Chapter 647: The Dragon Boat Festival is here

Returned to the small building at No. 26.

Li Heng first stood on the loft in the dark and gazed at the night sky for a while. He didn't think about anything, just stood by the railing, listening to the rain and calming his mind.

After about half an hour, he entered the study and began to read and write.

Today's Zhou Shihe had a great impact on him, especially those two lines of clear tears, which exhausted all the grievances and hesitation in the girl's heart.

Li Heng knew clearly why she was aggrieved.

He also knew clearly why she was hesitant.

Spreading out the notebook, unscrewing the fountain pen, and opening the ink bottle, Li Heng paused, directly omitting the prelude of reading books and studying literature materials, and the nib rustled on the white paper: Chapter 59.

The white Han army marched away.

They left in the middle of the night, gathering the troops without even saying goodbye.

When I got up in the morning, I only saw the person they left for me, the officer trapped on the execution post, with a short sword of his own people stuck in his chest.

Didn't know if it was the effect of that slap? Blocked for several days, tonight his thoughts were flowing like a spring, and his inspiration was bursting.

Writing tirelessly, he wrote more than 7,600 words in one breath before stopping.

When the last word ended, Li Heng felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

A thousand thoughts converged into a golden avenue, a path leading to perfection, making him feel extremely refreshed!

Damn it, it was just that he was a bit desperate to pee.

Before he could enjoy himself, a sense of urgency to urinate struck, forcing him to get up and leave the study.

Very unexpectedly, just out of the study, he actually saw Sun Manning sitting on the sofa alone, eating melon seeds.

The TV was on, but there was no program at this time, and the screen was full of snow dots.

Li Heng asked, "It's almost 2:00 AM, why are you here alone?"

Sun Manning asked, "Can't I be here?"

Li Heng gestured, "No, how did you get in? I remember the courtyard gate was locked, right?"

Sun Manning puffed out her large chest, "Are you sure it was locked?"

His gaze wandered over her chest without a trace. Li Heng felt a bit unconfident after being asked; could it be that it really wasn't locked?

With suspicion, he rushed toward the washroom.

After finishing, Li Heng washed his hands, reappeared in the living room, walked over, and asked, "Did something happen? You came over alone? Where are Ye Ning and Comrade Shihe?"

Sun Manning asked with a grin, "Tell me, among the three of us, who do you focus on? My pair of big breasts? Or Ye Ning's airport? Or Shihe?"

Listen, listen!

Was this something a virgin could say?

Those who didn't know would think they had met a female hooligan at first hearing.

Li Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Don't giggle; your behavior tonight is very abnormal."

Hearing this, Sun Manning put down the melon seeds in her palm, clapped her hands, and said, "Then let's have something not abnormal. Have you slept with Professor Yu yet?"

Li Heng: "..."

Staring straight into her eyes, Li Heng asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Sun Manning stretched, deliberately exposing a pair of plump breasts in front of him, and teased, "Curious! My chest is so big, can't I be curious?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, "If you seduce me like this again, I'll twist them off and use them as steamed bun filling tomorrow morning."

"Hahaha!"

Sun Manning laughed loudly. Under his displeased expression, she finally put her hands down, leaned forward, and said, "Don't be ungrateful. I came to guard your house. You didn't even close the door, and I didn't have your key, so, I could only sit here and wither."

Looking at this crazy girl in front of him, intuition told Li Heng that things weren't that simple, but no matter how he probed later, he had no harvest.

It was really that this girl's mouth was tight, and she didn't reveal even a bit of wind.

Could it be that she had sensed his relationship with Zhou Gu Niang?

For a moment, Li Heng suspected this.

After asking a round of questions without getting any answers, Li Heng stood up in low spirits. Walking toward the study, he opened his mouth, "You go to Mai Sui's room to rest tonight. Goodnight."

Sun Manning asked behind him, "You're not sleeping yet?"

"I'm in good spirits now; I'll revise for a while longer," Li Heng waved his hand.

That night, Li Heng stayed up all night, not only refining Chapter 59 three times but also starting Chapter 60, which was the final chapter.

The next day, at noon.

Mai Sui returned.

She first went to the master bedroom for a turn, seeing the bed was cool and empty.

She turned and pushed open the study door. This time, unlike in the past, she wasn't cautious but walked straight to him and said with concern, "I heard from Manning that you stayed up all night writing. Are you still not sleeping now?"

"It's fine; I'm in high spirits," he said.

Mai Sui said with heartache, "Your eyes are red."

Li Heng touched his eyes and raised his head, "How is Grandpa's health at home?"

Mentioning Grandpa's health, Mai Sui suddenly lost her voice.

Li Heng put down his pen and reached out to pull her over, "Not ideal?"

"Hmm, he can't get out of bed anymore; eating, drinking, and excreting all need people to serve him. The doctor said he's afraid he won't last long," Mai Sui choked up.

Li Heng was silent upon hearing this, and after a while, he asked, "Do you want to transfer your grandfather to a hospital in Shanghai or the capital to see?"

Mai Sui shook her head, "My dad sent him to Xiangya, and the doctors there said treatment was meaningless. It's better to take advantage of this time to go home and eat something good, eat something he wanted to eat before but couldn't."

In a word, he was already terminally ill, and there was no need to avoid food. He could eat whatever he wanted in the last stage of his life.

Li Heng held her in his arms to show comfort, silent for a long time.

After a while, footsteps came from the stairwell. The two looked at each other and hurriedly let go.

Mai Sui walked out of the study first.

Li Heng tidied up the manuscript and fountain pen and followed out of the study.

The person who came was Yu Shuheng.

Mai Sui knew the other party was looking for Li Heng, so she called out "Professor" and left, holding her books to the teaching building.

"You look exhausted; didn't you sleep last night?" Yu Shuheng observed carefully and asked.

"Hmm, I was quite energetic, but as soon as I put down the pen, I suddenly wanted to sleep," Li Heng yawned.

Then he asked, "Professor, what did you go to Shaodong for?"

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly, "Helping you find a little wife."

Li Heng: "..."

Only a ghost would believe this.

Seeing that Professor Yu didn't intend to say, Li Heng tactfully didn't ask anymore.

Yu Shuheng took out two drafts for him, "The total revenue of the pure music album for the last 5 months is 3.2 million pounds. Shihe and I each get 320,000 pounds, and you get 2.56 million pounds."

Li Heng was surprised, "Still so much?"

Yu Shuheng nodded, "Large amount, this is estimated to be the last time. There will only be some scattered money in the future."

Li Heng took the two drafts. One converted into RMB was 30.72 million yuan, and one was 3.84 million yuan.

Li Heng flicked the drafts and said happily, "One album, directly stuffed me."

Yu Shuheng said meaningfully, "Little brother, you said this too early. With so many women and children to support in the future, this bit of money is afraid to be enough."

Li Heng: "..."

He pretended not to hear and didn't pick up the topic.

Yu Shuheng talked about another thing, "Yesterday afternoon, I talked to Old Fu on the phone. The revenue of Hengyuan Capital in the Tokyo stock market has exceeded 100 million US dollars."

Hearing such a large sum of money, Li Heng's eyes turned green, "This is a piece of news worth celebrating. I'll cook a table of good food tonight, and we'll drink some wine to celebrate."

Yu Shuheng smiled and said okay, asking, "Is your new book finished?"

Li Heng said, "Soon, only the last half chapter left."

Yu Shuheng circled around him and even leaned in to smell, "Not bad, haven't touched any women recently."

Li Heng: "..."

Yu Shuheng said, "Your Aunt Shen Xin instructed me, saying to go to my house for dinner during the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you have time?"

Li Heng thought for a while, hesitated, and shook his head, "I can't give the professor a definite answer yet."

Being refused on such a big matter, Yu Shuheng's eyes immediately half-closed, and she stood still and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Heng was afraid she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "It's not where I'm going, but someone might come over."

Yu Shuheng looked into his eyes and didn't ask anymore.

In the evening, to celebrate the happy event of Hengyuan Investment earning over 100 million US dollars, Li Heng cooked himself and made a table of good dishes to treat everyone.

Since returning from the performance in the Netherlands, this was the first time Professor Yu and Zhou Shihe sat at the same table. The two women sat on the other side of the table, and neither took the initiative to speak.

This scene made Mai Sui, Sun Manning, and Ye Ning secretly confused, thinking: Even if the musical philosophy doesn't match, it shouldn't be such a bitter hatred, right? Sure enough, beautiful women have no reason to be unreasonable when they have a dark face.

Regarding this, Li Heng turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. After all, whether it was Professor Yu or Zhou Gu Niang, they were both noble people with distinct personalities and strong opinions. If there was no good opportunity, his rash mediation would just be a waste of saliva.

After the meal, Li Heng privately handed a 3.84 million RMB draft to Zhou Shihe, "This is the revenue of the pure music album for the last 5 months. Professor Yu said that there should be some scattered money in the future, but there won't be such a round number."

Zhou Shihe reached out to take the draft, glanced at it, and said, "Thank you, and thank Professor Yu for me too."

Li Heng joked, "No need to thank me; this is what you deserve. If you want to thank Professor Yu, go thank her to her face."

Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly and walked away quietly.

In the following days, Li Heng kept running back and forth between the classroom and the study. When he finished the last chapter of "Dust Settles," he gave himself a three-day vacation.

Three days later, he tirelessly took out all the manuscripts, started to sort them out from the beginning, and started to check and revise them from the beginning, striving for excellence and perfection.

May 23rd, at 2:00 PM sharp, Li Heng walked out of the study with the latest stack of manuscripts.

Mai Sui, who was waiting in the living room, got up to greet him and asked, "Is the new book finally finished?"

"Hmm, all revised, finalized." Finally getting "Dust Settles" done, his shoulders instantly relaxed.

Mai Sui smiled charmingly and sent her blessings, "Congratulations!"

Li Heng showed his neat teeth, smiled brightly, and stretched out his hands toward her.

Mai Sui understood, walked forward two steps, took the initiative to walk into his arms, and hugged him.

After hugging each other for a while, she raised her head slightly, "Are you going to Xu Hui?"

"Yes, since the new book is finished, I have to take it to the professor to see."

Li Heng patted his backpack and asked, "Do you want to go with me for a walk?"

Mai Sui was a bit moved, but thinking that Xu Hui was Xiao Han's territory, she tactfully refused, "I'm going to the library with Shihe and Xiaozhu later; we've already made an appointment."

"Okay." Li Heng nodded and didn't force it.

After all, his new home with Xiao Han was on Wukang Road, next to Old Man Ba. If he took Mai Sui there, there was still a certain risk of bumping into Xiao Han.

The reason he invited Mai Sui just now was really because he loved this virtuous and home-loving woman so much that he had the impulse to take her wherever he went.

Li Heng left and took the bus to Xu Hui.

It was a coincidence that he met Li Guoyi and Dai Qing. However, the two didn't discuss it; it was also a coincidence that they were waiting for the bus.

The bus came, and the three sat in the back seats by the window.

Li Guoyi pulled out two cigarettes like a treasure, stuffed one into his mouth with a grin, and took out a lighter to help him light it, "Brother Heng, where are you going?"

Li Heng glanced at Dai Qing beside him, then glanced at the dozen or so uncles and grandpas smoking on the bus, and didn't put out the cigarette, giving face, "I'm going to Xu Hui, to the professor's house."

Then he asked, "How about you? Old Li, where are you going? Don't you have class later?"

Li Guoyi put his hands together and said, "This monk is going to Jing'an Temple to offer incense to the Buddha."

Dai Qing interjected, "Is today a special day? Li Guoyi, you even want to skip class to offer incense?"

Li Guoyi tilted his head and asked Dai Qing, "Beauty Qing, do you believe in Buddha?"

For the past two years, Li Guoyi had occasionally called Dai Qing "Beauty Qing," and Dai Qing was already used to it.

Dai Qing shook her head and said, "I don't believe in this; I only believe in myself."

This made Li Heng couldn't help but think of his own wife, who was also someone who didn't believe in fate.

Li Guoyi put his hands together again, "Seek the Buddha's way above, and transform all living beings below. Buddha is a good thing, ha. It can transcend reincarnation, and you won't enter hell after death. Amitabha!"

Li Heng and Dai Qing looked at each other, not understanding what this kid was doing for a while?

If you say he believes in Buddha, he is still giggling.

If you say he doesn't believe in Buddha, he even skipped class to go to Jing'an Temple.

Isn't this contradictory?

Dai Qing couldn't help but ask, "Then do you think you will go to heaven or hell after you die?"

"Shh!"

Li Guoyi held up a finger to his lips, shushed, and then opened his backpack, which was full of paper money and incense, and, and two paper beauties.

These two paper beauties completely stunned Li Heng and Dai Qing.

Dai Qing leaned in to look for a long time and asked, "The Buddha's gate is a pure place; do you want to burn these for them?"

Li Guoyi winked, "You are a woman, you don't understand. This is called bribery. As long as it's a man, there is no one who doesn't love money and beauties. Once they get my benefits, I will definitely go to heaven after I die."

Dai Qing couldn't listen anymore, "You are trampling."

Li Guoyi put his hands together again and said in a glib tone, "Beauty Qing, you are still too simple. When you graduate and enter society in the future, you will understand the true meaning of money and beauty."

Li Guoyi got off the bus halfway, leaving Li Heng and Dai Qing confused.

Dai Qing pondered for a moment and asked him, "Li Heng, what do you think of Li Guoyi's initiative today?"

Li Heng shook his head, "According to Li Guang and Brother Bing, after studying criminal law and 'Water Margin', Old Li has been practicing Buddhism recently, reading Buddhist books in the dormitory, and often running to Jing'an Temple to burn incense."

Dai Qing pondered and asked, "Could it be that he has changed his mind? Intending to let go of grievances and practice Buddhism to clarify his own heart?"

This question stumped Li Heng. Everyone in Dorm 325 couldn't figure out Li Guoyi's routine at all. Although his mouth was full of benevolence and righteousness, God knows what that guy was thinking in his heart?

After chatting for a while, Dai Qing asked a professional topic, "Are you going to find Xiao Han?"

Li Heng nodded and shook his head, "You could say that, but I have to go to the professor's house first." ===== CHAPTER 648 =====
