Mai Sui was at the stairwell, carefully poking her head out: "Did Yu Laoshi leave?"

Li Heng nodded, "She left, let's go eat breakfast."

Mai Sui thought for a moment, returned to the second floor, went to the balcony, and moved her two pairs of underwear to the back balcony at the fastest speed.

It was too cold last night, she hadn't paid much attention, thinking that since Yu Laoshi wasn't home anyway, she just hung them out casually.

As for whether Shihe and the others would discover the clues, she didn't care that much anymore; the three of them were well aware of this.

Li Heng stood in the middle of the alley, looking at all this, unable to laugh or cry.

He thought to himself, Comrade Mai Sui, oh Comrade Mai Sui, you're too late, the wise Yu Laoshi had already seen through the inside story.

Yu Shuheng returned to her own home, saw that the clothes and pants on the opposite balcony were gone in the second-floor living room, she smiled, sighing that Mai Sui was still relatively pure. If it were Xiao Han, she would probably be wishing for this.

When the two went out, they happened to run into Zhou Shihe and her aunt also going out.

The four met, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked together toward Chunhua Noodle Shop.

The aunt asked Mai Sui: "Which day are you and Li Heng going back? Have you bought the train tickets? Do you want me to buy them for you?"

Mai Sui looked at Li Heng, meaning that he should make the decision.

Li Heng answered: "Thank you, Aunt, we are leaving on the 18th. As for the tickets, we'll see when the time comes, we might take a plane."

Zhou's aunt knew of Yu Shuheng's existence, so she didn't say anything more at the moment and followed the three into the noodle shop.

After finally finding a seat, Li Heng shouted: "Sister Chunhua, two beef noodles, one extra spicy, one medium spicy, and also..."

He blinked at Zhou Shihe.

Zhou Shihe understood: "A bowl of pork rib noodles, slightly spicy; a clear soup wonton."

Liu Chunhua kept it in mind and began to get busy.

Zhou's aunt looked around: "This is a newly opened noodle shop, right? Why is the business so good?"

Zhou Shihe said: "Mainly because the taste is good."

"Oh, since you say the taste is good, then it must be quite good, then I must have a good taste today." Zhou's aunt still had a good idea about her eldest niece, who was usually quite particular, and generally, ordinary things couldn't catch her eye.

The noodles and wontons were served.

Zhou's aunt lowered her head to eat a wonton, then took a sip of the soup, and was immediately conquered, praising: "This soup is delicious, the taste is indeed not bad."

Then the aunt turned to the pork rib noodles floating with a layer of red oil: "Shihe, when did you start being able to eat spicy food?"

Zhou Shihe said: "After being with Sui Sui and the others for a long time, I slowly learned."

Just as the four were chatting while eating breakfast, Sun Xiaozhang came in, and he patted Li Heng on the shoulder.

Li Heng turned his head, full of surprise: "Principal, why did you come too?"

Sun Xiaozhang said meaningfully: "Ziyue kept praising this breakfast shop for being delicious, so I came over to have a taste."

Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui, who were next to him, shouted one after another: Principal.

Sun Xiaozhang looked at Mai Sui, then at Zhou Shihe, nodded with a smile, then looked at Mai Sui carefully again, and finally asked Li Heng: "Do you drink morning liquor?"

Li Heng shook his head: "Morning liquor? I've heard of this thing, but never touched it."

Sun Xiaozhang magically took a bottle of Fenjiu out of his pocket, "Shall we drink a little together?"

Li Heng blurted out: "I have class today?"

Sun Xiaozhang smiled maliciously: "As far as I know, the last class of your semester ended last Friday, did you skip class again?"

Li Heng felt ashamed: "I want to go to the library to read books and review my lessons."

Sun Xiaozhang patted him on the shoulder again, "If you had said writing, I would have turned around and left immediately."

Well, there was no way out, Li Heng moved his seat a little, brought two cups over, and even helped the principal order a bowl of beef noodles.

Sun Xiaozhang asked the other three at the table, "Do you want to drink a little together?"

Li Heng stopped him, "Don't, just harm me, don't harm the big girls."

Sun Xiaozhang smiled and began to coax him to drink, one cup after another.

By the end, Mai Sui and the other two had finished eating and left, but the two were still drinking.

When there was no one around, Li Heng lowered his voice and said: "Tell me, old Principal, are you looking for me for something?"

Sun Xiaozhang looked around, his expression becoming a bit more serious: "Is Ziyue pursuing you?"

Li Heng already had a bit of drunkenness at this moment, and his courage to speak was much greater: "Don't worry, she can't catch me."

Sun Xiaozhang felt a bit unhappy, "What? Are you inlaid with gold? You don't even look down on her?"

Li Heng was speechless.

Was this confirming a sentence: I can say bad things about my own alma mater, I can slander it at will, but outsiders can't.

Or just turn against them and not recognize them.

Regarding Sun Xiaozhang's old-fashioned impropriety, he had already deeply experienced it on the grass last time, and hearing this slightly rogue "What?", he wasn't surprised at all.

Li Heng turned the wine glass in his hand: "Look, you're anxious again. If I said I liked her, I guess you'd be even more anxious. Isn't this making things difficult for me? Then you tell me, should I like her, or should I not?"

A bit of a chatterbox, throwing this thorny problem back.

Sun Xiaozhang was almost dizzy, a bit defeated, weighed it, and said: "It's better not to like her."

Li Heng said: "Isn't that it? Honestly, your precious granddaughter doesn't know how to chase men at all, every time she chases me, she brings up your name, saying you invited me to dinner, saying you want to match us up..."

"Fart!" Sun Xiaozhang was anxious.

Li Heng raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

Sun Xiaozhang pointed his finger at him, then smiled too: "You kid is full of bad intentions, forcing me to curse, forget it, the old man hasn't cursed for many years, it's refreshing!"

After the words fell, the old and the young drank another cup happily.

After finishing a cup, Sun Xiaozhang asked spiritedly: "Can you still drink?"

Li Heng answered: "A bit dizzy."

Sun Xiaozhang immediately switched to a look of contempt: "Drink, I'll help you call a girl over to take care of you later."

Li Heng followed up: "Who are you calling? I don't want anyone who isn't beautiful."

Just at this time, Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing came in, Sun Xiaozhang said: "These two have a good relationship with you."

Li Heng looked back and said: "Don't always pay so much attention to me."

Sun Xiaozhang corrected: "This is gossip."

Li Heng: "..."

Sun Xiaozhang laughed: "There aren't many things in this era that can make me talk about them with relish, your scandals are one of my side dishes for wine."

Speaking of this, Sun Xiaozhang suddenly thought of something, lowered his voice: "I was on the phone with the Peking University principal yesterday, and he told me your girlfriend is at Peking University? He said he would get you to Peking University for a master's and doctorate after graduation, he almost made me dizzy."

The old man had a look of curiosity: "Do you also have a girlfriend at Peking University?"

"Shh!"

Li Heng held his middle finger in the center of his mouth, "Lower your voice, this occasion is not right."

Sun Xiaozhang was anxious: "Is there or isn't there?"

Things had reached this point, Li Heng had long been mentally prepared, and with a look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he indicated: "Anyway, in your heart, I guess I'm the kind of person who is completely bad, not a good person, and besides, I'm also a man of letters, it's not worth making such a big fuss about having an extra confidante."

Sun Xiaozhang smiled: "Heh! You still have self-knowledge. Aren't you afraid this news will spread to Fudan?"

Li Heng felt a bit of fear and said: "Sooner or later there will be such a day, now I rely more on Yu Laoshi to spread the word at Peking University to confuse the public. Sigh, drag it out as long as I can."

Sun Xiaozhang mocked: "You make it sound like you're quite aggrieved."

Li Heng didn't make a sound.

Sun Xiaozhang stared at him for a long while, and finally, he said earnestly: "If you want to land safely in this life, Yu Laoshi is the most suitable for you."

The underlying meaning is: if you want to avoid ruining your reputation in this life, it's best to marry Yu Laoshi home, the Yu family has the energy to help him settle all right and wrong.

Sun Xiaozhang advised this because he was friends with Shen Xin and learned that Shen Xin liked this bad kid very much, otherwise he wouldn't have opened his mouth.

Of course, for that kind of family, with Li Heng's current status, having a few more confidantes really isn't a big problem, at most it counts as a lack of private morality. Moreover, he is a man of letters, a musician who has made a great reputation internationally, it's understandable that his emotions are a bit more abundant than ordinary people, and it can be tolerated to a certain extent.

After all, whether it's a man of letters or a musician, they all eat by deep emotions and inspiration, which is one of the reasons why people engaged in these two lines of work are more sentimental in ancient and modern times.

There is an old saying that goes like this: every time a man of letters talks about a relationship, his inspiration will erupt once. If he guards a relationship to the death, I guess the source of creation will come to an end.

The reason Sun Xiaozhang said this was because he could see that it was true that the kid in front of him was talented, but he was also not restrained at all in being a playboy, with great beauties entangled one after another, I'm afraid he wasn't that eager to marry Yu Laoshi.

Regarding this old man's suggestion, Li Heng rarely didn't refute it immediately, but changed the subject and asked: "Are you here to drink with me, or to persuade me to marry a wife?"

Sun Xiaozhang said: "Both."

Li Heng asked: "Are you sure I would come here for breakfast?"

Sun Xiaozhang said: "Not sure, but you are indeed a person of love and righteousness."

Li Heng joked with a smile: "Yo! The evaluation is not bad, why don't you hand Huang Ziyue over to me?"

Sun Xiaozhang exploded instantly, tapped the table with his finger, and threatened directly: "If you dare to touch her, even if I dismantle all my bones, I won't let you have a good time."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "Then you should take care of her, what if she uses some means to drug me one day?"

"..." Sun Xiaozhang was speechless.

If he could control that naughty granddaughter, why would he run over to threaten Li Heng with a long face?

Moreover, he could see that the kid in front of him wasn't threatened by him at all.

Taking a step back, with Yu Shuheng around, he could only say some scene words, it wasn't easy to really tear his face off.

They had long since parted on bad terms, and before leaving, Sun Xiaozhang said angrily: "Don't be proud, after you finish the exam, let's compare again."

This comparison refers to drinking again.

Li Heng grinned: "I'll leave after the exam."

Sun Xiaozhang said: "After the year is fine too."

Li Heng said: "After the year I'll run to Peking University."

Sun Xiaozhang stood up with his hands behind his back: "The monk can run, but the temple can't."

Sun Xiaozhang's implication was: Yu Laoshi is here, confidante Mai Sui is at Fudan, official girlfriend Xiao Han is in Shanghai, three trump cards are in hand, I forgive you kid for not daring to fly to Peking University.

Sun Xiaozhang left.

Li Heng ran to pay the bill dizzy, Liu Chunhua wanted to say she didn't want his money, but after making contact with his eyes, the words didn't come out.

She realized: if she didn't take Li Heng's money, I guess he wouldn't come again later. That would be a heavy blow to the noodle shop business.

When Liu Chunhua took the money, she was thinking that she would have to make up for it in other aspects later.

Li Heng pointed vaguely at Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing at the table at the door, "Settle theirs together too."

Liu Chunhua understood.

Li Heng asked: "How is Lao Yong's health?"

Liu Chunhua replied: "I called Li Ran last night to ask, she said the recovery is not bad, he can come over in a day or two."

Li Heng was happy and asked again: "Which day are you going back?"

Liu Chunhua said: "I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient to travel, I might not go home this year."

Li Heng was surprised but not surprised: "Are you spending the New Year here?"

Liu Chunhua said that was the case.

Li Heng asked: "I won't be home during the winter break, why don't you two go to Lushan Village for the New Year? There's nothing missing there, it's good for the child in your belly."

Liu Chunhua was a person who knew how to advance and retreat, shook her head: "Thank you. No need, Lao Yong and I have discussed it, we plan to spend the New Year upstairs."

Li Heng looked up at the second floor, "The second floor is also rented?"

Liu Chunhua said: "Rented together, I'll rest upstairs at night."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng didn't force it anymore, thought for a moment, then took out paper and pen to write a number, handed it to her, and instructed: "If you encounter anything during the winter break, if you can't solve it yourself, call this number, you just need to report Lao Yong's name."

This number, he originally wanted to write the big Qingyi's, but in the end, what he wrote was Yu Laoshi's home phone number.

He didn't want outsiders to know about his relationship with the big Qingyi yet.

Liu Chunhua happily put the note away and said thank you several times. She understood that this was a protective talisman, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

With this note, she felt inexplicably much more at ease in Shanghai.

Turning around and coming to the door, Li Heng sat down next to Wei Xiaozhu, supported his head with his left hand and said: "Dizzy from drinking, resting here for a while, please don't mind."

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Qingqing and I saw it early on."

Li Heng asked: "How did you see it? Is my face very red?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Not only is your face red, but your steps are also not very steady."

"Alright, you all guessed it." Li Heng rubbed his face with his right hand and asked: "Are you adapting to the taste?"

Wei Xiaozhu said: "It's quite delicious, just a bit spicy."

Li Heng smiled: "Order clear soup next time."

Wei Xiaozhu betrayed her friend directly, "Qingqing said she wanted to try the original flavor of your Xiangnan, so we ordered medium spicy."

Li Heng aimed at Dai Qing and spat out two words: "Hero."

Not wanting slightly spicy, going straight for medium spicy, if that's not a hero, what is?

Meeting his gaze, Dai Qing felt as if her little thoughts were seen through by him, the whole person was a bit unnatural, and she lowered her head a bit.

There were many students coming for breakfast, coming in and out, the three didn't stay in the shop for long, fearing it would affect their business, so they left after eating.

When crossing the road to enter the school gate, Wei Xiaozhu was a bit worried: "Do you want us to send you back to Lushan Village?"

Li Heng glanced at a car a hundred meters away, waved his hand: "No need, the road is not far, I can go back by myself."

Seeing him insist, Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing left.

Li Heng entered the school gate, and after a while, quietly left the school gate again, walking toward the Santana a hundred meters away.

Arriving in front of the car, he pulled open the back door and sat in.

The person in the driver's seat was Gong Min, the person in charge of Fuchun Xiaoyuan, she took a document and some photos out of her pocket and handed them to him: "This is a villa in Xu Hui, Mr. Li, please take a look and see if you are satisfied?"

Li Heng took the document and photos to take a look, and asked after a long time: "Wukang Road?"

Gong Min said: "Yes, not far from your teacher's house, just about 100 meters away."

"You put your heart into it." Li Heng flipped through the photos twice and was very satisfied.

Seeing the expression on his face, Gong Min pulled her right hand out of her briefcase. Actually, she didn't just prepare one property this time, but she felt Mr. Li might take a fancy to this small western-style building, so she didn't take them all out at once.

Li Heng asked: "How much money?"

Strictly following Huang Zhaoyi's instructions, Gong Min didn't say the money directly, but answered tactfully: "Still discussing."

It seems the money is not a small number, Li Heng knew she didn't want to say it, there must be a reason, so he didn't get to the bottom of it, "Buy it, it's quite good."

Gong Min kept these words in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "How is the relationship between Zhaoyi and her family now?"

Gong Min was, after all, an old person who had followed Huang Zhaoyi for more than ten years, and their relationship had long been as close as sisters, otherwise she wouldn't have pushed her to her side.

Therefore, he felt the other party should know a little bit before asking.

Gong Min really knew some, and replied: "Sister Huang and her family's relationship is not too good, she hasn't been home much in the past half year. Her mother has also come to the shop to find me several times, all with anger."

Li Heng had an idea, didn't mention it anymore, opened the door and got out of the car, and walked away.

Gong Min turned around and drove back, she occasionally glanced at the gradually shrinking figure through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but worry for Sister Huang in her heart: so many years younger, looks like a playboy, can Sister Huang hold onto him?

Returning to Lushan Village, Li Heng didn't go anywhere, went straight to knock on the door of the 25th small building.

Yu Shuheng hadn't rested well for the past two days, was a bit sleepy, was sleeping in the room and asked from inside the door: "Delivering breakfast to me?"

Li Heng wasn't holding a pile of breakfast, shook it, passed her, and walked in.

Going up to the second floor, he put the breakfast on the coffee table. Yu Shuheng sat opposite him and ate by herself.

While eating, seeing him staring at her without blinking, Yu Shuheng said meaningfully: "Little brother, why are you looking at me like this? Want to eat someone?"

Li Heng came back to his senses and said: "Teacher's scholarly temperament is really good, very intellectual, very beautiful."

Yu Shuheng glanced at him and asked back: "Discovered it on the first day?"

Li Heng leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs and said: "Haven't looked so carefully before."

Yu Shuheng narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura flashed by: "Have already touched it several times, now you say you haven't looked carefully?"

Li Heng knew he was in the wrong, shut his mouth and didn't speak.

After her gaze stayed on him for a while, Yu Shuheng didn't care anymore, and ate breakfast slowly again, her behavior extremely elegant.

Until she was almost finished, she took a sip of hot tea and said: "You can say it."

These words were headless and brainless, but Li Heng understood, and told the story of the heartless person and Liu Chunhua in one breath, "I left your number with Sister Chunhua, when I'm not here during the winter break, Teacher, please keep an eye on it for me."

Yu Shuheng raised her head and spoke unhurriedly: "Why? Changed your mind? Want to leave me in Shanghai during the winter break, not take me back?"

Li Heng: "..."

He said: "Teacher won't spend the New Year at my house."

Yu Shuheng joked: "If you keep me, I can."

Li Heng felt a chill down his spine, thinking to himself, how dare I open my mouth to say this, going to the black-bellied wife's house, Zijin might come back, leave you to play mahjong with them?

Although he didn't really hope for this in his heart, he certainly wouldn't lose his stance verbally, he said: "I'll fly over on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, if Teacher goes to my hometown for the New Year, can we be companions?"

Yu Shuheng's heart skipped a beat: "Why is it earlier?"

Li Heng said: "Agreed with Shihe on the fourth day, to practice music. I need a day to travel, so I have to leave on the third."

The air became a bit cold, Yu Shuheng returned to her expressionless face and said faintly: "I know."

This "I know", I don't know if it's about going home? Or about Liu Chunhua?

But one thing is very certain, Yu Laoshi is chasing people away.

Li Heng stood up tactfully and walked toward the stairs.

Yu Shuheng watched his back steadily, her heart mixed with five flavors. It's really what you fear comes, Zhou Shihe is the person she least wants to see in her heart.

Returning home, Li Heng first dozed off on the sofa for a while, and after he was a bit sober, he found his books and went to the library.

Starting today, he wants to be a good student, launching the final charge for the final exam.

It had been a year and a half, and this was the first time he had come to the library seriously, Li Heng looked as he walked, his eyes full of novelty.

His eyes were full of novelty, and the eyes of the surrounding alumni were even more surprised.

Those passing by couldn't help but glance at him a few times, secretly saying why did this one come to the library? It's really rare.

Second-floor large self-study room, Li Heng pushed the door and entered, feeling dazed.

This!

There are too many people here, damn it.

Looking at it, it was all heads, and it was messily piled with books, exactly the same as the scene when he ran to the library in his previous life.

Walking into the self-study room, he felt a long-lost taste, the taste of himself being like a student.

Suddenly, a hand on the left side of the first row shook violently at him.

Li Heng looked closely, ho! It turned out that this girl Sun Manning had discovered him.

There was also Ye Ning next to her.

No need to say, walked over quickly.

He asked in a low voice: "Why is it just you two, where are Mai Sui and classmate Zhou Shihe?"

Sun Manning looked unhappy: "Why? Dislike that we aren't beautiful enough? Don't want to?"

Li Heng: "..."

He said: "I'm just asking."

Sun Manning said: "There were no seats here before, they went to the management classroom."

Li Heng looked left and right, "There are no seats now either, why did you call me over?"

Sun Manning said with a smile: "I saw a big handsome guy at a glance, called him over to take a look."

Li Heng turned to leave.

Sun Manning pulled his clothes, stood up and said: "You sit, I'm tired, going out to move my body."

"Coming back?" he asked.

Sun Manning said: "Not coming back, I'm a bit greedy for braised duck, planning to go to Zhang Bing's place to buy some braised duck to eat."

"Fine." Li Heng sat down and started reading.

Sun Manning left, Ye Ning naturally couldn't stay, and ran after her. He instantly became a loner.

But he didn't care, opened the textbook by himself, and reviewed his lessons.

Don't say, the air in the self-study room was not good, but the learning atmosphere was really infectious, and he soon immersed himself in the world of books.

He forgot himself.

But the boys and girls around were a bit absent-minded, stealing glances at him from time to time, whispering to friends, or passing notes.

The words and pen tips were all secretly discussing this most famous figure in Fudan.

Many people stared at the empty seat next to him, but no one dared to come over and sit.

The blood of Senior Ye Zhanyan hadn't dried yet, and the story of loving but not getting, and going far away, was still circulating.

The most beautiful flower of the freshmen, Huang Ziyue, had hit a wall repeatedly, and had already become a new hot topic on campus.

This empty seat lasted for nearly two hours, until He Xiao, who heard the news, occupied the seat, and completely calmed the restless hearts of many young girls.

He Xiao didn't disturb him, also opened the book and studied seriously, working hard for the exam.

Time passed in a flash, and before he knew it, it was noon.

Li Heng withdrew from the world of books, only to find an acquaintance next to him, and greeted: "Hello, Senior."

He Xiao asked with a half-truth smile: "Hello. In the future, should I call you Great Writer, or Junior?"

Pfft! This is a social butterfly.

Li Heng asked back: "This depends on why Senior came?"

He Xiao didn't hide it at all: "I was originally reading in the small self-study room next door, heard the news and came."

"Fine, call me whatever you want, if you really don't know how to call me, just call 'Hey! Big handsome guy', that's fine too, I'll answer." Li Heng blurted out nonsense.

He Xiao laughed happily: "Do you talk to girls like this usually?"

Li Heng said: "Depends on the mood."

He Xiao asked: "Then you are in a good mood today?"

Li Heng said: "Not bad."

He Xiao checked her watch: "If you are in a good mood, then I can try to invite you to dinner." ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
