1987 My Era

Chapter 482, Song Yu vs Mai Sui vs Chen Zijin

In the evening, when Li Heng was writing teaching materials in his study and felt a little hungry, the study door opened and half a head popped in from outside.

He turned his head in sync.

The two looked at each other, and Mai Sui smiled tenderly: "Are you hungry? It's time to eat."

"I'm hungry. I'm starving. You're back just in time."

Li Heng stood up and walked towards her: "Are you going to cook for yourself today?"

"No, we ate in the cafeteria. The food tasted good, so I brought back a portion for you." Mai Sui said that they hadn't been to the cafeteria for a long time, so the three of them ran to the cafeteria.

Li Heng washed his hands, came to the coffee table, took the food she handed over, and found that it was stir-fried beef and egg custard, both of which were his favorites, so he lowered his head and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Mai Sui poured him a cup of herbal tea, then sat beside him, looking at him quietly like a virtuous wife.

She waited until he had finished half of the bowl before she suddenly asked, "I received a letter today?"

Li Heng asked casually: "Love letter?"

Mai Sui smiled softly, "Who would dare to write me a love letter at Fudan University?"

She said this with some self-mockery, but more of a self-mockery. The whole school was spreading rumors about her and him. If there were still many people writing love letters in the first semester of freshman year, there were no more in the second semester.

Li Heng snorted proudly, "Good to know. If anyone dares to write a love letter to you, I will break his legs."

Mai Sui asked: "Does the past count as well?"

Li Heng ate a bite of steamed egg and said, "Let's just let it go. Spare them. Otherwise, breaking hundreds of people's legs at once won't be good. The hospital and the police will be too busy to handle it."

Mai Sui smiled, took the newly bought tissue from the coffee table, and wiped the corners of his mouth considerately. After a long while, he said, "It was sent by Peking University."

Li Heng was stunned and slowly raised his head: "Song Yu's?"

The expression on Mai Sui's face gradually faded away, and he agreed.

Li Heng asked worriedly, "What did she write?"

The wheat ears stared at him without saying a word.

After staring at each other for a while, Li Heng gradually lost the mood to eat, put down his chopsticks and asked: "Can I take a look?"

Mai Sui struggled internally for a while, then got up, went to the bedroom, and handed the letter to him.

The letter paper was very thick, totaling 6 pages.

The first page mainly describes daily life. Song Yu shares her life and study status with Mai Sui. Everything is normal.

Starting from the second page, Song Yu changed her tone and talked about the things between her, Mai Sui, Chen Zijin and Li Heng.

Song Yu's writing is as gentle as she is, and reading the whole thing is like reading a memoir.

Song Yu clearly said in the letter: I fell in love with Li Heng, but I don’t know when it started?

Maybe it was love at first sight.

Or maybe it was because I had more contact with Chen Zijin in the first year of high school. Every day when I woke up and before going to bed, I would hear Zijin nagging about Li Heng in my ear, and then subconsciously follow him and pay attention to him.

Originally, this was nothing. Song Yu said that at first, she did not notice any changes in herself over time, and her life went on as usual, day after day.

until one day.

It was not until one evening in the second semester of her freshman year in high school, when she and Chen Lijun were walking in the campus after dinner, that they accidentally saw Li Heng and Chen Zijin kissing in a small forest in the southeast corner, and his hand even reached into Chen Zijin's clothes.

At that moment, Song Yu felt dizzy and her breathing became heavy. She suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart.

That night, she tossed and turned in bed all night, her mind full of every detail of her meeting Li Heng.

And as the night passed, his mark in his mind became clearer and clearer.

As dawn approached, Song Yu had no choice but to accept the fact that she seemed to have him in her heart and she seemed to like him.

From then on, she, who was always calm and composed in the eyes of others, started to feel awkward.

Every time she passed Li Heng in the corridor or in an empty place, her heart would beat fast.

It was also from then on that she began to feel ashamed, secretly hating herself for falling in love with her best friend. Then she began to try to avoid Li Heng, not being alone with him, and not making eye contact with him.

Even if they looked at each other unintentionally, she would secretly blame herself for a long time.

However, although she was obviously feeling awkward, her attention to him increased day by day. If he did well in a subject, she would be happy for him; if he failed in a subject, she would be anxious for him.

Once, as the English class representative, she was called to the office by teacher Wang Runwen to help mark the papers. She specialized in marking the multiple-choice questions.

The Chinese teacher walked in. When he saw that Li Heng's English score was only 63, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity for Li Heng. He is destined to have no chance of going to a good university."

At that moment, she, who was always a good kid in the eyes of others, felt an indescribable annoyance in her heart. She said to the Chinese teacher with a faint smile: "Li Heng is very good at math, so I give him full marks this time."

After being surprised, the Chinese teacher said, "Really? That's even more of a pity."

After that day, her Chinese teacher, who was originally quite good, became the teacher she disliked the most. In the following midterm exam, she deliberately failed the Chinese test and wrote an off-topic essay.

As expected, the Chinese teacher got her revenge. She couldn't show off her composition in front of other teachers as usual, nor could she circulate her composition among other classes as a mock composition. Instead, she stared at her test paper for a long time.

I watched her Chinese teacher patiently guide her in the office afterwards, teaching her how to write this kind of composition and how to review the topic. The upright girl's heart was twisted into a knot. It was so difficult to secretly like someone.

Although she felt awkward, she would happily agree to go out with him whenever he was around, such as eating, taking a walk, or going shopping in the city center. She would even secretly look in the mirror before leaving.

Even when eating, walking or shopping, she deliberately didn't look at him, didn't talk to him, and kept the farthest distance from him. But once he spoke, she would quietly prick up her ears and listen.

And remember what he said, as well as his joys and sorrows.

Is this tiring?
Mai Sui, you should feel the same as I do. Even if you don’t talk to him, you are happy just by pretending.

The love for a person is hidden in the heart, and through the threshold of the heart, the world becomes so beautiful.

At this point, there were several dots of ink on the letter paper. It was obvious that Song Yu hesitated for a while when writing here, or fell into reminiscence, and then continued writing:

Li Heng likes playing basketball. Maybe because he is too handsome, many girls in school like to watch him.

These girls either appeared at the sidelines of the basketball court or stood in the classroom corridor.

And every time this happened, Song Yu would pretend to look elsewhere with a calm face, her eyes fixed on the distant skyline. The basketball hoop nearby became nothingness, and she could only see a group of blurry people out of the corner of her eye.

This group of people includes him, Zijin and you.

Every time he scored points by shooting in a handsome posture, many girls would cheer and jump for joy. At this time, she would turn her face away, with a faint smile secretly appearing in the corner of her eyes.

This happened many times, but one time she let herself be caught by Chen Zijin, and then they didn't speak to each other for a long time.

To be specific, it should be 14 days, and we didn’t speak for two weeks.

After 14 days of agony, on the morning of the 15th day, Chen Zijin took the initiative to buy her a breakfast. The two of them reconciled without asking any reasons.

When they made up, Zijin said something to her that she still remembers vividly: "Have you seen Xiaohan, the student in Science Class 206 who is as famous as you, up close? That vixen loves him and often challenges me overtly or covertly; Mai Sui also likes him, and Chen Lijun also has a crush on him. But the one who makes me most at ease is Manning, who likes to sit at the same table with him."

Song Yu understood that it was because Manning was careless and always seemed heartless.

That morning, she ate the breakfast bought by Chen Zijin and listened to Chen Zijin's narration of how he discovered these clues.

After breakfast, Chen Zijin took her arm and took a walk. When they reached the small rockery, he suddenly looked up at the sky and said from the bottom of his heart, "Song Yu, you know what? Two weeks ago, I couldn't accept why Mai Sui and Li Jun liked him. He was obviously mine. But now I accept it."

Song Yu knew clearly that it was because of her that Zijin accepted the betrayal of other friends.

Or to put it another way, Song Yu, who was perfect in everyone's eyes, couldn't help but be moved, so it became acceptable for Mai Sui and Chen Lijun to be moved.

In the letter, Song Yu wrote: In the second year of high school, I could clearly feel that Zijin became anxious. I could understand why she became more anxious. It was because of me.

It was because Li Heng was no longer reserved or introverted. He dared to look at me openly. This discovery made me feel a little helpless, and Zijin became more and more worried.

I remember one time, it was Sunday afternoon, the school was on half-day holiday, everyone went out to play, and I was practicing math problems in the classroom because I sprained my ankle.

Li Heng came to the classroom and sat next to me for the first time, asking me for help with English. He also brought me some ointment for sprains and bruises.

This time, I could clearly feel that his heart had crossed the center line and was gradually moving towards me.

Just when I was helping him review English tenses and grammar with all my might, Chen Zijin came and brought me some ointment for sprains and bruises.

The three of us were in an awkward situation in the classroom, and I was feeling uneasy and speechless.

Later, Mai Sui, you and Manning also showed up. I guess you also brought medicine, but you didn’t take it out, right?

Afterwards, Chen Zijin, who felt a huge crisis, came to talk to me and said to me sadly: "Song Yu, I can't hold on any longer, why don't I give him to you."

I know Zijin was just saying that out of anger. Zijin can't and won't leave him.

I knew that Zijin was retreating in order to advance, using words to provoke me and force me to make concessions.

But I felt guilty, so after a long silence, I said, "From now on, I will never be alone with him again, and I will never meet him alone again."

Zijin gritted her teeth and said, "It doesn't have to be like this from now on. As long as high school and college don't accept him, that's fine."

I was a little confused at that time.

Zijin puffed out her cheeks and said cutely but with gritted teeth, "If I can't get him completely in high school and college, he will definitely be stolen away by Xiaohan one day. If that happens, it's better to let Xiaohan, that vixen, get away with it."

After reading this part of the letter, Li Heng frowned. No wonder in his previous life, no matter how he pursued Song Yu or how many love letters he wrote to her during college, she remained unmoved. It was not until she graduated from college that she accepted him and started dating him.

It turns out that this is the crux of the relationship.

However, Zijin did not keep his promise. In his previous life, he proposed to Song Yu twice, but both times it was Zijin who messed up the situation.

Of course, he did not blame Zijin, nor was he qualified to blame her, because in the final analysis, the fault was his.

However, man proposes, God disposes. I was reborn in this life, and many things in the future became unpredictable.

Sure enough, in the letter, Song Yu wrote: However, things are unpredictable. Under the tremendous pressure from Xiao Han, Zijin made a decision and got together with him in the following summer vacation.

Mai Sui, you should have heard about what happened later: a good thing turned into a scandal, and Zijin had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to the capital.

Since then, Li Heng seemed to have changed. During the third year of high school, especially in the second semester, he not only actively persuaded Manning to change seats and sit at the same table with me, but also repeatedly asked me for help.

At this point, Song Yu tactfully put down her pen and wrote: You know what happened later. We two sisters had agreed to come to Peking University together, but you ended up following him to Fudan University. From that time on, I had a premonition that this scene would happen.

The only thing that was slightly different from my premonition was that this scene happened too quickly, and I’m only a sophomore.

In the letter pages from the second to the sixth, Song Yu uses a narrative style to narrate all of her emotions from high school to the present. The process is truthful, fair and impartial, without any exaggeration.

And in the last paragraph, Song Yu wrote: Wheat Ear, I look forward to hearing from you.

Below is the signature and date.

After reading the letter, Li Heng closed his eyes and thought for a while.

Then he opened his eyes and read it silently again. Finally, he slowly put the letter on the coffee table and turned to look at the wheat ears.

He asked her in a deep voice: "I remember you were writing letters to Song Yu a few days ago. Have you sent them out?"

Mai Sui shook her head and said softly, "No."

Hearing this, Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and did not ask her what was written in those letters. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "How many times did you read this letter, Song Yu?"

Wheat Ear lowered his head and answered, "11 times."

Li Heng was stunned, but he understood after a while. He walked over and asked, "Do you understand?" Mai Sui looked up at him, her red lips opened slightly several times, but then closed again, as if she was hesitant to speak.

During the confrontation, at a certain moment, Li Heng stretched out his hands towards her.

After hesitating for a while, Mai Sui leaned forward and fell into his palm, and he pulled her into his arms.

Li Heng lowered his head to smell the fragrance of her hair, and finally whispered in her ear: "Don't quit, don't make promises, I'm not a commodity, you can't give me away."

Hearing this, Mai Sui buried her head deeply in his neck, and after a long while she murmured, "Okay."

After a while, she finally calmed down, raised her head slightly and asked, "Should I reply?"

Li Heng came closer and rubbed her face against his: "As long as you don't leave me, you can follow your heart for the rest."

"Ah."

After receiving his affirmative answer, Mai Sui stood up and got out of his arms, and handed him the chopsticks on the coffee table. "Finish your meal, and I'll tell you something later."

Li Heng asked: "What's the matter?"

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, "You eat first."

Li Heng smiled, looked at her, looked at her again, took the chopsticks and continued eating.

It took Li Heng about 4 minutes to eat up all the remaining food, even the garlic sprouts and chopped chili peppers.

After eating, he looked at her calmly, waiting for what she would say.

Unexpectedly, Mai Sui suddenly said, "I regret it. I'll tell you later."

Li Heng: “….”

He refused to give up: "Must it be later? Not today?"

The dark eyes flickered twice weakly, Mai Sui stood up and walked towards the corridor entrance. A soft voice came: "Don't sit after dinner, I will go for a walk with you."

Li Heng stared at her back for a while, then stood up and happily followed her downstairs.

Walking in the box, he asked, "Where are Manning and the other three?"

Mai Sui said, "Manning and Ningning went to the Student Union and will have a regular meeting tonight. Shihe is catching up on her sleep in the bedroom of Building 27. She had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well."

Li Heng asked: "You are also a member of the student union, why didn't you go to the regular meeting?"

Mai Sui smiled at her, then turned around and left him with a delicate and charming back.

Li Heng was watching from behind, absorbed in the moment, and at one point, he really wanted to hug her from behind. But it was still dark, and the road was full of people, so he didn't dare to move.

"Old Heng! Uncle Heng! Wheat Ear!"

When the two men just walked out of the alley, a rhythmic shouting came from the entrance of the alley in front of them. They looked over and immediately a mean figure came into their sight.

If not a fool, then who is?
Zhang Zhiyong seemed particularly excited when he saw him. He ran over with sparks flying all the way and punched him on the shoulder, spewing the same familiar curse words: "Damn it! Lao Heng, you are so awesome now! As soon as your album came out, everyone in our school knew that you were my buddy. Many girls approached me and asked me for your personal information.

Fuck! Am I the kind of person who can be fooled? They treated me to a meal and I ate it for free. After the meal, they never mentioned you at all. Hehe... guess what? Not only did they not blame me, they even treated me to a meal. "

This made Li Heng and Mai Sui laugh.

Mai Sui rarely joined in and asked, "So you are a celebrity now too?"

"That's right! It's a must! Sister-in-law, you don't know that I can act arrogantly with the name of Uncle Evergrande, and everyone has to look up to me." Zhang Zhiyong patted his chest, spitting, his exaggeration was evident in his words, and he seemed very excited.

The call of "brainless sister-in-law" exposed the relationship between the two people to pieces. A shy look appeared on Mai Sui's face, which was red and had an indescribable charm. It was so beautiful!
For a moment, even the stupid ones were stunned.

Li Heng kicked him angrily.

Zhang Zhiyong was in so much pain that he bent over and held his thigh, baring his teeth to express his dissatisfaction: "Fuck! You are just jealous. No matter how beautiful the wheat ears are, they are not as good as Sister Chunhua."

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Liu Chunhua is about to give birth to a child."

"What's wrong with having a baby? Help me have one now, so I can have one less in the future. It saves money and effort, so why not do it?" Zhang Zhiyong looked indifferent.

Li Heng: “….”

Wheat ear: “….”

Li Heng had seen idiots before, but he had never seen one as stupid as this one. He wished he could slap this idiot to death.

Mai Sui couldn't help but ask, "Is Liu Chunhua beautiful?"

Zhang Zhiyong pointed to the sky and said, "She's so beautiful! In my heart, she is the Chang'e in the sky."

What the hell is Chang'e? If she were put in Statistics 2 class, among 32 girls, Liu Chunhua could at most be ranked 8th. Li Heng secretly complained but didn't say it out loud.

Because he didn't know what was wrong with him?
There are so many women in the world, but Lao Yong only loves this one.

Li Heng asked curiously, "Before coming to Shanghai, did you go to see Liu Chunhua again?"

Zhang Zhiyong raised his right hand and grinned, "She cooked a meal for me."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "Eat at home?"

"Do you have a brain? What you are saying is nonsense. How can you cook for the old man if you are not at home?" Zhang Zhiyong said.

Li Heng resisted the urge to hit him and asked, "Where is her husband?"

Zhang Zhiyong raised his chin, acted arrogantly and didn't tell the two of them.

Li Heng once again suppressed the thought of hitting someone and asked, "Why are you here at this hour? Do you have something to ask me?"

"Yo! Damn! I forgot about the important thing while talking to you, so I brought you a letter." As he said that, Zhang Zhiyong felt in his pocket and took out a folded envelope.

Li Heng subconsciously asked: "Whose?"

He glanced at the wheat ears without thinking, stammering and saying nothing.

Mai Sui was so smart that he recognized the handwriting on the envelope at a glance, and then said to Li Heng: "You guys chat first, I'll go to Xiaozhu in Yanyuan."

The fool touched his empty belly and yelled at the back: "Hey! Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten yet."

Mai Sui said, "We have noodles at home, make it yourself."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

The fool rubbed the back of his head and said, "Why are you so unkind? I already called you sister-in-law, what else do you want? I have to make a bowl of noodles by myself, isn't it a waste of your calling me old master? I have never suffered such a big loss!"

Li Heng ignored his words, stared at the envelope and asked, "Why would Song Yu write to you?"

"Bullshit! I thought she wrote to the old man to say hello. My god, my heart was pounding. But when I opened the letter, it was all about you.

Damn it! I knew that miracles would never happen in this world without warmth, and fairies in heaven would never pay attention to ugly people like us." The foolish man stood with his feet turned outward and his hands on his hips.

Li Heng asked: "What did you write?"

"You have no eyes, can't you see for yourself? Give me money quickly. I'm starving. I'm going to buy something to eat." Zhang Zhiyong stretched out his hand for money.

Li Heng asked: "You didn't bring any money today?"

"I came all the way to deliver the letter to you, why should you spend my money to fill my stomach? Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhang Zhiyong's eyes were as big as lanterns, bigger than a cow's eyes.

Li Heng laughed, took out a few bills from his pocket, and stuffed them into his palm without even looking at them.

After getting the money, Zhang Zhiyong happily ran to the school gate to eat.

Li Heng picked a clean piece of grass nearby and started opening the letter.

The content of the letter was far less than expected. It only asked one question, about Zhao Jing and Li Ran, mother and daughter, and whether the mother and daughter really "eat men"?
Read it once.

Read it silently again.

When he read it for the third time, Li Heng realized: Just as Quxinyan said, this letter seemed to be written to Lao Yong, but in fact it was written to himself in various ways.

It seems to be asking whether Zhao Jing and her daughter eat humans? In fact, it is reminding him to be moderate on the wheat bed.

Of course, these are not the most critical.

The most important thing is to test my mother's purpose of coming to Shanghai?

Test the relationship between yourself and Teacher Yu?
Test whether the promise you made is still valid?
Holding the letter, Li Heng's fingers gradually turned pale.

He knew that what he had done in Shanghai had finally reached her ears, and he could not hide it from her after all.

He sat alone on the grass for more than half an hour, until the heartless man came back. He then slowly stood up, took out the key from his pocket and handed it to him: "You are sweaty all over, go take a shower first."

The fool didn't answer, and said, "What kind of bath is that? Even if you take a bath, you won't have a place to sleep tonight. Your room is occupied by women."

Li Heng said: "There are rooms on the first floor."

The fool pointed at his nose and yelled, "You let a lovelorn person like me sleep in the utility room? Has your mother's heart been eaten by a dog?"

Li Heng pretended to take back the key, "Then get out of here, and get back to school."

The fool quickly reached out and grabbed the key: "It's just a utility room, it's a home after all."

On the way back, Li Heng suddenly thought of his father: "Oh, by the way, where are your father and the wonton shop owner?"

"Fuck it, don't even mention it. Now that bitch couple is living together in Shao City and has even opened a new wonton shop."

Zhang Zhiyong walked away while angrily saying, "The butcher was useless last time. He didn't even stab them to death. When I get back to school, I will write a letter to the butcher and tell him what the couple did in Shao City and where they live."

Li Heng frowned: "You will cause death if you do this."

"Bah! What's there for the old man to be afraid of? This world is too dirty and needs to be cleaned up. It would be better if she died! If she dies, all that bitch's money will be mine." Zhang Zhiyong fully demonstrated his unscrupulous nature.

Li Heng wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by this guy, "If you persuade me again, I will break off my friendship with you! Fuck you! My mother cries and cries at home every day..."

Li Heng replied: "Wash your face with tears."

"Don't teach me. Do you think I don't know such low-level words? I'm a college student." The foolish man retorted to him arrogantly.

Li Heng: “….”

Zhang Zhiyong was very upset. "My old hag mother cries every day at home, but he is out there enjoying himself with his mistress. I can't swallow this.

Brother, don't ask me about this anymore. When that bitch dies, I'll take you home for a feast. Others only eat one spoonful of beef sauce when they are alive, but I'll give you three spoonfuls."

Li Heng: “…”

He was thinking, had this scene happened in his previous life?
Unfortunately, it happened decades ago and I can’t remember it clearly.

But his father seemed to be full of energy. He was over 60 years old and was still playing poker with a widow from the neighboring village in the toilet. He was caught by the widow's mother-in-law and boasted in front of dozens of people: This land is so fertile, and there is no man in your family to use it, so you don't allow me to use it?
This statement caused a great sensation at the time and was spread all over the place. For a time, Zhang's father became a "celebrity" and even three-year-old children knew him.

But then again, Zhang's father, who had been a scoundrel all his life, also paid the price for his words. The mother-in-law was so angry that she crossed the mountains and rivers to Shangwan Village in the middle of the night to put rat poison in their well and set fire to the Zhang family's old house.

Unconsciously, they reached the end of the alley. After regaining his composure, he said to Quxinyan, "Go take a shower first. I have something to talk to Teacher Yu about."

"Go ahead and stuff it, don't worry about me." said the fool.

ps: Change first and then change.

(I don’t know if there are any more)
