Chapter 437: , Song Yu sees through Mai Sui
The car was an 80% new van. Song Song Song Shuyu pulled the car door open and greeted Li Heng and Sun Manning to get in.
Sun Manning sat in the front row with great eyesight.
Li Heng sat in the middle, and Song Yu sat with him.
Closing the car door, Song Yu took two bottles of soda from her bag, handed one to Sun Manning in the front row, and handed the other to him: "I also brought herbal tea, are you drinking soda or herbal tea?"
"I'm full of soda today, I'll drink herbal tea," Li Heng said.
Hearing this, Song Yu put the soda aside, took out a water cup from her bag, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to him.
Li Heng lowered his head and looked, blinked and asked: "Is this your water cup?"
Song Yu seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a faint smile in her eyes: "Yes."
"Eh, this water cup is beautiful, and the water must be delicious." Li Heng took the water and drank it like that.
Song Song Song Shuyu in the front row acted as a wooden man at this time, pretending not to hear the conversation between the two, and looking at the front of the car intently.
Sun Manning complained fiercely in her heart: I rely on! It's just a best friend, not as important as a heart-throb.
Really a bit thirsty, Li Heng drank half a cup of tea in one breath, then stopped, looked at the street outside, and asked: "This is not the direction to your house, is it going to Junshan Island?"
"Mm, the family is all over there," Song Yu answered.
"Family?"
Li Heng was a bit sharp and asked: "Are there many people on the island now?"
Song Yu told him: "Big aunt's family, little aunt's family, and my uncle and aunt and a cousin are also there."
"Ah? So many?" Li Heng was numb.
I'm just here to pursue my wife low-key, not to be a monkey for people to watch.
Song Yu smiled beautifully, "Are you nervous?"
"I'm only 19, can I not be nervous? But it doesn't matter, anyway, we will be a family in the future, and we will know each other sooner or later." Li Heng said thick-skinned.
He expressed his intention to come here clearly, without any sloppiness.
Song Yu looked at him, and didn't make a sound quietly.
Hearing this, Song Song Song Shuyu aimed at the two people in the back row through the inner mirror, especially her niece's expression, and laughed secretly, thinking that Li Heng's courage was really great.
However, Li Heng has the ability. This unpretentious courage is a great plus point for Song Song Song Shuyu.
It's not that she protects the calf, but everyone feels that her niece's saying that she is beautiful is shallow, and she has been admitted to Peking University. There are not many people in the world who can match her. And Li Heng is exactly the good man who can match perfectly in all aspects.
This is also the reason why the Song family, from grandparents to aunts, are all very satisfied with Li Heng. Otherwise, everyone is a person of status, will they come from all directions to support a hairy boy?
It is the attitude of the brother and sister-in-law that has always been a mystery. They neither publicly opposed Li Heng nor clearly expressed support for Yu Bao and Li Heng being together.
Similarly, Song Yu has never loosened her mouth. When the elders in the family ask, she answers that the two are good friends. Let everyone follow and worry for her.
In the eyes of the Song family, Li Heng has talent, looks, a sweet mouth, and academic qualifications. He is also sincere to Yu Bao. Such a top-notch man can't be found even with a lantern in the ten miles and eight villages. Why don't you answer?
Is it dragging to let other women drill holes?
Every time she thought of this, Song Song Song Shuyu was anxious for her niece.
Of course, Song Yu said that the two were just good friends, but everyone was not stupid, and their eyes were not clumsy. They could see that Yu Bao was different to Li Heng.
Or rather, for so many years, except for Li Heng, Yu Bao hadn't looked at any other heterosexuals, let alone prepared tea for him, brought him home, let alone being hugged by him at the bus station.
Such signs indicate that Yu Bao should have Li Heng in her heart, but to what extent? It's hard to guess.
The road to Dongtinghu is a bit far, and you have to take a boat in the middle. It wasn't until it was almost dark that the four of them boarded the island.
At this time, Song Shi and Song Grandpa were already waiting at the ferry. Seeing the four get off the boat, they ran over to help with luggage and ask for warmth.
Li Heng was as usual, shouting as soon as he met: "Grandpa, Uncle."
Song Shi nodded with a smile, "Here."
Song Grandpa was different, his face was full of kind smiles, "I haven't seen you for a year. I saw you last Mid-Autumn Festival. I know you like game and fish, so I prepared what you like to eat tonight."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Heng was full of joy.
Later, Song Shi and Song Grandpa didn't neglect Sun Manning and expressed their welcome to Sun Manning.
Talking and talking, Li Heng followed Song Yu to the Song family without knowing it.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, whoa! Good guy, the drying field is full of people, men and women, old and young, roughly scanned nearly 20 people, really scared to death.
If it were someone with a smaller courage, would he dare to come to the woman's house alone?
Li Heng is familiar with these people, and has dealt with them many times in his previous life.
But now he followed Song Yu obediently, Song Yu introduced one, he shouted one, shouted all the way, and the smile on his face was almost stiff.
Finally, Song Yu led him to the kitchen to see Jiang Yue. Li Heng shouted: "Aunt, you have worked hard."
Jiang Yue looked at Li Heng, then looked at her daughter on the side, and her attitude was okay: "Eh. After a day of car, are you tired? Yu Bao, you take Li Heng to rest for a while, there are two more dishes, and you will eat immediately."
Song Yu responded, turned around and took him to the second floor.
When the two went far, the smile on Jiang Yue's face gradually disappeared, and instead was shrouded in a worry.
Before the summer vacation, when she was in Shaoshi, she secretly asked someone to inquire. This Li Heng's heart is wild. He still has dealings with the Chen family girl, but he has ideas about Yu Bao here. This made her, as a mother, a bit angry.
But Yu Bao's attitude toward Li Heng, and the relationship between Yu Bao and Li Heng has not been put on the table, which made her unable to attack.
She and others in the Song family are the same. Putting aside prejudice, she is quite satisfied with Li Heng, thinking that he is completely worthy of her daughter.
The problem is that this person is not authentic.
Jiang Yue thinks: You should either treat Chen Chen Chen Zijin well, don't let down the girl, don't be two-minded; if you really like Yu Bao very much, then you should break contact with the Chen family girl, and then focus on pursuing Yu Bao.
Jiang Yue doesn't want much, the requirements are very simple, and she even thought: If Li Heng can be single-minded to her daughter, there is nothing to say, she, the mother-in-law, can put down everything and do the matchmaker herself.
In a word, seeing Li Heng, Jiang Yue's mood is very complex.
Why complex?
Because Li Heng is very amazing, beyond her imagination!
For a long time in the first half of the year, because *Bai Luyuan*'s description of the two-sex problem was too vivid, Li Heng once became a target of crusade, and the criticism of him in the newspapers never stopped, one after another.
But with *Bai Luyuan* ushering in the finale, with the big cattle and big coffee in the literary world coming down, the wind direction instantly turned, the situation instantly reversed, and Li Heng didn't need to come forward himself, and he had already become a big winner, winning a great reputation.
According to the big aunt's husband's statement pointing to the newspaper last night: Li Heng sealed the god in one fell swoop with *Bai Luyuan* and became one of the most influential writers in contemporary China.
Who is the big aunt's husband? Anyway, he is also the principal of Yueyang No. 1 Middle School, and he still has a share in society.
Ask, a literary genius with full talent favors her daughter, which mother is not happy?
The problem is that this person is not authentic.
Going to the second floor, Song Yu led him into a room by the window. It was clean and tidy, spotless. She said: "This room was specially cleaned by my mother and big aunt for you. You will make do with it."
"Didn't you participate?" Li Heng looked around, quite satisfied.
Song Yu looked at the bedding and said quietly: "The quilt cover, sheets, and pillows were all picked by me in the city, but I don't know if your preferences in the past six months have changed?"
"I am a person who misses old feelings, so my preferences will not change. It's quite good, I like it." Li Heng lay on the bed with his back, looking at her happily.
Looking at each other, Song Yu smiled indifferently and said: "Since you miss old feelings, then I will help you change it and change the quilt you covered last year."
Li Heng waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't, don't, the new one is also good, can't waste a cavity of hard work."
Song Yu stared at his eyes steadily for a while, and then asked kindly: "Why did you think of coming to see me in August."
"I promised last year." Li Heng said.
Song Yu asked: "If there was no promise, would you not come?"
Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, sat up, and looked at her.
Song Yu came to the window, pulled the curtains, and said: "A few days ago, I talked to Mai Sui on the phone and invited her and Manning to come over to play. Guess what she said?"
Li Heng said: "Her grandfather is not in good health, she wants to accompany her grandfather?"
"Yes, she used this reason to decline me."
As she spoke, Song Yu turned slowly and stared at him: "Li Heng, you have been to Shaodong. How is her grandfather's health now? Is it better than before the surgery?"
You look at me, I look at you, the room was dead silent for a moment, Li Heng's heart almost jumped to his throat. His brain was turning rapidly. He went to Shaodong, how did she know?
Sun Manning reported?
Should not be.
Mai Sui is afraid of facing Song Yu, and will not say it even more.
High school English teacher?
University Professor Yu?
Or someone else?
After a stalemate for a long time, Li Heng phrased it: "The spirit looks good, but..."
Song Yu waited for the following.
Li Heng thought about it, sighed and said: "I hope it is not a flash in the pan."
Hearing this, Song Yu paused, took back her gaze, and didn't speak for a long time.
Actually, everyone knows very well that Mai Sui refused Song Yu's invitation, and her grandfather's poor health was only one aspect. The deeper reason was that the two girls knew it well.
After all, coming to play is at most a few days, and it won't be delayed for long.
Mai Sui refused to come, what does it mean? It is most clear.
Song Yu was sad for this for several days.
She didn't blame Mai Sui, nor did she blame Li Heng, just felt that many things were changing, and could never find the original appearance.
She didn't blame Mai Sui too much. Because she saw it very thoroughly, with Li Heng's excellence today, without Mai Sui by his side, there would be Zhao Sui, Li Sui, Qian Sui, Sun Sui.
She just regretted that the once indestructible friendship lost its innocent taste because of a man, and it was difficult to let go for a while.
Similarly, she didn't blame Li Heng too much. Because Mai Sui became more charming day by day, and the other party had a crush on this man in front of her since high school. After living under the same roof for a long time, if nothing happened, it would be strange.
Before there was Chen Chen Zijin, and after there was Xiao Han, proving that Li Heng was not a person who followed the rules. Song Yu never had fantasies in this regard. Otherwise, her relationship with him would not have stopped here, hesitating.
After a silence, Song Yu raised her head and asked softly: "Li Heng, can I still believe you?"
Li Heng stood up, came to her side, and reached out to catch her hand, "Yes!"
After looking at each other for a long time, Song Yu used a little force to pull her hand back from his palm, and then turned to open the desk drawer, took out a letter from inside, and handed it to him: "Open it after leaving Dongtinghu."
Li Heng took the letter.
Looking down, the envelope was clean, there was no handwriting on it, and the envelope was slightly yellowed.
He couldn't help but ask: "When was it written?"
Song Yu said: "Yesterday. The envelope was prepared last Mid-Autumn Festival."
Li Heng looked at her in surprise.
Song Yu moved her gaze away, didn't look at him, her right fingertips tucked the broken hair by her ears, and asked quietly: "Do you still remember what you said last Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Li Heng recalled, scratching his head: "I stayed here for three days last year and said a lot of things to you. Which sentence are you referring to?"
Song Yu was quiet, and didn't make a sound.
After a while, just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from outside the door, and there was a shout: "Li Heng, Yu Bao, eat."
The voice came from Song Song Song Shuyu, the little aunt.
"Okay."
Song Yu responded, turned to him and said: "Let's go down to eat."
"Mm." Li Heng put the envelope into his bag and walked toward the door with her.
There were many people today, a full two and a half tables, but the Song family was not stingy, directly opening three tables, each table was 12 bowls, all the same dishes.
When washing hands, he met Sun Manning. Li Heng asked: "Where did you run? Why did you disappear as soon as you entered the courtyard?"
"Cut! With Song Yu here, do you still miss me? Old lady didn't want to be a light bulb, so I didn't follow you upstairs. Look! The luggage is still in the corner of the room." Sun Manning pointed to the corner of the room on the left.
Li Heng glanced at the backpack in the corner, thought about it and asked: "Song Yu knows I went to Shaodong, how do you think she knew?"
Sun Manning pointed to her nose, "You ask me?"
Li Heng nodded.
Sun Manning curled her lips, carrying her small hands and said disdainfully: "Give you a sentence: If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it.
These women you provoke, none of them are stupid girls, all are as refined as monkeys. It's better to sleep with me, I am so stupid, so innocent and cute!"
Li Heng's eyelids jumped and looked behind her.
Sun Manning noticed something wrong, turned around suddenly, and saw her best friend Song Yu. She was startled, her hands swayed, and she hurriedly clarified: "Song Yu, don't misunderstand, I'm just making a joke.
You should know, I am not beautiful enough, and I haven't reached his bottom line. Even if I am naked and lying in his bed, your man will not touch me. You must have confidence in your man, you know?"
Song Yu smiled, didn't entangle with her on this topic, "Go to the front and take your seat."
Getting the instruction, Sun Manning fled.
After the best friend ran far, Song Yu's expression changed, looking at him with interest, smiling without saying a word.
Li Heng sighed, "This girl is often tiger-headed and tiger-brained, and her words often don't go through the brain, but this sentence just now is really not wrong."
Song Yu smiled, asked: "Did you stimulate her at any time?"
Li Heng said: "You still know me best. The stack of newspapers she held today, did you see it? That is the reason."
Hearing this, Song Yu realized that the praise in the newspaper made Manning realize the difference in status between each other, and felt a sense of loss.
She said: "Let's go, let's go to eat, everyone is waiting for you."
"Eh."
There were many elders today. Li Heng wanted to sit at a table with young people, but the two aunts and uncles didn't let him. They dragged him to the main table. However, people had eyesight and called Song Yu over to sit with him.
And Sun Manning refused to come over, sat at the side table, and hit it off with a cousin of Song Yu.
Li Heng scanned a circle, except for himself and Song Yu, the others were elders. Grandma's bear! It's not easy to refuse when people toast, it seems that I will be drunk again today.
Just finished a glass with Song Grandpa and Song Yu's uncle, Song Yu pulled his sleeve under the table and reminded him in a low voice: "This burnt wine has a great aftertaste, do you want me to help?"
Li Heng asked in a low voice: "Drink for me?"
Song Yu had a faint smile in her eyes.
Li Heng asked in her ear: "Cheat with water?"
Song Yu hummed lightly.
Li Heng thought about it and said: "Forget it, they are so enthusiastic, it's rare to drink once, I'd better drink."
Seeing this, Song Yu didn't say anything, but picked up a few chopsticks of dishes he liked and put them in his bowl.
The intimate interaction between the two was seen by everyone in the room. At this time, the big aunt raised her glass and said to Li Heng with a smile: "Li Heng, come, big aunt will have a drink with you."
The tone and wording of Song's big aunt completely didn't treat him as an outsider, which made Li Heng feel very happy.
"Eh, thank you big aunt, I wish big aunt younger and younger." Li Heng always had a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and the impression was particularly good.
Drinking a sip of wine, the big aunt looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, then looked at Song Yu, and suddenly asked about Li Heng's family situation, "How many people are in your family now?"
This question seems to be off-topic, and it seems to be irrelevant, but everyone at the table quietly pricked up their ears. It is clear that the big aunt's question has deep meaning.
Regarding the family situation, Li Heng didn't make any concealment, nor did he have any false exaggeration. He told the truth about his parents, two sisters, and grandmother.
Listening carefully, the big aunt looked curious: "Your second sister opened a shop in Beijing to do business? What is it selling?"
Li Heng said, "Cakes, pastries, and the like."
Big aunt asked curiously: "It's not easy to settle in Beijing, how is the business?"
"Quite good, hired two helpers, too busy every day," Li Heng said truthfully.
Little aunt Song Song Song Shuyu inserted a sentence: "She is only two years older than you, why did she think of going there to do business?"
These are nothing to say, Li Heng combed through the situation of his father going to Beijing for medical treatment, and then his second sister doing business by the way.
Hearing this, big aunt asked: "Did you buy a courtyard house there? Where is the location?"
"On the side of the Drum Tower," Li Heng said.
Big aunt asked: "Is it far from Peking University?"
Li Heng said: "There is a slight distance."
Big aunt smiled and said: "Next time you go to Beijing, you can take Yu Bao to stroll around. If you are tired, you happen to have a temporary place to rest, so you don't have to be so rushed."
Whoa! Look at this, this big aunt has already put "support you to be together" on the table.
Not only Li Heng understood, but everyone in the room understood.
Suddenly, the little aunt and uncle also followed suit.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue didn't make a sound, her eyes wandered between Li Heng and her daughter, not knowing what she was thinking?
Li Heng secretly paid attention to Jiang Yue's expression, smiled and responded
The younger aunt poked the eldest sister under the table with her hand. The eldest sister understood, swept her gaze over Jiang Yue once more, and asked with a smile a question that everyone in the Song family had been wanting to know:
"By the way, Li Heng, Grandma was saying this morning that she wanted to check the horoscopes for you and Yu Bao. When did you two get together?"
What kind of nonsense horoscope is that?
The people in this room were very shrewd; the first half of the eldest aunt's sentence was just a pretext, and the latter part was the real key.
Moreover, the eldest aunt asked with great artistry; she didn't ask, "Are you two together?"
Instead, she skipped "Are you together?" and asked directly, "How long have you been together?"
Clearly, the eldest aunt and the younger aunt had sensed that the sister-in-law was acting strangely, and they were putting her on the spot, tentatively paving the way for Li Heng and Song Yu.
Hearing this, everyone in the room, one and all, turned their heads in unison, their attention fully focused on Li Heng.
