1987 My Era

Chapter 268: You can’t wake up someone pretending to be asleep, everyone is eagerly waiting (please subscribe!)

Wang Runwen directly pressed the hands-free button and crossed his hands over his chest: "Don't get carried away, you are just playing with the tiger."

Yu Shuheng said: "You used the wrong word. Such young boys are not my type."

Wang Runwen sneered, "Naive? Haha, I'm afraid that their emotional experience will be better than yours. In front of the vast sea of ​​love between men and women, your self-righteousness may be a rope around your neck. You won't even know how you died when the time comes."

Yu Shuheng looked at the coffee in the cup and said with a smile: "You are in the mountains, but you don't know where the clouds are. I told you a long time ago that Shao City is still too small. There are so many young talents outside. Runwen, you really should go out for a walk."

Wang Runwen mocked: "A man who has crossed the river? Why haven't you married yourself yet?"

Yu Shuheng took a sip of coffee and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I will definitely get married before you."

Wang Runwen remained silent, then asked, "What do you mean?"

Yu Shuheng chuckled and did not respond.

Wang Runwen was so angry that he said, "Don't come over Yuandan. I can't serve you."

Yu Shuheng said: "Okay, I won't go to Shao City, I will wait for Li Heng in Changsha."

Wang Runwen lifted his hair with his right hand, "Do you think No. 1 will abandon Chen Zijin and his family and come here?"

Yu Shuheng turned the cup around and said, "You don't have to think so. This is a matter between us as teacher and student."

Wang Runwen used his fingertips to push down his glasses. “I am reminding someone that those in control are often confused. Your behavior is very dangerous.”

Yu Shuheng put down the coffee cup, stretched and said jokingly: "Runwen, I am running out of vinegar at home. Can you send me a bottle? The three-year-old vinegar is the best."

Wang Runwen spat out one word: "Get lost!"

Yu Shuheng held up two fingers: "This is the second time you swore at me."

Wang Runwen was stunned and said nothing.

Yu Shuheng said, "That's it. Try not to call me in the future, or we'll soon become just fake sisters."

Wang Runwen said nothing and ended the call directly.

Yu Shuheng looked at the red receiver in her hand, slowly put it back, sat quietly for two minutes, then picked up the coffee and went to the attic again.

It was late at night. There were no stars in the sky, and no lights in Lushan Village. In the pitch darkness, there was only the sound of rustling rain and gusts of cold wind.

But she didn't feel cold. She stood by the railing, her eyes drifting aimlessly for a while, and finally stopped on the small building No. 26.

Opposite door.

Li Heng did not sleep after Teacher Yu left.

In other words, I've been used to staying up late to read and write for the past six months, and I'm a little uncomfortable going to bed early when I suddenly have some free time. It feels like my biological clock hasn't arrived yet.

The longer I lay in bed, the more energetic I felt. However, the more uncomfortable I felt, until I had no choice but to get up and go to the attic to get some fresh air.

As soon as he came out, he noticed the figure opposite him.

She noticed him too.

After staring at each other silently for a long time, Li Heng returned to the living room, turned off the lights, and then went back to the attic again.

Faced with the little boy who hid herself in the dark, Yu Shuheng couldn't help laughing.

After pondering for a long time, she resolutely turned around, entered the living room, and walked towards the corridor entrance.

After a while, he appeared on the first floor, at the door of Building 26.

She didn't even knock on the door, but waited under the umbrella, holding a bottle of red wine and two special wine glasses in her hands.

5 minutes passed, no response.

10 minutes passed, still no response.

Until 15 minutes later, the door opened from the inside without any sign, revealing a very speechless face.

"Teacher, you really know how to have fun."

Yu Shuheng just smiled, handed him the red wine and glass in her hand, and began to bend down to change her shoes.

"Your gate is not locked."

"Ah."

"Unlocked?"

Yu Shuheng changed her shoes, reached into her pocket, took out a key and handed it to him.

Li Heng didn't move: "Go by yourself."

"I am a woman."

"I have no shortage of women."

"I am your teacher."

“I don’t lack teachers.”

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng's smile became even brighter, with a look of understanding in her eyes.

Li Heng avoided her gaze, grabbed the key from her hand, put on a pair of shoes casually, and ran into the rain.

Not long after, he came back and threw the key to her: "This is just the first time, never again!"

When he went upstairs, he couldn't help but ask, "It's late at night, teacher, aren't you afraid that I will be cruel and not open the door?"

Yu Shuheng walked forward and said, "Didn't you already open it?"

Li Heng: “.”

She asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Li Heng refused: "Drinking will cause trouble."

Yu Shuheng ignored him, poured two glasses for herself, and handed one to him:
"Little boy, calm down and you will feel cool."

After a confrontation, Li Heng took the red wine and said, "Don't be small, it doesn't sound good. I'm not small."

Yu Shuheng lowered her eyes, turned around, drank the red wine in one gulp, and then sat on the sofa.

Li Heng didn't follow her. After watching her silhouette for a while, he suddenly said, "Teacher, the lights in your living room are not turned off."

Yu Shuheng did not reply.

However, Li Heng realized her idea later. If the lights in the living room were turned off, he would not be able to see her going downstairs and leaving the hospital. She did it on purpose!

After a while, her soft voice broke the silence: "Come and drink with me."

Li Heng said: "You have really forgotten the pain after your wound healed."

Yu Shuheng poured herself a glass slowly, then put the red wine aside and motioned for him to come over.

After thinking for a while, Li Heng sat over and handed her the red wine glass in his hand.

Yu Shuheng glanced at him indifferently, took the glass unexpectedly, filled it with wine, and placed it in front of him.

She asked, "You're not sleeping so late, are you worried about something?"

Li Heng replied: "I can't sleep."

She nodded, gently swirled the red wine in her glass, and asked out of the blue, "Who do you want to marry among these three?"

Li Heng replied: "I want to marry both."

Yu Shuheng smiled.

At this point, the two fell silent again.

They each drank their red wine slowly, without clinking glasses or speaking.

Not until he finished a glass of wine did Yu Shuheng's unfocused eyes gradually focus on him.

Receiving her gaze, Li Heng's body tensed up for no reason, but he didn't move, nor did he show any intention of speaking.

After looking him up and down, Yu Shuheng suddenly said, "I will find a chance to explain our misunderstanding to Aunt Shen."

Li Heng thanked him.

Yu Shuheng laughed when she heard this, "What are you thanking me for?"

Li Heng said: "I am just being polite."

Yu Shuheng stared into his eyes and said strangely: "After I explain it clearly, if Aunt Shen still likes you, then that's your business."

Li Heng: “.”

He was surprised and asked, "Auntie, are you so unreasonable?"

In response to this question, Yu Shuheng showed no emotion and did not give any reply.

As they were talking, the two ran out of words and fell into silence for the second time.

This time she didn't try to break the deadlock, but poured herself another glass of wine.

After drinking, she got up and went to the second bedroom.

With a loud thunderous sound coming from the door, the two people were completely separated, and the world became quiet!

Petrus, damn! I wonder how many such fine wines Teacher Yu has at home?

Having finished drinking, he didn't hold back any longer and finished the remaining half bottle before going to sleep.

What's more, because of the alcohol he drank, he slept very well and didn't wake up until the early morning.

But it was because of his biological clock that when he woke up, it was just dawn outside.

The rain stopped, the heavy dusk disappeared, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.

The door to the second bedroom was still closed, and it seemed that Teacher Yu had not woken up yet.

Li Heng ignored her. After washing up, he trotted out of Lushan Village, planning to play basketball as usual and then buy breakfast.

However, just as he was about to run out of Lushan Village, he ran into two Mercedes-Benz cars head-on.

The first car stopped and half of his head popped out from the passenger seat. "Xiao Li, are you running to exercise?"

"Yes."

Li Heng exhaled and greeted, "Aunt Shen, good morning."

It was the first time he saw Aunt Shen's cool side, and she even brought bodyguards with her.

Shen Xin asked: "Is Shuheng up yet?"

Li Heng's mouth twitched. Damn it! Whatever you fear will come true!
Shen Xin thought he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she smiled amiably and said later: "Auntie is here to bring you food. I have something else to do later, so go and exercise."

"Hey, okay."

Li Heng didn't try to explain anything, but suddenly he had an intuition telling him that it seemed impossible to explain it clearly.

How does the saying go? Don't try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Aunt Shen, did she really misunderstand? Or was she just pretending to be asleep?

Or, both?
And then she took advantage of the situation?
If this is true, it will only make things worse.

Just as he was running towards the playground basketball court, Shen Xin walked to the end of the alley carrying two bags.

She first looked at the closed gate of Building No. 25, then turned and stared at the second floor of Building No. 26 in a daze.

Not long after, there was movement coming from the small building No. 27 next door. Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe walked out of the door. The two women planned to have breakfast.

They all knew Aunt Shen, but they had never spoken to her.

Because the other party usually comes in the morning or evening, once or twice a week at most, and rarely stays long, there is no opportunity for close contact between the two parties.

Seeing that the other party had been staring at Building 26, Mai Sui walked over and asked tentatively: "Auntie, are you looking for Teacher Yu?"

After hearing this, Shen Xin retracted his gaze and looked between the two women. He was amazed by Zhou Shihe's beauty and temperament.

I was also surprised that Mai Sui, at such a young age, could show such a gorgeous and yet elegant charm.

After looking around for a while, Shen Xin asked, "Do you know anyone in this small building?"

Mai Sui said, “We are classmates.”

Hearing this, Shen Xin looked at his watch, then handed the two bags in his hand to Mai Sui, "Miss, please give these to Xiao Li or Teacher Yu for me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Mai Sui didn't react for a moment: "Xiao Li?"

Shen Xin said: "Li Heng."

"Oh, okay." Mai Sui took the bag and responded.

Shen Xin smiled at the two girls and then left.

Looking at the departing figure, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe looked at each other for a while, and then their eyes fell on the iron lock of the gate of Building No. 25.

At this moment, many things are self-evident.

Zhou Shihe, who usually doesn't talk much, was the first to speak: "It might be a misunderstanding."

"Ah."

Mai Sui hummed, took out the key, and put the two bags on the first floor of Building 26.

When she entered the room, she immediately saw Teacher Yu's women's shoes, which she remembered very well because she often wore them. But she didn't think too much about it.

After all, this was not the first or second time that Teacher Yu had stayed overnight here, and he had even stayed with her for half a month.

Besides, Yu Shuheng is Li Heng's teacher, and this identity does not even leave room for misunderstanding. Mai Sui, who has always been relatively conservative, thinks so.

Of course, she didn't have any misunderstanding because of another prerequisite: Teacher Yu was the best friend of her high school English teacher.

During the three years of high school, Teacher Wang took care of Li Heng in the same way. During the summer vacation, she even accompanied him to travel across most of China. As a result, nothing that was rumored in high school happened, so she subconsciously trusted him very much.

In other words, rather than trusting the two teachers, it would be better to say that he completely trusts Li Heng.

For no reason, I just want to believe him!

...

No matter how early you come, as long as it's not raining, there will be people on the basketball court.

Li Heng warmed up and then joined in as usual to form a team to compete.

He is still a shooting guard, and is accustomed to using three-point shots to defeat the opponent.

Well, this is a bit too much. The opponent's midfielder is from the school team, and he is quite good. The two teams fought back and forth, but the score difference could not be widened.

But in the final moments, he was lucky and made a long three-pointer at the buzzer, which was a buzzer-beater!

"Clap clap clap!"

There was warm applause on the basketball court. As usual, the winning side shouted at the other side to buy soda.

Li Heng, who was sweating profusely, did not wait for the soda. He grabbed his coat on the railing and wiped his head with it, then walked towards the stone steps on the right. There was an acquaintance here, Wei Xiaozhu.

From a distance of four or five meters, he shouted: "How many laps did you run around the playground today?"

"8 laps." Wei Xiaozhu replied.

Li Heng turned around and found Dai Qing who was still running. "Which lap is that girl in?"

Wei Xiaozhu knew them all by heart, "It's the 14th lap."

"Amazing!"

Li Heng was really praising him. If he were to run on his own, he might not be able to reach this level.

Wei Xiaozhu seemed to guess what he was thinking and said, "Qingqing's father used to be a member of the national team. He has been trained by him since he was a child."

So that's why. No wonder such a thin body has so much endurance.

After he finished wiping, Wei Xiaozhu handed him a bottle of soda: "You must be thirsty, drink some soda."

The soda was still unopened, and Li Heng asked, "I drank it, what about you?"

Wei Xiaozhu took out another bottle from behind, "Qingqing and I can just drink one bottle."

Seeing this, Li Heng, who was really thirsty, stopped being pretentious and opened the bottle cap and started drinking.

After drinking, he asked, "I remember Lao Hu also ran laps with you guys some time ago, why hasn't he come recently?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, she said, "Qingqing is almost done with this lap. You should leave now, or she will keep running."

Li Heng looked at the figures on the playground again and realized that what she said made sense.

On weekdays, Dai Qing seemed a little afraid of seeing me. If I didn't leave, it would be difficult for others to come over or stop, so I could only keep running.

Li Heng raised the soda in his hand and said to Wei Xiaozhu, "Then I'm leaving. Thank you for the soda."

Then he didn't hesitate to give a compliment: "Your clothes look very nice today. They are very stylish."

Wei Xiaozhu rested his chin on his right hand and said thank you with a smile.

After leaving the playground, Li Heng raised his left wrist to take a look. He did not rush back to Lushan Village, but went outside the school first and made a phone call to the editorial office of "Harvest" magazine as he was familiar with the place.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

After waiting for a long time, the call finally got through, and the voice of editor Zou Ping came from the other end: "Hello, this is Harvest magazine."

"Old Zou, it's me." Li Heng introduced himself.

Hearing this haunting voice, Zou Ping subconsciously raised his head to look at the calendar on the wall, and then asked impatiently:
"Old Li, have you finished writing "Cultural Journey"?"

"Finished." Li Heng replied.

"Then I'll come over later."

"to make!"

The call was brief and to the point, lasting less than a minute, but all that needed to be said was said.

"Boss, how much is it?"

"piece."

"Give!"

Li Heng counted out one dollar, slapped it on the counter, and then went to buy breakfast.

He didn't know whether Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe had eaten breakfast. Relying on his wealth and stupidity, he bought four bags of breakfast at once, filling both hands, and then he slowly walked back.

By coincidence, I met the fake Taoist priest and Chen Siya at the entrance of the alley.

These two are quite interesting. Ever since they tasted the forbidden fruit, it seems as if their Ren and Du meridians have been opened. They no longer care about the opinions of outsiders and live together openly.

"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, good morning." Li Heng's smile was brighter than the sun.

"Hey! You kid, you are really rich and showy. Not long ago, Mai Sui and Shi He bought breakfast and brought it back." Lao Fu heard his teasing tone and directly replied, "You kid."

Hearing this, Li Heng asked, "Have you eaten?"

"No, give half to me and your sister Chen." They were all old acquaintances. Lao Fu casually stretched out his hand to ask for breakfast, not knowing what politeness was at all.

"Okay, here you go." Li Heng handed over the one in his left hand.

Chen Siya took a cup of tofu pudding and asked, "Did Shuheng sleep at your house last night?"

"Yeah." Some things happen so many times that they can't be hidden from people around you, so Li Heng didn't hide them at all.

Chen Siya half-jokingly said, "I saw Aunt Shen coming over today, and she kept staring at your small building for a long time.

She even brought you something. Does she treat you as her future son-in-law?"

In the past, when Chen Siya saw Shen Xin coming, she would go out to greet him immediately, but this morning she hid in Building 24 and did not come down.

The reason was that people's thinking was more conservative these days, and she and Lao Fu started living together before they officially got married. She was not used to facing the gazes of outsiders and seemed a little embarrassed.

When Li Heng mentioned this, he was very distressed. He was so arrogant that it was probably useless to explain. He immediately criticized the fake Taoist priest who was the instigator of the incident:

"I say, Lao Fu, Lao Fu, now the misunderstanding has come to this point, it's all your fault. You didn't go fishing in broad daylight, but insisted on going fishing at night. Tell me what kind of thing you did."

Old Fu took a bite of the bun and bared his teeth: "Don't be so ungrateful, kid. In this huge Shanghai market, there are many people rushing to ask Teacher Yu to sleep in their homes, and there are many big families who are thinking about Teacher Yu. Do you think anyone has succeeded?

Just pray for the good fortune, you are a man anyway, it's not like you're going to lose any skin, why are you being so pretentious?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes and complained, "Sister Chen, you have to take good care of this old man. This old man is not a good person. If he encounters such an opportunity in the future, he will probably climb up the ladder. Don't do that. You have to teach him a lesson!"

"That makes sense."

After saying this, Chen Siya pretended to take Lao Fu's ear and walked away.

Lao Fu was as obedient as a pug, laughing there.

After walking about 10 meters away, Chen Siya turned around and said, "Come and practice the piano more often when you have time."

"to make."

When I got home, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe were not there either.

Even Teacher Yu was nowhere to be seen.

After searching for a while, he found a note on the coffee table, with the handwriting of Mai Sui in it.

It says: We are going to the library, and breakfast is being kept warm in the steamer below.

Library? What a distant name. I haven't been there in such a long time.

Comrade Mai Sui, last time you said you would call me along, but I didn’t expect you left me behind again.

Muttering to himself, he crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then ate his breakfast in peace.

The red wine bottle was still there, on the coffee table, like a waiting stone, staring at him. When Li Heng saw it, he thought of Teacher Yu and her daughter, and immediately reached out and knocked on it in frustration.

Grandma is a bitch!
Don’t think that you are a wealthy and powerful person and cannot be touched, but I can still give you a hit from behind.

After 10am.

Li Heng, who was lying on the desk making a list of books to buy, was awakened by shouting downstairs.

"Old Li! Old Li!"

This name is unique. Apart from a few people in dormitory 325, only editor Zou Ping calls him that.

"Hey, here we come!"

Li Heng went to the window and answered, then quickly rushed downstairs.

Outside the door was not only editor Zou Ping, but also editor-in-chief Liao Hua. He was his god of wealth and he could not neglect him.

After opening the door, Li Heng greeted them warmly: "Uncle Liao, Old Zou, long time no see."

"I wanted to come over, but I was afraid to disturb you. Today, I heard from Xiao Zou that you had finished writing, so I followed him here immediately."

Editor-in-Chief Liao was not arrogant at all when facing him. He spoke very kindly and brought some things in his hand. "These are some mountain products from my hometown, venison and roe deer meat. You can try them."

"Wow! This is a good stuff. Did Uncle Liao go back to his hometown?" Li Heng took the bag and couldn't help but open it and take a look, his face lit up with joy.

"I went back a few days ago for my grandfather's 70th birthday." Editor-in-Chief Liao is from Heilongjiang, where he has no shortage of mountain products.

"The old man is so lucky."

Li Heng said this and invited the two to the study on the second floor and made them two cups of hot tea.

Then he didn't waste any more time, unlocked the drawer, took out all the manuscripts of "Cultural Journey" and placed them in front of them:

"The book has 42 chapters in total, the rest are all here."

Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes lit up, he took a big sip of tea, put down the teacup and began to read the book impatiently.

Zouping did the same and got down to business.

For the following time, the study fell into absolute silence, with only the occasional sound of pages turning and Li Heng writing.

There were two reviewers and one was making a book list. They ignored each other and no one disturbed anyone.

About an hour later, Editor-in-Chief Liao took off his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, and praised:

"Good! Good! I didn't expect that I would have the honor of witnessing two classics in one year."

Which two?
Of course it’s “To Live” and “Cultural Journey”!

Two "good"s in a row, a classic sentence, fully expresses Editor-in-Chief Liao's love, respect and admiration for "Cultural Journey"!

Li Heng was very satisfied with Editor-in-Chief Liao's intoxicated expression, and even a little bit proud of it, but his face remained calm and steady.

When Editor-in-Chief Liao and Zou Ping saw this, they secretly sighed: December is indeed talented, and he is mature beyond his years, which is rare.

With Editor-in-Chief Liao as his leader, Zouping tactfully chose not to say much. He just kept flipping through the manuscripts with his fingers, his mind filled with dreams of becoming a gold medal editor.

Well, now being a gold medal editor is no longer a dream.

Last month, he attended an industry conference on behalf of Harvest Magazine. Wow! Many high-ranking people in the past took the initiative to greet him. Not only did he move his seat from the back to the front, but the people at the conference also politely called him Mr. Zou. Their attitude was so good! It was unprecedented. He was so satisfied!

In the past six years, no one paid attention to me. I was a nobody in the literary world. I never expected that I would meet a great person like Li Heng. I finally made it. My status in the industry has risen sharply, making others envious! I am jealous!
Wow! It’s almost floating!

Every time at this time, Zou Ping would be thankful that when other magazines were secretly trying to poach his employees, he kept his original intention and did not leave Harvest magazine or Li Heng.

Now he often reminds himself that Li Heng is his big brother and his benefactor, and he must not have any second thoughts and must not forget his roots.

Putting down the manuscript in his hand and calming himself down, Editor-in-Chief Liao put on his glasses again and got down to business: "Very good, we will publish it in this December issue."

It is already December 12st. In fact, Harvest Magazine has been waiting for news of his completion, which has caused the typesetting to be delayed again and again, but they dare not urge him to do so.

Because Mr. Ba had instructed that "Cultural Journey" had been brilliant for more than half a year, and the finishing work was very important and should not be disturbed.

The outside world is looking forward to "A Cultural Journey" very much, and even many news media have already written articles praising it in advance, just waiting for the final chapter of this masterpiece to come out.

A novel that has truly lived up to the expectations of everyone!
Even within Harvest, people are waiting for the sales records of the 12 issues once they are published.

The October issue broke 10 million copies.

Can this issue break 300 million copies?

Everyone is waiting and expecting! Looking forward to the arrival of a brand new record.
