If he didn’t return to the dorm tonight, it wouldn’t take long before Zhou Shihe heard about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhou’s intelligence, she’d quickly guess who he’d been with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhaoyi picked up the car keys. “Let me see you off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng looked up at the bright moon in the sky. “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat in silence in the car, savoring their rare moment together, until the car stopped near the school gate, when Li Heng finally spoke: “Exams are coming soon—I’ll be busy. I’ll visit the company during summer break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company he meant was Weihao Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhaoyi had been waiting for this exact phrase; upon hearing it, her eyes brightened instantly. “Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out, Li Heng didn’t linger outside—he walked straight through the school gate toward Dormitory Building 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because it was late, all the guys in Room 325 were already back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Ping, Zhou Zhangming, Tang Daling, and Li Guang were gathered around playing poker—Dou Niu—with a one-fen base stake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bing was writing a letter to his family nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him arrive, Zhou Zhangming asked: “Lao Heng, join a round for fun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng shook his head and sat down. “I drank a bit—I’ll just watch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Daling turned and asked: “Heng Ge, did the sun rise in the west? You’re sleeping in the dorm tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng smiled. “I haven’t slept here in a while—I missed you guys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his current status and social standing, these words delighted the roommates immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he claimed to be watching, Li Heng didn’t just sit idle—he occasionally placed small bets on the side, rotating his wagers among players. By the end of the night, he ended up losing the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost over nine yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhangming, wetting his fingers as he counted his winnings, grinned broadly: “I won five yuan one jiao two fen—I’ll take Yanling out to eat tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhangming and Liu Yanling were now deeply affectionate, practically inseparable, and widely regarded as the model couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you asked who had the strongest relationship, it was Tang Daling and Wei Sisi—they were clearly heading toward marriage right after graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted merrily, Hu Ping called out to Zhang Bing: “Lao Zhang, what the hell are you doing? You’ve been writing for hours—still not done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bing tapped his forehead with his pen cap. “It’s not just a letter—I read a bit too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guang asked: “Bing Ge, what book are you reading? Why are you reading while writing a letter? You’re not focused.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bing picked up the book on the table and showed them the cover: “Dream of the Red Chamber. My wife’s obsessed with it lately—she writes me letters talking about the story. I didn’t know how to reply, so I read the book exactly as she described it, so I can answer properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone fell silent, unsure how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Lao Zhang not fond of his wife? Judging by his letter-writing attitude, he adored her—undoubtedly an exceptional husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was he truly fond of his wife? Both Lianyi  dorms knew Zhang Bing’s heart leaned more toward Bai Wanying in spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet what exactly was Bai Wanying’s attitude toward Zhang Bing? Both dorms speculated behind his back, but none could figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Daling chimed in: “Bing Ge, reading Dream of the Red Chamber this superficially won’t help. You need to read it slowly at least twice to even begin to understand it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhangming said: “I quit halfway through. I loved Qin Keqing—and then Jia Zhen ate her. What the hell! I was so furious I tore the book apart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the dorm’s conversation veered off-topic, sparking a heated debate: Was Qin Keqing forced, or did she consent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhangming and Li Guang believed Qin Keqing was coerced by Jia Zhen’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Daling, Hu Ping, and Zhang Bing thought she may have consented—living separately from Jia Rong for years meant a sexless marriage, leaving her emotionally empty, so she turned to Jia Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides argued fiercely, spitting saliva, each convinced they were right—until Hu Ping smacked his thigh: “Damn it! We’ve got Da Wenhao Li Heng right here—why are we arguing? Let him settle this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boys turned to Li Heng, asking for his opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng rolled over and said: “What you’ve said all sounds plausible. But Qin Keqing’s fate poem says: ‘Love’s sky, love’s sea, illusionary form; when love meets love, lust must follow.’ It implies her inherently passionate nature, intense emotional needs, and susceptibility to temptation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Ping smacked his thigh again: “Damn! How did I forget that fate poem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the late night, they stopped debating whether Qin Keqing consented—and instead analyzed the thrills and physical details of Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing’s affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng didn’t join in—he closed his eyes and rested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on! He had stunning beauties all around him—Song Yu and Zhou Shihe, women of unparalleled beauty. He had zero interest in Qin Keqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Li Heng woke early and went outside to buy breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By coincidence, he ran into Ye Ning just outside the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng asked: “Why are you alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hypocrite—you’re just asking about Shihe,” Ye Ning retorted smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng didn’t mind. “Yes. How come Shihe isn’t with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ning said: “She’s sleeping in the dorm, still asleep. Of course it’s just me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng was surprised: “In my memory, Shihe never sleeps in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ning shot back: “In my memory, you weren’t this promiscuous before. Yesterday was her twentieth birthday! The man she finally opened her heart to calls in Song Yu to compete with her—would you sleep if you were her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng stopped walking, silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ning waved her right hand in front of him and whispered: “Hey, Li the Rich Man—have you really decided you only want to marry Song Yu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng stared into her eyes for a long moment. “Did you tell her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ning nodded sheepishly. “I drank too much at dinner, saw you and Song Yu whispering so intimately—I got hot-headed and told Shihe. Sorry—I regretted it the moment I sobered up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng sighed heavily, then asked after a long pause: “What was Shihe’s reaction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ning recalled: “She didn’t react much—just went back to the dorm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as feared, it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worries now reality, Li Heng didn’t bother blaming the fool—he crossed the street to buy breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Lushan Village, the clock had just struck 7:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Haiyan, Chen Xiaoyu, and Sun Man were chatting in the first-floor living room; when they saw him, they all turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng asked: “Just the three of you? Where are Xiao Han and Song Yu?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1167,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6944441d4cdbefffe359e8f53947bbc71788712b4c4fce47275d8d103ebd3e98","1987-my-era-chapter-668","1987-my-era-chapter-666",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
