Chapter 550: , You Step Back Three Steps, I Advance Three Steps

"Old Li, can I ask you a question?" Zhang Bing asked.

Li Heng put down the beer bottle: "Go ahead."

Zhang Bing lowered his head, and after a long while, he asked hesitantly: "Do you look down on me?"

Li Heng asked: "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Bing said with a sorrowful face: "I have a child and a wife at home. My wife has to serve the old and take care of the young in the mountains. Life is so bitter, it's not easy. The two children are also healthy and lively. Yet I have moved my heart to another woman here. I feel like I'm heartless and rotten to the core."

Li Heng asked knowingly: "Bai Wanying?"

Zhang Bing said muffledly: "Things have come to this, I can't hide it from you anymore, it's her."

Li Heng asked: "Was it love at first sight, or did feelings develop over time?"

Zhang Bing recalled seriously for a long time and shook his head: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, don't look at my age, but in terms of feelings, I'm a bit muddled. I don't understand much, I only know that I am deeply attracted by a quality in her. Today when Li Guang took out that letter, I was happy for her, but my heart was also a bit uncomfortable."

At this point, Zhang Bing drank another mouthful of bitter wine and said gloomily: "Do you think I'm conscience-less, a second Chen Shimei?"

Li Heng comforted him: "A beautiful lady is a gentleman's pursuit. If Bai Wanying weren't in a wheelchair, her beauty would be close to Liu Yue's; she could rank second in the class, and she is smart and capable, stronger than many men. It's understandable that you would be moved after spending a long time with her.

It is said that one should judge by actions, not by heart; if you judge by heart, there is no perfect person. Have you ever had the thought of marrying classmate Bai Wanying?"

Zhang Bing shook his head like a rattle, hurriedly denying: "Never, I wouldn't dare. My wife holds up a piece of sky at home, so I can study here with peace of mind. Every time I go home, I haven't heard her complain once; every time, she encourages me to study hard and not worry about the family.

Although she doesn't have much education, she is more sensible than me, a scholar. If I abandon her, I, I, I deserve to die."

Speaking to the end, Zhang Bing, who wasn't good with words, had a red neck.

Li Heng asked: "Then what is this?"

Zhang Bing sighed, and after a long time, he said dejectedly: "Wanying has helped me a lot, I have actually been saving money to treat her illness. Every time I earn money, 60% is saved in the bank to accumulate surgery fees, and 40% is sent home. I don't dare to spend money recklessly. Once I ate at a restaurant, and my heart ached for two months afterward."

Li Heng asked: "Does Bai Wanying know about your situation?"

Zhang Bing said hesitantly: "She, she should be clear in her heart, just pretending not to know."

Li Heng asked a core question: "Then has she developed feelings for you?"

Zhang Bing scratched the back of his head and said to the table: "I'm stupid, I can't figure her out."

Li Heng asked: "Then what are you worrying about? Worrying that she will marry Li Guang in the future?"

Zhang Bing nodded and shook his head, muttering: "Li Guang is quite good, sincere and kind. If Wanying can be with him, life won't be bad. I'm just worried that Wanying might not be willing."

Li Heng understood, "You're afraid she will consider your feelings and refuse this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

Zhang Bing said "Eh" in a low voice: "That's it, I'm very afraid now, afraid of becoming a sinner."

Li Heng pondered and asked: "You want me to act as a middleman and help you persuade her?"

Zhang Bing nodded heavily and said "Eh" again, "She usually likes to comment on people behind their backs, but she respects you very much, and she also evaluates Xiaozhu very highly. Your words might be more useful than mine."

Li Heng asked: "You also found Xiaozhu?"

Zhang Bing said: "Not yet, I originally planned to take a bath and go to Lushan Village to invite you first."

Li Heng pondered for a while, then put down his chopsticks and said: "Women can sometimes empathize better. Let's do this, let's go find Wei Xiaozhu now, and then talk to Bai Wanying."

Zhang Bing looked at the dishes on the table, "Leave now?"

Li Heng stood up and joked: "If we don't leave, can you sleep tonight?"

Zhang Bing smiled sheepishly and stood up with him.

Zhang Bing rushed to pay for the meal, Li Heng didn't stop him, left the restaurant, and the two rushed to the No. 12 girls' dormitory, only to be told that Wei Xiaozhu wasn't there.

Finally, the two ran to Yan Garden without stopping, and this time they didn't miss, seeing the person.

Wei Xiaozhu was hanging clothes on the corridor. Seeing the two rushing over, she turned around and asked: "Coming to find me so late, did something happen?"

Afraid that Zhang Bing would be thin-skinned, Li Heng said first: "Hi, nothing big, just want to ask you for a favor."

Wei Xiaozhu hung the clothes in her hand: "What favor?"

Li Heng explained his intention concisely, and after finishing, looked at her.

Wei Xiaozhu listened patiently, her gaze stayed on Zhang Bing for a while, and then she agreed readily.

After tossing around, the three finally met Bai Wanying at the entrance of the No. 9 girls' dormitory building; Chen Guifen pushed her down.

Due to Hu Ping, Chen Guifen didn't really want to see Wei Xiaozhu now; she was a bit jealous and envious of Wei Xiaozhu, and at the same time, she had some resentment, and more was inferiority. She turned her back to Wei Xiaozhu and asked Zhang Bing: "Do you want me to wait on the side?"

Zhang Bing looked at Li Heng.

Li Heng said: "Classmate Guifen, you go back to the dormitory. If you can't get into the dormitory later, I will take Comrade Wanying to Lushan Village to make do for one night; Mai Sui and the others are all there and can take good care of her."

Chen Guifen returned to the dormitory.

The three pushed Bai Wanying and also left the girls' dormitory building, finally stopping at Xi Garden.

Once they stopped, Zhang Bing hid away fearfully, hiding far away on the grass, gloomily rolling white paper cigarettes, one after another, the sparks were very eye-catching in the dark night, and they never went out.

Bai Wanying was a smart person. Seeing this scene, she seemed to guess everything, looked up and asked Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu: "Are you lobbyists invited by Zhang Bing? Are you here for Li Guang's matter?"

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other and frankly said yes.

Unexpectedly, the next second Bai Wanying shouted directly at Zhang Bing: "You come here!"

Zhang Bing came over tremblingly, bent over, with a nervous face.

Bai Wanying's expression wasn't serious, but she asked with a smile: "Are you sending me away?"

Hearing this, Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu felt that the smile on Bai Wanying's face had no temperature, but was very cold.

Zhang Bing waved his hands in panic, "I, I…."

Bai Wanying interrupted: "Who are you to me? Can you make the decision for me to marry?"

Zhang Bing instantly deflated, his head almost falling to the ground.

Seeing him like this, Bai Wanying couldn't bear it, her tone improved a bit and she said: "You go, go back to the dormitory and have a good rest. You still have class tomorrow and still have to set up the stall, keep your spirits up."

Zhang Bing turned and left, then turned back after a few steps.

Seeing this, Bai Wanying asked across the distance: "Do you dare to abandon your wife and children to marry me?"

Zhang Bing trembled all over, his head lowered even more, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Bai Wanying continued: "If you dare to abandon your family to marry me, you will also abandon me for other women after you become successful in the future. I wouldn't dare to marry you."

Zhang Bing breathed a sigh of relief, then his breath withered a bit more. After a stalemate, he left without looking back.

As the footsteps faded into the night, Xi Garden was left with only the three of them.

Wei Xiaozhu looked at Bai Wanying in surprise, and after a while said: "This is the first time I've seen you so fierce."

Bai Wanying smiled: "People have two sides. You are very ladylike in front of Li Heng, but you dare to slap Liu Quan in the face when you turn around."

Li Heng stretched: "Women should fight well if they want to fight, don't drag me into it."

Wei Xiaozhu didn't care, smiling: "I'm like this to most people, Li Heng doesn't have special treatment here."

Bai Wanying's gaze wandered between the two a few times, and she asked curiously: "Tell me, how do you two want to persuade me?"

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu were both amused by this sentence.

He opened the conversation: "Old Zhang actually cares about you quite a bit."

Bai Wanying said: "I know, he doesn't just care about me, he also fell in love with me."

This was too direct, making the two who were persuading freeze in place.

Li Heng quietly elbowed Wei Xiaozhu with his left hand.

Wei Xiaozhu understood and asked: "Then do you like Zhang Bing?"

Hearing this question, Bai Wanying, who was just fierce, fell silent, and after a long while said: "My feelings for Zhang Bing are very complicated. Since I became disabled, I no longer long for the affairs between men and women. The reason I help him plan and set up the stall with him every day is because he is honest and thick-skinned, and I have a place to vent my loneliness without worrying about gossip."

Disabled people indeed cannot engage in social activities like normal people; only they know the loneliness in their hearts.

Li Heng asked: "So, for Old Zhang, is friendship greater than love?"

Bai Wanying didn't make a sound.

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Then what about you and Li Guang?"

Bai Wanying pondered for a while and said: "If I were a normal person, Li Guang wouldn't be the type I like, but I don't reject him."

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu heard the subtext: if Bai Wanying were a normal person, she wouldn't fancy Li Guang.

If she were a normal person, she would indeed have the capital and confidence.

At this point, the three of them suddenly had nothing to say.

Because she had made it very clear that she had no emotional dependence on Li Guang. This was hard to persuade.

Bai Wanying was afraid that the two would be in a difficult position, so she sighed a moment later and said the concerns in her heart: "Actually, reality is very cruel. Where do I still have the qualifications to be picky? Even if I really marry Li Guang, I would accept it.

But what I worry about most isn't the emotional problem; I'm most afraid that the surgery won't be successful, but a large sum of money will be wasted, and I won't be able to marry Li Guang then. I can almost imagine Li Guang's desperate expression."

Wei Xiaozhu comforted: "Li Guang's parents believe in Buddhism, in the letter..."

Bai Wanying interrupted and asked: "Xiaozhu, if you were me, Li Heng cured your illness, would you marry him?"

Wei Xiaozhu was speechless.

Bai Wanying said: "There is no love without reason in the world; all charity is marked with a price. I know this very well. Li Guang's parents saying that is just because they don't want me to have pressure, but they don't know that my pressure is even greater.

If they clearly set conditions with me, that I would marry Li Guang if my illness is cured, I might not hesitate too much. Because I especially long for freedom of movement."

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Then do you intend to refuse Li Guang?"

Bai Wanying reached out and picked a dry branch from the path on the side, broke it into several pieces and said: "If I agree to Li Guang, Zhang Bing will have no one to take care of him in the future."

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other, seemingly understanding, but even more confused.

But they could confirm one thing: Bai Wanying was very resistant to that letter from Li Guang's parents in her heart.

Wei Xiaozhu asked with her eyes: Should we still persuade?

Li Heng's eyes replied: Her attitude is already very clear, how can we still persuade?

At this time, Bai Wanying's laughter came: "Is this the legendary 'exchanging glances'?"

Li Heng turned his head and said on a whim: "You said, the earlier the treatment, the higher the probability. Why don't I lend you the money to treat it. Anyway, I have many confidantes, you don't have to worry about me morally kidnapping you."

Bai Wanying rested her chin on her right hand: "Great talent Li, are you serious?"

Li Heng nodded: "Of course, I never speak empty words."

Hearing this, Bai Wanying turned to Wei Xiaozhu and teased herself: "It's a pity, I'm not as beautiful as Xiaozhu, otherwise I would accept your sponsorship immediately. After my body is cured, I'll come out to be your secretary. Usually help you manage work, and can be your woman when you're lonely."

"Hey hey! Look at me, it's getting more and more outrageous." As he said this, Li Heng rolled his eyes several times.

Bai Wanying didn't pay attention, just smiled at Wei Xiaozhu.

Wei Xiaozhu shifted her gaze, went around behind her, pushed the wheelchair and walked forward: "It's raining."

The sky really started to drift with rain, not big, but getting thicker and thicker. Li Heng looked at his watch and said, "The dormitory closed long ago, let's go, let's go back to Lushan Village, Xiaozhu you might as well go together."

Wei Xiaozhu asked while walking: "Xiao Han left?"

Li Heng: "Left, she has class tomorrow."

When rushing to Lushan Village, Bai Wanying in the wheelchair looked up, "Li Heng, can I ask you a question?"

"Better not ask. Old Zhang asked me a question before, and the result was that he was scolded back by you. I guess he's hiding in the quilt and feeling dejected now." Li Heng said.

Bai Wanying asked anyway, "Why do I feel that Yu Laoshi likes you?"

Wei Xiaozhu paused and looked at Li Heng incredulously.

Bai Wanying stared at Wei Xiaozhu without blinking, teasingly asked: "Xiaozhu, why do you have such a big reaction?"

Wei Xiaozhu continued to push the wheelchair: "It's too unexpected, where did you see it?"

Bai Wanying said: "I'm not guessing, I once accidentally saw Yu Laoshi helping Li Heng tidy up the clothes on his chest."

Li Heng asked: "Where?"

Bai Wanying said: "At the Jingcheng airport, I went there for a physical re-examination, and accidentally saw it. Don't worry, I've never told outsiders."

Then she added a sentence: "Of course, our Xiaozhu is not an outsider."

Li Heng defended: "Oh, I remember, that time coffee was spilled, some spilled on the clothes, and the teacher helped me wipe it."

Bai Wanying showed a playful look, but didn't expose him, cooperating and saying: "Seems like that. But Yu Laoshi is too good to you, taking care of you in everything. The day your writer identity was exposed, she was also busy helping you welcome guests."

Li Heng said: "In this matter, I have no experience, I am indeed very grateful to Yu Laoshi."

Listening to the two of you saying one thing and me saying another, Wei Xiaozhu didn't speak for the second half, her mind buzzing, full of Bai Wanying's sentence "Yu Laoshi likes you"?

Returning to Lushan Village, Wei Xiaozhu subconsciously looked toward Small Building No. 25, the lights were off, Yu Laoshi was not there.

Li Heng took out the key to open the door, entered the house and said to the two women: "You guys rest for a while, I'll go next door."

The two women seemed to know what he was going next door for, and didn't make a sound.

Until he left, Bai Wanying put away her previous playfulness and asked seriously: "Xiaozhu, if you were me, would you accept Li Guang?"

Wei Xiaozhu thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook her head: "Emotionally, I can't make do."

Bai Wanying mocked herself: "If I were healthy, we should be the same kind of people."

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Since you don't accept Li Guang. Actually, I think you can consider Li Heng's side, he has hundreds of millions in assets, he doesn't care about your surgery fee."

Bai Wanying was very moved, but finally closed her eyes and said: "I'll earn money with Zhang Bing for a few years first. If I haven't earned the surgery fee by graduation, I'll try to find him with a thick skin. After my body is cured, I'll work for him for the rest of my life."

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Still waiting for graduation? Wouldn't that delay the timing of treatment?"

Bai Wanying was unmoved: "That is fate."

Hearing this, Wei Xiaozhu didn't mention this matter again. Because she vaguely perceived everything, it wasn't just a matter of money as simple as that.

…

Small Building No. 27.

Li Heng knocked on the door in the rain and found that it was Zhou Shihe who opened the door.

He asked: "Why is it you?"

Looking at each other through the door, Zhou Shihe's clever little mouth pouted slightly, "Then who do you hope it is? If it were Mai Sui, she is taking a bath."

Li Heng's mouth twitched, "You have a lot of opinions about me today, did I offend Great King Zhou somewhere?"

Zhou Shihe smiled gently, moved her body to the side, signaling him to enter the door.

Li Heng asked while changing shoes: "Just the two of you at home?"

Zhou Shihe said "Hmm."

When walking to the second floor, Li Heng asked: "How is Mai Sui's mood?"

Zhou Shihe behind him fixed her gaze on his back: "Why don't you go ask her yourself?"

Li Heng stopped abruptly and half-turned to look at her.

He stopped too suddenly, and Zhou Shihe almost bumped into him.

She retreated a step calmly, looking up at him with dignity.

For a time, you look at me, I look at you, neither spoke, and an indescribable aura arose between the two.

Suddenly, Li Heng took a step down the stairs on a whim.

She subconsciously retreated a step passively.

After a stalemate of two seconds, Li Heng retreated another step.

Zhou Shihe was still scared and retreated a step.

When he was about to take the third step, Zhou Shihe said quietly in a voice that could barely be heard: "I'm calling Mai Sui."

Hearing this, Li Heng really retracted his right foot that was in mid-air, leaned against the railing and stopped in place, staring at her without blinking.

Looking at each other silently for a while, at one moment, Zhou Shihe moved her head away without a trace, looking elsewhere, leaving only a side profile for him. Time stood still like this; at this moment, the two at the corner of the stairs didn't speak, afraid of breaking this delicate balance.

Don't know how long passed like this, Li Heng withdrew his gaze from her and turned to continue walking upstairs.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, Zhou Shihe slowly regained her composure, then her gaze moved up, just catching the tail of his last trace of back.

However, she didn't rush upstairs, but stayed in place for a good while, before moving her lotus steps, reaching the entrance of the second-floor corridor step by step with rhythm.

Looking at the place, someone was not polite at all, sitting on the sofa using her phone.

Hearing him call "Mom" in his mouth, Zhou Shihe went straight to the bedroom, closed the door when entering, sat on the bed, and then her gaze accidentally fell on the vanity mirror, and she stared at herself in the mirror.

Staring at the reflection, she suddenly remembered the expression Xiao Han's mother had when looking at her last night.

Also remembered the look in his eyes when he looked at her just now on the stairs.

Making her a bit at a loss, a bit worried.

With a "creak," the sound of the bathroom door opening came from the living room.

Zhou Shihe sorted out her emotions slightly, walked toward the bedroom door, and the moment she opened the bedroom door, her worried face disappeared, and she returned to calm again.

She said to Mai Sui with a smile: "You look very good in the big red jacket, you should wear it more often."

Mai Sui had heard this from someone, smiled tenderly and asked: "To occupy your phone, were you chased into the bedroom by him?"

Zhou Shihe blinked calmly: "He brought two women back."

Mai Sui turned her head to glance at Li Heng who was on the phone, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Han and the others?"

Zhou Shihe looked at her strangely.

Mai Sui couldn't stand her best friend's gaze, and defended herself: "Don't look, I'm not jealous."

Zhou Shihe smiled lightly, "Xiaozhu and Bai Wanying."

"Ah? Why did they come?" Mai Sui was a bit surprised, then said: "Come over with me to see."

Zhou Shihe didn't refuse and followed downstairs.

As for the person on the phone upstairs, neither woman paid any attention to him, nor were they worried that he would do bad things at home, feeling very relieved.

After making a call to his biological mother to understand the health of the two elders and the business situation of his second sister, he made the second call to Wang Ye.

Once the call was connected, he said: "I read your letter, you did a good job, I am very satisfied."

"Thank you, Boss."

Wang Ye said politely, then asked: "I found people in charge for the branch schools in Tianjin and Hangcheng. Teacher He Wen will take the lead in Tianjin, and Professor Zhao Li in Hangcheng."

Li Heng was very familiar with these two teachers. He remembered that during the trial lecture of New Future, they had both taken the stage to teach. He asked: "Did they both resign?"

Wang Ye told him: "Teacher He Wen was reported for working part-time outside, the Beihang leaders talked to him, and there might have been a conflict in the process, so he resigned in a fit of anger; while Professor Zhao Li from Renmin University took the initiative to submit her resignation. She is very optimistic about our New Future and wants to devote herself to the work."

Regardless of how the two teachers came out of school, he was very happy to gain two great generals at once.

Wang Ye said: "According to the preliminary plan, the second phase of enrollment is scheduled for January 1st. Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Li?"

Li Heng said: "I have read your plan carefully, it is perfect, I have no opinion for now, just proceed as expected."

Wang Ye mentioned another thing: "What about Li Ran as the person in charge of the Hangcheng branch?"

Li Heng asked: "What is your view?"

Wang Ye said truthfully: "At first I had another candidate. After receiving Li Ran's call, I thought about it repeatedly and decided that it was safer for Li Ran to hold this position. She is an old member of New Future, experienced, and with her there, I can reduce my energy input into Hangcheng."

Li Heng reminded: "Her situation is a bit special, be prepared for both hands, and be on guard against her running away at any time."

Wang Ye said: "Okay, I will arrange a backup to be her deputy."

Li Heng nodded.

Then Wang Ye mentioned the last big thing: "Starting from the second phase, the New Future team will usher in a sharp expansion, Boss, please send someone in human resources and finance."

Hearing this, Li Heng understood in his heart that her request to send someone was true, and handing in the "name card" was also true. After all, in a company, only by grasping human resources and finance can it not get out of control.

This matter was big, he didn't dare to brush it off, and said: "Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Ending the call with Wang Ye, Li Heng thought for a while and started dialing again.

This time he called Huang Zhaoyi.

Luck was not bad, holding the attitude of trying, the call was actually connected immediately.

"It's me." Li Heng said.

"Hmm." Hearing the familiar voice, Huang Zhaoyi's mood instantly became bright.

"I'm calling from Zhou Shihe's house." Li Heng said.

"Okay, I will pay attention to my words in the future." Huang Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and said so.

Li Heng turned his head to glance at the entrance of the corridor and asked in a low voice: "At this hour, what are you doing?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "I am meditating."

Li Heng was surprised: "Meditating?"

Huang Zhaoyi explained: "Learned from my old man, he has this habit, he will meditate for a period of time before getting up and before going to bed, and I learned it unknowingly."

Li Heng said: "Every time I come to your house, you aren't like this."

Huang Zhaoyi paused, and said a bit unnaturally: "No time."

Indeed no time. Every time he came, she was busy serving him, either cooking to serve him or kneeling on the floor to serve him in matters between men and women; where would she have the energy and time to meditate.

Recalling the scene of her eating ice cream, Li Heng felt itchy in his heart, suppressed the impulse to go find her now, and brought up the main business: "I need two people, do you have any..."

In one breath, he talked about the New Future matter, and then waited.

Hearing his request, Huang Zhaoyi was a bit excited. What did this mean?

He asked her for people, did it mean her status as his woman was further consolidated?

He wouldn't kick her away casually?

Huang Zhaoyi took two deep breaths, calmed her mood and said: "Yes, what kind do you want?"

Li Heng said: "Loyalty first, ability second, it's better if they have both ability and loyalty."

Huang Zhaoyi pondered for a while and immediately had a candidate, "I will have them come to you to report in two days."

Li Heng said: "No need to come to me, I trust you, just let them go to Jingcheng directly."

Huang Zhaoyi was a bit happy, "Okay."

Then the two chatted for a while about the current situation of the Taste-So-Beautiful company. Ten minutes later, before hanging up, she went through a struggle of thought and finally gathered the courage to ask: "I learned a few more dishes, when do you have time to come over and taste them."

Tasting dishes was the excuse; she missed him was the truth behind it.

Li Heng understood in seconds and asked her: "How much longer are you staying in Hangcheng?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "Going to Xiangnan in two days, there are several business contracts to sign there."

Two days?

Li Heng was a bit uncertain: "Let's do this, I'll come over when I have time, if I don't have time, I'll go to Xiangnan to find you then."

Huang Zhaoyi was used to it, and didn't feel lost after hearing it, saying very obediently: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Wait a minute." Just as she was about to put the receiver down, Li Heng hurriedly stopped her.

Huang Zhaoyi put the receiver back to her ear.

Li Heng said: "I haven't been back to my hometown for a while. After you go to Xiangnan, help me buy a few gifts and send them to my hometown, send them to my grandma, big sister, and big aunt."

Then he said the gift list, buying according to the actual needs and tastes of grandma and the others.

Huang Zhaoyi took a pen and wrote it on the paper, and finally said: "I will send someone to send it over."

The reason she specifically said "send someone to send it over" was to show loyalty to him. It meant she wouldn't show her face in front of others, wouldn't expose the private affair between the two, and wouldn't affect his relationship with the Xiao family.

For her sensibility, Li Heng was very happy, "Thank you for your hard work."

He was happy, and her mood naturally followed, chatting a few more sentences before ending the call.

This call lasted a full 21 minutes, the first time the two had chatted for such a long time; previous calls were hung up after a few sentences.

For example, one asked are you there? One replied I am, I'm coming, okay.

To celebrate the historical breakthrough in chat duration, Huang Zhaoyi temporarily put meditation aside, happily opened a bottle of red wine, took out Li Heng's photo and put it on the coffee table, drinking alone to the photo.

She poured a glass of red wine, took the wine glass to the photo, and said: "Child's dad, you drink first."

She dreamed of having a child of her own with this man.

After the third call, Li Heng didn't leave, pondered for a while, and dialed again.

The fourth call was to Shaodong, to his high school English teacher.

Before going to Aba last time, he heard Liu Bei say that Wang Laoshi had been to the Hangcheng airport. Almost 50 days had passed in a blink of an eye, he was a bit worried, so he simply took advantage of the time to make a call to ask.

"Ding-a-ling...."

"Ding-a-ling..."

"..."

The bell rang 5 times before being picked up, and a female voice burping came from the other side, "Hello, who is this?"

"Teacher, it's me." Li Heng reported his name.

Wang Runwen frowned, immediately waking up, "At this hour, you aren't sleeping, you're calling, is something up?"

"Nothing, just haven't contacted you for a long time, suddenly wanted to talk to you." Li Heng said.

Wang Runwen crossed her legs and said: "Then fart if you have something to say, I want to drink."

Li Heng was speechless: "Teacher, chatting like this will kill the conversation."

Wang Runwen didn't care at all, sneering: "Chatting with you? I don't care for it."

Li Heng poked her heart and asked: "Really don't care for it? Then why did you go to the Hangcheng airport?"

Wang Runwen suddenly got angry: "You're a man, why are you so nagging? No wonder Yu Shuheng is still a virgin to this day, I really despise you!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

This got angry?

Li Heng looked at the receiver in his hand and continued dialing, this time it was connected after the 6th ring.

He spoke first: "Teacher, why don't you resign? My New Future company is just right for you."

Wang Runwen shook her hair: "Send me to Jingcheng?"

Li Heng said: "Hangcheng, Hangcheng, Tianjin, and Jingcheng all have schools, choose as you like."

Wang Runwen: "What if I come to Hangcheng?"

Li Heng said: "Also quite good."

Wang Runwen narrowed her eyes and asked playfully: "Coming to Hangcheng, is it to borrow my belly to give you a child?"

Li Heng's heart jumped, "Really resigned, I'll come pick you up."

"Get lost!"

Wang Runwen scolded angrily: "You shameless thing, Yu Shuheng's university teacher status isn't enough for you to get a kick? You're aiming at me now!"

Li Heng muttered: "It's you who keep bringing this up, I didn't think much at all."

"Hehe!" Wang Runwen sneered repeatedly on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Li Heng said: "Forget it, stop messing around, let's talk about business. I'm speaking from the heart, if you aren't happy alone in Shaodong, you can go out and walk around. Anyway, Teacher, you are a high-achieving graduate of Renmin University, you don't have to worry about no way out wherever you go, right?"

Wang Runwen didn't seem to want to mention this, but asked: "When did you get back?"

"Yesterday."

"Is the scenery in Aba beautiful?"

"The scenery is beautiful, but the economy is too backward, and the weather is cold, this season is not suitable for going."

"Did you and Shuheng, did you, did you succeed?"

"Didn't you just scold 'virgin' just now? Why are you still asking?"

"I was angry just now, don't ask knowingly!"

"Hehe..."

"Shut up!"

"No." Li Heng replied.

"Why, don't dare to touch her? Or is it because of Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Chen Zijin?" Wang Runwen asked several questions in a row.

"All of them." Li Heng said honestly.

Wang Runwen fell silent upon hearing this, and after a long while changed the receiver from her left hand to her right: "How is your new book coming along?"

Li Heng said: "Haven't started writing yet, planning to start recently."

Wang Runwen asked: "Tusi theme?"

Li Heng asked back: "Has Yu Laoshi contacted you?"

Wang Runwen said: "She is here with me, just got drunk and fell asleep by me."

"Ah?"

Li Heng was a bit confused, "When did Yu Laoshi go over?"

Wang Runwen told him: "Yesterday afternoon, hearing that Xiao Han and her mother were going to Lushan Village, she flew over to drink bitter wine with me."

Li Heng: "...."

Wang Runwen asked mockingly: "How about it? Do you dare to come over tonight? Come over, Teacher will sleep with you, Shuheng is next door, this exciting scene should satisfy you very much."

As she spoke, Wang Runwen picked up the wine glass and clinked with Yu Shuheng next to her, drinking a big mouthful.

The reason she asked a series of things about Aba just now was to set off a smoke bomb.

Yu Shuheng stared tightly at the landline, her fingers holding the wine glass exerting force unconsciously.

Li Heng: "...."

He said: "Teacher, you are drunk, go to sleep early. I'm hanging up."

"Heh! You dog thing with a thief's heart but no thief's courage!" Wang Runwen provoked him.

Li Heng didn't pay attention, said a few words and hung up.

Others don't know Yu Laoshi's drinking capacity, but he knows it. Even if Wang Laoshi is more powerful than Yu Laoshi, she is only powerful to a limited extent.

How could one be drunk and the other still be able to talk to him clearly?

When the "beep beep beep" sound came from the receiver, Wang Runwen put the receiver back, "This dog thing actually didn't fall for it."

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, turning the wine glass and saying: "Alright, daring to snatch my man openly, really getting more and more out of line."

"What do you mean your man? Don't act like a big-tailed wolf here, wasn't it you watching Xiao Han and her mother go to his house?" Wang Runwen retorted sharply.

Yu Shuheng said softly: "Talking to a wall, how do you know my pursuit?"

Wang Runwen put down the wine glass, crossed her arms: "Pursuit? I think you are aiming too high! Is it that easy to replace Song Yu's status? Don't wait until you haven't even gotten close to Song Yu, and you've already been overtaken by other women with big bellies."

Yu Shuheng said: "As long as you don't go and deliver yourself behind my back, this won't happen within 2 years, they are still studying."

Wang Runwen squinted: "You really don't have a long memory, forgot about that Great Qingyi? Her existence was told to me by you."

Yu Shuheng rarely didn't refute, falling into deep thought.

Seeing her best friend like this, Wang Runwen slowly retracted her sharp tongue and didn't speak again.
