Chapter 536: ..., Hengyuan

For a time, they were stuck there, the atmosphere was very passive.

Don't know how long passed, Li Heng half-turned, reached out and hugged Yu Shuheng, his face pressed against her face. But there were no words in his mouth, nor any explanation.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuheng didn't resist, but sighed, slowly closing her eyes, her whole plump body leaning against his arms without moving.

Rubbing face to face for a while, Li Heng waited for a long time without waiting for her to ask, so he deliberately rebelled and asked: "Don't you want an explanation?"

Yu Shuheng's long eyelashes trembled, still not opening her eyes, and after a while she said softly: "I still have a relatively good understanding of the temperament of my future husband."

A "future husband" clearly expressed her demands.

At the same time, it means that since things have reached this point, it makes no sense to make things difficult for him.

Rather than making him difficult and making herself painful, she might as well choose to be inclusive generously.

Li Heng's heart moved, hugging her tighter.

Seeing her being so tolerant of himself, after a long time, Li Heng, who had weighed the pros and cons, changed his mind and used simple words to tell the ins and outs of his relationship with Huang Zhaoyi.

He was concise and to the point, taking about a minute to tell the story.

After listening, Yu Shuheng slowly opened her eyes, staring at his eyes with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Little man, you should thank Liu Yue for getting such a great beauty."

Staring at each other, Li Heng didn't say anything, leaning over to kiss her.

But was quickly dodged by her.

She straightened up from his arms and smiled elegantly: "I am your college teacher, pay attention."

Saying this, she opened the bag she was carrying, took out a stack of documents from it, and placed it in front of him, "This is the financial company share agreement."

Seeing this agreement, Li Heng felt half-relieved in his heart, picked up the document, and read it carefully.

Ten minutes later, he picked up the pen on the table, signed his name in the relevant place, and opened the red seal box, pressing his thumbprint.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng had no nonsense, and followed by signing and pressing the seal.

Up to this point, a financial investment company where he held 51% of the shares, Yu Laoshi held 37% of the shares, and the old Fu couple held 12% of the shares was initially established.

After the red seal dried, she asked for his opinion: "Teacher Fu is proficient in finance and mathematics, and has had rich work experience in the United States. How about Teacher Fu serving as the general manager of the company?"

For the fake Daoist, Li Heng naturally had no opinion: "Okay."

Then she continued: "Now the company is in its infancy, Teacher temporarily serves as the executive director. When the company's scale expands in the future, when you are interested, we will establish a board of directors, and you will serve as the chairman."

Li Heng nodded: "Okay."

Then he asked curiously: "Is Old Fu so rich?"

Although 12% of the shares is only a small part, even excluding technical shares, the money to be paid is not a small amount.

Yu Shuheng explained: "Old Fu once earned some money in the United States, about 350,000 US dollars. Siya opened a piano training institution, and she and her sister opened a shop to do business, also accumulating some. The shortfall is borrowed from me."

Opening this company, besides helping Li Heng realize his ambition, she also had the intention of helping her best friend's family.

Li Heng asked: "When does Old Fu take office?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Now Wall Street is keeping a close eye on Japan, and unexpected things may happen at any time. In order to seize the opportunity, he has already submitted his resignation to the school and plans to go to Tokyo next month."

Li Heng recalled that the node of the Japanese stock market crash was still a long time away, but preparing now was undoubtedly a very correct decision.

He asked: "After the fake Daoist resigns, won't the No. 24 small building be vacated?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Should be."

Next, the two discussed various matters of the financial investment company, including personnel, finance, management personnel, and future three-year plans, etc.

Finally, Yu Shuheng asked: "How about calling the company Hengyuan Investment?"

The "Heng" in Hengyuan Investment is taken from the names of the two.

Li Heng, Yu Shuheng, both have the character "Heng".

And "Hengyuan" means the two will be long-lasting, and also means the company will be prosperous. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

The company name is simple and unadorned, but contains significant meaning. Li Heng revealed his clean and tidy teeth, smiling brightly: "Teacher has heart."

Seeing him satisfied, Yu Shuheng handed the pen to him again, letting him fill in the company name on the agreement, which was the last blank space.

After writing, she blew on the handwriting with her mouth, then closed it meticulously and put it into her bag.

After doing all this, Yu Shuheng, in a good mood, stretched her right hand in front of him, "Let's go for a stroll."

"Eh, okay."

Li Heng understood, grabbed her palm, pulled her up, and then the two left the residence one after another, strolling in Ma'erkang Town.

Buying snacks, buying daily necessities, buying dried wild goods, buying handicrafts, etc.

The two had a tacit understanding. In the following days, neither mentioned the Great Qingyi, and neither went to add trouble to the other.

"Going to the counties and towns below tomorrow, let's go drink a bowl of butter tea again." Passing by the breakfast shop where they ate on the first day, Yu Shuheng stopped and said.

Li Heng asked: "Teacher isn't used to drinking it?"

Yu Shuheng walked with elegant steps, walking toward the shop: "I want to try again."

Both understood that she wasn't drinking butter tea, but this experience, and the time they spent together.

So, this time Yu Shuheng didn't show a look of disgust, enduring the mutton smell and drinking a bowl.

She wanted to make the memories of Ma'erkang Town more layered and impressive through the taste of butter tea.

This bowl of butter tea is like her love. Although the little man has various shortcomings, she is still willing to sink into it, and try to persuade herself to accept the reality that has already happened.

She is changing, transforming for this man who occupies her body and mind.

After drinking the butter tea, the two smiled at each other and left the shop contentedly.

When returning to the room, Li Heng suddenly protested: "Teacher, why always refuse my kiss? It's been three times."

Yu Shuheng in front smiled happily, stretched, and didn't look back: "Little boy, are you really wanting to kiss me? Without utilitarianism?"

Li Heng said: "What is called utilitarianism?"

Yu Shuheng spat out three words unhurriedly: "Heart is not pure."

Li Heng complained: "Comforting you, is also called utilitarianism? Hum hum!"

"Hum hum..." Learning his tone and humming twice, the smile on Yu Shuheng's face was unprecedentedly brilliant.

After simply washing his hands with the things he bought, Li Heng entered the study.

Yu Shuheng started to get busy, starting to pack and tidy up the two's things. As a daughter of a wealthy family, she only took care of herself in the past, but now she is willing to do her best for another person.

After a toss, the trivial things were sorted out, leaving only the clothes to be used for the night not yet packed into the suitcase.

Yu Shuheng looked at the watch, and it took more than an hour without knowing it.

Thinking of this, she looked at the study direction, hesitated, and walked in.

At this time, Li Heng was flipping through county chronicle materials and was not writing.

Or rather, he had been in Ma'erkang Town for so long, and hadn't started writing a new book, spending the whole day either reading books, or running outside to chat with elderly people, discussing the evolution of Aba's humanities, history, and Tusi system with Principal Zhao Ran.

Regarding the creation of the new book, Yu Shuheng never asked, nor urged, choosing a book from the bookshelf and accompanying him with peace of mind.

She is enjoying this process very much now.

When he wrote "Cultural Travel", Runwen showed off to her more than once in letters.

Now "Bai Luyuan" and the new book are accompanied by her, she replaced Runwen's position, and she cherishes this experience more than Runwen.

The time immersed in books passed in a flash, the sunlight slowly faded, and the night had arrived silently.

At one moment, Yu Shuheng put down the book and looked up at him.

Seeing him lowering his head and focusing on taking notes, her gaze was as gentle as water, a bit infatuated.

Suddenly, she got up with itchy heart, hugged him from behind, and like a little woman, put her chin on his shoulder, watching the words under his pen.

Li Heng paused, looked back at her, and then continued to write with concentration.

Watching him write two pages of paper, Yu Shuheng's doting heart arose, leaning over to peck his left cheek.

After one peck, he didn't react, she pecked again.

Then the third peck...

The fourth peck..

When it was the seventh peck, Li Heng threw the pen, turned around and hugged her, picked her up horizontally onto his lap, his right hand following her lower abdomen upward, groping, groping, and entered her clothes.

Yu Shuheng first watched his every move, not catering, nor stopping.

But as time passed, her body gradually softened. At one moment, when a mouth bit her chest collar, she paused, her right hand instinctively raised wanting to drive him away, but finally couldn't bear it, and then she closed her beautiful eyelashes, her right hand couldn't help but place it on the back of his head, gently stroking back and forth.

The atmosphere in the study became more and more ambiguous. When love was thick, Yu Shuheng's feet tightened, hugging the back of his head tightly, her fair neck tilted back to the limit, all the beauty and strangeness turned into a sigh of lingering fragrance in the end.

After the sigh, the study gradually became quiet.

Li Heng looked down from above, admiring her with tiger eyes.

At this moment, Yu Laoshi's face remained flushed, beautiful beyond compare, extremely amorous. After a while, she barely opened her eyes, her red lips moving, "Little man, satisfied?"

Li Heng smiled happily, leaning into her ear and saying: "I like Teacher's appearance."

Yu Shuheng was expressionless, asking lazily: "When will you wear the jade pendant?"

The jade pendant in her mouth refers to the mutton-fat jade plaque she had worn for more than ten years.

After the two accidentally had their first intimate contact, she gave it to him.

Obviously, she was testing him.

Also countering his teasing.

Li Heng blinked and gave an answer: "When you are pregnant in the future."

Yu Shuheng was suddenly laughed at by anger, sat up from his arms, and then turned and left, the action without any dragging, clean and neat.

Her laughing at anger, half true, half false.

True is that this man is still thinking about marrying Song Yu.

False is that she felt a bit uncomfortable and had to clean herself up.

Liu Bei is back.

Besides giving Yu Shuheng some business document materials, she also brought Li Heng a stack of letters.

It was really a stack of letters.

Among them were reply letters from Song Yu, Xiao Han, Chen Zijin, and Mai Sui.

Also letters from Wang Ye and Li Wang.

And some miscellaneous love letters and the like. Liu Bei gave these to him intact.

Li Heng didn't avoid Yu Laoshi, and read the letters under her eyelids like that.

Yu Shuheng, who was drinking coffee, didn't lean over to check the content of the letters, but secretly observed his every move.

Sure enough, as she expected.

Among so many letters, the first letter Li Heng opened was Song Yu's.

Next were Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

The fourth place was Mai Sui.

She also noticed that except for reading Song Yu's letter twice, Xiao Han, Chen Zijin, and Mai Sui's letters were only read once, and the time spent was about the same.

Does this mean that Mai Sui's position in his heart has caught up with Xiao Han and Chen Zijin?

The 4 letters were all about family chores, they each introduced their life and study situation at school, and while asking about his well-being, they were also curious about his subsequent dynamics in Ma'erkang Town.

After reading the 4 letters, Li Heng didn't reply immediately, but drank half a cup of coffee to catch his breath.

Immediately after, he started to open Wang Ye's letter.

Since refusing the other party's "betting condition" in the private room of Old Li's restaurant, Li Heng had actually been pondering whether Wang Ye would suddenly propose resignation one day?

But in fact, he thought too much.

In the letter, Wang Ye very dutifully introduced the current situation of New Future Tutoring School.

And reported one by one the series of management measures, talent recruitment, and company regulations added and adjusted after she took office.

Then, Wang Ye said in the letter that New Future has started to launch the establishment of branch schools in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tianjin.

Tianjin?

Regarding this city outside the plan, Li Heng carefully reviewed the reasons and survey data given by Wang Ye, was silent, and finally agreed.

Wang Ye's letter was very long, with a full 6 pages of paper, without a single nonsense word, full of dry goods.

After reading it through, he only had one feeling: this woman is raw and fierce, her overall management ability is very strong, different from Li Ran's "vanguard" talent, this is a commander-type talent who can stand alone, he picked up a treasure.

Immediately, Li Heng replied to Wang Ye with a letter. The content of the letter was not long, summarized into 6 points, corresponding to Wang Ye's request for opinions.

Seeing that his four confidantes didn't reply immediately, but he replied to Wang Ye, Yu Shuheng asked curiously: "You think highly of Wang Ye?"

Li Heng smiled without saying a word, but handed the 6 pages of letter paper written by Wang Ye to her.

After reading the letter, Yu Shuheng praised: "If you can keep this person by your side for a long time, it can save you 10 years."

Hearing this, Li Heng thought of Wang Ye's strong desire to borrow seeds at the beginning, and immediately shook his head: "Such people cannot be forced, when she feels she should go, she must learn to let go."

Yu Shuheng said: "You are quite open-minded."

Li Heng said: "It has nothing to do with being open-minded, but forcing is useless. I think Mr. Jin Yong feels deeply about this."

Yu Shuheng asked meaningfully: "Is she asking for something from you?"

Li Heng said ambiguously: "Regardless of whether there is or not, I won't agree."

Yu Shuheng smiled and stopped at the point.

Saying this, Li Heng asked: "Teacher, what do you think of establishing a branch school in Tianjin?"

Yu Shuheng thought for a while and said: "The market is blank, Tianjin can support your tutoring school."

Hearing this, Li Heng completely settled his heart.

Yu Shuheng asked: "When does your second phase start?"

Li Heng said: "Planned for late December."

Yu Shuheng estimated: "If you can maintain the prosperity of the first phase, the four schools can bring you tens of millions of revenue in the second phase."

Li Heng said expectantly: "Hope so."

Then he remembered something, looked up and asked: "By the way, how much salary do you think is appropriate for me to pay Wang Ye?"

"Salary?"

Yu Shuheng asked back, saying: "Salary might not be enough, let her propose the conditions herself, as long as it is within the acceptable range, agree readily. This is a rare talent."

Then she pondered and said: "I think Wang Ye won't propose conditions in a short time, at least wait until the second phase is finished, use performance to prove her talent, before sitting down to talk to you formally."

Li Heng smiled and said: "I am looking forward to this scene."

After replying to Wang Ye's letter, Li Heng then opened Li Wang's letter.

In the content of the letter, the first paragraph brought him a surprise.

Li Wang mentioned: In the past half month, Anta Shoes' sales performance has ushered in a blowout again, with sales in two weeks exceeding 21.8 million, and it is expected to create a historical glory of 45 million in October.

The Seoul Olympics ended on October 2nd, but the influence of the Olympics is still continuing to ferment, and the effect is reflected in the sales data rising steadily.

Li Heng read and smacked his tongue secretly, it seems that his set of combination punches is quite unsolvable, and the market gave him the feedback he wanted most.

A report was attached to the letter.

Looking at the report one by one, he was very happy and incomparably bright in his heart.

Facts have proved that the way of exposing the identity of a great writer is worthy of affirmation, not only helping the Anta and li-heng brands soar, but also bringing huge economic benefits.

At the end of the letter, Li Wang introduced the specific situation of the distributor conference. When she launched the joint sales scheme at the conference, it did indeed encounter collective resistance from many distributors.

But she didn't soften her heart, and implemented Li Heng's policy very well. Whoever resisted was fired, and whoever took the lead in making trouble was deprived of their distributor qualification.

Under her ruthless style, the conference achieved complete success after depriving 11 people of their distributor qualifications on the spot.

In the last sentence, Li Wang wrote: Cousin Boss, don't worry, everything is looking good now.

Li Heng stared at the four words "Cousin Boss" for a long time, then smiled, very comfortable.

Facing the thorn, whoa! It pays attention to one not being ruthless, not standing firm, it should be cut with one knife. Reform must experience obstacles and pain, but in this golden age where you can pick up big money by bending over, who the hell has time to indulge you!

From the Olympics to now, in just one month, Anta Shoes' total sales have exceeded 53 million, which is quite gratifying.

This is 1988, it is a big company in Shanghai, it is also a big taxpayer, and it is an existence that the local government must serve well.

He is particularly content. As for those other miscellaneous letters, Li Heng scanned them roughly and put them away, without time to check.

During dinner, Liu Bei told them that everything was ready and they could set off tomorrow morning.

Liu Ying reminded on the side: "Miss Yu, Mr. Li, the weather forecast says there will be heavy snow, even blizzards, in the next week."

Yu Shuheng put a piece of pork belly into Li Heng's bowl and asked: "Will it affect travel?"

Liu Bei glanced at the pork belly in Li Heng's bowl, "Four off-road vehicles are full of pre-used equipment and daily necessities, even if encountering blizzards in the wild, it is enough to cope."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng turned to Li Heng: "What do you think?"

Li Heng said: "Quite good."

As he made the decision, everyone started discussing the details of tomorrow while eating, and it took almost two hours to disperse.

During the evening stroll, Li Heng was pondering: Dr. Gu Yao said that you can't exercise vigorously in plateau areas, and you can't drink alcohol.

But damn it, looking over, there are quite a few people running around, and it is estimated that there are countless people hiding in the quilt to play poker at night.

Otherwise, how were these children on the street born?

Honestly speaking, maybe it's because I'm used to herding cattle and cutting firewood in the Xuefeng Mountains since I was a child, coming to Aba there is no strange reaction at all, the only feeling is that it is colder than my hometown.

"Mr. Li, heard you are leaving tomorrow?" Just as he was strolling to a dry wild goods shop, a girl named Zhula asked him.

The two have quite a lot of dealings.

Because this girl is enthusiastic, and he is close to where she lives, the key is that she is a secondary vocational student, and her Mandarin is not bad, so she can communicate well.

Uh, it seems that the other party is a Han Chinese, just took a name with local characteristics, so her Mandarin is not bad.

Li Heng nodded with a smile, "Not leaving, just going to the counties and towns below to take a look."

Zhula took out a "Bai Luyuan" from under the counter, "Mr. Li, can you sign it for me?"

Yeah!

This is the first time someone has asked for his autograph since he came to Aba. Most of the time, he feels that the people above don't know him, don't know his name?

Li Heng took the book and then asked: "When did you see through my identity?"

Zhula smiled very sweetly: "I like reading newspapers at school, and I have seen Mr. Li in the newspaper."

Li Heng took out a pen and signed: "No wonder every time you sell wild goods to me, you give a discount."

At this time, Zhula's little sister interrupted messily: "Brother Li, my sister said she wants to marry you."

Hearing this, the scene was a bit suffocating.

Zhula peeked at Yu Shuheng, then lowered her head quickly, her toes frantically digging in her shoes, that force, whoa! Almost digging a hole in the sole of the shoe.

In front of a great beauty like Yu Shuheng, who has 100% scholarly temperament, Zhula felt ashamed and didn't dare to look at her at all.

Yu Laoshi revealed a knowing, intellectual smile, shook her long hair, and left the shop.

She didn't worry about Zhula at all. Because this girl is only considered upper-middle level at Fudan University, much worse than that Dai Qing in Li Heng's liaison dormitory.

Li Heng didn't care about the child's play either, reached out and touched the little sister's head, turned around and followed Yu Laoshi.

After the group left, Zhula instantly resurrected with full blood, grabbing her little sister's arm and shaking it: "Are you crazy! Do you want to die! Who did you learn such shameful words from?"

The little sister's body was shaken from side to side, shouting loudly: "Who told you to secretly kiss the newspaper."

Why kiss the newspaper?

There is a photo of someone on the newspaper.

Zhula was directly socially dead, hurriedly covering her sister's mouth with her hand, but her eyes drifted to others in the shop, her face red, wanting to find a hole to crawl into.

Rested for one night.

The next day, a group of 6 people drove away from Ma'erkang Town in four off-road vehicles. The first stop was to go east to Miyaluo. It is autumn now, and the Miyaluo red leaves are forest-like, which is very spectacular.

Yu Shuheng, who has always maintained an elegant image, almost lost her reserve this time, happily pulling Li Heng to take pictures everywhere, taking solo photos, taking group photos.

In front of a red leaf forest, her eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Li Heng, as if saying: Hug me.

Li Heng read her eyes, hugged her tightly from behind, and the two faced the camera in Dr. Gu's hands, taking a beautiful group photo.

Looking at the two in the camera, Dr. Gu couldn't help but sigh: "Truly characters from fairyland, the scenery is beautiful, the people are even more beautiful."

Since peeking at the ambiguity between the two, Dr. Gu no longer mentioned the teacher-student relationship between the two, and there were fewer constraints in daily conversation.

Stayed in Miyaluo for one night.

The next day, everyone continued their journey, this time turning north, passing through Rangkou, E'motang, Xiaojin, Tangke, Ruo'ergai, and arriving at Chuanzhusi.

Along the way, every time Li Heng arrived at a small town, he would personally investigate the situation, read the classics and literature there, and visit reputable elderly people in the local area, in order to obtain first-hand information.

Of course, it can also be considered as leaving his own footprints, preparing for the new book in the future, and letting the world dispel doubts about the new book.

When the new book comes out, everyone will say: Oh, that guy spent a lot of effort, no wonder he can write such a high-quality novel.

When arriving at Chuanzhusi, it snowed. Dense goose-feather snow hit the ground layer by layer, and in a while, it covered the entire gray world.

Originally wanted to find a hostel, but unfortunately the imagination is beautiful, the reality is skinny, this era is poor everywhere, and there is no decent hostel in such a Chuanxi small town that can be seen at a glance. Finally, there was no choice but to use money to pave the way and move into the local commune.

"Mr. Li, Miss Yu, there are two restaurants in the town, and they are all closed in this weather." Zeng Yun drove around the small town and got such a result.

Li Heng looked up at the sky and said: "Didn't we prepare firewood, rice, oil, and salt? I'll do it."

Dr. Gu was surprised: "Mr. Li can also cook?"

Li Heng joked half-truthfully: "Delicious food, Dr. Gu will have to eat another bowl later."

"That's good, the meal cooked by the great writer himself is hard to find in a hundred years, I naturally have to eat another bowl." Dr. Gu covered her mouth and laughed.

To be honest, having been together for so long, she still quite likes looking at Li Heng's face. Coupled with the halo of the other party's great writer and musician identity, even if he was constantly followed by a great beauty like Yu Laoshi, she even wanted to betray her husband at home and recommend herself to the pillow one night.

You say that traveling over mountains and rivers, eating and drinking together every day, and Li Heng is so eye-catching and wealthy, and Dr. Gu is 38 this year, in the most hungry age, lacking men for a long time, it is easy to be restless.

However, these are just fantasies when the night is hard to endure. With Yu Shuheng there, she neither dares nor can do anything out of line.

Because it was too cold, dinner was very simple. After stir-frying three wild game dishes and one sour and spicy chicken gizzard, Li Heng also made a large mutton hot pot, and then placed side dishes around it, such as fried tofu, mushrooms, potato slices, etc.

It is also a hot pot, but people who can cook are different. The 6 people sat around a table and finally almost drank the hot pot soup.

Dr. Gu, who ate two bowls of rice, patted her belly unfulfilled, and teased Yu Shuheng: "Mr. Li is both civil and martial, Miss Yu is really happy."

Yu Shuheng smiled warmly and didn't argue, obviously very satisfied with Li Heng's cooking skills.

The snow fell heavier and heavier. After one night, the snow on the ground had exceeded the knees, and the group was trapped.

No way, Li Heng temporarily gave up the idea of going to Jiuzhaigou and sat in the room concentrating on reading books. In the middle, he took time to reply to the letters of Song Yu and the four women.

A nest of sparrows came to the tree trunk outside the window at some point, chirping with different liveliness. Yu Shuheng raised her camera, standing by the window and kept snapping.

Finally, she suddenly sighed: "If the mountain was sealed by heavy snow, I would live here for the rest of my life."

Li Heng looked up at the outside, "The scenery here is beautiful, it's okay to live for a short time, but after a long time, Teacher will miss Shanghai."

Yu Shuheng turned her back to him and said softly: "Don't miss it."

The three words "Don't miss it", Li Heng heard dazed, his sight falling on her tall back, he understood: Teacher is saying this to herself, it is another kind of emotional narrative.

His gaze lingered on her slender figure for a while, at one moment, Li Heng, whose heart was moved, put down the book, stood up slowly, walked behind her silently, wrapped his arms around her arms, and hugged her tightly.

Yu Shuheng looked back and smiled, leaning over to kiss his corner of the mouth intimately.

Li Heng was fast this time, holding her red lips.

Yu Shuheng was stunned, then put the camera on her chest, didn't struggle, and tacitly pecked him lightly several times, the four lips crossing shallowly, no deep kiss, but this artistic conception was more heart-moving than a deep kiss, more worth savoring and looking forward to.

After the 8th dragonfly-touching-water, Yu Shuheng leaned her head on his neck, looking at the sky with heavy snow flying, and said sincerely: "Li Heng, Teacher wants to live with you."

Smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, Li Heng looked at the sky along her line of sight, didn't respond, but hugged her tighter.

Embracing each other, the two who enjoyed the soul seemed to have forgotten the time.

After not knowing how long passed, when the last sparrow on the tree trunk spread its wings and flew away, Yu Shuheng, who gradually came back to her senses, asked him: "In 5 days, we will have been in Aba for a month, are we still going south?"

Li Heng said: "Going south. We will go to Chengdu from the route of Maoxian, Wenchuan, and Yingxiu, and then fly directly back to Shanghai."

Yu Shuheng flashed a map route in her mind and said softly: "Okay."

Hugging and hugging, the two who had no intention of separating finally hugged the sky dark. Yu Shuheng reached out and closed the window, then put the camera aside, turned around from his arms and wrapped around his neck, staring straight at his face, smiling after a long while: "Good looking."

Not waiting for his reply, she sighed again: "You can seduce so many excellent women, Aunt Tian has at least half the credit."

This so-called half credit refers to Tian Run'e passing her beauty to him.

Li Heng was dissatisfied: "What is called seduction? Aren't you willing?"

Yu Shuheng's smile grew wider, suddenly letting go of him, saying softly: "It's not early, I'll go find Liu Bei to talk about something, you wash up and rest early." 【5

"Eh."

Li Heng let out an "eh," but he did not follow her instructions; instead, he returned to the desk, picked up the book from before, and continued flipping through it.

He read very earnestly, taking notes from time to time and recording his insights in the margins between the lines. This was a habit he had cultivated over many years of reading.

This time was different from the past; he intended to finish writing his new book and, after repeated revisions, show it to his teacher and Chief Editor Liao for their review.

Because he now had fame, status, and was certainly not short of money, there was no need to be so rushed; properly polishing the prose and the story was the real priority.

Therefore, during this month in Aba, he did not start writing the new book, but instead spent day after day reading local gazetteers and talking with the elderly to accumulate cultural depth.

The goal was to innovate upon his existing works, hoping to write a book that surpassed the original in terms of thought, literature, and narrative depth.

He felt that this was what he should strive to pursue in this second life.

Around 11:40 PM, Yu Shuheng came out of Liu Bei's room. Seeing that the light in his room was still on, she didn't urge him to sleep, but simply entered, added a cup of hot tea for him, and sat down beside him to keep him company.

Gazing at his meticulous profile, a thought suddenly popped into Yu Shuheng's mind: Give yourself to him tonight; you have already become so immersed in this relationship that you cannot extricate yourself.

But afterward, another thought emerged in her mind: No. Think of Song Yu and Zhou Shihe; you are Yu Shuheng, and this relationship should be even more perfect.

A fierce battle between heaven and man raged in her mind, and for the first time, Yu Shuheng, who had always been in control in front of others, felt a sense of anxiety about gains and losses.

Li Heng knew nothing of everything happening beside him.

By the time he, engrossed in his reading, came to his senses, the night was already deep, and Yu Laoshi had also fallen asleep with her head tilted on the chair.

Li Heng subconsciously checked the time: 3:49.

Hmm?

Is it already this late?

He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit incredulous; he even thought the watch was broken, as it had clearly felt like just the blink of an eye.

He leaned over to look at the watch on Yu Laoshi's wrist; it was also 3:49.

He was dazed, immediately put away the books, capped his pen, then came before Yu Laoshi, bent down to scoop her up horizontally, and placed her on his bed.

After helping her cover up with the quilt, he turned off the light, left the room, and went to her bedroom to spend the night.

When the sound of the door closing came, Yu Shuheng opened her eyes in a daze, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then closed her eyes and fell back asleep.

Her consciousness before sleep was still thinking: Young boys are not short of high-quality women, and they are also very timid.

Earlier, when they were embracing by the window, his body had clearly undergone a huge change, and even through his thick clothes, she could clearly sense it.

But the young man had been trying hard to control his lust, and only when he truly couldn't bear it anymore would he quietly reach his hand inside her clothes.

But after a while, he would take his hand out again on his own.

Regarding those little actions of his, Yu Shuheng pretended not to see them; not only did she not stop him, but she also faced that strange, wonderful feeling with an attitude of enjoyment.

For four consecutive days, the group was trapped at Chuanzhusi.

It wasn't until the fifth day, after most of the ice and snow on the ground had melted, that Li Heng, Yu Laoshi, and the other four continued their journey.

They gave up on going to Jiuzhaigou and headed south along Maoxian, walking and stopping along the way, taking a full week to enter Shudu.

Looking at the increasingly bustling streets outside the window, Yu Shuheng asked reluctantly, "Are we really going back?"

Li Heng replied, "We've been out for nearly 40 days; it's time to go back."

40 days? Yu Shuheng took out a calendar and realized that today was already November 8th.

In another 50 days or so, 1988 would be over.

Staring at the calendar for a while, Yu Shuheng muttered to herself, "Time flies so fast; will you start writing the new book when you get back to school?"

Li Heng said, "Just about, though it might not be that fast; there are still some materials I need to consolidate."

Yu Shuheng became interested and raised her head: "Have you thought of a name for the new book yet?"

Li Heng answered, "Dust Settles."

Yu Shuheng silently chewed on the title a few times, feeling the artistic atmosphere was good: "I want to be the first reader of 'Dust Settles'."

"Consider it arranged." Li Heng smiled, satisfying her wish.

In November of this year, Shudu Airport was also a bit cold, and Li Heng boarded the plane without even changing his clothes.

Looking through the plane window at the receding clouds, Li Heng asked, "Teacher, what is the weather like in Shanghai today?"

Yu Shuheng said, "It snowed last night, too."

"Ah?"

Li Heng asked with an "ah": "Won't that affect the flights?"

Yu Shuheng shook her head: "No, Ceng Yun has already called to confirm."

Actually, as soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he had asked in vain; if it affected the takeoff and landing of planes, the airlines would have stopped flying long ago, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

However, his consciousness and thinking were still stuck in Aba, at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, and he hadn't reacted yet.

Li Heng said, "I want to buy a car."

"Oh? What kind of car do you want to buy?" Yu Shuheng turned her head.

Li Heng said, "A van."

Yu Shuheng laughed: "Little brother, you talked to me so solemnly about buying a car, and it turns out to be a van?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes, very much disliking this form of address, and immediately whispered in her ear: "Is it small or not? Don't you know?"

Feeling the heat wave by her ear, Yu Shuheng's expression became strange: "Should I know? How about I resign when I go back today and become your bride tonight?"

Yu Laoshi, you aren't playing by the rules; how can a refined young lady say such things? Li Heng retreated in defeat, wisely choosing not to respond.

Seeing him pull his body back, Yu Shuheng felt a little disappointed for some reason; she calmed herself and asked, "Why buy a van? A Santana would be better than that."

Li Heng waved his hand: "No need, the Santana is too high-profile. I'm still a student; having a means of transport is enough."

Yu Shuheng understood: "To go to Xu Hui?"

Xiao Han was in Xu Hui, and he was indeed thinking of buying a car because of his black-bellied wife.

But he wasn't stupid, so of course he wouldn't admit it directly: "Anta Footwear is in Huangpu; if I have a car, it will be more convenient for me to travel back and forth."

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuheng held a different view.

She brushed her hair back with her right hand, her red lips parted slightly as she said, "I think it's better for you to take the bus at this stage; this way you can have zero-distance contact with the various states of society, which is beneficial for your future writing.

If you isolate yourself from the outside world with a van too early, and you spend most of your time at school, it's easy to cause a disconnect in your thinking."

Seeing him fall into deep thought, Yu Laoshi added: "Shanghai after the Reform and Opening-up changes drastically every year; these are the most precious raw accumulations. Wait until you finish your junior year to consider it; by then, buy a good car."

Li Heng felt this made a lot of sense.

Although his mind was filled with many books, ever since he started "To Live," he hadn't just copied the original work, but would add 30% innovation to the content, all of which was inseparable from what he saw and heard in daily life.

Seeing him accept her suggestion, Yu Shuheng was somewhat happy and teased, "If you buy a car, you won't be able to meet the great beauties from other schools; that's a loss."

Li Heng was speechless, though he did think of Wu Siyao from Tongji University; that girl had once encountered him 10 times on the bus.

According to her, it took her half a year to encounter him 10 times.

In the end, she even ran into the "Great King Zhou," which left her somewhat disheartened.

It took 3 hours from Shudu to Shanghai, but the two chatted and laughed all the way, and time passed very quickly; it seemed like just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and the plane began to descend.

After getting off the plane and following the crowd toward the exit, Yu Shuheng suddenly asked: "Little brother, you've been delaying installing a landline phone at home; is it because you're afraid of Xiao Han and Chen Zijin checking up on you? Afraid of them coming into direct contact with Mai Sui? Afraid of them invisibly restricting your freedom?"

A bullseye.

Li Heng cast a white-eyed glance at her, "Change how you address me."

Yu Shuheng said triumphantly: "Little brother!"

PS: Posted first, edited later.

Already updated 11,000 words.

Also: To explain, because I have more than a dozen kidney stones. I only passed 12 three months ago, and I didn't expect that after a year, there would be so many again. I'm truly afraid of the pain, so now I have to follow the doctor's orders: I have to exercise every hour and a half during the day, go outside and walk around, and I don't dare to sit and type for long periods, so I basically can't produce 10,000 words by noon anymore. Even if I get up at 4 AM, I can't keep up; it's been like this for the past few days.

Therefore, I will try to be as early as possible in the future, but it will likely be more of an evening update for the 10,000 words.

Please understand, my big bosses.

Also, don't criticize me for only doing one chapter a day; this is a 10,000-word chapter. I've updated over 268,000 words so far this month. I think I'm being quite diligent; don't just look at the number of chapters, look at the volume! Volume! There are authors on Qidian who update 10,000 words a day, but there definitely aren't many of them...

I wonder if this chapter will get a 404!
