1987 My Era

Chapter 647 The Two Kings Stab Each Other in the Back

They said they wanted to get rid of Chen Xiaoyu, an outsider, and they immediately took action.

Zhou Shihe is a person with strong execution ability. She immediately started by analyzing the limited environmental factors to find the most plausible excuse, and then asked Chen Xiaoyu, "What is this classmate's name?"

Chen Xiaoyu was a little cautious now because Zhou Shihe had just casually stabbed her best friend Lao Song with a knife. "My name is Chen Xiaoyu."

Zhou Shihe asked, "Did you also study at Peking University?"

Chen Xiaoyu nodded, wondering why this woman was probing into her. What was she up to?

But the next second, Chen Xiaoyu wanted to curse.

Zhou Shihe said gently, "The girl you just pushed over is called Bai Wanying. She's a very good friend of Li Heng. It might rain outside. Could you go and look after her for me?"

Chen Xiaoyu's eyes widened, thinking to herself: You want me to take care of someone? Are you kidding me! Am I an outsider? Am I a guest? How dare you ask me to do this? Didn't you see I've only drunk a little more than half of my tea?

Chen Xiaoyu wasn't stupid; she knew this seemingly delicate woman was ruthless and wanted to get rid of her so she could be alone with Lao Song.

Thinking this, Chen Xiaoyu looked at Song Yu with some worry, afraid that Song Yu was too kind and would be bullied.

At the same time, she rolled up her sleeves, as if asking her best friend: "Old Song, want to get hammered? Now let's have two hammers on one, hammer away as much as you want, we can't let her get too arrogant!"

She felt that since she couldn't outwit the man surnamed Zhou with words, she should just take action instead of arguing, lest she have too many unresolved issues and get herself driven crazy by this vixen.

Song Yu clearly understood what the other person was thinking, and said to Chen Xiaoyu, "Bai Wanying is not available, so you go and help take care of her. I'll come down in a bit."

Well, since Old Song had said so, Chen Xiaoyu had no choice but to give up her idea of ​​beating up Zhou Shihe and reluctantly went downstairs.

As the footsteps fading away downstairs faded into the distance, Zhou Shihe calmly said to Song Yu, "The house is indeed rather simply decorated. Please make yourself at home. It's going to rain, so I'll go help Mai Sui bring in the laundry."

Zhou Shihe acted and spoke like the lady of the house, very casually, as if this were her own home.

Song Yu didn't stand on ceremony. She walked to the sofa and sat down. Then she watched Zhou Shihe help Mai Sui collect her clothes, watched Zhou Shihe go into the second bedroom, watched Zhou Shihe go into the master bedroom to close the window, and finally watched Zhou Shihe open the study door and close the window inside.

After observing carefully for a while, Song Yu discovered that Zhou Shihe's words and actions were not pretentious, but rather showed that she was genuinely familiar with the family.

Thinking of this, Song Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed that her guess was correct: Li Heng must have fallen hopelessly in love with Zhou Shihe, and their relationship was far more complicated than she had thought. Otherwise, the proud and arrogant Zhou Shihe would not have treated Li Heng this way.

Otherwise, Zhou Shihe wouldn't have shown off her daily skills in front of me.

Song Yu understood that the other party was intentionally showing her these everyday things, hoping to discourage her from taking the plunge.

Even the heavens seemed to be cooperating with Zhou Shihe; it really started raining outside.

The rain was light, a drizzle, but very sticky, hanging in the sky like dense dragon's beard candy.

After doing all this, Zhou Shihe returned to the living room, sat down opposite the sofa, and said, "I'm sorry, we're guests, but I've made you sit alone for so long."

Song Yu smiled beautifully, "It's nothing. You're so thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of Li Heng and Mai Sui."

Your words, "A guest is a guest," are truly appreciated.

I returned the favor with a "substitute".

Nobody is a pushover.

Both sides spoke calmly, but their words were quite heated, each treating the place as their own territory.

Or rather, they treated Li Heng as one of their own.

Or rather, from this moment on, both women expressed a certain firm determination to each other: Li Heng would be their man in the future, and could only be theirs.

The two women stared at each other intently, their gazes sharp and unwavering, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The world seemed to stand still.

No one spoke for a moment.

The stalemate continued for an unknown amount of time when a voice suddenly rang out from outside the window—it was Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother greeted her, "Teacher Yu, you're back."

Yu Shuheng, carrying a pile of tedious daily necessities, smiled and nodded at Zhou's mother at the entrance of Building 27: "Here to celebrate Shihe's birthday?"

Zhou's mother smiled and said yes, then extended an invitation: "Teacher Yu, do you have time today? The food in the pot is almost ready, come over and have lunch together later."

Yu Shuheng said, "Okay, I'll put the things back and come right away."

Bai Wanying abruptly interrupted, "Teacher, why did you bring all your things back from the office?"

It's no wonder Bai Wanying said that; she had been to the English teacher's office before, and she recognized things like Teacher Yu's pen holder and desk lamp.

Yu Shuheng glanced down at the cardboard box she was holding and smiled, "I resigned, so I brought these back."

Zhou's mother asked in surprise: "Resigned? Shuheng, you resigned from your university teaching position?"

Yu Shuheng nodded again: "I have too many things to do and can't handle them all, so I resigned from my teaching job."

Because it was at the end of an alley, this corner was particularly quiet, and the conversation of the people outside drifted into the house without being missed.

It drifted into Song Yu and Zhou Shihe's ears.

Upon hearing that Yu Shuheng had resigned from her university teaching position, Zhou Shihe instinctively pouted slightly, subconsciously thinking that the other party might really be ending this relationship, leaving little time for the others.

Song Yu also thought of these things.

Once the conversation outside had subsided, the atmosphere in the living room shifted once more. Zhou Shihe finally broke the silence by asking, "Were you and Li Heng also high school classmates?"

Song Yu nodded gently and said yes.

Zhou Shihe asked, "Are Manning, Maisui, and you all in the same class?"

Song Yu said, "We were in the same class in the first year of high school, and we weren't separated when we chose between arts and sciences."

Finally, it was confirmed. Sui Sui and Manning had been hiding it from her all along. This thought flashed through Zhou Shihe's mind, and then she asked gently, "How were his grades in high school?"

This "he" naturally refers to Li Heng.

Song Yu said, "Li Heng's grades in high school were quite good, usually ranking among the top in the whole school."

Zhou Shihe asked, "I heard he had the opportunity to go to Peking University, but he came to Shanghai instead?"

Song Yu said, "That's right. But his college entrance exam score was one point below the Peking University cutoff."

Zhou Shihe asked in a friendly tone, "Can you tell me about his high school days?"

Song Yu asked, "What aspect would you like to hear about?"

Zhou Shihe thought for a moment, then calmly uttered two words: "Feelings".

Song Yu was somewhat surprised, yet not entirely. She then said meaningfully, "His romantic history is quite rich, perhaps even richer than you imagine."

Zhou Shihe asked, "Abundant?"

Song Yu smiled.

Zhou Shihe asked, "Between you and him, who pursued whom?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "I don't know how to pursue men."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shihe smiled slightly, "Me too."

They had barely managed to have a few peaceful words, but a simple "I don't know how to pursue men" and "Me neither" immediately turned the situation into a tense standoff.

Song Yu's words indicate that it was Li Heng who pursued me.

Zhou Shihe followed up with an equally defiant hint: He's pursuing me too.

The two women looked at each other, both sensing that the other was not someone to be trifled with, and also realizing that they held a special place in Li Heng's heart.

After all, countless outstanding women surrounded Li Heng, but only these two were actively pursued by him. Xiao Han could only be considered half of them. After all, Xiao Han had a crush on Li Heng for a full six years, and their relationship was more of a natural progression, with each woman teasing the other.

If we consider their past lives, then Xiao Han was the one who pursued Li Heng; in his previous life, he only pursued Song Yu.

After staring at each other for a long time, just as the atmosphere around them was about to solidify, Zhou Shihe asked directly, "Do you know Xiao Han?"

Song Yu replied, "I know."

Zhou Shihe asked curiously, "In Shanghai, Xiao Han is Li Heng's official girlfriend. Everyone knows that. Have you heard about it?"

Fudan University's top leader is at it again.

Song Yu put down her teacup and said only two words: "I know."

Zhou Shihe looked at him strangely, and after a long while said, "I admire you very much."

Why do I admire her?

I admire the other party for tolerating Li Heng's philandering.

Of course, it also contains a hidden sarcasm: with such good conditions, she can't control a man and has to share him with other women.

It was as if he was saying to Song Yu: Since you can't control it, then step back and let me take over.

Zhou Shihe used the gentlest tone to stab him with the bloodiest knife.

Song Yu looked directly into the other person's eyes and said calmly, "There's an old saying in our area: 'It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.' There are too many underlings on the roadside. I'm kind-hearted and can't bear to see them go hungry, so I often throw them some scraps of food."

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate.

Zhou Shihe subtly mocked her for not being able to control a man, forcing her to step down and give way.

Song Yu directly labeled Zhou Shihe as a "little devil." Little devils are troublesome and give people headaches, but they are still little devils and will never amount to anything.

Song Yu retorted forcefully: "It's already a great favor that they kindly fed you some scraps to satisfy your cravings. You'd better know when to stop."

Well, after this round of verbal sparring, the two women are no longer just on the verge of exchanging blows; they're almost at the point of bloodshed and a fight to the death.

Just as the temperature inside the house was rising rapidly, and the air in the living room was becoming suffocating, Sun Manning, Ye Ning, Wei Xiaozhu, and Dai Qing arrived.

The four of them were carrying several bags, including two birthday cakes.

Bai Wanying had been keeping a close eye on the movements in building number 26, but unfortunately she couldn't see what was happening inside, so she could only worry inwardly. When she saw Sun Manning and the others, she immediately went up to them and asked, "Manning, you graduated from Shaoshi No. 1 High School. Do you know Song Yu?"

While chatting with Chen Xiaoyu earlier, Bai Wanying had already extracted Song Yu's basic information from her, which is why she asked this question.

"what?"

Sun Manning exclaimed, "That name sounds familiar. I met her a few times in high school. Why are you bringing up Song Yu?"

Bai Wanying found it amusing: "Have you really only met him a few times?"

Sun Manning couldn't let anything slip, but she still felt something was off. "Hey Bai, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say, or I'll shove a lump of cloth in your mouth."

Because of their good relationship and frequent interactions, Sun Manning tried to get away with it in this way.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wanying dropped a bombshell: "Song Yu is here."

"Huh? What?"

Sun Manning nearly jumped up in shock and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Wanying pointed to the small building next door, number 26: "Song Yu is here, she's in the small building next door. But Li Heng isn't home right now, you should go and check on her."

Sun Manning was stunned and asked incredulously, "Really?"

Bai Wanying said, "Of course it's true, otherwise how would I know the name Song Yu?"

That makes a lot of sense. Sun Manning subconsciously glanced back at Building No. 27, thinking to herself, "I've lied to Shihe several times. I hope Shihe and Song Yu don't run into each other. That would be a real mess."

No, I need to calm Song Yu down first!
Thinking this, Sun Manning didn't listen to what Bai Wanying was going to say next, and hurriedly ran towards the small building at No. 26 next door.

Originally, Bai Wanying wanted to tell her that Shihe was greeting Song Yu next door.

Bai Wanying's purpose in bringing Sun Manning over was simply because she was worried that Zhou Shihe and Song Yu would not get along, and that the situation would be difficult to manage.

Meng and Jiao are inseparable. Ye Ning also wanted to go, but Bai Wanying stopped her: "Ningning, you'd better not go."

Ye Ning turned around, put her hands on her hips, and asked, "Why can't I go? Does Song Yu have three heads and six arms? Can she eat people?"

Bai Wanying smiled and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Just trust me this once."

At this moment, Wei Xiaozhu suddenly interjected, "Who is Song Yu?"

Before Bai Wanying could speak, Chen Xiaoyu said, "Oh! You don't know Song Yu? She's Li Heng's girlfriend? Today is Li Heng's birthday, and we came all the way from Peking University."

Don't blame Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing for not knowing Song Yu; it's because they just went to get the cake. Furthermore, Wei Sisi is tight-lipped and hasn't publicized the matter.

Wei Sisi and Tang Dailing believed that the affair between Lao Li and Song Yu couldn't be kept secret forever, especially since Song Yu had come all this way. However, they felt that even if rumors spread, they shouldn't come from their own mouths. As for others, they couldn't control them.

Hearing that another girlfriend had appeared, and from Peking University at that? Wei Xiaozhu and Dai Qing looked at each other, their minds blank.

The two women had a thought: Just how many girlfriends does Li Heng have?
Xiao Han, Mai Sui, Yu Shuheng, and now another one?
Dai Qing couldn't help but ask Bai Wanying, "Pretty?"

Bai Wanying nodded: "Very beautiful, stunning."

Ye Ning retorted, "Very beautiful, stunning. How stunning? Is she as beautiful as my Sui Sui?"

Bai Wanying said, "Standing next to Shihe, it's hard to tell who is better."

Ye Ning's mouth gaped open, speechless.

Dai Qingxin clenched her fist and fell silent.

Bai Wanying has always had a very good reputation among her friends, and what she says is basically the truth.

Wei Xiaozhu asked astutely, "I didn't find Shihe in the kitchen just now. Is Shihe next door?"

Bai Wanying gave her a knowing look and answered cryptically, "Yes. Shihe is receiving Song Yu on behalf of Li Heng."

With what seemed like an ordinary sentence, Bai Wanying revealed all the current crises to Wei Xiaozhu.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaozhu felt a pang of worry for Li Heng and stopped Ye Ning, who was about to go next door, saying, "Ye Ning, can you do me a favor?"

Ye Ning asked, "What kind of help?"

Wei Xiaozhu said, "Come with me."

With that, Wei Xiaozhu entered Building No. 27.

Ye Ning glanced at Bai Wanying, then at Wei Xiaozhu, muttered something, and followed after her.

...

Talk about the other side.

Sun Manning didn't listen to Bai Wanying's words and rushed into Building No. 26.

The girl's voice preceded her arrival; as she climbed the stairs, she called out loudly, "Song Yu, my dear Song Yu! I've missed you so much! Haha, you actually came..."

Sun Manning abruptly stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

She stood at the entrance of the second-floor hallway, looking at Zhou Shihe with a look of utter disbelief.

Why are Shi and Shihe here too?

I've lied to you before, haven't I?
This... this...

Sun Manning, already feeling guilty, became even more guilty!
