Chapter 595: , the messy game

~8 min read 1,438 words

A thought flashed through Zhou Shihe's mind: what should I do?

Should I continue to be magnanimous? Forgive him, and get along with him as usual?

Or tear my face with him?

Or tell Mai Sui?

You know, according to her original nature, when he dared to profane her in Xiyuan before, she would have slapped him the first time.

And this time, she endured it twice, only then barely slapped his hand away, and her right hand was raised heavily, but she unloaded half of the force in the process of falling.

You know, according to her original nature, she would definitely have turned her face and left tonight, never paying attention to Li Heng again, and being a stranger from then on.

But she inexplicably endured it, inexplicably just slapped away his hand that was ambiguous to her, just symbolically stared fixedly at him, forcing him back, and didn't say a word!

This, to a certain extent, was giving herself, and also him, a step down.

At this very moment, many past memories flashed through her mind one by one: from holding hands, hugging, and him accidentally kissing her mouth while skiing in the Northeast; from living in the same room in the capital to hearing him call her name in his sleep in the middle of the night; from practicing "Hometown's Scenery" to the tacit interaction between the two on the Spring Festival Gala stage; from him secretly looking at her in a daze from time to time to catching her taking a bath...

With thousands of thoughts, Zhou Shihe reflected: when did it start? Why did she, who had "never looked at men with a straight face since she was a child" in the mouths of many relatives and friends, become so tolerant of him? Not to mention that he was a philandering man.

Is it because he is different?

Because he is a great writer? Is it because she especially likes the words he wrote?

Is it because he is a legendary musician in the mouth of the official media? Does she especially love those 10 pure music albums?

Is it because she cares about her friendship with him?

Or is it because he is the man Mai Sui loves?

In the study, Zhou Shihe was contradictory to the extreme. University was almost halfway through, and she had only made three true friends: Mai Sui, Sun Manning, and Ye Ning.

If she fell out with him, Mai Sui loved him so much, she would definitely leave her.

Manning and he were high school classmates and desk mates. Although Manning always picked on Li Heng, that was just joking and looking for fun. If she really had to choose between herself and Li Heng, she felt Manning would choose him without hesitation.

And Ye Ning, she had always admired Li Heng, plus the factors of Sui Sui and Manning, and the reason Ye Zhanyan fell in love with Li Heng, she would mostly stand on Li Heng's side.

Since she was a child, she hadn't had many true friends. Because their habits were similar, Zhou Shihe cherished this friendship very much and used all her heart to make these four friends.

Otherwise, with her background and conditions, it would be impossible to cook for four outsiders.

Even less possible to be busy for him to entertain guests.

Nor would she run to Lushan Village on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Why did she rush to Lushan Village today?

Zhou Shihe's reason for herself was: the performance in Singapore was especially important to the teacher, and it couldn't be messed up. Now she had something to ask of Li Heng, so she came to accompany him to show her respect for him.

As for the deeper reason for appearing in Lushan Village on the third day of the Lunar New Year, when the sentence "I fell in love with Miss Zhou at first sight" appeared in her mind, she cut it off in time and didn't dare to let the thought extend any further.

She was very scared!

Scared of coming to a conclusion that even she couldn't accept: being brainwashed by that sentence of his, having different feelings for him.

She was scared that she had fallen into the invisible and colorless love net he had carefully woven, and had fallen for him.

Zhou Shihe sat blankly on the chair, distressed. She was weighing: she really didn't want to completely deny this deep friendship because of his helping her smooth her hair. Telling Mai Sui was easy, but how to face Mai Sui afterwards?

In Lushan Village, everyone she was familiar with had a deep relationship with him. Should she move back to the dormitory later and spend her junior and senior years alone?

However, these were not the most important points.

She vaguely felt: although Li Heng was a world-renowned great musician who had achieved success, a great writer who was second to none in the country, with money, status, and prestige.

But he was only 19 years old, and it would be a few months before he turned 20. A man of this age was just when he was full of vigor. When alone, facing her, it was not completely incomprehensible that he couldn't control himself for a moment.

Zhou Shihe had unparalleled confidence in her charm. She believed that as long as she wanted, not many men could resist her.

This confidence was not blind, but rooted in her excellent external conditions and internal conditions, rooted in her family.

Unknowingly, Zhou Shihe began to make excuses for Li Heng, began to shrink Li Heng's act of helping her smooth her hair to the definition of "man's impulse," thereby making herself feel at ease.

Although she had long ago seen through that he had strange feelings for her. But at least before tonight, Li Heng was still very restrained. Even if he had strong emotional fluctuations toward her, he finally collected all distracting thoughts and didn't deliberately offend her.

After being uneasy in the study for a while, Zhou Shihe controlled her thoughts and didn't think about the direction where Li Heng would further move his hands and feet on her, where she would accept his feelings, and where she would have something happen with him in the future.

Because she understood one thing very well: Li Heng's love for Xiao Han was very sincere, he was also very doting on Mai Sui, and Teacher Yu probably wouldn't give up her pursuit of him. It was not an easy thing for other women to easily get involved.

With thousands of thoughts, she completely calmed down the idea of tearing her face with him and put away the idea of having a showdown with Mai Sui.

She wanted to participate in the teacher's performance in Singapore smoothly.

She wanted to spend her university years safely and then talk about it.

Sitting quietly in the study for a long time, Zhou Shihe was a bit tired, and her feet were a bit numb.

She stood up, bent down to rub the numb part of her lower leg, then steadied her mind, and walked toward the outside of the study.

There was actually no one in the living room on the second floor.

Zhou Shihe subconsciously scanned the master bedroom. The master bedroom door was closed, and no light shone through under the door crack.

She thought for a while, walked toward the stairwell, and began to go downstairs.

Just as she got halfway down, just as she got to the corner, she stopped.

Because she bumped into someone head-on.

At this time, Li Heng was holding two bowls in his left and right hands, and the bowls were filled with sweet wine and three fried eggs.

Seeing him suddenly, Zhou Shihe's left hand involuntarily gripped the wooden handrail, her heart was complicated but she appeared extremely stable on the surface, just looking at him quietly like that.

Sweet wine with fragrance, after looking at each other for a while, Li Heng broke the deadlock first: "I rushed on the road all day today, dinner was noodles at Zhang Zhiyong's place, maybe because I didn't eat rice, I always felt it wasn't right, so I made sweet wine fried eggs. Have you eaten this thing? Taste it?"

Well, the reason he made sweet wine fried eggs.

That was because besides eggs and sweet wine, there was basically nothing else in the kitchen, so he couldn't make any other tricks at all.

Because of what happened before, Zhou Shihe instinctively wanted to refuse.
