1987 My Era

Chapter 588,

Once the frail figure disappeared into the stairwell, Li Heng strode over to the sofa and picked up the red receiver.

Based on memory, I began to dial numbers skillfully.

“Ding-ling-ling…!”

“Ding-ling-ling…!”

Just then, the call was answered as soon as the second ring ended.

"Happy New Year! Who is this?" a female voice came from the other end.

Somewhat surprisingly, it wasn't Consort Huang.

Li Heng glanced at the receiver in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Happy New Year, please call Consort Huang."

There was a pause on the other end, then the question was blurted out: "Li Heng?"

This time it was Li Heng's turn to be dumbfounded, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's me."

“I am her second sister. Consort Zhao is taking a bath. Please wait a moment,” Huang Zhijun said.

Li Heng was puzzled. Why was her second sister in Yangpu on the third day of the Lunar New Year?

He clearly called Yangpu Xinwo.

Just as he was distracted, a familiar voice came through the receiver: "Li Heng, Happy New Year."

Li Heng snapped out of his reverie and asked, "Um, is it convenient to talk now?"

Huang Zhaoyi glanced at her second sister, who had left on her own, and said in a low voice, "It's convenient."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng bluntly stated, "I called you before the New Year, but you didn't answer. It's been seventeen or eighteen days. Are you pregnant yet?"

Huang Zhaoyi remained silent for a long time before finally replying, "No."

Li Heng frowned: "She's still not pregnant?"

In his past life, he was known as a pro at getting pregnant. When he didn't take any precautions, Zijing got pregnant immediately after graduation, and Xiao Han got pregnant right next to her.

Even Song Yu, who has a laid-back personality, got pregnant in less than five times after they got together.

As for Da Qingyi, she had been fighting a bloody battle in Changsha for three days and three nights. Her legs were so sore that she could no longer walk properly. She had been overfed and was still not pregnant.
Hearing this, Consort Huang was somewhat dazed.

After failing to conceive this time, she secretly went to Hong Kong and used her connections to find a reliable doctor to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of herself.

After the test results came back, the doctor told her that she had insufficient luteal function, which made it difficult for her to get pregnant.

In other words, she was too hardworking in her career and too anxious in her relationships, resulting in endocrine disorders caused by a lack of relaxation in her body and mind.

In metaphysical terms, it means that the more you desire something, the less likely you are to obtain it. This leads to mental anxieties and an inner imbalance.

Currently, she is adjusting her work and life routine according to the doctor's advice, and is also receiving medication and traditional Chinese medicine support at the same time.

Hearing his low, surprised expression, Huang Zhaoyi carefully explained, "I went to see a doctor, and the doctor said there was something wrong with my body."

"Is there something wrong with your body? Where is it wrong? Is it serious?" Li Heng asked anxiously.

Seeing his concerned tone, Huang Zhaoyi felt a warm feeling in her heart. "It's a problem with the luteal system..."

She immediately recounted the whole story in the simplest language possible.

After listening patiently, Li Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "It's alright, it's not a big problem."

You're young, don't put pressure on yourself about this. Wait until you're fully recovered, then we'll try again. I guarantee you'll have the child you desire.

Although Huang Zhaoyi is now over 30 years old, her face still gets hot whenever she thinks about those three crazy days with him in Changshi.

That's just too absurd.

His words of comfort lifted Huang Zhaoyi's spirits considerably, and her worries lessened. The two then chatted for quite some time before hanging up.

As soon as the call ended, Huang Zhijun, who had been observing, immediately came over and asked curiously, "What did Li Heng want to talk to you about?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "Let's exchange New Year's greetings."

Huang Zhijun asked, "There are no phones in Li Heng's hometown. How can he call you at this hour? Where is he?"

Knowing it was difficult to hide, Huang Zhaoyi simply said, "He's in Shanghai." Huang Zhijun was surprised: "So early?"

Consort Huang nodded.

Suddenly remembering something, Huang Zhijun stood up and asked, "Is he coming over to stay overnight? I'd like to make some space for you."

Looking at her second sister, who was pretending to test her, Huang Zhaoyi said, "You go, he will come over."

Huang Zhijun peeked over and asked, "Are you really coming over?"

Huang Zhaoyi picked up the keys. "I'm going to pick him up."

After saying that, the woman in the green dress drove off, leaving the second sister bewildered in the house. In the end, she had no choice but to return to her own home.

Huang Zhaoyi did not go to Fudan University, but drove around the surrounding area aimlessly, and returned home after her second sister left.

Actually, she really wanted Li Heng to come over tonight, and for a moment she even wanted to ask him, "Are you coming?", but in the end she didn't ask.

She couldn't conceive, and her mind was in complete turmoil. She was too ashamed to see him again for a while.

Moreover, he had already made it clear last time that these three days were the last chance during university, and if she didn't get pregnant this time, they would have to wait until after graduation to talk about it again.

With two and a half years left until graduation, Huang Zhaoyi knew it was fate and that haste makes waste; she had to learn to be patient.

...

After putting the red receiver back, Li Heng sat quietly for a while. Finally, remembering that Miss Zhou was still downstairs avoiding suspicion, he got up and went downstairs.

To be honest, he was already prepared to be a father before this phone call, but unexpectedly, Da Qingyi's belly didn't cooperate.

Sigh, I'll have to find a chance to visit her after I get back from Singapore.

Otherwise, the leading lady would definitely have wild thoughts, which would be detrimental to her recovery.

Going down the stairs to the first floor, Li Heng was surprised to find no trace of Zhou Shihe in the living room.

Ok?
Where did this girl go in the middle of the night?
Fearing he might miss something, he quickly searched every room on the first floor. He even checked the toilets and kitchen.

We still couldn't find it.

Where could she have gone in the time it takes to make a phone call? Li Heng stood in the center of the main room, looked around again, changed his shoes, and rushed out.

He had only rushed to the middle of the alley when he suddenly stopped! Guess what he saw?
To my surprise, the lights were on in the building next door, number 26!
I clearly remember turning off the lights before I came out, but they're on now. Could it be that Zhou Shihe went to my house?

With these thoughts in mind, Li Heng returned to Building 26. Sure enough, all the doors were only ajar, clearly opened by the girl with a key.

Finding no one on the first floor, he went straight to the second floor.

He saw people as soon as he reached the top of the stairs.

Sure enough, Zhou Shihe was at home, watching TV on the sofa.

Li Heng stared at his retreating figure for a while before walking over and asking, "Didn't you hear footsteps? Why didn't you turn around? How can a young girl be so carefree?"

Zhou Shihe looked up and saw his expression, which was half complaining and half worried. She remained silent, but her bright black and white eyes seemed to say: I can tell that the footsteps are yours.

They stared at each other for a long time. Li Heng understood her gaze, but still reminded her, "The doors on the first floor aren't locked. It's not safe."

Zhou Shihe turned her gaze back to the television: "My aunt just left."

Li Heng asked in surprise, "Your aunt came? Then left? And even stayed at my house?"

"Ah."

Zhou Shihe gave a soft "hmm," and said, "It's windy outside, so I brought her here."

Li Heng stared at her intently, sensing something was off. After a long pause, he asked, "Was I talking loudly on the phone? Could you hear me from the first floor?"

Zhou Shihe watched the television with composure and did not respond.

Li Heng plopped down next to her, feeling annoyed. After a moment's thought, he turned his head and winked at her: "Tell me the truth, did you come to my house with ulterior motives? Are you after my new manuscript?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shihe finally made a move.

She smiled faintly and winked at him.
