The door handle turned slowly.

After half a circle, the door opened.

Outside the door was Li Heng!

Zhou Shihe's body stalled, stopping in place.

"Shihe, are you okay?" Li Heng asked worriedly.

When he spoke, his eyes were looking straight at Zhou Shihe.

At first, Zhou Shihe avoided his gaze, but later, seeing him staring at her tirelessly, she simply stopped hiding, raised her head slightly, and looked straight at him like that.

One was 180 wearing shoes, one was 166 wearing shoes; one was looking down from the doorway, one was leaning against the washbasin looking pitiful; their gazes were intertwined, and for a while, neither retreated.

Seeing her eyes were slightly red, Li Heng didn't feel good in his heart; staring fixedly at her weak figure, he suddenly took a step forward, subconsciously reaching out his hands towards her, wanting to hug her, wanting to hug her in his arms and feel sorry for her.

Zhou Shihe seemed to have guessed his thoughts, turned slightly, then her right hand brushed her fine hair behind her ears, lowered her head, her right foot moved a step to the side without leaving a trace, and then wanted to pass him to walk out of the washroom.

Li Heng instinctively reached out his left hand, blocking her at the position of her lower abdomen.

Zhou Shihe's body was stiff, but she didn't move either.

At this moment, the two who almost missed each other were confronting each other silently.

An indescribable atmosphere wandered and lingered between each other; two hearts were attracted to each other and full of repulsion.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long had passed like this.

At a certain moment, when new footsteps came from outside the door, Li Heng's thoughts returned, and he withdrew his left hand.

Zhou Shihe's cherry mouth pouted slightly, and then she left the washroom with light steps.

Li Heng didn't move, his gaze fell on the scratched mirror; at this time, there were still residual water droplets falling down one by one.

Not long after, someone entered the washroom; it was the daughter of the Arnault family. Behind her was Adjani, who had been dragged over by this daughter.

When Adjani saw Zhou Shihe coming out of the washroom, she automatically stopped at the door, thoughtful, her gaze moving as Zhou Dawang's figure moved.

It was the Arnault daughter who didn't care so much, walked straight into the door, came to Li Heng's side, and greeted Li Heng with joy: "What a coincidence, Mr. Li, you are here too."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe's body paused imperceptibly, and then she left this area with a calm expression.

Adjani saw this scene in her eyes, and after watching Zhou Shihe disappear at the end of the corridor corner, she turned her head and looked at her friend and Li Heng.

Don't hit a smiling person; although Li Heng didn't know the other party, he still nodded with a smile.

The Arnault daughter seized the opportunity to introduce herself, and then pulled Adjani over, "Mr. Li, this is our French first beauty, she really wants to know you."

Hearing this, Adjani wanted to die; she was clearly dragged over to build courage, but was introduced like this; however, she had seen countless celebrities, so she wasn't too timid, and smiled a few times: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Heng returned the salute: "Hello."

The Arnault daughter asked: "Mr. Li, do you have time today?"

Li Heng looked at her.

The Arnault daughter held Adjani's arm and said: "Adjani fell in love with you at first sight and wants to invite you to have dinner together."

Adjani's eyes widened, but under the constant blinking and pleading of her friend, she finally kept silent with a strange expression.

Li Heng looked at Adjani unexpectedly, then at the Arnault daughter, pondered for a moment, and shook his head, "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

The Arnault daughter didn't give up and asked: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Li Heng said: "There is something in the country, we are going back tomorrow."

Hearing this, a thick disappointment flashed on the Arnault daughter's face, and later she took out a business card from her bag, then took out a pen, wrote a string of phone numbers on the business card, and handed it over:

"If Mr. Li comes to Europe next time, please be sure to contact us and let Adjani and me be the host."

Very clearly, the business card was the Arnault daughter's.

The newly written phone number was Adjani's home landline number.

Adjani was speechless, but in order to maintain her friend's face, it was not easy to stop her.

Li Heng took the business card, said thank you, then smiled politely at the two, and walked out of the washroom.

The two women also smiled in return.

Until he walked far away, Adjani teased: "You are the eldest daughter of the French Arnault family after all; if the outside world knew you were pursuing a man like this, you would probably be in the newspapers for a while."

The Arnault daughter was a bit depressed: "I'm not afraid of being in the newspapers, and the law doesn't stipulate that women of the Arnault family can't actively pursue men; the problem is he doesn't seem interested in me."

It was precisely because she realized at the first moment that Li Heng was not interested in her that the Arnault daughter immediately shifted the focus to her friend Adjani; this was also the reason why she spared no effort to say that Adjani fell in love with Li Heng at first sight earlier.

The purpose was very simple; this daughter hoped to use the name of the French first beauty to attract Li Heng, so that she would have more opportunities to contact the other party in the future.

Adjani comforted: "Maybe he doesn't know what the Arnault family represents in France."

The Arnault daughter shook her head, "Maybe it doesn't work. I just asked someone from the Philharmonic Orchestra to inquire about that violinist Yu Shuheng; it is said that she comes from the top family in China."

Adjani was not surprised, because the noble spirit on Yu Shuheng was rich, and it could be seen at a glance that it wasn't something an ordinary family could cultivate, "Why did you inquire about Yu Shuheng?"

The Arnault daughter said: "Mr. Li's external affairs are all handled by Yu Shuheng."

Adjani thought for a while and said: "I actually think that if you really want to pursue this Mr. Li, you should pay more attention to the woman who just walked out of here."

The Arnault daughter realized: "Zhou Shihe?"

Adjani said yes.

The Arnault daughter asked: "The reason?"

Adjani said: "No reason, purely a woman's intuition."

The Arnault daughter was even more depressed, walked around her friend, and walked around again, finally saying: "It's really unreasonable; so many men in France and even Europe are crazy about you, yet you can't attract him to have a dinner?"

Adjani was speechless: "Doesn't your Arnault family halo, which has been invincible in the past, also fail?"

The Arnault daughter clapped her hands: "Such a man is more flavorful and can stimulate my desire to pursue. Next time he will definitely come to Europe to perform, let's sisters encircle him together. Whoever sleeps with him first, the other one will withdraw."

Adjani couldn't laugh or cry, feeling that her friend was crazy about men, and stopped talking.

Lounge.

When Li Heng pushed the door and entered, not only was Zhou Shihe inside, but Yu Laoshi had also returned.

Hearing the movement, Yu Shuheng raised her head and looked over.

Zhou Shihe was sitting quietly on the chair, without any movement.

Yu Shuheng stared at him with a smile that was not a smile and said: "Yo, why are you back? I got the news that the Arnault family daughter and the French first beauty went to the washroom to block you; did you not like them, or were you scared?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "The news is quite well-informed."

Yu Shuheng said: "Naturally."

Li Heng asked: "Then why couldn't you help me out?"

Yu Shuheng asked strangely: "Help out? Why help out? If the man I fancy was poached like this, does Teacher still have the need to cherish him?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe glanced at Yu Laoshi without leaving a trace, a bit surprised; she didn't expect Yu Laoshi to dare to admit her feelings for Li Heng so blatantly.

Although everyone knew it clearly in the past, hindered by the status of a teacher, Yu Laoshi always maintained the posture of a teacher in front of outsiders, didn't dare to be too intimate with him, and would not say things like "the man I fancy."

Very clearly, Yu Laoshi was pointing at something.

And very clearly, Yu Laoshi's heart had changed, becoming a bit urgent.

Zhou Shihe understood, because at the performance scene, she revealed flaws in terms of feelings; perhaps, just now, half of these words were said for her to hear.

Li Heng was ashamed, but his expression remained calm and composed; he took out the business card the Arnault daughter gave him and stuffed it into Yu Laoshi's palm: "Teacher, let's go back to the hotel, I'm a bit hungry."

He didn't make any excuses for himself; a business card was enough.

Yu Shuheng looked at the business card, then looked at the landline number handwritten on the business card, and asked with a refined smile: "Is the phone number below written by Adjani?"

Li Heng stretched: "Don't ask me about this, how would I know? If Teacher has the leisure, contact it yourself."

Yu Shuheng turned the business card in her hand, "If I contact it, the other party will probably be very disappointed if they hear the voice."

Li Heng stated directly: "That has nothing to do with me."

Yu Shuheng was very satisfied with his attitude, smiled slightly and said: "Shihe, let's go, let's go back to the hotel."

Zhou Shihe stood up and left the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw with the two.

Back at the hotel, the three first took off their performance makeup, then waited for more than ten minutes, waiting for Xu Li and Xu Sheng. Then the five of them killed their way to Chinatown.

There is no way, the food in other places can't be eaten at all, Chinatown is better, at least it can fill the stomach.

During the meal, Xu Li asked: "Leaving tomorrow morning, really not staying for one more day?"

Yu Shuheng said: "School has already started, Li Heng and Shihe have to go back to class, and I also have to report."

Xu Li knew this was just a casual excuse, so she didn't force to keep them anymore.

After the meal, the few of them walked aimlessly on the streets and alleys for a while, bought some specialties, and the crowd returned to the hotel before dark with big bags and small bags.

Li Heng bought a watch for Song Yu, perfume for Xiao Han, a bag for Zijin, and a bracelet and chocolate for Mai Sui.

Zhou Shihe was a bit confused why he bought so many? But she didn't ask, feeling that a part of it was Xiao Han's, a part was Sui Sui's, and others might be his family's.

Yu Shuheng naturally knew Song Yu and the others, and saw through the gifts he bought without saying it, laughing it off.

Changing shoes and entering the suite living room, Zhou Shihe returned to her room directly without staying too long.

Yu Shuheng watched her from behind, as if these were within expectations.

Li Heng entered the door last, closed the door and said: "Teacher, what time is our flight tomorrow?"

Yu Shuheng said: "8 o'clock."

Li Heng said: "Ah? Then we have to leave before dawn again?"

Yu Shuheng teased: "If you don't want to leave so fast, you can stay; someone here will be very happy to entertain you."

Li Heng's eyelids jumped, and he whispered into her ear: "Look, just saying nonsense, who here is as beautiful as my Teacher?"

After speaking, he carried the big bags and small bags back to his own room.

Yu Shuheng smiled, very much enjoying this, and after standing in place for a while, followed him into the bedroom.

Entering the room, she closed the bedroom door, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched him pack various gifts.

After a while, she teased and asked: "Why didn't you buy for me and Shihe?"

Li Heng didn't even raise his head: "You two rich women, are you still lacking these little things?"

Yu Shuheng said: "We are ours, what you give is different."

Li Heng pretended to be stupid, "What's different?"

Yu Shuheng didn't speak, just kept looking at him and smiling.

Li Heng felt his scalp tingle from being looked at, and finally said: "Since I met you, I have basically spent most of my time with you, going to Bailu Village, going to Aba, going to Singapore, coming to Europe, returning to my hometown during the winter and summer vacations last year, we were also together, seeing each other every day, is there still a need to give other gifts? Am I not the best gift?"

Yu Shuheng was stunned by what he said.

After a long time, she leaned over, held his face with both hands, looked left and right, and finally pecked a few times, unable to put it down: "Don't say, it makes sense, little boy, this pass is considered passed by you."

After organizing the gifts, Li Heng took a bath, then laid out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and started reading.

Yu Shuheng asked: "Writing tonight?"

Li Heng said: "Chapter 33 is not finished, probably need to write seven or eight hundred words to finish it."

Yu Shuheng nodded when she heard it, sat quietly on the side, didn't speak, and accompanied him quietly.

This night, Li Heng first read to find the feeling, finally picked up the pen to continue writing Chapter 33 of *Dust Settles*, then refined it twice, and didn't stop until after midnight.

Yu Shuheng watched from the side the whole time, and when he put down the pen, she came behind him and earnestly helped him relax his body with both hands on his shoulders.

Li Heng didn't pretend either, closed his eyes to enjoy, and later he was simply straightforward, leaning his whole body backward, resting his head on her chest, wanting to scream comfortably.

Having been bitten by him twice, although Yu Shuheng was a bit awkward, she still endured his presumptuous actions, first helping him press his shoulders, then helping him press his temples.

About 20 minutes later, Li Heng fell asleep, and his even breathing indicated that he was sleeping very soundly.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng rubbed her sore wrists, and later sat beside him, appreciating him with soft eyes.
