1987 My Era

Chapter 387, Unexpected Encounter
When he opened the door, Li Heng felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Shihe's strange look.

But he was embarrassed for a moment, and the next second he greeted like nothing had happened: "Comrade Shihe, good evening."

Zhou Shihe looked at his mouth, then at the corner of his clothes covered with red marks, then handed Mai Sui's bag to him and said gently: "There is a handkerchief in the bag. The bathroom is over there in the corridor."

Her voice was neither loud nor sharp, but it went straight to the heart.

Li Heng: “.”

He took the bag, took out his handkerchief, went to the bathroom, faced the mirror, and washed his mouth thoroughly with water in his palms.

Damn it, what kind of lipstick is this? It’s all over the place when I kiss.

After cleaning, Li Heng came to the corridor again and asked Zhou Shihe: "Are you waiting for me?"

Zhou Shihe nodded slightly, "There is still a seat in the corner of the front row of the auditorium, do you want to sit there?"

She was waiting for him here specifically because Mai Sui asked her to do so.

Li Heng shook his head. "No, I'm not interested in this art performance. You go and watch it. I'll just go back to Lushan Village."

Zhou Shihe looked at him strangely again, realizing that he came here specifically to look for the wheat ears, and now that he had succeeded, he couldn't wait to leave.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go back with you."

"Ah? You don't want to watch it? It's a rare opportunity in a semester." Li Heng asked.

Zhou Shihe walked in front, heading towards the exit of the aisle, "It doesn't look good."

Seeing this, Li Heng stayed where he was for a few seconds and then followed.

It was raining heavily last night, but today the sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

After leaving Xianghui Hall, Zhou Shihe walked straight to Lushan Village. When she was about to reach the entrance of the alley, she suddenly asked, "Li Heng, can I ask you a question?"

Li Heng, who was leisurely watching from behind, gathered his thoughts and said, "You say."

Zhou Shihe thought for a moment and asked, "Will you be responsible for Mai Sui in the future?"

His eyes fell on her thin back, and Li Heng said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Zhou Shihe asked again: "Then will you marry her?"

This was the first time that the two of them had openly revealed their relationship. In the past, Zhou Shihe always avoided talking about his relationship with Mai Sui and pretended not to see it.

But today, she couldn't pretend anymore, because to continue pretending would be an insult to the intelligence of the three people, so she asked this question for the first time.

She was very curious, how would it end after he blatantly flirted with two beautiful women?

Aren’t you afraid that Xiao Han will make a fuss?

At the same time, she always felt something was wrong in her heart. He seemed to have different thoughts about her. Once or twice, she was able to deceive herself and pretend that she didn't know.

But after so many times, she could no longer comfort herself.

After all, when they were alone, the look he gave her unintentionally couldn't be faked.

Because of this, she is now a little confused and a little sad.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would be secretly happy if she was favored by such an outstanding boy.

But she didn't, she felt more depressed, helpless and confused.

Because she was now caught between him and Mai Sui, with a good sister on one side and a talented man on the other. To be honest, apart from the occasional strange atmosphere, she still liked getting along with the two of them.

Fortunately, whenever Li Heng realized that he had lost his composure, he would withdraw decisively and not bother her. This was the only thing that made Zhou Shihe feel at ease.

Therefore, in her heart, Li Heng is still an upright gentleman.

He never made excuses for his loss of composure, nor did he explain anything to her, but behaved in a cool and neat manner. This was also a kind of pattern. Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Shihe glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and then stopped asking questions, walking lightly in the alley with a steady pace.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion?
At this moment, she gave people the feeling that she was integrated with the surrounding environment. Looking at her thin back, Li Heng felt very peaceful.

When they reached the end of the alley, Li Heng casually asked politely, "Would you like to sit over at my place for a while?"

Zhou Shihe pondered for a while and actually agreed.

Li Heng took out the key and opened the door to Building 26. He smiled and said, "You are here for the sequel to White Deer Plain, right?"

Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly after his little thought was exposed, and admitted openly: "Yes. I just read chapter 31. I wanted to read the book with you yesterday afternoon, but you were busy at that time."

Li Heng pushed open the door and turned on the light. "How do you feel?"

"It's pretty good." Zhou Shihe has always felt that White Deer Plain would push the literary status of the man in front of him to a new height.

The reason she made this judgment was that it had been a long time since she had such a strong desire to read a book.

But she is a reserved person and won't easily reveal these thoughts.

It was precisely because of her love for "White Deer Plain" and his extraordinary talent in music that Zhou Shihe was much more tolerant of him than other opposite sexes.

After changing shoes and going up to the second floor, Li Heng asked her, "Would you like to go to my study? Or read on the sofa?"

Zhou Shihe said, "Sofa."

The answer was completely expected. After Li Heng went to the study and took out the manuscripts from Chapter 31 to Chapter 38, he went back into the study and started to busy himself.

Quietly watching him leave and quietly listening to the door closing, Zhou Shihe then lowered his head to look at the manuscript in his hand, then chose a seat he was most familiar with and sat down to read the manuscript.

Time often passes quickly when immersed in the world of books. Just as she was losing herself in the world, there was a knock on the door on the first floor.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Shihe subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the study. Seeing no movement, she put down the manuscript, walked to the balcony outside, and looked down.

Hmm? Is it her?

Coming at this time?

Zhou Shihe raised his right wrist to check the time: 7:12.

In this season, it usually gets dark around 8pm. Zhou Shihe put down his right hand and looked down again.

Almost at the same time, the knocking on the door stopped, and Xiao Han, feeling something, raised his head and looked towards the balcony.

For a moment, the two women stared at each other from a distance.

One stood on the balcony, and the other stood at the gate of the yard. They looked at each other, and no one said a word.

After a while, Zhou Shihe reacted and smiled gently at Xiao Han. Then he walked back to the living room, towards the entrance of the corridor, and soon arrived at the yard and opened the gate.

Just now they were looking at each other from a distance, but now they were looking at each other through the door, sizing up each other's appearance and clothes.

After a while, Xiao Han made a clear voice, smiled sweetly and asked, "Is my boyfriend here?"

"Here." Zhou Shihe said politely while moving aside.

Xiao Han stepped into the courtyard and asked again, "Is there anyone else upstairs?"

"He's in the study." Zhou Shihe answered the question irrelevantly and did not follow the other party's way of answering.

Xiao Han's delicate nose wrinkled slightly, thinking that the other party was not a good person. At the same time, he secretly sighed: Mr. Li is such a man, always loves beautiful women, and there is no shortage of beautiful women around him.

Ps: I have some things to deal with, that’s all for today.
