Chapter 534: ..., ate something you shouldn't have, understand?

~35 min read 6,832 words

Aba is an autonomous prefecture under Sichuan Province, located in the northwestern part of Sichuan, on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It borders the Chengdu Plain and belongs to a typical plateau terrain, with an average altitude of over 3,000 meters, where vertical climate changes are very significant.

When the altitude rose to 2,500 meters, the group found a relatively flat place to rest for a while. First, to eat something to replenish their strength.

Second, to see if anyone had altitude sickness.

Third, to give the body a buffer time to gradually adapt to the constantly changing climate and temperature.

Taking advantage of the rest, Dr. Gu Yao popularized a simple piece of knowledge for everyone: in high-altitude areas, it is not recommended to take hot baths or wash your hair, and bathing must be done in a place with good air circulation.

Since everyone was not a local, their bodily functions could not adapt to the local natural environment in a short time, and the air in high-altitude areas is relatively thin. Bathing and washing hair would cause blood vessels to dilate, increase the burden on the heart, and easily lead to altitude sickness such as difficulty breathing and chest tightness.

Then Dr. Gu added: "Once we get up there, everyone should pay attention to drinking more water, avoiding strenuous exercise, resting more, and trying to drink little or no alcohol."

After listening, Li Heng was a bit dazed. He turned his head to look at Yu Shuheng, thinking that this teacher usually had a bit of a clean-freak habit; wouldn't this be the death of her?

Actually, he was fine. After all, he had grown up in high-altitude mountain areas like the Xuefeng Mountains since he was a child. The altitude sickness that others feared simply didn't exist for him.

As if she had read his eyes, Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly.

Li Heng whispered: "The living conditions are quite arduous. Can you adapt, Teacher? How about we just go back to Shanghai? Don't follow me up there to suffer."

Yu Shuheng thought for a moment and said: "Let's see how it goes. If I really can't adapt, it won't be too late for me to leave early."

Seeing that she had her own plans, Li Heng didn't try to persuade her further after a few words.

After resting for about half an hour, the group continued their journey. At around 7:00 PM, they finally reached their destination, the seat of the Aba Prefecture government, Ma'erkang Town.

Ma'erkang Town in this era was far more backward than he had imagined. There were no high-rise buildings, and the night lights were not prosperous. The place Zeng Yun found for them to stay was not far from the opposite side of the prefecture government, a small 3-story building.

Honestly speaking, although it was called the prefecture government, its scale was not much different from a small county town in Xiangnan, and it might not even be as prosperous as a small county town in Xiangnan in this era.

However, the few Miyaluo red-leaf trees in the courtyard made Li Heng observe them for a long time with a flashlight.

Li Heng said to Yu Laoshi beside him: "The housing conditions are simple, but now with these few trees, it actually looks quite layered."

It was already autumn, and the leaves were as red as fire. Yu Shuheng was also quite happy: "When it gets light, let's take a picture together."

"Eh, deal." Li Heng nodded in agreement.

The house was of that typical old-fashioned tube-apartment structure. Li Heng and Yu Shuheng lived on the second floor.

Xu Suyun and Chief Editor Liao also lived on the second floor.

The rest of the people stayed on the first floor.

What surprised everyone a bit was that Xu Suyun, who didn't talk much along the way, didn't know when she had started chatting with Chief Editor Liao.

After putting down their luggage and washing up thoroughly, Li Heng asked Chief Editor Liao: "Senior Brother, how many days do you plan to stay here?"

Chief Editor Liao said: "About 3 to 4 days."

Then he asked: "Are you okay?"

Li Heng shook his head: "With this altitude, what could be wrong? If it weren't for you all constantly caring and asking, I would feel there's no big difference from my hometown. The only change is that it's a bit cold; autumn is just like winter."

After chatting for a while, the two entered the study, which was piled with various materials and local county chronicles. This was Zeng Yun's harvest from arriving half a month early, prepared for him in advance.

Just as he was engrossed in flipping through the materials, Yu Shuheng, who had finished washing up, walked in. She came to his side and asked: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Li Heng didn't even turn his head: "Quite good, the materials are more complete than I imagined."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng was happy for him. She didn't disturb him further and sat down on a chair to read the newspaper.

Half an hour later, when everyone was packed and ready, the group entered a restaurant next door.

At this hour, the restaurant owner wouldn't have been open for business. But they couldn't resist Zeng Yun using money to pave the way in advance. Seeing the large amount of money, the owner happily prepared a table full of specialty dishes, plus a charcoal copper hot pot, eating authentic goat meat.

The owner enthusiastically asked: "Do you all want to drink some alcohol? Local specialty highland barley wine."

No one dared to agree, only because Dr. Gu Yao had already given instructions.

The table full of specialty dishes was actually mostly game meat, and the cured meat tasted very good. Li Heng had been rushing all day and hadn't eaten a proper meal to save time, so he was starving. He ate three big bowls of rice in one go before stopping, smoking and chatting with Chief Editor Liao next to him.

Li Heng asked: "Where is Senior Brother's college classmate? Is it far from here?"

Chief Editor Liao said: "Not far, he is the principal at the Normal College."

Li Heng said: "He's doing quite well. Tomorrow I'll go over with you to take a look, get to know the place; who knows, maybe one day I'll have something to ask of him."

Chief Editor Liao didn't refuse, or rather, he had that intention himself. After all, coming all the way to Aba was to understand the local customs and traditions.

And to understand the local customs and traditions, one naturally has to find local people.

After eating, the exhausted group all went to rest, only Li Heng couldn't sleep and slipped back into the study.

Around 11:30 PM, Yu Shuheng, who had come out of Xu Suyun's room, walked into the study. She originally wanted to urge him to sleep, but seeing someone so engrossed in books that he couldn't extricate himself, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, gently closed the study door, and quietly accompanied him on the side.

Another two hours or so passed like this. Li Heng, feeling his feet a bit cold, finally put down the book and turned to look at Yu Laoshi.

At one glance, he smiled.

Whoa! Yu Laoshi had actually fallen asleep in the chair, with the book open on her chest. Her peaceful appearance was very tasteful.

His gaze lingered on her for a long time, and just as he got up to wake her, she woke up on her own.

Yu Laoshi slowly opened her eyes, stared at his eyes, and asked softly: "Little boy, am I good to look at?"

"I like the scholarly scent on you; it's very profound." Li Heng rarely said a truthful word.

The two stared at each other for a long time. In the quiet atmosphere, Yu Shuheng suddenly stretched out her hands to wrap around his neck, leaned over, and took the initiative to kiss the corner of his mouth: "Come to me."

"Ah?" Li Heng let out an 'ah', not moving, thinking he had misheard.

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly: "Carry me to the bed."

Li Heng let out another 'ah'.

The smile on Yu Shuheng's face grew wider, and she didn't tease him anymore: "Carry me to the bedroom."

"Okay." This time Li Heng wasn't slow. He lowered his body, picked her up horizontally, and headed toward the bedroom.

But just as they left the study, Li Heng stopped his steps.

Yu Shuheng turned her head to look along his line of sight, and her gaze happened to bump right into Xu Suyun, who was preparing to go to the bathroom.

Although Xu Suyun had long noticed that her best friend had something strange going on with Li Heng, when she saw the two in such an ambiguous posture with her own eyes, her brain still didn't react, and her eyes were blank.

After a "standoff" across the air for a while, Yu Shuheng smiled faintly at her friend.

Xu Suyun came back to her senses, turned around, and entered the bathroom.

Seeing this, Li Heng took a step, carried Yu Laoshi to the bedroom, and placed her flat on the bed.

"Chat with me for a while." Seeing him about to leave, Yu Shuheng hugged his neck and had no intention of letting go.

"It's this late, still not resting?" Li Heng asked.

Yu Shuheng didn't make a sound, but she never had any intention of letting go of him.

With no other choice, Li Heng used his foot to close the bedroom door, then took off his shoes and got on the bed.

"Little boy, come to me." Yu Shuheng felt that he was a bit reserved, and the playfulness that had just been extinguished suddenly flared up.

Li Heng didn't pay attention at first, lying flat on his side beside her, quietly staring at the ceiling. But later, as a certain indescribable atmosphere enveloped the entire bedroom, he gradually became a bit itchy and restless. Finally, in a fit of absent-mindedness, he rolled over and got on top of her.

Regarding his actions, Yu Shuheng wasn't surprised at all, nor did she resist. Instead, she wrapped her hands around his neck again and quietly sized up the face of the little man who was close at hand.

Crawling on top of her, Li Heng didn't make any further moves, just propped his hands on the bed and silently stared at her.

For a time, neither of them spoke, very much enjoying this tranquility, and neither was willing to break it.

As time passed, the breathing of the two slowly became rapid, and the two bodies also became more inclusive in silence, intimately embracing each other.

At one moment, Li Heng lowered his head, wanting to kiss her.

Yu Shuheng tilted her head slightly, brushing past his lips, letting him take her earlobe into his mouth.

After biting the fleshy earlobe for a while, Li Heng deliberately left a few sharp tooth marks on the earlobe to express his dissatisfaction.

Yu Shuheng seemed to feel the depression in his heart, smiling and letting him bite her earlobe, letting him vent, only hugging him tighter with her hands.

In such an ambiguous atmosphere, Li Heng didn't ask her why she dodged, and she didn't explain why she avoided the kiss. The two pressed face to face, bodies rubbing against bodies, step by step sinking into the sea of desire.

For a split second, Yu Shuheng's body suddenly stiffened, her ten toes curled and tightly hooked, and her right hand lightly patted his shoulder.

She didn't say a word.

Li Heng, as a veteran in the field, immediately understood and cooperated to help her.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and Yu Shuheng calmed down. Her blurred eyes slowly opened, her dark pupils reflecting his shadow, full of affection.

She traced his lips with her finger, from left to right, then from right to left, and after a long time, she spoke: "Little man, do you know why Teacher doesn't kiss you? Why I don't let you take off your clothes?"

Li Heng said casually: "Because you are a teacher."

Yu Shuheng tacitly agreed, but obviously this wasn't the main reason.

She said: "I hope that one day, you are willing to be with me, not because your body is controlling your brain."

Obviously, she wanted his heart, not for him to dominate her in desire.

Li Heng was silent, then reached out and hugged her tightly.

The two embraced each other, and there were no more strange sounds in the bedroom.

About 20 minutes later, she let go of him: "Sleep, you still have to go to the Normal University with Chief Editor Liao tomorrow, don't fail to get up."

"Eh, okay." Li Heng got off her, lying flat on the side.

After waiting for a while, Yu Shuheng asked: "Aren't you going back to your own bedroom?"

Li Heng stretched: "Don't want to move anymore."

Yu Shuheng smiled, then sat up halfway, got off the bed, and went to the bathroom.

That night, Li Heng waited and waited, until he fell asleep, but he never waited for Yu Laoshi.

That night, Yu Shuheng went to sleep in his room.

The two swapped rooms.

But lying on his bed, she couldn't sleep no matter what, tossing and turning, her mind full of his figure.

Having reached this point, she wasn't in a hurry anymore. Since she couldn't be his first woman, she wasn't in a hurry to become his woman.

Suddenly, she realized that she preferred to keep this hazy, elusive feeling with him.

She preferred to keep a certain distance and silently accompany him, accompanying him through the storms.

That night was very quiet, but she didn't close her eyes all night, even sitting halfway on the head of the bed in the second half of the night, passing the time by flipping through books.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Yu Shuheng got off the bed, took her camera, and ran to the balcony outside, happily taking pictures of the Miyaluo red-leaf trees.

Xu Suyun didn't know when she appeared behind her. After her best friend finished taking a few photos from different angles, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you dating Li Heng?"

Yu Shuheng denied: "No."

Xu Suyun was suspicious: "It was like that last night, and you still refuse to admit it? Do you take me for a fool?"

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, her lens continuing to aim at the Miyaluo red leaves, and said warmly: "I don't take you for a fool, it's just my unilateral affection."

Xu Suyun was stunned, her eyes full of shock and astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief.

After a long while, she recovered from the shock and spoke again: "Say what you just said one more time."

Yu Shuheng looked back: "Didn't you hear it?"

Xu Suyun said: "I'm afraid my ears were wrong."

Yu Shuheng said: "They weren't."

Xu Suyun stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her: "To be as beautiful as you, to have a temperament as good as yours, to have a family as powerful as yours, and you still have unrequited love? Isn't it him crying and shouting, rushing to climb onto you?"

Yu Shuheng curled her lips: "You're wrong."

Xu Suyun grabbed the railing with both hands: "I'm wrong?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Wrong to the point of absurdity."

Xu Suyun was stunned, asking after a long time: "When did it start?"

Yu Shuheng looked at the trees full of red leaves in the courtyard: "I don't know."

Xu Suyun said: "Love doesn't know where it starts, but it goes deep?"

Yu Shuheng tacitly agreed.

Accompanying her to watch the red leaves for a while, Xu Suyun sighed: "It's really fate playing tricks on people. So many men in the circle admire you, so many families have their eyes on you, yet none of them have caught your eye, but you happened to fall in love with a man 7 years younger."

Later, she sighed again, saying slowly: "And he is your student, and he is 7 years younger than you. This is really hard for people to imagine. If those men who admire you knew about this situation, they would probably go crazy."

Yu Shuheng replied indifferently: "Things in the world are unpredictable."

Xu Suyun turned her head: "I feel you are very much enjoying this relationship."

Yu Shuheng didn't deny it this time.

Xu Suyun was curious: "Why is it unrequited love? You can't even handle him? By logic, shouldn't he go crazy in love with you as soon as you stand by his side?"

Yu Shuheng said: "If only that were the case."

Xu Suyun recalled: "Since I've known you, haven't those men all been like that?"

Yu Shuheng said: "He is different from those people."

Xu Suyun asked: "How is he different?"

Yu Shuheng put down her camera and looked into the distance: "He has someone in his heart."

Xu Suyun increased her volume a bit and asked: "Someone? Who?"

Two names flashed through Yu Shuheng's mind: Song Yu and Zhou Shihe.

Not waiting for a reply, Xu Suyun was filled with a thick sense of gossip, relentlessly pursuing: "Why would he ignore a great beauty like you to love someone else? I don't quite believe it."

Under her best friend's constant pressing, Yu Shuheng finally said a name unhurriedly: "Zhou Shihe."

She didn't say Song Yu because her best friend didn't know Song Yu.

She was too lazy to waste her breath explaining.

The name Zhou Shihe seemed to have magic. Hearing the three words "Zhou Shihe", Xu Suyun froze in place, and it was a long time before she said: "No wonder. If it's her, I can accept it."

Yu Shuheng narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura flashing: "What do you mean?"

Xu Suyun was dumbfounded: "Don't be so competitive. Zhou Shihe's frail Lin Daiyu temperament is born to be a man's nemesis. I don't think many men wouldn't be moved by her, it's just a matter of whether they dare or not."

Recalling Zhou Shihe's situation at Fudan, Yu Shuheng acknowledged this: "Indeed, not many boys dare to approach her openly. On the surface, those little kings at Fudan are more popular than her, and they probably receive more love letters."

Xu Suyun said: "Those are just love letters. If there were really a chance to marry Zhou Shihe, I believe most men would go crazy for her."

Hearing the word "marry", the lens in Yu Shuheng's heart automatically switched to Song Yu, another woman with infinite charm like Zhou Shihe. That little man kept saying he wanted to marry the other party, which really left her with no way to handle it in the short term.

Xu Suyun asked: "Is Li Heng dating Zhou Shihe now?"

Yu Shuheng said: "No."

Xu Suyun understood: "Also. If he were dating a daughter of the Zhou family, it would be impossible for you to come to Aba."

Yu Shuheng was a bit stifled, but didn't refute, because these words were very reasonable. What she could do, the Zhou family could also do.

Xu Suyun asked: "Then why did you say he has Zhou Shihe in his heart? Is he pursuing her?"

Yu Shuheng said: "He's not pursuing her either."

Xu Suyun: "???"

She was full of question marks.

Yu Shuheng pondered: "He probably has the intention, but hasn't taken action."

Xu Suyun said: "What do you mean, I don't understand."

Yu Shuheng answered the question with another: "Zhou Shihe is not that easy to pursue, he might not be able to pursue her."

Xu Suyun was surprised: "Setting aside family background, a man like Li Heng is a rarity among men, with both talent and looks. Is Zhou Shihe's standard that high? Or does the other party want to find someone with a matching family background?"

Yu Shuheng pondered for a while and shook her head.

Xu Suyun asked: "Why shake your head?"

Yu Shuheng said slowly: "I consider myself to have a decent eye for people, but I have never been able to see through her. Zhou Shihe's thoughts are quite deep."

Xu Suyun analyzed: "Draped in a touching appearance, but with deep thoughts, this is a terrible rival, not easy to deal with."

Yu Shuheng had always regarded the other party as her number one potential opponent.

As for the current number one opponent, of course, it was Song Yu.

Xu Suyun said: "But then again, Zhou Shihe not looking down on Li Heng is a good thing for you."

Yu Shuheng didn't give a direct answer to the question, but said: "They are still young."

They referred to Li Heng and Zhou Shihe.

The two are young, the future has great variables, everything is unknown.

She certainly hoped that Zhou Shihe would always maintain her current appearance and not give any response to Li Heng's intense feelings.

Xu Suyun thought of something, turned around, and lowered her voice to ask: "You didn't have a relationship last night?"

Yu Shuheng said: "No."

Xu Suyun raised her eyebrows: "He held you like that, and you didn't have a relationship? Is he even a man?"

Yu Shuheng said meaningfully: "He is more of a man than anyone. It's just that he doesn't dare."

More of a man than anyone?

She believed it!

Because Xu Suyun remembered a sentence Jiao Sect once said: Dragon Whip! If one could have a night of joy with him, it should be happy to death!

Xu Suyun guessed: "He is wary of your status?"

Yu Shuheng said 'um'.

Xu Suyun worried for her best friend: "Then what will you do? Zhou Shihe still has more than two years before graduating from university, and it will take more than two years before she disappears from his sight. Will you just keep waiting?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I need time now."

Hearing this, Xu Suyun understood a bit, understanding that her best friend wanted to use time to subtly influence him, wanting his heart, to replace the person in his heart.

Afraid that she would get to the bottom of it, Yu Shuheng changed the subject: "I saw you and Chief Editor Liao talking and chatting yesterday, are you in a better mood?" Xu Suyun said: "Brother Liao is a very considerate person."

Yu Shuheng's eyes showed strangeness: "Brother Liao?"

Xu Suyun spread her hands: "Then what should I call him? Uncle Liao?"

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly: "Calling him Brother Liao is not impossible. But I'll remind you, put away your temptation as a newlywed young woman. He is 50, don't let him have a second spring, that would be a disaster."

Xu Suyun said: "If you say that, then I'll leave today."

Yu Shuheng didn't try to keep her at all: "As you wish."

Xu Suyun was angry: "Marrying Axiang, I was forced by family pressure, not voluntarily, we have no emotional foundation. I want to find my own feelings in the future."

Axiang was her dead newlywed husband.

Yu Shuheng teased: "Then you can't find Chief Editor Liao either."

Xu Suyun was speechless, saying after a while: "Normal friends getting along, it gets distorted when it reaches you."

At this time, Chief Editor Liao came over, and the two women stopped talking at the right time.

Chief Editor Liao asked Yu Laoshi: "Junior Brother hasn't woken up yet?"

"He read books until late last night, he's still catching up on sleep."

Yu Shuheng responded and asked: "Are we going to the Normal University?"

Chief Editor Liao checked his watch: "No rush, let's wait until he wakes up."

Saying this, Chief Editor Liao looked at Xu Suyun and went downstairs.

Yu Shuheng's deep eyes flashed, and she teased: "You should leave today, don't let the old tree sprout."

Facing her best friend's teasing, Xu Suyun was very powerless, sighing: "Sure enough, it's different with the nourishment of love. You were meticulous in the past, when were you ever this naughty?"

Yu Shuheng smiled lazily, raised her camera again, found the angle, and clicked a few times.

At 8:20 AM, Li Heng opened his eyes.

He came out of the bedroom and saw Yu Laoshi on the sofa in the living room at first glance.

He walked over and asked: "Teacher, just you alone? Where are the others?"

Yu Shuheng put down the newspaper she had just bought today: "They are strolling on the street outside, are you hungry?"

"A little hungry." Li Heng said.

Yu Shuheng instructed: "You go wash up first, I'll take you to eat later."

"Okay." Li Heng entered the bathroom.

Looking at his back, Yu Shuheng couldn't help but think of that scene last night, that scene where he was on top of her, that scene where her whole body was full of strange beauty.

Just as Suyun said, this little boy is really her nemesis. Even though she knows he is very unfaithful, she is willing to be happy for him.

At the breakfast shop, seeing that many people had a bowl of butter tea in front of them, Li Heng and Yu Shuheng, full of curiosity, also ordered a bowl. As a result, Yu Laoshi didn't swallow a single mouthful, but spat it out without a trace.

Li Heng asked: "Not used to drinking it?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Salty, and there's a mutton smell, I can't stand it."

Li Heng looked at her with questioning eyes: "Teacher, is something wrong with your sense of taste?"

Yu Shuheng looked confused.

Li Heng told her with actions, lowering his head to drink a mouthful of butter tea, then another, then another, and then another, finally smacking his lips: "Quite good, the aftertaste is sweet, much more kick than those precious tea leaves of yours."

Yu Shuheng didn't believe it.

Li Heng instigated: "If you don't believe it, try another mouthful."

Staring at the butter tea in the bowl, Yu Shuheng pondered for a while, then held the bowl with both hands and tasted another mouthful, then stared at him with a strange look. After a long while, she pursed her lips, got up, and went outside.

Li Heng grinned, having a little happiness of a trick succeeding.

Half a minute later, she came back, sat down, and threatened in a low voice: "Little boy, if you dare to lie to me again, I will go see Song Yu and have a showdown with her."

Li Heng: "..."

Eating breakfast, the two chatted intermittently. Li Heng's attention was all on the small shop, listening to other diners chattering.

It's just a pity, they were all speaking the local dialect, and he listened for a long time without understanding a few sentences.

Leaving the breakfast shop, Yu Shuheng told him: "By the way, the day before yesterday in Beijing, I heard about something."

Li Heng asked: "What is it?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Because of your sharp words in the newspaper half a month ago, Old Wang from Beijing hid abroad."

Li Heng stopped his steps: "Is this fleeing because he couldn't stand the gossip?"

Yu Shuheng nodded with a smile: "Pretty much."

Facing each other, Li Heng said happily: "This is called retribution!"

Yu Shuheng said another thing: "Liu Bei brought me a message this morning, I think you'll like to hear it."

Li Heng was expectant: "What good news?"

Yu Shuheng said: "The pure music album topped the British album chart this week."

Li Heng was overjoyed: "Really?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Absolutely true."

Later she said: "Not only that, this album has also entered the top 20 of the American Billboard album chart and is continuing to exert its strength."

Hearing this, Li Heng excitedly picked her up: "Too powerful! Too promising! Too face-saving!"

Yu Shuheng, half in the air, looked down at him and smiled, involuntarily stroking his left cheek, very happy.

The two's movements were a bit big, and Chief Editor Liao and Xu Suyun, who were walking side by side in front, couldn't help but look back.

Chief Editor Liao said: "Looks like there will be wedding wine to drink in the future."

Xu Suyun then spoke: "Listening to Shuheng, Li Heng loves that Zhou Shihe?"

Zhou Shihe?

Chief Editor Liao slandered in his heart, but wasn't surprised at all, thinking at the same time: I'm afraid there isn't just one Zhou Shihe! Hey! My junior brother comes from a famous family.

However, regarding Li Heng's reputation, Chief Editor Liao naturally had a sense of propriety and naturally wouldn't shake out his junior brother's rich love history.

Zeng Yun and Liu Bei were used to this and had no reaction on their faces.

It was the newcomers Liu Ying and Dr. Gu Yao who were particularly confused. Is the relationship between teacher and student so intimate?

Liu Ying scanned Zeng Yun and Liu Bei, then re-evaluated Li Heng's weight, and must treat him as a son-in-law in the future.

Gu Yao was a middle-aged woman. She had no subordinate relationship with the Yu family. This time she followed to Aba purely because Yu Laoshi paid a lot. Now, in the eyes she looked at Li Heng and Yu Shuheng, there was more interest.

Seeing that the people around were looking at the two of them, Li Heng calmly put down the person in his hands, and then walked generously with Yu Laoshi.

Yu Laoshi looked at him with a smile and followed him elegantly by his side.

After walking 200 meters, Yu Shuheng said: "The album is selling better and better overseas, currently earning 850,000 pounds. When will I give it to you?"

Li Heng opened his mouth: "So much?"

Yu Shuheng said: "There will be continuous income in the future."

Li Heng asked: "What is the exchange rate between the pound and the renminbi recently?"

Yu Shuheng knew it like the back of her hand: "It's maintained at around 14."

Li Heng asked: "Pre-tax? Or post-tax?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Afraid of trouble for you, I've already paid the tax for you, this is post-tax."

Li Heng calculated mentally, 85 times 14, equals 11.9 million renminbi!

Hearing 850,000 pounds at first, he could barely stay calm!

But this 11.9 million renminbi, he immediately couldn't stay calm! He reached out his hand wanting to pick her up again, but after thinking of something, he automatically retracted it.

Damn it, this isn't small-scale stuff!

This is real gold and silver, 11.9 million!

Whoo-whoo! According to the current price level, it suddenly exceeded the wealth he had accumulated in his entire life in his previous life, and his head was dizzy.

Damn it, earning foreign pounds is still the most refreshing!

But thinking of the gold content of this pure music album, he was relieved again.

It's just that he was reborn, otherwise who would have an album where every song is a world-class immortal classic?

Who would dare to be so wasteful?

Only he dared to be so prodigal.

Taking a long time to digest this news, Li Heng asked smugly: "Earning so much foreign exchange for the country, is there a reward?"

Yu Shuheng just looked at him and smiled, not saying a word.

Taking two deep breaths, Li Heng calmed his mood and asked: "Teacher, this is the credit of the three of us, how much do you think should be distributed to classmate Shihe?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "Do you really want to distribute it?"

Li Heng said: "A person shouldn't have too ugly an appearance when eating; only by giving can one gain."

Yu Shuheng pondered and said: "How about 2 million renminbi?"

Li Heng understood clearly in his heart, immediately figuring out how the teacher had distributed it: 11.9 million, first deduct half of the creative fees for Li Heng.

Then the remaining 5.95 million divided by 3, which is 1.98 million, approximately equal to 2 million.

Li Heng had no bottom in his heart: "I don't know much about the distribution in this area, will it be a bit less?"

Yu Shuheng said: "She might not necessarily want so much."

Li Heng said: "Whether she wants it or not is her business, whether I give it or not is my business, this is a matter of principle."

Hearing the word "principle", Yu Shuheng looked at him with appreciative eyes several times and said with a smile: "For her, this album has earned her a great reputation, which is the most important thing. As for money, it is secondary, 2 million should be enough."

Li Heng pondered for a while and agreed to this distribution plan: "Okay, Teacher, what about yours?"

Yu Shuheng crossed her arms and said playfully: "Mine? I don't want it, put it with you as a dowry."

Li Heng was numb, speechless.

Didn't know how to respond to this.

Seeing his constipated expression, Yu Shuheng smiled clearly: "I'm the same as Shihe, if you dare to say one more word, it will be a dowry."

"Eh, deal." Li Heng said happily.

Yu Shuheng said: "The money from domestic album sales is not too much compared to abroad, I haven't arranged for anyone to settle it yet, let's talk about it after returning from Aba."

"Okay." Li Heng responded.

Compared to the 7.9 million abroad, Li Heng didn't take the domestic part to heart too much, thinking that after the first royalty payment for "White Deer Plain" comes in, will he soon be a multi-millionaire?

Not counting Anta Shoes, not counting McCormick Company, not counting New Future Tutoring School, he already has 10 million lying in the bank!

Damn it!

10 million is a critical point, it's a qualitative change, such a large sum of money.

He felt beautiful in his heart, incomparably excited.

Returning to where they lived, Yu Shuheng followed him into the study.

As soon as the door closed, she automatically stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Li Heng was speechless, then understood and reached out to pick her up.

Yu Shuheng asked meaningfully: "Earlier on the street, you clearly wanted to hold me a second time, why did you pull your hand back?"

Li Heng's eyelids jumped: "Too high-profile, Sister Liu is now a single-parent family, don't provoke people's dislike."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng laughed out loud, hugging his head in her arms: "I'll forgive you this time."

But as she hugged him, she felt something was wrong. After a while, she patted the back of his head with her right hand and muttered strangely: "You really dare to use your mouth?"

Seeing him not listening, Yu Shuheng's heart heaved fiercely, her feet struggled to land, her eyes staring dead at his lips.

At this moment, on his lips, there were still traces of black cotton sweater threads.

Staring at each other without a word for a long time, Yu Shuheng finally broke down a bit, reached out to grab his collar and asked: "How does it feel?"

Li Heng was still savoring the gentleness just now, and in a fit of absent-mindedness, he said: "Good."

Yu Shuheng narrowed her eyes into a slit: "Compared to Xiao Han's?"

Li Heng woke up instantly, then turned and fled, fleeing in a panic.

Looking at the figure running away in a panic, Yu Shuheng looked down at her chest, then touched her clothes with her right hand, finding some moisture.

Ten minutes later, Yu Shuheng found Li Heng and handed him a folded note.

Li Heng didn't know why, opened it, and saw it written: New clothes velvet thread damaged, compensation 1000, deducted from your album.

Li Heng put away the note and immediately chased after her to ask: "Teacher, is your clothes made of gold, so expensive?"

Yu Shuheng turned her head and asked expressionlessly: "Is it just about the clothes?"

Li Heng mumbled, looking at the sky with both eyes.

Her gaze went up and down on him, Yu Shuheng curled her lips, went downstairs, and left.

Li Heng didn't follow downstairs, but returned to the study and started writing letters.

Writing 4 letters. Respectively to Xiao Han, Song Yu, Zijin, and Mai Sui.

Telling them that he arrived safely in Aba, briefly talking about his feelings on the first day here, and at the same time greeting them.

Writing these letters was mainly to maintain interaction with them, to share his life bits and pieces with them, and not let them worry about him.

4 letters, he wrote extremely seriously, according to each person, the wording basically didn't repeat, and it took a lot of effort to complete.

He originally wanted to write a letter to the Great Qingyi, but thinking of Yu Laoshi being there, thinking of the risk of an explosion, thinking of Yu Laoshi and Huang Zhaoyi not getting along, he had to extinguish this thought.

Thinking that when there is a chance, it is better to call the Great Qingyi directly.

When Li Heng was writing the letter, Yu Shuheng was on the phone with her family.

Talking to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin's first sentence was: "How is Aba?"

Yu Shuheng said her true feelings: "More backward than I imagined, but the scenery is very good."

Shen Xin's second sentence asked: "Accompanying him from thousands of miles away, do you have any certainty of taking him down this time?"

Yu Shuheng was in a very good mood today, so she asked one more question than usual: "What standard is called taking him down?"

Shen Xin asked bluntly: "Did you sleep in the same bed with him last night?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Mom, this is privacy."

Shen Xin's eyes lit up: "Meaning you were in the same bed?"

Since she was guessed, Yu Shuheng didn't deny it: "Stayed for a little while."

Shen Xin asked: "He didn't spend the night with you?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Each slept in a room."

Shen Xin asked: "Then tell me, did you have a relationship last night?"

Yu Shuheng spat out two words unhurriedly: "No."

Shen Xin hated her for not being successful, and spat out two words in a bad tone: "Useless!"

After the two words "Useless", a busy signal came from the receiver. Later, Yu Shuheng called again, but couldn't get through.

Yu Shuheng held the receiver and called again, still couldn't get through.

The business hadn't been discussed yet, and her own mother refused to answer the phone. She stood in the wind a bit messy.

After finishing the letter, Li Heng searched the second floor, didn't find Yu Laoshi, so he asked Zeng Yun on the first floor: "Where is Yu Laoshi?"

Zeng Yun said: "Went outside."

Hearing this, Li Heng said: "Sister Zeng, take me to the post office, I want to mail a letter."

Zeng Yun quickly glanced at the four letters in his hand and immediately understood. These were sent to four confidantes. She sometimes couldn't figure out why Miss Yu could be so generous to him?

On the way to the post office, Li Heng asked: "Did my Senior Brother and Sister Suyun go out to play?"

Zeng Yun said: "Yes. Seeing you were busy, Mr. Liao asked me to bring you a message, around 2 PM, go to the Normal University together."

"Thank you." Li Heng nodded, keeping it in his heart.

Running to the post office to mail the letters, Li Heng didn't go home immediately, but walked casually in the streets and alleys, walking and stopping, observing local customs, and feeling the local Aba culture at close range.

It's just a pity, he doesn't know the local language, communicating in Mandarin, always feeling something is missing.

Walking on the road, Li Heng asked Zeng Yun a question leisurely: "Sister Zeng, what year was the Aba Tusi system abolished?"

Didn't expect Zeng Yun to really know: "1951."

Li Heng looked at her and gave a thumbs up: "Did you learn it from a book?"

Zeng Yun said: "When bored, I flipped through some county chronicles."

Li Heng asked another question with interest: "Then in the Qing Dynasty, the Tusi in the Aba area, were they generally what rank of official?"

Zeng Yun narrated: "When the Qing Emperor conferred titles, he would issue a fifth-rank official seal and a map. Recorded in the book, during the Ming Republic period, there were still Tusi taking these two things to the Sichuan Military Government to complain."

Li Heng praised: "Sister Zeng, your coming a month early wasn't in vain."

Zeng Yun said: "Regarding collecting those materials, Miss Yu had detailed instructions in advance."

She attributed the credit to Miss Yu.
