1987 My Era

Chapter 546: You take three steps back, I take three steps forward

"Old Li, can I ask you a question?" Zhang Bing asked.

Li Heng put down the beer bottle: "You say."

Zhang Bing lowered his head and asked hesitantly after a while: "Do you look down on me?"

Li Heng asked: "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Bing said with a sad face: "I have children and a wife at home. My wife has to take care of the elderly and the young in the mountains. Life is so hard, it's not easy. The two children are healthy and lively. But I fell in love with another woman here. I feel that I have lost all conscience and am a bad person."

Li Heng asked knowingly: "Bai Wanying?"

Zhang Bing said in a muffled voice: "I can't hide it from you now. It's her."

Li Heng asked: "Did you fall in love with her at first sight, or did you fall in love with her over time?"

Zhang Bing recalled carefully for a long time and shook his head: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. Although I am old, I am a little confused about love and don't understand it very well. I just know that I am deeply attracted to a certain characteristic of her. When Li Guang took out the letter today, I was happy for her, but I also felt a little uncomfortable in my heart."

At this point, Zhang Bing took another sip of bitter wine and said in a low voice: "Do you think I have lost my conscience and am I the second Chen Shimei?"

Li Heng consoled her, "A gentleman dreams of marrying a beautiful lady. If Bai Wanying wasn't in a wheelchair, her beauty would be close to Liu Yue's, and she would be ranked second in the class. She is also smart and capable, better than many men. It's understandable that you've been attracted to her for a long time."

They say that we judge people by their deeds rather than their hearts, and no one is perfect if we judge their hearts. Have you ever thought about marrying classmate Bai Wanying?"

Zhang Bing's head was like a rattle, and he denied it hastily: "No, I dare not. My wife supports the family, so I can study here with peace of mind. Every time I go home, I have never heard her complain. Every time she encourages me to study hard and not worry about the family.

Although she has little education, she is more reasonable than a scholar like me. If I abandon her, I, I, I will die a miserable death. "

By the end of the conversation, Zhang Bing, who was not good at speaking, had his neck turned red.

Li Heng asked: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Bing sighed for a long time before he said dejectedly, "Wanying has been a great help to me. I have actually been saving money for her medical treatment. Every time I earn, I put 60% in the bank to save for surgery, and send 40% home. I dare not spend money recklessly. Once I ate out in a restaurant, and I felt painful for two months afterwards."

Li Heng asked: "Does Bai Wanying know about your situation?"

Zhang Bing said hesitantly: "She, she should know everything in her heart, but she is just pretending not to know."

Li Heng asked a core question: "Does she have feelings for you?"

Zhang Bing scratched the back of his head and said to the table, "I'm stupid and can't figure her out."

Li Heng asked: "Then what are you worried about? Are you worried that she will marry Li Guang in the future?"

Zhang Bing nodded and shook his head, then spoke hesitantly: "Li Guang is a good person, sincere and kind. If Wanying could follow him, her life would not be bad. I'm just worried that Wanying might not be willing."

Li Heng understood, "Are you afraid that she will consider your feelings and refuse this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

Zhang Bing murmured, "That's it. I'm very scared now. I'm afraid I'll become a sinner."

Li Heng pondered and asked, "Do you want me to act as a middleman and help you persuade her?"

Zhang Bing nodded heavily and said, "She usually likes to comment on people behind their backs, but she has great respect for you and thinks very highly of Xiaozhu. Your words may be more effective than mine."

Li Heng asked: "Did you also look for Xiaozhu?"

Zhang Bing said, "Not yet. I was planning to take a shower and go to Lushan Village to invite you first."

Li Heng pondered for a while, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Women are sometimes more empathetic. Let's go find Wei Xiaozhu now, and then talk to Bai Wanying later."

Zhang Bing looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Leaving now?"

Li Heng stood up and joked: "If you don't leave now, can you still sleep tonight?"

Zhang Bing smiled awkwardly and stood up.

Zhang Bing rushed to pay for the meal. Li Heng did not stop him and left the restaurant. The two hurried to the girls' dormitory No. 12, only to be told that Wei Xiaozhu was not there.

Finally, the two of them rushed to Yanyuan without stopping, and this time they did not fail and met the person.

Wei Xiaozhu was hanging clothes on the corridor. Seeing the two people rushing over, she turned around and asked, "Why are you looking for me so late? Is there something wrong?"

Afraid that Zhang Bing might be shy, Li Heng said first: "Hey, it's nothing serious, I just want to ask you for a favor."

Wei Xiaozhu hung up the clothes in her hands and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Li Heng briefly explained his purpose and then looked at her.

Wei Xiaozhu listened patiently, his eyes stayed on Zhang Bing for a while, and then he readily agreed.

After a lot of trouble, the three finally saw Bai Wanying at the gate of the No. 9 female dormitory building. Chen Guifen pushed her down.

Because of Hu Ping, Chen Guifen didn't want to see Wei Xiaozhu. She was a little jealous and envious of Wei Xiaozhu, and at the same time she felt a little resentful, and more of a sense of inferiority. She turned her back to Wei Xiaozhu and asked Zhang Bing, "Do you want me to wait by your side?"

Zhang Bing looked at Li Heng.

Li Heng said, "Gui Fen, please go back to the dormitory. If you can't get in later, I will take Wan Ying to Lushan Village to spend the night. Mai Sui and the others are all there and can take good care of her."

Chen Guifen returned to the dormitory.

The three of them pushed Bai Wanying out of the girls' dormitory building and finally stopped at Xiyuan.

As soon as he stopped, Zhang Bing hid away in fear, hiding far away on the grass, rolling up his white paper cigarettes dully, one after another. The sparks were very eye-catching in the dark night, and they never went out.

Bai Wanying was a smart person. Seeing this scene, she seemed to have guessed everything. She looked up and asked Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu, "Are you the lobbyists hired by Zhang Bing? Are you here for Li Guang's matter?"

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other and said yes honestly.

Unexpectedly, the next second Bai Wanying shouted to Zhang Bing: "Come here!"

Zhang Bing came over trembling, bent over, and looked nervous.

Bai Wanying's expression was not serious. Instead, she asked with a smile, "Are you going to send me out?"

Hearing this, Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu felt that the smile on Bai Wanying's face was not warm at all, but rather cold.

Zhang Bing waved his hands in panic, "I, I..."

Bai Wanying interrupted: "Who are you to me? Can you decide for me to marry?"

Zhang Bing immediately stopped attacking, his head almost falling to the ground.

Seeing him like this, Bai Wanying couldn't bear it, and said in a better tone: "You go, go back to the dormitory and have a good rest. You still have classes tomorrow and you have to go to the stall, so cheer up."

Zhang Bing turned around and walked away, but after a few steps he turned back.

Seeing this, Bai Wanying asked from a distance: "How dare you abandon your wife and children to marry me?"

Zhang Bing trembled all over, lowered his head even more, and dared not make a sound.

Bai Wanying continued, "If you dare to abandon your family and children for me, and abandon me for another woman when you become rich in the future, I dare not marry you."

Zhang Bing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, then his breath weakened a little. After a moment of stalemate, he walked away without looking back.

As the footsteps faded away in the night, there were only three people left in Xiyuan.

Wei Xiaozhu looked at Bai Wanying in surprise, and after a while she said, "This is the first time I've seen you be so fierce."

Bai Wanying smiled and said, "Everyone has two sides. You acted like a lady in front of Li Heng, but you turned around and slapped Liu Quan."

Li Heng stretched lazily: "If women want to bicker, just bicker properly, don't drag me into it."

Wei Xiaozhu didn't care and smiled, "I treat most people like this. Li Heng doesn't get any special treatment from me."

Bai Wanying's eyes wandered between the two of them for a few times, and she asked curiously, "Tell me, how do you two want to persuade me?"

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu were both amused by this sentence.

He opened the conversation: "Lao Zhang actually cares about you a lot."

Bai Wanying said: "I know that he not only cares about me, but also falls in love with me."

These words were too blunt, and the two people who were trying to persuade him were stunned.

Li Heng gently elbowed Wei Xiaozhu with his left hand.

Wei Xiaozhu understood and asked, "Do you like Zhang Bing?"

Hearing this question, Bai Wanying, who was so brave just now, fell silent. After a long while, she said, "My feelings towards Zhang Bing are very complicated. Since I became disabled, I no longer desire sex. The reason why I help him with his plans and go to the stall with him every day is because he is honest and kind. I also have a place to relieve my loneliness without having to worry about rumors."

People with disabilities are indeed unable to engage in social activities like normal people, and only they themselves know the loneliness in their hearts.

Li Heng asked: "So, your friendship with Lao Zhang is more important than love?"

Bai Wanying said nothing.

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "What about you and Li Guang?"

Bai Wanying thought for a while and said, "If I were a normal person, Li Guang wouldn't be my type, but I don't reject him."

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu heard the hidden meaning: If Bai Wanying was a normal person, she would not fall for Li Guang.

If she were a normal person, she would indeed have the capital and confidence to do so.

At this point, the three of them were speechless.

Because she has made it very clear that she is not emotionally dependent on Li Guang. This makes it difficult to persuade her.

Bai Wanying was afraid that the two would be embarrassed, so she sighed and expressed her concerns: "In fact, reality is very cruel. How can I be picky? Even if I really marry Li Guang, I will accept it.

But what I am most worried about is not the relationship problem. I am most afraid that the operation will not be successful, and a large amount of money will be wasted, and I will not be able to marry Li Guang at that time. I can almost imagine Li Guang’s desperate expression. "

Wei Xiaozhu comforted him by saying, "Li Guang's parents believe in Buddhism, and in their letters..."

Bai Wanying interrupted and asked, "Xiaozhu, if you were me and Li Heng cured your illness, would you marry him?"

Wei Xiaozhu was speechless.

Bai Wanying said: "There is no love without reason in the world. Any charity has a price tag. I am very clear about this. Li Guang's parents said that just because they didn't want me to feel pressured, but they didn't know that I was under greater pressure.

If they had clearly stated to me that I would marry Li Guang once my disease was cured, I might not have hesitated. Because I really wanted to be free to walk.”

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "So are you going to reject Li Guang?"

Bai Wanying reached out to pick a dry branch from the path beside her, broke it into several pieces and said, "If I agree to Li Guang, there will be no one to take care of Zhang Bing in the future."

Li Heng and Wei Xiaozhu looked at each other, seeming to understand, yet even more confused.

But they can confirm one thing, Bai Wanying was very resistant to the letter from Li Guang's parents.

Wei Xiaozhu asked with his eyes: Do you still want to persuade me?
Li Heng responded with his eyes: Their attitude is already very clear, how can you persuade them?
At this time, Bai Wanying's laughter came: "Is this the legendary eye contact?"

Li Heng turned his head and said on impulse: "You said that the earlier you get treatment, the greater the chance of success. How about I lend you money for treatment? Anyway, I have many female confidants, so you don't have to worry about me blackmailing you morally."

Bai Wanying propped her chin with her right hand and said, "Master Li, are you serious?"

Li Heng nodded: "Of course, I never say empty words."

Hearing this, Bai Wanying asked, "What do you want me to pay?"

Li Heng said: "I have everything I need, no additional conditions."

Bai Wanying turned to Wei Xiaozhu and said self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that I'm not as pretty as Xiaozhu, otherwise I would have accepted your sponsorship immediately. When I get better, I'll be your secretary. I'll help you with your work and be your woman when you're lonely."

"Hey, hey! You're looking at me. You're getting more and more ridiculous." Li Heng rolled his eyes several times.
Bai Wanying ignored her and just smiled at Wei Xiaozhu.

Wei Xiaozhu looked away, walked around behind her, and pushed the wheelchair forward: "It's raining."

It really started to rain, not heavily, but getting heavier. Li Heng glanced at his watch and said, "The dormitory has been closed for a long time. Let's go back to Lushan Village. Xiaozhu, you can come with us."

Wei Xiaozhu asked as they walked: "Is Xiaohan gone?"

Li Heng: "Let's go, she has classes tomorrow."

As they rushed to Lushan Village, Bai Wanying, who was in a wheelchair, looked up and said, "Li Heng, can I ask you a question?"

"It's better not to ask. Lao Zhang asked me a question before, but you ended up scolding me back. I guess he's hiding in his bed feeling sad now." Li Heng said.

Bai Wanying still asked, "Why do I feel that Teacher Yu likes you?"

Wei Xiaozhu paused and looked at Li Heng in disbelief.

Bai Wanying stared at Wei Xiaozhu without blinking and asked jokingly, "Xiaozhu, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Wei Xiaozhu continued to push the wheelchair: "This is so unexpected. How did you know that?"

Bai Wanying said: "I'm not guessing. I once happened to see Teacher Yu helping Li Heng adjust his clothes on his chest."

Li Heng asked: "Where?"

Bai Wanying said, "I went to the Beijing airport for a physical checkup and accidentally saw it. Don't worry, I never told anyone."

Then she added: "Of course, our Xiaozhu is not an outsider."

Li Heng defended himself: "Oh, I remember now, that time I spilled some coffee on my clothes, and the teacher helped me wipe it off."

Bai Wanying showed a playful look, but did not expose it. She cooperated and said, "It seems so. But Teacher Yu is too good to you. She takes care of you in everything. On the day your identity as a writer was exposed, she was also busy welcoming you and seeing you off."

Li Heng said: "I have no experience in this matter, and I am really grateful to Teacher Yu."

Listening to the two of them talking back and forth, Wei Xiaozhu didn't say anything in the second half. His mind was buzzing with Bai Wanying's words, "Teacher Yu likes you?"
After returning to Lushan Village, Wei Xiaozhu subconsciously looked towards Building No. 25. The lights were off and Teacher Yu was not there.

Li Heng took out the key, opened the door, walked into the room and said to the two girls, "You guys take a break, I'll go next door."

The two girls seemed to know what he was doing next door and kept silent.

It was not until he left that Bai Wanying put away her previous cynicism and asked carefully: "Xiaozhu, if you were me, would you accept Li Guang?"

Wei Xiaozhu thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Emotionally, I can't give in."

Bai Wanying said self-deprecatingly: "If I were healthy, we would be the same kind of people."

Wei Xiaozhu said: "Since you don't accept Li Guang, I think you can consider Li Heng. He is worth billions and doesn't care about your surgery fee."

Bai Wanying was very tempted, but she closed her eyes and said, "I will make money with Zhang Bing for a few years first. If I still don't have enough money for the surgery after graduation, I will shamelessly try to find him. When I am well again, I will work hard for him for the rest of my life."

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Still waiting until graduation? Wouldn't that delay the treatment?"

Bai Wanying was unmoved: "That's fate."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaozhu stopped talking about it because she had a vague understanding of everything and it was not just a matter of money.

...

Building No. 27.

Li Heng knocked on the door in the rain and found that it was Zhou Shihe who opened the door.

He asked, "Why is it you?"

The two looked at each other through the door, and Zhou Shihe pouted her clever little mouth, "Then who do you hope it is? If it's Mai Sui, she's taking a bath."

Li Heng's mouth twitched. "You seem quite displeased with me today. Have I offended King Zhou in any way?"

Zhou Shihe smiled gently, stepped aside and motioned for him to come in.

While changing his shoes, Li Heng asked, "Are you two the only ones at home?"

Zhou Shihe hummed.

When walking to the second floor, Li Heng asked, "How is Mai Sui feeling?"

Zhou Shihe, who was standing behind him, looked at his back and asked, "Why don't you ask her yourself?"

Li Heng suddenly stopped and half turned to look at her.

He stopped so quickly that Zhou Shihe almost bumped into him.

She stepped back calmly and looked up at him demurely.

For a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one spoke, and an indescribable atmosphere arose between the two of us.

Suddenly, Li Heng took a step down the stairs as if possessed by a ghost.

She passively took a step back subconsciously.

After two seconds of stalemate, Li Heng took another step back.

Zhou Shihe was so scared that he took a step back.

When he was about to take the third step, Zhou Shihe said in a barely audible voice: "I'm calling Mai Sui."

Hearing this, Li Heng really retracted his right foot that was in the air, stopped by the railing, and stared at her intently.

They stared at each other in silence for a while, and at a certain moment, Zhou Shihe turned his head away without leaving a trace, looking away, leaving only the side of his face to him. Time just stood still, and at this moment, neither of the two people at the corner of the stairs spoke, for fear of destroying this delicate balance.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Li Heng withdrew his gaze from her, turned around and continued walking upstairs.

Zhou Shihe slowly came back to his senses when he heard the footsteps fading away. After a moment, he looked up and just caught the last glimpse of his back.

However, she did not rush to go upstairs. Instead, she stayed there for a long time before she moved her lotus steps lightly and rhythmically to the entrance to the second floor corridor.

What caught my eye was someone who was not polite at all, sitting on the sofa and using her home phone.

Hearing him calling her "Mom", Zhou Shihe went straight to the bedroom, closed the door when she entered, sat on the bed, and then her eyes accidentally fell on the dressing mirror, and she stared at herself in the mirror.

Staring at the mirror, she suddenly remembered the look Xiao Han's mother gave her last night.

I also remembered the way he looked at me in the stairwell just now.

It made her feel a little helpless and worried.

With a creaky sound, the bathroom door opened in the living room.

Zhou Shihe calmed herself down a little and walked towards the door. The moment she opened the bedroom door, her gloomy expression disappeared and she regained her calmness.

She smiled and said to Mai Sui: "You look very good in the red coat. You should wear it more often in the future."

Mai Sui had heard this from someone before, so she smiled tenderly and asked, "Did he chase you to the bedroom in order to monopolize your phone?"

Zhou Shihe blinked quietly: "He brought two women back."

Mai Sui turned his head to glance at Li Heng who was on the phone, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Han and the others?"

Zhou Shihe looked at her strangely.

Mai Sui couldn't stand the look from her best friend and defended herself: "Don't look at me, I'm not jealous."

Zhou Shihe smiled lightly, "Xiaozhu and Bai Wanying."

"Ah? Why are they here?" Mai Sui was a little surprised, and then said, "Come with me to take a look."

Zhou Shihe didn't refuse and followed him downstairs.

As for the person who was making a phone call upstairs, neither of the two women paid any attention to him. They were not worried that he would do anything bad at home and were very relieved.

After calling his mother to learn about their health and his second sister's business situation, he made his second call to Wang Ye.

As soon as the call was connected, he said, "I read your letter. You did a good job. I am very satisfied."

"thank you boss."

Wang also thanked him politely, then asked, "I have found the persons in charge of the branch campuses in Tianjin and Yangcheng. Teacher He Wen will be in charge of the branch campus in Tianjin, and Professor Zhao Li will be in charge of the branch campus in Yangcheng."

Li Heng was very familiar with these two teachers. He remembered that they had taught on stage during the trial class of Xinweilai. He asked, "Did they both resign?"

Wang also told him: "Teacher He Wen was reported for his part-time job outside, and the Beihang University leaders came to talk to him. Maybe there was a conflict during the process, so he resigned in anger; Professor Zhao Li of Renmin University took the initiative to submit her resignation. She is very optimistic about our new future and wants to concentrate on her work."

Regardless of how the two teachers came from the school, he was very happy to have gained two generals at once.

Wang also said: "According to the preliminary plan, the second round of enrollment will be scheduled for January 1st. Mr. Li, do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Heng said: "I have read your plan carefully, it is perfect, I have no objection for now, let's proceed as planned."

Wang also mentioned another matter: "How is Li Ran, the person in charge of the Shanghai branch?"

Li Heng asked: "What do you think?"

Wang Ye said truthfully: "At first I had other candidates. After receiving Li Ran's call, I thought about it again and again and decided that it would be safer for Li Ran to take this position. She is a veteran of New Future and has rich experience. With her around, I can devote less energy to the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

Li Heng reminded: "Her situation is rather special. We must be prepared for both scenarios and be on guard against her running away at any time."

Wang Ye said: "Okay, I will arrange a backup candidate to be her deputy."

Li Heng nodded.

Then Wang also told him about the last important thing: "Starting from the second phase, the New Future team will see a sharp increase in recruitment. Boss, please send someone from the human resources and accounting department over."

Hearing this, Li Heng understood. Her request to send someone was true, and her surrender was also true. After all, a company can only be under control if it has human resources and finances in its hands.

This was a big deal, so he didn't dare to be careless and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

After ending the call with Wang Ye, Li Heng thought for a moment and started dialing again.

This time he called Huang Zhaoyi.

I was lucky. I gave it a try and the call was connected right away.

"It's me." Li Heng said.

"Yeah." Huang Zhaoyi's mood instantly brightened when she heard the familiar voice.

"I'm calling from Zhou Shihe's house." Li Heng said.

"Okay, I will be careful with my words next time." Huang Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, then she understood and said so.

Li Heng turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the corridor, lowering his voice and asking, "What are you doing at this hour?"

Huang Zhaoyi said: "I am meditating."

Li Heng was surprised: "Meditation?"

Huang Zhaoyi explained: "I learned it from my grandfather. He has this habit of meditating for a while when he wakes up in the morning and before going to bed. I learned it without realizing it."

Li Heng said: "You are not like this every time I come to your house."

Huang Zhaoyi paused and said unnaturally, "No time."

She really didn't have time. Every time he came, she was busy serving him, either cooking for him or kneeling on the floor to serve him in sexual matters. How could she have the energy and time to meditate?

Recalling the scene of her eating ice cream, Li Heng felt itchy in his heart. He suppressed the urge to go find her and brought up the business: "I need two people. Do you have any..."

In one breath, he talked about the new future, and then waited.

Huang Zhaoyi was a little excited when she heard his request. What did this mean?
Does the fact that he asked me for someone mean that my position as his woman has been further consolidated?

He won’t just kick me away?
Huang Zhaoyi took two deep breaths, calmed herself down and said, "Yes, what kind do you want?"

Li Heng said: "Loyalty comes first, ability comes second. It is better if you have both ability and loyalty."

Huang Zhaoyi thought about it and immediately had a candidate. "I want them to report to you in a few days."

Li Heng said: "No need to come to me, I trust you, just let them go to the capital."

Huang Zhaoyi was somewhat happy, "Okay."

The two then chatted about the current situation of McCormick for a while. After more than ten minutes, she went through a mental struggle before hanging up the phone. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask, "I have learned a few more dishes. When can you come over and try them when you have time?"

The food tasting was the pretext, but the truth behind it was that she missed him.

Li Heng understood almost immediately and asked her, "How long will you stay in Shanghai?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "I'm going to Xiangnan in two days. I have a few business contracts to sign there."

Two days?
Li Heng was a little uncertain: "How about this, I'll come over when I have time, and if I don't have time, I'll go to Xiangnan to find you."

Huang Zhaoyi was used to it, so she didn't feel disappointed when she heard it. She said obediently, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Wait a moment." Just as she was about to hang up the receiver, Li Heng stopped her.

Huang Zhaoyi put the receiver back to her ear.

Li Heng said: "I haven't been back to my hometown for a while. When you arrive in Xiangnan, please buy some gifts for me and send them to my hometown for my grandmother, elder sister and aunt."

Then he talked about the gift list and bought them according to grandma and her friends' actual needs and tastes.

Huang Zhaoyi took notes on a piece of paper and said, "I'll send someone to deliver it."

The reason why she specifically said "send someone to deliver it" was to show her loyalty to him, indicating that she would not show up in front of others, would not expose the private affair between the two, and would not affect his relationship with the Xiao family.

Li Heng was very happy about her understanding and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He was happy, so her mood naturally improved as well, and they chatted for a few more sentences before ending the call.

The phone call lasted a total of 21 minutes. It was the first time the two had chatted for such a long time. In previous calls they would hang up after just a few words.

For example, one asks, "Are you there?" and the other replies, "I'm here, I'll come over, OK."

To celebrate the historic breakthrough in chat time, Huang Zhaoyi temporarily put aside meditation, happily opened a bottle of red wine, took out Li Heng's photo and put it on the coffee table, and drank it alone facing the photo.

She poured a glass of red wine, held the glass in front of the photo, and said, "Dad, you drink first."

She dreamed of having a child of her own with this man.

After the third call, Li Heng did not leave. After thinking for a while, he dialed again.

The fourth call was made to Shao City, to a high school English teacher.

Before he went to Aba last time, Liu Bei told him that Teacher Wang had been to Shanghai Airport. In the blink of an eye, 50 days had passed. He was a little worried, so he decided to take this opportunity to make a phone call and ask.

"Jingle Bell…."

"Jingle Bell…"

"..."

The phone rang five times before it was picked up. A female voice with a burp came from the other end, "Hello, who is this?"

"Teacher, it's me." Li Heng introduced himself.

Wang Runwen frowned and immediately came to his senses. "Why are you still not sleeping at this hour? What's the matter with you calling?"

"It's nothing, I just haven't contacted you for a long time, and suddenly I want to talk to the teacher." Li Heng said.

Wang Runwen crossed his legs and said, "If you have anything to fart, please fart now. I want to drink."

Li Heng was speechless: "Teacher, if you chat like this, you will kill the conversation."

Wang Runwen didn't care at all and sneered, "Chatting with you? I don't want to."

Li Heng asked, "You really don't want it? Then why did you come to Shanghai Airport?"

Wang Runwen suddenly got angry: "You are a man, why are you so fussy? No wonder Yu Shuheng is still a virgin. I really despise you!"

After that, she hung up the phone.

Are you angry already?
Li Heng glanced at the receiver in his hand and continued dialing. This time the number was connected after the sixth ring.

He spoke first: "Teacher, why don't you resign? My new future company is just right for you."

Wang Runwen shook his hair: "Send me to the capital?"

Li Heng said: "There are schools in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Beijing. You can choose whatever you want."

Wang Runwen: "What if I come to Shanghai?"

Li Heng said: "That's good too."

Wang Runwen narrowed his eyes and asked playfully, "You came to Shanghai City, do you want to borrow my belly to give birth to your child?"

Li Hengxin suddenly said, "If you really quit, I'll come pick you up."

"roll!"

Wang Runwen angrily scolded: "You shameless bastard, isn't Yu Shuheng's identity as a university teacher enough for you to satisfy your craving? You even set your sights on me!"

Li Heng muttered, "You are the one who always brings this up. I didn't think much about it at all."

"Haha!" Wang Runwen sneered on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Li Heng said, "Forget it, stop making trouble and talk about business. To be honest, if you are unhappy in Shao City, you can go out for a walk. Anyway, you are a top student who graduated from Renmin University. You will have no worries about finding a way out wherever you go, right?"

Wang Runwen didn't seem to want to talk about it, so he asked, "When did you come back?"

"yesterday."

“Is the scenery in Aba beautiful?”

"The scenery is beautiful, but the economy is too backward and the weather is cold. It's not suitable to go there in this season."

"Are you and Shuheng successful?"

"Didn't you just scold me as a virgin? Why are you still asking?"

"I just said it in anger, don't ask me even though you already know the answer!"

"hey-hey…"

"shut up!"

"No." Li Heng replied.

"Why, you don't dare to touch her? Or is it because of Xiao Han, Song Yu and Chen Zijin?" Wang Runwen asked several questions in a row.

"Both." Li Heng said honestly.

Wang Runwen was silent after listening for a long time, then he switched the receiver from his left hand to his right hand: "How is your new book going?"

Li Heng said: "I haven't started writing yet, but I plan to start writing soon."

Wang Runwen asked: "Tusi theme?"

Li Heng asked back: "Has Teacher Yu contacted you?"

Wang Runwen said: "She is right here with me. I just got her drunk and she fell asleep."

"what?"

Li Heng was a little confused, "When did Teacher Yu come over?"

Wang Runwen told me: "Yesterday afternoon, she heard that Xiao Han and her daughter were going to Lushan Village, so she flew over to drink bitter wine with me."

Li Heng: “….”

Wang Runwen asked sarcastically, "How about it? Do you dare to come over tonight? Come over and the teacher will sleep with you. Shuheng is next door. This exciting scene should satisfy you."

As he spoke, Wang Runwen picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Yu Shuheng next to him, and took a big sip.

The reason why she asked Aba a series of questions just now was to throw a smokescreen.

Yu Shuheng stared at the phone, and her fingers holding the wine glass unconsciously tightened a little.

Li Heng: “….”

He said, "Teacher, you are drunk, go to bed early. I am hanging up."

"Ha! You're a bastard with the intention of stealing but not the courage to do so!" Wang Runwen provoked him.

Li Heng ignored him and hung up after saying a few words.

Others may not know how much Teacher Yu can drink, but he knows that even if Teacher Wang is better than Teacher Yu, he is only so much better.

How is it possible that one is drunk and the other can still talk to himself soberly?
When the receiver beeped, Wang Runwen put the receiver back and said, "This bastard didn't fall for it."

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, swirling her wine glass and said, "Alright, you even dare to snatch my man openly, it's really getting more and more outrageous."

"What do you mean by your man? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me? You just had to watch Xiao Han and her daughter go to his house?" Wang Runwen responded sharply.

Yu Shuheng said softly: "You are talking at cross purposes. How do you know what I am pursuing?"

Wang Runwen put down his wine glass and crossed his arms over his chest: "Pursue? I think you are too ambitious! Is it so easy to replace Song Yu? Don't let another woman with a big belly overtake you before you even get close to Song Yu."

Yu Shuheng said: "As long as you don't go to my house without telling me, this won't happen in two years. They are still in school."

Wang Runwen squinted his eyes: "You really have a short memory. You forgot about that lady in blue? You were the one who told me about her existence."

Yu Shuheng rarely refuted and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her best friend like this, Wang Runwen slowly stopped talking and didn't say anything else.
