Chapter 612: , Social death, dry wood meets raging fire

From the shower room to the bed in the bedroom, the two re-interpreted what is called dry wood and raging fire.

Mai Sui's inner charm attribute erupted unprecedentedly at this moment, making Li Heng restless and surging with heart.

Just when the two were kissing hotly, just when the two intended to be honest with each other, Mai Sui suddenly dropped the chain.

Only to see her pull away from his lips, and ask with a weak breath: "Don't, don't be like this, okay?"

Li Heng didn't make a sound, his eyes were filled with high-rising desire and longing, looking at her without moving.

Mai Sui stretched out her right hand to stroke his face, and said embarrassedly: "I know this is unfair to you, but I promised Song Yu."

Promised what?

She once promised her best friend Song Yu: as long as Song Yu doesn't get along with him, she will keep her body for one day.

This is her guilt toward Song Yu.

It is also her respecting Song Yu, giving back to Song Yu.

Giving back to Song Yu for not making things difficult for her, and not blaming her for falling in love with her best friend's man.

Hearing the words "Song Yu," Li Heng was stunned for a long time, then rolled off Mai Sui, lay flat on the bed, and stared at the sky in a daze.

Mai Sui pulled her pajamas that had been pulled open together, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."

Her voice was very small, almost imperceptible.

But the bedroom was too quiet, Li Heng heard it very clearly, but there was no movement.

The time and air in the house seemed to be frozen, stopped, silent for a long time, falling into dead silence.

I don't know how long this passed, Li Heng sighed, turned sideways and stared at her.

After a long while, he stretched out his hands to help her fasten her pajama belt.

In her anxiety, Li Heng leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said slowly: "Don't say sorry, it's my fault, I fell in love with Song Yu, and I also fell in love with you, blame me for being too greedy."

Mai Sui looked at him affectionately, her eyes suddenly showing tears.

Li Heng couldn't bear to see his own woman like this, held her in his arms, and comforted: "Don't think too much tonight, let's sleep."

"Okay." Mai Sui found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes obediently.

The love of the two was plain at first; now it is surging and intense, deep feelings hard to suppress; but what about later, Li Heng didn't promise solemnly, but Mai Sui had already planned her life.

As long as she is still alive, no matter where he goes, Mai Sui will follow him closely, love him well, and take care of him.

This night, the two suddenly fell from the mountain of desire to peace of mind, without any abruptness, the process had no suffering, no discomfort, only warmth.

Mai Sui was very content with this, sleeping on the man's chest, especially happy.

The next day, Zhou Shihe's family left.

Together was the shameless Sun Manning. This girl shouted before leaving: Old lady is going to explore the big world, single dogs also have spring, tired of you dog men and women showing off your love.

Li Heng listened with teeth and claws and felt very unhappy, directly gave a kick, scaring the fool's face green, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

In the following days, Li Heng kept reading and writing, insisted on morning runs to exercise his body after his foot healed, and took walks after meals.

Mai Sui, like a virtuous wife, always accompanied him by his side.

When he played ball, she sat on the steps and watched, occasionally helping to pick up basketballs.

When he ran in the morning, she followed.

When he wrote, she accompanied him in the study, pouring tea and water for him. When he was tired, she massaged him and accompanied him to talk to relieve boredom.

The two got along comfortably, blending friendship, family affection, and love together, very comfortable.

Days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival.

Today is a sunny day, suitable for spring outings, walking, and taking photos.

In the evening, when Li Heng and Mai Sui were strolling in the empty campus, they were attracted by the sunset scenery of the small bridge and flowing water in Xiyuan.

Mai Sui looked up into the distance: "The sunset in the sky is so beautiful, Li Heng, let's take a group photo on the bridge."

Saying that, without waiting for his reply, she held a newly bought camera in one hand and pulled his wrist with the other and ran toward the small bridge and flowing water. During the running process, she looked back and smiled from time to time, like a spring breeze, melting his heart.

Li Heng couldn't help but shout in the wind: "Mai Sui, you are so beautiful!"

Mai Sui in front smiled softly, "Really, say it again."

Li Heng shouted: "Mai Sui, be my woman."

Hearing this, Mai Sui stopped, then turned and leaned into his ear, saying softly: "In a few years, okay, I will be yours sooner or later."

Li Heng was infected by her charm, couldn't help but kiss her, then kissed again, and again...

Mai Sui was very cooperative, her red lips slightly open, and kissed him back several times.

At a certain moment, the two looked at each other and smiled, happily running toward the small bridge and flowing water, and started taking photos.

Today the two had already stepped on the spot, there was basically no one in the huge campus except for a few teachers. In this secluded corner, it was even more so, they could be more open than usual.

Taking solo photos, using the fool mode to take group photos, taking photos with different backgrounds, the two played happily for a while.

During the period, just when he was hugging her waist from behind to take intimate photos, two people suddenly turned into the small path beside, Wei Quan and Wei Xiaozhu.

Seeing the sweet two, the aunt and niece were stunned, subconsciously stopping in place.

Li Heng and Mai Sui didn't react slowly, the moment the aunt and niece appeared, they immediately let go of the hug.

Looking at each other across the air, Mai Sui's face was thin, and she couldn't handle it. After all, she was not Li Heng's proper girlfriend, even if everyone from teachers to students at Fudan University knew about the ambiguous relationship between the two, when she was bumped into by a teacher at school like this, she was still a bit panicked.

Even if this teacher was an acquaintance, Mai Sui hesitated in place, not greeting Wei Xiaozhu for the first time like usual.

Wei Xiaozhu seemed to guess her best friend's embarrassment, smiled and took the initiative to walk over: "Mai Sui, Li Heng, it's really you two, just now when you walked past the small path in front of the Red Building, I happened to be by the window, and thought I saw wrong."

Wei Xiaozhu was actively giving

Li Heng was thick-skinned and rolled his eyes, saying, "How far is the Red Mansion from the small path? Can't you see clearly even from here? Or have you forgotten what Mai Sui and I look like?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and explained, "How could I? I only saw your backs as you were leaving; otherwise, I would have called out to you then."

After this interruption, Mai Sui's tense body relaxed quite a bit.

Wei Xiaozhu teased, "Sui Sui, you've become even prettier after going home for the New Year. No wonder Li Heng was holding you and kissing your earlobe to take photos just now; it's truly mesmerizing."

A faint blush rose quietly on Mai Sui's face, and she said softly, "Your aunt is coming over."

Wei Xiaozhu understood her meaning, and as soon as her aunt walked closer, she immediately stopped joking between friends.

Li Heng called out, "Teacher."

Mai Sui followed suit and called out as well.

Wei Quan nodded with a smile, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, and she praised sincerely, "The photo just now was very aesthetic; it reminded me of when I was in college. Being young is truly good. You are a very good match."

Hearing the words "good match," Mai Sui felt a bit of joy and a bit of trepidation in her heart, quietly observing Li Heng's profile.

Wei Quan asked the two, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Li Heng replied, "We have; we only came out for a walk after eating."

Hearing this, Wei Quan looked at her niece and then said, "Then you two chat; I ate a bit too much tonight, I'll walk a bit more."

After saying this, she didn't wait for her niece to reply and walked straight past the three of them, leaving the place.

Once her aunt was gone, Wei Xiaozhu asked playfully, "Should I leave too? Am I disturbing you two?"

Mai Sui wouldn't let her leave, directly grabbing her hand, "The camera's automatic mode doesn't take very satisfactory photos; you take a few for us."

Wei Xiaozhu gladly agreed, "Okay, give me the camera."

Wei Xiaozhu's family was well-off, and she had owned her own personal camera since high school. Her photography skills went without saying; from framing, to directing the two's positioning, to managing their expressions, she appeared quite professional. After some fussing, the success rate and satisfaction of the photos were quite high.

As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened. Since the light was no longer good, the three of them put away the camera and sat on the grass to chat.

Wei Xiaozhu asked Mai Sui, "When did you arrive?"

Mai Sui said, "The eighth."

Wei Xiaozhu thought for a moment and guessed the truth: "Did you come specifically to accompany him?"

Mai Sui tacitly agreed.

Wei Xiaozhu smiled at Li Heng, "Li Heng, with a beautiful woman by your side and such deep devotion, you have good fortune."

Li Heng asked happily, "Why did you come over? Didn't you spend the Lantern Festival at home?"

Wei Xiaozhu said, "My aunt called and asked me to come over. She said she was lonely and wanted me to come keep her company; I couldn't refuse."

Mai Sui asked, "Couldn't your aunt have waited until after the Lantern Festival in Lianyungang before coming out?"

Wei Xiaozhu's voice lowered a bit: "My aunt had a big fight with my grandmother, and she left in a huff before dawn on the morning of the sixth."

Mai Sui was surprised, not expecting that Teacher Wei Quan, who was usually always amiable, had such a temperamental side, "What was it for?"

Wei Xiaozhu thought for a moment and said, "Pressuring her to marry. Grandmother arranged a match for her, and the other party was very satisfied with her, but my aunt is immersed in past feelings and has no such intention at all, saying she wants to be DINK, so..."

She didn't say the rest, but everyone understood without saying.

Mai Sui and Wei Xiaozhu hadn't seen each other for a while, and tonight they seemed to have endless things to talk about. As they talked, it was past 9 o'clock before they knew it.

Li Heng raised his left wrist to glance at his watch and said to the two women, "It's getting a bit chilly; how about we go back to Lushan Village and continue?"

Mai Sui looked at Wei Xiaozhu, full of anticipation.

Wei Xiaozhu had some concerns and asked half-jokingly, "If I go over, will I affect your loving each other?"

Li Heng stretched and said leisurely, "Forget it, Comrade Xiaozhu, you're not an outsider; don't you know the feelings between Mai Sui and me? Let alone you, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't affect us."

Wei Xiaozhu beamed and whispered in Mai Sui's ear, "After the clouds part, you see the moon; I'm really happy for you."

Mai Sui was shy and didn't respond, but the look in her eyes as she watched Li Heng's back was somewhat infatuated.

Wei Xiaozhu took in her best friend's expression, thought for a moment, raised her camera, and took a close-up of Li Heng walking in front.

After taking it, she said, "Today is the fourteenth, the moon is quite round, and he has quite an artistic mood walking under the moonlight."

Mai Sui said, "Help me get it developed."

Wei Xiaozhu agreed immediately.

The three of them took a detour to the Red Mansion to greet Wei Quan, then headed straight for Lushan Village.

But as they walked, they met Zhang Bing and Bai Wanying halfway; the former was pushing the latter, seemingly also out for a walk.

Running into them head-on, there was nowhere to hide. The optimistic and open-minded Bai Wanying spoke first: "What kind of good day is it today? We've rounded up the cream of Fudan University just by stepping out?"

Li Heng revealed his neat, clean teeth and asked with a sunny smile, "Old Zhang, it's this late; why aren't you staying at Wujiaochang, why did you run to the school?"

Zhang Bing was not good with words, and he scratched the back of his head with his right hand, saying, "Wanying suddenly wanted to come to the school for a walk, and thinking there were rentals here, we just came."

Hearing this, a line of text appeared on the foreheads of Li Heng, Mai Sui, and Wei Xiaozhu simultaneously: Zhang Bing really dotes on Bai Wanying.

Mai Sui walked over to exchange pleasantries with Bai Wanying, then issued an invitation: "Xiaozhu is coming back to Lushan Village with us; are you two coming along?"

Bai Wanying was a bit tempted and asked Li Heng, "Great writer, is it convenient?"

Li Heng smiled and nodded: "Look at how you ask that; it's too formal, it's not like you haven't been there before. Let's go, let's go!"

They left as soon as they said so; the three became five, and before long, they returned to Lushan Village.

They say three women make a play, and the ancients did not deceive me. Look, the three women got together and couldn't stop; the laughter they emitted from time to time was even livelier than a market fair.

Seeing them talking about women's issues, Li Heng, who couldn't get a word in, asked Zhang Bing: "Did you arrive on the fourth?"

Zhang Bing replied, "Arrived a little after 10 AM on the fourth."

Li Heng asked, "How's business lately?"

Zhang Bing said, "It was quite bleak before the tenth, but these past two days have been passable."

Li Heng swept a glance at Bai Wanying and asked him curiously, "Have you two been living together all along?"

Zhang Bing knew what he meant, shook his head, and said hesitantly, "I don't dare; I'm afraid of ruining Wanying's reputation."

Hearing the word "reputation," Li Heng couldn't help but look at Mai Sui, feeling so sorry for her, and his mood inexplicably became a bit low.

Zhang Bing said, "I went to the hospital to visit Old Li yesterday and found that he had lost a lot of weight."

Li Heng turned his head: "Lost weight? Hasn't Old Li recovered yet?"

Zhang Bing said, "It's not because of his health, but because Le Yao went abroad and completely cut off contact with him. His mother said Old Li hid under the covers and cried for a long time."

At this time, the three women were afraid of neglecting the two men, so they ended their conversation and sat around them.

Bai Wanying heard Zhang Bing's words and said bluntly, "Don't believe the nonsense from Li Guoyi's mother; this is a cat crying for a mouse, she has no good intentions.

Zhang Bing, you must never reveal Le Yao's news to the Li family in the future; that will only harm Le Yao."

Wei Xiaozhu interjected, "Le Yao won't return to the country in the next few years."

Bai Wanying put her hands on the wheelchair: "Not returning is the right thing to do. Li Guoyi is a person who has always been very conceited; he cries for Le Yao not because of love, but because Le Yao escaped his control and finally abandoned him, that's why he cries.

I estimate that from childhood to adulthood, only Li Guoyi has dumped others; he can't stand it when others dump him. This is what he deserves."

Don't look at Bai Wanying as disabled; she has quite a chivalrous spirit. If she were in a Wu Xia novel, she would at least be a heroine who eliminates violence and brings peace.

However, her words spoke to the hearts of several people.

Because they chatted too late that night, Wei Xiaozhu, Bai Wanying, and Zhang Bing all spent the night at the small building No. 26.

But the next morning, Bai Wanying and Zhang Bing left, saying they were going back to Wujiaochang to take care of the shop business.

Watching their departing backs, Wei Xiaozhu sighed, "Things in the world are impermanent; the person you love most in this world is often not the one most suitable for you."

Li Heng and Mai Sui looked at each other in dismay.

Too lazy to do it themselves, the three had breakfast at the Chunhua Noodle Shop.

Liu Chunhua's belly was getting bigger by the day, and now the pregnancy was quite obvious. The simpleton felt sorry for his wife and only let her help wrap wontons. As for other matters, Zhang Zhiyong took it all upon himself, including cooking the noodles, wiping the tables and chairs, and washing the dishes.

Li Heng praised the simpleton: "Ever since Sister Chunhua followed you, you've seemed like a different person; I almost don't recognize you anymore."

"Damn it! We grew up wearing split-crotch pants together, and you actually dare to say you don't recognize the old master? Watch out, or I'll skin you!" Although Zhang Zhiyong continued to use foul language, his cheeky smile showed he was clearly enjoying it.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the simpleton suddenly changed his face and said, "Old Heng, let me tell you something."

Li Heng asked, "What is it?"

The simpleton said indignantly, "The old master has been having a dream lately, dreaming that that son-of-a-bitch is always bullying my mother, beating my mother for the sake of those sluts outside. The more I think about it, the more I can't swallow this, and I really want to go back to Shaodong and kill his mother!"

Li Heng understood that this wasn't actually a dream, but a fact that had happened in the past; Old Yong was using the dream to express the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

He frowned: "Now that you have a wife, children, and a warm bed, they are the ones who need you most. Do you want to go back to Shaodong now and fall out with your father? This is not a wise choice.

And to say something unpleasant, your father has so many subordinates; on this patch of land in Shaodong, you can't outplay him in ruthlessness."

"I'm not going to play ruthless with him; only an idiot would play ruthless with him. A dignified college student should use wisdom." The simpleton pointed his finger at his own head, his eyes full of malice.

Li Heng was speechless.

The reason he said that just now was to scare him and advise him to be steady; he didn't expect that the guy with the nickname "simpleton" would say he wanted to use wisdom?

Li Heng was a bit worried: "How to use wisdom?"

The simpleton licked his tongue and laughed, "I didn't say now. I haven't thought it through yet; I'll deal with him after graduation."

There were still more than two years until graduation. Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let me know when the time comes."

Returning to school, Wei Xiaozhu tilted her head and said to Li Heng, "Li Heng, let's make a deal; lend me Mai Sui to keep me company for a day, can you?"

Li Heng and Mai Sui looked at each other and laughed heartily, "No problem, but you have to send her back to me before the sun sets."

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said, "I won't send her; you come to the Xiyuan Red Mansion to pick her up in the afternoon, and we'll go to my aunt's house for the Lantern Festival in the evening."

Li Heng asked, "Your aunt...?"

Wei Xiaozhu interrupted him: "Don't worry, my aunt is a person who loves liveliness; you can just come over."

What she said was only half true; in fact, Wei Quan was a person who liked quiet.

But her aunt had spoken highly of Li Heng in her words, which was why Wei Xiaozhu invited him.

Li Heng thought for a moment and agreed.

Mai Sui walked over, stood on tiptoe to help him tidy his hair, and said gently, "Xiaozhu and I will go shopping for a while; I'll bring you food at noon. Don't be too tired from reading, and pay attention to resting your eyes."

Li Heng didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Feeling his loving gaze, Mai Sui's heart stirred, and she quickly kissed his cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water, then turned away shyly and left.

Wei Xiaozhu, who was on the side, was stunned. However, thinking back to the scene where Li Heng and her best friend had embraced and kissed in a secluded corner of the teaching building, she felt relieved.

The two women left, and after Li Heng finished watching them, he also hurried home. According to the plan, he had many things to do today; damn it, he couldn't afford to waste time.

In high spirits in the morning, he read and wrote, writing Chapter 32 of "Dust Settles":

The Snowba Tusi came again.

He saw that the closed fortress had become an open, magnificent building and thought he had gone to the wrong place.

This time, he didn't say I was his uncle anymore. Although, I don't even have a main gate here... From 8 AM to 12:30 PM, Li Heng wrote more than 5,700 words.

Still quite satisfied.

Just as he put down his fountain pen and prepared to rest for a while, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of food. Turning his head, he happened to see half a head poking in from the doorway.

Mai Sui looked at him with a gentle smile, "Finished writing?"
