Hurrying along, the Mercedes finally returned to Fudan University in the drizzle.

Finding an umbrella in the car, Li Heng stepped on the bluestone slabs and walked into the alley, his mind still pondering the matter of Song Yu.

The closer he got to the end of the alley, the more he felt that today's events were strange, thinking to himself: Could this be a game of chess Song Yu set up for herself?

"Li Heng, Li Heng!"

Just after turning a small corner, he was awakened from his thoughts, looked up, and found it was Wei Xiaozhu and Bai Wanying calling him.

The two women were currently at the gate of the small building at No. 27, and seeing him appear, they greeted him.

It was obvious they had been waiting here for a long time.

"I knew you would return from the airport at this mealtime." The first sentence upon meeting, Bai Wanying said with such certainty.

It seemed like an ordinary sentence, but inside it revealed a flavor that only those in the know understood.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "You knew I went to the airport?"

"Of course, to pick up Song Yu, right." Bai Wanying's tone carried teasing.

Li Heng suddenly raised his head, looked toward the small building at No. 26, and reacted, asking, "Has Song Yu already arrived?"

Since Bai Wanying knew about Song Yu, there was only one possibility: Song Yu had already arrived.

Wei Xiaozhu interjected, "At your place."

Li Heng's heart suddenly became hot, and he asked one more question: "When did she arrive?"

Wei Xiaozhu said, "I didn't look at the specific time, but it should have been at least an hour or more."

Bai Wanying nodded along.

Hearing this, his heart had already flown to Song Yu, and he hurriedly bypassed the two women and was about to leave.

He didn't expect Bai Wanying's one sentence to pin him back in place.

Only hearing Bai Wanying say, "Shihe is currently receiving Song Yu for you."

Li Heng was stunned, stopped his steps, and turned to look at the two women.

The two women also stared at him without blinking.

After a while, Li Heng sighed and asked, "Comrade Wanying, when did you guess it?"

These words were aimless, but the two women knew the meaning.

He was asking Bai Wanying: When did you guess about yourself and Zhou Gu Niang?

Bai Wanying smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I suffer from a disability; I am more patient than the average person, and I observe the people and things around me more carefully, hmm, and I am also more sensitive."

Seeing he didn't speak, Bai Wanying comforted him, "Your affair with Shihe, besides me and Xiaozhu, should not have been discovered by anyone else."

Li Heng didn't deny it and sighed, "Comrade Bai, if you cure your body in the future, you will definitely be a strong woman of a generation."

Bai Wanying said, "Thank you for the compliment. How do you plan to deal with the current situation?"

Li Heng raised his head again to look at his home and asked, "Has Shihe not come down yet?"

The two women shook their heads, "No."

Li Heng asked, "Are there any other people in my room?"

Wei Xiaozhu said, "Just Shihe and Song Yu."

This was the place the two women were most worried about. If it were in the past, given Shihe's personality, she wouldn't have been so stubborn for so long.

And now, Shihe hadn't even managed her mother, aunt, aunt-in-law, and uncle-in-law at home, and was receiving Song Yu in the small building at No. 26. It was obvious that there was something unusual here.

It was also obvious that Zhou Shihe should have clashed with Song Yu.

This was also the reason why Bai Wanying and Wei Xiaozhu were specifically waiting for his return.

The things the two women thought of, Li Heng also thought of.

Thinking that Song Yu and Zhou Shihe had been alone at home for more than an hour, Li Heng's liver and gallbladder were trembling, and then he frowned deeply.

By logic, it shouldn't be; with Song Yu's Buddhist nature, it was absolutely impossible for her to clash with Zhou Gu Niang the moment they met, right?

Unless...

Unless something stimulated Song Yu's nerves?

To the point that Song Yu put down her past restraint and pride and started arguing with Zhou Gu Niang?

He couldn't think of any other possibility; the two women meeting for the first time staying under the same roof for more than an hour, they couldn't be chatting happily, right? It was highly probable they had clashed!

Damn it, which link went wrong in this?

Actually, he guessed it right; it was a hit!

According to Song Yu's nature, it was indeed difficult for her to have a dispute with a stranger the moment they met.

But people have two sides, and most of the time they show one side; but if their reverse scale is provoked, the unknown other side will suddenly emerge.

Today's Song Yu was such a special case.

Originally, before she set off from Beijing, she had deeply weighed various pros and cons, and had expectations, backup plans, and alternatives for various situations.

But man proposes, God disposes; her various expectations and alternatives became empty words in the face of the enemy's powerful strength, having no place to be used.

At Jing'an Temple, when she looked down at "Wishing to get one person's heart alone," she fell into deep silence.

From these 6 characters, she read the ambition and dominance of Zhou Shihe, the rival she had never met.

Getting one person's heart alone!

What a big tone, how arrogant! And also very confident!

Even with conditions as good as Song Yu's, she had never thought of monopolizing Li Heng alone.

Because she knew this wasn't very realistic; not to mention Li Heng's other confidantes, she had always felt guilty toward Zijin, and she couldn't do the thing of driving away her best friend Mai Sui.

As for Xiao Han...

When she learned that Li Heng came to Shanghai to pursue Xiao Han, she implicitly understood a truth: Xiao Han had her own strengths and wasn't so easy to drive away.

If Li Heng hadn't run to his hometown at Dongtinghu time and time again, if Li Heng hadn't often brushed his presence in front of the Song family, if Li Heng hadn't publicly expressed his love for her at Peking University, leaving her with no way out and forcing her to the edge of a cliff, Song Yu wouldn't have rashly interfered in his chaotic feelings.

At least, for a long time, before graduation, she wouldn't have asked about his private feelings.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.

Especially since her grandparents, aunt, and aunt-in-law took turns bombing her ears, brainwashing her, saying how good Li Heng was? Saying how talented Li Heng was? Saying how well Li Heng matched her... Hearing these relatives nagging, Song Yu knew that she was ultimately unable to exist independently in this world as an individual.

She was ultimately flesh and blood, had to accept reality, and had to consider some things.

Does she love Li Heng?

Love!

Not only deep love, she also fell in love with Li Heng at first sight.

It was just that in the past, hindered by the existence of Chen Zijin, she had always blocked this love.

But before coming to Shanghai, unexpectedly, Chen Zijin had sought her out alone. In the courtyard of Xila Hutong, the two women talked for a whole night.

It was this night, after getting Zijin's understanding, that Song Yu finally put down some scruples, preparing to use affection to tie down Li Heng, who was about to break free.

That's right, in the eyes of Song Yu and Chen Zijin, Li Heng's peach blossom luck had been flourishing these years, and he was about to become a wild horse that had broken free, making them feel worried.

But even so, Song Yu hadn't thought about monopolizing Li Heng.

And now, a woman suddenly popped out halfway, revealing the wolf-like ambition to monopolize Li Heng. If Zhou Shihe really succeeded, what should she do?

How should the Song family face the elders in their hometown at Dongtinghu?

Her grandparents loved face the most; should they tell the people in their hometown that their most beloved granddaughter was played with and abandoned by Li Heng?

That night, how should she fulfill her promise to Zijin?

Actually, Xiao Han was also fierce, very cunning, and worth guarding against. But in Song Yu's eyes, Xiao Han didn't have the conditions to monopolize Li Heng alone.

But Zhou Shihe was different. At Jing'an Temple, when she faced the 6 characters on the red ribbon, a thick sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart.

And at the moment the two women looked at each other in Lushan Village, not only was Zhou Shihe secretly amazed by Song Yu's beauty, but Song Yu was also amazed by the beauty and temperament of this rival. At that moment, the sense of crisis in her heart suddenly erupted.

At that moment, she knew: Zhou Shihe was a woman Li Heng couldn't resist, the type of woman who could best attract and touch the softness in Li Heng's heart.

At that moment, she understood a cruel reality: the infinitely charming Zhou Shihe was like a deep pool of mud; once Li Heng was stained, it would be difficult for him to break free.

In the past, the reason Song Yu was detached in feelings, besides her Buddhist nature, wasn't it because those rivals weren't strong enough? They didn't bring her a sense of urgency and didn't force out her sense of crisis.

And meeting Zhou Shihe for the first time, Song Yu felt an unprecedentedly intense pressure from this rival.

She knew a truth at that time: if she was suppressed by Zhou Shihe the first time they met, she would never be able to raise her head again, and it would be impossible to turn the tables from Zhou Shihe.

Therefore, Song Yu, who had always been friendly to others, broke the precedent and didn't stop her best friend Chen Xiaomi from handing over the knife in time, nor did she stop Manning's unbridled speech; instead, following the knife handed over by her two best friends, she gripped the handle, hesitated, and then plunged it into Zhou Shihe's "heart" without looking back.

They say that when experts fight, the outcome is decided in an instant; at this moment, Song Yu dared not and could not be soft-hearted.

Because a woman's intuition told Song Yu: as long as she was soft-hearted this time, she would never have a chance to get ahead; with Zhou Shihe's personal and family conditions, she would be stepped on by Zhou Shihe for the rest of her life and would never have a chance to turn the tables.

This wasn't her imagination, nor was it shooting without a target.

Imagine, if she fell, and Zhou Shihe stayed with Li Heng every day, and was also a soul partner in music, as time passed, there was really a possibility of monopolizing Li Heng alone.

And at the moment she met Zhou Shihe, Song Yu was completely relieved, completely understanding why Xiao Han had to do everything possible to get her to Shanghai.

It was really because this opponent was too strong, and Xiao Han might not be able to handle it.

Therefore, even knowing she was being used as a gun by Xiao Han, she had to take this step; she had to give Zhou Shihe a blow to the head and shatter Zhou Shihe's fantasy of monopolizing Li Heng.
