Chapter 328: , Mai Sui, Are You Willing to Be My Woman? (Please subscribe!)

"What did you just say?"

The cold wind was a bit strong, and Li Heng didn't hear her muffled voice clearly for a moment.

Mai Sui just smiled shyly and no longer had the courage to open her mouth to say it a second time.

"Did you just say: I will never let you down in my life?" Li Heng half-recalled and half-pondered.

Precisely hit.

Instantly, Mai Sui stopped smiling, and the shyness on her face increased by several points.

After a while, Li Heng reached out his right hand to stroke her cheek, gently rubbing it back and forth, lowered his head and asked: "Can I take it seriously?"

"Mm."

He was asking her heart, she didn't be cowardly this time, raised her head slightly and said "mm" very seriously, replying to his inquiry and expressing her love.

Mai Sui's net height is a full 168cm, and wearing shoes exceeds 170cm. At this moment, the two were hugging each other, leaning on each other. He lowered his head, she raised her head slightly, the two heads were very close, and each other's breath hit the other's face, warm, hot, and exceptionally tempting.

Facing each other for a long time, looking at each other for a long time, the two seemed to be slowly attracted by something indescribable.

That is love, and also affection. That is a longing, and also a touch of shyness.

In a natural atmosphere, in a heartbeat, at a certain moment, Li Heng could no longer suppress his eagerness to move, and kissed over.

Close!

Closer!

It seemed very fast, and it seemed like half a century had passed. When Li Heng's lips were about to approach her lips, he paused, and he asked seriously, with a sense of ritual, cautiously:

"Mai Sui, are you willing to be my woman?"

Facing this bright woman, he was truly moved, but he had to ask, because he carried a load of emotional debts.

For a woman, he is not a good person, nor is he the best destination.

Most importantly, he knew she had a knot in her heart.

A "Mai Sui, are you willing to be my woman" was like a thousand-jin hammer "bang" heavily hitting Mai Sui's heart.

With a crash, her heart door was smashed and collapsed! Smashed to pieces!

She is a woman who keeps her silence, and also a woman waiting for love. After more than three years of bitter secret love, her feelings finally ushered in the dawn.

It is said that love is a woman's spiritual food, and also a woman's best tonic.

The moment she waited for love, she seemed to transform into a butterfly, her eyes bright like stars in the night sky, her blue silk lingering in the wind, her red lips slightly parted, and all kinds of charm flowing between her eyebrows, like anger and joy, charming and hard to block.

Just one look, it makes people dream!

Li Heng was stunned!

At this moment, his heart was beating rapidly, his desire was high, his hot blood was stimulated by something, no longer waiting, no longer asking, like a dive from the nine heavens, breaking through all the barriers of dust, and kissed her lips in one go.

Everything came too fast, like lightning. When she reacted, her lips were already surrounded by a warmth, and her originally tense body was even stiffer, standing straight in his arms.

At this moment, her hands were panicked and helpless, with nowhere to place them.

At this moment, her brain was messy, watching him contain her upper crescent moon, and after some playful teasing, he moved to the lower crescent moon.

After patiently grinding between the upper and lower lips for a while, Li Heng kissed the corner of her mouth, then wanted to knock open her teeth, preparing to ride the wind and waves, and hang the clouds and sail to the sea.

But at this critical moment, Mai Sui retreated, her head pulled back, pulling away some distance, and then she used her right hand to seal his mouth.

Interrupted when she felt the most, Li Heng stared at her eyes fixedly, without saying a word.

Looking at each other, their eyes entangled, for a long time, Mai Sui, who was afraid he would be angry and afraid he would misunderstand, loosened her hand and took the initiative to kiss him.

Firmly kissed him.

Then she looked at him with a pleading look, her fair fingers pressing his lips, as if saying:

Li Heng, I am willing to love you, and I am willing to be loved by you.

But not now, and not here.

Receiving her intention, receiving her pleading look, the high desire in Li Heng's bones gradually, gradually calmed down. He woke up and softened.

He understood that although the Old Man in the Moon built a road for the two of them in difficulties today, allowing her to bypass thousands of turns to take the initiative to express her heart to himself, it is estimated that it has overdrawn the limit of her first twenty years of life.

How could he ask for more from her in a short time?

She is not a bird in a cage, nor a canary, she is a woman who is desperate for love but conservative in thought and independent in personality.

He should give her respect.

He knew even more clearly that Mai Sui's active feeding of chocolate several times, or her active request for a hug just now, were all because

In truth, when Li Heng opened his mouth to ask her to be his woman, the calm lake of Mai Sui's heart instantly surged with towering waves, and her previously ripple-free pupils shot out ten thousand rays of light in an instant, just like the tender green branches at the turn of winter and spring—vibrant, colorful, and dazzling.

However, she was, after all, calm and rational; after a fleeting moment of elation, she slowly returned to tranquility, not having been knocked unconscious by the enormous surprise before her.

Now, facing this burning affection, although her heart yearned for it, she was also extremely conflicted and dared not face it openly.

She truly dared not face it!

Because in her view, before this layer of window paper was pierced, she could stay by his side as she pleased, accompanying him in any form, never leaving or forsaking him, inseparable as shadow and form.

But now, after her inner thoughts had been exposed, she could not manage to ignore Song Yu, nor could she ignore her own inner adherence to convention.

The one he loved most was Song Yu, and Song Yu had him in her heart as well.

Or rather, Song Yu's feelings for him might not be shallow; it was just that, hindered by Song Yu's Buddhist-like nature and the existence of Chen Zijin, Song Yu had hidden these feelings very well.

Mai Sui understood that it was easy for her to become his woman; she could just grit her teeth and harden her heart to cross that final red line, but after becoming his woman, a series of aftermaths would be waiting for her.

It meant she might have to lose a great deal.

Not only would she lose Song Yu as a best friend, but she would also invite the hatred of her good friend Chen Zijin.

If she were not careful, she might even lose her own pride and become completely lost within this relationship.

This was what she feared, and it was not what she wanted.

At the same time, relatives and friends, human ethics, and the like were even more of a knot in her heart.

After all!

After all, he was a man with a partner; for her to wedge herself in like this was not only unreasonable and unjustifiable, but how would her friends view her?

How would her family view her?

How would society view her?

Thinking about how she was entangled with him behind the back of her best friend, Mai Sui felt very unsettled for a moment.

It was extremely contradictory and complex!

The contradiction needed no further discussion; her best friend Song Yu and human ethics bound her heart, leaving her anxious beyond measure.

The complexity was that she truly cared about him, cared more than others could imagine, and the process of caring for him also exceeded what others could imagine.

Throughout high school, and after entering Fudan University, every morning when she woke up, the first thing she would think of was him: had he woken up? What was he doing? Had he eaten breakfast? Did he stay up late last night? Was he hungry?

Every day, as long as she saw him, it was a new beginning, full of motivation.

If there was a day she couldn't see him, her heart would feel empty, as if she had lost the most precious thing in the world; she would have no spirit for studying, no appetite for food, as if she had lost her soul, listless in everything she did.

Books all say that love knows not its origin, yet it runs deep.

She, however, had fallen in love at first sight, sinking deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate herself.

After the two stood in silent confrontation for a while, just as Mai Sui was struggling with her emotions, Li Heng, who understood her, finally made a move and took the initiative to let her go.

Mai Sui stood straight and said softly, "Li Heng, thank you, thank you for defending me."

Li Heng said nothing, his right hand resting against her left cheek, gazing at her tenderly.

After a while, Mai Sui slowly closed her eyes and threw herself into his arms again, her left cheek pressed tightly against his palm, moving slowly.

At this very moment, their two hearts were pressed together, their feelings flowing freely; the two seemed to have temporarily set everything aside, incomparably warm.

After a long, long silence, Li Heng offered his belated blessing: "Comrade Mai Sui, Happy New Year!"

Mai Sui smiled charmingly, opened her eyes, and said, "Happy New Year!"

Li Heng leaned in to kiss her forehead, withdrew his right hand from her face, and said, "Let's go, people are coming up below."

"Mm."

Mai Sui had long since noticed people coming up from the foot of the mountain; she gave a soft "mm," reached out to adjust her collar, left his embrace, and asked, "Why did you come today?"

Li Heng asked, "Did you think I would come tomorrow?"

Mai Sui nodded.

Li Heng said, "Tomorrow would be too late. It takes until about 1 p. m. just to get from Qianzhen to Shaoshi, and if I went to Changshi after that, the time would be too tight. If the car broke down on the road or something, I'd miss my flight."

He then asked, "Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "I did. Congratulations, you performed so well."

Just then, a group of people came up the shaded path below, both men and women; judging by their attire, they should be a group of college students having a winter break gathering.

Unexpectedly, one of the girls seemed to recognize Li Heng; she looked at him, then looked at him again, and finally stopped in her tracks to ask, "You, are you Li Heng?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of men and women turned their heads in unison, staring at him.

The girl walking at the very front ran back, and after carefully identifying Li Heng for a moment, she suddenly exclaimed with joy:

"Ah! You really are Li Heng! Zhao Ming, hurry! Hurry and use your camera to take a photo of me and him."

After finishing, the girl realized she had been too excited, and then said tentatively, "I am Wu Qin, also a graduate of Shaoshi No. 1 Middle School, a junior at Wuhan University. May I take a photo with you?"

The girl was very skillful in her speech, using the schoolmate friendship of Shaoshi No. 1 Middle School to get close, and immediately revealing her status at Wuhan University to show she was a person of learning, not a brainless one; her goal was self-evident, hoping Li Heng would not refuse.

Li Heng naturally saw through the other party's little thoughts, smiled, and did not refuse.

"One, two, three!"

"Click!"

With a click, the photo was taken. Originally, Wu Qin had wanted to ask for contact information, but when she saw the beauty of Mai Sui standing to the side, she immediately gave up, thinking to herself that with such a beauty by Li Heng's side, it would be easy to feel awkward if she spoke up.

One led to two; after Wu Qin finished taking her photo, the other girls flocked over one after another.

Li Heng did not refuse any of them, very amiably indulging in the thrill of being a celebrity, cooperating with the photos.

A few minutes later, the group of college students chattered away as they left; because they were too excited, they would turn their heads to look at Li Heng from time to time.

Once the crowd had walked far away, Li Heng said to Mai Sui, "Let's go too. Manning came with me today, so let's not keep her waiting too long."

Mai Sui said okay.

Afterward, she asked, "What does it feel like to be chased for photos?"

Li Heng smacked his lips: "No big feeling. I've been popular with girls since I was little anyway; today just happened to have a few more boys."

At these words, Mai Sui thought of herself, her pretty face blushing slightly, and she lowered her head to tease: "Yes! You are the most handsome boy at our Fudan University."

Li Heng glanced at her, just smiled, and walked toward the mountaintop.

Mai Sui raised her head to look at his back, her eyes full of tenderness, and followed him.

"Damn! When did you two get together?"

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Chengnan Park, Sun Manning, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately flew into a rage at the two: "Mai Sui, do you still have any humanity? Are you even human? I went to your grandmother's house to look for you, and there wasn't a soul there.

Then I came here to find Li Heng, and I couldn't find a trace of him anywhere. So you took him and hid somewhere to go on a date? Is that it?"

After a barrage of words, Sun Manning was still dissatisfied; she stretched out her right wrist and complained: "Look at your watches, it's already almost 2 o'clock. I've waited for you for a full 20-plus minutes! You could have gone to bed once in 20-plus minutes!"

Without waiting for Mai Sui to speak, Li Heng held up a finger: "A big meal."

"A big meal? Am I the kind of person who is so easily bought?" Sun Manning pouted.

Li Heng held up two fingers: "Is that enough?"

Sun Manning reached out to help him straighten one finger: "Three meals, at the Lantian Hotel, no waiting after the deadline! Otherwise, this young lady will go back and complain to Song Yu."

Hearing the name Song Yu, the smile on Mai Sui's face, who was feeling a bit awkward, vanished.

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Deal!"

Sun Manning seemed to notice the change in Mai Sui's expression; she reached out to hook her arm and whispered in her ear: "Looking at you like this, you really went on a date, huh?

But it doesn't matter, I'll stand between you two, I won't help anyone.

I just want to see him unhappy; he got your heart so easily, I'm taking the opportunity to extort him."

After explaining, Sun Manning said to her best friend: "Let's go, let's go to our house to eat; the food should be ready."

Mai Sui said okay.

The three crossed the road and cut back along the back gate of the Teachers' College.

On the way, Li Heng bought several skewers of candied haws, handed one to each of the two girls, and asked Sun Manning: "We are leaving tomorrow morning, what about you, Comrade Manning?"

Sun Manning glanced at him, then glanced at Mai Sui: "Forget it, I won't get in your way. You two go ahead, I'll come out with Que Xinyan and Yangcheng after school starts."

Li Heng asked: "Are you in contact with them?"

Sun Manning patted her chest and said: "Yes, don't worry, a person as big as me won't get lost."

Li Heng and Mai Sui looked at each other and said: "Alright, I'll have food ready at Lushan Village waiting for you then."

"Hee hee, that's more like it."

Entering No. 1 Middle School and returning to Sun Xiaozhang's house, the last blood duck had just come out of the pot.

The English teacher stared at Mai Sui without blinking for a long while, and finally sighed with admiration: "Tsk tsk, Mai Sui is growing more and more beautiful; I wonder which man will benefit from this in the future."

Sun Manning's mother echoed: "Indeed, every time I see Mai Sui, I feel she is different. It's a pity, I don't have a son, otherwise I would definitely have to plot to make her my daughter-in-law."

Sun Manning curled her lips: "Mom, you can give up on that. Our family isn't worthy of Mai Sui, unless your ancestors for eighteen generations bless you and your belly is capable enough to give birth to a son like Li Heng."

Mother Sun slapped her daughter's arm: "You dead girl, how are you talking? Can't I fantasize a little?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener did; the English teacher's gaze wandered unobtrusively between Li Heng and Mai Sui twice, and she smiled as she adjusted her glasses with her fingertips: "Mai Sui, drink with teacher today; it's been a long time since I've had a good drink."

"Okay."

Mai Sui had never been drunk from drinking. Even though she didn't drink much usually, she couldn't help that heaven favored her, bestowing upon her a good constitution.

Mai Sui and the English teacher started drinking.

Sun Xiaozhang, the drunkard, watched with envy and joined in as well.

Li Heng couldn't stay out of it; after a meal, he was urged to drink nearly half a jin of white liquor and immediately became dead drunk.

He didn't know how he got drunk; anyway, he fell asleep as soon as he was full, and when he woke up again, he was already in bed.

Slowly opening his eyes, Li Heng subconsciously looked around the room and instantly understood: this was the secondary bedroom in the English teacher's house. He had slept here before, the layout on the table was exactly the same, and after half a year, it hadn't changed at all.

After being dazed for a while, he raised his left wrist to look: 5:57.

Well, he had slept for an entire afternoon.

Exhaling, Li Heng got out of bed to find his shoes, and when he opened the secondary bedroom door, he saw Mai Sui watching TV on the sofa at a glance.

The TV volume was low, barely audible, clearly for fear of disturbing the person sleeping in the room.

Hearing the movement, Mai Sui turned her head to look over; their eyes met, and she then stood up, walked over, and asked: "Awake?"

"Mm." Li Heng gave a hum.

Mai Sui asked with concern: "You said you had a headache before you went to sleep; does it still hurt?"

Li Heng touched his temple: "A little bit."

Mai Sui said: "Sit down on the sofa, I'll rub it for you."

It wasn't the first time, so Li Heng didn't act coy; he sat down, leaned against the sofa back, and asked: "Where's the English teacher?"

"She's also drunk, drank much more than you, and is sleeping in the room. I estimate she won't wake up for a while."

As Mai Sui said this, she circled behind the sofa, placed her hands gently on his temples, and slowly began to press.

"How's the pressure?" she asked.

"You can be a bit firmer," Li Heng said.

"How about this?"

"Mm, just right, so comfortable." Li Heng said, resting his head on the sofa, looking up at her.

Mai Sui also looked at him.

After a while, her earlobes inexplicably burned, and she covered his eyes with her right hand, saying softly: "Close your eyes and rest, no wild thoughts allowed."

Li Heng said nothing and truly closed his eyes.

About 10 minutes later, a knock sounded at the door, accompanied by a shout: "Mai Sui, open the door."

The voice was Sun Manning's.

Mai Sui paused, stopped her hand movements, and walked toward the door.

Li Heng also opened his eyes at the right moment.

As soon as Sun Manning entered, she shouted: "Ah! Li Heng, you're awake, let's go, let's go to our house for dinner."

Li Heng: "..."

It felt like he had just eaten, and in the blink of an eye, he had to eat again.

Sun Manning looked around: "The English teacher isn't awake yet?"

Mai Sui shook her head.

Sun Manning came to the master bedroom, grasped the doorknob and turned it; the door opened a crack, she poked her head in, and before long, she pulled it back.

This girl stuck out her tongue and said: "Sleeping so soundly!"

Li Heng was curious: "How much did she actually drink?"

Sun Manning gestured: "At least over a jin of white liquor, my mom said so."

Li Heng frowned. In his impression, the English teacher loved to drink, but it was always to adjust her mood, pass the time, and relieve loneliness; she never drank much, usually 2 liang was the limit.

This time she actually drank over a jin?

Sun Manning said: "Let's go, let's go to my house to eat first, we'll leave some food for her later."

Since she wasn't awake, that was probably all they could do; Li Heng and Mai Sui followed her out the door.

Hearing the footsteps walk away, the English teacher in the master bedroom slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't move, nor did she want to; her head was dizzy. If she hadn't seen Mai Sui pressing his temples just now, she should have already gotten up.

"This is truly a rotten-to-the-core embryo!"

Recalling the scene she saw through the door crack just now of Mai Sui helping him press his temples, a woman's intuition told her that perhaps nothing had happened between the two, but Mai Sui might have already secretly given her heart to him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so focused and lost in thought while pressing his temples, to the point that she didn't even notice when she opened half the door.

"Meeting such a killer embryo who kills everywhere he goes, Yu Shuheng, can you control him?"

Wang Runwen sneered and also slowly sat up.

But she didn't get out of bed, instead leaning against the headboard to sober up.

"Ding-a-ling"

"Ding-a-ling"

Just as her thoughts were wandering and she was dazed, the sound of a phone rang in the living room outside.

She didn't want to answer it, but after hesitating for a moment, she got out of bed and walked out.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me."

A familiar voice came from the other side; who else could it be but Yu Shuheng?

"Heh! You didn't call on New Year's Day, why are you calling now?" Wang Runwen crossed her legs and sneered repeatedly.

Yu Shuheng swirled the coffee cup in her hand and said crisply: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Li Heng. Did he come to your place today?"

Wang Runwen narrowed her eyes and mocked: "You really know how to calculate time."

"Of course, he is a cat that loves to steal fish; I have to keep a tighter watch on him for you." Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly.

Wang Runwen passed the receiver to her left hand, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked: "You're a virgin yourself, can you control a cat that steals fish?"

Yu Shuheng stopped swirling the coffee, stared at the brown coffee in the cup, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Is there a situation?"

Wang Runwen said nothing.

After a while, Yu Shuheng asked: "Did you drink alcohol?"

Wang Runwen gave a "heh."

Yu Shuheng put down the coffee cup, straightened her body, and asked: "Taking advantage of being drunk, did you sleep with him?"

*Clatter*, the phone hung up.

Yu Shuheng turned her head to look at the receiver in her hand, then reviewed the entire conversation just now, and called back a moment later.

This time the phone rang 6 times before it was answered.

Yu Shuheng asked: "Is that Mai Sui?"

Wang Runwen mocked: "I thought you became stupid when you met him; I didn't expect you to be as shrewd as ever."

Yu Shuheng smiled meaningfully: "As for Mai Sui, I'm still relatively at ease; at least she won't crawl into his bed in the short term."

"Oh."

Wang Runwen gave an "oh," "You're so sure."

Yu Shuheng recited a name unhurriedly: "Song Yu."

Wang Runwen, however, was unimpressed: "Love is selfish."

Yu Shuheng stretched, picked up the coffee again, and said very confidently: "I've been with Mai Sui for so long, I consider myself a good judge of character. On the contrary, it's you; being lonely for too long makes it easy to get dizzy from his hormones."

Wang Runwen spat out the words through her teeth: "Break off relations!"

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Let's talk about Mai Sui; your reaction just now suggests you must have noticed something unusual."

Wang Runwen asked: "Why should I tell you?"

Yu Shuheng teased: "Because your chest isn't as big as mine."

Wang Runwen puffed out her chest and gave a "heh": "Wanna compare?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "Where is he?"

Wang Runwen said: "He went to Sun Xiaozhang's house next door with Mai Sui for dinner."

Yu Shuheng asked: "Why didn't you go?"

Wang Runwen said: "I drank too much at noon."

Yu Shuheng asked: "With Mai Sui?"

Wang Runwen tacitly agreed.

Yu Shuheng thought for a while and said: "It feels wrong; tell me about what happened today."

Wang Runwen asked: "Where should I start?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Start from when he knocked on your door."

Spending a few minutes, Wang Runwen recounted everything that happened today in detail, and finally asked: "What's wrong with it?"

Yu Shuheng didn't speak at first, and only after a long time did she speak: "The problem lies with Sun Manning."

Wang Runwen closed her eyes and recalled: "You mean, Mai Sui was specifically called over by her?"

Yu Shuheng said: "One hundred percent."

Wang Runwen remembered that Sun Manning hadn't gotten through on several phone calls earlier, and then told Li Heng to leave: "That's just a guess."

Yu Shuheng said: "Eat less papaya next time; don't just grow your chest and not your brain."

Wang Runwen cursed: "Get lost!"

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly: "Hanging up. With Mai Sui there, there's no share for you."

After finishing, she really hung up, and incidentally unplugged the phone line.

Wang Runwen raised an eyebrow and started dialing the phone, but it didn't go through.

She dialed again, still no connection.

Wang Runwen dialed three times in a row without success, then tossed the red receiver onto the coffee table casually without bothering to restore it; she pondered for a while, then got up and walked toward the door.
