Chapter 555

For two consecutive days, because the snow was too heavy and affected flights, Li Heng had to stay in the capital temporarily.

On the first day, Li Heng focused on accompanying Song Yu, going to class with her, going to the cafeteria with her, going to the library with her, and even taking a walk on campus together in the evening.

In the eyes of all the Peking University alumni, the two were very loving and especially romantic.

And on the second day, which was Friday.

Li Heng asked her: "I remember you only have class in the morning today, right?"

Song Yu understood the subtext of his words: "There are also classes in the fifth and sixth periods in the afternoon; a teacher is making up a class. But it's not an important class; I can ask for leave if needed."

Li Heng said: "I'm going to handle some things in the morning, come back at noon to eat with you, and take you to New Future to look around in the afternoon."

The New Future Tutoring School was making a big splash in the capital, and even people from Peking University were running over to sign up for study abroad training classes. Song Yu was also a bit curious and agreed.

Leaving Xila Hutong, the two first went to the cafeteria for breakfast, then hurried to the Law School.

Arriving at the lobby of the teaching building, Li Heng stopped: "I'll be going then."

Song Yu said quietly, "Okay," and handed him the black cloth umbrella in her hand.

It was class time, and there were many students coming and going. The two didn't linger too much; after a look of mutual understanding, they separated.

But just after leaving the Law School for less than 50 meters, they ran into Xiao Feng head-on.

He was stunned for a moment, walked over, and asked: "Classmate Xiao Feng, are you waiting for me?"

Xiao Feng glanced toward the Law School gate, then walked toward a small path on the side: "Follow me."

Li Heng followed.

Leaving the area where the Law School was located, the two finally stopped at the edge of a grassy area with no one around.

As soon as he steadied himself, Xiao Feng asked: "Did you really sleep with Song Yu?"

Li Heng looked at her without rushing to speak. Because he hadn't figured out what kind of medicine this girl was selling in her gourd yet.

Xiao Feng said: "I'm still very shocked now; you're only sophomores, and Song Yu actually consummated the marriage with you."

Li Heng pondered for a while, "Xiao Han asked you to ask this, right?"

Xiao Feng was deflated, then retorted: "Is my expression that fake? How did you guess it so quickly?"

Li Heng was speechless: "It seems you've been on the phone with Xiao Han these past two days."

Xiao Feng didn't hide it: "Called Professor Wen Yan's house."

Li Heng asked: "What did you say?"

Xiao Feng was honest: "I said everything I saw."

Li Heng was speechless.

Xiao Feng asked: "Do you think I'm too much of a nuisance?"

Li Heng thought that was exactly the case, but he didn't say it out loud.

Xiao Feng sighed: "You're so smart, how could you not know that Song Yu intended for me to pass on the message?"

Li Heng was depressed: "You're not slow to react."

Xiao Feng said guiltily: "Not at all. It was only after I finished talking to Xiao Han and heard Hanhan not making a sound on the other end of the phone for a long time that I realized it in hindsight, and knew I had fallen for Song Yu's trick."

Li Heng sighed.

Xiao Feng said apologetically: "I'm sorry. Xiao Han once did me a huge favor. She asked about your whereabouts in the capital, so I told her the truth."

Li Heng was speechless: "You know Sun Manning and Mai Sui, right? They never interfere in my private emotional affairs."

Xiao Feng defended herself: "Sun Manning doesn't dare to say. But isn't Mai Sui standing on your side unconditionally just because she loves you?"

Li Heng narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Feng laughed to herself and took a step back: "Yangcheng told me in a letter that Mai Sui often stays at your house. A woman that beautiful, if she didn't have feelings for you, would she be stupid enough to ruin her reputation and live with you? Based on my shallow understanding of Mai Sui, she shouldn't be that kind of person without a sense of propriety."

Li Heng cursed angrily: "Yangcheng, that degenerate, I must drink him to death next time we drink."

Xiao Feng said: "Don't scold him; he didn't mean it. He probably still doesn't know that he was the one who told me: Mai Sui lives with you."

Li Heng's mind stirred, and he asked: "Yangcheng tells you everything; is he pursuing you?"

Perhaps feeling sorry for him, Xiao Feng was very frank: "Yes, he's been a toad wanting to eat swan meat since junior high school. I'm almost annoyed to death by him."

Li Heng circled her, "You really, really are! I always thought you were a decent girl before."

Xiao Feng said: "Then you thought wrong. Who among those who can get into Peking University isn't lively in their heart?"

Li Heng circled her again, "You have such a good relationship with Song Yu now, are you going to help Xiao Han pit Song Yu in the future?"

Xiao Feng said: "I won't help anyone in the future. The favor I owed Xiao Han is paid off."

Li Heng widened his eyes: "It's all by betraying me to pay off the favor; does this count as you owing me a favor?"

Xiao Feng was confused, waited a while, and said: "You seem to have a point."

Then she asked: "Wait, so I owe you a favor now?"

Li Heng hummed and said unhappily: "Of course."

Facing his ill-intentioned eyes, Xiao Feng covered her forehead and said: "Uh, okay, just order me if you have anything in the future; I'll weigh whether I can help you?"

Li Heng nodded, satisfied, and turned to leave.

Leaving Peking University, Li Heng bought a hat, tied on a scarf, and then hurried to a pastry shop near Renmin University.

"Boss, do you take custom birthday cake orders here?" He asked upon entering.

Li Lan was busy with her head down and didn't have time to look up: "Yes, which kind do you need?"

Li Heng poured a cup of water and drank: "The most expensive one."

Li Lan's eyebrows locked, then she raised her head and stared at him fiercely. After sending the customer away, she immediately started her "fragrant mouth" mode: "Look at the good things you've done these past few days; you still have the face to come here. Zijin's heart has been broken."

Li Heng asked with concern: "How is Zijin?"

Li Lan blamed: "Mom, Dad, and I have been accompanying her these past two days; she's okay, I guess. Can you not be so high-profile in the future? Can't you see Song Yu secretly?"

Li Heng replied: "Can't be low-profile; Song Yu is too beautiful, and your younger brother is too famous."

Hearing this nonsense, Li Lan wanted to kick him: "Go find people quietly; don't hold roses. If you don't listen to advice, next time I'll call Zijin to Peking University to block you and see how you end it."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, "Got it. Haven't I not seen Song Yu for a long time? I wanted to give her a surprise."

Mentioning Song Yu, Li Lan immediately became concerned and asked: "These two nights, has Song Yu been with you at the Sihe Academy in Xila Hutong?"

Li Heng nodded.

Li Lan leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Then did you sleep with her?"

Li Heng looked at her.

Li Lan curled her lips: "If you look at me with those eyes again, be careful I dig your eyeballs out. Mom and Dad are also concerned about this question."

Li Heng thought for a while and said: "Slept in the same bed."

Li Lan asked: "What does that mean?"

Li Heng said: "Nothing happened."

Li Lan asked: "I know, I heard it; I don't need you to explain. My meaning is, you slept in the same bed and nothing happened; did you suddenly become impotent?" Li Heng was unhappy: "Hey, can you speak properly? I'm your biological brother after all."

"It's true you're my biological brother, but you suddenly became such a gentleman, which doesn't fit the character of my lecherous brother." Li Lan said seriously.

Li Heng rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Song Yu is different from others; I can't bear to."

Li Lan looked at him, then looked at him again, and finally restrained her expression: "Sure enough, what's delivered to the door isn't valuable; what can't be sought is the true god. It seems you're determined to marry Song Yu."

Without waiting for his reply, Li Lan said: "Since you're free today, do you want to take Song Yu to see Mom and Dad? The old couple has been clamoring to see Song Yu for a long time. Mom even asked me about this this morning."

Li Heng replied: "Not today."

Li Lan asked: "Why?"

Li Heng said embarrassedly: "I haven't completely won Song Yu over yet."

Li Lan sneered: "Trash! Sleeping in the same bed and not doing it, and you're not a pure person, so why pretend to be a saint."

Li Heng countered: "Single dog, what do you know?"

Li Lan was so angry she grabbed two pieces of bread and threw them at him: "I don't know, but I wouldn't do such a scandalous thing as you. I think Song Yu is blind too, actually giving you, this dog-skin plaster, a chance."

Alright, this conversation couldn't go on; Li Heng stood up and was about to leave.

Li Lan didn't want to keep him at all, just asked casually: "Where are you going?"

Li Heng walked out of the shop door: "If this place doesn't keep me, there's another place that will; why ask."

Li Lan asked: "When are you leaving?"

Li Heng replied: "Tonight."

Li Lan teased: "Tonight? You unfilial son, you're not even going to see the old couple?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "Forget it, talk about it next time. Next time I'll come specifically to visit Zijin."

Returning to Peking University after lunch, Li Heng took Song Yu to the New Future Tutoring School.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Old Mabu and Wang Ye.

Staring straight at Song Yu, Wang Ye almost lost her focus and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, is this your girlfriend?"

She didn't even call him boss, directly calling him Mr. Li; one can imagine the impact Song Yu had on her.

Li Heng said yes.

After confirmation, Wang Ye greeted Song Yu and left, the dimness in her eyes flashing and disappearing. She understood a bit now; no wonder the boss didn't gamble with her; it turned out he had such a fairy-like companion.

After Wang Ye walked away, Song Yu sighed and said: "Yingwen, you're a bit darker than before, and also much more mature."

Yang Yingwen took Song Yu's hand and walked toward the office: "I work for your partner, so naturally I have to do my best; the environment tempers people. Why did you come here today?"

Song Yu smiled and looked at Li Heng.

Pouring tea for the two, Old Mabu caught Li Heng and asked: "What's the meaning of this? Don't be silent."

Li Heng said: "No special meaning, I just brought your boss's wife over to get familiar with the place."

Yang Yingwen was confused, and after a while, she pulled Li Heng to the corridor outside and asked secretly: "Where did Xiao Han lose?"

Li Heng said leisurely: "What loss? They are all my women, and I don't just have this one industry."

Yang Yingwen couldn't believe it: "God! My God! Song Yu really agreed to be with you? Really willing to share a husband with other women?"

Li Heng asked back: "Do you think she's that kind of casual person?"

Hearing this, Yang Yingwen muttered to herself: "Also, Song Yu is hard to get. But your moral kidnapping method is indeed used to perfection; high-profile love in Peking University, Dongting Lake made it known to everyone, she was forced by you to have no way out, right? In the future, she can only marry you."

Li Heng argued: "I'm not that unbearable."

"Pfft, ghost believes! If I were as beautiful as Zijin and the others, I guess I would have been eaten clean by you long ago, and you wouldn't have given me the nickname Old Mabu when I was young." Yang Yingwen squinted at him, looking like she saw through him completely.

Li Heng grinned: "Alright, just because you didn't tell me when you decided to, I wouldn't want you."

Yang Yingwen was annoyed, "Try again, I wouldn't care about a stinky hooligan like you who only knew how to fight in junior high."

"Right, look, isn't it perfect? I don't want you, you don't care about me, we're a perfect match as friends." Li Heng said shamelessly.

Yang Yingwen said: "Are you forcing me to take sides?"

Li Heng said: "No, don't overthink it; I just purely brought Song Yu over for a trip. After all, I only have this one industry in the capital; it's not good not to bring her over to see it for so long."

Yang Yingwen listened half-believingly, didn't ask again, returned to the office, and enthusiastically greeted Song Yu.

After drinking tea, the three of them toured the New Future Tutoring School well, and Song Yu asked: "Yingwen, do you often skip class?"

Yang Yingwen was a bit embarrassed: "You've heard about it?"

Song Yu smiled and nodded: "You're very famous now; people in our school call you the little boss of New Future."

Li Heng interjected: "Often skipping class, will the school punish you?"

Mentioning this, Yang Yingwen looked a bit proud: "The counselor and the director talked to me. Seeing that I didn't fall behind in my grades, not only did they not punish me, but they also encouraged me to apply what I learned more."

"Enlightened." Li Heng praised.

Chatting, the sky began to darken, and the few of them had dinner at New Future.

After the meal, Li Heng sent Song Yu back to Peking University, and then the two walked side by side in the snow for a long distance, finally saying reluctantly: "Tonight's flight, I'm leaving."

Song Yu looked into his eyes: "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road, have a safe trip."

Li Heng then instructed, "Write me a letter every half month; no slacking off."

Song Yu smiled.

After hesitating for a moment, later, under the gaze of a crowd of alumni in the snow, she took the initiative to hug him and whispered in his ear: "After next year, I'll accompany you to see your uncle and aunt."

Hearing this, Li Heng, who was originally in low spirits, was suddenly in a great mood and asked excitedly: "Is this true?"

"True, but you have to work hard." Song Yu said with a faint smile in her eyes, letting go of him.

Li Heng subconsciously asked: "What do you mean I have to work hard? Work hard to pursue you?"

Song Yu smiled without saying a word; everything was said without words.

With this smile, Li Heng's hair stood on end, and he suddenly sobered up more than half.

He thought, next year is only one year away; if I stay steady and keep it together, won't this wife be safely in my hands?

Seeing someone off for a thousand miles, there is always a parting.

Song Yu personally sent him to the school gate, watched the minibus driven by Wang Ye disappear at the end of the street, and then slowly turned around and entered the school.

Actually, she didn't say the time point "next year" casually, but thought about it seriously and cautiously.

After next year, it meant the junior year was over, and the senior year had begun.

It meant that the lifelong event after graduation could be included in the scope of life priorities.

Youth is like a flower, but the flowering period is limited; marriage is a path every woman must take. When the day really comes, she won't escape.

Next year, she is going to Fudan University; many things are destined not to be peaceful. If he can stick to his original heart, even if there are flaws, he can still be considered a good person.
