Chapter 509

~13 min read 2,491 words

Past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lushan Village welcomed two guests, Sun Xiaozhang and Lin Shusen.

The two arrived at the end of the alley almost right after Yu Shuheng.

Yu Shuheng in front discovered the two behind and specifically stopped to wait. Only after Sun Xiaozhang approached did she ask: "Uncle Sun, are you here to find Li Heng?"

Sun Xiaozhang nodded with a smile: "It seems nothing can be hidden from you. I'm here to discuss something with him."

Yu Shuheng gave a refined smile, looked up at the second floor of the No. 26 small building, took out the key, and led the way: "He is probably on the second floor. I'll take you in."

Seeing her skillfully open the door and enter the courtyard, Sun Xiaozhang and Lin Shusen quickly looked at each other, their eyes full of intrigue.

Following into the No. 26 small building, Sun Xiaozhang looked around and teased: "The layout of the house is quite warm. Shuheng, this is also your credit, right?"

Usually, the relationship was relatively familiar, so Sun Xiaozhang had no scruples when speaking and talked in a very homey tone.

Yu Shuheng shook her head: "Li Heng and some classmates decorated it."

Along the stairs, they soon reached the second floor. At this moment, there was no one in the living room, but there was movement coming from the study.

Yu Shuheng said: "He is in the study."

Sun Xiaozhang had known Li Heng for more than a year, but he hadn't seen his study yet, so he suddenly became interested and went straight toward the study.

Hearing the messy footsteps in the living room, Li Heng, who was wiping books, turned his head and happened to collide with Sun Xiaozhang's gaze: "Sun Xiaozhang, you're here."

He hurriedly put down the books and got up to greet them.

Then he greeted Lin Shusen: "Teacher Lin, you're here too. Please sit down."

Li Heng enthusiastically greeted the two to sit on the chairs, and Yu Shuheng had already poured two cups of tea over at this time.

Taking a sip of tea, Sun Xiaozhang put down the cup and praised it endlessly: "Not bad! It's been a while since I saw you, and the literary atmosphere on you is even stronger. You have the demeanor of a master."

Li Heng grinned and laughed happily: "It's all thanks to you. Our Fudan University environment nurtures people."

Sun Xiaozhang laughed, pointed at him with his finger happily, and asked again: "Are you going to ask for leave in the second half of this year? I've been waiting for the rumor of you asking for leave."

Asking for leave is the appearance; Sun Xiaozhang's original intention was to ask about his new book?

Asking him if he has any ideas for the next book?

Li Heng worded it: "For the time being, I have this idea. But it will be after National Day. By then, the time for leave might be relatively long. I hope the school will bear with me."

Sun Xiaozhang nodded with satisfaction: "That's easy to say. You can leave this school gate anytime, and you can come back anytime. Fudan is proud of you."

After chatting about the new book for a while, Sun Xiaozhang changed the subject and talked about the main business: "Is Jin Yong coming to visit you tomorrow?"

Li Heng had been at home and hadn't gone out: "Have you heard about it too, Principal?"

Sun Xiaozhang was full of smiles: "Not only heard, but the school gate has already hung a banner. I came specifically to ask you, do you want to hang your writer name up too? Hang it at the very top."

This showed Sun Xiaozhang's spoiling of Li Heng and his special regard.

Both knew it in their hearts. After experiencing tomorrow's event, his writer identity would definitely not be hidden from those with a heart, so according to Sun Xiaozhang's meaning, it would be better for us to announce it openly first.

Proudly tell the world: The famous literary giant is in our Fudan University! He is our Fudan person!

Hearing this, Li Heng subconsciously looked at Yu Shuheng, who nodded imperceptibly.

The two had the same opinion, and Li Heng knew it in his heart. He said to Sun Xiaozhang: "Okay, but please ask the teacher to keep a suspense. Only write the writer's name on the banner, don't announce my personal identity so quickly."

He was playing suspense, playing mystery, so that he could attract more and more influential reporters to explore the secret tomorrow, and then he could bring greater sensation and bring greater publicity.

He did this all for profit, to advertise for the Anta shoe factory tomorrow.

Sun Xiaozhang clapped his hands and laughed, as if he saw through his thoughts, and immediately promised.

The four sat and chatted for a while. In the middle, Lin Shusen left. Li Heng wanted to keep him for dinner but couldn't.

It was really impossible. Li Heng's banner had to be hung, Jin Yong was coming tomorrow, and Li Heng's writer identity was to be announced tomorrow. Fudan University would definitely be very lively tomorrow. In order not to make mistakes, Lin Shusen had to make some preparations in advance.

Sun Xiaozhang, on the other hand, didn't mean to leave and chatted quite speculatively with Li Heng and Yu Shuheng, and the atmosphere was always very good.

At dusk, Mai Sui came upstairs, pushed open the study door, poked her head in, and called the three to eat.

Sun Xiaozhang was no stranger to Mai Sui. After all, in the past year, the size of the activities at Fudan campus were all hosted by Mai Sui. For many activities, in order to show importance and support, leaders attended, and the two sides met no less than 10 times.

For this reason, Mai Sui didn't have much restraint in front of Sun Xiaozhang.

However, Sun Xiaozhang was a bit surprised. It wasn't that he was surprised to see Mai Sui, because he knew that Mai Sui and Li Heng were very good friends, and they even took the train together when they entered the university as freshmen last year.

What surprised Sun Xiaozhang was: Mai Sui's casualness in the No. 26 small building, as if she were the hostess here.

As a person who had lived for 60 years and spent most of his time dealing with students, Sun Xiaozhang had long practiced a pair of fiery eyes and instantly tasted some different signs.

However, he didn't show any emotion, looked at Li Heng, then at Yu Shuheng, and finally his gaze fell on Mai Sui. This was the first time Sun Xiaozhang had sized up Mai Sui so seriously.

Dinner was very sumptuous, with a table full of dishes. When he learned that it was Zhou Shihe who cooked it personally, Sun Xiaozhang sighed repeatedly.

Others didn't know the identity of the Zhou family?

Didn't he know?

What was Zhou Shihe's status in the Zhou family?

That was an only daughter! Sun Xiaozhang usually had to bring a bit of politeness when he saw her, but he didn't expect to be able to eat the food she cooked today.

After Sun Xiaozhang tasted a few dishes, he immediately praised repeatedly: "Delicious, delicious! This craftsmanship is extraordinary, perfectly inheriting the essence of Huaiyang cuisine."

Zhou Shihe smiled warmly, performed very appropriately, and always had a dignified appearance of being unperturbed by favor or humiliation.

The food was delicious, the rice was delicious, but there were three top-level beauties at the same table. Even if Sun Xiaozhang's eyes were dazzled, when he finished eating and was about to leave, he still patted Li Heng's shoulder meaningfully.

In order to express respect, Li Heng personally sent him to the alley entrance.

Walking a few steps, Sun Xiaozhang thought of something and turned back to ask Li Heng: "Do you know that besides being a literary man, Jin Yong has other identities?"

Li Heng understood that the other party was waking him up, not to neglect Mr. Jin Yong: "I know, he is in politics in Xiangjiang and has great influence on both sides of the strait."

Sun Xiaozhang nodded. Afraid that he was young and vigorous, he still tactfully mentioned: "In the past few years, the leaders that Jin Yong has met in the mainland are not easily met by an old man like me."

What level is Fudan University?

Even Sun Xiaozhang felt ashamed of himself, so one can imagine how high the treatment Jin Yong received in the mainland was.

They were all people with status, and some things were stopped at the point. Sun Xiaozhang didn't mention it anymore, instructed a few more words, and then walked away with an umbrella.

Compared with the heavy rain in the afternoon, the drizzle at this time could almost be ignored. Li Heng stood in the rain for a while, then turned back to the alley.

"Yu Laoshi, not staying for a while?"

Returning to the end of the alley, Li Heng happened to run into Yu Laoshi coming out of the No. 26 small building.

Yu Shuheng glanced at him and said: "Come with me."

"Eh!"

Li Heng replied, turned around, and followed into the No. 25 small building.

Entering the house, changing shoes, and going to the second floor, Yu Shuheng asked him: "Do you drink coffee?"

Li Heng politely refused: "The food tonight was delicious, I'm a bit full, I can't drink it for now."

Yu Shuheng turned back to look at him, didn't do anything, and made a cup of coffee on her own.

Li Heng watched his nose and his nose watched his heart, without any emotional fluctuation because of his praise for the food just now.

Holding the coffee cup, Yu Shuheng sat opposite him: "After National Day, where do you plan to go?"

Hearing the string and knowing the elegance, Li Heng instantly understood the other party's thoughts, wanting to go with him.

Or rather, she didn't want to leave the opportunity to others.

However, he wasn't disgusted, but rather eager for it.

After all, she was the one who accompanied him to White Deer Village last time, and she helped a lot in the process, so he could concentrate on writing.

Thinking this way, Li Heng replied: "Westward, go to Aba and those places in Sichuan to walk around."

"There seem to be relatively many ethnic minorities there?"

"Mm."

Yu Shuheng gave birth to curiosity, and even the coffee in her mouth stopped in the air: "Why do you want to go to such a remote place?"

Li Heng opened his mouth and came: "It can be considered a whim. I just want to write a novel about ethnic minorities. Currently, there is only a story outline, and there are many details that need to be checked and filled in."

Seeing him so confident, Yu Shuheng didn't ask further, but supported him with action: "Leave the matters of food, clothing, housing, and transportation to me. I will send someone to go there to scout ahead tomorrow, so we can go directly there when the time comes."

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

"What did you call me?" Perhaps thinking that she could be alone with him again, Yu Shuheng's mood instantly became great. She stared at him and spoke meaningfully.

Li Heng said: "Teacher."

Staring at each other for a while, Yu Shuheng put down the cup, turned her back to him, picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, then tore a piece of paper into three equal pieces, and then kneaded them into three balls.

Then she put the paper balls in her palm, put her hands together and shook them ten or so times, and sprinkled them on the coffee table. Her red lips moved, and she said softly: "New place, new beginning, little boy, draw one of these three paper balls."

Li Heng asked: "Can I not draw?"

Yu Shuheng lowered her eyelids, and after a while, she said expressionlessly: "Then I will go talk to Huang Zhaoyi."

Li Heng was stunned, speechless, and had mixed feelings. For a time, various emotions gathered, and his heart felt bad.

The living room suddenly became quiet. Neither of them spoke. One looked down at the coffee in the cup, one looked at her, and they consumed each other. The atmosphere became increasingly heavy as time passed.

After about 10 minutes, he took a deep breath and asked slowly: "Is Teacher forcing me?"

Yu Shuheng's eyes, deep as a black hole, narrowed into a slit and she slowly raised her head: "If I wanted to force you, I would have long ago become the second Aunt Shen Xin in your mouth. You wouldn't have been able to get off my bed easily the first time you climbed onto it."

You look at me, I look at you, and another ten minutes passed. Li Heng finally lost patience and asked tentatively: "Is Teacher sending someone to follow me?"

Yu Shuheng said gloomily: "Arrived in Yang Pu at 11:30, didn't stay in Lushan Village all night, still need to follow?"

Oh, so it was a guess? So it was extortion?

Li Heng had a bottom line in his heart, and then he didn't argue with her about this matter.

As an old hand, he knew Yu Laoshi was secretly jealous, but due to her status and restraint, she didn't clearly tell him.

Since that was the case, Li Heng understood and gave her a step down, reaching out and grabbing a paper ball at random.

A moment later, under her gaze, he opened it, and it turned out to be a word written on it: Empty!

Empty!!!

Yu Shuheng's eyes condensed, staring at this word for three seconds, and then coldly sent him away: "You go, Teacher wants to rest."

Li Heng: "..."

Feeling that her iceberg aura could freeze people into sculptures, Li Heng stood up and walked away nimbly, without any dragging.

Watching him go down the stairs, Yu Shuheng leaned back fiercely, leaning against the back of the sofa, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, listless and powerless.

Did he go to Huang Zhaoyi's place last night?

Did he stay overnight at Huang Zhaoyi's house?

She urgently wanted to send someone to investigate, but she endured and endured, and finally endured it.
