Chapter 573

Departed from Lushan Village at 4:30 in the morning.

At 7:00 in the morning, the group of 6 boarded the plane.

The plane tickets were all adjacent.

Xiao Han sat with Li Heng very naturally.

Sun Manning secretly curled her lip, pulled Mai Sui to sit on the other side of the aisle, trying to stay as far away from that pair of scoundrels as possible.

In the end, only Zhang Haiyan and Yangcheng were left together.

As soon as her bottom was settled, Zhang Haiyan asked Yangcheng sneakily: "Hey, what's going on here? Why do I feel the atmosphere is weird?"

Yangcheng's expression was exaggerated: "Oh my! We're all adults, your college entrance exam score is so much higher than this handsome guy's, can you stop playing dumb?"

Zhang Haiyan stole a glance at Mai Sui: "I heard rumors that Li Heng and Mai Sui are ambiguously involved?"

Yangcheng shook his head: "I don't know about that."

Zhang Haiyan was anxious: "Then what did your words just now mean?"

Yangcheng shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhang Haiyan was disgusted: "No wonder you're as fat as a ball, it turns out you know nothing; you're fat because you're carefree."

"If you talk to me like that, I won't be happy. Is this a ball? This is a blessing, automatically attracting senior sisters to sleep on my belly; it's still better than you drugging boys." As long as it wasn't a great beauty, Yangcheng wouldn't put up with it and retorted directly.

Zhang Haiyan was unhappy: "You heard that too?"

Yangcheng patted his bottom: "Your glorious deeds have become a legend; let me tell you, you are very famous in our school."

Xiao Han magically took a piece of dark chocolate out of her pocket, peeled it, and sent it to his mouth, saying crisply:

"My husband, take a bite."

Li Heng was curious: "I remember you don't like eating snacks, when did you buy this?"

Xiao Han said with a smile: "Buy what? I didn't buy it, I took it from the cabinet under the TV."

"I discovered there were still many inside, and there was even a new, unopened box. I thought you liked eating them, so I just brought it back."

Li Heng: "..."

This dark chocolate was something he had given to Mai Sui.

He didn't expect this wife to be so black-bellied, making an issue out of it so easily.

Under her smiling gaze, Li Heng had no choice but to take a big bite.

Seeing this, Xiao Han stuffed the other half into her own mouth.

Then, as if performing magic, she took another 8 pieces of chocolate out of her pocket and distributed them to Yangcheng, Zhang Haiyan, Sun Manning, and Mai Sui respectively.

Yangcheng and Zhang Haiyan didn't know why, but they accepted them very happily. After all, dark chocolate isn't cheap these days and belongs to the category of small luxuries.

When it was Sun Manning's turn, the girl frowned, wanting to refuse outright, but considering Li Heng was there, she accepted it in the end.

Mai Sui, however, acted much more calmly, said thank you, and accepted it too. But she didn't eat it; she put it aside and closed her eyes to sleep.

She hadn't closed her eyes all night last night, and she was very sleepy now, urgently needing to catch up on sleep.

Of course, Mai Sui didn't want to watch that man and woman show off their affection, so she simply dozed off.

After distributing the chocolates, Xiao Han sighed.

Li Heng asked: "Why are you sighing?"

Xiao Han whispered in his ear: "Look at Madam Mai's eyelids, she's exhausted; she probably didn't close her eyes last night."

"Sigh, just now this beauty was reflecting, it seems Madam Mai's combat power is so worrying, did I throw a punch too heavily?"

A chill ran down Li Heng's back.

So this black-bellied wife isn't even pretending anymore, directly calling her "Madam Mai"!

He looked at his nose and his heart, not revealing any flaws, "Day by day, don't be so combative."

After pretending, she had to stop while she was ahead; Xiao Han hurriedly added happily like a sycophant:

"Yes, yes, yes! Madam Mai is smart and beautiful, and also very polite; every time I go to Lushan Village, she vacates the room, I really shouldn't bully her."

Li Heng's lips parted, and just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly kissed by her like lightning.

He was stunned and asked incredulously: "God! Have you grown bold? You dare to kiss me in this situation?"

Xiao Han blushed, lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled, then buried her head in his arms, playing the ostrich.

Internally, however, she was screaming crazily: I've been sarcastic for so long, if I don't kiss you, I'll be criticized, right? Compared to losing face and being criticized by my husband, I'd rather lose face.

Sigh, this is the typical style of a black-bellied wife, quirky and strange.

He couldn't out-talk her, couldn't bear to scold her, and hitting her was even more out of the question.

Li Heng had absolutely no way to deal with her.

Sun Manning had been secretly observing the behavior of Xiao Han and Li Heng, and seeing Xiao Han kiss the corner of Li Heng's mouth, she immediately said angrily in Mai Sui's ear:

"That vixen Xiao Han's methods are too powerful, and she's bullying people too much. Mai Sui, say the word, and I'll go over and beat her up right now."

Mai Sui asked softly: "Do you dare to hit her in front of Li Heng?"

Sun Manning gestured with both hands: "Are you made of paper? You hold Li Heng, and I'll beat her."

Mai Sui felt a bit dizzy: "You two are about the same height, you might not be able to beat her."

Sun Manning asked: "What a coincidence, is she also 166?"

Mai Sui grunted: "Usually when I see you standing together, you feel about the same height."

Sun Manning was depressed: "I can't watch this anymore, she's too good at seducing men. When will you show some spirit?

If it really doesn't work, just sleep with Li Heng; with your charm, I guarantee Li Heng will want to be on top of you every day, and then where would that vixen have any say?"

Hearing these tiger-wolf words, Mai Sui felt a bit shy, turned her head toward the plane window, and simply chose to ignore it.

Because she hadn't slept all night, the heavy-hearted Mai Sui finally endured and slowly entered dreamland.

By the time she was shaken awake, the plane had already reached the sky above Huanghua Airport, and the flight attendants were announcing on the broadcast that the plane was descending...

The weather in Xiangnan has changed.

Coming out of the airport, the winter sky made it impossible to distinguish the horizon; apart from the gray earth, there was nothing left but cigarette boxes and paper scraps flying wildly in the north wind. This year's temperature seemed to be a few degrees colder than last year.

Due to the shrewdness of his black-bellied wife, he didn't dare to notify Huang Zhaoyi to drive to pick them up in Changsha.

The group could only take a bus to the city's South Bus Station, then eat a sloppy lunch, and then rush to the waiting room.

There were many people at the bus station, and people were still sweating profusely in the cold winter. Every person's eyes flashed with excitement; this kind of lively noise and the joy of rushing home could only be experienced among the crowds returning home.

In this era, returning home is not easy; the New Year has become the only wish for wanderers away from home, just like migratory birds migrating or fish returning to spawn. Even if it means traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers, one must return to the hometown that gave birth to and raised them, to see their parents, see their wives and children, smoke a few cigarettes with neighbors, set off a few strings of firecrackers, and eat a New Year's Eve dinner.

No matter where you are at the ends of the earth, no matter who you are, no matter what position you hold, or whether you have money in your pocket, the moment you step on the journey home, there is only one thought in your mind: I am going home.

Following the flow of people moving at a turtle's pace, the group of 6 finally passed through the waiting room and boarded the bus back to Shaoshi.

"Oh my mother! Every time I go home, I lose two pounds of meat; there are just too many people."

As soon as she got on the bus, while Sun Manning breathed a sigh of relief, she began her day-after-day crazy complaining.

The closer she got to home, the heavier Mai Sui's mood became. She sat quietly by the bus window, looking at the desolate street scene outside, and her whole person became gray and dejected.

Sun Manning, who was always carefree, also noticed her best friend's abnormality, reached out to wrap her arm around her shoulder and asked: "What's wrong with you? You've been silent all the way.

Let me tell you, the more you are like this, the happier your love rival will be.

Haven't you noticed? Xiao Han has been very proactive all the way, and Li Heng simply can't get away to comfort you."

Mai Sui couldn't help but glance at Li Heng, who was being held by the hand by Xiao Han, and said gently: "I don't blame him."

Sun Manning caught her best friend for a fierce look, and finally said hatefully:

"Dealing with Xiao the Vixen, it seems I can't count on you. I hope Song Yu won't be as weak as you, otherwise I'll be worried to death for you two."

It would have been fine not to mention Song Yu, but once Song Yu was mentioned, Mai Sui didn't want to talk much again, "I'm still very sleepy, I'll doze off for a while, you keep an eye on the luggage."

"Sleep, sleep, with me here, let's see which blind pickpocket dares to come looking for death; I'll definitely smash him to death with my big breasts." Sun Manning tried to make her best friend happy in her own way.

Mai Sui: "..."

It takes three or four hours from Changsha to Shaoshi.

Halfway there, Xiao Han, feeling a bit cold, found a blue scarf from her luggage bag. She tied half of it on herself and the other half on Li Heng's neck. She rested her head on his shoulder, chatting and laughing with him, and time passed quickly.

While Li Heng was talking to his black-bellied wife, he occasionally observed Mai Sui in the back seat through the reflection in the glass, caring about every move Mai Sui made.

Just before arriving in Shaoshi, Xiao Han suddenly whispered crisply in his ear:

"Mr. Li, in the reflection of the glass, is your wife the prettiest one on the whole bus?"

Well, he was caught red-handed.

He really wanted to ask: Are you a monkey? Why are you so sharp?

Li Heng replied: "That goes without saying, don't look at whose wife she is, right?"

He was thinking: You two are both my wives, I said that, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?

Xiao Han's eyes curved into crescent shapes, having figured out his little thoughts clearly.

However, a smart woman never breaks the window paper directly; stopping at the right point is the highest realm.

When getting off at the Shaoshi bus station, Xiao Han took the initiative to say to Zhang Haiyan: "Haiyan, I'm a bit thirsty, accompany me to buy a bottle of soda."

"Okay." Zhang Haiyan didn't think much and followed her best friend to the small shop.

Yangcheng also had a good eye for things and hurriedly followed: "I'm thirsty too, I want to buy soda too, I'll be your bodyguard."

Three out of six left, and instantly only Li Heng, Mai Sui, and Sun Manning were left on the spot.

Sun Manning looked at Xiao Han's departing back, her lips twitched, not knowing what she wanted to say?

Li Heng pulled Mai Sui into a corner where no one was, and then regardless, without saying anything, he hugged her.

Just with this hug, Mai Sui felt warm in her heart, all distracting thoughts disappeared instantly, her whole heart became completely steady, and she also reached out to hug him back.

"Oh my mother! Oh my young master and grandmother, how dare you, hugging here?" Sun Manning followed, then hurriedly stood on tiptoe, using her body to block the two, and then poked her head out to look around, fearing that a passerby would appear.

This girl might have a sharp tongue usually, but she was still very reliable.

She knew Li Heng's fame; in the one-third of an acre of Shaoshi, he might be recognized, and then there would be big trouble.

Therefore, even at the risk of being beaten by Li Heng and Mai Sui, Sun Manning still fulfilled her best friend's wishes and guarded the two for a while.

Li Heng didn't care about this girl, used his hand to stroke Mai Sui's face back and forth, and instructed with heartache: "Then I'll go back first, on the 20th, I'll come to Shaoshi to find you."

On the 19th, he had to go to the Xiao family and couldn't get away. He could only come over on the 20th.

Mai Sui understood what he meant, smiled tenderly and said: "Okay, then I'll postpone returning to Shaodong for a few days."

Li Heng nodded and let her go.

Mai Sui followed by withdrawing her hand and urged: "Go, don't let Xiao Han wait too long."

Li Heng and Mai Sui understood: Xiao Han buying soda was true, the excuse was also true, and making space for the two to talk and say goodbye was also true.

As for why Xiao Han, who had shown off her affection so high-profile all the way, would suddenly have such a big turn? Outsiders couldn't figure out her true thoughts; only she herself knew.

Sun Manning also knew that Xiao Han was letting go.

So she, who had been scolding her all the way behind her back, felt particularly complicated at this moment, hard to describe.

This big girl felt: If she were Xiao Han, in order to fight for Li Heng, she would probably be even more high-profile, and she wouldn't let her man stay alone with a love rival at a critical moment.

Sun Manning suddenly understood a little: No wonder she was able to snatch Li Heng from Song Yu first; her methods were truly terrifyingly brilliant. Mai Sui should have been jealous and hateful of Xiao Han. But her last move was too beautiful, both open-minded and generous; whoever it was, they couldn't hate her.

After all, Xiao Han was first, Mai Sui was a latecomer; on the road of love, whoever takes the first step possesses the legal right.

Thinking of this, Sun Manning thought of her best friend Chen Zijin, and sighed silently, sigh, another one who didn't fight, the man was snatched away by Xiao Han alive.

Watching Li Heng leave, Sun Manning said to her best friend: "Let's go, looking at it again will just make you upset. I agreed with my dad to meet at the entrance of the second restaurant on the right side of the station exit, let's go over."

Mai Sui said okay.

Xiao Han returned from the grocery store and handed him a bottle of soda.

She asked: "Mr. Li, are we going home now?"

The implication was: Has your old flame been dealt with? Can we go home now?

Li Heng was speechless.

He asked: "Where is Haiyan? Did she leave?"

Xiao Han said: "Haiyan met her family coming to pick her up, so she left directly. She asked me to tell you: Happy New Year."

He nodded, looked at his watch and said: "It's getting late, we have to hurry and get on the bus."

It was indeed getting late; there was less than 10 minutes left until the last bus from Shaoshi to the neighboring Jin Shi Town.

That's right, it was to the neighboring Jin Shi Town.

There was only one bus to Qianzhen in the afternoon, and it was long gone, so they could only take the bus to the neighboring small town. Because Jin Shi Town is the center of the north side of the county, it is much larger than the surrounding small towns, and it was once planned to be the county seat, but for some reason, it was shelved later.

The three of them carried their luggage and rushed wildly toward the familiar corner in their memory.

Their luck was not bad; the bus was still there.

Even luckier, there were not many passengers on the bus; including the driver and conductor, there were only 12 people.

The conductor asked: "Where are you three going?"

Xiao Han, who was in the front, said: "Get off at Fuximiao."

The three of them had almost full-price tickets, and the conductor helped them move their luggage very enthusiastically.

The driver looked at Xiao Han several times, finally his gaze stayed on Li Heng, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you three college students?"

Speaking of college students, Yangcheng was the most flamboyant, wishing the whole world knew they were college students, and answered loudly: "Yes, master, we study in Shanghai, just came back for winter break."

Li Heng and Xiao Han looked at each other, both helpless and amused; this idiot is really flamboyant wherever he goes, never low-key.

Hearing that they were college students studying in a big place like Shanghai, the people on the bus all turned their heads and looked over with a swish.

College students in this era are almost like watching a Western play, very rare, and being able to see three at once, everyone couldn't help but be curious.

The driver stared at Li Heng, his eyes shining as he asked: "If I'm not mistaken, is this the legendary great writer? Is it?"

Before Li Heng could answer, Yangcheng hugged his waist and abdomen very happily and asked: "Master, do you know my brother?"

Li Heng: "..."

Xiao Han: "..."

The driver shook his head: "I don't know him, but I hear fellow drivers talking about him every day. Over the past two years, my ears have developed calluses from listening."

Yangcheng patted Li Heng's chest and said very proudly: "Authentic, this is the legendary great writer reported on the News Broadcast!"

Hearing this, the bus instantly fell into dead silence, everyone staring at Li Heng in a daze, sizing him up, wanting to see what was different about him?

It is said that the great writer Li Heng is a legendary literary star descended to earth, with three heads and six arms, eloquent, and incomparably handsome.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that three heads and six arms must be hearsay, it must be fake, otherwise wouldn't he be a monster?

However, Li Heng's appearance and temperament did not disappoint, very much in line with everyone's expectations.

The conductor wanted to collect money, but the driver scolded with a smile: "You dead woman, you only know how to collect money. He is a literary star, it's a blessing that he can sit in our car, it gives us so much face in the county, what money do you want."

The driver was telling the truth.

In the one-third of an acre of Huixian County, he didn't dare to take Li Heng out to brag, after all, Li Heng is from Qianzhen.

But once he left Huixian County and went to Shaoshi or other places, ho, then Li Heng is the capital for these drivers to show off.

People from other places often ask when they open their mouths: "I heard your Huixian County produced an incredible person, he was on the News Broadcast, on the People's Daily, have you seen the real person?"

The driver and others hadn't seen the real Li Heng, but at this time, they must say they had, because this is very, very face-saving, and even their voices when talking to relatives and friends became a few decibels louder.

Blocked by her husband, the conductor reacted, laughed and said: "I forgot, I was possessed, the literary star's money certainly cannot be collected."

Later, no matter how Li Heng tried to pay, they really didn't collect it, firmly refusing.

Even Xiao Han and Yangcheng's bus fare was waived, saying they were college students and would become the pillars of the country in the future. Anyway, they wouldn't take it no matter what.

Regarding this, Yangcheng was overjoyed, wishing he could hug Li Heng's face and take a few bites, oh my goodness! This is too face-saving, wishing this journey was as long as possible, it's too damn glorious.

Along the way, Yangcheng fully exerted his social skills, constantly chatting and bragging with the grandpas and grandmas and other heroes on the bus.

Whenever asked about Li Heng, this guy spared no effort to serve up flattery, almost blowing him up into a fairy. The people on the bus were not only not disgusted but listened with great interest, everyone participating, talking all at once, spitting flying, the atmosphere was quite explosive.

The cunning Xiao Han appeared very well-behaved at this time, not being ambiguous with Li Heng. After all, the rumors about Mr. Li and the noble daughter of the Chen family were already boiling, she didn't dare, and couldn't let her honey fall into unfavorable scandals again.

She would rather wrong herself than put her man in an unjust position; she had to maintain her man's reputation.

They say flattery never fails, Yangcheng was naturally born to eat this bowl of rice, and he talked from Shaoshi all the way to Fuximiao, without stopping for several hours.

Before getting off the bus, Li Heng put the bus fare for the three of them on the seat, and then followed the two off the bus.

After the bus drove a distance, the conductor exclaimed: "The great writer just now put the bus fare on the seat."

Everyone leaned over to look, and sure enough, a stack of small bills was placed on the seat.

Counting it, it was exactly 20 yuan.

Someone said: "The fare for three people is only 18 yuan, you earned 2 yuan."
