~8 min read 1,462 words

Master Wu Yili nodded with a smile and then asked with concern: "Did you call home?"

Zhou Shihe replied: "Not yet."

She had thought about calling home before, but then a series of things happened, causing her to lose her composure, and it was delayed for a while.

Actually, regarding giving him the blank paper, her purpose was very simple, which was to refuse! To refuse his feelings.

But someone pondered over the blank paper for a long time, probably thinking of many, many ideas. But she was too lazy to point it out.

Master Wu Yili said: "Go quickly and report your safety to your family; your mother even called the concert venue."

"Mm."

Zhou Shihe said "mm," reached for the landline phone on the bedside table, and began to dial skillfully.

After a while, the call went through, and a voice came from the other side: "Hello."

"Mom, it's me," Zhou Shihe said.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were connected, Master Wu Yili went to the living room to clear the space.

Zhou's mother asked: "How does it feel in Singapore?"

To be honest, Zhou Shihe's mood was mixed and unpleasant, but she was a person who reported good news but not bad news, so she said verbally: "It's quite good, Mom, don't worry."

Zhou's mother said: "You haven't called for so long, I thought something happened to you; is Li Heng with you?"

Zhou Shihe said: "Yes."

Zhou's mother asked: "Listening to Teacher Wu, Yu Shuheng hasn't come yet?"

Zhou Shihe said: "Yu Laoshi has something to do and will rush over tomorrow."

When the conversation reached this point, the phone suddenly went silent.

After a long while, Zhou's mother said: "If I had known it was like this, Mom should have put down the work at hand and gone to Singapore with you."

Some words are understood as soon as they are heard.

Even though Zhou's mother didn't explicitly mention Li Heng, Zhou Shihe heard it; her mother was not very reassured about Li Heng.

It's just that Zhou's mother is a civilized person and wouldn't name names without any solid evidence.

Of course, in the past, Zhou's mother wouldn't have brought up this question either.

But in the previous phone call with Master Wu Yili, Teacher Wu kept praising Li Heng and even expressed the intention to match her beloved disciple with Li Heng, implicitly seeking Zhou's mother's opinion?

This call from Master Wu Yili made Zhou's mother fall into deep thought. In principle, she was relatively repulsed by this matchmaking behavior because she knew that this teacher-student pair, Yu Shuheng and Li Heng, had an unknown relationship. And Li Heng also had a proper girlfriend, Xiao Han, and a confidante, Mai Sui.

These were the women on the surface.

At the same time, this implicit inquiry from Master Wu Yili made Zhou's mother have to make the worst plan: did her daughter have an emotional bond with Li Heng? Did Teacher Wu notice something before proposing matchmaking?

Therefore, her sentence just now was less of a hint to Li Heng and more of a probe of her daughter.

Probing whether her daughter had any emotional entanglement with Li Heng?

As intelligent as Zhou Shihe, how could she not understand her mother's worry, so she worded it: "If Mom wants to come over to see the concert venue, there is still time."

Zhou Shihe didn't mention Li Heng in her words either, but she was open and honest, meaning Mom could come over to check at any time.

Sure enough, the effect of this sentence was very good, and Zhou's mother's doubts were dispelled; it seemed that Teacher Wu was simply particularly optimistic about Li Heng, which is why she thought of matching Li Heng and her daughter together.

However, to be fair, in Zhou's mother's eyes: Li Heng is indeed very excellent, excellent enough to make people ignore that he was born in a remote rural village. It's just that this young man is not a good person, and he is very good at causing trouble.

In just a year and a half since coming to Shanghai, he has hooked up with several women. Among them is even his university teacher, Yu Shuheng.

In a certain sense, this is still not very good, and it is a big discount in the impression score.

Zhou's mother finally asked curiously: "What is Li Heng doing?"

Zhou Shihe had no bottom in her heart because she had entered the room early, and at that time someone was still pondering over the blank paper on the sofa.

Zhou Shihe said: "He should be writing in the study."

Zhou's mother was slightly surprised: "So diligent? Didn't think about going out to stroll around in Singapore?"

Zhou Shihe said: "He has always been relatively diligent. Mm... he might also be waiting for Yu Laoshi."

Zhou's mother fully trusted her daughter, didn't bring up this matter again, and hung up the phone after chatting with her daughter for more than ten minutes.

After ending the call, Zhou Shihe walked out of the room.

Master Wu Yili looked at her watch and said to her beloved disciple: "It's mealtime, let's call Li Heng to go out for dinner together."

Zhou Shihe appeared hesitant: "It might interrupt his writing state."

Hearing this, Master Wu Yili said: "Then wait a while, call him in an hour; we still have to take you to the concert venue tonight to familiarize yourselves with the situation."

Zhou Shihe said okay.

While waiting, the teacher and student kept discussing the issue of piano performance techniques.

An hour later, under her teacher's gaze, Zhou Shihe slowly got up, came to Li Heng's room door, and reached out to knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Dong dong dong!"

At this time, Li Heng was writing, writing the middle and latter part of Chapter 27 of "Dust Settles":

Two servants came up, one on the left and one on the right, squatted down beside me, and I sat on the shoulders of the two, slowly returning to the place where we were camping.

Writing triumphantly, the room door suddenly rang, and Li Heng ignored it, focusing on writing as if he hadn't heard it.

After two knocks, seeing no response from the room, Zhou Shihe decisively gave up knocking.

About ten minutes later, Li Heng finished the last paragraph of Chapter 27, rubbed his sore wrists, put down his pen, and opened the door.

He saw Zhou Shihe in the living room at a glance, and at this moment, the latter was looking at the distant skyline in front of the window.

His gaze stayed on her back for a while, he sighed silently, and asked: "Where is Teacher Wu, hasn't she come back yet?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Shihe turned halfway and said gently: "Seeing that you were busy, Teacher went to order food and asked the hotel to send the meal to the room."

Li Heng was ashamed, saying he came to help, but became addicted to writing.

After one question and one answer, the two seemed to have nothing to say and fell into silence.

Their eyes met, her gaze didn't have the dodging of the afternoon, looking straight at him; the two didn't say a word, but everything was in the silence.

After a while, he stretched, walked out of the room to her, and asked in a low voice with a thick skin: "Do you think I thought too much this afternoon? Was that blank paper actually because you didn't know what to write? Right?"

Without waiting for her to reply, he added: "Tell me the answer, my head is aching like crazy right now."

Zhou Shihe glanced at him, turned around and looked out the window again, neither denying nor admitting his words.

Looking at her, Li Heng suddenly probed: "How about you return the note to me?"

Zhou Shihe said okay, and really walked toward her own room, without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Heng had to remedy: "Forget it, you keep it; what kind of person I am, they probably know clearly in their hearts. Sigh..."

He was giving her a preventive shot, don't think about using that note to deal with "them," it's useless.

Zhou Shihe lowered her head to look at her toes, stopped, and her gaze turned silently to the window again, treating him like air.

Without communication, the living room was dead silent until Master Wu Yili returned to break the deadlock.

Master Wu Yili entered the door and asked him: "Did I interrupt your writing?"

Wasn't it, but things had reached this point, and Li Heng also denied it: "No, I just finished writing." ===== CHAPTER 603 =====
