1987 My Era

Chapter 559, Things Are Always Unpredictable
After having breakfast, Li Heng stood at the door for a while, looking at the small building number 24 diagonally across the street.

Just then, the three little girls put on their schoolbags and prepared to go out, accompanied by the new female professor.

Seeing Li Heng looking at her, the female professor felt a little awkward, and she also thought of Ye Ning's indignant words earlier.

The female professor was indeed a gossip, but she still had basic intelligence. As soon as Ye Ning and the other three women left, she immediately inquired about Yu Shuheng's background from the neighbors.

But the neighbor was a shrewd one; he dodged the question and brushed it off.

After watching the three children and one adult leave, Li Heng shifted his attention and entered building number 25.

Yu Shuheng was on the phone. She glanced at him, then went back to her work, holding the receiver in her left hand and a pen in her right, constantly making notes in her notebook.

About seven or eight minutes later, she ended the call, stood up and said, "Let's go to Editor-in-Chief Liao's house."

"Eh."

The two filed downstairs.

When they arrived at the alley entrance, Teacher Yu handed him the car keys, saying, "I'm a little tired, you drive."

Li Heng asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm." Sitting in the passenger seat, Yu Shuheng closed her eyes to rest.

She really didn't get a good night's rest last night. She spent the whole night daydreaming, and finally, she had sex with the young man in her dream before she finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

This is the third time.

After meeting him, she started having erotic dreams.

Regardless of her subjective will, in her dreams, she transforms from an icy figure into someone who clings to him until death, releasing her last ounce of strength in a hysterical outburst.

Every time she woke up from the dream, she felt empty inside. The self in the dream was too enthusiastic and too accommodating to him, making her feel like a stranger.

At times like these, she would be reluctant to talk to Li Heng for a while, fearing that one day the scene in her dream would become reality and all the pride of the eldest daughter of the Yu family would be destroyed in bed.

The two did not exchange a word the entire way.

As they were leaving Yangpu, Li Heng, trying to strike up a conversation, asked, "Teacher, what do you think of my driving skills?"

“Very steady. You have a natural talent for everything you do.” Yu Shuheng glanced at him with half-closed eyes, then closed them again.

Her mind was wandering: in her dream, he was also very talented in bed, and she couldn't resist him at all.

Although the two had never had direct sexual relations, she had already experienced the pleasures of a woman twice through his large hands, even through their clothes.

This made her wonder: if she could handle it so skillfully with just one hand, what would it be like if the dragon whip that Jiao Jiao mentioned were to unleash its full power?
Is it even scarier than in a dream?
Yu Shuheng is a person with self-respect and does not want to mention Meng, but when she is alone with him in a small, enclosed space, Meng keeps drilling into her mind like a demon.

The car traveled smoothly through Hongkou and soon arrived at Huangpu.

The magazine "Harvest" is located in Huangpu, and Editor-in-Chief Liao's home is also here, only about 900 meters away from the magazine office.

As they passed a department store, Li Heng pulled over and said, "Teacher, I'm going to buy some gifts."

Yu Shuheng asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Li Heng opened the car door: "I don't know, let's go inside and take a look around first."

Yu Shuheng wanted to say that the trunk was all ready, but she swallowed the words and followed him into the department store.

Having known each other for so long, they had never shopped so leisurely before, and she wanted to relax and enjoy it.

When it comes to shopping, Li Heng is just like most men – he's straightforward and doesn't like to haggle, whether it's at a supermarket or a roadside stall. If he sees something he likes, he just keeps buying it.

Once the purchase is complete, the job is done; there's no dragging things out.

Sure enough, after browsing around the department store for less than 15 minutes, he had already filled both hands with bracelets.

Yu Shuheng asked, still wanting more, "Are you leaving already?"

Li Heng turned around: "Aren't you leaving? I can't carry any more with both hands."

Yu Shuheng smiled gracefully, took the initiative to help him carry one of the things, and said, "When you have time in the future, I'll accompany you shopping."

"How long after that?" he asked casually.

Yu Shuheng said, "Wait until I finish tutoring my students."

Li Heng readily agreed.

When he opened the trunk, he was dumbfounded. Looking at the dazzling array of gifts, he said, "So you had everything planned? Why didn't you say so, teacher?"

Yu Shuheng remained silent, instead gazing at him with a very intellectual air, the flames in her deep eyes flickering.

What this means is self-evident.

Li Heng faced her for a while, then his gaze shifted downwards, lingering on her full chest. He took two deep breaths and then pushed her into the passenger seat.

Yu Shuheng subtly curled the corners of her lips.

She could clearly sense that the young man had just developed feelings for her.

After he closed the car door, Ms. Yu brushed her hair back with her right hand and said in a soft voice, "Little man, if it were Runwen, what would she do if she saw you looking at her like that?"

This is a life-or-death question!

Anyone who answers that is a fool.

Li Heng's eyelids twitched, and with a nonchalant attitude, he said, "Do you think I would look at Teacher Wang like that?"

Yu Shuheng was satisfied with the answer and immediately began to pay attention to the buildings along the road, looking for Editor-in-Chief Liao's house.

Actually, he was lying just now.

Or rather, because high school English teachers are so sexy and well-dressed, they are basically the object of sexual awakening for the vast majority of high school boys.

Although everyone was terrified of Teacher Wang during the day, in private, they all had sharp eyes like thieves, constantly watching the English teacher.

Before his rebirth, Li Heng was no exception. Although he was dating Zi Jin, he secretly loved Song Yu.

But in the innocent years of childhood, who could resist a sexy, beautiful, and stylish female teacher?
The charm of a mature woman and the youthfulness of a young girl are different, even worlds apart.

Mature women are often representative.

Young girls represent pure love.

He had no idea how other boys secretly fantasized about romance.

Anyway, he ruined several pairs of pants because of his English teacher.

Just as his thoughts were drifting, a voice suddenly came from the side: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Heng instinctively let out a cry and turned his head away.

Yu Shuheng stared at his eyes meaningfully: "Are you thinking about Runwen?"

Li Heng shuddered, instantly snapping back to reality, and blurted out, "Don't be silly, you're the most beautiful and scholarly teacher in the world, why would I go to such lengths for you?"

Yu Shuheng seized on the loophole: "So, you still have ulterior motives towards her?"

Li Heng was speechless and too lazy to explain anything. Under her astonished gaze, he half-stood up and kissed her red lips, then returned to the driver's seat, started the car as if no one else was there, and drove off.

Caught off guard, Yu Shuheng stood frozen in place, staring blankly ahead, her mind filled with the image of him kissing her just moments before.

How dare this little boy do that in broad daylight?

Does he really disregard his identity as a university teacher?

It took her a very long time to process what had just happened.

For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke again.

There wasn't even eye contact.

Even though they had kissed twice in private, Ms. Yu still felt extremely uncomfortable in such a public setting.

Her good upbringing made her subconsciously afraid to publicly display this forbidden love in public places.

Of course, leaving the company is an exception.

If needed, and if he is willing to commit to the relationship, she will not hesitate to resign from her university teaching position to focus on nurturing their relationship.

A while later, Li Heng parked his Mercedes in front of a small building.

Yu Shuheng rolled down the car window and peered out: "Here?"

Li Heng replied, "It should be. Although I've never been here before, the address is here."

After getting out of the car, the two carried their things to the door and began to knock.

"Dong dong dong...!"

"Dong dong dong...!"

After knocking twice, there were footsteps inside the door, followed by a voice asking, "Who is it?"

It was my senior's voice.

Upon recognizing the voice, Li Heng immediately replied, "Senior brother, it's me."

Less than two seconds later, the bolt clicked and the door opened from the inside.

"Junior brother, what brings you here so soon... Good morning, Teacher Yu." Editor-in-Chief Liao opened the door, intending to joke with Li Heng, but immediately changed his tune when he saw Yu Shuheng behind him.

Yu Shuheng nodded with a smile.

"Come in quickly, the weather has changed today, it's cold outside." Editor-in-Chief Liao warmly invited the two into the house, closed the door, and then busied himself pouring tea and preparing fruit platters.

After looking around, Li Heng asked, "Senior brother, isn't Sister Xu here?"

"Yes, she's sleeping in the bedroom." As he said this, Editor-in-Chief Liao looked at Teacher Yu, and even this seasoned veteran of many relationships showed an awkward side at this moment.

Yu Shuheng seemed to know what the other person was being awkward about, and said gently, "It's so late, why is Suyun still sleeping?"

Uh… Editor-in-Chief Liao pondered for a moment, struggled with the decision, and finally decided to tell the two of them: “Suyun is pregnant and is quite sleepy now.”

"Cough cough!"

Li Heng, who was drinking tea, choked on his words and bent over, coughing violently.

Yu Shuheng reached out her right hand and gently patted his back back and forth.

Editor-in-Chief Liao watched the interaction between the two with some surprise, yet not entirely unexpected.

Last time, when he invited his junior brother to his home, he asked him: Who is the first person you think of?

After a moment of silence, the junior apprentice began to evade the question.

He guessed that his junior brother was probably thinking of Zhou Shihe, which was why he was unwilling to admit it verbally.

From that moment on, Editor-in-Chief Liao elevated Zhou Shihe's status several notches. To stand out among Li Heng's official girlfriend Xiao Han, his confidante Mai Sui, and Teacher Yu, and to outshine Li Heng's ambiguous relationships as a "non-celebrity," was a truly formidable ability.

Whether it's Xiao Han, Mai Sui, or Teacher Yu, which one is simple? Which one isn't a great beauty? Which one lacks unique characteristics?
Li Heng was stunned, and Yu Shuheng was equally shocked.

After a long pause, she asked, "When did Suyun get pregnant?"

Now that things have come to this, Editor-in-Chief Liao is quite frank: "She got pregnant as soon as she left Aba."

Li Heng stared incredulously at Editor-in-Chief Liao, who sported a small mustache: "You two got together in Aba?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao gave an awkward smile and tacitly agreed.

Li Heng recalled: "We had known each other for less than four days, senior brother. I admire you to the core."

Can you not admire it?
This jerk was all lovey-dovey with Zhao Ran one minute, and the next he got Xu Suyun pregnant. Even an F1 car's gearbox isn't that fast.

With Yu Shuheng present, Editor-in-Chief Liao was not very comfortable with these topics. After a few words, she got up and said, "I'll go wake Suyun up."

After the person left, Li Heng and Yu Shuheng looked at each other in the living room.

After a long silence, Yu Shuheng sighed softly, "I never expected Suyun to find her emotional home in this way."

Li Heng could only console him: "My senior brother is quite good in other aspects, except for his age."

Yu Shuheng stared at him with a strange look: "Just a bit older? Not as promiscuous as you?"

Li Heng touched his nose: "Those are all things of the past, don't dwell on them. They say a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold, people should look forward."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuheng leaned closer and teased, "Little brother, when are you going to turn over a new leaf?"

This is a problem that will never be solved.

As long as he doesn't want to give up on Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Zi Jin, there will never be an answer.

So he simply pretended not to hear, sitting there with his eyes down and mind at ease, letting Teacher Yu stare at him.

Even though his scalp tingled from being stared at, he remained unmoved.

Yu Shuheng had already expected him to be like this, so she wasn't disappointed. She quickly changed the subject: "Suyun is pregnant. Will you still deliver Zhao Ran's letter?"

Li Heng asked, "Can the teacher guess what's in the letter?"

Yu Shuheng pondered for a moment and said, "I can't guess, but one thing is certain: it will affect the relationship between Editor-in-Chief Liao and Suyun."

Li Heng hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I have been entrusted with this task, so I must be loyal to it. This is my principle in life."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Yu Shuheng's eyes, and she didn't say anything more about the issue.

A short while later, Xu Suyun came out of the bedroom. She was very happy to see her sister visiting her. She immediately pulled Yu Shuheng aside to reminisce, chatting away as if she had endless things to say.

After chatting with the two women for a while, Li Heng gave Editor-in-Chief Liao a wink and got up to go to the balcony.

Editor-in-Chief Liao understood immediately and followed suit.

Arrive at Yangtou and close the door.

Editor-in-Chief Liao asked, "I didn't expect you to bring Teacher Yu along."

Li Heng countered, "Who do you think I'll bring along, senior brother?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "In my opinion, Xiao Han is the best choice, and Mai Sui is also a good girl."

Li Heng rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "I think you've been blinded by love. With Sister Xu here, why would I bring other women to my door?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao chuckled: "Su Yun knows about your rich romantic history, so don't pretend. She said we're cut from the same cloth."

Li Heng took a step back, creating some distance between them: "No, no! You're a legend, I wouldn't dare compare myself to you. I'm not so great that I can sleep with a stranger after knowing her for only four days."

Editor-in-Chief Liao pointed in the air: "It's not that you can't, it's that you're just not good enough for most women. You have a female teacher in high school, a female teacher in college, and another female teacher in the community. Hey, I, your senior, am far behind."

Li Heng was speechless, as if he wanted to press down on this disrespectful old man with one finger and crush him to death.

Then he asked curiously, "Why would Sister Xu say that? Did you reveal all your dark history?"

Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Liao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two, gave one to him, and put one in his own mouth. He lit it with a match, took a few puffs, and said, "Su Yun's family is quite powerful. Even if I don't confess, I can't hide it. So I might as well take the initiative to be honest and try to get her understanding."

Li Heng pressed further, "What was Sister Xu's reaction?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao recalled, "She was more open-minded than I thought. After listening to my story, she just teased me for half a month, and then seemed to have forgotten about it. She never brought it up again, and her attitude towards me didn't worsen."

Li Heng touched his cigarette butt and said, "It seems that Sister Xu has really fallen for you; she can even swallow this."

Editor-in-Chief Liao felt this deeply and said with relief, "Having a child in my old age is such a blessing. I am grateful for the hormones."

Li Heng smoked half a cigarette, then took a letter out of his pocket and handed it over: "Here, your letter."

Editor-in-Chief Liao asked in surprise, "Whose is it?"

Li Heng turned the envelope over: "You don't recognize this handwriting?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao looked down, his expression turning serious: "Zhao Ran's?"

Without wasting words, Li Heng directly shoved the letter into his hand: "This letter was personally given to me by Aunt Zhao when I left Ma'erkang Town. She said I should give it to you in three months. Today is exactly three months."

Editor-in-Chief Liao seemed somewhat hesitant. "Did she tell you anything?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "Don't ask. I've said everything I need to say. Just open the letter and you'll know everything..."

Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped.

Because in his sight, his senior brother's hands were trembling.

Li Heng frowned and asked with concern, "Are you thinking about something?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao didn't reply. He stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, then tore open the envelope and began to browse through it in front of him.

The letter was very thin, just one page of paper, and not even filled with words.

But it took Editor-in-Chief Liao a long time to read this half-page of letter. By the time he got to the last word, he was already crying his eyes out.

Li Heng was puzzled: "Senior brother..."

Interrupting him from continuing, Editor-in-Chief Liao handed him the letter, indicating that he should take a look.

Li Heng was stunned, but in the end, he still took the letter and quickly read it through.

After reading it, he was dumbfounded. In the letter, Zhao Ran told Editor-in-Chief Liao that although she was unmarried, she had a daughter named Liao Chunyan, who was 27 years old and stayed on to teach after graduating from Sichuan University with a major in archaeology, while also serving as a museum researcher.

The entire letter revolves around just this one thing, but even a fool would know what it means.

Besides, the girl's surname is Liao.

That's pretty straightforward.

Li Heng was surprised, but not that surprised.

He had anticipated this kind of thing before he came, but he never expected it to be such a melodramatic plot.

Li Heng asked, "Does the age match?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao was trembling all over and choked up as she said, "It matches. She was only 19 when she was with me."

Li Heng handed the letter back to him. "Then what are you going to do? Aunt Zhao wrote this letter to you, probably because she wants to make up with you."

Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes flickered between clarity and confusion, and he naturally understood Zhao Ran's feelings. But now that Su Yun was pregnant, he was caught in a dilemma.

After finishing half a pack of cigarettes in one go, Editor-in-Chief Liao said with difficulty, "I have to go to Chengdu."

Li Heng didn't react, which was to be expected.

Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "Since I'm not here, I'll have to entrust Suyun to you and Teacher Yu for a while. I'll come to pick her up after I've finished my business."

Li Heng patted his chest and said, "It's nothing. When do you plan to leave?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao said, "The sooner the better. Zhao Ran's three-month stay is probably for some other purpose. I need to get there as soon as possible. After lunch, I'll take her to Lushan Village."

Originally, Editor-in-Chief Liao could have sent Xu Suyun to Grandpa Ba's house and let Sister Lin take care of her for a while, but considering the power of the Xu family, and fearing that Teacher Yu and Sister Lin might not be able to handle it, Teacher Yu became the best choice.

Back inside, Editor-in-Chief Liao went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Li Heng chatted with the two women, but he mostly listened while eating pumpkin seeds, occasionally chiming in.

But as they were talking, the fire started burning him.

Xu Suyun asked Li Heng, "Li, the great writer, among my group, only Shuheng and Ye Qing haven't had children yet. When are you going to get Shuheng pregnant?"

He knew Ye Qing well; they had spent two days together at Yuelu Mountain last year.

"what?"

Li Heng exclaimed, and under the gaze of the two girls, he opened his mouth and replied, "I haven't graduated yet, I'll listen to Teacher Yu on this matter."

This sounds rather obedient, but the title "Teacher Yu" already reveals his attitude.

Xu Suyun nudged her friend with her elbow, "Did you hear that? I said I'd listen to you. You should try your best with him tonight and have two big, fat boys."

Yu Shuheng gave him a meaningful look and said elegantly, "I'm only a little over 26 years old. No rush. I'll learn from your experience in raising children first." What does "learn from your experience in raising children" mean?

She was shocked by her friend's pregnancy and felt a little envious.

But she understood one thing even more clearly: it wasn't the right time for her and the younger man.

So she cleverly brushed off her friend's question, not wanting to put Li Heng in a difficult position.

Sure enough, Xu Suyun's attention was diverted, and she immediately shared her experiences and precautions during her three months of pregnancy with Yu Shuheng.

Lunch was quite plentiful, but Editor-in-Chief Liao's cooking skills were so-so that we could only make do with it.

After the meal, Editor-in-Chief Liao called Xu Suyun to the bedroom.

Yu Shuheng peeled half an apple for him and asked, "I noticed your senior brother's emotions were quite volatile. What did he write in his letter?"

Li Heng took a bite of the apple and mumbled out the whole story.

Yu Shuheng wrinkled her pretty nose upon hearing this, "Your daughter is only one year younger than Suyun?"

Li Heng, fearing trouble, chose to protect himself and continued to focus on biting into the apple.

Noticing his cautious demeanor, Yu Shuheng smiled and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Li Heng pretended not to understand: "With the teacher here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Yu Shuheng's smile widened as she threatened him, "I want two men and two women."

Li Heng turned his head and said, "Pregnant four times? Aren't you tired? Besides, it's impossible to precisely control whether you have a boy or a girl."

Yu Shuheng also took a bite of her apple: "Do you still remember Master Zou, the fortune teller from the beginning of this year?"

Li Heng nodded: "I remember, it was my senior brother who led us there. What did they say?"

Yu Shuheng said, "Master Zou told me that I would be pregnant with two sets of twins, one boy and one girl."

Li Heng's gaze shifted downwards, lingering on her lower abdomen for several moments, his mind filled with various thoughts.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, do you have a mole on your lower abdomen?"

Yu Shuheng looked at him, then at him again, and asked, "Why did you ask that question?"

Li Heng said deceptively, "I've read a fortune-telling chart, and it says that a woman with a mole on her lower abdomen will bring me good fortune."

Yu Shuheng found it amusing. "You call this fighting poison with poison? I get into character, and you get into character too?"

Li Heng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no."

After a standoff of half a day, Yu Shuheng said intellectually, "Haven't you seen my lower abdomen?"

Li Heng grinned: "It's too dark to see clearly."

Yu Shuheng recalled their ambiguous experiences, and it seemed that every time it was dark, she would tease him: "Go back and beg me, use all your tricks for dealing with women, and see if you can read my belly."

Just as Li Heng was about to speak, the bedroom door opened.

Editor-in-Chief Liao and Xu Suyun came out from inside.

Li Heng and Yu Shuheng both looked over, trying their best to get some information from the two of them, but all they could do was remain calm.

There wasn't a single piece of useful information.

Editor-in-Chief Liao approached them and said, “Professor Yu, I need to trouble you with something. I have to go out of town and would like to leave Suyun with you for a few days. I will pick her up when I return to Shanghai.”

Yu Shuheng agreed, "Okay. Suyun is with me, so don't worry, I'll take care of her."

After packing their luggage, the four of them got into the car.

Li Heng was still driving, from Huangpu all the way through Hongkou to Yangpu, and then to Fudan University.

After settling Xu Suyun in, Editor-in-Chief Liao left and rushed to the airport.

Li Heng asked Teacher Yu, "Teacher, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yu Shuheng said, "You go ahead and get busy. There's nothing to do here for now. I'll contact you if anything comes up."

"Hey, okay."

Li Heng responded and returned to Building No. 26.

Mai Sui and the others were not there at the moment, but there was a note left for him on the coffee table.

The note read: We went to the library to read books.

go to the library?

Why go to the library when you can stay at home?
Is there a good reading atmosphere there?
It seems that in the year and a half since he came to Fudan University, he has not spent much time in the library, which is extremely unacceptable for a student.

To be honest, he was quite interested in the library collection of a prestigious university like Fudan University, and thought he would go and browse around sometime to see if he could find any useful information.

After putting the note away, Li Heng went into his study. He first found a book to read, to calm his emotions, purify his mind, and organize his thoughts for the new book.

About an hour later, feeling that he had adjusted his writing state, he unscrewed the pen cap and began to write on the white paper.

Today I'm writing Chapter 17: The Ears Bloom.

It took us an entire spring to tour half of the Machi family's territory.

As summer began, we reached the southern border…

...

He felt that he was born to write books, that he seemed to have a talent for it, that he could concentrate and never find it boring, and that he really enjoyed it.

Before he knew it, three hours had passed, and he was still focused, getting more and more excited as he wrote. If it weren't for the footsteps in the living room outside interrupting his train of thought, he could still be writing and didn't want to rest.

He turned his head and met Sun Manning's eyes.

The girl asked without any remorse, "Mr. Rich man, have I disturbed you?"

Li Heng asked, "Is something the matter?"

Sun Manning said, "Li Guang and Zhou Zhangming from your dorm came to see you. They said Li Guoyi had an accident and is in the hospital now. The two dorms are planning to go visit him together and asked if you want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Li Heng put away his paper and pen, stood up, and walked outside: "Where are they?"

Sun Manning said, "I was looking at beautiful women in the alley outside."

Li Heng looked completely bewildered.

Sun Manning explained with a smile, "Wei Xiaozhu is here too. Mai Sui and Shi He are talking to her."

Li Heng understood: "Wei Xiaozhu brought it?"

Sun Manning wiggled her pert buttocks and said, "That's right, so smart."

Li Heng quickly went downstairs and asked Zhou Zhangming, "Old Zhou, why don't you come in and sit down?"

More than half of the school's most beautiful girls were here. Zhou Zhangming didn't dare to say a word. Seeing him was like seeing a savior. She didn't want to go inside. She said to him directly, "Let's not go inside. Maybe next time. We have to get to the hospital first, or it will get dark."

Li Heng looked up at the sky and then left Lushan Village with the two men.

Wei Xiaozhu followed behind.

On the way, he asked, "What happened? Why did Lao Li get into another fight?"

Zhou Zhangming shook his head: "We don't know the specifics of what happened. According to Zhao Yan, a senior student from Tongji University, in the evening, when the two of them were taking a shortcut back to school, they were stopped by several people dressed in black and wearing hoods. The other party attacked without saying a word, and did not say a single word until they broke Lao Li's legs and knocked out all her teeth before leaving."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng glanced at Wei Xiaozhu on his left without making a sound.

As if sensing something, Wei Xiaozhu also looked at him.

After a brief exchange of glances, Wei Xiaozhu didn't say anything, but he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

It's likely that Liu An has come for revenge.

Last time, Liu An had both legs broken and all his teeth knocked out; this time, the method was almost identical.

The two dormitories met at the school gate, and after buying gifts in Wujiaochang, they rushed to a nearby hospital.

To his surprise, Yue Yao also came.

Taking advantage of a moment when they were alone, Li Heng asked Wei Xiaozhu, "What happened to Le Yao?"

Wei Xiaozhu understood what she meant and sighed, "Le Yao is a very traditional person and has a certain obsession with her first man."

Li Heng thought for a moment and uttered four words: "Unresolved feelings?"

“That’s how it is,” Wei Xiaozhu said.

Li Heng sighed, "What a pity. If Lao Li had treated her well, she would have been happier than anyone else for the rest of her life."

Wei Xiaozhu strongly agreed with this view.

Upon entering the hospital, the group inquired around and arrived at an operating room.

A group of people were already waiting in the aisle.

One of the fashionable women was angrily talking to a middle-aged man, implying that the murderer should be found, severely punished, and preferably executed!
The middle-aged man had a dignified appearance and a broad forehead. Judging from his appearance, he was someone who had long held a high position. Even after such a big event, he still appeared very calm.

Li Guang said, "That woman is Li Guoyi's mother, and the one next to her is his uncle."

Is he Li Guoyi's uncle?
It turned out to be the case.

Old Li is usually quite high-profile and eccentric, mainly because she has a good uncle backing her up.

When they saw a group of students approaching, Li Guoyi's family, who were in a state of grief and anger, didn't pay much attention at first. However, when they caught sight of Li Heng in the crowd, their expressions changed instantly.

Li Guoyi's mother suppressed her anger and, on behalf of a relative, expressed her gratitude to the students in the two dormitories, and brought some fruit and soft drinks.

In front of everyone, the middle-aged man extended his right hand to Li Heng and said in a friendly manner, "Hello, Mr. Li."

The middle-aged man didn't know how to address Li Heng.

Calling someone a "great writer" is problematic, given the age gap of several decades; it could be seen as blatant flattery.

Calling someone by their name would be too disrespectful. Even if it were the big boss of Shanghai, they would still be treated with respect because of their social status, reputation, and wealth.

Moreover, a rumor had already been circulating in the small circles of Shanghai: the only daughter of the Yu family was very fond of this great writer, and was now just waiting for him to graduate so that they could get married.

Listen! Listen!
With this explosive news, who in the Shanghai stock market would dare to provoke Li Heng?

Of course, this news was not unfounded. When Li Heng's identity as a writer was exposed in September, it was the eldest daughter of the Yu family who was busy with everything, helping to welcome and send off guests. What this meant could not be kept from those who were interested.

So the middle-aged man simply called him Mr. Li.

Li Heng recognized the other person; he had occasionally seen him in the newspaper. He extended his right hand and smiled, saying, "Hello, Uncle Liu, just call me by my name."

The middle-aged man was pleased by the address "Uncle Liu," and his smile widened.

While chatting and anxiously waiting, the operating room door finally opened, and a doctor wearing a mask came out.

Li Guoyi's mother immediately rushed over and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"

Seeing so many people, the doctor was a little embarrassed to speak, but he still said, "The surgery on both legs went smoothly, but one of my testicles broke."

Egg?
What eggs?

Almost everyone present understood what the doctor was saying at a glance.

But for Li Guoyi's mother, this news was like the sky falling! One second she was all domineering, the next she fainted on the ground.

The doctor quickly knelt down to perform CPR and soon revived Li's mother. He then comforted her, saying, "The surgery went smoothly and will not affect your fertility, marriage, or having children. Don't worry."

Li Guoyi's mother regained hope: "Even an egg?"

These words sounded awkward, but the atmosphere among those present was tense, and no one laughed.

The doctor said, "Yes, under normal circumstances, one is enough."

Out of concern, Li Guoyi's family surrounded the doctor and asked him many questions.

Because of the injured person's family's influence, the doctor dared not refuse to answer and patiently explained everything one by one.

A little while later, Li Guoyi was wheeled out of the hospital bed, his eyes closed. Was he still asleep? Or did he simply not want to see anyone?
Seeing this, the two students from the shared dormitory simply watched silently, and no one made a sound to disturb the other.

After all, losing an egg is something no one can accept!
Le Yao even started to cry.

However, Li Guoyi's official girlfriend, Zhao Yan, had somehow slipped away.

Li Guoyi's mother noticed that Le Yao was acting strangely, and despite her heartache, she came over and asked, "Miss, you must be Le Yao?"

Le Yao hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve. "Yes, Auntie."

Li Guoyi's mother looked Le Yao up and down for a while, then suddenly bowed and said heavily, "Oh, that boy is unlucky. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Li Guoyi's mother's behavior before and after was like that of a completely different person, leaving everyone at a loss.

Le Yao panicked even more and quickly said, "Auntie, I don't blame him."

Upon hearing this, Li Guoyi's mother sighed heavily again and left with tears in her eyes.

After staying at the hospital for almost two hours, and seeing that Li Guoyi still refused to open his eyes, the two dormitory members had no choice but to leave.

Even though the doctor said he should have woken up, no one saw Li Guoyi open his eyes.

Leaving the hospital, Li Guang, who had been suppressing his emotions, jumped up and exclaimed, "Damn it! Who did this?! That's incredibly ruthless!"

Several people made the connection to Liu An, but no one said it aloud.

Because the case was so serious, no one dared to make any rash statements without any evidence.

Of course, even if Li Heng, Zhang Bing, Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing didn't say it, they all knew that Li Guoyi knew better than anyone else who the murderer was!

Because the other party's methods of retaliation were basically a replication of Li Guoyi's cruelty, only with some interest.

Interest is just an egg.

Back at school, Wei Xiaozhu called out to Li Heng, Zhang Bing, and Dai Qing, "Wait a minute, I need to talk to you about something."

The others exchanged glances, then wisely left.

After everyone had left, Wei Xiaozhu said, "I'm in a bad mood, why don't you guys have a drink with me?"

Dai Qing glanced at her watch. "It's so late. If we drink, we won't be able to get into the dorm."

Before Li Heng could speak, Zhang Bing interrupted, "Come to my rented place. I have some wine and braised dishes. I can also cook a few dishes."

Seeing Li Heng's confusion, Dai Qing helped explain: "Zhang Bing took your advice and has now rented a store in Wujiaochang."

Li Heng has been busy writing and reading lately and hasn't been paying much attention to what's going on outside. He immediately asked, "Old Zhang, how's business since we rented the shop?"

"It's great, even better than before." These two simple sentences revealed Zhang Bing's inner joy.

Fudan University is not far from Wujiaochang; you'll arrive quickly.

To the surprise of Li Heng, Wei Xiaozhu, and Dai Qing, Bai Wanying was actually in the rented apartment with another young couple.

Bai Wanying introduced: "This is my eldest sister, and this is my brother-in-law."

The young couple were initially quite relaxed, but when Bai Wanying introduced Li Heng's identity, they became noticeably more reserved, even straightening their posture.

Upon learning that they were going to drink, Bai Wanying's older sister and brother-in-law volunteered to go to the kitchen and cook some snacks to go with the drinks.

Li Heng asked Bai Wanying, "Did your eldest sister and brother-in-law bring over some braised food?"

Bai Wanying said, "Yes, the braised food that Zhang Bing sells is delivered by them that same evening. In the summer, to prevent it from spoiling, they deliver it in the morning."

Drinking is really just drinking.

However, Wei Xiaozhu was drinking alone.

Li Heng, Bai Wanying, Zhang Bing, and Dai Qing knew why Wei Xiaozhu was depressed, so they tried to keep the conversation lighthearted.

It wasn't until Zhang Bing and Dai Qing were drunk that Wei Xiaozhu asked Li Heng and Bai Wanying at the table, "Who do you think did it? Was it Liu An?"

Through drinking, Bai Wanying had learned the whole story. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If not 100%, it's at least 90% certain that Liu An did it. And..."

Wei Xiaozhu asked, "And what?"

Bai Wanying said, "Given Li Guoyi's ruthless nature, this matter is definitely not over."

Li Heng interjected, "Don't scare Comrade Wei Xiaozhu. Liu An and Lao Li are actually the same kind of people, and their methods are equally similar. It's really hard to say what will happen next."

Wei Xiaozhu looked down at the wine in her glass, and after a while asked, "Do you believe in the idea that beautiful women bring disaster?"

Bai Wanying and Li Heng looked at each other, and then Bai Wanying said reassuringly, "What does this have to do with you? Li Guoyi and Liu An got to this point because of their personalities. If it weren't for you, Wei Xiaozhu, there would be Chen Xiaozhu or Zhang Xiaozhu. The cause and effect of this has nothing to do with you, Xiaozhu, so don't overthink it."

Li Heng chimed in, "Wanying is right. Even if Lao Li has a crush on you, she has never confessed to you, and you have remained completely uninvolved throughout. She has nothing to do with you."

Bai Wanying continued, "Xiaozhu, you must have had many crushes during your middle school years. If you treat them all with this kind of sympathy, you won't be able to live a normal life in the future. You'll worry about everything and you'll worry yourself to death sooner or later."

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and said, "It's not as scary as you think. I'm just a little sad. Liu An wasn't like this when he was a child. We used to play together all the time. I never thought he would turn out like this when he grew up... Sigh, I won't hide it from you two. I'm just worried that Li Guoyi will come after Liu An after he's discharged from the hospital. Neither of them is willing to suffer a loss, and I'm afraid it will only make things worse."

Bai Wanying asked, "Are you afraid someone will die?"

Wei Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, "It's unlikely to result in loss of life, but the consequences will be serious."

Bai Wanying weighed the beer bottle in her hand: "No one is holding their hands. If they go down a path of no return for a fight of pride, then it's fate!"

Then Bai Wanying said, "However, I do not agree with your point of view. This time, the Liu family and the Li Guoyi family will definitely use all their strength to compete. It is hard to say who will win or lose."

But regardless of who wins or loses, if both sets of parents are reasonable and understand the seriousness of the situation, they will restrain their sons. If they don't, then it's the father's fault for not teaching his son properly, and who else can be blamed?

That night, Li Heng stayed up all night with Junzi and drank quite a bit, eventually collapsing onto the table.

Wei Xiaozhu said to Bai Wanying, "I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker. You remind me of someone."

"You mean ears of wheat?" Bai Wanying asked.

Wei Xiaozhu nodded with a smile: "Yes, Sui Sui can drink a lot, I've never seen her drunk."

Bai Wanying asked, "Wouldn't Mai Sui not drink alcohol in front of others?"

“Well, when Li Heng isn’t around, Mai Sui will only drink one beer at most, and then she won’t drink anymore. Nobody dares to persuade her to drink more,” Wei Xiaozhu said.

This is what Dai Qing told her.

Dai Qing said that Mai Sui was absent from 9 out of 10 student union gatherings; even if she came once, she would only drink one beer at most and then sit still, but no one dared to urge her to drink.

Bai Wanying sighed, "Maisui is such a good woman, she puts all her heart into Li Heng. If I were Li Heng, I would break up with Xiao Han and love only her."

Wei Xiaozhu deeply agrees.

Bai Wanying suddenly burst out laughing.

Wei Xiaozhu looked over, puzzled.

Bai Wanying said vaguely, "Xiaozhu, you'd better not show that same sympathy for Li Guoyi and Liu An again tonight, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Bai Wanying continued drinking her baijiu without saying anything more.

Wei Xiaozhu fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Bai Wanying asked, "It's no fun for me to drink baijiu alone. Can you drink some more?"

Wei Xiaozhu said, "I'll try again."
