1987 My Era

Chapter 659, Ruthless

Thinking of the series of events that happened today, the various impacts on Miss Zhou, and the various possible situations he would face later, Li Heng sighed inwardly, his feet feeling incredibly heavy as he walked up the stairs.

Squeak, squeak...

I climbed the wooden stairs step by step until I finally reached the end.

Li Heng stood at the entrance of the building and looked around, but did not find anyone in the living room.

The shower door was open, there was no sound of running water, and no one was inside.

Glancing at the empty balcony, then at the damp clothes that had just been hung out to dry, and then at the bedroom with the door closed, Li Heng walked straight into the bedroom without thinking.

Standing at the bedroom door, he held his breath and listened to what was happening inside.

But in the end, I didn't hear anything?
About ten seconds later, he gripped the doorknob with his right hand and twisted it forcefully.

The secret passage was alright; the door wasn't locked from the inside and slowly opened.

Li Heng pushed the door open a little and immediately saw Zhou Shihe.

At this moment, Wang, the Fudan University student, was sitting dignifiedly in front of the dressing table, with a dry towel tied on her head, wearing a light brown dress, quietly looking at herself in the makeup mirror.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, she raised her eyebrows slightly, then returned to her original expression.

Li Heng stood at the door, watching her back. He felt a pressure inexplicably, as if the air was suffocating and the two of them were so close yet so far apart.

After a moment of stalemate, he moved, lifting his right foot and stepping into the bedroom.

Three steps, two steps, one step.

Li Heng finally stood to the left of the vanity mirror, leaning against the six-door cabinet, and said, "Comrade Shihe, dinner will be served soon."

Zhou Shihe remained seated in her chair, silent.

After waiting a while without receiving a reply, Li Heng reminded him again: "Everyone is waiting for you."

Zhou Shihe remained unresponsive, like a statue.

His gaze fell on her profile. After a moment's thought, Li Heng reached out his right hand, intending to grab her wrist.

Just as his right hand was about to touch her body, Zhou Shihe suddenly spoke gently: "Can I ask you three questions?"

Li Heng's gaze shifted to her reflection in the mirror: "You say it."

Zhou Shihe asked, "Was that 'brother-in-law' you heard on the phone Song Yu's sister, or someone else?"

Before he could reply, Zhou Shihe met his gaze through the makeup mirror and said solemnly, "I want to hear the truth."

really.

As expected, this question would be asked; Li Heng had guessed it on his way here.

For a fleeting moment, he wanted to blurt out a lie. But he quickly suppressed that thought. He knew that the truth would eventually come out.

In the past, Zhou Shihe hesitated to confess her feelings to Li Heng because of her reserve, the presence of Mai Sui, and other reasons. She did not investigate Li Heng, did not deliberately inquire about his basic situation, and disdained to do such a thing. She left everything to fate.

Now, if she wanted to know the truth, it would be very easy for her family to do so, given their influence.

Thinking of this, Li Heng forced himself to answer truthfully: "That voice is not Song Yu's sister. It is Chen Zijin's sister."

As he finished speaking, he secretly observed her expression.

But Miss Zhou was extremely well-mannered, and he didn't notice anything amiss.

Seeing that she was listening, Li Heng continued, "Zijin and I are from the same place, and we went to junior high school together. Then, something happened during the summer vacation after our second year of high school, and she was forced to go to Beijing..."

Since he was being frank, he simply explained the whole story.

As he gradually explained the situation, Zhou Shihe gripped her trousers with both hands, pursed her lower lip tightly, and abruptly interrupted: "You two had sex three years ago?"

Li Heng paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Zhou Shihe's voice was devoid of emotion, "Chen Zijin was your first woman?"

Li Heng said, "Yes."

Zhou Shihe's heart pounded violently several times, but she finally suppressed her inner turmoil and said, "Continue."

Li Heng didn't hide anything and told Zi Jin about his situation from his senior year of high school until now.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shihe slowly closed her long eyelashes, and after a long while, she whispered, "Li Heng, you have let down such a good woman. You are a bastard."

Her voice was very soft, like a floating feather, yet it carried a hint of disappointment.

Li Heng remained silent and did not refute.

As time passed, Zhou Shihe parted her red lips slightly and asked her second question: "What is the relationship between Chen Zijin and Xiao Han? What is the relationship between Chen Zijin and Mai Sui and Song Yu? Do they all know each other? Were they all best friends before?"

In the phrase.

Li Heng was speechless and stood there awkwardly.

The guess was confirmed. Zhou Shihe covered her chest with her right hand to keep herself calm.

After a while, she asked her third question without any joy or sorrow: "Besides Chen Zijin, are there any other women?"

Li Heng's eyelids twitched involuntarily; he didn't know how to answer.
Looking directly into his eyes through the makeup mirror, Zhou Shihe asked calmly, "Is Consort Huang also your woman?"

Li Heng wanted to say no, but instead asked, "Why did you think of her?"

Zhou Shihe said calmly, "Because she is beautiful enough, because she is devoted enough to you, because of you..."

She suddenly stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

As she closed her lips, the atmosphere in the bedroom became tense again, sending chills down one's spine.

Li Heng automatically filled in the blanks in her mind: "Because you are lustful enough."

Looking at each other through the mirror, Li Heng knew that since she had thought of Da Qingyi, she couldn't hide it any longer, and it was only a matter of time before she was exposed.

He took the plunge and admitted, "Yes."

Upon hearing that jarring "yes," Zhou Shi, who was usually able to control her emotions, felt a sudden surge of irritation.

I feel more irritable than ever before.

There was a crash!
Suddenly, Zhou Shihe raised her right hand, grabbed a bottle of skincare products from the vanity, and seemed about to smash it on the ground in anger. But when she realized that what she was holding was an expensive serum, she put it back on the table and then grabbed a bottle of facial cleanser.

But the next second, she put down the expensive facial cleanser and grabbed the eye cream next to her.

But imported eye creams from big brands aren't cheap either.

Having received a good upbringing since childhood, and having never broken anything before, she felt a tightness in her chest as she looked at the eye cream in her hand, but in the end, she couldn't bear to break it and put it down again.

At this point, Zhou Shihe, who was almost driven crazy with anger, pouted, let go, pouted again, and then suddenly stood up, lowered her head, turned around and strode out of the bedroom.

Whenever she acted like this, walking with a swagger, it meant she was extremely angry. In the two years they'd known each other, Li Heng had only seen Zhou like this twice.

The first time was this morning, when I chose Song Yu in front of her, she turned around and left, walking with a gust of wind.

The second time is now. When she learned that Huang Zhaoyi was his woman, she turned and left again, walking with a swagger.

In the past, when I kissed and hugged her at the Raffles City Hotel in Singapore, or in the Netherlands, in the music room, or in the library reading room, she never reacted this strongly. Her anger was always superficial, merely an expression of her emotions, and she forgave me shortly afterward.

But today is her 20th birthday.

On this important day, she was furious twice, both times because of him.

Originally, she thought that Mai Sui, Xiao Han, and Yu Shuheng were the limits of his infidelity, and also the limit she could accept. She spent a long time trying to reassure herself. But she never expected that Song Yu would suddenly appear, a Song Yu who could rival her.

Okay, speaking of Song Yu, she had suspected the existence of this woman before, so she wasn't completely unprepared.

So she tried her best to endure it.

And now, this man has once again lowered his standards, stabbing her in the heart twice more.

Chen Zijing, my first love, slept with me 3 years ago. How old was I back then?

Huang Zhaoyi, who is almost 34 years old, is beautiful and charming, but she is 14 years older than him, more than a decade older. How did he convince himself to do it?
Huang Zhaoyi is over 33 years old, and Yu Shuheng is over 26 years old. They are both older women. Are there other older women? Does this man have a unique fetish?
The original three women evolved into six women in one day, reminding her of the opening line of White Deer Plain: Bai Jiaxuan later took pride in having married seven women in his life.

If you include himself, doesn't he have offended exactly seven people now?

She had read "White Deer Plain" five or six times in the past, and every time she saw the first sentence, she always felt something was off. At the time, she thought it was just a literary creation requirement.

Who would have thought it was true?

It turns out the novel has come true; he really did have this wicked idea.

It turns out the novel wasn't fiction; he was writing an autobiography.

He's slept with 3 out of 7 women.

Of the seven women, it was only a matter of time before Teacher Yu and Mai Sui, the remaining two, were already in bed with him and became his real women.
As for Song Yu, and as for myself…

Thinking about this, Zhou Shihe was really angry. She was angry that his love was too cheap, and she was angry at herself for being so weak and giving her heart to him.

It was rare to see Miss Zhou like this. Li Heng instinctively reached out and supported her waist and abdomen, saying softly, "Shihe, listen..."

"Snapped!"

A loud bang, a slap!

Zhou Shihe, whose path was blocked, could not bear to hear his voice. Hearing his voice ignited her anger, and she slapped him mercilessly with her right hand, filled with hatred.

Li Heng was stunned by the beating, staring blankly at her, his head buzzing.

He never imagined that the seemingly frail Miss Zhou would have such strength! One slap almost knocked him unconscious.

"Snapped!"

Before he could react, she raised her right hand again.

Another slap landed on his face, this time on his left cheek.

Chen Zijin and Huang Zhaoyi received two slaps for having two extra women outside.

After she finished hitting him, Zhou Shihe raised her head and stared intently into his eyes, meeting his gaze steadily. She didn't know when it had started, but her eyes were already brimming with tears, a mixture of grievance and resentment.

But she bit her lip tightly, holding back her tears, and faced him with tears welling up in her eyes.

Her eyes seemed to be accusing me: I looked forward to our 20th birthday for so long, I prepared for so long, I personally selected the ingredients, personally cooked the dishes you like, I put aside my pride and fought for you, and I brought out all the passion I had accumulated over the past 20 years to hide it from my mother, but how did you treat me? You turned my 20th birthday into a day I will never forget.

Li Heng's left cheek was burning with pain, but he didn't care about it.

After gazing at each other for a long time, Li Heng, understanding the meaning in her eyes, reached out his hands again apologetically and, despite her fierce resistance, gently embraced her.

At the moment the two bodies came into contact.

The moment she was completely embraced by him.

Zhou Shihe's strength crumbled; she collapsed into his arms, her forehead pressed against his chest, her right hand weakly pounding him again and again, silently, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't dare make a sound, nor did she want him to hear her crying.

All the tears I shed in this life, all the vulnerability I felt, were for him, for this man I both loved and hated.

It was June, the height of summer, and Li Heng's clothes were quickly soaked with tears. He looked down at her with tenderness, watching her thin body tremble slightly.

Her body didn't twitch much, but Li Heng still noticed that she was crying sadly.

At this moment, Li Heng felt as if his heart was being stabbed with needles, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He realized that he was indeed a terrible person.

At the same time, he also understood that the proud and arrogant Miss Zhou might not want to hear his comfort.

Or, hearing his voice would only make her more agitated.

For a moment, he held her tenderly without saying a word.

For a moment, she lay prostrate in his arms, licking her wounds alone.

The bedroom was quiet, extremely quiet.

Time passed by, and just as the two were enjoying their own private world, footsteps came from the stairs outside.

Although the footsteps were very light, so light that Li Heng didn't even notice them.

But Zhou Shihe, a musician highly praised by Wu Yili, possessed perfect pitch and an unparalleled sensitivity and ability to distinguish various sounds in nature. Suddenly, she asked in his arms:

"Xiao Han and Song Yu, do they both know about Chen Zijin and Consort Huang?"

Li Heng had no idea what this girl was up to.

But he still answered truthfully: "They know Zijing. As for Consort Huang, I'm not so sure. I might have guessed, but I might not know."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shihe tilted her head slightly in his arms, looking at him with tears streaming down her face, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Her cherry-red lips were incredibly alluring, which greatly tempted Li Heng.

As a seasoned player in the dating scene, how could he not know what Zhou's expression meant?
Is she asking for a kiss?

Li Heng was even more bewildered than when he'd been slapped. What was Shihe up to? She'd just hit him, and now she wanted him to kiss her?

Is it going to be the same as this morning, a slap followed by a kiss?

Despite all his thoughts, it was all in a split second. He had already lowered his head and, knowing the situation, kissed her red lips.

But just as their lips touched, Li Heng heard footsteps and finally realized what the girl in his arms was up to.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

Just as he hesitated, just as he was thinking about whether to let her go, Zhou Shihe, who was in his arms, unusually stretched out her slender right hand and boldly wrapped it around his neck from behind her head.

At the same time, she clenched her teeth and bit down hard on his red tongue, preventing it from slipping out of her mouth.

Jianjian was bitten, and Li Heng was speechless.

Having lived two lives, he never dared to underestimate a woman's competitive spirit, but he never imagined that the proud and beautiful Miss Zhou would also have this side: she would rather suppress her grievances and resentment than let her rival see her weak side, and she would rather deliver a fatal blow to her rival.

Indeed, Zhou Shihe, with her perfect pitch, immediately recognized the footsteps as belonging to Xiao Han.

Actually, even without listening, one could guess that the person who came was Xiao Han.

Actually, what she just asked Li Heng was a confirmation: "Do Song Yu and Xiao Han know about Chen Zijin and Huang Zhaoyi?"
Having received the answer, she decided she couldn't show weakness and had to repay Xiao Han and Song Yu for all the humiliation she had suffered that day. So…

So there was this scene.

Xiao Han is a ruthless person. In order to hurt Zhou Shihe, she dared to say in the kitchen, "Have you ever eaten my husband?"

Xiao Han was filled with hatred, but Zhou Shihe was even more ruthless. She retaliated in kind, showing Xiao Han what it meant to be eaten.
As the footsteps drew closer, Li Heng felt a surge of panic. He stroked her waist and abdomen repeatedly with both hands as if begging for mercy.

But Zhou Shihe ignored him completely, instead moving her head up a bit and kissing him even more intensely.

Their lips met in a tight kiss.
