Chapter 513
Sending Li Guang back to the dormitory, Li Heng chatted and joked with the group of boys in 325 for half an hour before heading home.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the sky was slowly darkening.
On the way back, Li Heng saw red banners about "Writer Twelve Months" on many small paths on campus, hanging between tree trunks or standing on the edge of the grass.
It seems the school takes it quite seriously, he counted them small-mindedly all the way, and there were 7 banners in just one direction.
"Li Heng! What are you doing?"
Just as he counted to the 7th one, a voice came from the right side.
Turning his head to look, he found it was old Fu and Chen Siya, the latter still holding a baby.
Old Fu sighed repeatedly upon meeting: "I just returned to school and found that the sky had changed; you kid are in the limelight now, there are slogans about you everywhere."
Li Heng smiled happily and walked over: "Haven't been back to Lushan Village recently, where did you and Sister Chen go?"
Chen Siya replied: "The elders at home were uncomfortable, we recently went back to our hometown."
Li Heng asked: "Teacher Fu doesn't have classes?"
Old Fu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "You kid just know how to talk nonsense, I'm a teacher, how can I not have classes? I drive Siya's car back every day."
The three of them chatted while walking, and Chen Siya interjected: "Before when I talked to Shuheng on the phone, she revealed that your pure music album exploded overseas, earning US dollars and pounds, congratulations, after the great writer and legendary musician identities, you're going to have another great tycoon title."
Li Heng was happy to hear this: "Really? I've been busy recently and haven't paid much attention to these, nor did I ask Yu Laoshi. Did she mention it to you? How many copies were sold overseas?"
Chen Siya nodded: "She gave a rough number, overseas seems to have sold over 2.3 million copies, as for the specific regional distribution, I wasn't convenient to ask in detail at that time."
Li Heng was shocked!
Directly stunned on the spot!
He thought the 420,000 copies domestically were already terrifying enough!
He didn't expect that in just one month, overseas would be so crazy!
It can only be said that a handed-down classic is indeed a handed-down classic, the power is just great!
One song was already quite remarkable!
Whoa! When 10 classic songs teamed up, they directly ignored nationality and skin color, killing gods where gods stood and Buddhas where Buddhas stood! Killing crazy!
Seeing Li Heng like this, old Fu slapped his thigh and laughed, turning back to tell his wife: "Look! Look! You kept praising him for being steady in the past.
Heh, I said it, it's not that he's steady, but that this kid has big plans, small troubles can no longer attract his attention, this 2.3 million sales figure came out, directly stunning him."
Li Heng was indeed stunned, stretching his neck and asking uncertainly: "Is it true?"
Chen Siya nodded with a smile: "Shuheng told me, absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her yourself."
Hearing this, Li Heng, with a surging heart, immediately flew away, running wildly along the bluestone steps to the end of the alley regardless of anything.
Seeing this, the fake Daoist old Fu shook his head with a smile: "Li kid is still not excited enough, if it were me, I would have been shouting all the way, heh."
Chen Siya was speechless: "Stop with the kid kid, it doesn't sound good, he's full of talent, there are few people in this world who can compare, you have to learn to respect people."
"I admire his talent, old Fu, from the bottom of my heart. Want me to change how I address him? That's absolutely impossible, I think kid is quite intimate." Old Fu refused to change.
End of the alley.
The doors and windows of building No. 26 and building No. 27 were tightly closed; it looked like Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe hadn't returned yet.
And building No. 25 didn't have the lights on either, the courtyard gate was ajar, judging by its appearance, it seemed to be the same as when he left a few hours ago?
Could it be that Yu Laoshi hadn't come down?
Could it be that Yu Laoshi hadn't eaten dinner yet?
Thinking of this, Li Heng didn't think much more, quickly pushed open the courtyard gate and ran in, running to the second floor in one breath without obstruction.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming up, Yu Laoshi, who was lying on the sofa, raised her head slightly, and when she saw it was him, she leaned her head back on the pillow to rest.
Realizing that he had disturbed the teacher's rest, Li Heng slowed down his pace, walked over, walked to her side, and began to secretly look at the woman on the sofa.
It must be said that Yu Laoshi, who was full of scholarly temperament, looked very noble, and her lazy reclining appearance was extremely seductive, her figure tall and full, undulating and exquisite, just one glance, and he secretly swallowed his saliva, becoming restless.
The living room went from intense noise to becoming extremely quiet, it seemed to be in the blink of an eye.
Seeing his gaze toward her becoming more and more complex, more and more aggressive, Yu Laoshi, who was expressionless, twitched the corner of her mouth imperceptibly, then her right hand took out a pillow and placed it on her chest.
She asked softly: "Little boy, running up so anxiously, what is the matter with the teacher?"
Li Heng suppressed the restlessness in his heart and asked anxiously: "Did the overseas album really sell 2.3 million copies?"
Yu Laoshi asked clearly: "Just for this?"
I'm dying of anxiety, and you're still hanging me out to dry.
Really wish I could let her see what "the dragon raises its head on the second day of the second lunar month" means.
Li Heng muttered a few words to himself, and said seriously: "This is a big deal for me."
The deep gaze stayed on his face for a while, Yu Laoshi slowly closed her eyes and said: "It's true, I also received the summary of overseas sales half an hour ago. Among the single markets, the album sold best in the UK and Japan, with sales exceeding 400,000 copies each. The US exceeded 300,000 copies, Hong Kong also had 150,000 copies, and South Korea and the other side of the strait seemed to be around 60,000 copies.
There are too many European and American countries, so I didn't look at them one by one. However, I did hear a piece of news from a friend in London..."
Li Heng urged: "What news?"
Yu Laoshi half-opened her eyes, looking at him with a smile, no matter how anxious he was, she just wouldn't speak.
He was speechless.
After staring at each other for a while, he had no choice but to lean over, wanting to kiss her red lips.
Unexpectedly, Yu Laoshi blocked his mouth with her hand in time, then patted the sofa next to her, signaling him to sit down: "Why are you so excited today? A bit unlike you."
"Unexpected joy, so excited." Li Heng sat down next to her as told.
Yu Laoshi stared at him quietly for a long time, and said with her vermilion lips parted: "A friend in the UK told me that this album has already reached the second place on the UK album chart, and at the current speed, there is great hope for it to reach the top in the next few weeks. I didn't intend to tell you so quickly, thinking I'd tell you when it reached first place.
But since you already know, I'll release the news later, let it ferment well in the news media, and promote the further sale of the album domestically."
Li Heng only had eyes for the first place, his eyes shining as he asked: "How far is the distance to first place?"
"Judging from the data, it's still quite a bit off, after all, this is an imported album, and it's from our country, there are some things you should know in your heart. This is also the reason why I used the word 'hopeful'." Yu Laoshi said.
Li Heng was surprised: "Didn't you say you wanted to use Hong Kong as a foothold?"
Yu Laoshi nodded: "It was released through Hong Kong-related channels. Otherwise, do you think our domestic album could open up the overseas market so quickly? Little man, you have to be content."
In just a few sentences, Li Heng heard the huge obstacles and hardships that were unknown to others.
Instantly, his mood calmed down a lot, and he thanked her sincerely: "Teacher, thank you."
Yu Laoshi smiled elegantly: "You really should thank me, in order to open up the European and American markets, I used up a lot of favors, this is not something that money can easily exchange for."
Li Heng thanked her again.
Later, he asked: "Teacher, have you eaten dinner?"
Yu Laoshi said: "Your Aunt Shen Xin came over and brought me dinner."
Li Heng looked around, "Where is the aunt?"
"Why? You're afraid of seeing her, I helped you do things, so you want to see her?" Yu Laoshi teased.
Li Heng blinked: "Not at all, I'm not afraid of her, I just don't want to get married in a short time."
Yu Laoshi heard his subtext, but there was no big fluctuation in her emotions.
Because she had already seen through it, thought it through.
She turned her back, lazily saying: "The teacher is a bit tired, you go do your things, I'll rest for a while."
Hearing her order him to leave, Li Heng stood up slowly, and after wandering his gaze on her graceful back twice, he finally turned and left the second floor.
It was a coincidence, just as he came out of the courtyard of building No. 25, he ran into Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe, who were holding fruit, and should have just returned from outside school.
Zhou Shihe glanced at him quickly, then secretly glanced at the window on the second floor of building No. 25 behind him, took out her key, and was about to enter building No. 27.
Li Heng instinctively took the fruit from Mai Sui's hand and said to Zhou Shihe: "Comrade Shihe, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while?"
Zhou Shihe turned her head to look at him, but her feet didn't show any intention of moving.
Seeing this, Li Heng didn't keep her in suspense: "Just got news from Yu Laoshi, our album is very successful overseas, and 2.3 million albums have been sold so far."
Zhou Shihe was surprised, looked at him, looked at Mai Sui, and then looked at building No. 25 again, and after a while said gently: "Congratulations!"
Li Heng smiled like a flower, correcting: "It should be congratulations to us, this is the result of the three of us."
Zhou Shihe smiled faintly, and said softly: "I'll go take a shower first, and come find you two later."
Hearing that the album sales were so good, she actually felt a kind of inexplicable happiness in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of Li Heng and Mai Sui.
Li Heng nodded: "Okay, see you later then."
Zhou Shihe smiled without saying a word, opened the courtyard gate, and walked in.
Watching Miss Zhou enter the house, Li Heng turned back, took Mai Sui's hand, and entered building No. 26 without any scruples.
Mai Sui looked down at their joined hands, then looked at the back of his head, and when she reached the door, she turned her head to look at building No. 24 and building No. 25.
As a result, Chen Siya was standing on the second floor of building No. 24.
Looking at each other across the air, Chen Siya smiled faintly at her.
Mai Sui's ears were burning, she didn't know how to respond, and in her hesitation, she was pulled into the house by Li Heng.
Sensing something was wrong, Li Heng changed his shoes, put down the fruit, and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Mai Sui shook her head.
Li Heng stared into her eyes: "I'm just too happy, I want to share my joy with you."
"Yeah yeah."
Mai Sui's eyes flashed weakly twice, then she said shyly: "I can feel it."
Li Heng kicked the door shut.
Her body instinctively shrank in fear, then straightened up again, forced to lean against the shoe rack.
Li Heng bent down to get her shoes, and after a while, phrased it: "After September, I'm going to leave for a while."
At this time, Mai Sui was a bit dazed, looking at him changing her shoes, not hearing what he had just said?
Changing from left foot to right foot, finally Li Heng held her ankle and looked up, asking: "Did you hear what I just said?"
Mai Sui blinked like he usually did to hide her embarrassment.
Li Heng sighed: "I spent so much effort changing your shoes, it's the first time in my life I've changed shoes for someone else, I put in the effort to please, but the result I got was playing the lute to a cow?"
Mai Sui smiled tenderly, her eyes full of embarrassment.
After staring at each other for a while, Li Heng asked again: "What did I just say?"
At this moment, Mai Sui was surrounded by a kind of spontaneous happiness, and said softly: "First time changing shoes for someone else."
Li Heng asked for credit: "I'm a great writer, a musician, other women chase me for ten streets and can't see my shadow, but now I'm squatting on the ground and don't want to get up, rare, right?"
Mai Sui couldn't help but laugh, a ripple of extreme fascination appearing on her face. This was what was written in the book, one smile and a hundred charms.
Li Heng's head buzzed, then he was replaced by a kind of nirvana and ethereal feeling, he forgot to speak for a moment, looking dazed.
Mai Sui looked down at his expression, and a sense of achievement and pride that was hard to describe suddenly burst out in her heart: she had only seen this expression on his face twice.
The first time, it was when he looked at Song Yu, which happened in the first year of high school.
The second time, it was when he looked at Shihe in the piano room.
And other women, even the exquisite Xiao Han, even the scholarly Yu Laoshi, even the beautiful Chen Zijin, had never received such treatment from him.
And now, she had seen it.
She had thought that in her lifetime she would never see a third time.
But she didn't expect the third time to come so quickly.
And she didn't expect the third time to happen to her.
This gave her an urge to cry, out of happiness.
Gazing at each other, gazing at each other, the two were drawn together by something, slowly getting closer, and finally kissed together, unable to part.
3 minutes...
5 minutes...
10 minutes passed...
Until they were almost suffocating, Mai Sui pulled away from his mouth, raised her head slightly to pant, and gazed at him tenderly.
Li Heng hugged her waist and abdomen, lowered his head and asked: "Like it?"
Mai Sui smiled shyly, avoided his naked gaze, rested her head on his left shoulder, hugged his waist and abdomen with both hands, and relied on his embrace with peace of mind.
Li Heng smelled her hair, and repeated what he had just said: "In half a month I'll leave Shanghai and go to Sichuan to collect folk songs."
Collecting folk songs meant the birth of a new novel.
Mai Sui was sincerely happy for him: "Okay, take care of yourself."
"I know, I will." Li Heng reached out and stroked her face: "Then this home is handed over to you."
This was a heavy entrustment.
This was a kind of trust.
The two knew it well, and the implication was even more extraordinary.
Finally, Mai Sui, who had struggled in her heart, immersed herself in this love and couldn't extricate herself, agreeing softly.
