Chapter 531

Watching him walk away, Huang Ziyue pulled a love letter from her pocket and lowered her head to stare at it for a long while; she had wanted to give it to him several times just now, but she always lost her nerve at the critical moment.

She had written it during her spare time at military training, writing three in total.

Returning to her grandfather's house, she saw him in his chair the moment she entered, and Huang Ziyue walked over and called out:

"Grandpa."

Sun Xiaozhang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you see that kid?"

Huang Ziyue sat on the chair beside him: "He's a great writer; the respect he receives when he goes out is no less than yours."

Sun Xiaozhang lifted his eyelids: "He's more popular than me."

Huang Ziyue turned to her side: "Then aren't you being too excessive? Who acts like that upon a first meeting?"

Sun Xiaozhang said earnestly: "You're still young, you don't understand."

Huang Ziyue asked: "What don't I understand?"

Sun Xiaozhang thought for a moment, then finally decided to give her a hint: "He is the person the only daughter of the Yu family has set her sights on."

Huang Ziyue pondered for a moment, "That Yu Laoshi from the School of Management?"

Sun Xiaozhang nodded.

Huang Ziyue asked: "Isn't his partner Xiao Han?"

Sun Xiaozhang said: "She still is for now."

He only said half of what he meant, but Huang Ziyue understood: she is still his partner now, but that doesn't mean she will be in the future; after all, he is someone the women of the Yu family have set their sights on.

Huang Ziyue asked: "Is it that once something is eyed by the women of the Yu family, no one else can compete for it?"

Sun Xiaozhang felt a tightness in his chest, stood up, and returned to his study, thinking that while that kid's character wasn't much, his calligraphy was quite good.

….

Lushan Village.

Li Heng, having arrived at the end of the alley, saw that the doors and windows of the small buildings at numbers 26 and 27 were tightly shut; he thought for a moment, then turned and walked back toward the school gate.

Yu Laoshi was not there tonight; she had returned to the Yu family home.

If he wanted to make a phone call, he had to go outside.

Arriving at the grocery store, he found that there were actually still people making calls at this hour, so he had no choice but to wait in line.

"Hey, Li Heng, it really is you."

Just as he was waiting in line and thinking about things, a female voice came from beside him.

Li Heng turned his head to look and discovered it was Teacher Wei Quan, dressed in a fashionable emerald green outfit, looking quite feminine. She was carrying a bag full of snacks and braised meat.

He called out: "Teacher."

Wei Quan asked: "Are you here to make a call?"

Li Heng said yes.

Wei Quan looked at the four people waiting in line ahead of him and extended an invitation: "Go to my place to call; it just so happens that Mai Sui and Shihe are there too, along with Xiaozhu."

Li Heng felt a bit tempted upon hearing this, but shortly after, he declined her kindness: "No need, thank you, Teacher. I have some things to take care of after I finish my call."

Hearing this, Wei Quan nodded and left.

Phone bills were incredibly expensive these days, and few people were willing to make calls casually. Although there were four people ahead of him, the total time spent didn't exceed 15 minutes, and it was soon his turn.

For the first call, he dialed Chief Editor Liao.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Senior brother, it's me."

"It's so late, do you have something to discuss by calling me?"

Hearing the exhaustion in the other person's voice, Li Heng asked: "Are you still working?"

Chief Editor Liao said: "I'm in a meeting."

Li Heng kept it brief: "I'm going to Jingcheng tomorrow morning, and flying to Shudu the day after."

Chief Editor Liao understood: "Alright, I'll meet up with you in Shudu the day after tomorrow."

"Done."

After discussing the meeting point, the two ended the call.

For the second call, he dialed the Li family home at the Drum Tower in Jingcheng.

"Ring, ring..."

"Ring, ring..."

The phone was answered after two rings; it was Li Lan.

"Hello, hello."

"Sister, it's me."

"Are you trying to find Zijin?" Skipping the pleasantries, Li Lan asked bluntly.

Li Heng replied: "Second sister is truly a psychic."

"Pfft, last time someone promised to come find Zijin for National Day; did you think I'd forget that so quickly?" Li Lan rolled her eyes.

Li Heng asked: "Is Zijin there?"

Li Lan replied: "She's not; she's at the Renmin University dormitory. Which day are you coming? I'll notify her."

Li Heng said: "Tomorrow morning's flight, I'll arrive around noon."

"Alright, sister will prepare lunch and wait for you," Li Lan said.

Li Heng happily said okay.

Li Lan thought of something and asked again: "There's no tag-along this time, right?"

Li Heng said: "No."

"That's good. You owe Zijin too much; if there's a tag-along this time, I won't even want to talk to you," Li Lan nagged.

Li Heng chuckled and changed the subject: "How are Mom and Dad's health?"

Li Lan said: "They're in great health, cooling off at the entrance of the hutong. They've made quite a few neighbors in the year they've been in Jingcheng."

"That's a good thing; neighbors should interact more," Li Heng said.

Li Lan asked: "Do you have anything else?"

Li Heng replied: "Nothing else."

"If not, then I'm hanging up; phone bills are too expensive, be frugal." After saying this, Li Lan hung up without giving him any face, then tidied up and went to the pastry shop.

For the third call, Li Heng thought for a moment and intended to call Huang Zhaoyi.

But he didn't expect that just as he pressed the number keys, his right shoulder would be lightly tapped from behind.

Li Heng turned around and was immediately stunned: "Old Yong, why are you here at this hour?"

Zhang Zhiyong looked full of sorrow, not as lively as usual, and got straight to the point: "Something happened, I'm here to borrow money from you."

Li Heng asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

Zhang Zhiyong found it hard to speak: "Damn it, don't ask, the point is that the old master needs money right now."

Seeing him swearing in frustration, Li Heng quickly paid the phone bill and pulled him to the side to ask: "How much money do you need?"

Zhang Zhiyong said: "1000."

Li Heng was surprised: "That much? You kid didn't get some girl pregnant, did you?"

"Get lost! I am devoted to Sister Chunhua; would I even look at other women?" Zhang Zhiyong was so angry he was spitting.

Li Heng probed: "Is it for Zhang Chunhua?"

The name Zhang Chunhua was too sensitive; Zhang Zhiyong immediately wilted, but he still wasn't willing to say more: "Just give me the money first, I'll pay you back in a while."

Seeing that he couldn't get the truth out after several attempts, Li Heng shut his mouth tactfully: "I don't have that much on me, it's at home."

On the way back to Lushan Village, Zhang Zhiyong mentioned Li Ran: "By the way, Grandpa Heng, Li Ran came to find me."

Li Heng was full of question marks: "I was just saying I couldn't find her these days; so she went to your place, where is she now?"

Zhang Zhiyong told him: "She rented a place in the alley behind our school and is staying there for now."

Li Heng stopped in his tracks and frowned: "Why didn't she come find me?"

Zhang Zhiyong twisted his mouth: "She said she was being hunted by some enemy and couldn't implicate you, so she planned to hide for a while and come find you after the heat died down."

So that was how it was.

Li Heng muttered to himself, and upon returning home, he emptied his savings, about 2300 yuan, and stuffed it all into the pocket of the dense-headed guy: "After you get back to school, give 1000 to Li Ran to use first; she probably doesn't have much cash left."

Zhang Zhiyong felt the bills in his pocket with his right hand and instantly felt a sense of relief: "Great kindness needs no thanks, the old master is leaving first."

Li Heng chased him to the door: "Not staying the night here?"

"Stay my ass, I have to catch a train." The dense-headed guy was already running ten meters away when he said this.

Within a few breaths, the dense-headed guy had disappeared from sight.

Li Heng stopped in the middle of the alley, pondered for a short while, then locked the door and started to chase, but ended up not catching the idiot even after chasing out of the school gate.

After thinking about it, he went to the grocery store and made another call, this time to Huang Zhaoyi.

"Ring, ring..."

The call went through on the first ring.

Huang Zhaoyi picked up the receiver and asked, "Li Heng?"

Besides Li Heng, only her family and Chief Editor Liao knew this number of hers.

That was why she asked if it was him the moment she spoke.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Heng said happily: "I thought you weren't there, didn't expect my luck to be this good."

Seeing his relaxed tone, a trace of a smile appeared on Huang Zhaoyi's face.

Li Heng asked: "Are you busy?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "Not busy."

Li Heng glanced at the grocery store owner chatting with the landlady of the restaurant nearby and lowered his voice: "I'm coming to see you."

Huang Zhaoyi was instantly filled with happiness: "Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Li Heng placed a bill on the counter and slipped away, rushing toward Wujiaochang.

While walking toward Wujiao Square, Li Heng ran into Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying, who were returning after closing their stall.

Don't know why?

When he saw the two of them, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Shihe's assessment: perhaps Bai Wanying had no intentions, but Zhang Bing might not be the same.

Bai Wanying asked: "Great writer, where are you going?"

Li Heng replied: "Going to buy some things; you're closing the stall so early today?"

"The braised dishes sold well, they're all sold out," Bai Wanying said.

Fearing it wouldn't be safe for him to be alone, Zhang Bing asked: "Old Li, do you want us to accompany you?"

Li Heng shook his head with a smile: "No need, I'll be quick, you'd better take good care of classmate Bai Wanying."

Passing by Wujiao Square, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him; he rubbed his eyes and confirmed he hadn't seen wrong—he actually saw Hu Ping and Chen Guifen. The two walked into a hostel together.

Chen Guifen used to be Zhou Min and Liu Yue's best friend; he didn't expect that after Zhou Min and Liu Yue went abroad, she would get so close to Old Hu?

Li Heng subconsciously lifted his left wrist to check: 8:24.

What were the two doing going to a hostel?

Spending the night?

Getting a room?

Damn it, he felt his brain wasn't enough to process this.

More than ten days ago, Hu Ping was still showing his cards to Wei Xiaozhu at Xiyuan, only to be angrily slapped three times; could it be love turned to hate? And in the blink of an eye, he started dating Chen Guifen from the class?

But dating is dating, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

How many days had even passed?

Watching Chen Guifen's disappearing back, Li Heng sighed, but didn't say anything more, nor was he curious; they were all adults, and everyone had the right to choose what kind of life to live.

Glancing at the hostel plaque, Li Heng continued on his way, and after 20 minutes of rushing, he finally stopped in front of a three-story building.

Before he could even knock, the courtyard gate opened automatically, revealing a tall figure.

Looking at each other through the gate, Li Heng asked: "Waiting specifically for me?"

Huang Zhaoyi smiled slightly, threw the stick in her right hand aside, and let him in.

Locking the courtyard gate, the two walked side by side into the small building.

While changing shoes, he suddenly turned around and stared at her lower abdomen, asking after a long while: "It's been several days since the 26th, no reaction?"

Mentioning this, a trace of gloom flashed in Huang Zhaoyi's eyes: "None."

Li Heng asked: "Are you on your period now?"

Huang Zhaoyi said yes.

Fearing he would turn around and leave, she lowered her head and summoned the courage to add: "If you have needs, I can help you in other ways."

Other ways?

It went without saying.

Li Heng stared at her bright red lips for a while, feeling tempted, but he didn't do it; he changed his shoes, walked over to the sofa, sat down, and patted the spot beside him: "Come over and keep me company."

Huang Zhaoyi was very obedient and sat down beside him demurely.

Li Heng asked with concern: "How is your, your, how is your mother's health?"

This "Auntie" always felt awkward, so he still didn't call her that.

Huang Zhaoyi said: "She was discharged a few days ago, she's doing okay for now. The doctor instructed me not to let her be stimulated again recently. So I didn't go home to live, I stayed here."

Li Heng asked: "She doesn't want to see you?"

Huang Zhaoyi nodded and then shook her head: "It's me who's afraid."

Li Heng listened in silence; half a minute later, he reached out both hands, picked her up horizontally, placed her gently in his arms, and lowered his head to gaze at her quietly.

This was the first time he had been this gentle.

Lying in his arms with such tenderness, Huang Zhaoyi felt her heart permeated by an indescribable emotion; she wanted to cry a little, but she hid the tears well in the corners of her eyes.

After looking at each other for a while, Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Can I kiss you?"

Li Heng said: "I am your man."

Huang Zhaoyi looked at him and smiled, her smile full of deep affection; after a long while, she propped herself up in his arms and kissed him sideways.

Li Heng watched her movements without blinking, and only opened his mouth to reveal a slit when she stuck out her red tongue.

After a passionate kiss, she still wasn't satisfied, started kneeling on his lap, kissing his neck, biting his collarbone and shoulder blades, and then continued all the way down...

Li Heng wanted to moan in comfort, but he held it back, and finally stopped her from going further down: "Not in a rush, keep me company and talk for a while."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi used a hair tie to gather her loose hair into a bun and lay back in his arms.

Li Heng asked: "There's something I need your help with."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi felt a sense of stability for no reason.

The man she was thinking of was asking her for help; what did this represent?

It represented that he was closer to her.

That he trusted her more and more.

That he considered her one of his own.

One had to know that Yu Shuheng was still standing behind him; instead of going to Yu Shuheng, he came to her, and Huang Zhaoyi didn't feel it was a bother at all, but rather felt a sense of satisfaction.

Huang Zhaoyi replied: "Okay."

Li Heng was surprised: "You're not going to ask what it is? Whether you can do it?"

"You said it, I am your woman," Huang Zhaoyi said, imitating his manner, her eyes bright and hiding a trace of pride.

Li Heng gazed at her intently, smiled abruptly, and then told her about Zhang Zhiyong coming to borrow 1000 yuan and leaving in a hurry.

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Are you worried something happened to him?"

Li Heng nodded.

Huang Zhaoyi sat up from his arms: "1000 yuan is indeed not a small amount."

As she spoke, she took the landline phone from the coffee table, started dialing, and after it connected, she instructed: "Help me keep an eye on someone..."

After about 3 minutes, she put the receiver back and turned to the side: "I'll go make a few dishes, let's have some wine tonight."

Li Heng frowned: "You're on your period, can you drink?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "I'll drink soda, I'll keep you company."

Li Heng agreed: "Done, don't stir-fry too many dishes, two will do."

Huang Zhaoyi went into the kitchen.

Li Heng went to her bedroom, found a set of clothes from the wardrobe, and took a shower.

"Ring, ring..."

"Ring, ring..."

Just as he came out of the bathroom, the phone in the living room rang.

Seeing there was no movement in the kitchen for a long time, Li Heng went to the kitchen door and said: "Your phone."

Huang Zhaoyi, who was meticulously stir-frying, heard this, turned off the fire, carefully examined his new clothes, and praised: "Looks good."

Li Heng lowered his head to check; the clothes were indeed quite tasteful and very much to his liking.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Little Aunt, it's me."

Before the Great Qingyi could speak, Liu Yue on the other end of the phone asked: "Is Li Heng there with you?"

Huang Zhaoyi was confused and turned to look at Li Heng.

Li Heng also expressed confusion.

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Why do you ask?"

Liu Yue said: "I had a dream earlier, I dreamt he was bullying you in bed."

Huang Zhaoyi: "..."

Li Heng: "..."

Liu Yue asked: "Did I guess right?"

Huang Zhaoyi denied: "No, today isn't the weekend, he's at school."

Liu Yue pressed: "Then how many times a month does he come to your place?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "I refuse to answer that question."

Liu Yue was as unscrupulous as ever: "Then I'll change the question, they say a woman at thirty is like a tiger, can he satisfy you in that regard?"

Huang Zhaoyi didn't dare to look at Li Heng: "Little Liu Yue, this isn't something you should be asking, I am your little aunt."

"Alright, alright, you've forgotten your niece now that you have a man; I was the one who set you two up, sigh, you've forgotten your meritorious minister..." Liu Yue nagged on and on.

Huang Zhaoyi listened patiently until the end and asked: "Do you have something to discuss with me at this hour?"

Liu Yue complained: "Your sister just called and scolded me."

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Why did she scold you?"

Liu Yue said: "What else could it be, because Grandma is sick and hospitalized; I couldn't even refute, I could only listen to the scolding honestly."

Huang Zhaoyi said: "That doesn't sound like you."

Liu Yue said: "She threatened me, saying she'd make me drop out if I didn't listen. Now she doesn't dote on me anymore, she's at home trying to have another child with Dad. I'm just puzzled, she's already 42, can a withered tree really bloom again?"

Huang Zhaoyi was surprised: "How do you know?" Liu Yue said mysteriously: "She has my eyes and ears around her."

Huang Zhaoyi thought through everyone around her eldest sister one by one, but couldn't guess who this spy was.

Liu Yue suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Little Aunt, I heard from Mom that you didn't take safety measures when you were with him, are you pregnant?"

Huang Zhaoyi lowered her head and was silent for a while: "No."

Liu Yue asked: "You want to have his child, right?"

Li Heng was there, so she couldn't be too direct about this, lest he suspect she and Little Liu Yue were colluding to pressure him; Huang Zhaoyi said: "I have something else to do, let's leave it at that for today..."

Before she could finish, Liu Yue shrieked: "Let Little Uncle-in-law answer the phone, I know he's there..."

Huang Zhaoyi ignored her and hung up the phone directly.

Thinking about it later, she placed the receiver back on the coffee table.

After doing all this, she said unnaturally: "Little Liu Yue is very naughty."

Li Heng didn't do anything, his gaze fixed on her chest.

Noticing his gaze, Huang Zhaoyi blushed, but a trace of joy appeared inside; she, who was about to get up and go to the kitchen, sat there without moving, letting him look.

After a long while, Li Heng suppressed the restlessness in his heart: "It's not too early, go finish cooking."

Huang Zhaoyi stood up: "Okay."

Watching her tall back walk into the kitchen, Li Heng had to sigh: this woman is truly a rarity in bed; besides Mai Sui, she is the person who can stimulate his nerves the most so far.

As for Mai Sui, that was another realm, a realm that an ordinary woman couldn't understand.

As long as she lay on the bed, that charming, coy, and reluctant appearance made Li Heng involuntarily hysterical; he could score two goals even through obstacles.

This was unimaginable with other women.

They had agreed on two dishes, but she made three meat dishes and one vegetable dish; fortunately, Hunan cuisine cooks quickly, so it didn't take much time.

"Red or white?" she asked.

"Red," Li Heng said.

She took out a bottle of red wine, poured him a glass, and then she drank soda, keeping him company and serving him.

Picking up a piece of braised pork, Li Heng praised: "Not bad, this is the best I've eaten since I left Hunan."

A smile appeared on Huang Zhaoyi's face; she hesitated for a while before summoning the courage to ask him: "Are you staying the night here tonight?"

He had to leave tomorrow, and Li Heng's original plan was to go to Shanghai Medical University to find his black-bellied wife, but the sudden appearance of the dense-headed guy disrupted his plans.

However, things had reached this point, so he naturally couldn't chill her heart, and he hummed in agreement.

Seeing that his physical state hadn't subsided, and he was still carrying a grandfather clock, Huang Zhaoyi summoned her courage and asked in a low voice in his ear, as if to please him: "Do you want me to help you now?"

Li Heng turned his head, stunned: "Now?"

Looking at each other, after a moment, Huang Zhaoyi moved her chair away, lowered her body, and crawled under the dining table...

Li Heng drank his red wine and ate his food, couldn't help but think of the classic plot of "tofu rolling in pickles," feeling very intoxicated.

Half an hour later, Li Heng looked down.

The Great Qingyi was covered in sweat, fine hair sticking wetly to her forehead, her fair swan-like neck breathing rhythmically; it really had a unique flavor.

"Knock, knock, knock...!"

"Knock, knock, knock...!"

After a while, knocking sounds came from outside.

Just at this moment, Huang Zhaoyi also finished her spell, gathered her hair back into a bun with both hands, and looked up at him.

Li Heng asked: "So late, who could it be?"

Huang Zhaoyi thought for a moment and guessed: "It should be Eldest Sister, or Second Sister; my landline phone isn't getting through, they probably ran over."

Actually, it was really easy to guess; only a few siblings and Chief Editor Liao knew her address here. Moreover, Chief Editor Liao only knew she lived in this area, not the specific location.

"They should be looking for you for something, go take a look," Li Heng said.

Huang Zhaoyi thought the same, and climbed up, but just as she stood up, she stumbled and almost fell.

Li Heng supported her with quick eyes and hands, asking with concern: "What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable?"

"No, it's nothing," Huang Zhaoyi's body was burning hot, how could she have the nerve to say her knees were sore and weak.

Catching her breath, she went into the bedroom and started changing clothes. The clothes on her body were half-wet from sweat, and it was uncomfortable sticking to her body.

Li Heng came in, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched all this.

Huang Zhaoyi was a bit shy, but she didn't hide from him, and changed her clothes from inside out sideways.

When she finished changing, Li Heng reminded: "You should go to the washroom."

Huang Zhaoyi froze, then couldn't help but use her finger to wipe the corner of her mouth, and then she stared at her finger...

She had no face to see anyone, and quickly fled the bedroom as if escaping.

A few minutes later, the Great Qingyi appeared downstairs, and upon looking out, it was indeed Second Sister Huang Zhiyun. Beside her was also her Second Brother-in-law.

Opening the courtyard gate, she asked: "Second Sister, Brother-in-law, why did you come at this hour?"

Huang Zhiyun said: "Your home phone wasn't getting through, I thought something happened to you, so I quickly called your brother-in-law to come take a look."

As she spoke, Huang Zhiyun asked suspiciously: "What are you doing? Why is your hair so messy?"

Having spent so many years together, Huang Zhiyun knew her little sister's living habits all too well; usually, let alone seeing people with a head of sweaty hair, there wouldn't even be dust in the house, she was the cleanest.

Huang Zhaoyi only lacked confidence when facing Li Heng; in front of outsiders, she was still a proper daughter of a great family, and she said without blushing or skipping a beat: "I was just cleaning the kitchen, I was afraid you'd wait too long, so I didn't have time to tidy up."

Huang Zhiyun was half-convinced by this, because her little sister had a habit of never dragging things out. Usually, she would clean the kitchen immediately after cooking and wouldn't drag it until so late.

Second Sister couldn't help but ask: "You just cooked?"

Huang Zhaoyi replied faintly: "I was suddenly craving something, so I made a late-night snack."

"Late-night snack? Didn't you stop touching that stuff a long time ago to keep a good figure to hook him?" Huang Zhiyun was quick-tongued and exposed her mercilessly.

The Second Brother-in-law beside her heard something was wrong, turned around silently, walked to another place, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked slowly.

Huang Zhaoyi looked embarrassed, and lowered her voice later: "Brother-in-law is here, save me some face."

Huang Zhiyun turned her head to glance at her husband, then stepped into the courtyard gate boldly, preparing to enter the house.

Seeing this, Huang Zhaoyi got a bit anxious, stopped her and said: "The house is being cleaned, it's a bit messy, Second Sister, you're in such a hurry to find me, is something the matter?"

Huang Zhiyun's suspicion grew even more; she looked up at the brightly lit second floor and blurted out: "Is there a man in the house? Did he come?"

Huang Zhaoyi still used the same rhetoric as she did with Liu Yue: "Today isn't the weekend, Li Heng is at school."

Huang Zhiyun clearly didn't believe it: "Li Heng isn't an ordinary college student, the rules and regulations of the school can't restrain him at all; with his status, he comes and goes as he pleases, and Fudan has to coax him, do you really take Second Sister for a fool?"

After saying this, Huang Zhiyun, who was also over 1.7 meters tall, pushed her little sister away and strode toward the house.

Huang Zhaoyi tried to reach out to pull her, but it didn't work after several attempts, so she could only stare helplessly and follow upstairs.

The Second Brother-in-law outside looked at his wife, then at his little sister-in-law, and finally looked up at the second-floor window. He chose not to enter.

Because just now, while his wife and little sister-in-law were talking, he had sharp eyes and saw a figure appear by the window. He felt that it was probably the man in the house who was worried about Zhaoyi's safety and was keeping watch by the window.

The Second Brother-in-law didn't guess wrong; Li Heng was indeed keeping watch by the window out of concern for safety, and when he saw that the visitor was Huang Zhiyun, he returned to the sofa and picked up a newspaper to read.

"Ceng, ceng, ceng..."

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the figures of the two sisters appeared at the top of the stairs.

Huang Zhiyun's gaze wandered around the room, then precisely locked onto the sofa position, locking onto Li Heng's back.

Later, Second Sister turned her head toward her little sister, thinking: Goodness! There really is a man hidden here.

Huang Zhaoyi moved her head away and didn't look her in the eye.

Taking two deep breaths, Huang Zhiyun walked over, facing Li Heng for the first time in a formal sense.

Seeing a figure appear in her peripheral vision, Li Heng looked up.

After looking at each other for a moment, he thought for a while and called out: "Second Sister."

He called her "Second Sister" not for anything else, but to give the Great Qingyi enough face.

Huang Zhiyun nodded, then sat on the sofa opposite him, her gaze falling on him, examining him carefully without any avoidance.

It had to be said, this man was impeccable from his looks, to his temperament, to his physique; no wonder he had fascinated her little sister, who had been proud and arrogant since she was a child, to the point of no return.

He was still quite well-endowed.

If she knew that her little sister, who was as beautiful as a fairy, had her cheeks stiffened for him, what would she think?

Li Heng was as steady as an old dog, sitting there without moving, his expression not changing at all, letting the other person's gaze wander over him.

Huang Zhaoyi was eager to protect her husband and sat down right next to Li Heng.

After looking at him, Huang Zhiyun subconsciously looked toward the dining table, and sure enough, bowls and chopsticks were piled up; her little sister was probably really cooking earlier.

But the next second, Second Sister was a bit puzzled. How much did her little sister like this man? The Huang family knew all too well, so why would she meet Li Heng in this state?

Shouldn't she have tidied up properly and put on a beautiful light makeup?

How could she be in this state?

Could it be...?

As someone who had been through it, Huang Zhiyun soon thought of the aspect of men and women's love; once the thought arose, she felt it became more and more correct.

Seeing Second Sister staring at her and him, Huang Zhaoyi's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but break the silence: "Speak, what is it you want?"

Huang Zhiyun came back to her senses, stared at the receiver on the coffee table that hadn't been returned to its place, and said: "Mom and Dad suddenly want to see you, I couldn't get through to your phone, so I called my house."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi felt a bit depressed.

It was so hard for Li Heng to come to her place, and so hard for him to agree to stay the night, but she didn't expect so many things to happen in the middle.

Huang Zhaoyi looked at Li Heng hesitantly.

Li Heng stretched out his right hand as he pleased and patted her left thigh, as if saying: Go, don't worry about me, I'll come again next time.

Huang Zhiyun's eyes went straight, staring fixedly at Li Heng's hand on her little sister's thigh, her heart filled with mixed feelings. So many excellent men had pursued her little sister, so many good families had wanted to marry into the Huang family, but her little sister didn't look at any of them.

Her little sister had to fall for a boy 14 years younger, and was even willing to be his mistress regardless of everything.

This, let alone Mom, she as Second Sister was also angry!

It was just that Li Heng's status was too special, so she couldn't flare up and could only watch all this happen.

Huang Zhaoyi understood his intention, then stood up and went to the shower room, intending to take a shower before going home.

Once the Great Qingyi left, only Li Heng and Huang Zhiyun were left in the room.

Looking at each other, Huang Zhiyun endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it, and said in the most peaceful tone possible: "I also know that Little Sister is much older than you, and I also know that we are the ones in the wrong first, so we can't, and shouldn't, have any harsh demands on you.

But Zhaoyi truly loves you!

As her own sister, I still hope she has a good home; can you, can you really not consider marrying her?"

The other person's attitude was good, so Li Heng didn't feel disgusted; he pondered for a while and phrased it: "Second Sister, from your perspective, you're not wrong; if I were you, I would think the same.

But, sigh..."

Li Heng paused, then continued: "If Zhaoyi and I had met a few years earlier, you wouldn't need to bring any of this up."

He said it very tactfully and quite obscurely.

But Huang Zhiyun clearly grasped his meaning: if he didn't have a partner, he would definitely marry her little sister. But he had a partner now and couldn't abandon his official girlfriend to marry Zhaoyi.

Huang Zhiyun was speechless, because the other person's words were very reasonable.

But immediately she felt Li Heng was making excuses; a partner? You have so many partners? Who are you talking about?

Song Yu? Xiao Han? Chen Zijin?

Or that Yu Laoshi Shuheng who follows you like a shadow?

Thinking of how he had provoked so many great beauties, and how he even dared to seduce a university teacher, Huang Zhiyun suddenly felt she had asked in vain today.

For a man who was used to eating a full-course banquet, if you suddenly removed all the other good dishes and left only one dish for him, it would be a ghost if he could agree.

As the saying goes, half a sentence is too much when words don't match.

After a simple probe, Huang Zhiyun had self-knowledge and knew that even if she talked until her mouth broke, she couldn't change the other person's mind, so she immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Not long after, Huang Zhaoyi was ready. The two sisters left the second floor.

Before leaving, the Great Qingyi placed the car keys in front of him.

Li Heng stared at the car keys for a while and didn't move.

Even if he drove to Xu Hui without stopping now, the road was so far that it would be too late; the girls' dormitory was already closed, and he wouldn't be able to see Xiao Han tonight no matter what.

….

Inside the car.

Huang Zhiyun couldn't stand the suffocating atmosphere and broke the deadlock to ask her little sister: "Zhaoyi, didn't Eldest Sister say you were preparing for pregnancy? Why did you invite him over again?"

While her little sister went to take a shower, she specifically looked around and found many tissues in the living room trash can, which made her think of many scenes.

Huang Zhaoyi looked at her nose and heart: "Didn't conceive."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiyun in the passenger seat turned her head abruptly, observed her little sister's facial expression for a while, and finally sighed: "It's good you didn't conceive this time, otherwise Mom would make a fuss about this child and probably go find Li Heng's parents."

Huang Zhaoyi said expressionlessly: "Even with a child, it wouldn't change the situation."

Seeing her little sister in this state, Huang Zhiyun knew she couldn't bring this up again today; it had reached the limit, and as the saying goes, things will reverse when they reach the extreme; pushing any further would destroy the relationship between the two sisters.

So she changed the subject: "Song Yu, Xiao Han, Chen Zijin, and that Yu Laoshi, who do you think he likes the most?"

Huang Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Song Yu, I guess."

Huang Zhiyun asked: "Does he want to marry Song Yu?"

Huang Zhaoyi said absentmindedly: "Probably."

The Second Brother-in-law, who hadn't spoken, interjected: "The Yu family probably won't let him have his way."

Huang Zhiyun turned her head toward her husband: "What's your take?"

Second Brother-in-law looked ahead and analyzed: "If Li Heng wants to marry the Song Yu you mentioned, or marry someone else, as long as it's not the one from the Yu family, it's a good thing for Little Sister."

Huang Zhiyun asked: "How is it good? Isn't it still being a mistress?"

Huang Zhaoyi's gaze drifted through the car window toward the night view outside.

Second Brother-in-law scanned his little sister-in-law in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said after a while: "Those he provoked in high school, their families simply can't compete with the Yu family. If Li Heng doesn't want to be eaten alive by Yu Shuheng in the future, he has to rely on Little Sister to balance the other party. When that time comes, Zhaoyi's status will rise, and even if she doesn't marry, it will be better than marrying."

What Second Brother-in-law said was meant for his wife, for the Huang family, and even more so for his little sister-in-law.

One was to implicitly advise the Huang family: a romantic figure like Li Heng lives by talent and creative inspiration; pushing too hard is not only useless but will accelerate the estrangement of the relationship.

To deal with someone like Li Heng, one can only use emotion and favor to bind him, making him feel guilty, so that he will be better to Little Sister.

Two was to warn his wife: don't fan the flames on this matter, but should follow Little Sister's wishes and say good things. At worst, even if you don't say good things for Little Sister, you should act as a lubricant and mediate in the middle.

This way, you don't offend either side and can make Little Sister and Li Heng remember your kindness.

Three was to remind his little sister-in-law Zhaoyi: fighting might ruin things, and blindly not fighting isn't necessarily a good thing; when men and women get along, it's about you retreating and me advancing, me advancing and you retreating, avoiding conflict, so that you can complement each other.

Who knows, one day, Li Heng might get tired of the Yu family's overbearing nature and instead remember Zhaoyi's kindness, and instead cherish Zhaoyi more and more.

Of course, Second Brother-in-law wasn't very clear about the current situation of the Yu family, but a great family has a core tenet that won't change: a great family might turn a blind eye to some of your things, but it won't be without bottom lines; there will always be an invisible rope that locks him tight.

This was Little Sister's opportunity.

The two sisters understood seven or eight out of ten of what Second Brother-in-law said after a little thought.

The car drove forward for a distance, and Huang Zhiyun asked belatedly: "In that case, is it better for Little Sister to conceive a child now?"

Second Brother-in-law originally wanted to stop at the right point, but seeing his wife ask, he gave his own opinion after pondering for a while: "This child can be kept, and of course, the sooner the better.

But Little Sister shouldn't take the initiative to bring it up; she must let Li Heng have a change of heart one day and let Little Sister conceive voluntarily. Then this life will be stable."

These words spoke to Huang Zhaoyi's heart. She actually wanted a child very, very much; recently, she had even dreamt of herself giving birth to a child.

In her spare time, she would even go shopping, intentionally or unintentionally looking for clothes and shoes for infants.

However, she didn't buy baby clothes because she was afraid that if Li Heng saw them, he would have ideas and think she was pressuring him.

….

On the other side, once the two sisters left, Li Heng didn't rest either and followed them out of the building.

Passing by Wujiao Square, he suddenly slowed his pace, and Hu Ping and Chen Guifen actually appeared in his line of sight again.

The two seemed to have just come out of the hostel; as soon as they reached the road, the hands they were holding separated, and then they quickened their pace toward Fudan University.

Li Heng was full of confusion; was this really dating? Or did they just need to sleep together temporarily?

The two groups walked into the school gate one after another; he looked at Hu Ping and Chen Guifen, who had already separated and walked away, and also returned to Lushan Village.

Hmm?

Is today haunted?

The small buildings at 24, 25, 26, and 27 were all dark.

Could the female comrades be spending the night in the girls' dormitory?

Thinking this, Li Heng went home to clean himself up, and later went to dormitory 325.

Ever since his identity as a writer was exposed, he hadn't returned to the dormitory, but since he was going on a long journey tomorrow, he suddenly had a whim to return to the dormitory for a night.

Before he even entered, just as he reached the door, he heard the sound of an argument.

Li Guang and Hu Ping were arguing.

There was also a bunch of people beside them trying to mediate.

He saw Li Guang saying indignantly: "There is no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind; you think you hid it well? But you go to open a room with Chen Guifen every day this week, and even go to Wujiao Square to open a room, do you really take everyone for blind? Damn it! You're not clean yourself, and after Wei Xiaozhu and the others found out, you come to blame me; do I owe you? Damn it!"

It turned out that Hu Ping and Chen Guifen opening a room was found out by the girls in dormitory 107, and Li Guoyi asked Hu Ping upon returning: "Old Hu, today Sun Ye asked me, asking if you were really opening a room with Chen Guifen?"

With just that one sentence, Hu Ping exploded. Because the matter of him and Chen Guifen secretly opening a room was only known to Li Guang once.

Afterward, he even treated Li Guang to a meal and bought cigarettes to bribe Li Guang. The purpose was to keep it a secret.

So Hu Ping thought it was Li Guang who told on him.

Inside, they were arguing intensely, and the more they argued, the more intense it became, until they finally started fighting. Fortunately, the brothers were capable and held the two of them tightly.

Li Heng reached out and pushed the door open.

Hearing the movement at the door, the young men in dormitory 325 looked over collectively; seeing it was Grandpa Heng, Li Guang and Hu Ping, who had been fierce just a moment ago, immediately stopped, and the two who were pushing each other to fight separated instantly and returned to their respective beds.

Although everyone was divided into two small factions in the dormitory due to personality and family reasons.

Zhou Zhangming, Tang Dailing, and Zhang Bing were one faction. They all came from poor rural areas and had resonance on many things, usually eating and living together.

Li Guoyi, Hu Ping, and Li Guang were one faction. The three had good family backgrounds and were quite high-profile in eating and drinking; often the price of one piece of clothing was equivalent to several months of living expenses for Zhang Bing and the others.

Due to living habits, it was naturally impossible for the poor faction and the rich faction to eat together every day.

Just imagine, if you asked these young masters to eat steamed buns and radish, cabbage, and tofu every day, they wouldn't be used to it.

Well, actually, the three of Li Guang didn't mind treating Zhou Zhangming and the others, and were even very willing.

But Zhou Zhangming, Tang Dailing, and Zhang Bing also wanted face and self-esteem; one or two meals occasionally were fine, but eating and drinking behind them every day, what would that look like?

Those who knew would say the brothers had a good relationship.

Those who didn't know would think they were tag-alongs who had been taken in as lackeys.

Although it was inevitable to have friction after living together for a long time, everyone had a common tacit understanding: as long as Old Li returned, as long as Old Li spent the night in the dormitory that night, the two who had had a grudge would temporarily stop the fire, eat and drink together regardless of past grievances, chat and brag, and smoke together, which was very lively.

The purpose was to give Old Li enough face, make Old Li happy, and not let Old Li feel that this dormitory was a mess.

Li Guoyi reached out and took a pack of Huazi from Hu Ping's pocket, and distributed a cigarette to Li Heng cheaply:

"Grandpa Heng, don't mind it, Old Hu and Little Guang were just performing a Mongolian wrestling drama."

Li Heng took the cigarette happily, then lifted his left wrist to check the time: "It's just past 10 o'clock, Old Hu, Old Zhou, you two are the tallest, suitable for being laborers, let's go, let's go buy some beer and bring it up, let's have some fun tonight."

"Alright, I've long wanted to drink to my heart's content, these little brats have never let me drink to my heart's content," Zhou Zhangming walked toward the door happily.

Hu Ping also bit a cigarette and followed him out.

"I'm going too, I'm going too," Li Guoyi patted his butt with both hands and followed.
