1987 My Era

Chapter 650, None of them are easy to mess with.

After thinking it over, Li Heng took a deep breath and made a move.

The sofa was only a dozen steps away from the entrance of the stairwell, but at this moment his legs felt as if they were tied with sandbags, as if they weighed a ton.

What's worse, both Song Yu and Zhou Shihe were staring intently at Li Heng. Their two completely different auras were now in full force, and the two women seemed to be competing with each other, which made the temperature in the living room drop to freezing point and turned the mere ten steps away into a living hell.

This is truly hell on earth!
Under the watchful eyes of the two women, with each step he took, he felt closer to the guillotine, making each step extremely difficult and arduous.

Li Heng kept thinking, what should I do? What should I do?
After much thought, six or seven methods flashed through my mind, but none of them were perfect, and I couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties in a short period of time.

Well, sometimes what you fear most is what happens.
As the old saying goes, those who drown are often the best swimmers. Just as he was trying his best to come up with a better solution, just as he was preparing to improvise, just as he was about to get close to the sofa, he suddenly fell down!

He tripped and fell face-first into the dirt!

She actually tripped and fell in the living room, which she knew best. Her foot hit the sofa, and before she knew it, she was lying face down on the floor.

Damn it, he hadn't fallen in years. He was such a grown man, and to do it today was incredibly unlucky!
Holy crap! Is this some kind of omen?
Is this a warning from God? A warning that he's about to get beaten up? A warning that he should turn around and run away?
With an unconscious "Ouch!", Li Heng's chin hurt terribly from hitting it, but he couldn't care less at the moment. Instead, he braced himself with his hands on the ground and instinctively looked up at the two women on the sofa.

Song Yu still wore a faint smile, but her beautiful eyes held a profound meaning. The woman who had cherished him most in his past life was now unmoved. She stared directly at Li Heng at close range, her face showing no emotion, no pity for him. She was so close, yet she made no attempt to help him up.

So heartless!

That's so heartless, so abnormal!
Song Yu, how could you become like this?

Having failed to gain favor with Song Yu, Li Heng subconsciously looked at Zhou Shihe.

He should have looked away, because once he did, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Zhou Shihe remained expressionless, sitting upright on the sofa and staring at him. Her bright black and white eyes conveyed only one word: coldness!

Miss Zhou also showed no intention of helping him up, leaving him to fend for himself.

Li Heng couldn't help but shudder, suddenly realizing: Could the two women think he was faking it?

Does he think he's faking a fall to gain sympathy?

Heaven and earth bear witness! I'm innocent! If I were faking a fall, it would have happened in the stairwell, and I would have broken my leg.

What's with faking a fall on flat ground? Do you think I'm that tasteless?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room was quite different. On each side of the sofa sat a queen exuding an aura of power, while a man lay sprawled on the floor in the middle.

The man innocently raised his head.

The two women stared at him with deathly intensity, as if watching him perform, as if watching a circus.

The room fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop. No one spoke.

After a brief eye contact, Li Heng forced himself to get up and then naturally plopped down on the sofa next to Song Yu.

His movement instantly broke the deadlock in the living room.

His sitting down instantly stirred the nerves of the two women.

Song Yu smiled, a faint smile on her face and in her eyes. Her temperament was elegant, and she became gentle, showing great satisfaction with Li Heng's attitude and choice.

Zhou Shihe's gaze remained on him, but her eyes were colder than ever before. In an instant, her gaze towards him was extremely complex, containing feelings of loss, grievance, bitterness, being deceived, being abandoned, being neglected, and also a trace of disbelief and a sense of defeat.

She had been proud for 20 years, and her life had been smooth sailing for 20 years, but today she was hit with a rude awakening, and on her most important birthday, she was betrayed.

And it wasn't betrayal by anyone else, but betrayal by the man who had captivated her so much, the man who made her believe she had found love and a future marriage.

At this moment, how ridiculous was his statement, "I fell in love with Miss Zhou at first sight"?

At this moment, how ironic were the sweet words he had once spoken to himself?
At that moment, she became a clown.

At that moment, she felt as if she had been stripped naked and become the target of Song Yu's merciless mockery.

At that moment, the man she fell in love with chose Song Yu, and she became a homeless stray dog. How tragic!
At this moment, the battle between her and Song Yu was decided. Song Yu won, and she lost, and lost completely.

She thought that with her good personal qualities and family background, and with the fusion of her soul with his music and his love for her, she could at least compete with Song Yu. But reality proved to be far more cruel.

At that moment, her confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

The moment Li Heng sat down next to Song Yu, Zhou Shihe trembled slightly, her breath almost stopped, her hands gripped her trouser legs tightly, and her face turned ashen.

actually…

Actually.

Li Heng may seem to have many paths in front of him, but in reality, there is only one path. He has no choice but to choose Song Yu.

Song Yu was his love in his past life, his white moonlight in two lifetimes, and the woman he owed the most in his previous life. She traveled all the way from the capital to celebrate his birthday. If Zhou Shihe were chosen at this time, what would Song Yu think?
Given Song Yu's temperament, she wouldn't think twice; she would turn around and leave him, leaving him completely for the rest of her life and disappearing from his world.

When he chose to pursue Xiao Han in Shanghai during the college entrance examination, he dealt Song Yu a fatal blow.

If he dares to choose another woman in front of her today, does he really think that just because someone is nice, he can be bullied forever? Does he really think Song Yu has no temper?

Song Yu, Xiao Han, and Zi Jin are his anchors in this life. If he loses any one of them, he will not forgive himself. Then there will be no point in him living this life again. So, he seems to have many choices, but he only has one left.

The victor, Song Yu, finally spoke, breaking the deadlock with a warm and caring question: "Is your knee alright?"

His knee hit the coffee table, it fucking hurt terribly, but Li Heng shook his head like nothing had happened, "No..."

However, before he could finish speaking, after only uttering one word, Zhou Shihe on the opposite sofa suddenly stood up and walked towards the stairwell.

Li Heng instinctively reached out his right hand and grabbed Miss Zhou's hand.

But Zhou Shihe completely ignored him, turned her head away without looking back, forcefully shook off his hand, and strode away.

At this moment, Zhou Shihe did not walk lightly as before, but rather moved like a whirlwind, her delicate body filled with strength, possessing an indescribable beauty.

but.

However, this carefree attitude only lasted a few breaths. As she descended the stairs, as she was out of sight of the two people upstairs, and as she reached the first floor, Zhou Shihe, who had just been enjoying herself, suddenly became listless and stopped moving.

Or rather, she had exhausted all her energy and spirit, and was unable to move or take another step.

Zhou Shihe leaned against the wall, her delicate little mouth clenched tightly together, her right hand unconsciously covering her chest, and she looked up helplessly at the ceiling. Soon after, tears silently streamed from the corners of her eyes.

Tears streamed down her face like a fountain, flowing uncontrollably...

She had to be strong in front of others, dared not cry, and could not cry. She dared not show the slightest weakness, and could not let her rival see her vulnerable side, nor did she want Song Yu to laugh at her.

But at this moment, she felt so powerless, and all she could feel was a sharp, throbbing pain in her heart.

Having lived for 20 years, she had never known what heartbreak felt like. But today, she knew; she experienced it firsthand. The sweetness of his pursuit was now a thousand times more bitter.

Time ticked by, and before I knew it, so much time had passed...

When her cheeks were streaked with tears, when her collarbone was soaked with tears, when her collar was stained with tears, suddenly, a surge of strength arose in Zhou Shihe's frail body, and a burst of vitality burst forth in her blood. Unwilling to give up, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and resolutely turned away.

She turned around, but didn't open the door or walk into the yard.

She turned around, went back up the stairs, and walked towards the second floor.

Her steps were small, but each step was firm.

Hearing footsteps coming from the stairwell, Li Heng and Song Yu, who were chatting on the sofa in the living room, stopped and looked over at the same time.

When Song Yu saw Zhou Shihe, who had returned, she was taken aback and didn't understand why he had come back.
Feeling guilty, Li Heng reacted a beat faster, softly calling out, "Shihe, you..."

Just like before, he was interrupted by Zhou Shihe before he could finish speaking.

Zhou Shihe arrived in front of him with perfect aim, stopped, stared at him for two seconds with tears in her eyes, and then suddenly bent down, bringing her head close to his face with incredible speed, and kissed him.

That's right!
You read that right! To Li Heng's utter bewilderment and Song Yu's astonishment, Zhou Shihe bent down and kissed him.

A cherry-red lip print was placed on Li Heng's lips.

After the dragonfly lightly touched the water, a loud sound followed immediately.

"Snapped!"

A clear, sharp sound, followed by a slap!

From the kiss to the slap, everything happened too fast, everything was beyond the normal human reflexes, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The kiss was initiated by Zhou Shihe. It was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative with a man; it was completely unprecedented.

The slap was delivered by Zhou Shihe, but it was unclear how many times she had slapped the man before her. This time, however, she did it with resentment.

Zhou Shihe kissed him because she loved him.

Zhou Shihe slapped him because he betrayed her and deceived her true feelings.

At the same time, it was also a subtle way of telling Song Yu that I love this man very much, that I can hit this man, and that there would be no consequences.

After the kiss and the slap, Zhou Shihe immediately stood up straight, then turned around again and walked towards the stairwell with lightning speed. She came and went without a trace, as if she had planned it perfectly. Not a single movement was superfluous, and there was no hesitation or delay.

The living room was deathly quiet!

Li Heng and Song Yu were left staring blankly at her retreating figure, seemingly still in a daze.

Or rather, the two of them never expected that the charming Zhou Shihe, the elegant and graceful Zhou Shihe, would have such a hidden trick up her sleeve, catching them completely off guard with this unexpected move.

Reaching the entrance to the stairwell, Zhou Shihe withdrew her right foot, paused for a moment, and then turned halfway around. With a calm expression, she looked at Song Yu and suddenly asked, "Do you dare to go to the treacherous banquet next door?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yu finally came to her senses, smiled calmly, and asked in return, "Can I bring my family?"
