands back, slowly sat up, rested for a moment, then she had movement again, crossed him to get out of bed, found clean clothes, and went to the shower room.
Under the shower spray, Mai Sui's mind was full of the scenes of him biting and "going crazy" before, her body softened again, leaning against the wall panting.
She took this bath for a very long time, but when she washed and changed clothes, it was even longer.
Especially the large piece of white romance on her pants made her ashamed, having no place to hide.
Summer clothes are very thin, will it penetrate? Will she get pregnant?
She thought so.
A while ago she read a report, the heroine of the event was clearly still a girl who didn't know anything about people, but she happened to be pregnant.
Tonight the two were almost exactly the same.
She even vaguely had an intuition that Li Heng hadn't started to exert force at all, just didn't want to make her too embarrassed, afraid of scaring her, so he tasted it and stopped, ending the battle hastily.
In the messy thoughts, the clothes were finally washed, and she took them to the attic.
Later Li Heng entered the shower room.
Hearing the small footsteps coming from the living room outside, Li Lan in the room looked at the time, and then turned over and went to sleep, a thought flashed through her mind before falling asleep: the raw rice has already been cooked into cooked rice, Yu Laoshi is really a straw bag!
After taking a quick shower for a few minutes, when she returned to the room, Mai Sui was bending over with her back to her changing the bed sheet.
Li Heng leaned over: "Did you dirty the bed sheet?"
Facing such a straightforward question, Mai Sui was too shy to respond, and spread the bed on her own.
