Chapter 501: Strange Things in the Study Room (Subscribe!)

Leaving the Pentagon Square, Zhao Yan was a little unhappy: "We were chatting happily just now, why did you leave so suddenly? Are you really worried about Wei Xiaozhu?"

Li Guoyi asked back: "You don't believe me?"

Zhao Yan said, "I once asked you who is the most beautiful person in Fudan. Why did you blurt out Wei Xiaozhu? Why didn't you say Zhou Shihe? I think it was your instinctive reaction. You admired Wei Xiaozhu in your heart."

Li Guoyi tilted his head nonchalantly: "What? You mean Zhou Shihe? She is a fairy in heaven, how can we mortals covet her?
You know the handsome Hu from our dormitory, right? He's so handsome, but he was so nervous in front of Zhou Shihe that he didn't even dare to fart. When we talk about beauties, we have automatically excluded her. There's no comparison!"

Zhao Yan asked: "You really don't have a crush on Wei Xiaozhu? Swear."

Li Guoyi raised his hand and swore to the sky: "God, if I have any second thoughts about you, I will die a miserable death."

Zhao Yan asked: "Then explain again, why did you drag me away as soon as Wei Xiaozhu showed up?"

Li Guoyi spat on the ground, "Leave? If you don't leave, your eyes will fall on Lao Li. You are my woman, why are you staring at him?"

Seeing her boyfriend was jealous, Zhao Yan believed it a little and deliberately said, "Li Heng is more handsome than you, more talented than you, has a good temperament, and is taller than you. Any girl would not be able to help but take a few more glances at him. He is equivalent to Zhou Shihe in your school. Other boys can't compare to him."

Li Guoyi was not angry. He smirked and put his hand on his girlfriend's shoulder, "Stop praising my buddy. I'll be jealous if you continue to praise me.

Let's go! Let's find an empty classroom. We haven't seen each other for half a month. Let's see if you have changed."

....
the other side.

The rain was getting heavier, and Li Heng hurried to Lushan Village with an umbrella.

As soon as I reached the end of the alley, I met Zhou Shihe and Ye Ning, each holding an umbrella, coming out of Building No. 27.

Ye Ning circled around him and couldn't help muttering: "Eh? Why are you a grown man holding a red umbrella?"

Zhou Shihe's attention was also focused on the umbrella, and then a figure emerged in her mind, but she didn't point it out and just stood aside quietly.

Li Heng glanced at Miss Zhou and instantly realized that she had recognized him. That's right, Zhou Shihe and Wei Xiaozhu were together every day during the summer vacation, how could they not be familiar with each other?
He said frankly, "It was raining on the way, and I happened to meet Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing, and they gave me an umbrella. By the way, where are you going?"

"Oh, it turns out to be Wei Xiaozhu's. No wonder it looks so familiar!"

Ye Ning said "oh" and pointed at Building 26, "Let's go to your house! Your number one wife hasn't come to your house for a long time, Shi He and I will go to check on her."

Li Heng was speechless, ignoring Ye Ning's teasing, and then he set his sights on Zhou Shihe: "Comrade Shihe, are you busy tomorrow, the weekend?"

Zhou Shihe walked forward and replied gently, "I'm not busy. Are you busy?"

The relationship was too familiar, so Li Heng skipped the beat and asked directly: "I have guests coming to my place tomorrow, can you cook a meal for me?"

Ye Ning interrupted: "Great writer, aren't you a good cook yourself? Why do you want to cook for Cheng Shihe? Our Shihe is very delicate and doesn't cook for ordinary people."

Li Heng explained: "Customers don't like spicy food. I can't make dishes with soul without chili."

Seeing him looking at her expectantly, Zhou Shihe used her right hand to pull down her drooping hair: "What do you want?"

Li Heng said happily: "Do you agree?"

Zhou Shihe smiled, as a sign of agreement.

Li Heng gestured with his fingers: "Editor-in-Chief Liao told me that the guests particularly like to eat soft-shelled turtle. Can you cook it? As for the other dishes, please feel free to pick the ones you are good at."

Zhou Shihe casually said: "Black pepper turtle, braised turtle, yam turtle, which one do you think is more suitable?"

Li Heng thought about the names of the three dishes and finally said, "Let's have the braised soft-shelled turtle."

Zhou Shihe simply responded: "Okay."

When they entered the second floor of Building 26, the three of them immediately saw Mai Sui standing on a stool wiping the glass windows with half of her body leaning outside.

Li Heng quickly threw his umbrella aside, ran over and shouted, "It's too dangerous for you to do this, let me do it."

Mai Sui gave him a tender smile: "You're back."

"Ah."

Li Heng hummed, then subconsciously reached out and lifted her off the stool, "You're sweating, I'll wipe the rest, you take a rest."

The two people's actions were too ambiguous, and Mai Sui's face flushed quietly, making her as charming as a shy rose.

"Wow! So romantic! I also want a love like yours." Ye Ning didn't mind the big deal and clapped his hands in approval.

Zhou Shihe smiled faintly, then walked past Ye Ning and sat down on the sofa gracefully. She picked up a book from the coffee table and began to flip through it slowly.

But as she was flipping through the pages, she accidentally raised her head and glanced at Mai Sui's belly.

Coincidentally, Mai Sui also looked at her at this moment, and the two women looked at each other, and then they looked away.

Zhou Shihe lowered his head and continued reading.

Mai Sui wrung the rag awkwardly and handed it to Li Heng, and they wiped the glass windows together.

Ye Ning was not idle. He took the mop and helped clean up the water on the floor.

Seeing that the three were busy, Zhou Shihe felt a little embarrassed, so she stood up and looked around, but found that the house was almost cleaned and she didn't need to do anything. So she sat back down.

Ten minutes later, the cleaning was almost finished. Mai Sui found some clean clothes and went to the shower room.

Ye Ning put his hands on his waist and groaned: "Ouch! It's too hot today. I'm sweating when I move. I can't do it anymore! I have to go back and take a shower."

With that said, the girl hurried over to the small building No. 27 next door.

After his friend left, Zhou Shihe also planned to leave, not wanting to be an eyesore here, and to make room for the two of them.

She had just stood up when a voice came from the study: "Comrade Shihe, come and help me lift the table down."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe didn't think much about it and turned around and went to the study.

Seeing her come in, Li Heng said with a smile: "Look, there are books on the table and in the drawers. They are quite heavy. I am too lazy to clean them one by one. Can you help me carry them down?

There's probably a lot of dust under the table. It's been a while since I've swept it, so today is a good time to clean it up."

Zhou Shihe smiled, walked to the other end of the table, grabbed the corner of the table with both hands, and moved together. Sure enough, not only was there a layer of dust under the desk, but there were even cobwebs in the corners against the wall.

Seeing him cleaning seriously with a rag, Zhou Shihe thought for a moment and asked, "Is your distinguished guest coming to the study tomorrow?"

"Correct."

Li Heng said yes, and then asked: "Have you read Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels?"

Zhou Shihe spoke softly, "Are you talking about the one from Hong Kong? Jin Yong, who is known as the first of the four great talents in Hong Kong?"

Li Heng nodded: "It's him."

Zhou Shihe was a little curious: "Why did he come to your place?"

Li Heng explained: "He read my novel White Deer Plain, and he wrote to me again and again, saying he wanted to visit me. To be honest..."

At this point, he smiled to himself and said: "To be honest, the word "visit" is a bit hot for me, after all, he is so much older than me.

But he was very sincere and even asked someone to find Editor-in-Chief Liao. He also often praised me publicly in front of the media. I felt embarrassed and accepted it. "

Seeing his insincere expression of enjoyment, Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, and then spontaneously helped him tidy up the study, sorting the messy books into categories and wiping the books that had been left untouched for a long time with a dry towel.

There are more than 1400 books in the study, all of which he bought one after another. Some were bought by editor-in-chief Liao and editor Zou Ping, and some were bought by him personally. After all, human energy is limited, and some books are not read again after a short period of time, so they are inevitably covered with dust.

Mai Sui usually liked to keep the house clean, but seldom set foot in his study. Firstly, he was afraid of disrupting his reading and writing rhythm; secondly, he was afraid of touching on his privacy.

The study was stuffy and hot. Even though all the windows were open, it was still as hot as a furnace.

After being busy for a while, Zhou Shihe felt a fine layer of sweat on her body. She looked out the window and thought that it would be better if the rain got heavier so that it could take away the dry heat in the air and make it cooler.

Just as she was gathering her thoughts and continuing to help tidy up the study, she inadvertently noticed someone's small movements out of the corner of her eye.

Zhou Shihe was born extremely beautiful, and her pitiful and fragile appearance could easily touch the soft spot in a man's heart, stimulating his overflowing desire to protect her.

At this moment, her thin white top was unconsciously wetted by sweat and stuck to her skin. Her graceful figure was faintly visible through the gauze. In the dim light, her waist was as slender as a willow, which was truly the ultimate beauty in the world.

Li Heng was completely attracted to her at first sight.

Feeling that he was secretly glancing at her, feeling that his eyes were quietly wandering back and forth on her body, feeling that his eyes finally fixed on her heart, Zhou Shihe blushed slightly, and a rare sense of inexplicable meaning flashed through her heart.

But her face was as calm as water. If her clever little mouth had not been pouted for some reason, no one would have noticed that something was wrong with her.

After a while, seeing that he didn't look away, Zhou Shihe's pretty little mouth pouted again, and then pouted even tighter. Later, she quietly moved her steps and walked from the south bookshelf to the north bookshelf.

As it turned out, his gaze followed her and remained on her, so she did not misunderstand.

Li Heng took a look, lowered his head to do something, and after a while couldn't help but take another look, did something again, and then couldn't help but take another look...

When he stole another peek...he suddenly saw Zhou Shihe turned around and stared at his eyes motionlessly.

At this moment, her heart beat uncontrollably several times, but her eyes were particularly fierce, staring straight at Li Heng without any avoidance or reservation.

Their eyes suddenly collided across space, time stood still, the air gradually became solidified, and the atmosphere in the study room slowly became subtle. One of them squatted on the ground and looked up, and the other stood in front of the bookshelf and looked down. Their eyes intertwined, and no one made a sound. It was very weird for a moment!
After a long time, Li Heng, who couldn't bear it anymore, surrendered, lowered his head, and pretended nothing had happened as he cleaned the corner of the room with a rag.

Afraid that he would not be able to help looking at her again later, he simply turned his back to her to give her reassurance.

The clever Zhou Shihe seemed to understand his thoughts. His eyes lingered on his back for a long time. Finally, he looked away and concentrated on wiping the ashes off the books one by one.

Just like that, the two of them didn't communicate for a long time, and tried not to look at each other. They were busy with their own things, and their relationship was a bit complicated, like enemies, but also like old friends who had been together for many years. They didn't say anything, but they knew each other was there.

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed. When the sound of the shower door opening was heard from the living room, some mysterious node was interrupted, and the barrier of the study seemed to be opened by external force. Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Mai Sui appeared at the door. She glanced at her bestie, then at Li Heng who was mopping the floor, and said softly, "The study room is afraid of moisture, so I didn't open the window before. It's so hot inside. Shihe, your clothes are all wet. Come out and take a rest. I'll bring in a fan."

"Okay." Zhou Shihe responded softly, put the dry towel aside, and followed her out of the study.

Move the fan?
Damn it, I was an idiot today. My brain was so short-circuited that I even forgot to turn on the fan. I deserved to suffocate to death!
He moved a fan into the study, plugged it in, and turned it to the highest setting. Mai Sui was ready to take Zhou Shihe's hand and help wipe the books.

Seeing this, Li Heng stopped him, "You just took a shower, don't sweat again, let me do it, you go and rest for a while, there's not much work to do anyway."

Mai Sui didn't listen.

But Li Heng didn't give in. He walked over, put his hands on her shoulders, and pushed her out of the door.

Mai Sui smiled tenderly and said helplessly, "It's almost 4 o'clock, so Shi He and I will go buy some groceries. What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Li Heng glanced at Miss Zhou who was washing her hands in the bathroom and said, "As long as there's meat, it's fine. I'm not picky. The rain outside is getting heavier. Remember to bring an umbrella with a thicker rain cover."

"Uh-huh."

Mai Sui hummed twice, turned to Zhou Shihe and said, "I'll go home with you to take a shower, and then we'll go buy groceries."

Zhou Shihe nodded quietly and walked towards the corridor entrance first.

The two women went downstairs one after the other, left the courtyard, and walked towards the small building next door.

Along the way, they didn't talk to each other, as if they were maintaining some kind of balance.

When they entered Building 27, they found a piece of paper on the coffee table on the first floor. There were words on it in Ye Ning's handwriting.

The note read: Manning and I went to the Pentagon to shop at the department store. Haha! So-and-so's husband is back today. I will definitely cook for him at home. Please prepare food for both of us. I'll eat tofu and Manning wants fish. You can choose any other dish. That's it. See you at dinner!

After reading the note, Zhou Shihe showed a smile on her face, as bright as spring breeze. Then she stuffed the note into her best friend's hand and went upstairs to take a shower.

When footsteps came up the stairs, Mai Sui blushed, then smiled shyly. After she finished laughing, she subconsciously looked up at the stairs, and saw a beautiful face with white skin.

Looking at each other, Mai Sui felt his face burning and he felt so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Seeing her best friend being so shy and looking like she was caught doing something bad, Zhou Shihe tried to hold back, but couldn't help but chuckled and turned to go upstairs.

This time she really went up.
