1987 My Era

Chapter 28: A Gentleman's Dream

After paying the money and receiving the books, Sun Manning asked Li Heng: "There is still more than an hour before dinner time. Where are you going?"

Li Heng had a plan: "My hair has grown a bit long, I need to get a haircut, what about you guys?"

Liu Li yawned twice: "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm so sleepy. I need to go back to the dormitory and take a nap."

Before Zhang Zhiyong could say anything, Sun Manning said, "I'll go with you to the barber shop. My hair is a little thick, so I'll go get it thinned. You give the book to Zhang Zhiyong and let him take it away."

Then she turned to Zhang Zhiyong and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Zhang Zhiyong shrugged in frustration: "No problem, since you've arranged it this way, how dare I object."

After Liu Li and Zhang Zhiyong walked away, Sun Manning spoke again: "Which barber shop are you going to? Off-campus? Or on-campus?"

Li Heng touched his pocket and walked diagonally to the right side of the path: "I'm too lazy to run outside, so I'll just go to school. If you cut it carefully, you'll save two cents."

This is not him being cheap.

The barber shop on campus is located next to the faculty and staff cafeteria. It is opened by the wife of a vice-president. She is not short of money and originally opened the barber shop just to keep herself occupied. Unexpectedly, the business became so prosperous that everyone loves to come here.

Of course, in addition to strong technical skills, campus safety is also a major factor that cannot be ignored for booming business.

Especially those girls who are somewhat pretty basically don’t go outside to get their hair cut because there are many gangsters in those barber shops.

Some bosses are even scoundrels themselves.

After leaving the crowded area, Li Heng suddenly asked, "Tell me, you sent them away because you have something to do with me?"

"I'm smart. I know I can't hide it from you."

Sun Manning stopped, looked around, and finally sat on the horizontal bar.

Li Heng followed and sat on another horizontal bar.

Sun Manning asked: "Did you break up with Chen Zijin?"

Li Heng didn't understand the girl's intention for a moment, so he didn't say anything and just looked at her in confusion.

Sun Manning raised her right hand and made a gesture to answer the phone: "On the fifth day of the New Year, I was bored and went to visit Song Yu's house. I happened to hear Chen Zijin calling her."

If we were to ask who Chen Zijin had the best relationship with in junior high school, it would undoubtedly be Yang Yingwen and Xiao Han.

When she was in high school, Chen Zijin learned from Xiao Han's lesson in junior high school. She was afraid that someone would take advantage of her if they were separated, so she followed Li Heng and chose liberal arts.

At this time, because Yang Yingwen and Xiao Han were studying science in another teaching building, the people she was closest to became Song Yu and Sun Manning.

The three girls almost always eat, sleep, go to the toilet, and even take walks after meals together. They are very close.

Li Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What did you overhear?"

Sun Manning pouted: "Hey, don't use such an ugly word as stealing. I just said a few words."

Li Heng showed an apologetic expression and asked her to continue.

Sun Manning told him: "On the phone, Chen Zijin asked Song Yu about your situation last semester, and told her to pay more attention to you..."

Li Heng was listening intently when he didn't expect the conversation to stop and there was no further talk.

He asked in a daze: "What's next?"

Sun Manning said: "No, Song Yu found me, and Chen Zijin didn't mention you anymore."

At this point, she asked the same question again: "There's something wrong with your relationship with Chen Zijin, right?
Otherwise, considering how much she cares about you, why didn't she just call you directly? Instead, she wanted to find out about your situation indirectly through Song Yu?"

This girl's thinking is quite quick, she guessed it right the first time.

Li Heng did not respond to this question, but just said thank you sincerely.

Seeing that he seemed a little depressed, Sun Manning tactfully did not hold on to the question and instead asked the second question:
"Tell me the truth, do you secretly like Song Yu?"

He and the girl usually didn't discuss relationships between men and women, but they had always been quite tacit and honest with each other, and their friendship was so deep that they rarely lied to each other.

Li Heng said frankly, "I like it." This answer did not surprise her at all. Sun Manning clapped her hands and praised, "He is like a man. It's so refreshing!"

Li Heng sighed and said, "I thought it would be very difficult to admit this to outsiders, but I didn't hesitate or struggle at all. Oh! Am I hopeless?"

"Oh, don't come on."

Sun Manning chuckled and said, "Actually, whether you admit it or not, we all know it, but we have never exposed you."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows sharply: "We? Who else?"

Sun Manning held up three fingers and bent one finger for each name he said:
"I!

Song Yu!

Of course there is also Chen Zijin!"

When he heard her say a name, Li Heng was stunned for a moment and gradually stood still.

After trying hard to recall for a long time, he came back to his senses and asked, "How did you guess it?"

Sun Manning said: "It's not a guess, but your ability to hide your shortcomings in the past was too poor. In front of other people, you deserve the word "fox", but every time you look at Song Yu, your eyes betray your heart."

Li Heng did not refute and slowly fell into silence.

Not to mention the past, even if he had lived two lives now and saw Song Yu again, he might not be able to appear calm.

Sun Manning asked: "Knowing that you were mentally cheating, why didn't Chen Zijin make a fuss with you?"

Li Heng looked up: "Why?"

Sun Manning recited a line from the Book of Poetry: "A graceful lady is the ideal match for a gentleman."

Li Heng chewed it silently several times, and then he realized the taste.

Sun Manning held the horizontal bar with both hands, shook her legs and said: "I have read many novels, including those by Qiong Yao; I have read many famous works at home and abroad, including "Dream of Red Mansions"; from elementary school to junior high school, Mai Sui has always been the object of my greatest admiration.

But to be honest, I have never seen any real woman in real life who deserves these eight words - until I met Song Yu. "

Li Heng looked up at the white clouds in the sky and seemed to see three faces above: Song Yu, Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

Her gaze lingered on his face for a long time, and Sun Manning suddenly asked, "We've changed seats tonight. This is your last chance in high school. Do you want to sit with Song Yu?"

Hearing this, Li Heng retracted his gaze and looked at her: "In the final exam last semester, I ranked third in the class. I had no choice."

In the past few years, Song Yu and Mai Sui have always taken turns to occupy the first place in the class, and the position has never been lost.

To this end, the head teacher Wang Qi also counted the data:

Since the division of subjects in the second year of high school, Song Yu has won first place in the class 14 times and first place in the liberal arts of the whole school 8 times in all exams, big and small, including monthly exams, unified exams and regular exams.

Mai Sui has been first in the class 16 times and first in the school 6 times.

Li Heng was always the third, except for the time when he scored 61 points in English.

The two women are evenly matched and take turns competing for the first place.

Perhaps because they had a special relationship due to their love-hate relationship, Song Yu and Mai Sui have always been deskmates. Every time they choose seats, they choose each other and never leave the opportunity of being close to each other to outsiders.

Sun Manning said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I'll help you get the wheat ears."

If it were before his rebirth, even if Li Heng was extremely moved, he would not dare to do this openly.

But now, he doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders at all, and he doesn't have any psychological burden. The most he cares about is Chen Zijin's feelings.

Li Heng asked: "Why do you want to help me?"

Sun Manning didn't answer, jumped off the horizontal bar and left, as if she had forgotten about going to the barber shop.
