1987 My Era

Chapter 703, Heart-Shaped Earrings
Back in bed, Li Heng immediately reached out and hugged Mai Sui, sniffing her hair as he said, "It's so good to have you openly and honestly."

This is simple language.

But it was the most touching love confession Mai Sui had ever heard. She smiled sweetly, snuggled into his arms, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Before falling asleep, she closed her eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

"Ah."

Li Heng hummed in agreement, then lowered his head to silently watch over her, protecting her until her breathing became even and long, and she slowly closed her eyes, falling asleep contentedly.

Because the two of them had stayed up all night and went to sleep at dawn, they slept very soundly.

Sure enough, when Mai Sui opened her eyes again, it was already past 9 a.m.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the pride of heaven in the eyes of her relatives and friends. She never thought that one day she would go to such lengths for a man.

She never expected that Li Heng would go to such lengths for her.

Thinking of this, Mai Sui turned her head to look at the person beside her, gazing at them intently with eyes full of deep love.

Meeting this man felt like a rebirth; the world seemed to change color and become a better place because of him.

She likes it so much.

It's a bit of a pity that I can't have him completely.

However, when she thought about her situation, when she thought about how she had surpassed him, when she thought about her best friend Song Yu, and when she thought about those women who loved him but could not have him, she completely let go of her resentment.

Being able to share a bed with him today is already the greatest blessing God has bestowed upon me.

Moreover, given how much he dotes on her, what more could she ask for?

The greatest happiness in life is being with him; contentment brings happiness.

She stared at him blankly for a while, and finally Mai Sui carefully got out of his arms, got up silently, put on her shoes, and then began to wash up and dress up.

After tidying her hair, Mai Sui looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she was very beautiful. After pondering for a while, she finally opened the middle drawer and took out a jewelry box.

Open it up, and inside is a pair of heart-shaped earrings.

Having promised him, and being a new bride, this was a sacred moment worth remembering forever. After hesitating, Mai Sui became resolute and decisively took out her left earring and put it on.

Next, take out the right earring and put it on.

After doing all this, Mai Sui stood up, turned left and right in front of the mirror, and was very satisfied with the earrings that fit her perfectly.

The man on the bed was still asleep. She stood by the bedside for a short while, then tiptoed out of the bedroom.

It was already high in the sky, and she was going to buy breakfast so that her beloved would have breakfast ready when he woke up.

I had only gone downstairs and left the hospital when I sensed something was wrong.

I feel like someone is watching me.

Mai Sui instinctively looked up, her gaze meeting that of the three women on the small building at number 27.

At this moment, Zhou Shihe, Sun Manning, and Ye Ning were on the attic, looking down at her intently.

Mai Sui was a little confused and inexplicably felt a little guilty.

They looked at each other across the distance, and Sun Manning couldn't hold back any longer. She waved to her and shouted, "Maisui, where are you going?"

Mai Sui said, "Buy breakfast."

Upon hearing this, Sun Manning gave a meaningful "Oh," then took Zhou Shihe's hand with her left hand and Ye Ning's hand with her right, and the three women turned around and walked downstairs together.

Before long, the three women arrived in front of the wheat ears.

Upon seeing her, Ye Ning exclaimed, "Wow! Sui Sui, you look so radiant after just one night! Your skin is glowing, I'm so envious. Did Grandpa Li buy you some new imported skincare products? Are you secretly using them without us knowing?"

Sun Manning stared intently at her friend for a while, then chimed in, "Tell me the truth! Did you steal some magic pills last night? Why are you so different?"

Actually, Sun Manning wasn't as confused as Ye Ning; she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. After all, Mai Sui rarely slept in, let alone got up this late.

Everything about this seems abnormal.

As a newlywed, having enjoyed a night of passion, how could her complexion not be good? Mai Sui blushed a little at the words, and gently smiled as she retorted, "I didn't use any new cosmetics, I just drank more warm water and got plenty of sleep."

Zhou Shihe, standing next to her, kept her gaze fixed on Sui Sui's earlobe, on the bright and shiny heart-shaped earring, and remained silent.

She was very familiar with these earrings; she had even offered advice to Sui Sui to compete with Xiao Han, including the idea of ​​wearing heart-shaped earrings.

To Zhou Shihe's surprise, the situation changed so quickly. Combined with Sui Sui's complexion this morning and the fact that she got up so late, many things were already obvious.

Having found her answer, Zhou Shihe calmly withdrew her gaze, and lightly walked past Mai Sui, Manning, and Ye Ning, taking the lead into the alley.

The three girls hadn't had breakfast yet and were waiting for the wheat.

But this wait lasted for several hours.

Sure enough, Sun Manning and Ye Ning wouldn't let it go, constantly criticizing and complaining about Mai Sui.

Of course, the ultimate goal of complaining is just one thing: hehe, to get Sui Sui to pay the bill.

Unable to refuse, Mai Sui had no choice but to say helplessly, "Take whatever you want to eat later, I'll pay."

Ye Ning grabbed her shoulders and shook her head: "Really?"

Mai Sui hummed in agreement.

Ye Ning pouted: "Rich lady, then take us to the Blue Sky Restaurant for dinner."

Mai Sui remained silent, but still smiled and agreed.

Having achieved their goal, Ye Ning and Sun Manning clapped their hands in delight and shouted, "Yay!"

Ye Ning flattered, "Sui Sui is the best, I love you."

Sun Manning chimed in, "Flat-chested, you're what you eat. I'll get you some milk later, drink more, hahaha!"

Ye Ning was furious: "Damn it! Who are you calling a fool?"

Sensing the danger, Sun Manning sprinted towards the alley entrance, her mouth still taunting, "No chest, no back, she's just a man, hahaha..."

Two crazy people were causing trouble as usual, and then they chased each other away.

Watching the two women disappear like the wind, Mai Sui caught up with Zhou Shihe ahead, took her arm, and walked side by side for a while before breaking the silence, "Shihe, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Zhou Shihe smiled gently and shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, Mai Sui breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, "We're sisters for life."

Zhou Shihe took about ten steps and said calmly, "Okay."

The four women went to the Blue Sky Restaurant and had a big meal.

Well, the main problem is that Sun Manning and Ye Ning are troublesome. They only pick the expensive items, claiming it's to help the wealthy Li show off his glory.

By the time the girls headed home, it was already past 10 o'clock.

Somewhat coincidentally, just as they reached the second floor of building number 26, Li Heng emerged from the second bedroom.

Seeing him yawning and looking sleepy, Ye Ning blurted out without thinking, "Hey! Uncle Li, did you overindulge last night? Still not awake?"

Upon hearing this, Mai Sui was the first to be affected. She became somewhat uneasy and secretly puffed out her cute cheeks to calm down.

Zhou Shihe glanced at him, but didn't stop walking; she went straight to the sofa.

Sun Manning pinched Ye Ning's waist hard and cursed, "Are you trying to die! You eat and drink other people's food, and then you criticize them. Do you want to get beaten up? If other people didn't work hard and stay up all night writing to earn money, would you be able to eat so well this morning? You smug woman! You ingrate! If I were a man, I would stab you to death with a stick."

Li Heng: "..."

Wheat Ear: "....."

Zhou Shihe: "..."

Whenever these two bizarrely argue, they can spout out the most outlandish and bizarre things; they're incredibly audacious.

Fortunately, the group was used to it and didn't find it strange.

After washing up, Li Heng came to the sofa. But as soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at the small building at No. 25 across the street.

At this moment, the doors and windows of the small building across the street, number 25, were already open, and you could see Teacher Yu reading a book on the sofa in the living room.

Li Heng felt ashamed, then picked up his breakfast and left.

"Hey, where are you going, big tycoon?" Ye Ning asked.

Li Heng didn't mince words: "I brought breakfast to Teacher Yu."

Upon hearing this, Sun Manning and Ye Ning turned to Zhou Shihe and Mai Sui, wanting to see if the two girls were jealous.

Zhou Shihe remained calm and composed, opening the newspaper she had just bought on the way and beginning to browse. Mai Sui also appeared very calm, having been mentally prepared for Li Heng's visit to Teacher Yu, and knowing that he would be going to Anta Shoes with Teacher Yu later.

Neither of the parties involved showed any strong jealousy, leaving the two spectators disappointed.

Sun Manning also stood up and said to Ye Ning, "Come on, come with me to the library. I don't believe that a mere science fiction novel can stump me. I'm going to find out what this thing is all about today."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ning remained seated without moving. "You go ahead, my legs are sore, I need to rest."

Sun Manning wasn't so easily fooled. She grabbed her and said, "Bullshit, your legs are sore! You just want to see Li Heng alone, right? Your cousin Ye Zhanyan hasn't left yet, right? You want to set them up for a meeting?"

"Let me tell you, you're betraying your own people! How can you face Mai Sui and Shi He? No way! Get the hell out of my sight!"

Having her little scheme exposed, Ye Ning didn't even dare to look at Shi He and Sui Sui, and quickly bent down to run away, saying, "Go away! I'll go with you, you're such a chatterbox."

Once the two noisy guys left, the living room instantly returned to tranquility.

At one moment, Zhou Shihe looked up and met Mai Sui's gaze. The two women looked at each other, seemingly saying nothing, yet it was as if everything was said.

Regarding what Sun Manning had just said, and regarding Ye Zhanyan, the two women reached a tacit understanding: naturally, they would not allow Ye Zhanyan to meet Li Heng smoothly.

After all, Ye Zhanyan's beauty is undeniable, and she works for a world-renowned company like Morgan Stanley, so her abilities and skills should not be underestimated.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Therefore, the two women united against external threats.

However, some things are better left unsaid and cannot be said aloud by them due to their reserved nature.

After all, Zhou Shihe is determined to be the final victor, but her progress is far behind that of the others, so it's not the time for her to interfere.

As for Mai Sui, she has a clear self-positioning, and everything revolves around Li Heng. Li Heng is her root, her pillar.

Mai Sui seemed to have guessed what her best friend was thinking, so she said, "Want to go to the study together?"

What are you going to do in the study?
Of course, I'd go read Li Heng's new book, a science fiction novel.

And you know what? It wasn't just Zhou Shihe who was curious about science fiction novels she had never read before; Mai Sui was also full of curiosity.

Zhou Shihe seemed hesitant.

Mai Sui whispered in her ear, "We're not outsiders. This is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again."

The words "He's not an outsider" made Zhou Shihe's heart skip a beat. Then, her best friend pulled her up and led her to the study.

Upon entering the study, Zhou Shihe closed the door behind her, looked around, and finally focused her gaze on the desk.

However, the desk had already been tidied up, with only a few books remaining; it was practically empty.

Mai Sui bent down and came to the desk, opened the left drawer, and immediately saw the science fiction novel that Li Heng had written last night: The Book of Doomsday.

The end of the world? Wheat ears were surprised.

Seeing her best friend staring blankly, Zhou Shihe took two steps closer and also stared at the four words "Book of Doomsday" in a daze.

Coming to their senses, the two women exchanged a glance, both realizing the other's intense longing.

Wheat Ear asked with a smile, "Take a look?"

Zhou Shihe blinked: "Okay."

They agreed to be bad guys together, then took out the manuscript and laid it flat on the desk, and began to read it carefully without any distractions.

Twenty minutes later, the two women finished reading, and they were both a little confused.

They looked at each other again and fell silent.

After a long silence, Mai Sui broke the silence, "How did he come up with this theme? I didn't quite understand it. Shi He, what about you?"

Zhou Shihe flipped the manuscript back to the first page. "Maybe it's because we're used to reading traditional literature, and this is our first time encountering science fiction, so our thinking hasn't quite caught up with it yet."

Mai asked, "Are you planning to read it again?"

Zhou Shihe tacitly agreed. If she wanted to be the ultimate winner in this relationship, she needed to have a thorough understanding of everything about this man. Therefore, she didn't want to fall behind.

Mai Sui understood that Shi He wanted to maintain common topics and a spiritual connection with Li Heng, so she read it again with her best friend.

The second time was much slower than the first, taking a full half hour to stop.

After reading it, Mai Sui said, "I think I understand some of it. It wasn't as difficult as I thought."

Zhou Shihe smiled slightly, "The main problem is that there aren't enough drafts. It will be easier once we have more. Actually, these settings are very interesting and novel."

“Hmm.” Mai Sui also became very interested. “I’ll read it with you in the future, and we can discuss it afterwards.”

Zhou Shihe agreed.

.....
Building No. 25.

Li Heng took out his key and opened the courtyard gate and the house door. He carried breakfast up to the second floor and said, "Teacher, have breakfast."

Yu Shuheng raised her head and looked at him meaningfully.

Their eyes met, and Li Heng, with skin thicker than a city wall, plopped down opposite her and said, "I overslept and forgot I locked the door from the inside."

Her deep eyes stared at him silently for a long time before Yu Shuheng put down her book and began to eat breakfast without saying a word.

Halfway through the meal, she couldn't help but say earnestly, "Moderation is fine, but don't get carried away and forget about home all night long."

Her words were completely unfounded.

But Li Heng understood; Teacher Yu was reminding him not to get too caught up in his sexual encounters with Mai Sui.

Actually, Yu Shuheng didn't want to say much. But the young man in front of her hadn't slept all night and had indulged in too much pleasure, and Mai Sui was too alluring, which could easily harm his body.

If her health deteriorates at a young age, and she loses her health before she even marries him, it will be too late for her to take care of him in the future.

Moreover, her future mother-in-law had twice instructed her to restrain Li Heng's private life.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yu Shuheng still spoke up.

Li Heng realized what was happening and asked, "Didn't the teacher sleep last night?"

Yu Shuheng said, "I went to sleep early this morning and just woke up."

Li Heng was speechless, not knowing what to say. In the end, he picked up a piece of mille-feuille and put it to her mouth.

Yu Shuheng glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then opened her red lips and ate the mille-feuille pastry that was on her lips.

After breakfast, the two cleaned up the leftovers and planned to go to Anta Shoes.

They went down the stairs one after the other.

Just as they reached the corner of the stairs, Li Heng suddenly darted forward and hugged the woman from behind.

Suddenly embraced tightly, Yu Shuheng remained silent for a while before smiling warmly and saying softly, "My little man, I forgive you."

Li Heng said with great backbone, "That's not it. I don't need anyone's forgiveness for sleeping with my own woman."

Yu Shuheng turned her head and asked leisurely, "Oh, what is it?"

Li Heng didn't answer, but leaned forward to kiss her.

But Yu Shuheng didn't give way and dodged in time.

She tossed her hair aside with her right hand, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Heaven knows what you shouldn't have touched with your lips last night? You're not allowed to kiss me for the next two weeks."

Li Heng rolled his eyes, leaned in and kissed her left cheek, then let go of her.

Yu Shuheng took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the spot he had just kissed right in front of him.

Her eyes were filled with utter disdain, and her amused expression was enough to devour you.

Li Heng was speechless: "Don't do it on purpose."

Yu Shuheng smiled and wiped her left cheek twice.

Li Heng couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her straight out.

Yu Shuheng glanced at the back of his head, but didn't resist. She followed him out the door with a smile in her eyes.

As they left Lushan Village, Li Heng said, "Teacher, I'll drive."

Yu Shuheng looked him up and down and asked jokingly, "You still have the energy to drive?"

Upon hearing this, Li Heng whispered in his ear, "If you doubt me again, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Yu Shuheng smiled, took out the car keys from her bag and handed them to him, then went to the passenger seat.
