Chapter 643

~14 min read 2,710 words

After staying with Xiao Han at the new home on Wukang Road for a day and two nights, he rushed back on Monday morning to attend the first class.

The class was Econometrics.

Seeing Li Heng rushing into the classroom for class, the professor even felt a sense of being flattered. In front of the whole class, he joked half-seriously, "Sigh! Once the great writer comes over, I suddenly don't know how to teach; I'm a bit nervous. You guys allow me half a minute of silent contemplation."

"Hahaha..."

The whole class burst into laughter.

After he sat down, Chen Guifen in the front row handed him a stack of letters.

"How come there are so many all of a sudden?" Li Heng exclaimed.

Chen Guifen said, "I don't know either, but isn't this very normal?"

Ever since she broke up with Hu Ping, Chen Guifen had fallen into a slump for a long time. To soothe her trauma, she had given up on herself and slept with a dozen men.

Later, her deeds were spread back to her small hometown by a fellow villager from high school, and Chen Guifen's name immediately became famous in her hometown. But unfortunately, it wasn't a good reputation.

Chen Guifen was pointed at in her hometown and dubbed with the title of "Spittoon."

Her parents and family heard this and were furious; her mother even had a heart attack because of it.

After experiencing her mother's serious illness, Chen Guifen was struck by a bolt from the blue and woke up from her dream. From then on, she turned over a new leaf, no longer associating with any male students in the school, focusing solely on her studies, and not caring how her classmates discussed her behind her back. She just wanted to win back some dignity.

In the past, when Chen Guifen saw Li Heng outside, her gaze would dodge, but now she was open and aboveboard, and even dared to talk to him normally.

Li Heng said thank you, took the letters, and asked, "Are you still in touch with Zhou Min, Liu Yue, and the others?"

Chen Guifen replied, "I'm still in touch with Minmin. As for Liu Yue, there's not much contact. I heard she's studying and working part-time in Silicon Valley; she must be very busy."

Thinking of Zhou Min, who had always had a good relationship with him, he asked one more question: "How is Zhou Min doing at Cambridge?"

"She's doing quite well. She said she wasn't used to it there at first, but now she's much better," Chen Guifen replied.

Li Heng asked, "I heard you also want to study abroad?"

Hearing this, a trace of insecurity flashed in Chen Guifen's eyes: "Yes, I've thought about it, but I don't have the opportunity."

She really wanted to use studying abroad to get rid of other people's pointing fingers, but her family was poor, and studying abroad could only be a luxury; it wasn't that easy to get into.

After chatting briefly, seeing the professor on the podium looking over from time to time, the two sensibly stopped the topic and listened to the lecture seriously.

After the first class, Li Heng ran to the Finance and Accounting class to find Mai Sui.

Although everyone in the whole school knew what the relationship between the two was, every time he went to the Finance and Accounting class, the noisy atmosphere of the class would instantly become quiet, and everyone's eyes would focus on him. One reason was to see this celebrity up close, and the second was to gossip about his interaction with Mai Sui.

Regarding the fact that a great beauty like Mai Sui was willing to be Li Heng's confidante, the boys in the Finance and Accounting class, and even all the boys at Fudan, secretly felt it was a pity and felt heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do. They could only watch Li Heng and Mai Sui interact and exchange glances.

Many boys secretly comforted themselves, thinking: *Fortunately, fortunately! Fortunately, it's only Mai Sui and Li Heng who are unclear, and fortunately, the most beautiful woman at Fudan and even in Shanghai, Zhou Shihe, is in our class. Fortunately, the human goddess Zhou Shihe and Li Heng don't have any ambiguous relationship, otherwise they would all die of grief! *

Zhou Shihe was peerlessly beautiful, talented, and had a gentle and moving temperament, almost satisfying all the male compatriots' fantasies about the opposite sex. In the eyes of the vast majority of boys, she was beautiful and inviolable.

Seeing Li Heng come over, Ye Ning automatically gave up his seat.

Li Heng didn't stand on ceremony, sat down next to Mai Sui, and asked, "Are you staying in the dormitory these two days?"

Mai Sui gave a gentle "Mm."

Li Heng was silent for a moment and said, "I went to Xu Hui the day before yesterday afternoon and just came back from there this morning."

Mai Sui knew the intention behind his words and knew he was worried about her. She immediately picked up a pen, drew a simple heart pattern on her notebook, and added a footnote with two words: *Don't worry about me. *

Li Heng looked at the pattern and smiled. This wasn't the simple sketch he liked to draw when he was bored; he hadn't expected Mai Sui to have learned it.

Li Heng felt relieved and said, "How cute. We'll go back to Lushan Village to stay tonight."

Mai Sui gave a charming smile and agreed softly, "Okay."

To Mai Sui's left was Zhou Shihe.

Although Miss Zhou's gaze was on her own book, she heard the conversation between the two clearly. Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of that heart pattern, and two scenes inexplicably appeared in her mind:

The first scene was Li Heng pressing Sui Sui on the sofa, the two of them kissing passionately.

The second scene took place in the library reading room, where he pressed her against the bookshelf and, in her panic, kissed her for a full 2 minutes.

Sometimes, Zhou Shihe really didn't dare to overlap the Li Heng who said "I fell in love with Zhou Shihe at first sight" to Wang Ye in the private room of the Blue Sky Hotel with this philandering man.

Class break wasn't long; Li Heng and Mai Sui chatted for a while and then left.

Before leaving, Li Heng said to Mai Sui, "Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch together; wait for me."

"Mm," Mai Sui agreed obediently.

Returning to the classroom, Li Heng checked the letters.

There were 7 letters.

No surprise, one was from Zijin, and one was from Song Yu.

As for the other 5, they were all love letters written by some admirers.

According to habit, Li Heng just took a look and that was it; he had no intention of opening the envelopes.

But when he glanced at the second-to-last letter, he was stunned. This is...

This is Li Ran's handwriting?

With curiosity, he opened the letter.

Upon reading it, it was indeed written by Li Ran.

Inside was just one piece of paper with two paragraphs of text.

In the first paragraph, Li Ran wrote: *I have failed your kindness many times and haven't been able to work properly at the New Future School. I feel very guilty. I express my deepest apologies for this. *

In the second paragraph, this girl told him: *I have arrived safely in Yangcheng. This is a flower-filled world with many handsome guys and pretty girls. If you have the chance, you can come over and try the taste of the women here; you might have unexpected gains. Maybe we can have a competition to see who has handled more men and women. *

Li Heng was speechless. Li Ran was indeed Li Ran; she really couldn't change her nature. He just didn't know if that young master from the Zhao family was still with her?

If that Zhao family young master was there, she probably wouldn't be able to touch any men even if she wanted to.

The last letter, hmm? Another familiar handwriting?

Without hesitation, he tore it open.

This letter was even simpler than Li Ran's: *If you go home during the summer vacation, come visit the teacher. *

There was no signature, no name of the sender.

Li Heng chewed on it three times, then picked up the envelope to check. Sure enough, the mailing address was from Shaoshi No. 1 High School.

He found it a bit strange; he could clearly contact him through Yu Laoshi's phone, yet she chose to write a letter, and the content was so short, sparing words like gold, as if she were afraid of wasting any more ink.

Did the high school English teacher break up with Yu Laoshi?

Or was it that Comrade Wang Runwen simply didn't want Yu Laoshi to know she was in contact with him?

Looking at Wang Laoshi's envelope, he suddenly thought of that extremely sexy body. If anyone touched her, they probably wouldn't be willing to get out of bed for three days and three nights.

Purely in terms of the temptation of physical desire, among all the women he had known in two lifetimes, Mai Sui ranked first, belonging to an existence that left everyone else in the dust; no one could compare.

Wang Laoshi could rank second.

That big cousin Li Xi in Xiangjiang could rank third.

Or perhaps Wang Laoshi and Li Xi belonged to the same level; both were of the explosive body type, the kind that a 20cm ruler couldn't measure to the bottom.

As for the fourth, it might be a bit disrespectful, but it was indeed an elder: Mai Sui's mother.

Thinking about it, if Mai Sui's mother didn't have that kind of charm, it would be very difficult to give birth to a peerless stunner like Mai Sui.

After much deliberation, he still didn't reply to the high school English teacher.

The reason was very simple: he would definitely return to Xiangnan during the summer vacation to go to Dongting Lake, but he couldn't determine the date yet.

So, he simply didn't reply and would decide when he returned to Xiangnan.

Putting the unimportant letters aside, Li Heng began to read Zijin's letter.

As in the past, the first paragraph of Zijin's letter was about the recent situation of her school life, and the second paragraph was about the love affair between the two.

As the letter was about to end, Zijin mentioned Liu Li, saying that Liu Li was dating a junior, which made the previous senior very dissatisfied. That senior had already gone to cause trouble for Liu Li's girlfriend openly and secretly four times. When dining with Song Yu, Xiao Feng, and Yingwen, Liu Li got dead drunk and complained bitterly.

After reading the letter, Li Heng observed a three-second silence for Comrade Liu Li. This guy himself didn't quite understand these twists and turns; he used to think the senior's desire for control was too strong, which was why he didn't dare to be with her. He hadn't expected that even after dating a junior, he still couldn't escape the other party's entanglement. This was quite annoying.

However, it's hard for an honest official to settle family disputes; others couldn't help with matters of the heart, so Liu Li had to solve it himself.

Spending half an hour seriously writing a reply to Zijin, he later spent several dozen minutes writing a letter to Song Yu.

When he finished the last stroke, he couldn't help but guess: what exactly were Song Yu and his scheming wife talking about in their correspondence?

By the time he finished the two letters, half of the fourth class had already passed. Li Heng was multitasking and had a rough understanding of the textbook knowledge, so it didn't delay his course progress.

At this time, taking advantage of the teacher on the podium not paying attention, Li Guoyi and Tang Dailing swapped seats and moved closer to Li Heng.

Li Heng glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Old Li, do you have something to find me for?"

Li Guoyi muttered, "Brother Heng, when will you have time to drink together?"

Li Heng put the letters away and said with some worry, "Isn't your body recuperating? The doctor won't let you drink. When your body is better, I'll accompany you to drink to your heart's content."

Li Guoyi said recklessly, "Damn it! I haven't eaten meat or drunk alcohol for a long time; I'm almost fading away. I don't care about that. Everyone says you're writing a new book; when will you finish writing, and when will you have time? Let's have the two dormitories get together."

Li Heng looked at him and said, "I have time whenever."

Li Guoyi slapped the table and said, "Then let's get together tonight; I'll go contact them."

Li Heng said, "Done."

Li Guoyi left and went to discuss the joint dinner tonight with Zhou Zhangming, Li Guang, and the others.

Tang Dailing sat back in his original position and lowered his voice: "Old Heng, do you think the 107 girls' dormitory will come?"

Li Heng asked, "Are you talking about the dinner tonight?"

Tang Dailing scratched the back of his head: "Because of Le Yao and Liu An's business, the girls don't really like Old Li. I'm afraid they might not come."

Li Heng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "They will come."

He had lunch with Mai Sui in the cafeteria.

He asked, "How come Manning and the others didn't come with you?"

Mai Sui said, "For the student dinner, Ye Ning and Manning both went, while Shihe went back to Lushan Village to rest. I'll bring her food later."

Li Heng asked, "Is Comrade Shihe feeling unwell?"

"Mm, a woman's problem," Mai Sui replied ambiguously.

Hearing this, Li Heng didn't ask anymore, nor did he ask why she didn't go to the student union dinner.

Because of him, Mai Sui basically hadn't participated in any student union activities.

Monday had the most classes, with a full schedule in the morning and a full schedule in the afternoon. Li Heng rarely didn't miss any, acting like a good boy in the classroom for a whole day.

The counselor Liu Jia even laughed and said, "Great Writer Li, you working so hard to attend class not only makes me unaccustomed to it, but even those subject teachers are unaccustomed to it. They even said at the Academic Affairs Office that when you sit here, everyone feels pressure."

Li Heng asked, "Counselor, then should I skip class?"

The counselor waved his hand. "If you have time, then you should still attend class. Those teachers were just saying it verbally; they still quite like you attending their classes. At the very least, it proves one point: their classes have quality and have attracted you."

Well, isn't this offending people?

Him coming to class proves that the teacher has quality.

If he skips class, wouldn't that indirectly convey a message to the outside world that this teacher's class has no quality? That it doesn't matter whether you listen or not?

After the 8th class, the 325 dormitory gathered together. Except for Zhang Bing who went home, they marched neatly toward the base camp, Old Li Restaurant.

Seven or eight minutes later, the entire 107 girls' dormitory arrived.

Uh, Le Yao had already gone to Japan to study, so she didn't count.

The old rules: Liu Yanling sat with Zhou Zhangming, and Wei Sisi and Tang Dailing were inseparable.

Hu Ping looked at Wei Xiaozhu, seeing that Wei Xiaozhu ignored him completely. As a result, he was pulled over by Zhao Meng, who had a crush on him. Without saying anything, they drank a glass of wine first.

Old Li also secretly eyed Wei Xiaozhu for a long time, and finally became partners with the wild-natured Sun Ye.

Li Guang took Zhang Bing's place and sat next to Cai Yuanyuan.

Li Heng chose a seat by the window, and Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing sat next to him as usual.
