She’s a virgin who’s been living with you—I can’t possibly kick her out with a clear conscience. Besides, aside from being a little seductive, Maisui’s a good girl, and I actually like her.” Tian Run’e spoke her true feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Tian Run’e added with solemn advice: “Manzai, be careful in bed—you must learn restraint. Don’t cling to her every day, understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Run’e asked irritably, “Did you hear me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng replied, “I heard, I heard… sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your precious son’s bedroom skills are formidable—most women can’t handle him at all. Maisui might be in for a huge surprise—he’s been waiting for this day for a long time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some things were never meant to be spoken aloud; he could only offer vague replies before leaving Building 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped out the gate, he saw Zhou Shihe hanging clothes on the second-floor balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called out casually, “Shihe, want to walk to the teaching building together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe glanced at him, as if knowing exactly where he was headed, and replied gently, “It’s going to rain—take an umbrella if you’re going to pick up Maisui.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng looked up at the sky and realized clouds had gathered without him noticing; he immediately went back inside and fetched two umbrellas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The balcony next door was empty—Miss Zhou had already gone inside the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assumed she wouldn’t come, but just as he was about to pass Building 27, someone stepped out from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delicate, frail, heartbreakingly lovely—it was none other than Zhou Shihe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng was surprised, stopping to ask, “You’re really going? I just asked out of habit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could answer, he glanced at himself and joked, “Has my charm become this powerful? One sentence and you come running?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe smiled lightly, “I’m going to the counselor’s office to cancel my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—since she’d returned from abroad, she had to cancel her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng asked, “Then don’t you have class this afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe said, “Tomorrow’s weekend—we don’t have afternoon classes this semester.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng was confused: “We went to Europe before the semester started—did you talk to Maisui on the phone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe said yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lushan Village was a bit far from the School of Management; as they walked, they chatted intermittently, and somehow the conversation turned to Li Jianguo and Tian Run’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe asked suddenly, “Have your parents fully accepted Maisui now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng said, “If they’re already going out to buy groceries and cook for her, they’ve definitely accepted her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, he froze, staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe subtly avoided his gaze, walked past him, and only after taking ten or so steps did a faint voice reach him: “Maisui has suffered enough—treat her well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words struck him like a sudden jolt; he stood still for a long moment before quickening his pace to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the teaching building, both went to the counselor’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia poured them tea and beamed with congratulations: “The newspapers have been full of news about your successful performance at the Royal Concert Hall in the Netherlands—congratulations! You’ve brought great honor to our country and Fudan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they had brought honor to both country and Fudan. While the nation’s glory went without saying, many news reports mentioned Fudan University alongside the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This filled every faculty member and student at Fudan with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe merely smiled faintly, took the tea, and murmured, “Thank you, Teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng, ever at ease, teased, “Really? But I didn’t see a single banner hung in our honor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia laughed, “Don’t blame me—I earn barely enough to feed myself, let alone buy banners. You’ll have to file a complaint with the school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some idle chatter, the bell rang for the end of the fourth class. Zhou Shihe finished canceling her leave and left the office to pick up Maisui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she was gone, Counselor Liu Jia leaned in, whispering urgently, “First Singapore, now the Netherlands—the papers are all gossiping that you two are a perfect match. Are you two actually dating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng countered, “Teacher, do you think I’m that kind of person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia hesitated, then burst out laughing: “Hehe, are you that kind of person? I don’t know, and I won’t judge. But among the faculty, there are two different rumors circulating—would you like to hear them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng asked, “What rumors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia said, “One rumor says Professor Yu Guang is waiting for you to graduate so she can marry you. The other—you probably know it—is about Maisui. Rumor has it she willingly became your romantic confidante, and according to some whispers, you’re already living together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng’s eyelid twitched: “Where did these rumors even come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia replied, “There’s no wall that doesn’t leak. Lushan Village isn’t just home to you two—there are many professors and their families living here. With so many people, gossip spreads naturally over time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense—he had no grounds for anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia tilted her head. “Hey, Li Heng, are you and Zhou Shihe really dating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng wasn’t stupid—he asked, “Teacher, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counselor Liu Jia thought for a moment, then shook her head: “Honestly? It’s hard. Zhou Shihe seems approachable, but she hides a deep pride. Given your current emotional chaos, she probably doesn’t even see you as a match—I’m one hundred percent sure this is just idle gossip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng chuckled, offered no reply, and turned to leave the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhou Shihe stepped out of the counselor’s office onto the corridor, students pouring out of classrooms noticed her and stopped to stare, murmuring among themselves:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See that? That’s Senior Zhou Shihe—you didn’t see her last time, but now you have.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s so beautiful!!! I think I’m in love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on! Every guy who sees her feels that way—but have you ever looked in the mirror? Do you even stand a chance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every male student—freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors—showed some sign of attraction. The aura around Zhou Shihe was simply too strong; any one of those qualities was enough to captivate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female students mostly looked on with envy, their gazes tinged with bitterness, some even with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether jealous or not, it didn’t matter—in the midst of countless watching eyes, Zhou Shihe walked calmly to Class 2 of Finance and Accounting to meet Maisui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shihe, you’re back!” Maisui was delighted to see her friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maisui slipped her arm through Zhou Shihe’s. “Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe, in a voice only the two could hear, teased for once: “Your man wouldn’t let you—he said he wanted to surprise you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words made Maisui’s face burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Zhou Shihe had already witnessed Maisui kissing and hugging Li Heng—her tolerance had grown far beyond what it once was—so she didn’t blush or betray herself in public.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ae00b974cdca2e6827cfa58abe1b87f4c1c12d63f68f2e9db1c606f61553b800","1987-my-era-chapter-623","1987-my-era-chapter-621",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
