1987 My Era

Chapter 324, Mai Sui confesses (please subscribe!)

How likely are you to win?

Xiao Han has never believed in fate. She believes that everything depends on human efforts.

It is precisely because she believes that everything depends on human effort that she has been able to persist in her secret love.

If she believed in fate, she should have given up long ago over the years and should have considered Chen Zijin as his destined woman.

Confronted with each other, Xiao Han said bitterly: "If I don't succeed, I will die. I have given him everything. I can only be his wife."

Xiao Qing was stunned. She could hear confidence and determination from her sister's words! She could hear the momentum of burning her boats and forging ahead!
She was a little dazed for a moment, feeling that this was not the sister she knew, but she felt more like the sister she knew.

She really wanted to ask: What if he ends up marrying someone else in the future? What would you do then?
Will you die for him?
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't say them because she couldn't bear it.

He was unwilling to attack his sister who was running towards the light for love.

After a while, Xiao Qing asked, "How does he treat you?"

Xiao Han needed her sister's support. She didn't lie here, "He went to Shanghai to study at university just for me."

Xiao Qing did not doubt the truth of this statement. Because with Li Heng's status, every university would be vying for him, including the two top universities.

While Chen Zijin was in the capital, he chose to go to the city where his sister lived. This seemed to be explainable and reasonable.

But Xiao Qing needed convincing evidence, "a reason to convince my sister."

Xiao Han said: "The grey scarf he wore during the Spring Festival Gala was given to him by me."

After hearing this, Xiao Qing recalled that her mother Wei Shiman had complained that Li Heng was dressed very fashionably except for the gray scarf around his neck which looked a little bit out of place.

She suddenly smiled: "So you were so active when watching the Spring Festival Gala, I guess you were waiting for him to appear, right?"

Xiao Han agreed.

Xiao Qing sighed: "Then have you ever thought about this problem? You and Chen Zijin are both in Qianzhen, only ten miles away. How will he deal with your relationship with Chen Zijin in the future? If mom knew about this, she would probably be so angry that she would bleed."

Xiao Han shrank his neck and said sympathetically: "The winner takes it all. I don't care about the humiliating process, I just want the result."

This reminded Xiao Qing of the scandal that Li Heng had caused two years ago. He once became the person with the worst reputation in the area, but what about now?

Oh! He is already the most glorious and dazzling person in the town. Everyone who sees him must greet him politely. Who dares to put on airs when seeing him?

Even his father, Xiao Hai, the town secretary, stood up from his seat when he saw Li Heng greet him. This is momentum! This is a man's ability!

Looking at the beautiful sister in front of her, Xiao Qing believed that few boys in the world would be willing to abandon this face. This is an incomparable advantage and bargaining chip.

After thinking for a long time, she said, "Well, I will trust you this time. If you feel tired or incapable of doing it in the future, just stop in time."

"it is good."

Xiao Han said yes, but his eyes were filled with emotion and determination.

After another moment of silence, Xiao Qing stood up and held her sister's arm. "Let's go. Sister is assigned to serve dishes today. Let's go over and take a look."

"Ah."

Xiao Han nodded, and the two sisters left the Xiao family and walked towards the Wei family diagonally opposite.

As soon as they crossed the road, the two sisters met Li Heng, who first looked at Xiao Qing and then at Xiao Han.

After they looked at each other, Xiao Qing let go of her sister and said, "You go first. I'll talk to him."

Xiao Han looked worried.

Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I won't skin him alive."

Xiao Han smiled miserably, looked at Li Heng again, and left.

As soon as her sister left, Xiao Qing walked straight up to Li Heng, glanced at the second floor and said, "It seems you have figured it out, right?"

Li Heng nodded.

Xiao Qing asked: "Do you like Xiao Han?"

Li Heng nodded again: "I like it."

Hearing the word "like", Xiao Qing recalled the scene she had seen before, the scene where her sister hugged his waist and kissed him, and she felt very complicated. If her sister hadn't written in her notebook that she liked the man in front of her very much, she would have said some harsh words.

But since she had agreed to accommodate her sister this time, Xiao Qing did not say anything to embarrass the other party. She stared at Li Heng's eyes for a while and said, "I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer me sincerely."

Li Heng said: "You say."

Xiao Qing glanced at Wei Shiman who was looking over from a distance and asked briefly:
"Why did you choose to study in Shanghai instead of Beijing? Was it because Harvest Magazine and Mr. Ba were in Shanghai?"

Li Heng shook his head, "No, it's for Xiao Han."

Her answer was consistent with her sister's, proving that her sister was not fooling her.

Xiao Qing felt better: "I hope you won't let Hanhan down in the future. Also, I'll give you a piece of advice. Before you decide to marry Hanhan, it's best not to let my parents know, and don't let anyone else know about it, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

She originally wanted to say, "My mother will fight you to the death," but she felt that this was inappropriate, so she changed it to "It will be very troublesome."

Li Heng said nothing because he believed it.

Xiao Qing left without interfering too much with his life.

She didn't have high expectations for her sister and Li Heng to be together in the future, only 4% at most.

In her opinion, her sister's greatest asset is that she is beautiful and charming enough. But that's not all.

Chen Zijin is also very pretty. To say that she is one in a million is a very conservative approach. Moreover, the Chen family is more powerful than the Xiao family. Their authority is enough to offset any difference in beauty.

Besides, there are other women out there who are eyeing Li Heng, which is an unknown factor that is difficult to predict.

Considering the above factors, Xiao Qing felt that a 4% winning rate might be too high.

But she didn't stop her sister.

Who has never been young?
How difficult is it to meet someone you truly love?

Her sister has the freedom to pursue love, and she doesn't want to break her fairy-tale fantasy.

Besides, having said that, facing such an outstanding man, a 4% probability is not low, so you can give it a try.

Xiao Qing just told Li Heng not to expand the scope of people who knew about this in order to protect her sister.

Men of letters have been romantic since ancient times, and having a few women with them might not only not be a scandal, but also a good story, but that would be hard for my sister.

So, she was actually protecting her sister's reputation.

Seeing her eldest daughter coming over, Wei Shiman asked curiously, "Qingbao, do you know Li Heng?"

Xiao Qing had already thought of an excuse: "I took a bus to Shao City before, and we happened to sit in the same row."

Wei Shiman had no doubts about this. There were only a few buses departing from Qianzhen every day, so it was normal to meet them by chance.

Wei Shiman half-jokingly said: "It would be great if your sister could handle interpersonal relationships as well as you do. Your sister is very proud and she always ignores Li Heng whenever she sees him.

I was thinking that your sister is probably the only one in Qianzhen who doesn’t like Li Heng.”

Don't you like it? They had just kissed for more than 20 minutes upstairs. Xiao Qing smiled and said:
"If you don't like him, then don't like him. Li Heng is a genius, but you don't have to curry favor with him."

Wei Shiman handed the tea to her eldest daughter: "Who said it wasn't true? On this point, I admire your sister's backbone."

The groom was from Liuduzhai, which was quite far in those days when transportation was inconvenient. In order to allow the man to arrive home before noon, the wedding banquet started early.

As the only uncle, Li Jianguo had the most power and was invited to sit in the first seat.

Li Heng had a high social status and was also invited to sit in the seat of honor.

He actually didn't want to go at all because he had to drink, but he was dragged there.

Also sitting there were Secretary Xiao Hai and several other highly respected people.

When everyone at the table was toasting the groom, Li Heng picked up the glass and said to Xiao Hai, "Uncle Xiao, let's have a drink."

"Oh, okay, okay." Xiao Hai was a little surprised.

Xiao Hai originally thought that Li Heng, who became famous at a young age, would be difficult to get along with. In addition, his daughter seemed to have a bad relationship with him. Xiao Hai never thought that Li Heng would take the initiative to look for him for a drink.

However, people live by their reputation, and it is a huge honor for a legendary writer like Li Heng to drink with anyone. Xiao Hai did not dare to be careless and clinked glasses with him in a very friendly manner.

After a glass of wine and a chat, Li Heng's image in Xiao Hai's mind changed drastically.

When they got home, Wei Shiman asked her husband, "I saw you and Li Heng had a good chat today. You talked for a long time. How was it?"

Is she asking what kind of person he is?
There is no other way. Li Heng is too famous and is the most popular person at the scene. To a certain extent, people invite the groom to drink as a gesture of respect. If Li Heng invites anyone to drink, they have to stand up and toast. This is status!
So, when Wei Shiman saw that the first person Li Heng chose to drink with was her husband, she felt quite happy and asked this question.

The two sisters Xiao Han and Xiao Qing who were sitting on the sofa next to them also looked over.

Xiao Hai drank some tea to sober up, and after careful consideration, he gave an objective evaluation: "He is very knowledgeable. In many places, I can't keep up with his thinking. He is indeed a famous writer.

He speaks with reason and evidence, is able to read other people's expressions, and has a good sense of propriety. It's a pity that he didn't go into politics. He is a good candidate for politics."

The words may seem plain, but they can make Xiao Hai feel inferior to him, so the evaluation can be said to be very high.

Wei Shiman said: "So, the Chen family made a lot of money?"

Xiao Hai nodded: "I heard that Chen Caiwang and his son, who are now in charge of the Chen family, have already recognized Li Heng, and they even went to the Li family for dinner and drinks on the fourth day of the New Year."

Chen Caiwang is Mr. Chen, grandfather of Chen Zijin.

Wei Shiman gossiped and asked, "Who told you this news?"

Xiao Hai said, "It was passed down by the eldest branch of the Chen family themselves."

Although the outside world didn't spread the news of the breakup between the Chen and Li families, people with a keen eye could still detect something unusual. After all, at the beginning of last year, Chen's grandmother passed away, and Chen Zijin didn't come back. This was an unusual signal.

At that time, many people speculated that the Chen and Li families might not be as harmonious as they imagined.

Otherwise, with such a big scandal happening, simply getting the two young ones engaged would be enough to shut everyone up.

But at this critical juncture, the Chen family disappeared and moved to the capital, putting all the pressure of public opinion on the Li family.

As a person within the system, Xiao Hai was naturally very thoughtful. He immediately guessed that the two families must be having an unpleasantness, but they just didn't make it public due to some reasons.

After listening to her parents talking about Li Heng and the Chen family, Xiao Qing deliberately observed her younger sister for a while and found that she was extremely calm, as if everything was under control.

After the banquet, grandma, Li Jianguo and his wife, my second aunt and eldest aunt’s families, and my great-grandfather’s family all went to the groom’s house, commonly known as seeing off the bride.

Li Heng and Li Lan did not go.

Li Lan went home to feed the pigs and take care of the chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock, while Li Heng went home to write.

Writing is a big deal, and everyone knows that it is Li Heng's livelihood, and no one dares to distract him from this matter.

Even his eldest aunt and uncle, when they learned that he was creating a new literary work, insisted on keeping him at home and not letting him go to see the bride, for fear that he would be delayed.

Just like my eldest aunt said domineeringly: "We are a family, we can visit relatives at any time, but writing relies on inspiration, it can't be taken lightly, even the king of kings has to stand aside."

In this way, Li Heng followed his second sister back to Shangwan Village.

Li Lan asked, "We are leaving for the capital tomorrow morning. Are you leaving tomorrow too?"

Li Heng is right.

Li Lan asked: "Didn't you say you had a flight ticket for the eighth day of the first lunar month? Where are we going to rest tomorrow?"

Li Heng replied: "As long as you have money, you can go anywhere in the world. How dare you ask such a childish question?"

Li Lan asked, "You're not going to Song Yu's house, are you?"

Li Heng replied: "Song Yu is in Dongting Lake."

Li Lan looked at him in deep thought for a while, and suddenly her expression became strange: "You won't go to teacher Wang Runwen's house tomorrow night, right?"

Li Heng was speechless: "What's that expression on your face?"

Li Lan put her hands behind her back, paced and said seriously: "Brother, forget about Xiao Han and Song Yu, after all, they are rare beauties. If I were a man and had the ability to grab them, I would definitely not let any of them go.

But as for what the teacher said, you should listen to your second sister's advice and not get involved.

Especially this teacher Wang Runwen, who has such a sexy body. If you get entangled with her, you will lose at least ten pounds a year. "

Li Heng rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, go away. Mind your own business and stop worrying about mine."

After that, he didn't want to say more about this issue, so he asked, "By the way, what did Teacher Yu say to my mother last time in Beijing?
Did it cause our mother's attitude to change immediately, and she even accepted such a valuable ginseng?"

Li Lan was confused: "You don't know it yourself?"

Li Heng shook his head.

Li Lan said: "Mom didn't tell me. I asked her several times, but she told me not to ask. I thought you slept with Teacher Yu, so she took the ginseng."

Seeing that his second sister's expression did not seem fake, Li Heng was full of doubts: "I have said everything, I am innocent with Teacher Yu, so what did I tell mom?"

"You ask me? Who should I ask? Or you can wait a little longer and I will tell you after I get the information out of you." Li Lan said.

Hearing this, Li Heng did not retreat. He walked out of the gate and went towards Quxinyan's house.

As for what Teacher Yu actually said, he planned to ask Comrade Tian Run'e in person.

"Lao Yong! Lao Yong!"

As soon as he reached the door, he shouted loudly.

"Uncle Heng! Damn it! I thought you were gone. I scolded you for a long time at home this morning." Zhang Zhiyong rushed out of the door with a smug look on his face and gave him a big hug.

Li Heng looked at me unkindly, "How did you scold me at home?"

"Hey, do you think I'm a fool? I'll tell you?" Zhang Zhiyong pulled him into the house, "We are having lunch, drink with me."

"Uncle Zhang." After entering the door, Li Heng greeted Zhang Zhiyong's father.

Father Zhang stood up and handed him a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks, then poured him a bowl of liquor: "Come on, today's food is good, let's drink together."

"it is good."

When Li Heng was a child, he often ate and drank at Zhang's house. He was used to it and didn't need to be polite to them.

Three grown men drinking, let’s drink three rounds first.

Finally, Li Heng explained his purpose, "Lao Yong, I plan to leave for school tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

The foolish man yelled: "Damn! Going to fight ghosts so early?"

Li Heng told him about a teacher's marriage at school. "There's nothing we can do. We've already agreed to it. What are you going to do?"

The fool was ready to make a move, but finally said weakly: "You go, the old man will come out after the Lantern Festival."

Zhang's father interjected, "During the Lantern Festival, her lover will come back, and he will want to take a look at him."

This "her mistress" refers to Liu Chunhua.

But it always sounded weird when these words came from Zhang's father's mouth.

However, considering that Zhang's father was not a decent person, his mother thought it was natural.

The fool almost jumped up and cursed incoherently: "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will tell the widow's son that you slept with his mother?"

This widow refers to the widow Liao next door.

Zhang's father rolled his eyes, took a sip of wine, put a cigarette in his mouth, and said loudly: "Do you still need to sue me? Who in the village doesn't know that I have an affair with his mother?"

"Fuck you! How can you be so shameless?" Before Zhang Zhiyong could finish his excited words, he was slapped on the back of his head by his father.

Zhang's father cursed: "You are weak as a tapeworm outside, and you can't even handle Liu Chunhua. At home, you are lawless. How could I give birth to a coward like you? You are a disgrace."

Li Heng: “.”

Damn it! Every time I come to Zhang's house for dinner, I always hear all kinds of weird remarks.

He interrupted and asked, "Lao Yong, why isn't your mother at home?"

Zhang Zhiyong touched the back of his head which was in pain: "She is at my grandmother's house. My eldest cousin is going to get engaged soon, so he is not in a hurry to come back."

There weren't many people at this dinner, but it was very lively. Li Heng almost laughed his stomach off listening to the father and son bickering.

In the afternoon, Li Heng read and wrote at home, and did not put down his pen until after 7 o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, he asked his second sister, "Are mom and dad going to stay overnight in Liuduzhai today?"

Li Lan peeked out of the door and said, "That should be it. Liuduzhai is so far away, it will take a long time to go back and forth. I guess I won't be back until tomorrow."

Li Heng said: "Then I won't wait for them tomorrow. I have to leave early."

"You go your own way. We are on different paths anyway." Li Lan said, "Remember to lend me money. Don't forget, I am still waiting for the money to open a shop."

"I know. I'll remit the money to you when I arrive in Shanghai," Li Heng promised.

That night, the house was rather quiet, and his mind was clearer, so he didn't go to bed until after midnight. He made good progress, writing a little over 10000 words in total.

There are only about two thousand words left to complete Chapter 5 of "White Deer Plain".

At about 5 o'clock the next morning, Li Lan knocked on the door on time, "Brother, get up, the food is ready. Don't you have to catch the early bus? Hurry up and eat."

"Okay, get up right away." Li Heng responded in a daze, and vaguely heard Zou Jiao's voice outside the door.

I got dressed, got out of bed, opened the door, and sure enough, I saw Zou Jiao.

He asked, "Lao Jiao, why are you here?"

Zou Jiao said: "I am going to the capital with Sister Lanlan today."

Li Heng glanced at the sky outside and said, "Then you don't have to come so early."

Li Lan said, "She and I will take you to the cemetery later."

"Is that so? Then thank Comrade Zou Jiao." After Li Heng washed up, the three of them started to eat breakfast.

At 5:20, Li Heng walked out of the house and started for Shao City.

On the way, he asked Zou Jiao: "Where does your sister work? I haven't seen her for several years."

Her younger sister was also a playmate who grew up together, but the two sisters had terrible grades and only went to junior high school.

Zou Jiao said: "She is at my grandmother's house in Huaihua, learning tailoring."

After a pause, she continued, "She found a boyfriend over there through an introduction, and they might get married by the end of the year."

"So early?"

"Hmm."

Li Heng had no impression of her sister at all, as if he had only seen her a few times since he grew up in his previous life.

As they talked and chatted, the three of them arrived in town.

Li Lan said that she had only sent it to the cemetery, but she actually sent it to the old train station.

"That's it, I'm getting on the bus. Be careful when you go back." Just in time for the first bus to depart, Li Heng exchanged a few words with the two girls and quickly got on the bus.

Li Lan said nothing, just stood by the roadside and watched the car go away.

Zou Jiao asked: "Sister Lanlan, are you reluctant to leave?"

Li Lan turned around and walked back: "Why are you reluctant?"

Zou Jiao asked: "Ah? Isn't he your brother?"

Li Lan curled her lips: "He's just a younger brother, he's another man." Knowing how lustful her younger brother was, she always felt that there should be a woman waiting for him in Shao City.

There were only about ten people on the morning bus. No one talked much and everyone sat separately.

As usual, in order to avoid being recognized by others, Li Heng, who wanted to be quiet, covered half of his face with a scarf and squinted all the way to Shaoshui Bridge.

"Master, step on me!"

"brake!"

The car stopped and Li Heng picked up his luggage and got out quickly.

At this time, the woman sitting in the same row with him seemed to recognize him. This was Li Heng who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. Instantly, she leaned her head out of the window and watched Li Heng fly down the Shaoshui Bridge and head towards No. 1 Middle School.

He did not go to Shao No. 1 Middle School first, but went to the Teachers College first. As a result, the door of the Song family was closed and had not opened yet.

Not giving up, he took the time to find a phone number and called the Song family in Dongting Lake, but it was the Song family's grandmother who answered the call.

"Hello, who is it?"

Recognizing the other party's voice, Li Heng introduced himself: "Grandma, Happy New Year! I am Li Heng. Is Song Yu home?"

"Li Heng?"

Grandma took a while to react: "Song Yu went to pay New Year's greetings and visit relatives at her aunt's house."

Li Heng felt a little lost, and for a moment, he wanted to run to Dongting Lake regardless of anything.

He then asked, "Grandma, is there a phone number at my aunt's house?"

"No, they went to my uncle's hometown, which is not in the city, and there is no telephone installed at home." Grandma informed.

He didn't even know how he hung up the phone, he was very depressed.

The Normal College is not far from Shao No. 1 Middle School. When walking towards the middle school, he met several familiar teachers on the road and said Happy New Year all the way. He walked through the message room into the school and soon appeared on the third floor of the teachers' family building.

I don’t know if the English teacher is at home today?

While Li Heng was thinking this, he reached out and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who?"

After a few sounds, footsteps were heard from inside, followed by a sexy questioning voice.

"Teacher, it's me."

"who are you?"

Li Heng was speechless. Could it be that he couldn't even recognize his voice? Was he doing it on purpose?
He called out, "Li Heng."

With a creak, the door opened, revealing the English teacher with a half-smile on his face.

They faced each other across the door. Later, Li Heng stepped in and asked, "Teacher, are you welcome?"

The English teacher didn't answer, closed the door, and then bent down to get him a shoe to change.

After a while, she adjusted her glasses and asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Heng said: "I came to see you specially."

The English teacher seemed to see through him immediately and chuckled: "Haha, this is an alternative plan. I guess you will go to the teachers' college first."

This is the fact, but he would never admit it.

He opened his mouth and said, "No."

The English teacher stared into his eyes, turned around and walked into the house. "It's noon now, are you hungry?"

Li Heng followed behind: "Not too hungry."

The English teacher said, "If you're not too hungry, I'll take you out to eat later. I don't feel like cooking."

"Ah? You don't even cook a meal yourself when I come here." Li Heng pretended to be dissatisfied.

The English teacher turned around and shook her hair. "Who are you to me? Why should I cook for you?"

They stared at each other, and Li Heng said, "Teacher, if you are like this, I will leave."

The English teacher didn't tolerate him at all and pointed to the door, "Please get out!"

Li Heng: “.”

The English teacher curled his lips and poured him a cup of tea.

After taking the tea, Li Heng sat on the sofa skillfully, looked around and said, "Teacher, there is no change here."

"What change do I need? I'm used to being alone." The English teacher sat opposite him with his legs crossed.

After he had a few sips of tea, she asked, "When are you leaving?"

Li Heng replied, "We will leave tomorrow morning."

The English teacher asked, "Are you alone?"

Li Heng said: "There are also wheat ears."

The English teacher sneered.

Li Heng sighed: "Why do we either yell at each other or sneer at each other when we meet? When did we become so unfamiliar with each other?"

The English teacher answered the question irrelevantly: "I heard that you were going to Bailuyuan to experience life some time ago?"

"Well, Teacher Yu told you, right?" Li Heng asked.

The English teacher said nothing, but kept his eyes on him, a little absent-minded for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Heng did not disturb her thoughts. He drank the tea in the cup one sip at a time. Feeling it was not enough, he stood up and poured another half cup.

The English teacher followed his figure with her eyes, and after a while asked, "Did you catch up with Xiao Han?"

"almost."

"What's soon?"

"That's pretty much it."

The English teacher mocked: "As expected of a great writer, he has all the tricks to play with women."

"Teacher, why don't you resign and travel with me to Bailuyuan?" Li Heng responded sharply.

"Get out of here!" the English teacher started scolding.

Hearing the familiar “Get lost”, he was not surprised at all, and smiled and said, “I might stay there for a month or so.”

The English teacher lifted her hair and said, "Shuheng has already told me."

At this point, the two looked at each other, suddenly stopped talking, and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, she saw his eyes moving from top to bottom and accidentally fell on her heart. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly kicked him sideways.

Li Heng dodged subconsciously, and most of the boiling water in the cup spilled out and all over the floor.

"If you keep glancing at me, I'll dig out your eyes," the English teacher threatened.

Li Heng's face twitched, and he stood up and said, "Forget it, I can't afford your lunch, I'm leaving."

The English teacher looked at him coldly until he actually opened the door, changed his shoes and was about to leave. Then he stood up, picked up the key and followed him out the door.

When the two went down to the first floor, they met Sun Manning's mother, who was carrying a basket of fresh vegetables.

"Hey, Li Heng, are you here to see Teacher Runwen?"

"Yes, Happy New Year, Auntie!"

"Happy New Year, are you leaving?"

"No, I went out to eat with the teacher."

"It's New Year's Day, why go out? Come on, come to our house. I'm going to cook." Sun Manning's mother had always gotten along very well with Wang Runwen, and at this moment she seemed very hospitable. She pulled the two of them back to the third floor.

Hearing the noise at the door, Sun Manning, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, turned her head and looked over, and immediately shouted, "Ah! Li Heng, why are you here?"

"I'm going to school tomorrow, and I want to see my English teacher and you too."

Li Heng said, greeting Principal Sun: "Principal Sun, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Principal Sun, who was a little nearsighted, picked up his glasses from the coffee table and put them on. He shook hands with him with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Please take a seat. I'll go cook."

Sun Manning glanced at Wang Runwen, and suddenly called to his father who was about to go to the kitchen: "Dad, put more rice in, Mai Sui will be here soon."

"Okay, got it."

Principal Sun's family has long been very familiar with their daughter's best friend Mai Sui, so of course they would not have any objections.

After the English teacher and Li Heng sat down, Sun Manning chatted with them for a while, and then found a time to call Mai Sui's grandmother's house.

It’s a pity that the call didn’t go through after three attempts.

Sun Manning was puzzled and muttered to herself, "He hasn't come yet at this time. Could it be that Mai Sui forgot about the appointment with me?"

Li Heng asked: "Where is Mai Sui now?"

"Where else could it be? Aren't you going to Shanghai tomorrow? Of course I came to Shaoxing. I came here this morning and am at her grandmother's house." Sun Manning said.

After calling again, she still couldn't get through. Sun Manning put down the receiver and said to Li Heng:

"How about you accompany me to visit her grandmother's house? It's not too far anyway, just near the South City Park."

Li Heng thought for a moment and asked the English teacher, "Teacher, let's go for a walk together?"

The English teacher was chatting with Sun's mother and waved her hand to refuse: "We just went to Hongqi Road this morning. You two go. The teacher is tired and doesn't want to move."

Hearing this, Li Heng did not force it and followed Sun Manning out of No. 1 Middle School.

As soon as they walked out of No. 1 Middle School, Sun Manning, who had been silent in front of them, suddenly stopped and asked, "Li Heng, are you having an affair with your English teacher?"

Li Heng frowned: "This is not the first time you have asked this question."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't take the past as the present, and don't take the present as the past. When I saw my English teacher for the first time today, my heart skipped a beat." Sun Manning said.

Li Heng said: "So you want to ask Mai Sui to come over?"

Sun Manning did not hide it: "Yes, I did it on purpose. You have already harmed my two best friends. If you harm my teacher again, will I still be alive? Otherwise, you will harm me too!!!"

She said this with gritted teeth!
Li Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He told her about his trip to the Teachers College. "Since it's on the way, of course I have to come and see my English teacher. She has helped me a lot before."

When Sun Manning heard that he was going to look for Song Yu, she believed it instantly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, everyone guessed it right, you still love Song Yu the most."

"Everyone? Who else?" Li Heng asked.

"It's just me, Mai Sui, and Chen Lijun. Who else could it be?" said Sun Manning.

Li Heng asked: "Did Chen Lijun also know about this?"

"Who do you think you can hide your thoughts from? You went to the capital several times and looked for Chen Zijin and Song Yu at the same time. Do you really think Li Jun is a fool?" Sun Manning complained.

Li Heng understood, "Did you have a party during the winter vacation?"

Sun Manning said: "Chen Lijun stayed at my house for five days and at Mai Sui's house for three days. During those days, we went to the streets together every day."

As they were talking, the two of them walked past the Normal College and went straight to the South City Park through the back door of the college.

Chengnan Park is actually a small hill. Fortunately, it is located in the center of Shaoxing City, which is well connected.

Unexpectedly, the park was very lively on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. On the top of the mountain, there were not only elderly people beating gongs and drums, humming and humming, but also the hawking and shouting of peddlers, making it a perfect place for leisure activities and setting up stalls.

Arriving at the entrance of Chengnan Park, Sun Manning pointed in a direction and asked him, "That's Grandma Mai Sui's house. Are you going to wait for me here, or will you come with me?"

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go for a walk near the entrance. You can come back soon."

"Okay, then don't go too far, or you won't find me later."

"Yeah, I know."

Sun Manning crossed the road and left.

Li Heng did not wait there, but walked around with a curious look.

To be honest, he had been to Chengnan Park many times during his three years in high school and could find the way with his eyes closed, but this was his first time there during the Spring Festival.

First he watched the elderly people playing chess, then watched the aunties performing flower drum opera. Just when he was about to watch the lantern riddles, he suddenly caught sight of a person.

A very familiar person, Wheat Ear.

I haven't seen this girl for a month or so, and I can see that she has changed a lot. She seems to be even more charming and attractive. Her every word and action exudes a strong feminine charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away and intoxicated.

Just when Li Heng walked over from behind to shout, he found that there was a boy standing next to her.

At this time, the boy was holding two movie tickets in his hand, and he said to Mai Sui a little stiffly:

"Mai Sui, this is the movie ticket I bought with great difficulty. Let's go to the movies together."

Mai Sui's attention was not on the boy, but on an old lady singing Huagu Opera in the crowd. Li Heng followed her line of sight and recognized that the old lady was Mai Sui's aunt.

I think she came out with her aunt.

Seeing that Mai Sui was indifferent, the boy did not give up and mustered up the courage to speak again: "Mai"

But this time Mai Sui interrupted the other person and said, "Chen Yong, please go. I won't go to the movies with you. Don't waste your time in the future."

Seeing the other person standing still and the boy's pleading eyes, Mai Sui thought for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, I have someone I like."

The boy was a little excited and a little sad. He struggled for a while, half bent over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Can you tell me who it is? I don't believe there is anyone in this world who is worthy of you!"

Mai Sui ignored the other person, but in order to make the other person give up completely, she said expressionlessly: "He is my high school classmate. I liked him at first sight."

Before she could finish saying "he", Mai Sui suddenly found that her right wrist was grabbed by someone. When she raised her head to open her mouth, a figure that she had been dreaming about appeared in her sight with surprise.

She couldn't believe it.

Her eyes, which had just been devoid of any emotion, were instantly filled with colorful colors, and a smile appeared on her face, like the warm sunshine in spring.

Without saying anything, Li Heng walked forward. She stood up and followed him silently.

She did not struggle, allowing Li Heng to hold her wrist tightly, and then she passed through the crowd and disappeared into the grove in the east.

The boy holding two movie tickets looked at this scene, somewhat dazed. No! Not dazed, but completely stunned! He stood there blankly, like a living fossil!

The boy didn't see Li Heng's face clearly, but from just a silhouette, he knew that he was very handsome! He was incomparable to him.

Is this the person Mai Sui likes? The boy turned around and staggered away as if he had lost his soul.

After entering the grove, Li Heng originally wanted to let her go, but for some unknown reason he did not let her go.

Just keep walking forward, forward, and follow the path towards the lush forest on the mountainside.

The two of them kept holding hands, neither letting go and the other not saying a word to remind each other, in a tacit understanding, fearing that they would have to separate after stopping.

After a long time, Li Heng came to an empty corner and finally stopped. He looked up at the towering ancient tree and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mai Sui explained: "I came out with my aunt to practice Huagu Opera."

"That's it."

"Ah."

After a moment, Li Heng spoke again: "Have you ever received a love letter in person?"

Hearing this, Mai Sui smiled softly, walked up to him, looked him in the eyes, and said softly, "No. Not before, and not in the future."

After saying this, the two fell silent.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the tree and looked at her calmly.

He said from the heart: "I know my love life is a bit messy, and I have no right to tell you what to do, but I just feel unhappy for no reason."

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, took out the chocolate from her pocket, carefully peeled off the wrapper, and brought it to his mouth.

Li Heng didn't eat and turned his head away.

She continued to bring it to her mouth.

He pushed it aside again and brought the ears of wheat to his mouth.

At a certain moment, the two people's eyes met as if they were attracted by magnets, and their gazes never separated.

After a while, she took a step closer and put the chocolate to his mouth for the third time, with infinite tenderness in her eyes.

Li Heng was stunned. He reached out to take the chocolate, broke it in half and fed it to her first.

Mai Sui smiled, opened her red lips, and ate half a piece of chocolate bit by bit.

Then, Li Heng also ate half of the chocolate. He then argued vaguely: "I was not being petty just now. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Mai Sui gently sealed his mouth with his right hand.

She raised her head slightly and said with all her strength, "Can you hug me once?"

Li Heng was a little surprised, wondering if he had heard it wrong? She was a little different from the past.

They looked at each other for a long time. Just when there was a hint of loss in her eyes and she was about to retreat, Li Heng slowly reached out his hand and placed it on her waist.

Then, as she gazed at him, he exerted a little force, grasped her slender waist, and brought her into his arms.

When the two hot bodies touched, Mai Sui's body seemed a little stiff, a little unfamiliar, and even trembling. But she didn't move, but leaned her head on his right shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, Mai Sui's world was pure, without any noise. Even though there were loud gongs and drums outside, there was only this man in her eyes, ears and heart.

A few seconds later, a voice came into her ears, "Can't you just hug me? The temperature is so low, I'm cold too."

Hearing this, Mai Sui's eyes moved like autumn water, her eyebrows slowly raised, casting a hint of charm into his eyes, her hands moved, she hugged his waist with her backhand, and then whispered softly:
"Li Heng, do you believe me?"

Li Heng understood almost immediately, knowing that she was worried about the boy inviting her to the movies just now, and was afraid that he had misunderstood.

He said without hesitation: "Believe!"

Mai Sui calmed down for a while, then asked again: "Do you believe it at any time?"

Li Heng said firmly: "I believe it at any time!"

After getting the answer, she smiled, then moved her head slightly, hid in his neck, and hugged him tightly with her hands, and then she didn't move anymore, not moving at all, letting her long black hair flutter in the cold wind.

After a long while, a gentle voice came out of her mouth, "Li Heng, I will never let you down."

The sound was very small, almost imperceptible, but extremely firm and could not be blown away by the wind.
