Chapter 482: , Chu-Han Boundary

Seeing Song Yu silent for a long time, Xiao Han, who was triumphant in her heart, became that natural pretentious girl again, smiled faintly, and turned her head to eat the dishes by herself.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table. Except for the shredded potatoes which she didn't like much, the rest were to her taste, and this black-bellied one ate very comfortably.

Song Yu watched her eat quietly until Xiao Han had finished half a bowl of rice, then asked calmly: "You came today, not just to find me to bicker, right."

"Yes, and no."

Xiao Han raised her head, her eyes bright, and said: "If you can't handle the few questions I asked before, I'll leave after eating."

Her meaning was very clear: if Song Yu couldn't handle three questions, it proved she was mediocre. She, Xiao Han, didn't deal with mediocre people, and mediocre people couldn't threaten her.

Song Yu's temperament was calm, and she didn't answer.

The two sides wrestled with their eyes for a while, and Xiao Han continued: "Although we have met countless times on the No. 1 High School campus before, this is the first time in such a formal occasion. Since you haven't left yet, you must not be letting him go, am I right?"

Song Yu acquiesced. Her character was relatively indifferent; she didn't easily hold people in her heart, nor could she hold extra people. As long as her heart was filled by someone, it was for a lifetime, and she wouldn't get off halfway.

Seeing the greatest love rival not deny it, Xiao Han put her chopsticks on the table, folded her hands together and said: "You want him, and so do I. But now, besides us, there are others who hold the same idea."

Some words are understood as soon as they are heard; Xiao Han came to seek an alliance.

Uh, saying it like that isn't entirely correct.

It should be said that she came to huddle together for warmth, to deal with external enemies together. But at the same time, the two would compete as they should.

Song Yu pondered for a moment and asked: "Besides Zijin and Mai Sui, who else is there?"

Xiao Han's eyebrows curved as she said: "Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

Song Yu nodded lightly: "I watched it."

Xiao Han said: "The one playing the violin has already entered the game, and I am observing the one playing the piano."

Song Yu recalled: "That Yu Laoshi?"

Xiao Han said: "She went to Shangwan Village this summer vacation and lived in the Li family."

Song Yu looked puzzled?

In her view, although that Yu Laoshi had a rich scholarly temperament and was a rare great beauty, she wouldn't dare to say she surpassed Xiao Han.

With Xiao Han's past calm, self-restrained, and arrogant character, why would she be afraid of the other party?

Could there be hidden circumstances?

Xiao Han had been observing her micro-expressions. Seeing this, she explained: "Yu Laoshi's full name is Yu Shuheng. Besides her excellent personal conditions, her family background is extremely powerful. According to my mentor, even if the Chen family were to face them, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

In addition, Yu Shuheng is 26 years old this year, 27 by lunar age, and has reached the age of marriage. The Yu family is likely to fan the flames. And we are both only 19 years old, with 3 or 4 years left until graduation; time waits for no one.

Plus, the one we like is relatively unfaithful, and out of the lesson learned from Zhao Jing and her daughter, Auntie Tian is likely to be sick and seek medical advice, finding someone to keep him in check.

Tell me, will Auntie Tian find you to keep him in check? Or find me? Or find Chen Zijin? Not to mention whether we can keep him in check, do you think Auntie Tian thinks we have the ability to keep him in check?"

Hearing this, Song Yu fell silent, and also understood Xiao Han's anxiety a bit.

Xiao Han wasn't afraid of Yu Shuheng, but was quite wary of the power behind Yu Shuheng, and even more worried that Auntie Tian would find the other party to keep Li Heng in check.

People can be aloof, can maintain a detached bearing, and never flatter others in their lifetime; but one must avoid blind arrogance and avoid failing to distinguish the trend of the situation. It was clear that Xiao Han was this kind of calm, self-restrained, yet clear-headed person regarding the trend.

Therefore, in the face of the difficulty of fighting alone, she could bend and stretch, decisively coming to Song Yu to seek to huddle together for warmth. What do the two women need most now?

What they need most is time to grow!

If they were snatched away by others before they grew up, that would be a fatal blow! It would also be a pain that couldn't be endured!

On this matter, although Song Yu had her own concerns, she also felt a bit of empathy.

Even though Li Heng had promised her more than once that he wanted to marry her. But facing such a complex external environment, many promises were often as fragile as paper in the face of actual situations.

If that Yu Laoshi was really as terrifying as Xiao Han said, she must look at her and Li Heng's relationship from a new perspective and re-examine his previous promises.

After her thoughts drifted for a long time, Song Yu asked: "What's the deal with Zhao Jing?"

Xiao Han asked back: "He never mentioned this person to you?"

Song Yu nodded: "He did. Last year, when he wrote 'Culture Bitter Travel,' he went to the Northwest. It is said that the inspiration for this book came from Zhao Jing's study. She and the Li family have a very close relationship."

Xiao Han said: "Zhao Jing once liked Li Jianguo, Li Shu. She and her daughter have a trait: they are both greedy for bedroom affairs. According to the simple-minded one, Zhao Jing's husband died of 'horseback wind' (stroke during intercourse), dying on his wife's belly.

Zhao Jing's daughter is named Li Ran, you should have met her. Currently, she has had 5 men, one of whom was sucked dry; another young master bled on her belly, and his body didn't fully recover after recuperating for over half a year. Auntie Tian and Li Shu know these things. Tell me, what will be their reaction when they go to Lushan Village and see Mai Sui?"

Song Yu was silent.

What was Mai Sui's biggest characteristic? Soul-stealing! In ancient times, she would absolutely be a peerless beauty of the Su Daji type, or a beauty who brings disaster to the country and people like the one who played with the feudal lords. She had a huge natural advantage in fascinating men.

Even Song Yu herself, in the matter of arousing Li Heng's desire, didn't dare to say she could win against Mai Sui 100% now, let alone in the future?

Therefore, when she learned that Li Heng and Mai Sui were ambiguous, one of the reasons she didn't excessively blame him was that after staying with such a woman for a long time, the body would naturally react. Quantity changes lead to qualitative changes, and when accumulated to a certain degree, many things just fall into place.

And precisely because of this, when Mai Sui never mentioned Li Heng in her letters over the past year, she had already vaguely sensed something was wrong.

It was just that Song Yu still held fantasies back then, holding a fluke mentality toward her best friend.

But reality was so cruel, so bloody. When everything changed, it didn't give her any time to react.

Song Yu asked with an orchid-like temperament: "Are these all things you guessed?"

Xiao Han said: "I'm afraid the truth is even more cruel than imagined."

Song Yu asked calmly: "How much certainty do you have?"

Xiao Han said: "Including you, 100%."

Song Yu pondered for a while and said: "What day are you returning to Shencheng?"

Xiao Han replied: "Tomorrow morning."

Song Yu said: "You go to Lushan Village to take a look first."

Hearing this, Xiao Han knew she hadn't come in vain today. She had both probed Song Yu and achieved her initial goal.

To be fair, Song Yu was smarter than she imagined, but she wasn't afraid at all; instead, she was eager to try. The smarter Song Yu was, the more meaningful the alliance would be.

Now she was worried that there wasn't enough time. When she fought for time in the future, how she would treat Song Yu would be the same—hand down the knife, not polite at all.

Of course, she felt Song Yu also held the same idea.

After all, there was only one man they were moved by, and both wanted him, so what to do? They could only rely on their own abilities.

Both were people who knew when to stop. After three rounds of confrontation, the two women were tied, with a record of one draw, one win, and one loss. After three rounds, the two women stopped at the right point and both withdrew their hands.

Because now wasn't the time for internal friction, otherwise it would only benefit others in vain. To resist foreign aggression, one must first settle internal affairs.

Even in some form, they could be considered to have reached a tacit understanding: first join forces to clear out others, then compete for the marriage certificate.

Or rather, the two women reached a preliminary consensus: the marriage certificate could only be produced between them.

Next was the peaceful meal time. Neither of them paid attention to the other, each eating their own, and their chopsticks never crossed the boundary, only picking the dishes on their own side.

This formed a strange phenomenon: the center of every bowl of dishes was preserved very completely, while the two sides of the center were more or less picked, or individual bowls were picked empty.

After eating, Xiao Han looked at the four hard dishes on the table and said with a smile: "It seems we are both people who follow the rules."

Song Yu understood the subtext of her words, "I'll wait for your news."

Xiao Han nodded, stood up and left, not looking back. After walking out of the restaurant, she disappeared without a trace in a while.

If it weren't for an empty bowl across the table, Song Yu would have thought everything just now was an illusion.

Sitting quietly for a while, Song Yu also left the restaurant. She first walked around the campus to organize her thoughts, finally returned to the dormitory, and started writing a letter to Zhang Zhiyong.

Asking about the situation of Li Ran and Zhao Jing and her daughter.

Actually, besides Zhang Zhiyong, Wang Laoshi Runwen also went to the Northwest with Li Heng last summer vacation.

But Wang Laoshi was a very close best friend of Yu Shuheng, and she didn't want to ask Wang Laoshi about these things.

At the same time, the simple-minded one had been quite respectful to her for the three years of high school and rarely lied. She believed that Zhang Zhiyong shouldn't lie this time either.

The reason for writing this letter was because she wanted to verify the authenticity of Xiao Han's words today, so as to decide what to do when joining forces in the future? And to what extent?

As for whether Zhang Zhiyong would turn around and tell him?

She didn't care.

Instead, she hoped to use Zhang Zhiyong's mouth to tell Li Heng. Li Heng was a sensitive person. If he really loved her that much, he would definitely react to her intention in doing so.

Maybe she wouldn't even need to take the initiative, and she would achieve the desired effect.

This was the highest realm of a good warrior having no glorious achievements: seeking from the momentum, solving problems without doing it personally, and not causing his resentment.

At the same time, it could indirectly verify some things: if Li Heng came to find her to talk about marriage in disguise, it proved Xiao Han's conjecture today was completely correct.

Proved Auntie Tian really found Yu Laoshi.

Proved the relationship between her and him had reached a level that must be guarded against.

Proved Mai Sui really had an affair with him.

One stone four birds, one letter probing four people, verifying four things, it couldn't be more perfect.

Song Yu had always felt that a woman being calculating wasn't a good thing, especially toward the man she liked, and even more so, she couldn't be that direct.

But sometimes it wouldn't work without strategy; being straight and direct would hurt feelings even more.

Perhaps, this indirect way of borrowing strength to hit strength was more suitable for her character.
