1987 My Era

Chapter 246, What Happened at Night (Please Subscribe!)

After standing on the balcony for a while, Li Heng returned to the house amidst speculation.

"Teacher, the aunt is here." He walked to the sofa and asked even though he knew the answer.

"Yeah." Yu Shuheng hummed lightly, without taking his eyes off the newspaper.

Li Heng reached into his pocket, took out the mutton-fat jade pendant and placed it on the table, saying, "I drank too much last night."

His seemingly insignificant words actually explained why he slept with her and why he grabbed the mutton-fat jade pendant.

After a while, Yu Shuheng slowly raised her head. She didn't look at the jade pendant on the coffee table, but looked into his eyes quietly. After a while, she asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

"What's the matter?" Facing each other, Li Heng inexplicably felt an invisible pressure and asked in a daze.

He was so drunk that he really couldn't remember anything. Did he sleep with her?
But how is that possible? I woke up this morning fully dressed, and it was obvious that I hadn't done anything.

Yu Shuheng stared at him for a while, then said, "Go and boil a pot of water for the teacher. I'm a little thirsty."

"Oh, okay!" Li Heng got up upon hearing the voice and went to the kitchen on the first floor.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away on the stairwell, Yu Shuheng was stunned for a moment, then she tightened the left side of her coat around her chest with her right hand and tried to read the newspaper again.

But she couldn't concentrate on watching it at this moment. A scene kept appearing in her mind: the black sweater on her left chest was bulging and some lines were exposed.

The key point is that this dress was bought not long ago, the price is very expensive, it was bought from an acquaintance, and it is the second time I wear it, so there will be no quality problems.

What's more, she has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time before changing clothes, she will check her clothes carefully to avoid any mistakes.

Of course, these are not the most important.

The most important thing is that she vaguely remembered some scenes and noticed his situation this morning.
Yu Shuheng upstairs was thinking, and Li Heng downstairs was also reminiscing
Why does the teacher ask this?

Where did I go wrong?
After filling the teapot with water and about to put it on the stove, he suddenly remembered something that Zijin in his previous life always teased him about: she said that when he was asleep, he always liked to put his hands on her private parts.

He has always been skeptical about this because he has no perception at all.

Later he asked Song Yu, but Song Yu just smiled and never gave a direct answer.

I also asked Xiao Han, and this daughter-in-law was even more amazing. She asked back with a dimple on her face: Mr. Li, have you harmed anyone outside again?

Is it true? Do I really have the habit of grabbing something before sleeping?

After carefully thinking through everything that happened from last night to this morning, he suddenly shuddered all over and almost dropped the teapot in his hand.

Damn it, don’t scare me like that. I’ll have to ask Zijin again later.

His mind was a little confused, and Li Heng didn't know how he got back to the second floor, including pouring boiling water, putting tea leaves in the pot, and bringing them to her. He did it all in one go without being aware of it.

Yu Shuheng seemed to notice that something was wrong with him, but she just glanced at him a few more times and said nothing. She returned to her normal cold self.

In fact, Li Heng admired her a little. When she taught the class on the podium, she always had a smile on her face, spoke softly, and interacted with everyone very well, making the students feel like spring breeze.

But as soon as she turned her face away and left the teaching building, the words "No Trespassing" were clearly written on her face, making people who were not familiar with her dare not approach her rashly.

In a word, according to the needs of the occasion, the smiling face and the cold face can be switched freely, and the contrast is huge.

On the other side, there is Building No. 25 opposite.

Shen Xin, Yu Shuheng's mother, picked up the phone and called the piano training institution, only to be told that Chen Siya had gone home for something.

After hanging up the phone, she took out a phone book from her bag, turned to page 20, and dialed the landline number again.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

The phone was connected after two rings, and Chen Siya's voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"

"Siya, it's me."

"Oh, Aunt Shen, good morning. Why are you calling so early in the morning?"

Shen Xin asked: "Let me ask you something."

Chen Siya replied: "You say."

Shen Xin asked: "Is Shuheng at your place? I have something urgent to discuss with her."

Hearing the urgent matter, Chen Siya didn't think much and blurted out: "Auntie, I went back to my parents' home, Shuheng didn't come, you go to Lushan Village to see, she went back last night."

Shen Xin asked: "Are you sure you're going back?"

"Sure, before I left last night, Fu Yanjie and I met her in the alley." Chen Siya replied.

No wonder she was not on guard, because she left in a hurry last night. She only knew that her best friend came back from home and seemed a little unhappy, but time was tight, so she left in a hurry without asking any questions.

Shen Xin frowned, "I'm in Building 25, Lushan Village now."

"what?"

With a cry, Chen Siya came to her senses, then looked at her watch and said, "It's just past 7 o'clock, Shuheng may not be up yet."

Shen Xin interrupted her: "I checked several bedrooms, the bedding is neat, and no one is inside."

Chen Siya explained: "He probably wasn't at home. He might have stayed overnight across the street."

Shen Xin raised his head and looked towards Building 26, and asked in confusion: "Opposite?"

"Yes." Chen Siya replied.

Shen Xin stood up and asked: "Are you talking about Building 26 across the street?"

Chen Siya said: "Yes, Auntie, Shuheng has encountered some problems recently and has been staying overnight there"

It took Chen Siya one or two minutes to recount the whole story of her best friend's sleep paralysis.

After listening patiently, Shen Xin took a deep breath, and a face involuntarily appeared in his mind: the face of Li Heng lying on the balcony.
"Okay, got it. Thank you, Siya." Shen Xin said. "You're welcome, Auntie. I'll hang up now. I have something to do here." Chen Siya said.

"Well, hang up."

This is where the call ends.

After putting the receiver back, Shen Xin calmed himself down and calmed his emotions, then turned around and went downstairs, heading straight for Building 26.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There were two knocks on the door downstairs, neither loud nor soft. Li Heng stood up instinctively and walked towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng, who had been holding a teacup and had been ignoring him, called out to him, "Don't open the door."

Li Heng stopped, looking confused.

Yu Shuheng blew slowly on the edge of the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said elegantly: "It's so early, even if Xiao Han got up and took the bus immediately, she wouldn't be able to make it. Mai Sui has the key, and Editor-in-Chief Liao and his team wouldn't choose this time to visit. It's probably my mother."

Li Heng was stunned. Half believing and half doubting, he went up to the attic and secretly glanced down.

After just one glance, he retreated back into the house: "Auntie doesn't look very good. I guess she knows that you are here with me, teacher."

"Ah."

"What about me?"

Her eyes swept over him, and Yu Shuheng suddenly pointed at the mutton-fat jade pendant on the coffee table and said with a smile, "If you're afraid that she'll cause you trouble, put it on before you go open the door."

Then she added: "Wear it somewhere conspicuous, where my mother can see it at a glance."

Li Heng: “.”

He was dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?
After a moment's silence, he asked, "Is Auntie urging me to get married?"

Yu Shuheng took another sip of tea and asked, "Why? Am I old?"

He is not stupid and will not answer such a question that is not pleasing to both sides.

After listening to the knocking on the door downstairs for a while, he sighed: "Auntie knows I'm at home, it's not a good idea to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Yu Shuheng's gaze stayed on his face for a long time, and finally put down the teacup and quietly left the second floor.

Li Heng called from behind: "Teacher Yu, jade pendant."

Yu Shuheng seemed not to hear anything, and her elegant and intellectual figure disappeared at the stairs slowly.

She walked through the first floor hall and came to the door, reaching out to pull the bolt.

With a creak, the door opened. She yawned and said indifferently, "I just got up. I have something to talk about at home."

Glancing at his daughter and looking behind her, Shen Xin stood at the door for several seconds before turning around and entering Building 25 with his daughter.

After returning to the second floor one after the other, Shen Xin finally couldn't hold back and asked her daughter, "Are you the only two in the whole building?"

"Ah."

"From what Siya said, he is your student."

"Ah."

"If you are afraid of sleep paralysis, from today on, mom will come and sleep with you at night."

"it is good."

"Get dressed, change your clothes, and go out with me."

"late."

"What's late?" Shen Xin asked.

Yu Shuheng said: "I slept with him last night."

Shen Xin's eyes widened, and she didn't react for a moment: "Who did you sleep with?"

Yu Shuheng said nothing and just made tea for herself.

Looking at his daughter in confusion, it took him a long time to recover and take a deep breath. Shen Xin's eyes narrowed and his voice instantly rose several decibels: "With the boy next door?"

"Ah."

"What's wrong with you! Isn't he your student?" Shen Xin was so angry and anxious that he almost cursed.

Yu Shuheng turned around and faced her mother. Without arguing or saying anything, she sat down to rest.

The situation froze for a moment. Impulsively, Shen Xin wanted to go across and grab Li Heng to ask him about it face to face. But in the end, reason prevailed and she sat across from her daughter and asked:
"Are you threatening mom? I introduced you to someone, but you slept with the boy across the street?"

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, still saying nothing, and kept you guessing.

But this ambiguous strategy obviously worked well. Shen Xin noticed that the jade pendant that her daughter had worn for more than ten years was missing: "Where is the ancestral jade pendant that your grandmother left for you?"

"Send it to him."

Yu Shuheng said this calmly, as if what he was giving was not a jade pendant, but a piece of stone.

Shen Xin's mood, which had just calmed down, immediately began to surge again: "Using a student to evade me, this is not like your style."

Yu Shuheng found a piece of paper and pen from the coffee table, wrote a line of words, and moved to her mother.

Shen Xin picked up the paper in confusion, lowered her head and read it. After reading it, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Yu Shuheng took off her coat, took off the black sweater in the middle and handed it to her:
"This one is broken. Go buy me a new one when you have time."
