~13 min read 2,416 words

"Um."

Li Heng said "um," eating the fried eggs in big mouthfuls.

Compared to his wolfing down, Zhou Shihe was relatively slow. By the time she ate the second egg into her mouth, someone had already finished long ago and was waiting for her.

Li Heng asked: "Do you want to go for a walk in the alley?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe put down her chopsticks and looked at her watch, 10:41.

It was a bit late, but she hesitated and said: "Okay."

Then the two went downstairs one after another and left the small building No. 26.

At first, neither of them spoke, both were casually admiring Lushan Village under the faint moonlight, and both were spreading their thoughts.

Li Heng was thinking: Will Song Yu come over during the Dragon Boat Festival? If she could really come over, what kind of consequences would it cause?

Zhou Shihe's mind was full of all sorts of things, but she thought most about his pursuers.

For example, Ye Zhanyan.

For example, Huang Ziyue.

For example, Wu Siyao, the most beautiful flower at Tongji University nearby.

And Dai Qing, Li Xian, Wang Ye, Huang Zhaoyi, and others...

In the past, she had a very good impression of Li Heng, feeling that he could control himself in the face of so many temptations, and was a gentleman. After all, these people were not ordinary beauties, and many of them were school-flower-level beauties.

Especially Senior Sister Ye Zhanyan and Huang Zhaoyi, who were outstandingly beautiful and beautiful to the point of bubbling.

But later, with the successive exposure of Mai Sui and Yu Laoshi, she questioned his character.

So this guy is not not lecherous, but picky.

Just as they were about to reach the alley entrance, Li Heng suddenly asked coldly: "Are you thinking about something?"

Zhou Shihe looked at his back and said: "No."

Li Heng walked six or seven steps forward, stopped at the alley entrance and asked: "Can you still walk?"

Zhou Shihe looked at the road ahead and answered gently: "Yes."

Then, the two left Lushan Village and strolled around the campus.

Coming under the statue of the great man, Li Heng looked up for a while and asked: "I remember you said last year that your grandfather respects the great man the most, and you went to Shaoshan during the New Year?"

Zhou Shihe followed and looked up: "Spent the New Year in his former residence."

Li Heng asked: "How does it feel to spend the New Year in Xiangnan?"

Zhou Shihe said: "It's okay."

In order not to make the atmosphere heavy, Li Heng kept looking for things to say: "Are you used to the food there?"

Zhou Shihe thought for a while and said: "I'm okay, I've eaten a lot of chili with Sui Sui and Manning, and I can get used to a certain degree of spiciness. However, many people in my family are not used to it, saying the food is too spicy, but afterwards they all said the food was delicious."

Li Heng turned his head to glance at her and said with a smile: "Many people are like this, saying it's spicy, but they don't want to stop their chopsticks even when their mouths are swollen."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, which happened to hit her cousins.

Li Heng asked: "How many days did you stay in Shaoshan?"

Zhou Shihe said: "3 days, returned home on the afternoon of the first day."

Li Heng said: "Is that so, then you should stay at home for one more day and come over tomorrow."

Regarding this, Zhou Shihe didn't give an answer, but looked at the statue of the great man quietly.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, the weather is still a bit cold. After a cold wind, Li Heng pulled his sleeves and said: "Let's go, let's go around from the front of Yan Garden."

Zhou Shihe didn't make a sound, silently following behind him.

When they arrived at Yan Garden, Li Heng thought of Wei Xiaozhu, looked at the teacher's accommodation building, and asked her: "Did you keep in touch during the New Year?"

He asked this question without rhyme or reason, but Zhou Shihe heard it all.

She replied: "Talked more with Sui Sui and Xiaozhu, and also made two calls to Manning."

At this point, she suddenly asked: "Is Yu Laoshi spending the New Year at your house?"

Li Heng was speechless: "Who did you hear that from? Is it that big mouth Sun Manning?"

Zhou Shihe smiled shallowly, which was considered acquiescence.

Li Heng said unpleasantly: "That girl doesn't tell the whole story. You guys definitely didn't pay each other New Year calls during the Spring Festival, otherwise you wouldn't ask this."

Zhou Shihe said: "I was in Shaoshan during the Spring Festival, it wasn't convenient, so I didn't call. It was all contacted before the New Year."

"No wonder, I just said."

Li Heng muttered dissatisfiedly: "Yu Laoshi went to my hometown, but spent the New Year with my high school teacher in Shaoshi."

Zhou Shihe was surprised, and also a bit confused?

Since she went to Shaoshi, why didn't she spend the New Year at the Li family?

Was it to take care of Xiao Han's emotions?

Or was it to consider the big picture and consider his reputation?

However, she had been to Li Heng's hometown twice in one year, why avoid this suspicion? Isn't it covering one's ears to steal a bell?

Could it be because Xiao Han spent the New Year at the Li family?

As soon as this thought arose, she denied it herself the next second.

Because Xiao Han and he were not married yet, and were only sophomore students. Regardless of the customs of any place, they couldn't tolerate a woman being so shameless.

Thinking about it, even if the Xiao family loved their daughter again, they wouldn't allow it. This was undoubtedly an act of lowering one's own value.

Although there were many questions in her heart, Zhou Shihe had no interest in getting to the bottom of it. At the same time, she also keenly sensed that this man in front of her seemed not very willing to talk more about this matter.

Skipping this topic, Zhou Shihe asked: "Will Yu Laoshi come to school tomorrow?"

Li Heng answered subconsciously: "Don't know yet, she said there was something at home, and she would try her best to come over tomorrow."

After speaking, Li Heng glanced at Zhou Shihe, intuitively feeling that this girl was testing, testing whether he and Yu Laoshi came over together?

But seeing her calm face, he felt it was his own overthinking.

Moving forward for a hundred meters, the two went around the small bridge and flowing water, and then walked back.

They didn't talk much when they came, and they kept silent when they went back. The two walked one after another to the end of the alley.

Stopping in the center of the alley, Li Heng looked at the small building No. 27, and then looked at his own small building No. 26, and asked after a while: "These teachers are probably spending the New Year in their hometowns and haven't returned yet. There's almost no one in this alley tonight. Why don't you go to Mai Sui's room?"

Staring at his profile silently for two seconds, after hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shihe said softly: "Okay, wait for me."

After the words fell, she walked to the small building No. 27, took out her key, opened the courtyard door, and walked in.

In fact, when she sent away her busy aunt, she thought that Li Heng would invite her to spend the night in the small building No. 26 tonight. After all, the two had stayed in the same room for more than 40 days, and they wouldn't have the shyness that outsiders find hard to talk about.

If it weren't for the act of stepping on the red line in the study, she wouldn't have had any hesitation when receiving the invitation just now.

Li Heng didn't follow in, just stood on the bluestone road and waited, looking up at the starry sky.

About twenty minutes passed, Zhou Shihe came out, having changed into a set of clothes from head to toe.

Li Heng glanced at her, thinking: Oh, so she went to take a bath, no wonder it took so long.

Entering the small building No. 26, Li Heng went straight to the study.

His mind was a bit messy now, and he didn't have any sleepiness at all. He estimated he wouldn't be able to sleep even if he lay on the bed, so it was better to read books to relieve boredom.

Watching his back disappear from sight, Zhou Shihe stood in the living room for a while, finally entered Mai Sui's bedroom, closed the door, and sat on the bed facing the bedside table, staring blankly.

Ever since Xiao Han's mother came to Lushan Village last year, Mai Sui had moved to the small building No. 27. Strictly speaking, this bedroom was empty.

Only a wooden comb remained on the bedside table, which was a trace of Sui Sui.

Looking at the wooden comb, she couldn't help but recall a past event: the scene of Sui Sui being pressed under Li Heng on the sofa outside and kissed wildly.

And the places kissed were not just lips, but also Sui Sui's neck and collarbone, and other places.

That scene was unbearable to look at, making people afraid to look directly.

Zhou Shihe's chest heaved several times, then she stretched out her right hand to pick up the wooden comb, secretly thinking: Mai Sui is so good, why don't you cherish her well? Why do you still have thoughts about other women?

This night, Li Heng read books and wrote in the study, his inspiration bursting until past 4 o'clock in the morning before going to bed to rest.

Still not satisfied, he originally wanted to write more, but thinking that he had to practice repertoire with Miss Zhou during the day, he forced himself to rest for a while to cultivate his spirit.

This night, Zhou Shihe tossed and turned, not closing her eyes all night in the next bedroom.

She lay on the bed, hearing all of someone's footprints.

Including when he came out of the study? When he went to the washroom? When he returned to the bedroom.

Until the house fell into complete silence, she squinted for a while at the boundary of dawn.

But before 8 o'clock, she got up. Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, going to Singapore, there are many things to do today, and she couldn't afford to be lazy.

When she came out of the bedroom, Zhou Shihe specially scanned the master bedroom door next door.

It would have been fine if she hadn't scanned it, but once she did, the door opened, and Li Heng walked out from inside.

Looking at each other, Li Heng greeted her actively like a person who had nothing to do, "Comrade Shihe, good morning."

"Good morning." Zhou Shihe quickly sized him up, then walked toward the stairwell.

Li Heng asked from behind: "Where are you going? Want to go eat breakfast outside the school?"

Zhou Shihe said with her back to him: "I have something to call the teacher."

Hearing about making a call, Li Heng thought for a while and said: "I also have to make a New Year's call, I'll go with you."

Zhou Shihe didn't make a sound.

After washing up simply, Li Heng really came to the next door.

At this time, Zhou Shihe had just finished the call. Seeing him appear, she vacated the place very neatly, while she herself went into the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Saying it was making one call, Li Heng actually made several in a row. Called Teacher Ba, called Chief Editor Liao, and even called the Fudan principal.

"Old Principal, Happy New Year!" Li Heng paid a New Year's call.

Sun Xiaozhang of Fudan asked on the phone: "Happy New Year! When did you come to school?"

Li Heng replied: "Last night."

Sun Xiaozhang asked: "You came so early? Are you going to pay a New Year's call to Yu Laoshi's house?"

Li Heng was ashamed and joked: "Not yet, I'm going to Singapore to participate in the performance in the next two days, adding glory to our school. You can brag outside again in the future."

Sun Xiaozhang was a bit happy and issued a warm invitation to him: "Most of the restaurants near the school haven't opened yet, why don't you come over to my place for lunch?"

Li Heng asked: "Is there good food at home? If there's no good food, I can't come, otherwise the New Year's gift won't be eaten back."

Sun Xiaozhang was very happy: "You kid, with such a big net worth, you are still so stingy, really a Grandet. Come on, there must be good food. As for whether you can eat back the cost, it depends on your ability."

Li Heng asked again: "Then can I bring someone over?"

Just at this time, Zhou Shihe walked out of the washroom. Hearing his words, she stopped in her tracks subconsciously.

Sun Xiaozhang asked: "Someone else? Who is it?"

Li Heng smacked his lips: "The most beautiful woman in our Shanghai in the mouth of the Old Principal."

Sun Xiaozhang blurted out: "Zhou Shihe?"

"Um, it's her," Li Heng replied.

Sun Xiaozhang originally wanted to agree, but discovered that his precious granddaughter had come to his side at some point, the latter looking unwilling, making his words change to: "Forget it, the person is too beautiful, my small house and small door can't accommodate it, you kid keep it to feast your eyes."

Li Heng was surprised: "No? This is a refusal?"

"That's definitely a refusal. If you bought the New Year's gift, I'll send Ziyue to get it. If you haven't bought it yet, then forget it, make it up later. For example, Moutai wine or Yellow Crane Tower, both are fine," Sun Xiaozhang said without blushing or panting.

Li Heng's eyelids jumped: "Old man, I have never seen such a shameless person."

"Hahaha...!" Sun Xiaozhang hung up the phone in a burst of long laughter.
