1987 My Era

Chapter 201, Mai Sui Numbness, Cooking for Teacher Yu (Please subscribe!)
I spent 5 cents on one meat dish and one vegetable dish, stir-fried cauliflower with meat and radish leaves. This dinner was already of high standard in the Fudan cafeteria.

He found a corner and sat down. There was too much meat, so Mai Sui gave him more than half of it. He couldn't help asking, "Why did you give up the erhu and go on stage with the ocarina?"

Li Heng deliberately kept the secret: "Because I thought of a good song, you will understand it tomorrow."

The more this happened, the more curious Mai Sui became, but fortunately she was a reserved and calm person, so she didn't keep asking.

Li Heng asked: "You are the host of the School of Management Welcome Party on Friday. Are you ready?"

"Almost." replied Wheat Ear.

Li Heng urged, "Perform well this time and strive to replace Liu Yue at the New Year's Eve party and become the host of the school party."

Mai Sui smiled and said, "If Liu Yue heard this, she would probably break up with you."

Li Heng rolled his eyes. "If you want to break up, then break up. I'm not that familiar with her. With our relationship, I will naturally help you."

Mai Sui smiled and said thank you.

After dinner, she went to find the student union host Ye Zhanyan and asked her to submit the repertoire.

Li Hengze went back to the dormitory. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he ran into Zhang Bing playing the erhu. Judging from his posture, it should be a newly bought one.

Seeing him appear, Zhang Bing immediately pulled him over enthusiastically: "Lao Li, you are finally back. I saw you playing the erhu so well at the last military training art performance, and I was tempted to buy one, so I bought one too. But you promised to teach me."

This was indeed the case. Li Heng did not try to fool around. He moved a stool and sat over and started teaching attentively.

Half an hour later, Li Guang came back. He simply greeted Li Heng and Zhang Bing when he entered the room, then climbed onto the bed, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.

Li Heng and Zhang Bing looked at each other, got up and left the dormitory, and went to the grass outside to teach erhu.

Unexpectedly, by such coincidence, I actually ran into Li Guoyi and Le Yao taking a walk. Li Guoyi grabbed Le Yao's hand and trotted over: "Hey! Brother Heng, Brother Bing, you are playing the erhu, let me, a rough guy, come and learn from you."

Glancing at the two holding hands, Li Heng seemed to understand why Li Guang was so unhappy.

He raised his head and asked, "Are you two dating?"

"Hehe! Didn't we dance last time? We held hands and hugged each other. Of course I couldn't let Le Yao run away, so she agreed." Li Guoyi talked nonsense and made Le Yao's face blush.

Zhang Bing sighed, "It's better for you to have a free love relationship. It's really fast."

"Hey! Fast? That's not fast at all. Old Tang and Wei Sisi read books together in the library every day, that's fast. That guy didn't even tell anyone when he returned to the dormitory. He hid it really well. I'm going to torture him when I get home." Li Guoyi gestured, filled with righteous indignation.

The two dormitories had anticipated what would happen between Tang Dailing and Wei Sisi, so they were not surprised.

While teaching erhu, the four of them chatted and stayed on the grass for nearly two hours. During this time, Le Yao spoke very little and just listened the whole time.

It was not until they were about to leave and go back to the dormitory that Le Yao said to Li Heng, "Li Heng, a fellow student from the computer science department is pursuing Dai Qing."

Li Heng didn't react after hearing this. "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. This is a happy event."

Le Yao sighed, "Hey, why do you react like this? You don't care at all? But don't worry, Qingqing refused."

Li Heng smiled, handed the erhu to Zhang Bing, and returned to the dormitory.

When the two walked away, Li Guoyi tilted his head and asked, "Why did you mention Dai Qing in front of Brother Heng?"

"You are silly. It is obvious that Qingqing is interested in Li Heng. I was just testing her just now. Unfortunately, Li Heng is a stone and doesn't understand." Le Yao felt sorry for her friend.

Li Guoyi said, "Do you know why I call you Brother Heng?"

Le Yao asked: "Yeah, that's weird, you're a month older than him, why do you call him brother?"

Li Guoyi chuckled, "Last time we had a fight at the dance, I was going to ask my uncle to help me, ha! In the end, the school had already settled the matter before my uncle showed up. At first I thought it was Old Hu who did it, but Old Hu said his family didn't have that much influence. Later we thought it must be Brother Heng who helped us settle everything."

Le Yao's eyes widened: "Really? Our dormitory is also discussing Li Heng's background and connections."

Li Guoyi pointed and said, "Think about it, we were all reprimanded in the training office that day, but what was he doing?"

Le Yao said: "I'm drinking tea with a teacher in the office next door."

Li Guoyi snapped his fingers: "Yes!"

Le Yao was puzzled: "Haven't you seen Li Heng's academic information? Didn't he say he was from a rural village?"

Li Guoyi said: "This is the most amazing part."

Le Yao slowly understood, "You mean, Li Heng doesn't like Dai Qing?"

Li Guoyi shook his head: "I guess so."

"Why? Even if Qingqing is not as pretty as Xiaozhu, she is still very pretty. Why can't you like her?" Le Yao spoke up for her friend.

"Haha, why? Because the person walking with him was Mai Sui." Li Guoyi's words left Le Yao speechless.

After a long while, Le Yao said, "Didn't they say Mai Sui is not his girlfriend?"

"So, Brother Heng is even more powerful." Li Guoyi kept chattering.

Le Yao pushed him and said, "Why are you praising Li Heng so much?"

"Bragging? I'm looking at the essence through the phenomenon. Have you ever seen anyone dare to skip 10 out of 4 classes? This is Fudan University. No one will tolerate you if you don't have the ability." Li Guoyi's analysis completely confused Le Yao.

That night, a dormitory resident cornered Tang Dailing who had just returned from reading in the library and asked him, "Old Tang, what happened between you and Wei Sisi? Confess and you will be treated leniently. Refuse and you will be treated severely. Tell the truth."

Tang Dailing touched his head and said, "We are just friends, how do I explain it?"

Zhou Zhangming asked: "Have you ever held hands?"

Tang Dailing shook his head so loudly that it made a tinkling sound.

Li Heng asked: "Have you confessed your feelings?"

Tang Dailing continued to shake his head.

Hu Ping said, "Neither this nor that, it's completely innocent. How about I go and try to pursue Wei Sisi?"

Tang Dailing suddenly became angry: "Stop fucking around! Go after your Wei Xiaozhu, she's mine."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and Tang Dailing laughed foolishly too.

Li Heng joked: "Old Tang, I'll wait for your wedding candy."

Tang Dailing patted his chest and said, "No problem. If it works out, the first piece of wedding candy must be given to Brother Heng."

After some questions, Zhou Zhangming asked Li Heng: "Lao Li, what's going on between you and Mai Sui? I often see you two together, but you're not my girlfriend. I think Mai Sui is a good girl, so don't push it. It's a blessing to be able to date someone as good as Xiao Wang, and you won't lose points."

Li Heng said: "I have a partner."

"Damn! Whenever a girl chases you, you say you have a boyfriend. Are you kidding me?" Li Guoyi asked with his neck stiff.

Li Heng glanced at Li Guang who was lying motionless on the bed next to him, blinked, and signaled his brothers to change the subject.

The young men were all perceptive. When they received the signal, they immediately changed the topic. They stopped talking about women and started talking about Journey to the West and Water Margin. These were old topics in Dormitory 325. They were very exciting and noisy, and they didn't go to bed until very late.

The next day, after the 6th class, Mai Sui appeared in front of Li Heng on time.

Surprisingly, the Student Union President Ye Zhanyan was also there.

Mai Sui introduced, "The school's top leaders will be present at the welcome party, and I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I want to come and listen to your ocarina performance." Ye Zhanyan apologized, "Li Heng, please don't be offended. I know this is not good, but there is no other way. Your erhu level is obvious to all, and you don't need to be tested or rehearsed. As for the ocarina, although I believe you, I hope you can understand me."

People in the world are helpless, and every position has its own responsibilities. Li Heng can certainly understand, "It's a small matter, let's go outside the school."

Ye Zhanyan borrowed a bicycle specially, and without asking why they were going outside the school, he followed the two of them out of the school gate.

Not long after, Li Heng brought the two women to the place they were at yesterday.

Wow! The scalper and the old man are still there.

When he saw Li Heng, the old man smiled at him with his yellow teeth. It was obvious that he didn't expect that this boy would keep his word and really come today.

Coming to a big rock, Li Heng asked the two girls to pick a clean place to sit down, and then he started to fiddle with the ocarina and began to build up his emotions.

Gazing into the distance, two minutes later, he picked up the ocarina, put it to his lips and started to play.

000561 When the prelude of the music sounded, Mai Sui and Ye Zhanyan's eyes lit up and their expressions became amazing.

The two women looked at each other, with nothing but amazement in their eyes.

As "The Original Scenery of Hometown" progressed slowly, the two girls stared at his back in a daze, listening to him with fascination!

After 4 minutes and 40 seconds, Ye Zhanyan couldn't wait to ask: "Li Heng, why is this song so beautiful? Where did you hear it? Why haven't I heard it before?"

Li Heng showed his shameless spirit and smiled back: "I created it myself, do you believe it, senior sister?"

"You, you created it yourself?"

Ye Zhanyan was horrified, as if he had heard a dream: "Did you really create this? When did you create it?"

Having said this, she was in such extreme shock that she didn't realize she was speaking incoherently.

Li Heng nodded. "This song has been brewing in my mind for many years, and I have been working on it on and off. It was only completed a while ago."

Ye Zhanyan stared at his eyes for a long time, then suddenly turned sideways and asked Mai Sui: "Mai Sui, do you believe it?"

Mai Sui stared at Li Heng and said softly, "Believe it!"

How can I not believe it?

Of course she believed it, because the man in front of her had given her too many expectations. He was a great writer, could play the erhu, piano, and flute, and could cook, and his cooking was delicious. Which of these was easy?

Now it’s just one more original song, and the wheat ears are already numb.

Noticing Mai Sui's expression, Ye Zhanyan's heart was in turmoil. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said to Li Heng with admiration:
"Junior, this song is so good, I have never heard such good music, I am still feeling numb now.

My intuition tells me that the day it is released will be the beginning of its brilliant glory.”

This is really true. Li Heng is very confident in this legendary song.

Now that I'm here, I won't walk so fast. Just like yesterday, I practiced patiently over and over again for more than 10 times before stopping.

Mai Sui and Ye Zhanyan did not leave either. They just listened to him like elementary school students for as long as he practiced, and did not feel bored at all.

During this time, Ye Zhanyan quietly asked Mai Sui: "Does Li Heng have a partner?"

Wheat Ear said yes.

Ye Zhanyan looked at him carefully again and asked, "Is his girlfriend very beautiful?"

"Yeah." Mai Sui hummed.

Ye Zhanyan said: "What a pity, with this song, he will never lack a girlfriend in the future."

Mai Sui understood what Senior Ye said as a pity, but said nothing.

After playing for more than an hour, Li Heng stopped when he felt his lips were a little chapped:
"Ladies, let's go. It's getting late. Let's go back to school."

Ye Zhanyan raised his right wrist, glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "It is worthwhile to witness such a great piece of music today. Junior brothers, please allow me to treat you to a meal. Don't refuse."

She said this sincerely, and it was also an apology for her previous "distrust".

As an experienced person who had lived two lives, Li Heng naturally understood her thoughts. He immediately got on his bicycle and said happily:

"I have one good point, which is that I love it when someone invites me to dinner. How can I refuse? Let's go!"

The two girls were amused and followed him towards Lao Li's restaurant.

After dinner, the three of them separated.

Ye Zhanyan has something to do, so he'll leave first.

Li Heng and Mai Sui returned to Lushan Village.

On the way, Li Heng asked, "It's said that Senior Sister Ye has a boyfriend. Is he from our school?"

Mai Sui shook her head: "No, I heard from Ning Ning that her boyfriend is three years older than her and is currently studying abroad in Cambridge."

Ning Ning's full name is Ye Ning. She is a cousin of Ye Zhanyan and also lives in Mai Sui's dormitory. It was because Mai Sui accompanied Ye Ning to the student union that Ye Zhanyan spotted her at first sight.

Li Hengya was surprised: "Three years older? Did you date him yourself?"

Mai Sui said: "No, it was arranged by their elders when they were young, so it can be considered a child marriage, but the two of them recognized each other, so they got together."

"I see."

When passing by Building No. 24, the fake Taoist priest on the balcony adjusted his golden glasses and shouted across the air: "Li Heng, Mai Sui, I have meat and good wine. Have you eaten yet?"

Li Heng looked up and asked, "Old Fu, is the meat ready? It won't need to be cooked, right?"

Fu Yanjie was exposed, and smiled awkwardly, then said cheerfully: "I wanted to make it myself, but I thought your cooking skills are better than mine, so I didn't do it."

Hearing this, Li Heng winked at Mai Sui.

Mai Sui smiled tenderly and understood what she meant, saying, "Teacher Fu, we've already had dinner, and he said he'd make it for you tomorrow."

"Oh, you two are really, really...! Alas, I have had enough of wine and meat but can't even have a meal. It's so miserable." The fake Taoist waved his Taoist robe with both hands and looked at his own shadow in the sunset, feeling sorry for himself.

Hearing the conversation outside, Yu Shuheng came out of the house and asked Li Heng: "Can you cook?"

If it were anyone else, Li Heng would definitely say no, but for Teacher Yu, he nodded honestly: "Yes, a little."

The fake Taoist priest interrupted, "Teacher Yu, don't be fooled by him. He is not good at cooking. It tastes better than the ones in restaurants outside. I remember the beef hotpot last time very clearly. I drool just thinking about it."

Yu Shuheng asked again: "Will it be wild boar meat?"

The two looked at each other and Li Heng said yes.

Yu Shuheng said, "Last time, Runwen gave me some wild boar meat, but I never made any. Can you help me make it?"

Hearing this, the fake Taoist priest stopped sitting and threw away his Buddhist whisk, stood up with a whoosh, and shouted shamelessly: "I have the best goat meat and winter bamboo shoots. Teacher Yu, let's work together to get a chef and a table."

Because of Chen Siya, Yu Shuheng and Fu Yanjie have known each other for many years. She smiled and agreed.
