Chapter 618

20 minutes later, Yu Shuheng and Xu Li returned to the hotel lobby on the first floor.

Seeing her childhood friend sitting on the sofa in the rest area without moving, Xu Li asked: "They are a lone man and a lone woman in one room, you don't go upstairs to take a look, are you really that at ease?"

Yu Shuheng said magnanimously: "No need."

Xu Li asked: "What if the two of them are in bed, are you still at ease?"

Yu Shuheng's eyes revealed something strange, and she asked back: "If they are really in bed, do you expect me to go up and angrily separate them?"

Xu Li was speechless.

For a long time, Xu Li sighed: "Whoever becomes your husband in the future will be very happy."

Yu Shuheng smiled slightly: "That depends on whether they have that qualification first."

Just as the two women were chatting, Li Heng appeared in their sight, and Zhou Shihe followed behind him silently as usual.

At this time, Li Heng and Zhou Shihe couldn't see any abnormality in their expressions, as if the kiss hadn't happened, as if they hadn't been slapped, and they tacitly acted like nothing had happened in front of outsiders.

He walked over to greet them: "Yu Laoshi, Sister Xu."

Yu Shuheng stood up and said: "We won't go to Chinatown today, I'll take you and Shihe to eat steak, how about it?"

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe looked at each other, naturally having no objections.

After ordering, while waiting for the meal, Yu Shuheng told the two: "Xu Li and I went to the venue for this performance—the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw; tomorrow morning we have to go through the process, and we will perform on stage in the afternoon."

Li Heng asked: "Is it far?"

Yu Shuheng said: "It can't be considered far, about 20 minutes by car."

Not long after, the steak and pasta Li Heng ordered came up; he first took a bite of the steak and felt it was very good. Then another bite of pasta, oh my god, he had an urge to run back to the country to eat stir-fried rice noodles at a night market stall.

The whole dinner was a bit quiet; it was always Li Heng, Yu Laoshi, and Xu Li chatting.

Zhou Shihe didn't make a sound, unless someone took the initiative to talk to her, she would respond with a smile; the rest of the time she automatically acted as an invisible person.

Li Heng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. But whether it was Yu Laoshi or Zhou Shihe, they were both top-tier women with first-class personal and family conditions; they both had their own pride, and even if he was capable, he couldn't resolve the conflict between the two women in a short time.

Must think of a way, he thought to himself.

After finishing a steak and a pasta, he was 70% full.

Among the four, Zhou Shihe's food came the slowest; she scanned Li Heng, then scanned the steak in front of her, and remained silent.

The moment their eyes met, Li Heng understood her meaning, a bit surprised, and a bit flattered, a bit unable to believe his eyes!

This?

Did she think she couldn't finish it and wanted to share some steak with him?

I couldn't be having an illusion, could I?

Could it be that my eyes were dazzled?

It should be that my eyes were dazzled; she just slapped herself twice in the room, there was no way she would share food with him so quickly.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhou Shihe glanced at him again.

Oh wow! This time he wouldn't be wrong, it was true!

So Li Heng tentatively moved his white porcelain plate a few inches, moving it to her right side.

This action immediately attracted the attention of Yu Shuheng and Xu Li across the table, and the two women cast their gazes over.

Although being watched by the other three at the table, Zhou Shihe's expression was calm, she went her own way, completely unaffected by others.

Only to see her holding a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, calmly dividing half of the steak into Li Heng's white porcelain plate.

After doing all this, she lowered her head to cut the steak while eating it in a composed manner.

Zhou Shihe was a person with very good upbringing; she usually never spoke loudly, never cursed, and rarely heard her speak ill of others behind their backs; even when eating, she was completely in the style of a young lady from a wealthy family, slowly and methodically, putting it into her mouth in small bites.

This composure of Zhou Shihe made Xu Li secretly anxious for her childhood friend, and she couldn't help but ponder: Shuheng has met a real opponent this time, I hope she doesn't lose.

Yu Shuheng looked at Zhou Shihe, then glanced at Li Heng, who took back the white porcelain plate, with no waves on her face, but in her heart, she was thinking:

Is Zhou Shihe going to get into this muddy water?

Or is she doing it on purpose for me to see?

Or is Zhou Shihe simply sharing food with Li Heng from the bottom of her heart?

After thinking about it, Yu Shuheng felt that the third possibility was the greatest.

But it was precisely the third one that was what she feared the most. What did this explain?

It explained that Zhou Shihe understood Li Heng the best and cared about Li Heng the most; she understood he wasn't full and observed that he loved steak, so she shared half of the steak with him.

Clearly, the time they had known each other was about the same, yet Zhou Shihe understood the young man better than she did; at this moment, the string in Yu Shuheng's heart tightened: this romantic rival is very powerful; whether it is appearance, family, or talent, or even details of life, none of them can be picked out as faulty.

Li Heng didn't think so much, nor did he want to think about it.

He only knew that after eating this half portion of steak from Zhou Gu Niang, the tense relationship formed by the kiss and the slap was greatly eased.

He regarded the steak as a signal of goodwill released by Zhou Gu Niang to him.

Therefore, he accepted it.

It was indeed so. Although Zhou Shihe was angry that he kissed her, she didn't blame all the responsibility on him.

There is a good saying, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

The reason why he dared to be so impulsive to kiss her, she felt, was due to two points:

One was caused by her own charm.

Since she was a child, she had unparalleled confidence in her appearance and temperament. After a long time together, she saw clearly that Li Heng would fall in love with her regardless of everything, and she wasn't surprised at all.

Second, she herself revealed flaws.

In the past, Li Heng also had feelings for her, but he always hid them well and kept them very deep; sometimes, in order to curb the desire in his heart, he would deliberately avoid being with her.

At that time, even if the two lived in the same room, they were always respectful as guests from beginning to end.

And ever since the trip to Singapore, he suddenly became bold and unscrupulous.

The reason for all this was nothing more than the accident that happened when dancing at the Raffles Hotel; after he had evil thoughts about her and put them into practice, the punishment he received was pitifully small.

Then, following this line, he might have guessed her thoughts, might have had thoughts of falling in love with her.

This discovery surprised him very much.

This also caused him to neglect the boundary issue between the two, so today, in a specific environment, he dared to hug her further and dared to kiss her further.

Recalling the past, Zhou Shihe asked herself, does she regret it?

Regarding this, she was confused, and she didn't know either?

If...

If he were single, if there were no other confidantes around him, even if Zhou Shihe was incredibly depressed in her heart, she wouldn't...

Thinking of this, Zhou Shihe glanced at someone with the corner of her eye, forcibly cut off her thoughts, and didn't let her thoughts spread.

After dinner, the four of them walked for a while outside. During this process, Li Heng tried his best to reconcile the two women and tried his best to lead the topic to the common points of the two women.

Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng might have felt his sincerity and worry, and they broke a few sentences during the period, but not many.

Around 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Li was picked up by her husband Xu Sheng.

Li Heng, Yu Shuheng, and Zhou Shihe returned to the hotel.

After changing shoes and entering the suite living room, Zhou Shihe asked Yu Shuheng, "Teacher, what time are we leaving tomorrow?"

Yu Shuheng responded: "8 o'clock in the morning."

Zhou Shihe nodded, then walked towards her room.

The door closed, the door opened, and only two people were left in the living room.

Li Heng sat on the sofa and signaled Yu Laoshi to sit down too.

Yu Shuheng came to sit opposite him, crossed her legs, and asked meaningfully: "Little brother, are you trying to persuade us to reconcile, and then hold both of us in your arms?"

Li Heng: "..."
