1987 My Era

Chapter 171: Which temple did the Buddha come from? (Subscribe please!)
I thought the English teacher would talk to me in the classroom corridor, but unexpectedly, he just left the teaching building and went to the liberal arts library across the street.

Yu Shuheng went up to the third floor of the Liberal Arts Library, turned right at the stairs, and walked along the corridor to the end, where she finally stopped.

While she was taking out the key to open the door, Li Heng looked up at the nameplate on the door and realized that this was the office of the school youth league committee.

What are you bringing yourself here for?
Does she hold a part-time position here besides teaching?
With doubts, Li Heng followed him into the house.

Yu Shuheng put her bag and textbooks on the table, picked up the thermos teacup with her left hand, unscrewed the lid with her right hand and took two sips before she slowly sat down and unlocked the drawer.

She lowered her head and took out two letters, placed them on the corner of the table, and said, "These are your letters. One of them came during the military training period, and you were not in school, so I didn't notify you."

Li Heng recognized at a glance that the handwriting on the envelope was Song Yu's, and said thank you happily.

Then I looked at the second letter, which was from Shao City and written by teacher Wang Runwen.

Teacher Wang would write to him? He had never expected that. However, due to the inappropriate occasion, he did not open the letter.

Yu Shuheng deliberately put the letter from her best friend down there, and then secretly observed Li Heng's facial expression.

Sure enough, just as she expected, when Li Heng saw Song Yu's letter, he instinctively showed surprise.

When Li Heng saw the letter from her best friend, she was more surprised. Although the degree of surprise was not great, she saw it all.

Yu Shuheng pointed to a package in the corner of the table and said, "This is yours, too."

besides?

Li Heng bent down and picked up the package. It was not big or heavy, and even a little light. It said "clothes" and the handwriting was still that of a high school English teacher.

What kind of clothes are worth shipping all the way here? Isn't it a waste of money?

However, this is in line with Teacher Wang's efficient personality, and Li Heng felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

When he turned his attention away from the package, Yu Shuheng asked at the right time: "Are you having any difficulties in school?"

Li Heng shook his head: "No, thank you, teacher."

Yu Shuheng asked again: "Do you want to join the school youth league committee?"

Li Heng still shook his head: "No time."

Yu Shuheng seemed not to hear what he said, and instead said, "Your teacher asked me to register your name. Maybe it will be useful in the future, or it may just be a burden."

Li Heng asked: "Teacher Wang?"

Yu Shuheng nodded slightly.

Li Heng hesitated for a while and agreed.

Seeing that the teacher started to busy himself with his own things and ignored him, Li Heng took the letter and package and turned to walk towards the door.

When he held the door handle with his right hand and opened the door halfway, Yu Shuheng suddenly asked from behind: "Who did you learn English from?"

Li Heng turned around and said without thinking, "Teacher Wang."

Yu Shuheng raised her head and smiled, and then stopped talking. It was obvious that she did not believe this answer.

Where is the flaw?
After leaving the library, Li Heng kept thinking about this question.

Later I thought, isn’t it just that I’m good at English? So what? Isn’t it a problem?

When he returned to the classroom, the bell for the third class had just rung. Li Heng opened the advanced algebra textbook and listened for a while. He found that he was basically familiar with what the teacher said. As long as he took the time to review the textbook content, he could skip this class.

After making a judgment about advanced mathematics in his mind, he couldn't wait to open the letter sent by Song Yu.

The letter was not thick, just two pages of paper, with three paragraphs on it.

Paragraph 1: Song Yu recounted what she saw and heard on her first day in Beijing, including her first impression of the city, her feelings about Peking University, and the interesting things she saw along the way.

In the second paragraph, she said that she would have military training soon and might not have the chance to reply to his letter during the training. At the same time, she said that she met Chen Zijin, who came to the school to find her, and together with Xiao Feng, the three girls had dinner together.

Is Chen Zijin so quick? He went to find Song Yu right after school started?
For some reason, Li Heng couldn't help but think of the time in his previous life when Song Yu rejected him twice when they were about to marry each other, and it was Chen Zijin who was behind it.

Zijin is really quick-witted. Staring at the letter, Li Heng smelled a hint of danger.

Then I wondered if Chen Zijin had said something to Song Yu or given her some kind of precaution that made Song Yu mention him in the letter?

Otherwise, if you know that you have feelings for her, you won't mention it to avoid embarrassment.

No! He had to go to the capital. Li Heng, who didn't want the story to repeat itself, made a decision immediately.

The reasons are ready-made. Next Wednesday is Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also Song Yu’s 19th birthday.

Calm yourself down and continue reading the third paragraph.

This paragraph mainly expressed blessings, saying that she had read "Cultural Journey" and saw all the praise in the newspapers, and she was really happy for him.

Song Yu is Song Yu. Li Heng sighed silently after reading the letter twice. There was not a single nonsense in the whole letter, nor a single word that could make him have ambiguous thoughts.

But he was still quite relieved, at least Song Yu remembered his words and wrote to him when she went to the capital.

Compared to the previous life when they were still strangers and classmates at the same time, this level is already a huge improvement.

However, Chen Zijin was also in Beijing, so he could not relax at any time. This tigress would be fine if she did not get angry, but when she got angry, the kind-hearted Song Yu could not stand up to her, and only Xiao Han could break her arm.

After reading Song Yu's letter, Li Heng then opened the letter from his English teacher Wang Runwen.

Teacher Wang’s letter was even shorter, just one page with two paragraphs.

The first paragraph asks him how he is doing in Fudan and whether he is used to it.
In the second paragraph, she reminded him again that if he encountered any difficulties, he could look for her best friend Yu Shuheng, as she had already reminded him repeatedly.

The two paragraphs together contain less than 150 words, just like Teacher Wang himself, concise and to the point, and written in an elegant and free-spirited manner.

After reading the whole article, there was no information about the clothes. This made Li Heng unable to help but quietly open the package under the table.

At first glance, they were two woolen sweaters, one white and one gray. They felt very good to the touch and the styles were fashionable and beautiful.

Li Heng liked it very much, and it was probably not cheap. Then, Li Heng replied with two letters.

One letter was to Song Yu, mainly talking about her life at school.

He did not mention in the letter that he was going to the capital, intending to give her a surprise.

The other letter was to my high school English teacher, telling her that I had received the clothes and that I liked them very much and expressing my gratitude.

Every time he wrote to his English teacher, he was intentionally restrained in his words and did not express himself as freely as he did when facing Song Yu.

After reading and writing the letter, the third class was over.

After putting the letter away, Li Heng met Liu Yue when he left the classroom.

Seeing the girl looking at him with strange eyes, Li Heng asked casually: "Classmate Liu Yue, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Liu Yue glanced around and whispered, "Isn't the English teacher beautiful? You kept staring at her as soon as she came in."

I'm not the only one watching, the whole class is watching, what do you care about me?

Li Heng had no idea what she was up to, so he kept silent.

Liu Yue asked again: "Am I pretty? Or is the English teacher pretty?"

Li Heng said: "We are not that familiar with each other, let's change the question."

Liu Yue smiled strangely and really changed the question: "If we are both 26 years old, who do you think is more beautiful?"

26 years old?
Isn’t Yu Shuheng only 26 years old this year?

Li Heng's face twitched, and he deliberately asked back: "Are you interested in me when you ask such a question?"

Liu Yue stretched lazily and squinted her eyes and said, "You are really bold, wait until you become famous and successful and ask me this question again."

Li Heng replied angrily: "Then wait until you are 26 years old, then ask me who is prettier, you or your English teacher."

After saying that, he walked past her and went straight to the counselor's office.

Liu Yue tilted her head to look at his back and walked into the classroom.

...

Counselor's Office.

Seeing him come in, instructor Liu Jia stopped writing and asked, "Why are you looking for me again?"

Li Heng sat down on the chair next to him: "I am your student. If I encounter problems, who else should I turn to if not you?"

The instructor turned around and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Heng said: "Teacher, I want to buy a washing machine, but I don't have a ticket. What do you think...?"

The instructor asked: "You have hands and feet, but you still need to buy a washing machine when you live alone? Do you know how expensive a washing machine is? Even my family can't afford it..."

Halfway through the conversation, the instructor frowned and said, "I forgot you are a rich man. I will ask you later."

Li Heng thanked him and continued, "Teacher, I also want to go to Beijing. Can you help me get a plane ticket?"

The instructor slammed the pen in his hand on the table, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just a small instructor, not even a lecturer. What? Do you think I'm omnipotent?"

Li Heng blinked his eyes and said, "Everything depends on human effort. Think of a way. When I become rich, I will definitely take the teacher to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

The instructor stared at him intently, and after a while asked, "It's only been one day since class started, what are you doing in Beijing?"

Li Heng said, "It's a bit urgent."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the instructor waved her hand and said, "Go to the secretary and director next door and ask for leave first. Once the leave is approved, I will help you ask about the plane ticket."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately stood up and asked, "Teacher, where does Principal Sun live?"

The instructor looked up and asked, "Why are you asking the principal?"

Li Heng replied: "Please ask for leave."

The instructor was upset, "Are you still in contact with Principal Sun?"

As soon as she said this, she felt that she had asked a stupid question. If the school did not agree, he would not be allowed to live in the building at No. 26 Lushan Village.

Thinking of this, the instructor had a headache. He glanced at the door, leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Which temple did you come from, the Buddha?"

Li Heng asked cheerfully: "Teacher, who gave me the flute and erhu?"

The instructor sat up straight and said, "The bell has rung. Go back to class. I'll get back to you later about your leave and flight tickets."

"Hey, thank you, teacher." Li Heng left quickly.

Seeing this, the counselor stood up, walked to the door and looked out, then closed the door and started making a phone call.

"Boom...boom...boom!"

The phone rang three times and then it went through.

"Hello? Who is this?" A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Li Heng came to see me." said the counselor.

"What does he want to talk to you about?" the other end immediately became alert and asked.

The counselor talked about the washing machine tickets, leave, and plane tickets.

After listening to this, the other end said, "Thank you, I'll arrange it."

The instructor looked at the receiver in his hand, then looked at it again, and finally held back, not asking why.
