What should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after considering six or seven possible approaches, none seemed perfect; he couldn’t think of a single solution that would satisfy both in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, sometimes what you fear is exactly what comes to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old saying goes: those who drown are always the ones who can swim. Just as he strained to find a better solution, just as he prepared to improvise, just as he neared the sofa—he fell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Face-first into a dog’s dinner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had fallen in the very living room he knew best, his foot snagged on the sofa, and before he could react, he crashed to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! He hadn’t fallen like this in years—now, as an adult, he had to suffer this humiliation; he felt cursed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it all! Is this an omen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is heaven warning him? Warning him he’ll be beaten? Warning him to turn and run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An involuntary “Ow!” escaped his lips—his chin ached fiercely—but he paid no mind to it; instead, he pushed himself up with both hands and instinctively lifted his head to look at the two women on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu still wore a faint smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes held a depth of meaning; the woman who had loved him most in his past life now sat utterly unmoved, staring directly at Li Heng with no trace of emotion, no tenderness, no hint of concern—so close, yet not the slightest intention to come and help him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So heartless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly heartless. Unnaturally so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu, how could you have become like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained nothing from Song Yu, Li Heng instinctively turned to Zhou Shihe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished he hadn’t looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe remained expressionless, seated calmly on the sofa, her dark, luminous eyes revealing only one word: cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young lady showed no intention of helping him either, leaving him to fend for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng shuddered, suddenly realizing: Could the two women think he faked it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they think he staged the fall to win sympathy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth, I swear! If I were faking, I’d have done it on the stairs—I’d have broken a leg at least!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To fake a fall on flat ground? Would I really sink so low?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the living room’s atmosphere was starkly divided: two queens, each radiating full aura, sat on opposite sofas, while a man lay prostrate on the floor between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lifted his head, innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women stared at him in unison, their gazes like deathly stares—as if watching a performance, as if watching a circus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the room fell utterly silent, so quiet a pin could be heard dropping; no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief stare, Li Heng gritted his teeth and rose, then sat down naturally beside Song Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement instantly shattered the stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sitting down instantly triggered the two women’s nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu smiled—not just on her lips, but in her eyes too, her expression softening like orchid fragrance; she was deeply satisfied with Li Heng’s attitude and choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shihe’s gaze remained fixed on him, but her eyes had never been colder; in an instant, her look grew impossibly complex—disappointment, hurt, bitterness, betrayal, abandonment, neglect, mixed with disbelief and a crushing sense of defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been proud for twenty years, her life flowing smoothly—yet today, she received a brutal blow, and on the most important day of her life: betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not betrayal by just anyone, but by the man who had stirred her heart, the man she believed she had found love with, the man she thought would be her future husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his words, “I fell for Miss Zhou at first sight,” were laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sweet nothings he had whispered to her were bitterly ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she had become the clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she felt stripped bare, exposed as the object of Song Yu’s cold mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the man she loved chose Song Yu—she became a homeless stray dog. How tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she and Song Yu had settled the outcome: Song Yu won. She lost. Utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had believed her personal qualities were superior, her family background stronger; she had believed their soulful connection through music, and his love for her, gave her at least a fighting chance against Song Yu—but reality was cruel beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, her self-confidence suffered its most devastating blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Li Heng sat beside Song Yu, Zhou Shihe trembled slightly, her breath nearly stopped, her fingers digging desperately into her pant legs, her face ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng had appeared to have many paths before him—but in reality, there was only one. He had no choice: he could only choose Song Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu was his past-life greatest love, his white moonlight across two lifetimes, the woman he had wronged most in his former life; she had traveled thousands of miles from Jingcheng just to celebrate his birthday—if he chose Zhou Shihe now, what would Song Yu think?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Song Yu’s nature, she wouldn’t think at all—she would simply turn and leave him, forever, vanishing from his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he chose to come to Hushi to pursue Xiao Han during the college entrance exam, he had already delivered a fatal blow to Song Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he dared now, before her very eyes, choose another woman, did he truly think kindness could be endlessly abused? Did he truly believe Song Yu had no temper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu, Xiao Han, and Chen Zijin were his anchors in this life. If he lost any one of them, he could never forgive himself—and his rebirth would have no meaning at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a8038953928ae96f5c0b5e1821badd506fca72f5f23efec61a9879c1b7aeb31","1987-my-era-chapter-656","1987-my-era-chapter-654",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
