1987 My Era

Chapter 237, The Wisdom of Wheat Ears (Subscribe!)
It was already past 10 o'clock when I came out of the piano training institution and returned to Fudan University.

Li Heng kept his promise and immediately ran to Building No. 12 to get someone.

"Auntie, please call the wheat ear at 213 for me."

As soon as he arrived at the girls' dormitory building, he started to flatter her with a warm and enthusiastic face.

The dorm aunt looked at the clock on the table, ate some sunflower seeds and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you calling a female classmate so late?"

"It's her birthday today, so I'm giving her a gift." Li Heng lied without hesitation.

The dormitory manager looked at him for a long time, half believing and half doubting, and finally turned on the small speaker to help shout:
"The wheat ear at 213, someone is looking for you downstairs! The wheat ear at 213, someone is looking for you downstairs!"

Hearing this call, Li Heng came closer and asked, "What's this, no boys are looking for Mai Sui recently?"

"What are you still looking for? Everyone in this school knows that you two are close. Which boy is so stupid?" The dormitory manager was eating melon seeds again without saying a word.

Look at what you said, it's like getting Mai Sui as your partner, isn't it just a good relationship? Is having a good relationship against the law?
213 Dormitory.

Because Mai Sui read for too long at night, his eyes were a little tired and he had already lay down on the bed, almost falling asleep in a daze.

After hearing the loudspeaker shout twice, Zhou Shihe, who saw that her best friend didn't move, came to her bed and gently pushed her:

"Sui Sui, wake up, someone is looking for you."

"Well"

Mai Sui turned over reluctantly, not even bothering to open his eyes, and asked vaguely: "Shi He, who is looking for me?"

Zhou Shihe looked at the other people in the dormitory and whispered in her ear: "The dormitory manager is calling you, it must be Li Heng."

"what?"

Mai Sui suddenly opened his eyes, stared blankly at Zhou Shihe for a few seconds, then quickly sat up, "How long has it been?"

"Just now." Zhou Shihe said.

After getting out of bed and putting on shoes, Mai Sui looked at herself in the mirror, took a comb and simply tidied up her right side hair which was messed up from sleeping, and then left the dormitory.

Not long after, she appeared on the first floor and in front of Li Heng.

"I just fell asleep. Have you been waiting for a long time?" She said this as soon as we met.

Not wanting to let the dormitory manager know that he was lying, Li Heng gave her a subtle look and turned to leave the No. 12 girls' dormitory area.

The wheat ears understood and followed closely behind.

The dormitory auntie in the window saw this scene, bit open the sunflower seeds with force, and said to herself: "Happy birthday, darling! Don't try to fool me."

After walking about 100 meters forward, Li Heng came to an empty tree, stopped and explained his purpose.

After listening to his words quietly, Mai Sui did not express his opinion for a while.

The two looked at each other, and Li Heng asked tentatively: "Are you worried about Xiao Han?"

She stared at his eyes expressionlessly for a long while, then suddenly smiled tenderly:
"No, let's go. Don't keep Teacher Yu waiting for too long, or else she'll think too much, which is not good."

Li Heng did not move from where he was, and added: "If you are unwilling, don't force it. I will have my own reasons for Teacher Yu."

After taking two steps, Mai Sui turned back and asked, "Is this still you? Li Heng, why are you so pretentious?"

Li Heng smiled warmly, revealing his neat white teeth: "Because I can see that you are not sincere."

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll go back." After saying that, Mai Sui walked back with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Heng instinctively reached out and grabbed her hand.

He was stunned, and she was stunned too!

There was no one around and the air suddenly became quite strange.

For a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one said a word.

After a long while, Li Heng calmly let go of her, breaking the silence and asking, "Do you want to go back and get some clothes?"

"No, I took a shower in the evening." Mai Sui turned around again and walked towards Lushan Village with his head down.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything at first, walking one in front and one behind.

Just walking like that.

When they were almost entering Lushan Village, Li Heng, who was behind them, livened up the atmosphere and asked, "Hey, girl in front, do you need me to explain?"

"Okay, I hope you can explain it." Mai Sui laughed.

"Flowers? What kind of flowers do you like?" Li Heng pretended to be crazy.

"Sakura," she replied.

"Hmm? Have you seen cherry blossoms?"

"No, I've seen illustrations in books, and I think real flowers must be beautiful."

"I don't really believe it. Can anyone be as beautiful as you?"

Mai Sui didn't even turn his head back: "Did you catch up with Xiao Han by talking nonsense like this?"

"No." Li Heng said.

Mai Sui slowed down his pace, waited for him to come up, glanced at him, and asked curiously: "Then what do you rely on?"

Li Heng reached out and touched his face. Seeing that she didn't react, he touched the whole face again, from the eyebrows to the corners of the mouth, and from the corners of the mouth to the eyebrows, over and over again.

Mai Sui found it funny, "I would trust other girls based on their looks, but Song Yu and Xiao Han are obviously prettier than you."

Li Heng snorted, "She has liked me since junior high school."

Mai Sui's eyes widened in surprise: "Weren't you and Zijin in love in junior high school? How could she be...?"

Li Heng said faintly: "It seems that what you said makes me feel different now."

Mai Sui was stunned, staring at him closely, and even forgot to walk.

Li Heng walked forward about 10 meters and found that the people around him did not catch up, so he had to turn back again and raised his hand in front of her:
"It's not the first time you've known about my feelings, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Mai Sui asked in confusion, "You're playing with fire like this, aren't you afraid that they'll make a big fuss one day?"

Li Heng said: "Afraid!"

Mai Sui was puzzled: "Then you still...?"

Li Heng said: "So I have to keep getting stronger."

Mai Sui was speechless: "I thought you were going to choose one seriously and marry one of the three of them."

Li Heng did not answer directly, but threw the question to her: "If you were me, who would you choose?"

Mai Sui subconsciously wanted to talk about Song Yu, but after observing Xiao Han these past two days, she swallowed the words back.

The next thing she wanted to do was to exclude Chen Zijin because among the three women, Chen Zijin had no advantage in appearance, but she gave up the idea later.

Even if Chen Zijin does not have an advantage in appearance, that is only relative to Xiao Han and Song Yu. If placed in Fudan, he may not be worse than senior Ye Zhanyan.

The reason why she compared herself with Senior Sister Ye was that she felt that Chen Zijin had a similar temperament to Senior Sister Ye.

In high school, Chen Lijun once said to her privately: "I don't envy Song Yu, nor do I envy you, I envy Zijin." Mai Sui asked at the time: "Why?"

Chen Lijun said: "There is no particular reason, and I can't explain why. I just simply like her face. I wish I could look like her."

Well, although they have the same surname, Chen, Chen Lijun can only be considered a pretty girl, and there is a big gap between her and Chen Zijin.

If she had not left Shao City in her second year of high school, she would have been a frequent guest praised by her English teacher.

Hey, speaking of the English teacher, Mai Sui suddenly remembered something. Since entering the third year of high school, the English teacher seemed to have never mentioned Chen Zijin again?
In the first and second year of high school, because of Li Heng, Zijin, Song Yu and myself had a very harmonious relationship with the English teacher. Why did it suddenly become like this?
Did Zijin have a conflict with his English teacher?

But having said that, she still admired Li Heng very much. The girls he picked were almost the best looking among those of the same period.

Chen Zijin in elementary school, Xiao Han in junior high school, Song Yu in high school, and...

This guy from university is still doing his job well so far.

"Why are you looking at me weirdly? Is there something wrong with my face?" Li Heng couldn't help but ask when he noticed something was wrong.

Mai Sui asked what was on his mind: "Did Chen Zijin have a conflict with his English teacher? Why did the English teacher stop mentioning Zijin after senior year? Not even a casual greeting."

Li Heng looked away and shook his head, "I don't know. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed it."

Mai Sui didn't believe it, "Why do I feel like you're lying?"

Li Heng helplessly spread his hands and said, "When I go back during the winter break, can I ask your English teacher for you?"

Mai Sui asked, "Are you going back to see your English teacher during the winter break?"

"She has only been ill for a short time, so of course I have to visit her when I go home. She has helped me a lot with my writing in the past," said Li Heng.

Mai Sui almost knew everything about helping with writing, but he still felt something was wrong.

Then she thought of something: from what Manning said, it seemed that his English teacher stayed with him throughout the summer vacation, and they traveled across most of China together.
As she was thinking, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in her mind, and then she was stunned by her own thought!

Mai Sui shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of this unrealistic and messy idea from her mind. Because she could not trust her English teacher, but she trusted Li Heng.

And this trust is unconditional.

Otherwise, she would not have stayed in Lushan Village, and they would not have been alone.

Of course, her trust can also be subject to a necessary condition, that is, the existence of Song Yu.

She had every reason to believe that since Li Heng met Song Yu, he gradually lost interest in the girls who came later.

It is even more extreme to speculate that if Chen Zijin and Li Heng had not been in love before she met Song Yu, Chen Zijin might not have had a chance.

As for Xiao Han, she didn't dare to speculate. After all, her conditions were there. If the two women were love rivals, Song Yu wouldn't dare to say that she was 100% sure of winning.

Therefore, based on this analogy, it is almost harder than ascending to heaven for women who appear after Song Yu to win Li Heng's heart. She is like a mountain barrier, blocking the way for those who come later.

Thinking back to Xiao Han, Mai Sui asked, "So, Xiao Han fell in love with you before you became a writer?"

Li Heng answered yes.

Mai Sui stopped talking. The difference between the love before he became a writer and the admiration after he became a writer was huge, and could even be described as a world of difference. To put it bluntly, the former was pure love, while the latter was more or less mixed with vanity.

After entering Lushan Village, the two had not yet returned home, but met Teacher Yu and Chen Siya in the yard of the small building No. 24 next door.

It seems something happened.

Teacher Chen Mohan was also there, facing Chen Siya across a stone table. Even though neither side spoke, the smell of gunpowder was very strong in the air.

The fake Taoist priest kept explaining, but the two women surnamed Chen simply refused to listen.

Yu Shuheng was different. She sat on the stone bench on the other side and watched the whole show at her leisure. Well, it felt like she was watching a play, but with no expression on her face.

Seeing Li Heng appear, the anxious fake Taoist priest seemed to have seen a savior. He hurriedly pulled him aside and asked:

"Li Heng, I always follow your advice. Now that we are in this situation, do you have any good solutions?"

Li Heng was confused: "When did I tell you to have two relationships at the same time? Am I such a bad person? Would I instigate you to do such a bad thing?"

The fake Taoist priest pulled him in by the arm. "Well, you don't want to admit it, right? What happened between Mai Sui and Xiao Han? I just learned from you. I added fuel to the fire on both sides and that's why the situation got into trouble."

Li Heng was even more confused: "You're not really two-timing, are you?"

"No, that's impossible. I, Lao Fu, am not such a person. I just used Teacher Chen to deal with Siya. It's her fault that she ignored me for eight years. I haven't retreated yet, right? I will be 8 in a few years." The fake Taoist priest who said this looked worried and confused.

Li Heng broke free and said, "Old Fu, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Everything has a limit. Do you know the limit?"

"Bullshit! Didn't you also bring Mai Sui to your house to spend the night? At least I didn't do anything so outrageous. I just invited Teacher Chen to have a midnight snack. What's wrong with that?" The fake Taoist argued like a stubborn donkey, but he became even more panicked.

"Tsk! Get out of my way, don't talk to me about wheat ears. In my heart, wheat ears are not that cheap."

This was the first time that Li Heng spoke well of the fake Taoist priest. This man was really too mean.

Being scolded, the fake Taoist priest looked nonchalant and whispered: "You are a great writer. I bought your book specially to read. You have mastered the ways of the world in the book. Teach me how to deal with the problem at hand first, and then I will treat you and Mai Sui to a big meal."

Li Heng scolded: "You still owe us Western steak."

"Hey, don't be so naughty, kid. If Xiao Han hadn't come on Friday, would I not treat you two? I bought the best steaks that day." The fake Taoist said angrily.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If I lie, God will punish me with lightning!"

"Then please tomorrow."

"can."

Li Heng glanced at the two cross-eyed people in the yard and asked meaningfully, "Have you studied politics?"

"Although I, Lao Fu, majored in mathematics, I was able to be admitted to Tsinghua University. How could I not study politics?" The fake Taoist grinned, indicating that he asked an idiotic question.

"Don't mention Tsinghua to me. If you mention it again, I will turn around and leave without discussing it with you." Didn't you see that I didn't get into Peking University, but you keep talking about Tsinghua to me? Be careful.

The fake Taoist priest seemed to have guessed his thoughts, grinned, and asked anxiously: "Tell me, how can emotional matters be related to politics?"

"Of course there is. Do you understand what the main contradiction is? Are you clear about what the secondary contradiction is? If you understand it clearly, it will not be difficult to solve it." Li Heng circled him.

The fake Taoist thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Okay, you are quite capable, no wonder Xiao Han is the only one at home these past two days."

Seeing the fake Taoist priest return to the yard, Yu Shuheng glanced at Li Heng outside the door, thoughtfully, then stood up and walked out, leaving the space for the three parties involved.

Li Heng and Mai Sui also tactfully stayed away from Building 24.

When they reached the end of the alley, Mai Sui called out, "Teacher."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly, "Mai Sui, thank you for your help."

Mai Sui said, "It's not a problem. The weather is good tonight, so we can observe outer space."

Yu Shuheng nodded and said to her, "Come into my room and sit for a while. I need to take a shower first."

Some of the words were easy to understand. Teacher Yu didn't dare go home alone in the dark and needed someone to accompany him.

The two women went into Building 25, but Li Heng did not go in.

What is he doing? She is taking a shower.
