1987 My Era

Chapter 353, We (Happy New Year!)
The Accounting Class 2 was currently taking a course on economic law, and the person teaching at the podium was the secretary of the School of Management.

Li Heng pushed the door open a crack, and when he stuck his head in, he was met with dozens of eyes and the secretary's gaze.

Although he and Mai Sui are in the same School of Management, he seldom comes here, so the Accounting 2 class is very curious about him, who they have only heard of but never seen.

"Teacher." Li Heng greeted warmly.

"Come in and sit for a while?" the secretary asked with a smile.

"Okay." Li Heng smiled and walked into the classroom.

This question and answer stunned all the men and women in the Accounting Class 2. Their eyes were all focused on him, and a thought came to their minds: The old secretary is too polite to him! You are the secretary of the first hospital!

Seeing Li Heng walking towards his row, Ye Ning moved to the right, Zhou Shihe in the middle moved as well, and the wheat ears by the aisle also moved inwards.

After looking at Mai Sui, Li Heng sat down next to her. At first, under everyone's attention, the two of them behaved well and didn't make any noise.

But after half a class, Li Heng couldn't hold back any longer. He took a piece of paper and a pen from his desk and wrote: How can you be so calm when seeing me? There isn't even a simple welcome ceremony?
After reading the note, Mai Sui smiled tenderly and replied: Welcome home.

Li Heng wrote: The word "go home" is well used. What is your next class?
Mai Sui Hui: Situation and Policy.

Li Heng asked: Is this also a class for leaders?

Mai Sui replied: No, it belongs to Teacher Qin.

The figure of a short and fat middle-aged woman flashed through his mind, and Li Heng wrote: I miss you, do you dare to skip class and go home with me?

The words "I miss you" touched Mai Sui's soft heart, and he put pen to paper after a while.

Just as the tip of the pen touched the white paper, she stopped again, not knowing what to write or how to reply.

After waiting for a while and getting no reply, Li Heng wrote: Teacher Yu will come to dinner, and I plan to cook a good meal to thank her for taking care of me in Bailuyuan. You can accompany me to buy groceries and help me.

If you put it in a different way, Mai Sui will no longer be so embarrassed.

I saw her handwriting finally finished and she replied: OK.

When the bell rang for the end of the seventh class, Li Heng greeted Zhou Shihe who was sitting next to him: "Comrade Shihe, long time no see. I hope you are doing well."

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly, looked at the wheat ears, and said nothing.

Ye Ning leaned over and said, "Li Heng, how dare you do that? You've been skipping classes for a whole month. Do you know what the girls in our School of Management are saying about you behind your back?"

Li Heng asked: "What are you talking about?"

Ye Ning drew a circle in the air with his hands, "It is said that you are the principal's illegitimate child, and the teachers in the school dare not offend you."

Li Heng smiled and asked, "I plan to skip class with Mai Sui. Do you two ladies want to come with me?"

Ye Ning looked at Zhou Shihe, ready to make a move.

Zhou Shihe shook her head gently and said, "You guys go back first. Ningning and I will be back later."

Ye Ning grabbed Zhou Shihe's arm and shook it: "Why don't we skip class together? It's so exciting!"

Zhou Shihe smiled faintly and said nothing, remaining unmoved no matter how her friends tried to persuade her.

Seeing this, Li Heng said to Mai Sui: "Let's go."

"Yeah." Mai Sui hummed lightly, and followed his classmates out of the classroom under the gaze of the whole class.

After walking down the stairs and out of the School of Management teaching building, Mai Sui asked, "Have you reported to the teacher?"

"Yes, I went to the counselor's office." Li Heng replied.

Mai Sui asked: "Is writing going well in Bai Lu Yuan?"

"It's going pretty well. I don't have to worry about food and accommodation there. I'm almost halfway through writing my new book." Li Heng said.

When we were about to approach the school gate, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Why don't you write to me?"

Being stared at by him, Mai Sui avoided his sight and said, "I don't know what to write."

"Then write about your daily life. For example, how many minutes it takes you to get up in the morning, how many minutes it takes you to have breakfast, what classes you have in the morning, what you have for lunch, what time you go to bed at night, and whether you dream about me, etc." Li Heng said in a chattering manner.

Mai Sui was fine at first, but after hearing the latter part, he couldn't help laughing, and finally understood what he was planning.

Seeing that she always avoided the sensitive line, Li Heng sighed inwardly, knowing that the girl in front of him had changed her mind and could not return to the past in a short time, so he stopped testing her and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Why did you move out of Building 26?"

In fact, his question is useless.

Both of them knew why they moved away.

Mai Sui was silent for a while before she spoke softly, "It's not appropriate for me to live there anymore."

Li Heng pressed: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Mai Sui did not answer directly, but said ambiguously: "I volunteered."

She said that it was voluntary, but her purpose was to explain: Xiao Han did not look for her, and she hoped he would not misunderstand.

At this point, the two of them suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, Li Heng thought of Song Yu.

It is said that people of the same family are like one another. Song Yu is kind and soft-hearted, and so is Mai Sui. No wonder the two girls can become the best of friends. To a certain extent, this is their biggest commonality.

His gaze lingered on her profile for a long time, and Li Heng continued walking forward, out of the school gate, across the road, and came to the vegetable market.

Since there were enough preserved foods at home, Li Heng only picked some popular vegetables to buy. He asked: "Have you cooked at home recently?"

"We occasionally cook a meal on weekends, and it's usually done by Shihe. Ningning and I can't help much. But most of the time we eat in the cafeteria," she said.

Li Heng thought of the fortune-teller before the Lantern Festival and asked, "How is your family situation?"

Wheat Ear said, “Not bad.”

Li Heng asked, "Will your parents still go to the north to do business?" Mai Sui said, "I told them my fortune, and they promised me that I would not go to the north."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng was disappointed.

Fate is a complicated thing. Sometimes you may be worried for ten thousand years and nothing bad may happen. But sometimes, it really comes true and makes you regret it.

To sum it up, good fortune telling is usually not very accurate, it is just someone trying to trick you. But the bad fortune telling, hmm, I don't know if it is just a psychological effect, but if you always associate it with that, it is easy to get into bad luck.

After returning to Lushan Village and entering the house, the two people who were just talking and laughing suddenly became quiet.

It seemed that in this familiar home, in this familiar space, the emotions of the two could be expanded to the greatest extent, and all the secular things outside could be avoided. Li Heng closed the door as soon as he entered the kitchen, and stared at her with his head tilted.

The wheat ears seemed to sense something and turned around, staring at him quietly.

Today, Mai Sui is wearing reddish-brown clothes, with a graceful figure, charming eyes and eyebrows, and red lips, like cherries in early summer, tempting people to have a taste.

At this moment, the two people's eyes were full of magnetism, and once entangled, they never separated.

At some point, the gloomy sky finally began to rain heavily. Under the monsoon, the window glass was soon covered with pearly tears. In the kitchen, a man and a woman looked at each other silently from a distance of two feet.

Just looking at each other so gently, with appreciation, as if far away and yet close.

Some relationships can remain connected even at the ends of the earth; some feelings cannot be expressed in words; some love can last a lifetime with just a glance.

There was a heavy rain and storm outside the window. After a long time, Li Heng's heart was finally moved and he reached out to hug her.

Seeing the big hands getting closer and closer, the wheat ear struggled for a while but finally dodged lightly and took two steps back without leaving a trace. Then he turned around and squatted, pretending to pick the cabbage hearts as if nothing had happened.

For example, peeling off the green skin, or drawing the wire.

After finding nothing, Li Heng stood there woodenly, his eyes sinking down to the black hair on her head. After a while, he walked past her, came to the stove, and began to clean the wok and spatula.

For a moment, no one paid attention to anyone else, and no one tried to destroy the subtle atmosphere. The kitchen was extremely quiet.

My heart felt heavy, but I couldn't say a word. The two of us were so close yet seemed like worlds apart, and I didn't dare to face each other.

Mai Sui didn't dare to do so, and Li Heng couldn't force him.

Last year, they talked about their feelings in the attic and kissed in the study before the Lantern Festival. At that time, she was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't resist. She missed it very much. But afterwards, she regretted it. The contradictions and anxieties in her heart far outweighed the joy.

If he were single, Mai Sui would not have any worries and would stay by his side without hesitation and be his gentle and considerate woman.

But Li Heng was too outstanding, destined to be surrounded by many beautiful women and confidantes. Other women were fine, he could still find excuses to convince himself, but Song Yu was a hurdle in her heart that she could never get around.

Half a month ago, Song Yu wrote a letter to her.

After reading the letter, she fell into infinite distress. She didn't dare to advance in her relationship with Li Heng, but she couldn't let go.

So we have the current situation, where we dare not advance, and cannot retreat.

After some reflection, she decided to pretend that what happened in the attic and in the study had never happened and stay by his side as before.

She knew that for a man like Li Heng, other things might be frivolous, but how could she play with the feelings of her children? Especially when there were so many beautiful women around him and he was favored by the opposite sex, how could she treat him frivolously?

So she waited silently.

As for what she was silently waiting for? What would the future hold? She was hesitant, anxious, and uncertain.

Maybe one day he will dislike and annoy her, maybe one day he will be annoyed and treat her rudely, but no matter what the situation is, she will accept it.

"Tap Tap"

Just as the two of them fell into an endless cycle of silence, footsteps were heard outside, accompanied by a shout: "Sui Sui, Li Heng, where are you?"

This is Ye Ning's voice.

Zhou Shihe also came. She stood at the door and didn't go into the house, waiting.

Li Heng called out at the right time: "Comrade Ye Ning, we are in the kitchen."

Hearing the call, Ye Ning quickly entered the kitchen. Seeing this, Zhou Shihe outside also stepped forward and entered the house.

Ye Ning asked: "Why didn't you two talk just now? The room was so quiet, I thought no one was there, and I thought you forgot to lock the door."

Li Heng joked, "Mai Sui told me to shut up."

"Ah? Why? How could Sui Sui be that kind of person?" Ye Ning asked suspiciously.

Li Heng said: "She said that you and Manning would be coming over later, and asked me to save some saliva to deal with the questions you two asked."

Zhou Shihe at the door looked at him thoughtfully, then at Mai Sui, and then said to Mai Sui gently, "Sui Sui, do me a favor."

"Oh, okay." Mai Sui stood up, washed his hands simply, and left the kitchen.

When they got to the alley outside, she asked her bestie, "What's going on?"

Zhou Shihe didn't say anything until they returned to Building 25, then she asked worriedly, "Did you have a fight with Li Heng?"

Mai Sui shook his head, "I won't quarrel with him."

Zhou Shihe pondered for a while, then asked: "Did you two break the window paper?"

Mai Sui was stunned, and nodded after a few seconds, saying confusedly: "I don't want this either."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe asked, "Are you backing off?"

The four looked at each other and the wheat ears agreed.

At this point, Zhou Shihe did not ask further questions, but instead gave a reminder: "A broken mirror cannot be mended, spilled water cannot be recovered. If you are afraid of this relationship, you will fall behind step by step. Every choice is an opportunity and a turning point, so you need to think carefully."

The wheat ears remained silent.

ps: Tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the heroine will get the first blood. I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve and good luck in the New Year.
