Zhou Yuwen’s class was about to go on stage to perform, and the students crowded forward, leaving only You Changjin, a few classmates who hadn’t been picked, and Zhou Yuwen remaining in their seats.
It was somewhat lonely.
You Changjin, obviously wanting to impress his girlfriend, started chatting with Zhou Yuwen, saying, "You always dodge work, even though you clearly have talent but choose not to show it."
"Let me tell you, with that attitude, you’ll never find a girlfriend in university."
Zhou Yuwen just smiled and said nothing. Jiang Xinyi felt her boyfriend was talking a bit too much. Jiang Xinyi and You Changjin had met in university. Although You Changjin wasn’t handsome and was slightly overweight, he was indeed a good person.
Throughout the four years of university, Jiang Xinyi didn’t even realize that You Changjin liked her.
She remembers that every time she went to the library to study, she’d run into him, and he would considerately bring her hot water or prepare breakfast for her.
Actually, Jiang Xinyi was the type of girl who was quite dense when it came to romance; she had never felt butterflies.
It wasn’t until their graduation day that You Changjin unexpectedly confessed his feelings to Jiang Xinyi.
Jiang Xinyi was surprised, as she hadn’t considered this possibility before.
But that year, when she graduated at the age of 22, some parents considered that to be quite old, and after all, isn’t a woman supposed to aspire to marriage after university?
So her family started arranging matches for her. There were plenty of successful young men, elites from society, and quite a few self-employed entrepreneurs, but Jiang Xinyi was resistant to arranged meetings.
At this time, You Changjin was still lingering by Jiang Xinyi’s side.
Looking at You Changjin, who wasn’t very handsome but seemed quite dependable, Jiang Xinyi said, "Let’s give it a try then."
Before this, You Changjin only knew that Jiang Xinyi was beautiful and disciplined, but he knew nothing about her family background.
It was only after they got together that You Changjin began to understand something about Jiang Xinyi’s family. Discover hidden tales at novelhall.Côm
Jiang Xinyi’s mother was a very cultivated woman. Although her face was full of wrinkles as she aged, her demeanor was still present.
Yet those words felt very cold, leaving You Changjin unsure how to respond, despite having thought through many possibilities before arriving, he had never imagined facing such a scenario.
He could only bow his head in silence.
"I won’t interfere with what happened between you two before this meeting; essentially, it was just to have a look at you and to urge you to seriously consider your future with Xinyi.
I have another meeting soon, so I’ll be leaving first," she said.
As she said this, she glanced at her wristwatch and stood up to leave.
A woman nearly fifty, yet still in high heels, wearing what looked like very expensive clothes.
The young man standing next to Jiang’s mother seemed like a driver, muscular and appearing to have military experience.
The meeting was brief.
Jiang’s mother didn’t say much.
However, in You Changjin’s eyes, his self-esteem had been trampled upon.
Though Jiang Xinyi later dismissively said upon hearing about the meeting, "Just ignore her."
"My mom just likes to pressure you mentally; just ignore her," she said.
Though such words were said, for a young man from a small town, it was still impossible to bridge the gap between them.
In front of Jiang Xinyi, You Changjin felt inferior.
To be together, You Changjin could only be nicer than before and strive even harder.
For example, this year, he passed the exam to become a school counselor.
For an ordinary man, this was already like getting through a narrow pass alone.
