Chapter 224
The sky is collapsing! The earth is cracking!
The moment Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, Mai Sui, and Xiao Han met, the air stagnated!
A moment later, the entire cafeteria was boiling!
One "King," one "Little King," and then paired with Xiao Han, whose appearance didn't lose to the "King"—all the students were excited to death. Such a scene was truly rare, unforgettable for a lifetime.
Even the aunts and uncles at the windows serving food couldn't help but take time to poke their heads out to look at the three women, their faces full of admiration.
Li Heng was a bit stunned; he hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that he could run into Mai Sui and the other two in the cafeteria.
Eyes met—no, ten eyes met!
Ye Ning's gaze fell on Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe beside her, then on Xiao Han opposite her, subconsciously making a comparison:
Height: one is 163, one is about 166; no big difference.
Appearance: Xiao Han is outstandingly exquisite; Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's face is gentle, and she carries a clear, flawless charm; each has its own merits.
In terms of temperament, Ye Ning looked left and right; she gave Zhou Zhou Shihe full marks.
After comparing Xiao Han and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, Ye Ning's gaze shifted to Mai Sui. She felt that although Sui Sui couldn't compare to these two women right now, relying on that soul-stirring, charming aura, as time passed, she probably wouldn't lose much in terms of stirring up carnal desires in the opposite sex in the future.
This wasn't her making things up; it was just that every time she saw Mai Sui, she had an uncontrollable urge to reach out and touch her.
And this kind of urge, Ye Ning hadn't seen in others; Mai Sui was unique.
Suddenly colliding, Xiao Han was a bit surprised; she hadn't expected that in this life, besides Song Yu, she would meet such beautiful girls at Fudan University.
Intuition told her that the girl opposite her, wearing a beige wool sweater, was not to be trifled with and was also very dangerous. Because in her perception, Mr. Li loved beauties the most, especially those to this degree; he had almost no resistance.
Before, when she met Liu Yue at the Management School teaching building, she only felt the other party was very beautiful, but it hadn't risen to the level of being wary out of thin air.
But Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe—at just one glance, Xiao Han passively triggered her alarm, secretly noting the other party, just like she had noted Song Yu in high school.
However, who was she? In front of people, she was a pretentious girl with a graceful demeanor and calm self-restraint. When it came to aura, she had it firmly under control and had never lost to anyone.
Xiao Han was a bit surprised by Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe's beauty and temperament; conversely, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe couldn't help but look at Xiao Han a few more times. The moment their gazes met unexpectedly, she smiled gently at Xiao Han, which counted as politeness.
As a return gesture, Xiao Han smiled back, then turned to Mai Sui.
Mai Sui took the initiative to greet, "Xiao Han, you're here."
"Yes, Mr. Li said the food in your Fudan cafeteria is delicious, so I came over to try it. Long time no see, Mai Sui, you're even prettier than before." Facing Mai Sui, Xiao Han was uncharacteristically talkative and appeared very easygoing.
"Mr. Li" is generally a polite term in society, but in Xiao Han's mouth, it had an extraordinary affinity, making the relationship between the two appear very sweet.
It was precisely this affectionate "Mr. Li" title that made Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe and Ye Ning look at Li Heng again. A woman's sixth sense told the two women that this beautiful woman opposite loved him extremely.
And it was indeed so.
Mai Sui had heard many girls in high school say that Xiao Han was relatively cold and arrogant, and girls who could get close to her would inexplicably feel a sense of honor. She hadn't expected that she was already using an exclusive pet name like "Mr. Li."
It seemed Xiao Han's affection for Li Heng was even deeper than she had imagined.
Of course, she wasn't stupid; she vaguely understood why Xiao Han would call Li Heng that in front of a crowd—besides it being a habit, perhaps it contained deeper meaning.
However, she wasn't willing to be overly suspicious or think too much.
Mai Sui smiled tenderly, walked two steps closer, and said, "In the past, whenever Manning and I chatted with Li Heng, he would always have you on his lips. We kept urging him to call you over for a gathering. You're not going back too early this weekend, right? Let's call Manning to eat together tomorrow."
These words seemed to say nothing, but Xiao Han extracted the key information and plowed a small dimple: "Okay."
Since things had reached this point, Li Heng naturally went with the flow and invited Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe and Ye Ning to have a meal together tomorrow.
Ye Ning was eager to move but didn't act on her own, instead looking at Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe glanced at Mai Sui and agreed with a smile.
The five stood together and chatted for a minute or two, then parted ways.
Li Heng took Xiao Han to a corner seat to eat in peace.
The three women also got their food but sensibly didn't take the initiative to come over, instead finding empty seats in the opposite direction.
But as she ate, Mai Sui gradually became a bit absent-minded.
Sensing something was wrong, the observant Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked at the man and woman in that corner without a trace, then picked up a piece of duck meat from her own bowl for her best friend, and after pondering for two seconds, asked: "Is there enough time? Do you want me to accompany you?"
These words were nonsensical, but Mai Sui understood almost instantly.
How could she not understand?
She stayed at Li Heng's rented house from time to time, especially this past week, staying out all night every day. As the person with the closest relationship to Mai Sui in university, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe had long secretly had her suspicions, but she just never asked about it.
Not to mention that last week, Mai Sui had carried a bag of clothes and other items back to the dorm early in the morning, but later slowly moved them out one by one. This undoubtedly corroborated many things from the side.
Mai Sui put down her chopsticks and said, "Okay."
Seeing the two women get up to leave, Ye Ning looked up and asked, "Hey, where are you two going so mysteriously?"
Mai Sui asked, "To get something, want to come?"
Ye Ning was puzzled: "Half the meal is still left, not eating anymore?"
Seeing that Mai Sui was hard to answer and knowing her best friend didn't want more people to know this secret, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said, "Ningning is going to find her cousin later; we'll go first."
Ye Ning did indeed have to find her cousin, so she could only watch the two women leave in frustration.
Tacitly, Mai Sui and Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe took a detour to the back door to leave the cafeteria, not walking through the front door, just fearing Xiao Han would see them.
Along the way, the two women didn't speak, silently rushing toward Lushan Village.
But just as they were about to approach Lushan Village, Mai Sui suddenly asked, "Zhou Zhou Shihe, when did you find out?"
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe said gently: "It's been a while."
Mai Sui was silent, and after a long while, she said: "I thought I hid it very well, and that you all didn't know."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe comforted: "It should just be me. I have a high school classmate whose dorm is in the same building as Sun Manning's dorm. Last time you weren't staying in the dorm, I happened to go to the No. 9 Girls' Building, and Sun Manning asked me about your situation, saying she hadn't seen you for a week and wanted me to pass a message for you to eat together on the weekend."
In the dorm, all the roommates thought Mai Sui was staying overnight at Sun Manning's place. After all, the two women had been classmates since elementary school, and their relationship in high school was even so good that they wore the same pair of pants. Everyone felt it was normal to go to a sister's place to stay overnight every few days.
Entering Lushan Village, they arrived in front of the No. 26 small building.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe was very surprised, looked up to examine the small building, and doubts arose in her heart: How did Li Heng move in here?
What does Lushan Village represent?
What do the people who can live inside here represent?
Anyone who knows a little bit knows the "gold content" inside.
However, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe wasn't the type to be nosy. Seeing her best friend didn't take the initiative to mention it, she didn't ask, pretending not to know.
Unlocking, entering the house.
Just as she stepped through the door, what came into view was a house full of elegant wallpaper. Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked around and then asked, "Did you stick all this wallpaper?"
Mai Sui, who was originally going to the second-floor bedroom, froze upon hearing this, staying in place, unable to move her feet.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe reminded: "The style is the same as the decoration of your desk in the dorm."
Mai Sui didn't answer.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe looked at her profile and comforted: "It's just a good friend helping out; I think Xiao Han won't misunderstand."
She only said half of what she meant; the second half, "Don't take Xiao Han to the dorm," she didn't say.
Because she wasn't clear about how the friendship between Xiao Han and Sui Sui was during high school? Was it that they understood each other's personalities very well?
However, based on the situation of meeting in the cafeteria just now, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe felt that the relationship between the two should be very average, so she let her friend not worry too much.
Some things are understood as soon as they are heard. Mai Sui felt much more at ease instantly. Being conservative in her thinking, she really didn't want to intervene in Li Heng's emotional life, and even less did she want those three women, especially Song Yu, to misunderstand.
Going up to the second floor, she went straight to the guest bedroom.
Mai Sui first packed up her clothes, then began to tidy up the bed.
Seeing two quilts on one bed, Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe stood at the door, not knowing whether she should come in?
Seeing this, Mai Sui explained, "This quilt is what Yu Laoshi covers herself with; don't think too much."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe stared at her through the door.
Mai Sui said helplessly, "If he really slept in the same bed as me, would I be in such a hurry to rush back? Besides, if we slept together, why would we need to cover ourselves with two quilts?"
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe smiled knowingly and walked in to help.
Next, the two women worked while chatting about Old Fu catching a dead fish and Yu Yu Yu Shuheng encountering "ghost pressing the bed."
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe asked, "Are you moving out directly?"
"Yes," Mai Sui said softly.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe asked, "What about Yu Laoshi tonight?"
Mai Sui paused and sighed: "I can't appear in this area; if she finds out, I won't be able to explain it clearly."
By "she," Mai Sui meant her best friend, Song Yu.
But Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe heard it as Xiao Han, and immediately looked at her with some strangeness, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
With the guest bedroom settled, Mai Sui dived into the study again, where her teacup and some books were.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe followed to the door, looking at the room full of books with some surprise, and after a long while asked: "This is Li Heng's study."
"Yes, he loves reading books and newspapers; he usually spends more than half his time in here." Mai Sui put her teacup and her own books into her bag and began to bend over to look for hair on the sofa.
The study was a private restricted area. Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe, who had excellent personal cultivation, didn't go in to help this time. Her gaze lingered on various books for a while, then she glanced at the erhu, flute, and ocarina placed in the corner, and finally went to the attic to keep watch, to see if Li Heng and Xiao Han had returned?
20 minutes later, the two women each carrying a bag hurriedly left Lushan Village.
Leaving the alley entrance, Mai Sui's pace automatically slowed down, "Zhou Zhou Shihe, do you have a lot of doubts?"
Zhou Zhou Zhou Shihe shook her head gently: "Everyone has secrets; when the time comes to say them, you will naturally say them."
Mai Sui turned her head and said softly: "Thank you."
