1987 My Era

Chapter 276, Experts’ Battle (Subscribe!)

Song Yu looked at him with a half-smile, "You seem to be afraid of my next question?"

Li Heng took the umbrella with one hand and tried to make his tone sound calm: "You asked this question by the Dongting Lake in August."

Song Yu asked: "Yes, I asked it before. Do you want to change your answer now?"

Li Heng replied: "It is a fact. Changing the answer any further would be like trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat, deceiving oneself and others."

Hearing this, Song Yu became quiet.

She restrained all expressions, stopped, looked into his eyes calmly, and stared straight into his eyes.

The two looked at each other. At this moment, Song Yu's aura was very strong. Her beautiful eyes were as dark as a rotating black hole, as if they could suck people in and crush them into dust.

It is said that the more you care about someone, the more oppressive you feel.

That's about it.

At this moment, Li Heng's scalp went numb. He felt like she saw through him, from the outside to the inside, from top to bottom, right down to his heart, without any escape.

One minute.

Two minutes.

They stared at each other in dead silence for three minutes. Seeing that he was as still as a mountain and would never regret until his death, Song Yu finally moved and withdrew her gaze.

The moment she retracted her gaze, her eyes lost their sharpness and became soft as water.

Song Yu looked out at the skyline and said, “The book says you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Regardless of whether it was man-made or God's will, since you have made the choice, you should never regret it, just like you just showed. "

Li Heng's heart trembled when he heard this. This was a blatant rejection of him.

The moment before, he was handing him a hot water bottle and using a handkerchief to wipe the dust off him, but the next second he did a 180-degree turn and forcibly dragged him from the volcano to the Arctic Ocean, making him experience the difference between life and death.

Faced with such facts, Li Heng did not and would not quibble.

Because he did go to Fudan University, no matter how many excuses he makes, they are all useless.

Snowflakes were still flying in the dusky sky, some were carried by the wind and some fell on the two of them. At one point, Li Heng reached out and gently brushed away the snowflakes on her ears and hair, looking at her lovingly.

Feeling his eyes and his gentle movements up close, Song Yu, who had been in a stalemate for a long time, finally softened her heart a little and broke the silence and said:

"Why don't you defend yourself? I want to see where I am inferior to others."

In fact, she had him in her heart. Otherwise, she would have made an exception for him among all the suitors in the past.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have given him the chance and followed him out.

It's just that she had never expressed this kind of love in the past because of Chen Zijin's existence.

According to her Buddhist and indifferent personality, if he had not pursued her repeatedly and tirelessly, she would not show it now.

Li Heng said from the bottom of his heart: "You are Song Yu, how can you be inferior to others? You are the most perfect woman in my heart."

Song Yu asked calmly, "Where's she?"

She refers to both Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

Li Heng instinctively wanted to avoid this kind of murderous and heart-breaking question, but he knew he couldn't avoid it because he would have to face it sooner or later.

He answered stiffly, "She's good too."

Song Yu slowly turned around and looked at his profile steadily, "Because I don't fight? Or because I'm soft and sticky?"

"Neither, I'm just too greedy." Li Heng hesitated for several times, but finally said such outrageous words.

After staring at him for about ten seconds, Song Yu suddenly smiled beautifully, "You seem to be clear-headed today."

Clear mind indeed.

By the way, how can it not be clear?

Based on my understanding of her personality, she is a typical example of leniency for confession and severity for resistance. If I argue like a scoundrel, I will be put at a disadvantage and she will look down on me.

Her only weakness is that she is reserved and proud, and rather soft-hearted.

In her previous life, Chen Zijin and Xiao Han both took advantage of this weakness to attack her fiercely, causing her to suffer mentally and thus reject her two proposals.

Li Heng looked at her lovingly and said frankly: "By the Dongting Lake, I promised you that I would never lie to you in this life. I would answer whatever you asked."

Song Yu was silent.

Her eyes were dazed as she looked up at the heavy snow, wondering what she was thinking.
It wasn't until someone's stomach growled that she came back to her senses and said quietly, "Are you hungry?"

"Well, I'm starving!"

"I'll take you to the cafeteria for dinner."

"it is good."

Li Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had grasped her lifeline, and this hurdle was temporarily passed. Although their relationship had not made much progress, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

As for Song Yu, he couldn't be as fierce as he was with Xiao Han and Zi Jin. He could only take it slow and gradual.

It was lunchtime and the cafeteria was crowded.

Ignoring the looks from her classmates, Song Yu quietly served him food, went to different windows to pick out his favorite dishes, and finally found a seat to sit down.

She didn't deliberately choose a corner seat, but took the man there confidently wherever there was relatively spacious.

Putting the roses on the corner of the table, she sat down and said, "I don't know what dishes you like to eat. Wheat Ear High School said that you often eat these, so I beat you."

Li Heng: “.”

How could the woman in front of me not know what dishes I like to eat?

The last time she ordered dishes, she listed all of them clearly, and it was obvious that she had already figured out her preferences.

He felt that there was something behind these words, a bomb.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Song Yu smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that my words might contain thorns?"

Li Heng picked up the chopsticks and answered the question irrelevantly: "Let me eat a few bites first. I'm very hungry."

Song Yu didn't seem very hungry. She kept watching him eat. When he finished most of the bowl, she asked, "Do you want another serving?"

Li Heng shook his head, "No, that's enough."

Song Yu gave him half of her meal and said, "Tell me about Mai Sui. She hasn't written to me for a month."

Li Heng was confused. This was not like Mai Sui's style. He asked, "How often did you write to me?"

Song Yu said: "Half a month."

Li Heng pretended to be jealous, "You only wrote me one letter half a month ago."

Song Yu smiled faintly: "I will write to you, Mai Sui and Manning."

Li Heng asked: "How often does Manning send a letter?"

Song Yu said: "There is no favoritism, it's half a month for both."

Li Heng was curious: "Manning is so lively, how could he wait half a month to reply to you?"

Song Yu replied, "Usually she writes to me first and I reply. In fact, she always writes me four full pages."

Li Heng asked casually: "Four pages? That's so many. What do you usually talk about?"

Song Yu looked at him across the table without saying a word.

Without waiting for a reply, Li Heng blinked, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Song Yu smiled beautifully: "Are you trying to trick me?"

The reason why she is so sharp is that there is no harm without comparison.

Many of the things that Sun Manning mentioned in the letters, and the things that the Fudan trio did together, often could not be found in Mai Sui's letters.

At the same time, Sun Manning likes to share the interactions between herself, Li Heng and Mai Sui.

However, Mai Sui seldom mentioned Li Heng in black and white. It’s not that he never mentioned him, but it was not often.

One or two letters might not be a big deal, but over time, the smart Song Yu finally realized something was wrong.

Combined with some clues revealed by her best friend during her three years of high school, Song Yu understood the reason.

In high school, Song Yu and Mai Sui's grades were similar and they were vying for first place in the school, but the former was more stable and there was no gap in IQ between the two.

Therefore, Song Yu could sense that something was wrong. When Mai Sui accidentally saw the letter that Sun Manning had just finished writing to Song Yu, she immediately became panic-stricken.

She woke up instantly. Many things have traces once they happen.

This also resulted in her being absent-minded and lacking confidence every time she wrote to Song Yu in the following month. She wrote over and over again, and then threw away each letter after finishing it.

Under the pressure of these conflicts and inner torment, Mai Sui never finished writing the letter and never sent it out.

Li Heng said nothing when his little thought was exposed. He just looked up and faced her.

After staring at each other for a long time, Song Yu said softly, "There are many similarities between the contents of our letters, both of which talk about life, study, and school, and share the differences between Shanghai and Beijing.

Oh, by the way, Manning said in the letter that you rented a house in Lushan Village to write, and Mai Sui and she often went to your house to play and help take care of your daily life. "

These words seemed ordinary, but Li Heng's hair stood on end and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

That feeling comes again!
The feeling from her previous life that she never brought herself to any dinner party with Zijin and Mai Sui came back again.

In his heart, he had already cursed Sun Manning eight hundred times, but Li Heng remained calm:

"It's pretty much the same as what Manning said. I've been reading and writing these past few months, and they really helped me a lot. They saved me a lot of time buying breakfast and so on."

Song Yu asked: "The newspapers are all waiting for the final chapter of your Cultural Journey. Have you finished writing it?"

"Oh! Look at my bad memory. In my last letter, I kept sharing things about the Spring Festival Gala with you and forgot about this. I have finished writing it. I finished it last week." Li Heng slapped his forehead and answered.

"My roommates are discussing the separate publication of "Cultural Journey". Have you reached an agreement with "Harvest" magazine?" Song Yu asked with concern.

Li Heng asked happily: "Are your roommates also interested in my book?"

"Ah."

Song Yu hummed lightly, smiling: "You are a famous writer now, and you are very famous and influential in our Peking University.

Half a month ago, Xiao Feng participated in the activities of the school's literature club. When she came back, she praised you highly and said that the literature club organized a special topic to study your "To Live" and "Cultural Journey".

Li Heng was so happy that he forgot to pick up his chopsticks and leaned forward: "I'm so famous."

Song Yu glanced around, smiled and nodded, "Maybe he's more famous than you think.

This semester, three teachers have publicly recommended your book "To Live" in class, and four teachers said they loved reading "Cultural Journey" and called it a masterpiece.

Most of my roommates became your readers due to the influence of your teacher. "

Li Heng was a little boastful. Nothing could be better than this. Even if the newspapers praised him a thousand times, it would not be as good as one time of praise from a Peking University teacher in front of Song Yu.

How can I describe this joyful feeling? The sense of accomplishment exploded! My vanity was bursting!

My body is about to fly over!

Sensing his mood swings, Song Yu praised him in a rare moment: "When I was with you, I didn't feel that you were a great writer; but when you left, I felt that the world was filled with your shadow and everyone was talking about you." Li Heng's blood boiled and he asked: "Do you like it?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes locked. Song Yu smiled beautifully, did not respond, and lowered her head to eat.

"Hey, when I was listening most excitedly, you stopped talking. It's so uncomfortable." Li Heng complained happily.

Song Yu continued eating, smiling without saying a word.

After dinner, the two walked out of the cafeteria side by side.

When we got outside, she asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Her underlying meaning was to ask him if he wanted to leave in the afternoon? To go to his parents' place?

Li Heng understood immediately, "I don't have any plans for the afternoon, I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "I have classes in the afternoon, 5th and 6th periods. Will you come with me to the classroom, or should I skip class and go to the movies with you?"

Li Heng asked excitedly: "How dare you skip class for me?"

This had never happened before in his life, and he really wanted to experience it once.

Seeing this, Song Yu said quietly: "I will send the flowers back to the dormitory, you wait for me downstairs."

"make a deal."

Li Heng happily followed her to the girls' dormitory. When he stood at the gate, many girls coming in and out glanced at him secretly.

It's far more than that. Not long after, a piece of news was spreading like wildfire in the girls' dormitory: Song Yu's boyfriend is downstairs in the dormitory. Girls, if you want to see him, go quickly, because you will miss it.

Then, wave after wave of girls passed by him. They seemed to be chatting, but their eyes were all fixed on him.

There were even a few brave ones who didn't even pretend. They blatantly ran up to him, looked him up and down, and then ran back to the dormitory hall with a smile on their faces.

Li Heng was speechless.

Hey, you are from Peking University! Peking University! Can you be more reserved?
Fortunately, Song Yu didn't keep him waiting for long. She reheated the thermal bag and came down.

Leaving the girls' dormitory, she joked, "Just now in the hallway, many girls were saying that you are good-looking."

Li Heng touched his face and said, "No, no, I just got a bargain. It's all thanks to my mom."

Song Yu smiled and asked, "Have you found a hostel?"

Li Heng said: "I've found it, the same one we found last time."

Song Yu said: "Tell me more about your performance on the Spring Festival Gala."

"it is good."

In the next few minutes, he kept talking about the ocarina and "The Original Scenery of Hometown", narrating every detail from beginning to end.

Song Yu didn't interrupt and listened very carefully.

After listening to it, she sighed: "I only thought you sang well before, but I didn't expect you to have such talent."

Li Heng said proudly: "You should be happy that I am on the Spring Festival Gala."

"I am glad indeed."

Song Yu nodded, but the next sentence choked him: "But you are too good, it's not easy for people to worry about you."

Hearing these suggestive words, Li Heng chuckled and said, "It's not my fault that you're too good. Besides, I wouldn't dare to pursue you if I wasn't good enough."

Song Yu pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence, "Did you bring your ocarina?"

Li Heng replied: "I brought it. It's in the hostel."

Can I not bring it? I said in my last letter that I would blow it to her in advance.

Song Yu said expectantly, "Let's find a place with few people and play it for me later."

"No problem, as you wish."

For Li Heng, as long as she likes something, she will set up a ladder and give it a try, even if it is to pick the moon or the stars.

In her previous life, she learned piano because she loved listening to it, so she worked hard to learn it.

After rushing to the cinema, the two chose for a long time and finally chose "The Last Emperor" to watch.

Song Yu is a quiet person with few hobbies. Piano concerts and watching movies are among her favorite ways to spend her time.

"The Last Emperor" is a biographical film starring John Lone and Joan Chen. It mainly tells the ups and downs of the life of Puyi, the last emperor of China, from becoming an emperor to finally becoming an ordinary citizen spanning 60 years.

Although he had seen this movie before, he had forgotten many of the details. Now, when he watched it again, it felt like watching something new and he was very engaged.

Song Yu was even more devoted than him. She stared at the screen intently, not even distracted for a moment, for fear of missing out on the movie.

Well, these days are not like later times. It is really not easy to go to the cinema to watch a movie. Not only the two of them, but everyone in the theater is quite focused.

During the conversation, Li Heng quietly asked, "Who is better looking, me or the male lead, Zun Long?"

Song Yu glanced at him with a faint smile, and after comparing them, "You are different types, with different temperaments, and you are both good-looking."

Li Heng sighed pretentiously, "I thought you would say I'm more handsome."

The smile in Song Yu's eyes spread to her face, and she said modestly: "You are indeed not bad, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people obsessed with you."

Li Heng said happily: "I would be even happier if you could take back the second half of your sentence."

Song Yu said: "When the water is too clear, there are no fish; when the heart is pure, there is no dirt."

The masters fought, and the questions and answers were like a peck and a drink. The two seemed to have mentioned nothing, but they said everything. Including Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

This also includes the wheat ears she mentioned earlier.

The movie was quite long, more than two hours long. By the time we walked out of the cinema, the streets and roofs outside were already covered with a thick layer of snow.

Li Heng opened his umbrella and asked, "How was the movie?"

Song Yu was quite satisfied: "It looks good."

Li Heng said: "Let's go to the hostel to get the ocarina."

Song Yu hummed and crawled under the umbrella. The two of them walked towards the hostel, crunching on the snow.

The cinema was not far from the hostel, and it only took about 20 minutes to walk there. But even so, he still couldn't adapt to the cold weather, and the cold wind blew on his face like a knife.

Song Yu was much better than him. A scarf helped block most of the attacks.

After entering the house, she said, "I'll buy you a scarf later."

How could I not agree to such a good thing?
After washing his face with hot water, he felt much better and alive again. He sat on a chair to rest for a while, then took out the ocarina from his bag and said, "Let's go find a place."

Looking at the snowflakes outside, she changed her mind and said, "Let's go inside. The wind is getting stronger outside. I guess we can't use an umbrella. It's too cold."

Li Heng opened the window, reached out and tried, and immediately accepted her opinion.

"Are you ready? I'm going to play."

"Ah."

"Be prepared and don't be too shocked."

Song Yu smiled quietly and nodded slowly.

Under the guidance of Teacher Yu, Li Heng's ocarina playing level has greatly improved in recent days.

Especially when playing the same piece of music day after day, you will find that feeling of ease as soon as your hands touch it.

It really comes easily!
When the ocarina was placed to his lips and the first few notes were played, Song Yu was conquered. She stared at him quietly, and her whole body and mind were completely immersed in his musical world.

4 minutes and 40 seconds is neither long nor short, but to Song Yu it was like a glimpse of a beautiful beauty, and it ended while she was still in amazement.

When the last note dissipated in the cold air, the room suddenly fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Song Yu still maintained the same posture, looking at him quietly from a close distance, her eyes bright and sparkling.

After a long while, until she heard cheers from the next room, she gradually came to her senses and exclaimed in an inexplicable tone: "You played really well."

Li Heng said: "I'm relieved if you think it sounds good. I'll play it for you more often in the future."

"it is good."

Song Yu reached out for the ocarina and touched it lovingly, "I like this song very much."

She asked, "When did you learn to play the ocarina?"

Li Heng replied: "It has been a while, but I have been studying professionally with a teacher recently, and only then have I reached my current level."

Song Yu raised her head and said, "Is it the English teacher's best friend, Teacher Yu?"

"You know?" Li Heng was surprised.

Song Yu said: "I remember my English teacher once said during a meal that her best friend was good at playing various musical instruments."

Li Heng told the truth: "It was indeed her. She accompanied me during the Spring Festival Gala. I played the ocarina and she played the violin."

Then he added: "There is also a classmate who plays the piano accompaniment."

Her mother Jiang Yue is a university music teacher, so Song Yu is naturally more exposed to this aspect than most people. "You guys keep practicing. Those old classmates and fellow villagers in Shao City will definitely be watching TV this year. The Original Scenery of Hometown has the potential to be a blockbuster.

I hope that after the Spring Festival, it can be heard in every street and alley. I hope everyone will be proud to know you. "

Song Yu's words gave Li Heng infinite power of faith!
Just this one sentence, no more words needed.

She didn't mention her identity as a writer or her writing. Although that was a bigger and more lasting storm, she understood him and didn't want to expose it so early.

The two of them kept chatting about this piece of music, and Song Yu looked expectant: "Besides this piece of music, have you created any other pieces?"

"Have."

Li Heng said this in a decisive tone and picked up the ocarina again.

Song Yu reached out and gently pressed the back of his hand, "Don't do that here. I haven't recovered yet, and I don't want to recover so soon."

Li Heng turned his hand over and took the opportunity to hold her hand, "Then I will come to see you during the winter vacation."

Song Yu smiled calmly, looked down at the place where her palms were connected, and said to herself in a self-deprecating tone, "I thought you would be a gentleman and let me go this time."

Li Heng said shamelessly: "You know what kind of person I am, so don't let your imagination run wild."

Song Yu remained silent and didn't respond. She thought about it and didn't pull her hand away.

After a moment of silence, she asked solemnly, "When will you leave tomorrow morning?"

Li Heng had already planned for this, "Around 7 o'clock."

"It's a bit early, so I won't come to see you off tomorrow." Song Yu said.

Li Heng pointed at the bed and said, "Aren't you going to stay here tonight?"

Hearing this, Song Yu calmed down for a few seconds, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the wind and snow outside, and said meaningfully after a while:
"Next time I see Zijin and Xiaohan, I'll discuss this with them. Ask them if they're tired of sleeping in this bed?"
