Despite Yu Shuheng and Zhou Shihe’s beauty and powerful family backgrounds, Xiao Han held a high place in his heart—otherwise he wouldn’t have agreed to plant the ginkgo trees twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she stood in the attic, Yu Shuheng returned, followed by her assistant and bodyguard, Liu Bei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liu Bei didn’t enter—the moment she saw Miss Yu was safe, she turned back along the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng pulled out her key to open the courtyard gate, then suddenly turned and looked toward the second floor of No. 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met across the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing each other, Yu Shuheng gave her a refined smile and said, “Come sit for a while?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu hesitated, then surprisingly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later, Song Yu stepped out of No. 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when she drew near did Yu Shuheng step through the courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two women entered No. 25 one after the other, changed shoes, and climbed to the second floor in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting her bag on the coffee table, Yu Shuheng asked, “Tea or coffee?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu replied calmly, “Either is fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yu Shuheng began brewing coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu remained silent throughout, sitting on the sofa watching her move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the coffee was ready; Yu Shuheng added three sugar cubes and handed it to her: “Li Heng always likes three sugars—he says that’s just right. Try it—see if it suits your taste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Song Yu said politely, took the coffee, and took a small sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng asked, “How is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu smiled, “His taste isn’t bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng smiled too, “Not just his taste—he has excellent taste in everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though vague, Song Yu understood: she meant Li Heng’s taste in women was excellent—each woman beside him more beautiful and accomplished than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Song Yu said nothing, only gazed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the information she’d gathered: the only women Li Heng had fallen for at first sight were herself and Zhou Shihe; Xiao Han had loved him secretly for years before he responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that response came after the college entrance exam, when Li Heng came to Shanghai to pursue Xiao Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zijin and Mai Sui, their feelings grew slowly over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhaoyi and Yu Shuheng here had actively drawn near to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng seemed to sense her thoughts, slowly stirring her coffee with a spoon, speaking warmly: “At first, I was entrusted by Runwen to look after him—I never expected I’d fall so deeply, be drawn to him, and fall in love with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu said, “I understand. His appearance and demeanor are nearly perfect. I heard girls kept writing him love letters since middle school. In high school, it was even more—his name was the most frequent one in our dormitory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng asked curiously, “Did he ever write you a love letter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu paused, then said, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng asked, “Did you refuse him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu gave a soft hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng asked, “Why didn’t you say yes in high school?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu replied, “You already know the answer, Teacher Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, “So before you came to Shanghai, you’d already convinced yourself—you’d already made peace with Chen Zijin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu took another sip of coffee, “Mainly to celebrate his birthday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celebrating his birthday was only part of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both knew what was unspoken; Yu Shuheng didn’t press further, instead asking, “Have you met Zhou Shihe alone? How did it feel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu was surprised—she hadn’t expected the scholarly Teacher Yu to suddenly shift to such a sharp topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Song Yu didn’t flinch; she answered honestly, “A woman who can make Li Heng fall in love with her isn’t ordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng said, “That’s a high compliment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu remained silent, acknowledging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Shuheng asked, “How long did Li Heng pursue you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yu thought back, then shook her head, “I don’t remember exactly, but it was mostly during university.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yu Shuheng didn’t press further; her gaze fell to her coffee cup: “For him to pursue you actively is a great advantage and privilege. Honestly, many envy you and Zhou Shihe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing up Zhou Shihe again carried deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As sharp as Song Yu was, she immediately sensed Yu Shuheng’s intent: Yu Shuheng had mentioned Zhou Shihe several times, deliberately or not—clearly hoping to make Song Yu take her seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also possible Yu Shuheng wanted Song Yu to focus entirely on Zhou Shihe, to clash with her, so she could reap the benefits from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Song Yu didn’t expose her; she remained calm and said, “Teacher Yu is beautiful and elegant. Li Heng has praised you many times in front of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three probes, Song Yu maintained her composure; Yu Shuheng secretly admired her, yet quietly raised the danger level of this rival in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-19T15:27:37.732Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8591f002976cabd721c7d33f6a17949a02bef7c466aa626195061025671275d4","1987-my-era-chapter-671","1987-my-era-chapter-669",713,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1987-my-era-cover.jpg"]
