1987 My Era

Chapter 88, Jealousy? Unexpected Letter (Subscribe!)

When Li Heng saw Song Yu and Xiao Han's eyes meet, he panicked reflexively.

Then he reacted.

Fortunately! Fortunately! Now the two of them don't have too many entanglements, so they won't break up.

Song Yu learned from Chen Zijin that Xiao Han had been secretly in love with Li Heng, and Li Heng had shown his affection to her several times.

But she doesn't care about that.

So when she saw Xiao Han, Song Yu remained calm and unperturbed.

Xiao Han is a girl with outstanding grace, calmness and self-control, so she is definitely not going to be stage-frightened.

When they met this time, the two women just greeted each other politely and there was nothing unusual.

However, the next scene made Xiao Han a little emotionally broken.

The desks used these days are the old-fashioned lift-top desks.

When Li Heng lifted half of the table top and put the bottles and jars in, she saw a blue umbrella lying inside.

It was Song Yu's umbrella, which she remembered particularly clearly.

Mr. Li, are you planning to keep this broken umbrella for having children?
It's just an old umbrella. Just tell me and I'll buy you as many as you want!
The depressed Xiao Han became even more depressed, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and looked away, behaving generously and appropriately without any flaws.

Song Yu noticed her little action, then looked at the blue umbrella and lowered her head to do her own thing.

Li Heng also noticed it and thought something was wrong. He quickly put the food he brought from home into the desk, then got up and followed him out.

When they went down to the first floor, Li Heng said to Yang Yingwen, who was not very tactful:
"Old rag, when the class ends in the evening, most people have to go to the bathroom. Why don't you go?"

Hearing this, Xiao Han curled the corners of his mouth slightly and looked away pretending to be calm.

Yang Yingwen glared: "Li Heng, if you want to chase me away, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush. I just can't stand you, so I deliberately didn't leave."

Li Heng: "..."

After scolding him, Yang Yingwen finally left.

As soon as the rustic girl left, Li Heng turned to look at Xiao Han: "When did you come today?"

Xiao Han didn't want to respond to such meaningless compliments. There was only one direct bus from Qianzhen to Shao City, which ran on time every day.

If you want to find a topic to strike up a conversation with me, find a good one. Don't be so heartless just because I like you.

Seeing that she was walking forward slowly and ignoring him, Li Heng followed her and asked, "Are you jealous?"

This sudden and frank statement left her at a loss for a moment.

Xiao Han really wanted to say, I have been jealous since a long time ago.

But she didn't have the courage to say it, because she cared about this vague and fragile relationship. Whoever cares about it will suffer the consequences.

Xiao Han stopped, his eyes curved, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Li, who are you? Give me a reason to be jealous?"

Li Heng nodded and said with his white teeth showing, "I'm glad you're not jealous. It seems I was just being sentimental.

Anyway, no matter what, I apologize."

Xiao Han smiled sweetly and said, "Your apologies always seem weird. Last time you apologized to me because you felt guilty about liking Song Yu, and today you apologized again because of the umbrella. How can I say hello to you, Chen Zijin's ex-boyfriend!"

Li Heng's eyelids twitched. This girl has so many tricks up her sleeve.

He sighed and said, "You said you weren't jealous, but look, the umbrellas are out."

Xiao Han said pitifully: "Actually no, but to give you face - well, I'm so jealous."

Li Heng took two steps closer, his breath almost hitting her face: "Selling me face? Isn't your purpose to make me angry to death?"

"No way? Who said that!" Feeling the warmth beside his ear, Xiao Han, who had just pretended to be calm, blushed again. He turned his head hurriedly and ran into the teaching building where Class 206 was located with courage that he didn't know where he got from.

Looking at the quickly disappearing figure, Li Heng felt a sense of excitement for no reason. Living with this treacherous and vindictive girl, he didn't have to worry about life being boring, but he had to be on guard against the danger of a car accident at any time. …

The tense and busy days in the third year of high school always go by quickly, and before you know it, ten days or half a month have passed.

During this period, Zou Aiming and Li Tuanming were locked in the office by their class teacher for a whole day and not allowed to eat because they missed the Chinese and mathematics exams.

Quxinyan and Zou Aiming got into trouble when they were climbing the wall. They were pulled under the national flag by school leaders and made to stand at attention for a long time as punishment.

At the end of the second class, Li Heng took Liu Li and bought two ice creams to help the wounded. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the vice-principal:

"Li Heng, do you want to stand up there too?"

Li Heng hurriedly shook his hand: "Teacher, I just came here to learn from them. I want to interview them about what it feels like to be on the command platform."

The vice-president was not so easily fooled. He said with a fake smile, "Your 215 dormitory is well-known throughout the school. I have taught for decades and have seen quarrels, but it is rare to see someone as stubborn as you. I think you have a chance to take the command platform."

Li Heng was speechless and quickly said, "Teacher, I really don't want to go to the podium. I'll leave immediately."

The vice-principal yelled, “Wait.”

Li Heng turned and looked at him.

The vice principal held out his hand: "Give me the ice cream. You just had diarrhea a while ago. Why did you eat so much ice cream?"

Li Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that he said so much just to get free food and drinks.

If this is the case, you should have told me earlier. I have enough money in my pocket and can afford the invitation.

Not long after I sent out "The Troublemakers", reader Huang Zhaoyi wrote to me again.

The letter was brought to him by his English teacher.

There is no other way. In order not to reveal his identity, he now fills in his English teacher's home address in all external correspondence.

This time the letter is two pages shorter than the last time, only two pages.

Even so, Li Heng still felt that it was a lot. After all, it was just a chance encounter.

The general content of the letter was: She was very grateful to Li Heng for replying to her letter, which made her feel very happy.

In order to leave a good impression on Li Heng, she briefly introduced herself this time. Her main job was a teacher at the drama academy, and she was also a Peking Opera performer and a part-time literary critic.

Li Heng was stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect that writing a novel would attract Peking Opera actors.

It seems that the previous judgment was relatively accurate. The other party is a senior intellectual with high literary literacy.

From then on, it was all about literary exchanges. Or, in other words, people were very humble and were humbly asking him for advice on literature.

After reading it word for word, Li Heng was still confused. You are a teacher at a Chinese opera academy and a literary critic, why are you still asking me for advice?

My time is precious and I don't have time to deal with you now. He threw the letter into the desk and planned to talk to you when he was in a better mood and remembered it.

However, he obviously underestimated the other party's ability. On the 10th day after the letter was covered in dust, Harvest magazine called.

It was Editor-in-Chief Liao who called personally.

The phone call contained two contents:

First, "The Troublemakers" passed the review, and I discussed the fee with him, which was still 30 yuan per thousand words, and then he was waiting...

What are you waiting for?
Of course, we have to wait and see whether Li Heng will ask about royalties?

However, this time Li Heng did not ask for an exorbitant amount of money. After all, it was just a small account, and it would be invalid after one use.

Of course, the most important consideration was that Mr. Ba was kind enough to him and Harvest magazine was tolerant enough towards him, so he did not mention a word about royalties this time.

ps: I had a high fever of 39.6 degrees at noon today, and I felt dizzy. I got an IV drip in the afternoon and it got better. Now it seems to be back. My head feels heavy and it is hard to write. I plan to take medicine and go to bed early, and try to update before tomorrow's resumption. Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.
