1987 My Era

Chapter 689
Two tables were set up for dinner, with 16 dishes on each table.

Li Heng worked for three hours before he finished.

However, the effect was obvious. Everyone praised his cooking skills and also complimented Jiang Yue and Song Shi, saying that the couple was blessed to have a beautiful and talented daughter and such a good son-in-law. They were the talk of the town and all around, and people could only envy them.

Everyone loves to hear nice words. Not only did Song Shi and Jiang Yue enjoy them, but even their grandparents, who were used to a simple life, couldn't stop smiling.

Grandpa, in high spirits, accepted all offers of liquor and drank several bowls of it, getting himself drunk.

Sun Manning, holding a glass of wine, said to Li Heng and Song Yu, "Wouldn't this count as an engagement drink? Come on, let me have a drink with you both, wishing you a happy marriage and a long and harmonious life together."

Li Heng and Song Yu exchanged a glance and then took a big gulp of water with the girl.

Setting down her wine bowl, Sun Manning leaned close to Song Yu's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Song Yu, you're really amazing. I was worried about you at first."

Song Yu smiled and said, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that his heart is still with me for now."

The word "temporarily" reveals the uncertainty of the future and also shows that Song Yu is very pragmatic and has not become arrogant because of her current lead.

She understood that for women like Zhou Shihe, Yu Shuheng, and Xiao Han, as long as they had a chance, they could turn the tables. She knew it wasn't time to be complacent.

Sun Manning wanted to say a few kind words to comfort her best friend, but when she thought of Shihe's excellence and personality, and that Teacher Yu had already visited the Li family several times, she suddenly felt that Song Yu was not that much ahead.

Back in the bedroom that evening, Song Yu asked him with concern, "You drank so much, does your head hurt?"

Li Heng exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol and said, "It was fine at first, I didn't feel anything. But this liquor has a strong aftereffect, and I must say, I'm a little dizzy now."

Song Yu propped the pillow up at the head of the bed, then sat up against it and said to him, "Lie on my lap, and I'll massage your temples."

Li Heng's eyes lit up: "Let me lie in your arms."

Before she could reply, he had already snuggled into her arms, resting his head on her chest, and lazily yawned.

Song Yu smiled, but didn't push him away. She placed her hands on his temples and began to massage them gently and evenly.

"How strong is it?" she asked.

Li Heng answered comfortably, "It's quite comfortable."

Then, as if remembering something, he told her about the four properties he had bought in Changshi, including two residential houses and two commercial properties.

Song Yu listened without saying a word.

Li Heng said, "Uncle and Auntie have only been in Changsha for a short time and haven't been assigned a house yet, so let them move in first. Anyway, there are two houses next to Hunan University, so it's convenient for commuting."

Song Yu remained silent.

Li Heng grew anxious, rolled over in her arms, looked directly into her eyes, and asked, "Wife, can you just say something?"

Song Yu met his gaze quietly, and after a long while, spoke with an elegant and refined air: "We are not officially married yet. Given my mother's style of doing things, she will not move in, much less accept it."

Li Heng asked, "Can't you try to persuade her?"

Song Yu shook her head slightly: "I can't persuade her. She's not me; she's not that soft-hearted."

What she meant was that she hadn't originally planned to take over the courtyard house in Xila Hutong. Unfortunately, she couldn't resist the man's persistent pestering, and finally reluctantly accepted the key, moving in under the pretext of helping to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Li Heng asked, "Where do your uncle and aunt live now?"

Song Yu said, "My aunt's parents-in-law own property near Hunan University, where they currently live. Actually, Hunan University also has faculty accommodations, but they are not very spacious and the conditions are basic. My mother didn't like living there, so she stayed at the place arranged by my aunt's husband."

Li Heng knew his in-laws' temperaments quite well, and he had only hoped that Song Yu could help him.

Now that even Song Yu is unwilling to help, there's no point in giving up. Seeing his silence, Song Yu said, "Let things take their natural course, so that Mom and Dad won't feel pressured."

Li Heng had no choice but to nod. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After saying that, the two decisively abandoned the topic and gazed at each other.

As they looked at each other, in this deep and quiet environment, something called ambiguity arose spontaneously. The two heads slowly drew closer and eventually kissed.

Red twigs entwine, and the taste is sweet.

After a long kiss, Li Heng's eyes were filled with love: "You know, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I've finally kissed you."

Song Yu smiled beautifully, then placed her hands on his temples again and began to massage them.

Li Heng stopped turning over and simply lowered his head to rest against her chest, closing his eyes to relax.

At first, Song Yu didn't react, but gradually, her body began to undulate uncontrollably like a snake, and a small patch of her chest became damp. Just as she was about to murmur, she gently patted the back of his head with her right hand: "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

His enthusiasm was interrupted, and Li Heng didn't dare to continue. He knew that tonight's harvest could only end here. He then turned over onto the bed and lay down next to her, his mind replaying the beautiful scene from earlier.

Even through the clothes, Song Yu's charm was in no way inferior to that of the fully mature Consort Huang, making him unable to resist her allure.

Song Yu remained motionless, but her emotions were far from calm. The strange sensations he had aroused in her body did not subside until the early hours of the morning.

She asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Li Heng replied, "No, no."

Song Yu turned to the side and asked calmly, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Heng was very honest and didn't lie: "I was reminiscing about it."

Song Yu felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness for no reason, and unusually took the initiative to say, "Hold me while I sleep."

Li Heng opened his arms and silently pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to smell her hair. "I really hope we can stay like this forever."

Song Yu joked, "Then what about your other female confidantes?"

Li Heng was speechless, unsure how to respond.
After waiting a while without receiving a reply, Song Yu asked, "How many times has Teacher Yu visited your hometown?"

Li Heng replied, "Twice."

Song Yu said, "It seems your parents really like her."

Li Heng did not deny it: "It's alright. But they were a little reserved when they were with Teacher Yu."

Song Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Family reasons?"

Li Heng said, "That's not entirely true."

Song Yu raised her head in his arms.

Li Heng said, "Teacher Yu has a very strong scholarly temperament and a powerful aura. Her eyes seem calm, but they give people a great sense of pressure. My mother is not as powerful as her."

He seemed to be explaining, but he was actually teaching Song Yu the tricks of the trade, the tricks of meeting Comrade Tian Run'e.

Song Yu fell into deep thought after hearing this and did not speak again.

Li Heng didn't interrupt her thoughts, and she eventually drifted off to sleep.
