1987 My Era

Chapter 330, I Don’t Like It (Please Subscribe!)

Hearing Yu Shuheng's words, Mai Sui's mind instinctively emerged the scene of Teacher Yu in the study room staring at Li Heng's profile.

Li Heng looked at Teacher Yu and expressed his gratitude.

Because there were so many people, Zhou Shihe prepared dinner more thoroughly, and having Teacher Yu be able to provide enough food.

But Yu Shuheng didn't eat for nothing, she brought over two bottles of red wine, and as they drank and chatted, the atmosphere at the table remained very good.

After dinner, when everyone was drinking tea and resting on the sofa, an unexpected visitor came to Building 26, Editor-in-Chief Liao.

Li Heng was surprised, "Brother, why are you here at this time?"

Mai Sui stood up and poured a cup of tea for the other person.

Editor-in-Chief Liao took the tea, thanked Mai Sui, and then said, "I have something to ask you."

Li Heng understood and walked towards the study first.

Editor-in-Chief Liao follows up.

After entering the study and closing the door, Li Heng pointed to the sofa by the window and said, "Senior brother, sit down."

After Editor-in-Chief Liao sat down, he took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase and said, "These manuscripts have been read by others."

Li Heng pondered over this and understood its meaning: "Huang Zhaoyi?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao nodded and said, "I just came from the Huang family. Not only Zhaoyi has read these manuscripts, but Mr. Huang has probably read them as well."

Li Heng took the original manuscript, said nothing, and waited for the next words.

He felt that Editor-in-Chief Liao's visit in the dark was definitely not just to deliver the manuscript.

As expected, Editor-in-Chief Liao continued, “Why don’t you ask me why I care so much about Zhaoyi and the Huang family?”

Li Heng said: "I remember my senior brother once said that more than 20 years ago, Huang Zhaoyi's father was kind to you."

"It's not just a favor, it's a great favor. Otherwise, my parents would have passed away 20 years ago, and I wouldn't have everything I have now."

Editor-in-Chief Liao paused after speaking with emotion, and then apologized: "Originally, I hoped that the relationship between us brothers would be purer and not involve children's affairs, but sometimes I can't refuse."

Li Heng was silent for a while, then he smiled casually and said, "Did you sell me out again?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao smiled and said frankly: "I told you about your trip to Bailuyuan."

Li Heng said: "This is not a secret. If someone is really interested, it is easy to find out where I went."

Considering that she was able to follow me from the capital to Changshi, if she really wanted to know my whereabouts, it would not be difficult for her.

Editor Liao shook his head. "It's different. After all, it was me who said it."

Li Heng asked: "Brother, can you understand this kind of feeling?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao asked: "Zhaoyi?"

"Yeah." Li Heng hummed.

Editor-in-Chief Liao said: “Although you have achieved great success now, after all, you have only been in the industry for a short time and do not have much experience.

In fact, it is not uncommon in the cultural world for readers to fall in love with authors. There are so many examples that you can easily find them. "

Li Heng asked: "Have you ever seen someone so stubborn?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao grinned, then said seriously: "Yes, there are quite a few. I won't mention the modern ones because it would be taboo.

Take the Ming Dynasty's "Peony Pavilion" for example. There were two such women, one was Yu Erniang from Loujiang, and the other was Jin Xidian from Yangzhou. After reading "Peony Pavilion", they wrote letters to the author Tang Xianzu, expressing their love for each other and their willingness to commit themselves to each other.

This was the first time Li Heng had heard this anecdote. "What happened next?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said: "After sending the letter, he became ill due to longing for him, and died before he received Tang Xianzu's reply. Later, Tang Xianzu felt deeply sorry and funded the construction of a tomb for him."

Li Heng was speechless. There were really all kinds of people in this world.

This reminded him of the time when, after Zhang X. Rong passed away, there were reports that about 20 of his fans committed suicide for him in just one week. Most of them were so sad that they chose to jump into the river or fall off a building.

Seeing that he remained silent, Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "In fact, it is not uncommon for readers and authors to fall in love in literary circles around the world. Many of them have even become good stories."

Li Heng nodded, put the original manuscript into the drawer, and asked, "Brother, tell me about the Huang family."

Some words were easy to understand. Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "I don't know what Zhaoyi said to Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang's attitude was much gentler than I thought. He made a request: Let me try my best to help Zhaoyi."

Li Heng half-jokingly said, "How can I help you now that you've revealed your cards to me?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao spread his hands, expressing his helplessness: "When it comes to love, it's all about mutual consent. Isn't a showdown an option?

In the future, whether Zhaoyi's relationship ends in failure or you two get together, the influence of external forces is actually minimal for you two parties involved. The key is still your respective charms."

Li Heng realized that Editor-in-Chief Liao came here with guilt and wanted to explain himself to him.

After a while, he asked, "I saw on the news that Harvest magazine will be on the market tomorrow. Is everything ready?"

"I've been working all night for two nights in a row, and everything is ready. We're just waiting for your new work to come out." Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes were full of anticipation as he said this, as if he saw again the situation in which this junior brother single-handedly helped Harvest magazine overwhelm People's Literature.

Li Heng is not worried about the success and influence of White Deer Plain. With the profound accumulation of To Live and Cultural Journey, and the strong promotion of Harvest magazine, the starting point now is many times higher than that of Lao Chen in his previous life, so there is no reason to fail.

After chatting for about half an hour, Editor-in-Chief Liao left.

Not long after, Yu Shuheng walked into the study and asked him, "Have you finished writing Chapter 7?"

Li Heng replied: "There are still about 1200 words left."

Yu Shuheng instructed: "You promised to be Lao Fu's best man. We have to leave early tomorrow morning and go to put on makeup. Don't stay up late tonight."

"it is good."

Li Heng responded and asked, "Teacher, what time do we leave?"

Yu Shuheng said: "We set off at 5 o'clock, and it takes about 40 minutes to drive there, which is just in time."

"Okay." Li Heng agreed.

He knew that such a happy event should be celebrated sooner rather than later, and he would rather go there earlier and wait than hold Old Fu back.

Having said this, Li Heng sat in a chair, thinking quietly and gathering his emotions, preparing to finish writing Chapter 7 and go to bed tonight.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng did not disturb him and quietly left the study.

Chapter 7 of "White Deer Plain" mainly talks about Zilin's taxation that harmed the people and Jiaxuan's giving away money to save monks. After Li Heng sorted out his thoughts, he picked up his pen and finished the last part in one breath.

I originally planned to have about 1200 words, but after I finished writing and did a rough count, I found that it was already over 1400 words.

Putting down the pen, Li Heng took a breath, and while he was still inspired, he began to read the book from beginning to end, finding faults with a critical eye.

If you encounter an incorrect or awkward paragraph, revise it repeatedly and think about it again and again.

Even when it comes to a certain line of dialogue in the text, sometimes he would get really serious with himself and simulate the context more than 10 times, not stopping until he is satisfied with the revision.

With this spirit in mind, it took me more than four hours to revise the first round of the 14000-plus words in Chapter 4.

At this time, his wrist began to ache. Just when he was thirsty and drank a glass of water to prepare for the second revision, the study door opened and Mai Sui walked in quietly.

Li Heng looked back.

Mai Sui asked, "Did I bother you?"

Li Heng shook his head: "No, I just relaxed for a while. Is it too late? Are you here to urge me to go to bed?"

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, "Well, Teacher Yu told me to urge you to rest before 1 o'clock."

Li Heng didn't like to wear a watch when he was writing, as it would distract him. Hearing this, he took out his watch from the drawer and looked down. 12:46
It was past midnight, so it was indeed not too early.

He asked, "Are they all asleep?"

Mai Sui said: "Shi He and the others went there at around 10 o'clock, and Teacher Yu also went into the bedroom around 12 o'clock."

Li Heng glanced at the opposite side, "Teacher went back to his own home?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "No, it's at our house."

After saying "our family", Mai Sui realized what he had said, and immediately stopped smiling, turned around and walked towards the door, "Go to bed early, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"okay."

Looking at her charming swaying back, Li Heng secretly sighed that this girl is becoming more and more charming.

Honestly speaking, being in close contact with her every day was really a big test for him, who was already used to it.

Fortunately, Teacher Yu and Miss Zhou helped distract me. If I could only see wheat ears all day long, I would probably go crazy mentally or my body would rebel.

How does the saying go? If sexual desire is not released for a long time, you will have erotic fantasies whenever you meet a woman, let alone a natural beauty like Mai Sui who is full of inner charm.

After putting the pen cap on, covering the ink bottle, and tidying up the desk, Li Heng walked out of the study. When passing by the second bedroom next door, he subconsciously glanced at the door of the second bedroom, and a picture emerged in his mind, a vivid picture of changing clothes.

Grandma is a bitch!
It's only been a short time since I separated from Zijin, why is he starting to worry again? Li Heng patted his head with his right hand, feeling that being too strong was not good, it was really hard to satisfy his desires.

Lying in bed, Li Heng tossed and turned, his mind full of lustful thoughts. Finally, he had no choice but to take a cold shower before falling asleep.

The next day.

It was still dark outside when he was awakened by wheat ears.

"Li Heng, wake up, get up, we have to go to Teacher Fu's house."

When he heard Teacher Fu's house, Li Heng, who was originally drowsy, lost all sleepiness in an instant. He sat up abruptly and almost kissed Mai Sui who bent over to wake him up.

Mai Sui took a step back, stood up straight and said, "Teacher Yu and Shi He have already washed up and are waiting for you on the first floor."

"Well, what about you?" Li Heng asked.

Wheat Ear said, "I've finished washing up too."

After hearing this, Li Heng didn't say anything more. He quickly got dressed, got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

At this time, Mai Sui not only squeezed the toothpaste for him, but also prepared warm water for washing his face.

Handing him the toothbrush and mouthwash cup, Mai Sui pointed to the stool in front of the mirror and said, "Sit here and rinse your mouth. I'll help you with your hair."

"Well, Comrade Mai Sui is still the best to me." Li Heng sat down obediently, rinsing his mouth while looking through the mirror at her carefully combing his hair.

Occasionally, the two looked at each other through the mirror. She smiled and continued to work with her head down.

“Is my hair greasy?”

"Didn't you take a shower at 1:30 last night? It feels quite refreshing."

"Did you hear that?"

"Ah."

After looking at each other, they suddenly stopped talking. As they were both adults, they knew exactly why they were taking a bath.

After all, he had only taken a shower last night after dinner. After silently rinsing his mouth and washing his face, he asked, "Are you done?"

"Okay." Mai Sui took a step back, then another step back, and said so after observing for a while.

Li Heng turned around, and the two looked at each other for a while. He said, "Let's go down. Don't let them wait too long."

"Yeah." Mai Sui walked ahead calmly.

They got up early and the four of them ran to the fake Taoist priest's house.

As soon as they entered the door, Fu's family and a group of relatives and friends recognized Li Heng, Teacher Yu and Zhou Shihe. Someone shouted, "The Spring Festival Gala performers are here," and then the three of them were surrounded by people.

Lao Fu pointed at Li Heng and said to the makeup artist, "Ah Xiang, make this handsome guy a little uglier. We can't let him stand out too much today."

Makeup artist Ah Xiang looked at Li Heng, her eyes sparkling, and joked, "Your foundation is too good, so it might be a little difficult."

Lao Fu and the other party should be friends, and he spoke casually: "I don't care, this kid is already eye-catching enough. If he dresses up better, I..."

At this point, Lao Fu tilted his head and stared blankly, "It seems that I can't swear today."

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Can I go to the back?"

"Okay, it's settled. Try not to stand next to me." Old Fu patted his shoulder with a smile, then greeted Yu Shuheng and the other two girls.

She was said to be ugly in her attire, but she looked more refreshing after putting on makeup. Old Fu's eyes widened and he said to Li Heng, "I say, boy, you look so good, are you doing it on purpose? Has Xiao Han come to Shanghai? Otherwise, why don't you get married today?"

Li Heng said: "How can we get married if Xiao Han is not here? Come on, just say a few words. I didn't hear you mention Teacher Yu."

After saying that, he turned around and asked, "Hey, where's Teacher Yu?"

Lao Fu reached out and patted him on the back: "You are confused, aren't you? Teacher Yu is the bridesmaid today. After seeing you off, she went to Siya's place."

Li Heng suddenly realized and asked, "Is Sister Chen's home far from here?"

“It’s not too far, it only takes 20 minutes to drive there.”

As Lao Fu said this, he handed him the best man's clothes and asked him to change into them.

Including Li Heng, there are a total of four groomsmen today. They are all older and two of them are teachers at Fudan University.

The last best man is Lao Fu’s classmate who studied in the United States. He is said to be a DINK and currently works in an American investment bank.

After 7 o'clock in the morning, Li Heng, as the man's family member, set off with the convoy and crossed half of Huangpu to arrive at Chen Siya's home.

The activities of drinking wine, stuffing red envelopes, knocking on the door, and asking the bridesmaid to let the person go were carried out one by one according to the procedure.

When drinking the passing wine, Lao Fu was not polite at all. He treated the four groomsmen like oxen and horses and pushed them through with his huge amount of wine.

Li Heng didn't know how much wine he drank. Anyway, half of the glass of wine was on the ground, the other half was on his clothes, and only a little bit fell into his mouth.

But he couldn't hold back on drinking so much that in the end he still felt a little bloated.

Seeing that the other three groomsmen were having a great time, Li Heng couldn't fall behind. He was definitely good at livening up the atmosphere. He banged doors when necessary and drank when necessary, creating a festive atmosphere.

After some commotion, the bridesmaids could not resist the last difficult question: asking Lao Fu to recite the names of 38 emperors of ancient China in one breath.

The reason why there are 38 is because Lao Fu is 38 years old this year.

This is really going to kill me. The best men and Mr. Fu are all academics. So many years have passed, and they only know about the Qin Emperor, Han Wudi, Tang Gaozu, Song Taizu, Genghis Khan, and several emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties.

After much calculation and racking of brains, we could only come up with 17 emperors, which is still far from 38.

Lao Fu muttered: "Who asked this question? It's far from the truth."

Then Lao Fu pointed at Li Heng and said, "We old guys have forgotten everything. We are relying on you, kid."

Li Heng rubbed his head to sober himself up, then said, "I don't know the distant past either. Let's start from the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. I'll read one quietly and you read one loudly."

Hearing him say this, Lao Fu suddenly gained confidence.

Li Heng reads: "Taijia, Xiaojia, Wojia, Yangjia, Zujia."

The best man was dumbfounded, and Lao Fu grinned and said, "Is this true? Don't lie, kid."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows. "There were 31 emperors in the Shang Dynasty. I only remember a few who wore armor. What? Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, do it yourself."

Old Fu was half-believing and half-doubting, so he tried his best and shouted towards the door. Hey! It turned out to be true, and the people outside who were waiting for the bride became excited.

Li Heng then read: "King Cheng, King Kang, King Zhao, King Mu, King Gong, King Xiao, King Li, King You, all of them are from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

This time, Lao Fu didn't dare to question it anymore and excitedly reported it loudly.

With Li Heng as a cheat, the questions that originally stumped the groom finally collapsed. Amid everyone's cheers, he finally entered the Chen family.

The Chen family's house was not big, and a large group of people rushed in like a wave, and soon there was no place to stand. Li Heng finally took a breath, but when he turned around, he found Yu Shuheng standing behind him, "Teacher."

"Yes, you look more eye-catching than the groom in this suit." Yu Shuheng said meaningfully.

Li Heng blinked and said, "Teacher, please keep your voice down. Mr. Fu is very dissatisfied with me today."

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, her eyes wandered over him twice, and whispered in his ear, "Come on, let's take two photos."

"what?"

Li Heng exclaimed: "Everyone is joining in the fun, it would be a shame if we just left."

Yu Shuheng said: "It's right next door."

Well, Li Heng didn't offend her and walked through the crowd into the next room.

"Siqing, take a few photos of us." After entering the door, Yu Shuheng said to a young woman who looked a bit like Chen Siya.

"Okay, Sister Shuheng."

Chen Siqing is Chen Siya's younger sister. She opened a wedding photography shop with a storefront area of ​​over 200 square meters in Shanghai. Her shop took care of her sister's wedding dress and all the wedding photography.

Of course, the 24-year-old Chen Siqing did not have such strong financial resources. Like Chen Siya’s piano training institution, Yu Shuheng also held shares.

From this we can see that the two sisters have a very good relationship with Yu Shuheng.

After Chen Siqing saw Li Heng's appearance, he asked, "Hey, is he the Li Heng who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala?"

Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded: "It's him."

After saying "It's him", Yu Shuheng closed the door, then naturally took Li Heng's arm and faced the camera lens.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at her right hand that was hooked around his arm. He said nothing, nor did he pull his hand away. He pretended to be unaware and looked at the camera.

Yu Shuheng whispered in his ear: "Do the teacher a favor and send it to Ye Qing."

Ye Qing's appearance flashed through his mind, and Li Heng nodded.

Chen Siqing, who was behind the camera opposite, was shocked when she saw this scene. But she later concealed her expression well, rolled her eyes and said:
"Li Heng, you are standing too far away. Move closer to the teacher."

Li Heng: “.”

Don't try that on me. He stood to the left, and their shoulders were almost touching.

After taking three photos in a row, Yu Shuheng finally let go of his arm and said calmly, "I'll give you a copy of the photo later?"

Li Heng waved his hand quickly: "No need, teacher, please send it to Sister Ye."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly and took him out of the room.

Chen Siqing stared blankly at the two people walking away. After a long time, he found the bride, Chen Siya, and said, "Sister Shuheng is in love?"

"No, who told you that?" Chen Siya was putting on makeup after having a fight with Fu Yanjie.

Chen Siqing talked about what happened during the photo shoot, staring at his sister.

After listening, Chen Siya didn't react much and said, "Forget what you saw today."

"No." Chen Siqing wanted to say something but was interrupted by his sister.

Chen Siya said: "The two were in a teacher-student relationship, and Li Heng had someone else."

Chen Siqing's mouth is wide enough to fit a goose egg.

Chen Siya thought for a while and added, "Aunt Shen Xin seems to have taken a fancy to Li Heng and wants to make him her son-in-law. But as for Shu Heng, I still haven't figured out what she's thinking."

"Ah?" Chen Siqing was even more surprised. "What ability did Li Heng have to attract Aunt Shen's attention?"

"He is very capable, otherwise how could he be your brother-in-law's best man as a freshman? Use your brain and think about it carefully." Chen Siya said.

"They've sung their own songs on the Spring Festival Gala, isn't that impressive?" Chen Siqing asked.

Chen Siya did not argue with her sister and said, "You will know later. Remember one thing about today. As long as Shuheng has not left Fudan University, don't mention it for a single day."

Seeing his sister speak so seriously, Chen Siqing knew what to do: "I understand."

After a while, Chen Siya and Yu Shuheng bumped into each other, and the former tried to test him: "Just quit your job. With your status, what's the point of being a university teacher?"

Yu Shuheng glanced at her, looked at Li Heng who was chatting and laughing with Lao Fu and others not far away, and said: "Siqing's mouth is so big?"

"I have sewed her up," said Chen Siya.

Yu Shuheng laughed: "Why sew it up? I'll go have a drink with her later."

Chen Siya said: "Then I will help you untie her needle and thread."

After a while, Chen Siya lowered her voice and asked, "Aunt Shen, do you still think the same way?"

Yu Shuheng said expressionlessly: "Not only did I have that thought, but after the Chinese New Year, even my dad didn't object."

This was something Chen Siya had never expected. It took her a long time to digest this shocking news. "What about you?"

Yu Shuheng said: "I don't like it."

"Oh." Chen Siya tilted her head and stared at her best friend's profile, saying "Oh".

At this point, the two paused their conversation and followed Li Heng's movements with their eyes, watching Li Heng interact with Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe, and watching Li Heng happily taking photos with the two girls.

A few minutes later, Chen Siya suddenly said, "Perhaps it was a mistake for you to recommend Zhou Shihe to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. She is too perfect. Her fragile and pitiful temperament is most likely to arouse men's desire to protect her and capture men's hearts."

Yu Shuheng ignored this and said nothing.

Chen Siya continued, "Lao Fu and I watched the Spring Festival Gala program three times. Li Heng and Zhou Shihe looked at each other tacitly five times during the performance. How can I describe that feeling? I can't explain it at the moment. Do you have time?"

"Siya, come here."

Before Chen Siya finished speaking, her father called her from the other side. She said, "I'm going over there first. I'll talk to you later."

Yu Shuheng nodded, watched her best friend leave, and then her eyes fell on Li Heng, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe again.
