Chapter 615
Zhou Shihe's single sentence, "I have fallen in love with him."
Was equivalent to the two women completely tearing off their masks; the relationship between them had reached a boiling point!
Yu Shuheng would not back down, and Zhou Shihe, who had once been forced into a corner, would do so even less.
A silent confrontation ensued; the surrounding air felt as if it were about to solidify, as if it were about to condense into rain, making it incredibly suffocating!
Just as the atmosphere was at its most tense, a middle-aged woman in the seat in front summoned the flight attendant; half a minute later, the flight attendant left again.
The flight attendant's coming and going seemed to break some kind of deadlock; Yu Shuheng smiled and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to live at the head of the Yangtze River?"
Facing each other, Zhou Shihe said, "If he continues to pester me, then he must marry me."
As the saying goes, strike a snake at its seven-inch mark; Zhou Shihe could almost guess Yu Laoshi's emotional demands regarding Li Heng, so she used the words "marry me" to strike directly at her opponent's vital point.
The meaning behind her words was very simple: if you can control Li Heng's feelings, and if you have the ability, don't let Li Heng continue to love me, then this matter can be dropped from now on.
If that were the case, Zhou Shihe could also breathe a sigh of relief and, with the help of Yu Laoshi's restraining power, get rid of his entanglement.
And if Yu Shuheng couldn't control Li Heng's feelings, then sorry! You can't handle this man, so let me marry him instead!
How should one put it? Zhou Shihe's words were both offensive and defensive.
Offensive: Her feelings had found a destination, which she could naturally accept.
Defensive: Criticizing his rich romantic history, she, who was unwilling to give up, could leave as a free woman as she wished, which she could accept even more.
Every action and reaction, advancing and retreating with ease—it was truly impressive.
Advancing or retreating, no matter how she chose, Zhou Shihe held the winning hand and was not a loser.
Instead, Yu Shuheng would face a rather significant dilemma.
What dilemma would Yu Laoshi face?
Can you, Yu Laoshi, keep him in check? Do you have that kind of control? Do you dare to directly interfere in his private affairs with women?
If Yu Shuheng couldn't keep him in check, it would be equivalent to slapping herself in the face; from now on, Li Heng's other confidantes would no longer fear her powerful background and would challenge her one after another!
If Yu Shuheng used forceful means to keep Li Heng in check, the process wouldn't be so pleasant; Li Heng would certainly harbor resentment, and Li Heng's other confidantes would automatically stand on the opposite side of Yu Laoshi, which is equivalent to directly setting up a whole bunch of romantic rivals for herself.
Moreover, those romantic rivals were all highly educated beauties, and none of them were pushovers; even if Yu Shuheng could be proud for a moment and suppress them temporarily, who could say what the future would look like?
Zhou Shihe felt that Yu Shuheng didn't quite dare to interfere excessively in Li Heng's affairs with women; this could be guessed from the other party's emotional progress, which had always been hesitant.
Yu Shuheng narrowed her eyes, and a trace of danger flashed by quickly.
Only now did she realize that this seemingly fragile Zhou family woman was even more formidable and difficult to deal with than she had imagined; it seemed that every word the other party said carried deep meaning, every word was not spoken randomly, and every word carried strategy and planning, as if every word could precisely hit her pain points.
Yu Shuheng restrained her smile, her expression serious: "You should know the simple truth that it is cold at the heights. The source of the Yangtze River is in a high-altitude area, a desolate place; wanting to marry and have children with him there, not only must you be able to endure loneliness, but you must also be able to withstand the test. Your body is so delicate, you fall at the slightest breeze; I'm afraid you don't have that ability."
Well then, the two women's words were more ferocious than the last, more lethal than the last, and more direct than the last.
Every word carried past grievances, and every word used the kindest tone to try to kill the other party!
Zhou Shihe's tone was soft, yet she countered tit-for-tat: "Yu Laoshi, you are my university teacher and taught me college English. Since I was a child, my family has taught me to respect teachers and value morality; it is only right that I let you have one move and let you go first."
"If you can keep him in check, I bless you; if you can't, then I will. As for whether I have that ability? I will give you the answer in the future."
The phrase "respect teachers and value morality" was reasonable and well-founded on the surface, reflecting Zhou Shihe's good upbringing. But underneath, it implied that Yu Shuheng disregarded her status as a teacher and fell in love with her own male student—how ironic!
And the other phrase, "then I will" and "I will give you the answer," showed her full confidence—how domineering!
Her words didn't contain a single dirty word, but every sentence could be said to pierce the heart!
It still echoed that saying, echoing Zhou Shihe's life motto: If others don't offend me, I won't offend them; if others offend me, I will return it in full.
Yu Shuheng secretly took a deep breath, and just as she moved her red lips to speak, a male voice yawning came from the side.
Hearing this, Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng subconsciously looked over together, looking at Li Heng.
In the sight of the two women, Li Heng lazily raised his hands, yawned twice in his mouth, then struggled to open his eyes and asked confusedly, "Teacher, where have we arrived?"
Seeing that he spoke to her first, Yu Shuheng gave a refined smile, swept a glance at the romantic rival opposite without leaving a trace, and told him, "We have already arrived in the Netherlands, and we will be landing in a while."
Li Heng was stunned: "So fast?"
"Still fast? You slept the whole way, you were almost drooling." Saying this, Yu Shuheng took out a tissue and handed it to him.
Li Heng took the tissue and asked, "Teacher, how long did you nap?"
Yu Shuheng said, "I just woke up too."
"That's great, we didn't sleep much last night, we can make it all up on the flight."
After saying a few words, Li Heng's mind was much clearer, and then he asked Zhou Shihe, who had turned her gaze outside the plane at some point: "Comrade Shihe, did you rest for a while?"
"Mm, I just woke up too," Zhou Shihe said softly.
Just woke up, my foot! The two women had been fighting for a long time!
Yawning a few more times, Li Heng's mind became completely clear, only to see him sit up straight and mutter, "So hungry, did you bring any snacks?"
Yu Shuheng originally wanted to call the flight attendant over.
Unexpectedly, this young man turned his head and asked Zhou Shihe directly: "Did you bring any White Rabbit Creamy Candies today?"
Zhou Shihe was quiet and didn't speak, just reached her right hand into her bag and took out a handful of candies to hand to him.
Sure enough, it was all White Rabbit Creamy Candies.
