1987 My Era

Chapter 669, The Darkened Wheat Ear (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After their heart-to-heart talk, the two best friends strolled around the campus for a while. When they returned to Lushan Village, Li Heng had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them.

As soon as she saw the two women return, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim, "You're finally back! We're starving! Let's eat!"

After the girls sat down, Li Heng went to the door and looked at the small building across the street. When he found that the doors and windows were closed, he gave up the idea of ​​calling Teacher Yu to dinner.

During the meal, he made a point of observing Song Yu and Mai Sui's words and actions. Seeing that the two women interacted frequently and intimately, his last bit of anxiety finally subsided.

Sun Manning asked Song Yu, "There are only a few days left until the final exams. When are you leaving?"

Song Yu and Chen Xiaoyu exchanged a glance and said, "Tomorrow morning."

Sun Manning rolled up her sleeves and served food to Song Yu, saying with a grin, "I'll accompany Li the Rich Man to see you off tomorrow morning. Remember to welcome me when I go to Dongting Lake during the summer vacation."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

Then, Song Yu asked Mai Sui, "Why don't you come along?"

Mai Sui was somewhat tempted, but later declined, saying, "My parents are going out to do business during the summer vacation, and my grandfather just passed away. I plan to stay at home and spend more time with my grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Song Yu nodded and did not insist further.

In fact, both Song Yu and Mai Sui knew perfectly well that the reason they had politely declined was half true and half an excuse.

After all, Li Heng was going to see Song Yu during the summer vacation. If Mai Sui went with him, it would inevitably restrict Li Heng's actions and hinder the progress of Song Yu and Li Heng's relationship.

After all, if they were together, Li Heng and Song Yu would have to consider Mai Sui's feelings in everything they did, wouldn't they?

At the same time, Mai Sui was also afraid that if she went to Dongting Lake, she would inadvertently expose her relationship with Li Heng, which would displease the elders of the Song family and cause trouble.

Li Heng understood, but said nothing. He simply and cheerfully placed a piece of food on Song Yu's and Mai Sui's plates respectively.

Throughout the meal, Chen Xiaoyu's gaze remained fixed on Mai Sui, a voice constantly nagging at her: "My God! How many women does that bastard Li Heng have? How come each one is more beautiful than the last? How come each one is more unexpected than the last? I finally managed to process Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng, and now this seductive woman has appeared? Can Li Heng really handle her? I bet Mai Sui alone can completely dominate him in bed!"

After dinner, Chen Xiaoyu seized the opportunity to secretly ask Song Yu, "What's the deal with this girl named Mai Sui? She's so alluring, she's like Su Daji! Even as a woman, I'm captivated by her. With her around, even if you marry Li Heng, will he still sleep with you?"

Song Yu smiled beautifully, but instead of answering the question, she said, "Why don't you come to Dongting Lake during your summer vacation? We can go back to the capital together then."

Chen Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose: "Of course I'll go. I don't need your invitation. I'll go myself if it's something this fun. But are you really that kind? You're not thinking of dragging me along to keep that idiot Sun Manning occupied, so you and Li Heng can have some space to show off your love?"

Song Yu smiled but remained silent.

After dinner, Mai Sui quietly took the key and went to the small building next door, number 27. It was deserted inside, with no clothes on the front or back balconies. She guessed that Shi He hadn't been back to live there for a while.

Pushing open the music room door, Mai Sui thought worriedly: Shi He usually has a very rhythmic and self-disciplined schedule, and she would take time to practice piano pieces every day. But now she has been gone for more than ten days, and the piano has been covered with a cloth. It seems that she is seriously heartbroken this time.

That night, Song Yu and Mai Sui slept in the same bed, the two sisters talking side by side.

Li Heng lingered enviously at the bedroom door for a long time before finally pushing the door open and entering.

Hearing the noise, Song Yu and Mai Sui on the bed stopped chatting and turned to look at him. The two sisters remained silent.

Li Heng closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a forced smile, "I can't sleep."

Mai Sui looked at him for a while, then said with a sweet smile, "I'm going to sleep with Manning."

As she spoke, the wheat ears began to rise.

But Song Yu stopped her and said to Li Heng, "You should get some rest too, you have to take us to the airport tomorrow morning."

Well, this is a blatant order to leave.

I don't seem to be very popular.

After exchanging glances for a moment, Li Heng suppressed his restless desires, got up silently under the gazes of the two women, and left the second bedroom.

After he left, Mai Sui sighed, "He's usually so headstrong, but he listens to you completely. That's rare."

Song Yu said calmly, "At least I didn't slap him."

Mai Sui was amused, and she had a gut feeling that Li Heng, who was born to be a woman's nemesis, would definitely have Song Yu and Shi He as his nemesis.

After a while, Song Yu asked, "Does Xiao Han usually come here often?"

Mai Sui replied, "Xiao Han usually comes twice a month. However, he also makes a point of visiting her at Shanghai Medical University every month."

Upon hearing this, the word "stable relationship" automatically came to Song Yu's mind.

Song Yu then asked, "How did he treat Yu Shuheng?"

Mai Sui put it, "With utmost respect."

Song Yu asked, "Where is Zhou Shihe?"

Mai Sui recalled for a long time before speaking: "Before, I just felt that they had great chemistry. They didn't talk much, but it was as if they could understand each other with just a glance. At that time, I didn't want to think too much about it, and I didn't dare to think too much about it. I attributed it all to their soulmates in music."

But now that I think about it, things might be…

As soon as he finished speaking, the wheat ears suddenly stopped moving.

After waiting for a while without getting any further updates, Song Yu wasn't in a hurry to ask and continued to wait patiently.

Mai Sui fell into deep thought, and at one point, she continued, "Things may be far more complicated than they appear. I even suspect that something happened before they went on the Spring Festival Gala."

Song Yu asked, "What is the basis for your judgment?"

Mai Sui said, "Before going on the Spring Festival Gala, Shi He and Teacher Yu had a disagreement over some arrangement opinions, but that was only within the scope of work, and they recovered as soon as they left the practice room."

But after the Spring Festival Gala, everything changed.

I was still wondering what had happened that winter break that could have caused such a serious falling out between the usually composed Teacher Yu and Shihe.

Upon hearing this, Song Yu said, "Something must have happened. If I'm not mistaken, Teacher Yu sensed a threat, which is why she started to openly and secretly confront Zhou Shihe."

Mai Sui sighed inwardly. In her eyes, both Teacher Yu and Shi He were very easy to get along with, but they couldn't stand each other and even stood on opposite sides for a man, which was quite regrettable.

Song Yu asked, "Are there any other girls here who are close to him?"

Maisui shook her head: "I don't know."

Song Yu turned her head: "Why do you say you don't know? Aren't you with him every day?"

Mai Sui said uncertainly, "I was kept in the dark about Consort Huang the whole time."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Even you were kept in the dark, which proves one thing."

Mai Sui asked, "What is it?"

Song Yu analyzed, "Li Heng and Consort Huang must not have had many contacts in the past, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to be so clean and leave no trace every time."

Perhaps his feelings for Huang Zhaoyi were more physical, and they hadn't truly resonated with each other on an emotional level.

Mai Sui thought to herself: The only people who can resonate with him on a spiritual level are probably Song Yu and Shi He.

Out of consideration for Song Yu, she could only speculate in her heart and naturally wouldn't say it aloud.

That night, the two sisters, who had not seen each other for more than half a year, talked intimately all night.

That very night, the two women achieved true intimacy, their friendship grew stronger, and they trusted each other even more.

"It's almost dawn," Mai Sui, who had been watching the window closely, suddenly said.

Song Yu glanced at the window, then looked at the watch on the bedside table to check the time.

4:43
She said, "I should get up."

Mai Sui sat up and said, "I'll go to the airport to see you off."

Song Yu said with concern, "You haven't slept all night, you'd better catch up on some sleep."

Despite being advised against it, Mai Sui insisted on delivering the wheat.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Song Yu did not say anything more about the topic. But before leaving the bedroom, she told her, "Take the things I told you to keep in mind. There can't be another Huang Zhaoyi."

Mai Sui met her gaze, "Okay."

Actually, Song Yu was more inclined to believe in Xiao Han's ability to pester her. But unfortunately, Xiao Han was in another place and couldn't keep an eye on her all the time.

Therefore, we can only hope that Mai Sui will put aside her concerns and restrain this philanderer through their bedroom affairs.

In fact, Song Yu thought of Yu Shuheng, but she knew better than anyone else that before she had a relationship with Li Heng, Teacher Yu could only give him subtle reminders at most, and could not really restrain him.

As for Zhou Shihe, Song Yu was rather wary: it was fine if Zhou Shihe didn't interfere in his love life. But once she started interfering, it meant that Zhou Shihe was going to succeed, and he would have nowhere to escape.

When that time comes, it won't just be a question of whether Li Heng is a womanizer or not, but a question of whether Li Heng will marry Zhou Shihe.

As the two women walked out of the bedroom, Li Heng also came out of the master bedroom next door.

The three looked at each other for a while, and Mai Sui went to the washroom first.

Li Heng glanced at the washroom, then walked up to Song Yu, hugged her tightly, his eyes full of reluctance.

Song Yu smiled and said, "I knew you would do this."

Feeling awkward about the occasion, Li Heng only hugged her briefly before letting go. "You two were having a heart-to-heart talk last night?"

Song Yu gave a soft "Mmm." Li Heng asked, "What are you going to talk about? Are you going to talk all night?"

Song Yu, with her elegant demeanor, said, "It's a secret."

"Okay, so you still have secrets from me." Li Heng pouted.

Song Yu smiled and walked towards the washroom.

Next, a very harmonious scene unfolded in the washroom. Li Heng stood in the middle, Song Yu on his left, and Mai Sui on his right. The three of them rinsed their mouths and washed their faces together, without anyone saying a word.

No one wanted to break this unusual tranquility.

I'm afraid it will be awkward later.

After all, the relationship between the three of them was already out in the open, and the two women and one man had become a "secret" that could only be understood but not spoken.

After waking Sun Manning and Chen Xiaoyu, the group left Lushan Village at around 5:30.

On the way, Sun Manning and Chen Xiaoyu kept chattering away, while Li Heng, Song Yu, and Mai Sui remained mostly silent, creating a stark contrast in the car.

They arrived at the airport without any problems. Before boarding, Li Heng whispered in Song Yu's ear, "Prepare well for your final exams. I'll come to see you at the end of July. Then we'll officially be your girlfriend. Don't embarrass me in front of the elders."

This elder refers to a member of the Song family.

Song Yu smiled calmly, but surprisingly did not refuse.

Song Yu left without giving Li Heng any instructions. There was no need; since she planned to marry him and spend her life with him, she didn't care about this brief separation.

Watching Song Yu and Chen Xiaoyu's figures disappear from sight, Li Heng and the other two returned to the car.

As soon as Sun Manning got in the car, she yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap first, wake me up when we get to school."

After saying that, the idiot lay down in the back seat and fell fast asleep.

However, neither Li Heng nor Mai Sui really believed that the girl was asleep. They only chatted about trivial matters and didn't talk about love, so as not to be overheard by someone.

...

Back to Lushan Village.

After tidying up the second bedroom, Mai Sui said to him, "I want to go to the dormitory, so I won't have lunch with you."

Li Heng leaned against the doorway and tentatively asked, "Looking for Shihe?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. But once it was brought up, Mai Sui stopped rushing to leave and looked at him with a complicated expression.

She stared at him without blinking.

Li Heng had never seen the gentle wheat stalks like this before, and he felt a little flustered for no reason, but he still tried to remain calm and not be intimidated.

After a long pause, Mai Sui softly asked, "You and Shi He...?"

Li Heng asked, "You found out?"

The wheat ears nodded.

Li Heng asked, "Who told you that?"

The wheat ear retorted, "Does that even matter?"

Li Heng paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Maisui shook her head: "You haven't wronged me."

Seeing Mai Sui, who was usually so considerate to him, acting this way, Li Heng felt heartbroken and didn't know how to start the conversation.
He didn't know what to say.

But in the end, he swallowed all the words that were about to come out and made no attempt to defend himself.

Mai Sui asked, "Do you love Shi He?"

Li Heng hesitated for a few seconds, then said from the bottom of his heart, "I love you."

Mai Sui asked, "Did you take the initiative?"

Li Heng did not deny it: "I couldn't control myself."

Mai looked him straight in the eye. "Can you tell me when it started?"

Li Heng said, "I don't know the specifics."

Mai Sui understood and asked, "Has the boundary between you always been blurred?"

Li Hengmin tacitly replied: "It's mostly me."

Mai Sui asked, "What about physical contact?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Li Heng couldn't bear to lie, and finally told the truth: "At the beginning of the year at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, I couldn't help myself and kissed her."

Mai Sui felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she tried to remain calm and asked again, "What was Shi He's reaction back then?"

Li Heng said, "She slapped me."

Mai Sui said to herself, "To save face for you in public, she forgave you later, right?"

Li Heng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Mai Sui asked one last question: "Did Teacher Yu and Shi He have a falling out because of you?"

Li Heng didn't want to answer anymore and wanted to reach out to hug her, but Mai Sui pushed his hand away.

Li Heng was stunned, his hands frozen in mid-air.

Mai Sui raised her head slightly, revealing her unusual dissatisfaction: "I turned a blind eye to you messing with other women in the past. But messing with Shi He, how are we supposed to get along in the future?"

Li Heng hesitantly withdrew his hands: "It was my fault."

Mai Sui rolled her eyes at him: "Who are you? You're a great talent, a great musician, a billionaire. How could you be wrong?"

Besides, even if you make a verbal mistake, it's just a verbal one.

Who knows, he might turn around and add Xiaozhu, Wanying, that junior Huang Ziyue, Tongji University's campus belle Wu Siyao, senior Ye Zhanyan, Lijun, and Dai Qing to the "awaiting favor" list.

Li Heng felt a chill run down his spine. He struck again with lightning speed, pulling her into his arms before she could react. He pressed his forehead against hers and pleaded, "Stop talking, stop talking, I was really wrong."

This time, Mai Sui didn't resist being hugged tightly, but simply asked, "What did I do wrong?"

Li Heng said, "I was wrong about everything."

Mai Sui asked, "Where are Consort Huang and Liu Yue?"

Li Heng trembled all over. "You...you know about this too?"

"Hmm." Wheat hummed in response.

Li Heng, his head tingling, said, "I only have relations with Consort Huang."

Mai Sui said, "No, I think Liu Yue is pretty good too. She's the leader of the Four Little Kings. When she comes back to China, I'll give up my bed."

Li Heng's lips twitched violently.

Mai Sui persisted: "Then Huang Zhaoyi should give one side of the bed to Liu Yue, with the most beautiful aunt on the left and the pretty niece on the right, and you can be the big shot in the middle."

Three people in one bed—this is a blessing most people could only dream of. How wonderful!

Li Heng was about to cry: "I promise you, I will never touch a single hair on Liu Yue's head in this lifetime."

Wheat asked, "Really?"

Li Heng said, "I will not meet with her alone in the future."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mai Sui stared intently into his eyes for a while before finally saying, "From now on, if you dare to secretly meet Liu Yue, I will ruin your relationships with Song Yu and Shi He. I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Li Heng cupped her face in his hands, and after a long while, he finally uttered in frustration, "This...you...are you really Mai Sui? Or are you possessed by some evil spirit?"

With her plump, adorable cheeks, Mai Sui said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If a tiger doesn't show its power, you'll think it's a sick cat'?"

Li Heng was both amused and exasperated: "Tiger mom, I understand, please believe me this once."

Mai Sui grunted again, her tone finally softening: "Let me go, stay home and study properly, you're not allowed to go anywhere, understand?"

Li Heng blinked: "Your tone is so domineering, I'm not used to it."

Mai Sui tilted her head and asked, "You feel awkward? If you feel awkward, just replace me. There are so many women queuing up behind you anyway."

I don't know why?

Li Heng was inexplicably a little intimidated by Mai Sui's eloquence, but at the same time, he found this side of her very charming.

Li Heng quickly said, "I wouldn't dare! Please let me go, okay? I only want you."

"Good to know. It depends on my mood. Anyway, I'm a little angry right now." Mai Sui pushed his hand away, opened the door, and left.
