Chapter 639

~12 min read 2,230 words

Coming out of the reading room.

Li Heng stood at the entrance of the corridor for a while, pondering whether to go upstairs to find Seeing Mai Sui?

Or go downstairs and go back?

Later, thinking of the scene that just happened between him and Zhou, he finally gave up the thought of going upstairs and walked down the stairs.

Just arriving on the first floor, he bumped into Zhao Menglong.

Seeing the other party walking straight toward him, Li Heng had a feeling that this senior might be looking for him specifically.

Sure enough, Chen Menglong stopped when he came to him, "Finding you is really hard, I ran to many places before I learned you were in the library."

Li Heng asked with a smile: "Is the senior looking for me for something?"

Chen Menglong enthusiastically issued an invitation: "Seeing that it's almost time for dinner, let's have a meal together?"

Li Heng thought about it, didn't refuse, and followed to the Old Li Restaurant outside the school.

After ordering the dishes, Chen Menglong wanted a dozen beers and a bottle of white wine.

His eyes swept between the beer and white wine, Li Heng teased himself: "Mixing white wine and beer, I guess I'll get drunk."

Chen Menglong said: "Then you drink beer. I'm greedy today, and I have nothing to do at night, so I just want to drink a glass of white wine."

When pouring the wine, Li Heng put the glass in front of him, "Give me half a glass of white wine too, letting you drink alone doesn't look like a thing. But I only have this amount of white wine, don't dislike it."

"Bright!" Chen Menglong gave a thumbs up.

The boss served a plate of peanuts.

The two didn't wait for the dishes, eating while chatting.

Li Heng asked: "You are about to graduate and leave school, has your work distribution been settled?"

Chen Menglong hesitated for a moment and said: "It might be in the General Office."

Li Heng asked: "Shanghai's?"

Chen Menglong said yes.

Li Heng picked up his wine glass and said: "Amazing! I toast you with this glass, wishing you a bright future and everything goes well."

"What's amazing, I'm just lucky, I got familiar with the principal during my time as student union president, and he recommended me. But it hasn't been announced yet, keep it secret for me." Chen Menglong said modestly.

Li Heng nodded, knowing in his heart.

Next, the two chatted about various trivial matters in school and graduation distribution.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Menglong, who had finished a bottle of white wine and 4 bottles of beer, leaned forward and suddenly asked nervously: "Is Zhanyan still in contact with you?"

Knowing that the other party was looking for him for this, Li Heng shook his head: "Haven't been in contact for a long time."

Chen Menglong couldn't believe it: "She likes you so much, didn't she write to you?"

Li Heng said: "She wrote me a letter last year, and there has been no news since then. However, I heard from her cousin Ye Ning that the senior is currently working at a top investment bank in the United States, and her situation is quite good."

Hearing this, Chen Menglong was a bit disappointed, and happy for Ye Zhanyan, picked up a newly opened bottle of beer, and blew it in one gulp.

Li Heng watched him blow the bottle, and couldn't help but praise when he finished drinking: "Senior really has a good drinking capacity, with this skill, entering the system in the future will definitely be like a fish in water."

Chen Menglong shook the empty bottle, "I wasn't born with this talent, it was numbed out by alcohol later."

Li Heng remembered something and asked again: "I remember Dai Qing seemed to have said that you planned to study abroad in the United States, what's going on?"

Hearing this question, Chen Menglong was silent, and after a long while, he said: "When I left the position of student union president, I did have the intention to study abroad in the United States. The purpose, I don't need to say, you also know, it was to accompany Zhanyan. I took advantage of the winter break to go to the United States, and then I gave up."

Li Heng was surprised: "Others are fighting for their lives to go out, even if they break their heads and sell their family property, they want to go abroad, but you are good, you say you don't want the opportunity that came to your hand?"

Chen Menglong said: "That side is indeed very prosperous, but it doesn't suit me. And Zhanyan's steps are too fast, I can't keep up."

The second half of the sentence was his true words.

Ye Zhanyan is flying too high now, and the distance between him and her has been pulled too big. Chen Menglong knew that he and Ye Zhanyan had no possibility, so he gave up going abroad and returned to work in China.

Li Heng felt sad, took the last two bottles of beer to the table, one for each, and accompanied the senior to blow the bottle.

In the second half, Chen Menglong was telling the bitterness in his heart. After a dozen beers were finished, this guy called 6 more bottles, and didn't stop until they were all gone.

Leaving the restaurant, half-drunk Chen Menglong said to Li Heng: "I have a premonition that Zhanyan will come to find you again. If possible, I hope you can cherish her, she is a good woman."

Li Heng didn't say anything.

He didn't know Ye Zhanyan very well. Is she a good woman? He didn't make any evaluation.

As for good women, hey! How many women who dare to get close to him are not excellent? How many are not good women?

Crossing the road, entering the school gate.

Li Heng bumped into Seeing Mai Sui, Wei Xiaozhu, Sun Manning, and Ye Ning.

Seeing the four women, Chen Menglong greeted him and left tactfully.

Seeing Mai Sui walked over and asked him, "Did you drink a lot of wine?"

"Hmm, it's okay, the senior treated me to dinner, so I accompanied him to drink some."

Li Heng responded, and then asked casually: "Why are there only 4 of you, where is Comrade Zhou Shihe?"

Seeing Mai Sui said: "Shihe said she was not feeling well, so she didn't come out. We will bring her food later."

Li Heng asked: "Where is she not feeling well?"

Seeing Mai Sui told him: "Shihe didn't say, but her spirit is not very good, and she is resting at home now."

Hearing this, Li Heng instinctively felt that it had something to do with him, so he didn't ask further.

He asked: "You are eating, do you want me to accompany you?"

Seeing Mai Sui shook her head: "No, you drank so much wine, just go home first, I will accompany you when I come back."

"Eh, that works." Li Heng didn't pretend.

After separating from the girls, he went directly back to Lushan Village.

Before separating, Wei Xiaozhu suddenly turned her head specifically and looked at Li Heng's back quickly.

At this time, the courtyard wall gate of the No. 25 small building was locked, and Teacher Yu was not at home.

Li Heng stood in the middle of the alley, looking at his own house for a while, and looking at the No. 27 small building for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the gate of the No. 27 small building.

"Dong dong dong...!"

"Dong dong dong...!!"

After two knocks, Zhou Shihe's figure appeared in the attic on the second floor.

The southeast monsoon blew her hair all over her face at this time. She reached out to smooth the fine hair, looked down, and saw him at a glance.

Li Heng looked up and also looked at her.

Looking at each other, he asked with concern: "Seeing Mai Sui said you are not feeling well, is it serious? Do you want to see a doctor?"

The black and bright eyes fell on him steadily, and Zhou Shihe was quiet and didn't make a sound.

Not waiting for a reply, Li Heng asked again: "Can you open the door?"

Zhou Shihe was quiet for a while, withdrew her gaze, and turned silently.

Less than 3 minutes later, she appeared again, the first-floor door opened, and then the courtyard gate opened.

Looking at each other across the door, Li Heng asked in a low voice: "Are you really okay?"

Zhou Shihe stood by the door sideways, saying without joy or sorrow: "It's okay."

Observing for a while, and unable to find useful information from her face, Li Heng wanted to find something to do, borrowed her phone to ease the atmosphere.

But seeing her gaze drifting to the distant horizon, and not looking at himself again, he extinguished this thought.

Li Heng wanted to speak but stopped, and finally had to say: "Then you rest more, I'll go home first."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe, who was just staring at the sunset glow in the sky, had action instantly, closed the courtyard gate, turned her back to him, and walked into the house with light steps.

Later, as the house door closed, she completely disappeared from his world.

This, this girl, does she have to move so fast?

I'm not a tiger, and I don't eat people.

Li Heng muttered two sentences and walked toward his own house.

Unlocked, entered the courtyard, and when passing the half-dead ginkgo tree, he stopped.

Ginkgo tree, oh ginkgo tree, can you fight for it and come back to life for me?

If not, at least insist on finishing this semester, after the summer vacation, I will have a reason to explain, right?

The wind blew the ginkgo tree rustling, it seemed to be saying: Don't beg me, my life is bitter, meeting you is my bad luck, let me die early. Buddha said, die early and reincarnate early. I can't stay here for a day, either watering with boiling water or watering with salt water, or watering seven or eight times a day, being trampled like this, ten lives would have been ruined long ago!

Li Heng seemed to feel its suffering, reached out and patted the sapling, sighed: Sigh, no wonder the ancient palace would have the drama of a civet cat changing a prince.

This world is only money and human heart that cannot be looked at directly, the ancients really didn't deceive me.

This scene was all seen by Zhou Shihe in the attic next door. Originally, her mood was chaotic, and at this moment, a strange look couldn't help but appear on her face.

She knew better than anyone that after the window paper of his stepping on three boats was pierced, this tree was destined not to survive.

Returning home, Li Heng first closed his eyes and rested in the study, then began to write a letter, writing to Song Yu.

Originally, he wrote a letter to Song Yu last week, and according to the convention of their correspondence, he had to write again in half a month.

But he suddenly had a whim to write.

Wrote two pages of letter paper, but the core content was only one: let her stay in school with peace of mind this half year, and don't participate in those messy things.

Of course, with Song Yu's temperament, she didn't need him to exhort her much, she had her own sense of proportion. But as her husband, he couldn't help but care about these.

At the end of the letter, he also pointed out implicitly: the Dragon Boat Festival can not come to Lushan Village, it's not too late to come in the junior year.

He brought selfishness, trying to change the immediate execution of the death penalty to a suspended death sentence. I don't know if Song Yu will see through it?

Even less sure, guarantee that Song Yu will listen to him.

After writing the last word, Li Heng read the content of the letter twice, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he locked the study door and rushed to the post office.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he met Liu Yanling near the post office, and a boy with shiny hair was confessing affectionately to her.

Seeing Li Heng appear suddenly, a flash of unnaturalness flashed in Liu Yanling's eyes.

The boy with shiny hair recognized Li Heng, and also retracted the love letter in his hand sullenly, lowered his head and walked quickly in another direction.

Li Heng wanted to pretend not to see it and walk past directly.

But Liu Yanling spoke, "Great tycoon Li, it's not what you see, I don't have two hearts."

Li Heng said with a smile: "A beautiful lady is a gentleman's good match, I can understand. Is this boy from our school?"

Liu Yanling shook her head: "No, it's from Tongji University next door. A fellow villager of mine, known for 2 years, has been sending love letters and gifts, I have refused every time but it's useless, I'm almost annoyed to death."

Li Heng asked: "Does this boy know Old Zhou?" ===== CHAPTER 640 =====
