1987 My Era

Chapter 636, A Clash of Titans
The two women faced off across the alley, their eyes flashing with a tension that seemed to ignite between them, neither willing to yield.

Neither side backed down.

After a long while, Xiao Han took a deep breath and actually left Building No. 26, walking into the courtyard across the street.

Yu Shuheng was surprised that the other party would come, and she was surprised that the other party would have such courage. She held her coffee and took a sip with a meaningful look, wanting to see what Xiao Han was up to.

Stepping over the threshold, Xiao Han looked around with her hands behind her back. Seeing the thriving flowers and plants in the yard, she smiled sweetly and asked:

"Teacher, my boyfriend planted two ginkgo trees and they both died, but yours looks completely different. Do you have any planting secrets?"

The word "teacher" implies Yu Shuheng's seniority.

It's as if it's mocking: Is it reasonable for a teacher to fall in love with her male student, and even steal him from someone else?
With another phrase, "my boyfriend," Xiao Han subtly asserted her ownership over him.

Yu Shuheng smiled and said, "Just do your best."

They're all smart people; how could she not understand the hidden meaning in Xiao Han's words?

But she resolved the issue with just four words.

Yu Shuheng seemed to be saying: I put my heart into it, and these flowers and plants are growing well; but what does it mean that the two ginkgo trees you planted have died?
This means that Li Heng didn't put in the effort, and that he didn't care about you that much.

After a question and answer session, the two women stared intently at each other, their eyes locked in a fierce confrontation.

After a moment, Xiao Han revealed a small dimple, "Judging from your clothes, you seem to be a very particular person. Why do you like to pick up other people's leftovers?"

Yu Shuheng said calmly, "I dislike sour things and don't like green apples. I prefer ripe red apples. Thank you and Chen Zijin for your companionship and support over the years."

Teacher Yu pointed out "Chen Zijin" and directly returned the hurt to Xiao Han: If we're talking about the original, it's Chen Zijin who is the original. You, Xiao Han, are just leftovers, and you also stole the man from your best friend.

This statement also marks the first time Yu Shuheng has shown her assertive side to her female confidantes: Thank you for ripening this green apple, but I'm determined to have this man.

Just as the two women were about to completely break off relations, their tensions running high and the air thick with the smell of gunpowder, a voice came from the attic on the second floor: "Teacher, your phone..."

This is Li Heng shouting from the attic on the second floor.

He had just gone up to the second floor, poured himself a glass of water, and hadn't even finished drinking it when the phone on the coffee table rang. Only then did he come out to remind the person on the other end.

Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned!

this..
What the fuck is going on?

When did my cunning wife arrive? What is she doing in this courtyard?
Judging from the way the two women are acting, it looks like they're about to start fighting!

Xiao Han was furious at the moment. The two symbolic ginkgo trees had both died, and anyone would be enraged. Normally, she would at most beckon God with her little finger, pull some strings behind the scenes, and put forward a proxy to fight the war, while she would hide behind the scenes and reap the benefits.

In her past life, she did exactly the same thing, fully utilizing and amplifying Chen Zijing's weaknesses, so that Chen Zijing, who was also in the capital, could tightly control Song Yu, causing Song Yu to reject Li Heng's marriage proposal twice out of guilt towards her best friend.

At his shout, Teacher Yu and Xiao Han in the courtyard both subconsciously looked up at him.

The three stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange and unpredictable.

About ten seconds later, Li Heng gradually came to his senses, turned around and went into the house, then walked downstairs.

The stairs seemed endless, as did the living room on the first floor, but Li Heng, though terrified, eventually made it to the top.

As he came out of the house, the two women's eyes fell on him again, wondering who he would speak to first.
Despite the strange looks from the two women, Li Heng smiled broadly and said shamelessly, "Teacher, Ye Qing is on the phone. She has something urgent to tell you."

Seeing that he didn't unconditionally favor Xiao Han like last time, and didn't take Xiao Han away in front of her, Yu Shuheng was somewhat satisfied. After a while, she smiled and nodded, got up, and went into the house.

Many things cannot be rushed; they must be done gradually. Since her current position in his heart is not as high as that of the older generation like Xiao Han, Chen Zijin, and Song Yu, she will let time erode that position. The fact that he greeted her first today is enough for her to some extent. Yu Shuheng knows the current situation is delicate. She can disregard Xiao Han's feelings, but she cannot disregard the younger man's. After all, she still wholeheartedly wants to marry him.

As soon as Teacher Yu left, my breathing became sweeter, and a sense of relaxation arose spontaneously.

Li Heng turned to Xiao Han, "Honey, what brings you here? I was planning to go to your school tomorrow morning."

Xiao Han was equally shrewd. She instantly switched from her cockfighting demeanor to that of a virtuous wife and loving mother. She walked over, took his arm, and said with a smile, "I suddenly had a craving for your hometown dishes, so I couldn't resist coming over."

"Okay, I'll go to the market to buy groceries now." Li Heng gently stroked her hair, speaking affectionately.

"I'll go to the market with you," Xiao Han said.

Li Hengba couldn't accept it, and happily hummed in agreement.

As he left the hospital and entered the alley, Xiao Han unexpectedly let go of his arm and said, "I'll put my bag in the bedroom. Wait for me here."

Li Heng indeed waited where he was, but the next second he realized: Miss Zhou was still on the second floor...
This this…

That's all, Xiao Han has already gone inside.

Rushing to the second floor, Xiao Han froze at the entrance of the stairwell.

She spotted Zhou Shihe intently watching "Dust Settles" on the sofa at a glance.

Why is Zhou Shihe here all alone?

Have you been here all morning?

Where are the ears of wheat?
Just as Xiao Han was lost in thought, Zhou Shihe, who heard footsteps coming upstairs, turned around and glanced back, then she too was taken aback.

After a brief eye contact, Zhou Shihe put down her manuscript and tidied up the stack of manuscripts on the coffee table. Then she got up and walked towards the stairwell.

Xiao Han stared intently at her, his mind filled with the six words he had seen at Jing'an Temple: "May I win the heart of one person."

Without saying a word, Zhou Shihe slipped through the gap on the side and descended the stairs with light and unhurried steps.

The two women did not exchange a word, but the air in the hallway seemed to freeze.

Zhou Shihe is gone.

Xiao Han stood there for a moment, then changed her mind. Instead of going to the bedroom, she came to the sofa and her gaze fell on a stack of manuscripts.

"My honey is really popular. He even attracted a beauty like Zhou Shihe," Xiao Han thought bitterly.

Xiao Han did not treat Zhou Shihe the same way she treated Teacher Yu.

Because a woman's intuition told her that it was best not to provoke Zhou Shihe before her fate was made public, otherwise Zhou Shihe would be much more difficult to deal with than Yu Shuheng.

She made this judgment because Zhou Shihe had left Building 26 after seeing her, which meant that the other party did not intend to get involved, so she let her leave.

However, Xiao Han knew better than anyone that her man loved beautiful women so much and saw Zhou Shihe every day, so one day he might lose control.

Or perhaps her man had already developed feelings for Zhou Shihe, otherwise Zhou Shihe wouldn't have written those six characters at Jing'an Temple.

What does that red ribbon signify?
This shows that Zhou Shihe's mind is in turmoil; it shows that she is hesitating, wavering, and indecisive...
