Chapter 538

~22 min read 4,232 words

Li Heng, Mai Sui, and Yu Yu Yu Shuheng came to the small building at No. 27 next door.

At this time, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who had been busy all afternoon, had already finished showering and washing clothes, and was leisurely flipping through "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," one of the Four Great Classical Novels, on the sofa.

Li Heng looked very surprised and took an extra look at the book in the other party's hand: "Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, you, who have always been gentle, graceful, and well-read, also read this kind of power-struggle book full of killing?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, closed the book, and placed it on the coffee table: "I have dabbled in all types of Chinese and foreign classics."

Li Heng sat on the sofa opposite her, took "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and flipped through it, finding that there were actually notes, from beginning to end, so he asked: "Not reading it for the first time?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe replied: "5th time."

Li Heng was even more curious, "Read it so many times, any gains or insights?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said: "There are two sentences that left a deeper impression."

Li Heng asked casually: "Which two sentences?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe glanced at Mai Sui and said as gently as jade: "Submit to your lot and wait for the right time; one cannot contend with fate."

Li Heng also swept a glance at Mai Sui and fell silent.

He felt that Zhou Gu Niang's words were meant for Mai Sui to hear: when there is no opportunity, waiting is the best opportunity.

Clearly, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was persuading Mai Sui in another way; for the sake of love in her heart, she should cherish time and opportunity.

Li Heng asked: "What is the other sentence?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said quietly: "As for heroes, they are those who have great ambitions in their hearts, good strategies in their bellies, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth."

Hearing this, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng hooked the corner of her mouth meaningfully.

A woman's sixth sense told her: Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's second sentence was directed at her.

The fact was indeed so; these words had two meanings:

The first meaning was that Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was vaguely expressing her attitude to Yu Laoshi, and also persuading the other party: she didn't want to get involved in Yu Laoshi's relationship, so don't force it too much out of wishful thinking.

Otherwise, it's easy for things to reverse when they reach the extreme.

This was her powerful counterattack to Shen Xin's previous warning.

Last time, Shen Xin told the story of Yu Laoshi and Li Heng going to Aba in a chatty way, and also worriedly talked about her daughter not getting pregnant. Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe wasn't stupid; she naturally understood Shen Xin's intention.

But this touched her red line.

At the same time, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was also expressing dissatisfaction with Yu Laoshi repeatedly guarding against her with "unfounded" charges.

Just like what she just said: a true hero should have the ability to recognize people, should have great ambition, be able to contain the universe, and strive for progress. Instead of being jealous and suspicious of those who are better than oneself.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was usually weak and frail in front of people, very kind to friends around her, but at this moment, she was sharp-edged, showing unparalleled strong self-confidence.

Li Heng had a headache.

Really didn't expect that the paper-person Zhou Gu Niang, when serious, was not ambiguous at all.

The problem was that she didn't name names, and the tone was extremely gentle, focusing on letting you actively seat yourself, focusing on letting you guess, guess, guess?

The most critical thing was that these two sentences actually came from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," classic quotes from this masterpiece. Even if others wanted to retort, they had no foothold and could only maintain composure and eat a dumb loss.

This was the wisdom of the Fudan Great King.

Winning without a fight, returning the grievances, and the other party couldn't counterattack.

Because counterattacking would seem unreasonable. It could be called extremely clever means.

If the first meaning was a warning and counterattack to Yu Laoshi.

Then the second meaning was the opposite, releasing goodwill, releasing a signal of reconciliation.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe hoped Yu Laoshi could become a "hero" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," become a "person of excellence," generous and capable of accommodating others.

She was actively giving Yu Laoshi, and herself, a step down.

The reason she was active was that Yu Yu Yu Shuheng had taught her the course of College English after all, and was her teacher in the true sense.

Therefore, as a student, as a neighbor who sees each other every day, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was willing to take a step back. She didn't want Sui Sui and Li Heng to always be caught in the middle and be embarrassed.

Of course, this was her first time easing the relationship, and also the last time she would make a concession. There would be no more in the future.

The whole process was polite and measured, expressing dissatisfaction while also releasing goodwill. Whether to listen or not, whether to accept or not, she handed the choice to Yu Laoshi, who was an elder.

Well, in the concepts of this generation, teachers are generally classified as elders.

Mai Sui also realized the meaning belatedly, grabbed her best friend's palm with her right hand, and nervously broke into a cold sweat for Zhou Zhou Shihe.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled faintly at Sui Sui, sitting there with great dignity, motionless as a mountain.

Worried that the two women would be at daggers drawn, and also worried that Yu Laoshi would be proud and strong, Li Heng smiled brightly at Yu Laoshi and hurriedly changed the subject:

"By the way, Zhou Zhou Shihe. Yu Laoshi and I came over this time mainly about the pure music album split issue. Do you have any thoughts?"

He was politely asking the other party first; if Zhou Gu Niang had specific thoughts, then say them, and the three could sit together and discuss harmoniously.

If the other party didn't have specific opinions, then put Yu Laoshi's distribution plan on the table, and the three would discuss face-to-face.

He was fully respecting the thoughts and freedom of his partners, guaranteeing the rights and interests of the partners.

Didn't expect Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe to have no hesitation, saying gently: "I don't want the split..."

Before she could finish, Li Heng waved his hand to interrupt her, "That won't do! That won't work! This is not a small amount after all, not a few hundred or thousands playing house, but involves millions in profits.

Even if I, Li Heng, have a big face, I can't swallow it all alone; otherwise, how would I have the face to ask you to cooperate in the future? I can't pull this face down."

Seeing him very serious and solemn. Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe had to swallow the words behind, looking at him quietly.

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng glanced at Li Heng, knowing that some words were better said by herself, and immediately opened her mouth: "Zhou Zhou Shihe, I have a preliminary distribution plan here, listen to it, and if you have opinions, we'll discuss it again."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe nodded gently and said okay.

Hearing that the three were going to talk about money, Mai Sui stood up at this time, intending to avoid it.

However, Li Heng held her back, smiling and saying: "Where are you going? We're all our own people, just sit here."

Mai Sui looked at Yu Laoshi and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, and seeing that both women told her not to leave, she sat back in her original seat properly.

Next, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng explained the distribution plan she had discussed with Li Heng in Aba in detail again, and finally said to Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe: "According to this distribution plan, you and I both get 2 million in profit split.

Of course, this is just the amount for a month and a half of the album release, there will be more later, and the amount might be even larger than this."

After listening patiently, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said directly: "Too much, I don't want that much."

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng looked at Li Heng and persuaded: "This is not a question of whether it's too much or not, but the share you should get.

At the beginning, arranging and practicing, I, you, Li Heng, everyone worked together, only then did we have the current great situation."

Li Heng echoed on the side: "Yeah, Yu Laoshi is right, this album is the result of the three of us working together, it wouldn't work without anyone.

Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, we aren't outsiders, we often eat from the same pot, maybe we will cooperate in the future, don't be so polite."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe shook her head, "Can't calculate it like that, money is only a part, the huge fame and influence brought by this album are the most precious wealth, which cannot be measured by money; when you invited me to cooperate at the beginning, this was my honor."

After speaking, seeing Li Heng and Yu Laoshi about to open their mouths to persuade her again, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe simply said a number: "Then give me 500,000.

Teacher, Li Heng, don't try to persuade me anymore."

These were her sincere words, not hypocritical politeness.

As the only daughter of the Zhou family, she had never worried about money, nor had she thought about making money at this age. On the contrary, the fame and profit brought by the pure music album were her biggest gains.

And she felt that Li Heng was the core of the whole album, the soul figure; if he hadn't called her at the time, calling someone else would have had the same effect.

In short, she was a very contented person who thought for others. She still felt she had been hit by luck and made a big profit.

Hearing this, a flash of unnoticeable appreciation flashed in Yu Yu Yu Shuheng's eyes, and she said warmly: "500,000 is still too little. How about this, Zhou Zhou Shihe and I each take 1.2 million, how about that?"

"Ah?" Li Heng was astonished, hurriedly saying: "How can this work, I'm taking too much advantage…."

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng smiled and interrupted his words, making the final decision: "Don't push it away, let's decide it this way."

Some things are too much, and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who understood this principle, echoed: "Good."

Alright, the two enemies reached an agreement first, and then looked at him together.

Li Heng frowned and said: "I'm taking too much advantage, not good…."

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng didn't want to waste words on this little money, stood up and walked toward the stairwell, saying as she walked: "The distribution plan in the future will remain the same, Li Heng, you send Teacher off."

Li Heng was speechless, looking at Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe blinked playfully like he usually did, her face full of gentle smiles, like a spring breeze, extremely beautiful.

At this moment, a strange thing happened; Li Heng was instantly infected by this smile, instantly calmed all his moods, and his heart was inexplicably peaceful.

After looking at Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe tacitly for a moment, he turned and walked toward the stairwell.

Arriving at the center of the yard of the small building at No. 25 one after another, Li Heng looked at the sky and sighed: "A bit beyond my expectations."

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng felt the same and said: "It makes my pattern look small. For music, she is the most passionate and pure one, with great ambitions, not limited to these small petty profits in front of her."

After speaking, she turned her head, stared into his eyes with a half-smile, and teased: "Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe is really amazing, the means of hitting with a stick and giving a date is perfect, even Teacher can only eat a dumb loss. Little boy, marrying Song Yu is not as good as marrying her; with such a wife sitting in the house, everything is guaranteed to be in order, and you have no worries in the outside world."

Li Heng: ". …."

He didn't know if Teacher was sowing discord between Song Yu and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, or simply mocking his unfaithfulness.

Regarding this, he chose to ignore it with a thick skin and didn't pay attention to it.

Just entering the house, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng didn't move, with her back to him.

Looking at the graceful and charming figure in front of him, Li Heng laughed, understood, hugged her from behind, and whispered warmly in her ear: "No wonder you wanted me to send you off, it turns out you were angered."

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes lazily: "In your eyes, is Teacher so narrow-minded?"

Li Heng kissed her earlobe, "Then what is this…?"

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng's right hand reached back to his cheek, stroked it gently, and said softly after a long time: "For you, I have been changing myself."

She had indeed been adjusting herself, changing herself.

Thinking back to those years, in order to get a complete relationship, in order to get a complete him, she even sent people to investigate the Great Huang Huang Qingyi. But halfway through the investigation, she suddenly withdrew Liu Bei. As a woman, as a woman of the Yu family with explosive conditions, wanting to pursue a complete love, this itself was not wrong.

It was even human nature, a human instinct.

But later, fearing he wouldn't like it, she, who had suddenly realized, immediately made the decision to withdraw Liu Bei and gave up the investigation of Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi.

Even if she knew later that Li Heng and the Great Huang Huang Qingyi had a sexual relationship, she silently endured it, because the matter had already happened, she didn't want to flip old accounts, didn't want to make everyone embarrassed.

Decency is the best.

Such concessions, compromises, and tolerance, in fact, even an ordinary woman might not be able to do it, and as the eldest daughter of the Yu family with incomparable conditions, being able to do this step was not easy.

If she hadn't really moved her mortal heart, she wouldn't have put down her pride, and wouldn't have been so accommodating.

Feeling him hugging her tighter and tighter, feeling the changes in his body, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly and said nicely: "Man, that's enough, go help me call Mai Sui down, Teacher is taking her to a place."

Li Heng asked curiously: "It's so late, where to?"

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng said: "Women's business, don't ask."

Li Heng asked: "Then are you coming back tonight?"

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng turned her head and asked with a meaningful smile: "Why? Afraid I'll abduct her, and no one will accompany you to sleep tonight?"

The meaning was exactly that, but how could Li Heng admit it, "No, I'm just concerned about you."

Staring at him intently for a while, Yu Yu Yu Shuheng took back her hand on his face, stood up, came out of his arms, and brushed her hair back with her right hand, saying: "Go, it's not too early."

"Eh, okay." Li Heng agreed and turned to leave.

"Wait." She called him.

Li Heng looked back: "What's wrong?"

Yu Yu Yu Shuheng's gaze lingered on a certain place, stretched, and said: "Go to the yard to calm down before going up, don't scare them."

Li Heng: ". …."

Yu Laoshi, are you still the cold Yu Laoshi I met at the beginning?

How can you praise yourself like this.

After blowing cold air in the yard for a while, until his body returned to normal, Li Heng drilled into the small building at No. 27 again.

Went to the 2nd floor.

He reminded Mai Sui: "Yu Laoshi is waiting for you."

"Okay."

Mai Sui stood up and said to her best friend: "Zhou Zhou Shihe, I'm going out with Teacher, I'll be back in a while."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe hummed lightly.

Watching Yu Laoshi and Mai Sui leave from the attic, Li Heng returned to the living room, sat on the sofa leisurely, and then sighed several times.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who was originally reading, looked at him strangely, then stood up and poured two cups of hot tea, placing one in front of him.

Li Heng took the tea and sighed: "Comrade Zhou Zhou Shihe, why do you think there are such fools in this world who don't even know they want money?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's clever little mouth pouted slightly, held the teacup in her palm and turned it, and said quietly: "You have to raise three women in the future, isn't it better to have more money?"

Li Heng was speechless, refuted to the point of being unable to speak.

One sentence killed him!

And it belonged to the kind that couldn't be resisted.

He couldn't openly admit his wolfish ambitions right now, even if he did have such thoughts. But he couldn't say it, it would change the flavor if he said it.

Li Heng pretended to cough, then brought up a serious matter, asking: "Do you have time next February?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe cast her gaze over.

Li Heng asked again: "Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of the Netherlands, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with it, right?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe nodded.

Li Heng explained: "A few days ago, this orchestra contacted Yu Laoshi through her overseas friends, wanting to invite the three of us to perform live in the Netherlands in February, she asked me to ask you."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe asked: "Which piece to perform?"

Li Heng said: "'Together with Orchids' and 'Original Scenery of Hometown'."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe hesitated and asked: "Can you confirm the specific date?"

Li Heng said: "February 21st next year."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe put down the teacup in her hand, took the calendar on the table and flipped through it, flipped to February next year, and finally said: "Okay."

Li Heng was puzzled: "You're not free next February?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe replied, "No. My teacher also has a concert in February, wanting to invite us to participate, fortunately, the time doesn't conflict, hers is on February 12th."

Then she said: "Regarding Yu Laoshi's side, trouble you to help me ask."

Li Heng said refreshingly: "Rest assured, Yu Laoshi will agree."

Then he realized and asked pitifully: "Hey, why don't you ask me?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled, "Mr. Li, are you free on February 12th next year?"

Li Heng took a sip of tea and opened his mouth as if it were true: "Yes, Zhou Gu Niang."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe suddenly remembered something, pondered for a moment and said: "I plan to install a landline phone recently, do you want to do it together?"

Asking him if he wanted to install a phone in the small building at No. 26?

The reason she asked was that she felt Li Heng's status was unusual, not only a writer and musician but also having two companies, Anta Shoe Industry and New Future Tutoring School, so he must be busy and need a landline phone.

But Li Heng refused: "No need. I'm writing a new book soon, if the living room phone rings constantly, it will affect my writing state."

What kind of international joke is this, he isn't stupid. Having a landline phone at home isn't putting a tight hoop on himself?

Isn't it putting a tight hoop on Mai Sui?

If Chen Chen Zijin calls, what should he do if Mai Sui, who doesn't know, answers?

Chen Chen Zijin is fine, but what if Song Yu calls? The boat of friendship will capsize if it says it will, and Mai Sui might be stimulated to move out of the small building at No. 26.

That would be a big loss, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Besides, having a landline at home, the black-bellied wife calls to check the bed, he can't always lie, it's just freedom being restricted.

In addition, Yu Laoshi also visits the small building at No. 26 from time to time, which is also a mine.

Seeing him refuse so decisively, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked at him strangely again, as if she had guessed his little thoughts.

But she only thought of Xiao Han.

Thought of the scene where he and Mai Sui kissing was interrupted by Xiao Han's phone call….

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe didn't mention installing the phone again, waited until she finished half a cup of tea, raised her right wrist to check the time and said: "Do you still have something to find me for?"

Hearing this, Li Heng reacted greatly, his raised legs immediately sprang up like a spring, widened his eyes and asked incredulously: "No? Are you chasing me away?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe gently brushed her hair with her onion-white fingertips, lowered her head and hesitated for a small while, saying: "I'm a bit inconvenient."

Inconvenient?

Li Heng instantly thought of a woman's physiological period, she wants to go to the shower room to change clothes? He immediately put the teacup on the coffee table and walked away without looking back.

Hearing the footsteps go away, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe sat quietly on the sofa and didn't move.

It was a fact that she was inconvenient, but it wasn't that urgent.

Mainly because they were a lone man and a lone woman, she couldn't quite handle his gradually changing gaze.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe knew that, essentially, this couldn't be blamed on him. Usually, many boys peeked at her, and as they looked, it slowly changed quality, and there were some things in their eyes.

Reasonably speaking, she had long been used to that kind of admiring gaze. It's just that this boy was different, he was Li Heng.

He had held her in the snow in the Northeast, and accidentally touched her lips.

He and she had lived in the same room in Beijing, lasting for 43 days.

He had called her name in his dreams three times.

In the shower room of the small building at No. 26, he had almost seen her body completely.

In the piano room, as the piano sound spread, he had stared blankly at her more than once silently, and he was completely immersed in it without knowing it.

The two sentences he said to Wang Ye were vivid in her mind, as if they happened yesterday, making her memory deep…

He was Sui Sui's sweetheart, and not a dedicated person.

Thoughts couldn't help but surface one after another, and finally, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe stood up and entered the piano room, turned off the lights, sat in front of the piano, and soon a melodious melody came out in the dark night.

At this moment, Chen Chen Chen Siya of the small building at No. 24 was breastfeeding her child; when she heard the moving "Liang Zhu," she even specifically looked up at the small building at No. 27, but the whole building opposite was pitch black, without a single light.

"Hey, Zhou Gu Niang actually plays the piano at this hour today? Didn't she never practice at night before?" Fake Daoist Fu Fu Fu Yanjie walked out of the house and said to his wife with a look of surprise.

Chen Chen Chen Siya said: "Seems like it."

The fake Daoist looked from afar, "Lights aren't even on, playing blindly?"

Chen Chen Chen Siya pondered for a while and said: "She is calming her heart."

The fake Daoist turned around, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, bared his teeth and said: "Don't talk nonsense, can you hear this too? So divine?"

Chen Chen Chen Siya gave him a knife-like look, "Did you forget what I do? This 'Liang Zhu' Zhou Zhou Shihe has practiced many times, and I have heard it countless times, she is most out of state today."

But she added another sentence: "But now she is playing better and better, she should have found the feeling back."

Afterwards, the couple didn't talk anymore, listening silently, until the song was over, Chen Chen Chen Siya broke the silence: "Have you considered the matter of Hengyuan Investment Company clearly?"

"Sigh, wanting to borrow millions from Yu Laoshi, I'm afraid you and the child will suffer in the future."

"If you are under pressure, then slow down?"

The fake Daoist gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Opportunity knocks but once, tomorrow I'll go tell the principal about leaving school."

ps: Updated first, edited later. It's the last three days of this month, big bosses, cast your monthly tickets, thank you!
