Chapter 674

The two best friends finished their heart-to-heart talk and strolled around campus for a while. When they returned to Lushan Village, Li Heng had already prepared dinner and was waiting.

As soon as she saw the two women return, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but shout: "You're finally back; I'm starving to death. Let's eat."

The women sat down, and Li Heng specifically ran to the door to look toward the small building opposite. After discovering the doors and windows were tightly shut, he extinguished the thought of calling Yu Laoshi to eat.

During the meal, he specifically observed Song Yu and Mai Sui's words and actions for a while. Seeing the two women interacting frequently and affectionately, the last bit of his hanging heart finally settled.

Sun Manning asked Song Yu: "There aren't many days left until the final exams; when are you leaving?"

Song Yu and Chen Xiaoyu looked at each other and said: "Tomorrow morning."

Sun Manning rolled up her sleeves to pick up food for Song Yu, smiling happily: "I'll accompany Big Wealthy Li to see you off tomorrow morning. Remember to welcome me when I go to Dongtinghu during the summer vacation."

Song Yu said with a smile: "Okay."

Afterward, Song Yu asked Mai Sui: "Do you want to come along?"

Mai Sui was somewhat tempted, but later declined: "My parents are going out to do business during the summer vacation, and my grandfather just passed away, so I plan to stay at home to accompany my grandmother more."

Hearing this, Song Yu nodded and didn't force it.

In fact, both Song Yu and Mai Sui knew clearly: the reason for the refusal just now was half true and half an excuse.

After all, Li Heng was going to Dongtinghu for Song Yu's sake. If Mai Sui followed, it would inevitably tie Li Heng's hands and feet, and inevitably hinder the progress of Song Yu and Li Heng's relationship.

After all, if they were together, Li Heng and Song Yu would have to consider Mai Sui's feelings in whatever they did, wouldn't they?

At the same time, Mai Sui was also afraid that if she went to Dongtinghu, she would invisibly expose her relationship with Li Heng, which would make the Song family elders unhappy with Li Heng and thus cause trouble.

Li Heng also understood, but he didn't say anything, just happily picking up food for Song Yu and Mai Sui respectively.

During the meal, Chen Xiaoyu's gaze remained on Mai Sui, and a voice in her mind kept stimulating her: My god! How many women does this bad guy Li Heng have? Why is each one prettier than the last? Why is each one more unexpected than the last? After finally digesting Zhou Shihe and Yu Shuheng, how did another charming woman like this pop up? Can Li Heng really handle it? I'm afraid Mai Sui alone could eat him alive in bed, right?

After eating, Chen Xiaoyu seized the chance to secretly ask Song Yu: "What's the deal with this Mai Sui? I think she's as charming as Su Daji; even I, a woman, feel my heart swaying. With her around, even if you marry Li Heng in the future, will he still come to your bed?"

Song Yu smiled beautifully and didn't answer this question, instead saying: "You should come to Dongtinghu to play during the summer vacation too; we can go back to Beijing together then."

Chen Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose: "I'll definitely go play; you don't need to invite me. I'd go myself for something so fun. However, are you really that kind? You aren't thinking of pulling me over to keep that idiot Sun Manning in check, are you, so you can free up space for you and Li Heng to show off your affection?"

Song Yu smiled without a word.

After the meal, Mai Sui took the keys and quietly went to the small building at No. 27 next door. As it turned out, it was cold and cheerless inside; there wasn't a single piece of clothing on the front or back balconies. It seemed Shihe hadn't returned to live there for a while.

Pushing open the piano room door, Mai Sui thought worriedly: Shihe's daily routine is usually very rhythmic and self-disciplined; she practices piano every day. But now she's been gone for over ten days, and the piano has been covered with a cloth. It looks like this heartbreak is quite severe.

That night, Song Yu and Mai Sui slept in the same bed, the two sisters lying down and talking.

Li Heng wandered enviously at the bedroom door for a long time, finally unable to resist pushing the door and entering.

Hearing the movement, Song Yu and Mai Sui on the bed stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at him in unison, the two sisters silently saying nothing.

Li Heng closed the bedroom door and sat on the edge of the bed, biting the bullet: "I can't sleep."

Mai Sui looked at him for a while and said with a delicate smile: "I'll go sleep with Manning."

Saying this, Mai Sui was about to climb up.

But Song Yu didn't let her, stopping her and saying to Li Heng: "You should rest early too; we still need to send us to the airport tomorrow morning."

Well, this was clearly an order to leave.

He didn't seem very welcome.

After looking at each other for a moment, Li Heng extinguished the restless urges in his heart and, under the gaze of the two women, got up without a word and left the secondary bedroom.

Once he left, Mai Sui remarked: "He's used to doing as he pleases, but he's obedient to you; it's truly rare."

Song Yu said calmly: "At least I haven't slapped him."

Mai Sui was amused, having a hunch in her heart: Li Heng, who is born to be a woman's nemesis, definitely has Song Yu and Shihe as his own nemesis.

After a while, Song Yu asked: "Does Xiao Han come here often?"

Mai Sui answered: "Xiao Han usually comes twice a month. However, he regularly goes to Shanghai Medical University to find her every month."

Hearing this, a phrase automatically surfaced in Song Yu's mind: stable relationship.

Song Yu asked again: "How does he behave toward Yu Shuheng?"

Mai Sui phrased it: "He treats her with the utmost respect."

Song Yu asked: "What about Zhou Shihe?"

This time, Mai Sui recalled for a long time before speaking: "In the past, I just felt they were very tacit when they were together; they didn't talk much, but one look seemed to be enough to understand each other. At that time, I didn't want to think too much, nor did I dare to think too much, attributing it all to them being soulmates in music.

But thinking about it now, things might..."

As she finished, Mai Sui suddenly stopped abruptly.

After waiting for a short while without waiting for the rest, Song Yu didn't rush to ask, continuing to wait patiently.

Mai Sui fell into deep thought, and at one point, she continued: "Things might be far more complicated than they appear. I even suspect that some things happened before they went on the Spring Festival Gala."

Song Yu asked: "What is the basis for your judgment?"

Mai Sui said: "Before the Spring Festival Gala, Shihe and Yu Laoshi once had a dispute due to some disagreements on arrangement, but that was limited to the scope of work; they recovered as soon as they walked out of the piano room.

But after the Spring Festival Gala, everything changed.

I was still wondering at the time, what exactly happened during that winter vacation? What would make Yu Laoshi, who has excellent self-cultivation, and Shihe completely fall out?"

Song Yu heard this and said: "There must be something that happened, one hundred percent. If I'm not mistaken, Yu Laoshi sensed a threat, which is why she started to confront Zhou Shihe openly and secretly."

Mai Sui sighed secretly. In her eyes, Yu Laoshi and Shihe were both very easy to get along with, but they were at odds with each other, even standing on opposite sides for the sake of a man, which was sigh-inducing.

Song Yu asked: "Are there any other girls here who are intimate with him?"

Mai Sui shook her head: "I don't know."

Song Yu turned her head: "Why do you say you don't know? Aren't you with him every day?"

Mai Sui said unconfidently: "I was kept in the dark about Huang Zhaoyi the whole time."

Song Yu smiled: "Even you were kept in the dark; that just proves one thing."

Mai Sui asked: "What thing?"

Song Yu analyzed: "The number of times Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi had contact in the past should have been few; otherwise, it would have been impossible to be so clean and leave no traces every time.

Perhaps, for him, Huang Zhaoyi is more of a physical need, and there hasn't been a true spiritual resonance yet."

Mai Sui thought to herself: The only ones who can resonate with him spiritually are probably Song Yu and Shihe.

Out of consideration for Song Yu, she only speculated in her heart and naturally wouldn't say it out loud.

That night, the two sisters who met after more than half a year talked all night.

It was also this night that the relationship between the two women became truly intimate; their friendship was better than in the past, and they trusted each other even more.

"The sky is about to brighten." Suddenly, Mai Sui, who had been paying attention to the changes in the window, said as much.

Song Yu looked at the window, then reached for the watch on the nightstand to check the time.

4:43.

She said: "I should get up."

Mai Sui sat up as well: "I'll go to the airport to see you off."

Song Yu said with concern: "You haven't closed your eyes all night; you'd better catch some sleep."

Mai Sui didn't listen to the advice, insisting on seeing them off.

Seeing that her mind was made up, Song Yu didn't say anything more on this topic, but before leaving the bedroom, she instructed: "Keep the things I entrusted to you in mind. There cannot be a second Huang Zhaoyi."

Mai Sui looked at her: "Okay."

In fact, Song Yu was more willing to believe in Xiao Han's ability to cling. But unfortunately, Xiao Han was in another place and couldn't manage him every moment.

So, she could only pin her hopes on Mai Sui letting go of her concerns and keeping this philanderer in check through their intimate life.

In fact, Song Yu thought of Yu Shuheng, but she knew better than anyone: before having a relationship with Li Heng, Yu Laoshi would at most gently remind him and couldn't truly restrain him.

As for Zhou Shihe, Song Yu was relatively wary: it would be one thing if Zhou Shihe didn't interfere in his emotional life. Once she started interfering, it would mean Zhou Shihe was about to succeed, and he would have nowhere to escape.

When that time truly came, it wouldn't just be a question of whether Li Heng was a philanderer, but a question of Li Heng marrying Zhou Shihe.

When the two women walked out of the bedroom, Li Heng had just come out of the master bedroom next door.

The three looked at each other for a moment, and Mai Sui went to the washroom first.

Li Heng glanced at the washroom, then walked over to Song Yu and hugged her, his eyes full of reluctance.

Song Yu had a smile in her eyes: "I knew you would be like this."

Due to the inappropriate occasion, Li Heng hugged her for a short while before letting go: "You two were talking all night?"

Song Yu gave a light "Mm."
