Xiao Han halted, tilting her head to look up at the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this, Zhou Shihe immediately glanced across at Building 25, then lowered her eyelids, pulled out her own key, unlocked the gate of Building 27, and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mai Sui stood frozen, hesitating—she had intended to follow Zhou Shihe into the neighboring building, yet her heart ached with dread over her clothes left in Building 26: if Xiao Han entered, her relationship with Li Heng would be exposed beyond doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she knew Xiao Han had long suspected her; they had merely avoided confrontation, preserving a fragile veil between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, with Xiao Han’s sudden arrival, Mai Sui knew it was already too late to retrieve anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe, as if sensing her friend’s thoughts, turned back at the doorway and called out, “Suisui, come help me with something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay,” Mai Sui replied, stepping quickly into Building 27.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she entered the inner room, she instinctively asked, “Shihe, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe smiled gently. “Close the door. Let’s go up to the attic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?” Mai Sui gasped, then realized—her friend was teasing her, inviting her to watch the drama unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they climbed to the second floor, Mai Sui voiced her anxiety: “My toiletries are all in the bathroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning the bathroom in Building 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning she feared Xiao Han would discover she was cohabiting with Li Heng—and cause a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Shihe replied coolly, “That’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mai Sui looked up. “Nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe gave a quiet hum, then dropped a bombshell: “If nothing unexpected happens, he’s in Teacher Yu’s bedroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Mai Sui’s heart lurched, then fell into silence. In the past, though she had sensed the ambiguous tension between Li Heng and Teacher Yu, she had never confronted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ambiguity was one thing—there had always been an invisible red line, never crossed by either Li Heng or Teacher Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Zhou Shihe claimed Li Heng was in Teacher Yu’s bedroom—in other words, on her bed—and even Mai Sui, who never fought or competed, felt a pang of bitterness. Her heart churned with conflicting emotions, unsure what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mai Sui was dazed—not just at herself, but also out of worry for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe observed every shift in her friend’s expression, paused, then comforted her: “You reap what you sow. Even if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Keep your composure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “tall ones” she meant were Xiao Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication: if Xiao Han and Teacher Yu clashed today, it would actually benefit Suisui—there was no need to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mai Sui understood perfectly, but her nature was kind, and she clung to hope: “Maybe you’re wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe looked down at the wooden stairs, serene. “I hope so. But…”\u003C\u002Fp>",639,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5c99a53e9fa7c58e46487749af47af1aa035e7f218aa894df5a0b1cd30fbf404","1987-my-era-chapter-635","1987-my-era-chapter-633",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
