1987 My Era

Chapter 490 Chapter 488, Promise
"Boom boom boom!"

At around 6: in the evening, someone knocked on the door.

At this time, Li Heng and Song Yu were chatting on the balcony. Hearing the noise, he turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"I'm the landlord, Mr. Li, someone downstairs is looking for you." The landlord introduced himself.

Is there anyone looking for you downstairs?
Li Heng looked puzzled, and then said to Song Yu, "I'll be back soon."

Song Yu nodded quietly.

Following him to the first floor, Li Heng discovered that the person who came was Teacher Yu’s bodyguard, Zeng Yun.

As soon as they met, Zeng Yun handed over an envelope and said, "Miss Yu asked me to pass it to you."

Li Heng did not doubt the other party's magical powers, but asked, "Where is Teacher Yu?"

Zeng Yun said: "I have returned to Shanghai."

Li Heng paused, then realized that because he came to find Song Yu, she simply chose to ignore it and left.

As soon as Zeng Yun left, he immediately opened the envelope.

There was a page of letter inside with only two sentences on it.

First sentence: The teacher left first because of something.

Second sentence: Editor-in-Chief Liao has something urgent to discuss with you and hopes you can return to Shanghai as soon as possible.

In addition to the letter paper, there was also the key to the Xila Hutong courtyard and a plane ticket back to Shanghai.

After looking at the three things for a long time, he returned to the room.

Song Yu glanced at the envelope in his hand, asked nothing, and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.

Li Heng stood there for a while, then came to the door of the washroom and said, "I'll take you to a place later."

Song Yu agreed.

After leaving the hostel, the two took a bus to the courtyard in Xila Hutong.

Opening the gate of the courtyard and following him around, Song Yu's first impression was that the courtyard was very large. Her second impression was that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were very tasteful.

As for the third feeling, she looked at the decorations in the room and fell into deep thought.

The decoration is very luxurious, yet low-key and restrained, and many of the arrangements seem to be designed according to her preferences.

After taking her to look around the courtyard carefully, Li Heng asked, "What do you think of this house? Do you like it?"

Song Yu commented matter-of-factly: "It's pretty good."

Li Heng stuffed a bunch of keys into her hand and said, "If you have time in the future, you can come over and help me water the flowers and look after the house."

This sentence was a bit abrupt, but Song Yu was not surprised at all, as if she had guessed his intention long ago.

After looking at each other for a while, she suppressed her resistance, did not say no, and put the key away.

She went outside to the yard, looked at the colorful flowers and plants and asked, "Did you plant these yourself?"

Li Heng instinctively wanted to lie, but thinking of the promise he had made to her, he finally told her the truth: "Teacher Yu bought this courtyard house for me, and she also did the decoration and flowers herself. I just told her to decorate the house according to your style."

Song Yu turned her head and stared at him without blinking. Her bright black pupils seemed petrified, which put a lot of pressure on him.

After a long standoff, just when he couldn't hold on any longer and was about to speak, Song Yu looked away and sighed softly: "In fact, Teacher Yu is the best fit for you."

Li Heng's heart trembled when he heard this.

Even though I have been with her for so many years, at this moment, I am still a little confused about her true intentions.

Is she telling the truth?
Or is she just making excuses for herself to back down?
But one thing is that the appearance of Teacher Yu brought a little ripple to her originally extremely peaceful life.

As for how deep this wave was, Li Heng wanted to spy on her, but she was on guard and didn't give him a chance.

In the past, he would have made his thoughts clear.

But at this moment, he did not do so, because everyone was smart and not so easy to fool.

After staying in the courtyard for about half an hour, the two of them left Xila Hutong tacitly and returned to the hostel before dark.

That night, the two of them slept in separate beds, facing each other in silence.

Song Yu lay down on the bed, and first couldn't help but recall every detail of their acquaintance, and then thought of what Xiao Han had said to her.

She suffers from insomnia.

Li Heng was also feeling uncomfortable. He finally endured the torment until around two o'clock in the morning. He got out of bed, broke the rules, and climbed onto her bed.

Song Yu watched all his movements quietly, but she just lay there motionless without saying a word of objection.

After a while, Li Heng suddenly broke the silence, "Are you asleep?"

Song Yu said calmly: "No."

Li Heng asked: "Can't sleep?"

Song Yu said: "Yeah."

Li Heng asked: "Are you thinking about something?"

Song Yu hummed again.

Li Heng asked again: "Is it related to me?"

Song Yu said yes.

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "Come with me to a place tomorrow."

Song Yu asked: "Where are you going?"

Li Heng said: "Over at the Drum Tower, I'll take you to meet my parents."

Hearing this, Song Yu's calm heart began to ripple. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Do they know me?"

This seems like a white question.

Li's parents had long been aware of Song Yu's existence, and Song Yu herself had also long been aware of this.

But she asked anyway.

The deeper meaning of the question is, do you know that you want to marry me?

Li Heng nodded in understanding: "I know."

Hearing this, Song Yu was moved. Although this man had various shortcomings, his love for her was so deep that she could not refute it and felt heavy.

She knew that Teacher Yu should come to Beijing this time.

She could also guess that Teacher Yu went with him to the courtyard house in Xila Hutong.

But in that situation, he still came to Peking University to find me fearlessly.

What does this mean?
He expressed his attitude directly to Teacher Yu on his behalf.

It also means that between Renmin University and Peking University, and between himself and Chen Zijin, he finally chose Peking University and chose himself.

Although many things will change drastically before the dust settles, this is undoubtedly a signal.

Thinking of this, Song Yu turned sideways, took the initiative to put her head on his arm, and whispered: "It's late, go to bed."

Li Heng asked, "You haven't answered yet."

Song Yu fell into silence, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Li Heng asked, "What are you worried about?"

Song Yu said with a graceful demeanor, "You are only a sophomore now. If you are still so determined in your senior year, I will go home with you."

Li Heng understood these seemingly ambiguous words at the first moment.

After he understood, his heart sank to the bottom.

She was conflicted, she retreated. He even guessed the reason, just like what he said in the courtyard before: Teacher Yu was more suitable for him.

This is more suitable, referring to being well matched.

He is now successful and famous, which easily arouses envy. Song Yu knows very well that she and her family can't help him, and Yu Shuheng is the best backer.

It seems that the Siheyuan has a deep impact on her. Li Heng regrets so much and is so depressed. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have asked Teacher Yu to decorate the Siheyuan.

But now that things have come to this, there is no time for him to regret.

He didn't know how he managed to get through that night. It was clearly summer, but he felt like he was in a cold winter.

The next morning, Song Yu got up at dawn. She washed up first, then sat in front of the makeup mirror and combed her hair meticulously. Through the mirror, she saw him staring at her. Seeing that he looked like a complaining woman, Song Yu smiled and said, "Get up, I'll take you to a good place for breakfast."

Li Heng was unmoved and asked, "Can you tell me why you thought that last night? Is it because you can't trust it?"

Song Yu was silent for a moment and replied, "There is a tutor in our school who is said to be very capable, but he failed in the selection process for academicians, and then he went to the United States in anger. My roommate said that this professor did not have strong connections."

Li Hengshun asked, "Which roommate is yours?"

Song Yu replied: "Chen Xiaoyu. Her family is from Beijing."

It was indeed Chen Xiaoyu, who was considered Song Yu’s best friend in later life. She was a native of Beijing, the only daughter in the family, and had an impressive family background.

In her previous life, the reason why Song Yu was able to spend four years in college peacefully and was not bothered by flies in a prosperous place like Beijing was all because of Chen Xiaoyu's protection.

In other words, most people would not dare to pursue the stunningly beautiful Song Yu. But most people are very afraid of Chen Xiaoyu and dare not hinder her.

Song Yu cited this example because she felt that she could not play a positive role in Li Heng's career. But Yu Shuheng was different.

If he married Teacher Yu, he would be more comfortable and successful.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

There is another aspect that she didn't say explicitly. She was afraid that after Teacher Yu failed to get her love, his love would turn into hatred and he would develop a desire for revenge against him.

This is what she doesn't want to see.

Although she was indifferent and usually lacked interest due to her pride, she cared about him very much in her heart. If she had to sacrifice one between his career and her own feelings.

She would rather sacrifice her own feelings than let him fall from the altar because of a woman.

Li Hengming understood her thoughts and was deeply moved. After all, it was Song Yu, the familiar Song Yu who was always tolerant and soft-hearted towards him.

But he asked stubbornly: "Do you keep your word? Come home with me in your senior year."

Song Yu struggled for a long time and finally said, "Okay."

Hearing this, foodie Li immediately changed his attitude and climbed up quickly.

After turning left and right, Song Yu brought him to a braised pork and steamed buns restaurant, and they ordered buns, braised pork and fried dough sticks.

It looked like an ordinary thing, but it made his eyes light up after eating it, and it tasted really good.

Seeing that he was eating hot food, Song Yu felt relieved and said with a nice smile: "This was recommended by my roommate. I have only been here three times."

Li Heng asked: "Do you want me to treat your roommate to a meal?"

Song Yu weighed the pros and cons and shook her head: "You have a special status now, so let's do it later. I'll bring them out sometime later. They've been clamoring for you to treat them to a meal for a long time."

After she finished speaking, she thought of what happened in the classroom yesterday and continued, "By the way, we'll go buy some of your albums later and ask you to sign them for me. I'll give them to my roommates and teachers."

"Yeah, okay." It was so hard for him to show off in front of Song Yu, and this was something he enjoyed doing the most.

After breakfast, the two ran to buy 15 instrumental music albums. Song Yu insisted on paying for them herself, saying that she was supporting him.

Hearing this, he stopped rushing to pay. Instead, he took the signature pen she handed him and signed his name one by one.

When the writing dried, Song Yu said, "I have to go back to class this afternoon, so I won't accompany you. When you're done here, go back to Shanghai as soon as possible, so as not to miss too many classes."

Li Heng reached out his hand to her.

Song Yu calmed down, put down the album in her hand, walked slowly towards him, and was hugged by him with a round of applause.

Half a minute later, she raised her head with a faint smile in her eyes: "Okay, let's stop here."

Li Heng let her go and reminded her again: "Remember to help me take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. Also, don't come alone, you can bring your roommates. For example, Chen Xiaoyu, whom you often mention."

Song Yu hummed, "I know."

She left, missing a whole morning of classes, and then went back to continue her class.

After sending her to the teaching building, Li Heng did not stop and rushed to the New Future Tutorial School. After seeing that everything was in order, he stayed in the teaching and research group for about three hours and then left. He returned to the Li family in Gulou.

Seeing that her son had not returned home all night, Tian Run'e could not help but ask, "Did you go to find Song Yu?"

Li Heng opened his mouth and said: "I was with Teacher Yu last night."

Tian Run'e curled her lips and said, "Teacher Yu spent the night here last night."

Li Heng was stunned, but understood later.

Xila Hutong was prepared by myself for Song Yu. Teacher Yu must have noticed my thoughts, so he didn't stay there for long and went back to Gulou.

As for why she didn't go back to her own home?

It was a mystery, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Maybe it's to further build a good relationship with my parents.

Seeing that her son had nothing to say, Tian Run'e asked, "Are you still going to Renmin University to look for Zijin?"

Li Heng shook his head: "I won't go this time, let's talk about it later."

Teacher Yu’s reminder is correct. If you go to Peking University, you cannot go to Renmin University.

Otherwise, if the truth is revealed, it will only embarrass Song Yu and Zi Jin.

Tian Run'e was puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that Zijin will be angry?"

Li Heng took out his plane ticket and said, "Next time I will come to see her instead of Song Yu. I have to leave tonight because I have something to do in Shanghai. Editor-in-Chief Liao has something urgent to talk to me about."

Tian Run'e leaned over to take a closer look at the ticket and immediately urged: "If you have something to do, then go to the airport quickly. It's almost too late."

"Eh."

We came and left in a hurry, without even having time to eat dinner, and rushed to the airport.

Before leaving, he took out a gift: "Mom, please give it to Zijin for me. I bought it especially for her."

Tian Run'e accepted the gift but cursed him verbally: "I am your mother, not your nanny. If you don't have the ability, don't go around messing around."

Li Heng walked away with a laugh.

Sitting on the plane, he looked out the window, thinking about Zijin and the Chen family. If it hadn't been for the summer vacation two years ago, he and Zijin wouldn't have been apart for so long, and maybe he would only have one woman in his past and present lives.

He felt particularly guilty for not going to the National People's Congress this time.

But some things have to be prioritized and dealt with one by one in an orderly manner.

Today, Comrade Tian Run'e and Zhong Lan still don't get along, and this is the biggest gap between the two families.

"Hello, Mr. Li, it's time to get off the plane."

Just as his thoughts were drifting away, a stewardess interrupted his train of thought, her eyes moving around on him, as if she recognized his identity.

"Oh, really? Thanks."

Li Heng came to his senses, quickly picked up his luggage and walked out.

He was so distracted that he didn't even notice the plane landed.

After watching Li Heng walk away, another flight attendant came over and joked, "How was it? Did he look at you more?"

The stewardess from before was a little discouraged and said in a low voice: "This is the first time I have doubts about my beauty."

Another stewardess said, "He's a famous musician and a college student from a prestigious university. He must have countless women around him. Stop being so horny. Come on, you lost the bet, give me 10 bucks."

The stewardess before reluctantly took out 10 yuan and said, "Let's bet again next time. I bet he will take a closer look next time."

It was obviously not the first time that the two had met Li Heng on the same flight.

Following the crowd to the exit, Li Heng immediately spotted Liu Bei in the crowd.

He looked around, walked over and asked, "Sister Liu, where is Teacher Yu?"

Liu Bei replied: "Teacher Yu had something to do at home, so she arranged for me to pick up Mr. Li."

Is there anything wrong? Li Heng didn't ask any more questions and followed her into the Mercedes-Benz.

As the car started, Liu Bei asked, "Mr. Li, are you going back to Lushan Village?"

Li Heng glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to Huidan first."

Ps: Update first and then modify.

I will resume updating in May. Now I have 5 million words. I will try to reach 211 million words by the end of May. Please supervise me, we have to get strong again!

Thank you very much for tolerating my long break in April. Thank you again for your support.
