1987 My Era

Chapter 655,

After leaving Lushan Village, Li Heng and Song Yu met many alumni on the campus paths.

When a strange woman, no less imposing than the King of Fudan University, appeared beside Li Heng, the alumni were stunned and secretly scrutinized the two with suspicious eyes.

However, Song Yu was no longer holding his hand at this point.

The reason was simple: she knew that Xiao Han was his official girlfriend in Shanghai, so in order to protect his reputation, Song Yu automatically pulled her hand away from his.

Now, Song Yu has recovered from the strange state of competing with Zhou Shihe for attention and has returned to her Buddhist-like state. She knows that holding hands with him may be beneficial to the development of her relationship, but she prioritizes the big picture and his career and future.

As for whether the events in Lushan Village today will spread to the outside world.
Song Yu had considered it. But then she thought that since Li Heng and Zhou Shihe were willing to invite those classmates and friends to participate, they must trust each other implicitly.

Moreover, there's also Yu Shuheng, who has connections everywhere.

These are things she doesn't need to worry about too much.

Even so, their intimate act of walking side by side aroused the curiosity of many Fudan University students. Before long, the whole school was buzzing with the news that a beautiful girl who could rival Zhou Shihe was dating a famous writer.
The prefix for "gossip" is like this, but as for the rest, dozens of versions emerged in less than half an hour, with many different opinions.

For a time, Li Heng was no longer in the martial arts world, but legends about him were everywhere.

Song Yu noticed the unusual behavior of the students by the roadside, but she was already used to it and didn't react much. Instead, she asked, "I heard Zhang Zhiyong has a child?"

Li Heng replied, "Yes, Lao Yong's child was born at the end of April, and is now over a month old."

Song Yu raised her right wrist to check her watch and said, "We still have time, let's go visit some people."

"Okay," Li Heng readily agreed.

Because they were going to see their child, the two first went to Wujiaochang, bought some gifts at a department store, and then specially bought a red envelope.

She asked, "How much should I give as a gift for the child's first meeting?"

Li Heng said, "You're still a student and haven't earned your own money yet, so you don't need to give me a red envelope."

Song Yu shook her head: "Zhang Zhiyong is your childhood friend, we can't skimp on this red envelope."

Li Heng said, "Since that's the case, then just give me a little bit, it's just a token of your appreciation."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

As Li Heng and Song Yu passed by, Li Guang, sitting in a braised food shop in a corner of Wujiaochang, exclaimed with his mouth agape, "My goodness! The woman next to Brother Heng is unbelievably beautiful! Who is she? Where is she from? I've never heard of such a stunning beauty in Shanghai's university circles before!"

Wei Xiaozhu and Bai Wanying, who had just returned, looked at each other but remained silent.

Even the usually taciturn Zhang Bing was unusually curious and asked Bai Wanying, "Didn't you, Xiaozhu, and Dai Qing go to Lushan Village for Shihe's birthday party at noon? Didn't you see that girl from earlier?"

Li Guang belatedly realized what was happening and jumped up to ask, "Oh right! You guys are going to Heng Ge's birthday party later, don't tell us you don't know her, okay?"

Bai Wanying said, "I saw it, but I can't say anything?"

Li Guang pressed further, "Why can't you say?"

Bai Wanying said, "Xiaozhu and I only knew that he was Li Heng's classmate, and we didn't know anything more, so we didn't ask any further questions."

Li Guang scratched his head and asked Wei Xiaozhu, "Beautiful Wei, is that really true?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled and nodded: "Don't overthink it, Xiao Han is here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanying, Dai Qing, Zhang Bing, and Li Guang followed Wei Xiaozhu's gaze and saw Xiao Han leading Zhang Haiyan into the department store.

Dai Qing said, "What a coincidence. If Xiao Han had arrived two minutes earlier, she would have run into Li Heng."

Upon seeing Xiao Han, Li Guang and Zhang Bing's doubts vanished, and they didn't think much of it. After all, in their eyes, Xiao Han was a beauty far beyond anything they had ever encountered, and they didn't think that Master Heng would be so foolish as to be two-timing.

Okay, Li Guang and Zhang Bing, or rather, most people at Fudan University these days, only know that the relationship between Li Heng, Xiao Han, and Mai Sui is unpredictable, without considering the other girls involved.

If Song Yu, who had just passed by, hadn't been so stunning, the honest Zhang Bing wouldn't have asked a single question.

But Bai Wanying, Wei Xiaozhu, and Dai Qing thought differently.

As they were leaving the braised food shop, Dai Qing suddenly said, "Have you noticed? Li Heng is very special to Song Yu."

Wei Xiaozhu asked, "What do you mean?"

Dai Qing said, "I usually pay quite a bit of attention to him. Whether it's Xiao Han, Mai Sui, or Teacher Yu, Li Heng cherishes them all, but he looks at Song Yu with even more affection."

How to put it... the way Li Heng looked at Song Yu was like a big child seeing candy for the first time, absolutely treasuring her.

Bai Wanying chimed in, "I felt it too."

Wei Xiaozhu recalled the events of the day, pondered for a moment, and said, "We all have a blind spot. Perhaps Song Yu is Li Heng's blind spot."

Upon hearing "blind spot," the three women exchanged glances, then tacitly turned their gazes away, refusing to ask each other who the blind spot in their hearts was.
After a while, Dai Qing asked, "Who do you think will win in the future, Shihe or Song Yu?"

Wei Xiaozhu pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "It's hard to say who will win. Logically speaking, if Li Heng prioritizes his career, Shihe has a better chance of winning."

But as you've seen today, it's clear that Song Yu holds a very special place in Li Heng's heart. Neither Teacher Yu nor Aunt Shen could shake her position, and neither could Shi He.

Bai Wanying, however, had a different opinion: "Song Yu won because of time. She met Li Heng earlier and was probably the first person to enter Li Heng's heart."

However, Shihe isn't without a chance to turn things around. In terms of looks and temperament, the two are evenly matched, each with their own strengths, and neither has a clear advantage. But don't forget, there are still two years of university left. If Shihe seizes these two years, the outcome will truly be unpredictable.

Thinking of Shihe's talent and charm, even Wei Xiaozhu, who is also a great beauty, felt a sense of inferiority.

Dai Qing neither agreed nor denied this view, but simply remarked: "If it weren't for Teacher Yu, I think Shihe's chances of winning would be at least 20% higher."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanying and Wei Xiaozhu exchanged a glance, instantly understanding Qingqing's underlying meaning: without Teacher Yu's protection of Li Heng's career and reputation, Li Heng would undoubtedly not be living so comfortably, and his affair with multiple women might have already been reported in the newspapers. The Zhou family's influence is irreplaceable; most men, after careful consideration, would be much more likely to choose Shihe.

The three women also went into the department store to buy things.

After seeing Xiao Han pick out some snacks that Li Heng liked, pay the bill, and leave, Dai Qing said, "I wonder if Xiao Han, who always has such a smiling face, is a formidable character? Will she get into a fight with Song Yu and Shi He tonight?"

Bai Wanying watched Xiao Han's retreating figure and analyzed, "In the competition with Song Yu, to be able to seduce Li Heng to Shanghai, Xiao Han is certainly not as kind as she appears; she must have extraordinary abilities. Perhaps her scheming is deeper than we imagine." Hearing this, Dai Qing, unusually, felt a lingering fear and said with lingering apprehension, "Luckily, I'm not pretty enough, so he didn't fancy me. Otherwise, if I had become his confidante, let alone enjoy love, just thinking about facing these women gives me a headache. I feel like I'm no match for them at all."

Bai Wanying said, "Don't underestimate yourself. If you're really in that environment, certain abilities of a person will naturally be passively stimulated. Just like in the student council, I don't believe that the student council president is a docile little lamb who can rise to the position."

When her friend called her out, Dai Qing simply smiled and didn't argue. She was indeed a very ambitious person, and her biggest goal was to achieve something significant and leapfrog her social class.

Wei Xiaozhu, however, had a different perspective: "Everyone's destiny is different. There are advantages to competing, and there are mysteries to not competing. Just like the ears of wheat, she is still favored even without competing. Perhaps in the future, Li Heng, who wants to relax, will prefer to live with her because there will be no burden."

...

the other side.

When Li Heng and Song Yu arrived at Chunhua Noodle Shop with bags of gifts, they happened to run into the dim-witted man who had just left home.

Upon suddenly bumping into him, Zhang Zhiyong immediately ran over and gave Li Heng a big hug, throwing a punch at his chest and spitting as he did so: "Damn it! I was just planning to go to Lushan Village to celebrate your birthday, what are you doing here?"

Li Heng pulled Song Yu aside and said with a smile, "She wants to see your child."

Of all the women around Li Heng, Song Yu and Zhou Shihe were the two most feared by him. He immediately bowed and scraped, saying in a serious tone, "Hello, sister-in-law, welcome, sister-in-law, please come in."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiyong hurriedly found the cleanest stool in the shop.

Li Heng: "..."

Song Yu glanced around the noodle shop, then walked gracefully towards Liu Chunhua, who was holding a child. She first slipped a red envelope into the child's pocket, then smiled and started playing with the child.

Liu Chunhua glanced at the bulging red envelope and wanted to politely refuse, but when she saw the dimwit waving his hand frantically behind Li Heng's back, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Surprisingly, this baby, who was usually very shy and would cry if a stranger held her, surprisingly let Song Yu hold her and stared at her with her little eyes darting around.

Zhang's mother immediately clicked her tongue in amazement: "It's really strange, Xiao Heng can't even hold her, but you can, my daughter."

Song Yu was very happy.

Li Heng jokingly remarked, "Such a young child already knows how to be picky; she's quite the clever one. Luckily, she's a girl."

Song Yu glanced at him with a smile, as if to say: If we're talking about being picky, who in this world is pickier than you?
Li Heng kept his eyes down, pretending not to understand her meaning, and wandered around the store on his own.

Taking advantage of a moment when they were alone, Liu Chunhua asked Zhang Zhiyong, "Song Yu hasn't earned any money yet, is it okay to accept a red envelope from her?"

Zhang Zhiyong gave her a sly look and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law Song is no different from the others. I've always treated her as my wife from the very beginning. From now on, all my brother's money will belong to her, so don't be polite with her."

Liu Chunhua's eyes widened as she asked, "What about Xiao Han? And... what about Mai Sui?"

Clearly, after running her shop near the entrance of Fudan University for more than six months, Liu Chunhua had heard some rumors about Li Heng.

Zhang Zhiyong didn't answer, he just chuckled.

After spending about 20 minutes at the noodle shop, Li Heng and Song Yu left and headed to the vegetable market.

There was also a simpleton among them.

When the three arrived, they found Sun Manning, Ye Ning, and Chen Xiaoyu already waiting. The three girls chatted together, seemingly getting along very well.

The list of dishes to be made and the seasonings needed for dinner had already been prepared, and everyone simply purchased them in the order listed.

"Xiao Han is here." Sun Manning whispered in his ear while they were buying the rooster.

Li Heng wasn't surprised that his cunning wife was coming. "You saw her?"

Sun Manning said, "When I was waiting for you on this side of the road, I saw her enter the school gate with my own eyes."

Li Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Sun Manning asked, "Song Yu and Shi He were arguing so fiercely this morning. If Xiao Han comes over, won't things get completely chaotic? Are you sure they won't start fighting?"

To be honest, before this happened, Sun Manning would never have believed that the usually calm and collected Song Yu and the proud and arrogant Shi He would fight over a man.

But reality is just that cruel and absurd.

If someone were to come and tell her that Xiao Han, Shi He, and Song Yu had gotten into a fight, Sun Manning would believe it to some extent.

Li Heng was very troubled and secretly prayed that his cunning wife would be more stable, otherwise he might not be able to handle her when she started to use her tricks.

Because he was worried about Xiao Han, and also because there was a Miss Zhou in Lushan Village, fearing that the two women might accidentally get into a fight, Li Heng was only focused on getting home as soon as possible, and basically skipped the small things like haggling. Fortunately, the vegetable sellers all knew him, and they settled on a fixed price, so they didn't rip him off too badly.

In less than half an hour, the group headed towards Lushan Village with bags and packages of various dishes.

As soon as he entered the alley, Li Heng heard the sound of a piano and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that Miss Zhou was practicing the piano and there was absolutely no way she would run into her scheming wife, he wasn't worried about the two women causing trouble.

However, his heart only relaxed for a moment before it immediately tightened again.

At this moment, Xiao Han was standing in the courtyard of building number 26, staring blankly at the ginkgo tree that had completely turned yellow and died. Hearing a noise in the alley, she turned her head to look.

With just one glance, the alley fell silent.

Sun Manning, Ye Ning, and Zhang Zhiyong instinctively stopped in their tracks and did not enter the courtyard.

Zhang Haiyan, standing in the courtyard, stared at Song Yu in astonishment. Although she had heard rumors of Li Heng's affection for Song Yu back in high school, the fact that the rumors had become reality was still hard to believe.

Zhang Haiyan thought to herself: These are Song Yu and Xiao Han, the two beauties of No. 1 Middle School, and there's also Mai Sui. Li Heng, where did you get such good fortune?

Chen Xiaoyu glanced at Xiao Han, then at Li Heng, and finally at Song Yu, wondering in bewilderment: What the heck is this? Could this incredibly charming girl be another of Li Heng's confidantes? Then what about my Song Yu?
After a trip to Shanghai, Chen Xiaoyu's worldview was about to explode. For the first time, she felt that she couldn't find a partner who was too handsome or too talented, because she couldn't keep him under her thumb.

Their eyes met, and Xiao Han smiled sweetly, "Mrs. Song, it's been a long time."
