"So you really didn't touch her for three years?"

After listening to Li Xiangnan's story for a while, Qin Ruobai was shocked and keenly discovered the source of the alienation between him and Lin Chuqiao.

"Well, I haven't even held hands..."

"Puchi! You..." Qin Ruobai was amused by this. Seeing Li Xiangnan's eyes full of resentment, he quickly waved his hands, "Yes... I'm sorry, I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it!"

"..." Li Xiangnan's mouth twitched, he looked out the window and fell silent.

Blinking his big eyes and staring at the ceiling, many scenes of him and Lin Chuqiao in Lijia Village emerged in Qin Ruobai's mind.

Although she had never been to the countryside, she could imagine the details of their time together in Lijia Village from Li Xiangnan's few words.

"You're amazing that you've been able to go three years without touching her!" She turned her head and exclaimed sincerely.

Li Xiangnan turned to look at her, his expression still full of resentment.

"This isn't something to be happy about, is it? I originally thought that even a piece of stone could be warmed up by me, but unfortunately... my imagination of love was too beautiful, so after experiencing it, I realized how ridiculous my wishful thinking was!"

"Why are you so sad? Actually, what I want to say is that you are a person who respects your promises very much! You always keep your promises and do what you say. Many people can't do this! You are full of blood and can control your impulses and fully respect her. Just based on this, you are better than 90% of young people!"

Qin Ruobai, on the contrary, thought Li Xiangnan was amazing.

Li Xiangnan smiled calmly, "Later, I figured it out. The Lin family used this marriage as a bargain. Since they helped me solve the problem of Beijing's household registration and job, I have to let it go. Not disturbing each other and being well is the best ending for us!"

Qin Ruobai blinked and smiled, "But even without the Lin family, with your top score in the college entrance examination, you can still get a household registration and a job. What they did is just icing on the cake..."

"Who can predict the future? Only when people look back on the road they have come will they realize that there are other options. But at that time, accepting this proposal would be good for both the Lin family and the Li family!"

"Well, looking at it this way, the Lin family actually takes more credit from you. I think I know why Lin Chuqiao treats you so well!"

Li Xiangnan turned to look at her and asked, "Why?"

"Maybe he feels indebted!"

Seeing the other party's surprise, Qin Ruobai smiled and said, "Even just now, you treated your marriage as a secret, and you still considered the interests of the Lin family first. You kept this secret deep in your heart for so long just to prevent the reputation of the Lin family from being damaged!"

"Have you ever thought about it? In fact, when you come to Yanjing, most normal people become the son-in-law of the Lin family. Although your marriage is fake, you still have a marriage contract. You tell the whole world that Lin Chuqiao is your wife. If you don't want to divorce, the Lin family probably can't do anything about it!"

Li Xiangnan spread his hands: "I didn't do that, did I?"

"Isn't this the good side of your character? You didn't use the Lin family's weakness to threaten them. Instead, you tried your best to help them get a divorce and minimize the impact on Lin Chuqiao's reputation!"

Qin Ruobai looked at him seriously. "Knowing all these things about you, to be honest, I find it incredible! This is not something that ordinary people can do! Few people can be indifferent and clear-minded when facing a high-ranking family like the Lin family!"

"And you, not only have you taken care of the Lin family in every aspect, but you have also never stopped moving forward and have worked hard to improve yourself!"

"These days, I have heard a lot of your deeds, and many of them were told by your friends, colleagues and leaders, not by you!"

"This shows that you really are a person who doesn't care much about fame, fortune, achievements, and future!"

“You are truly amazing!”

"In my limited life, I have never met such a person!"

"Li Xiangnan, you really opened my eyes!"

Li Xiangnan smiled, looked out the window again, and said frankly: "Fame, wealth and fortune are all external things. A hundred years of life is nothing but a handful of dirt in the end. If I die in the future, their lives can be improved, their diseases can be cured, then my life will not be in vain!"

"Don't you see? These past few days, there are a lot of people who don't want you to die! Everyone wants you to live well!"

Qin Ruobai's eyes were shining brightly. The more she communicated with Li Xiangnan, the more she could understand from the lines and his words and actions that this young man was free and easy beyond his age, and she admired him very much.

"Comrade Ruobai, thank you for listening to me for so long!" Li Xiangnan pursed his lips and smiled.

"You have no one to talk to for so long, you must be very depressed, right?" Qin Ruobai looked at his back and said seriously: "If you are willing, I will be a good listener. I have studied psychology..."

"Criminal psychology, right?" Li Xiangnan turned back.

"Ah, this... is all psychology. I know everything!" Qin Ruobai laughed, a cunning look flashed across his face, "Actually, Li Xiangnan, I want to say one more thing..."

"Say it!"

"You and Lin Chuqiao are in a fake marriage, you are not actually married, it's the same as if you are not married! Don't carry this matter in your heart, and don't keep it as a secret! Only by facing it calmly can you smile at life!"

"What you should do now is to work hard and live a good life! You still have to go to college, learn more medical knowledge, and give back to society in the future. You have a lot to do!"

The Qin family's education is indeed far ahead of the times, and Qin Ruobai's openness is surprising.

Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "Yes, this matter is indeed over!"

He turned around and smiled: "After talking to you, I feel much better!"

"Let me tell you, I'm actually quite good at comforting people! After all, I didn't learn psychology for nothing..."

Qin Ruobai chuckled, but before he could finish his words, Ding Yuqiu and Zhang Shengnan knocked on the door and came in with lunch boxes.

"It's time to eat!"

Qin Ruobai and Li Xiangnan looked at each other, and both of them tacitly stopped the discussion.

……

Soon, the meal in the cafeteria was about to begin.

Xing Chunlai didn't see his old comrade Lin Jianzhou, so he went out of the cafeteria to look for him and saw him smoking under a poplar tree.

"Lao Lin, what's wrong with you? I remember you don't smoke!" He walked over and sat down next to his old friend.

"Want one?" Lin Jianzhou took out a cigarette and shook it out.

Seeing the extremely distressed look on his face, Xing Chunlai did not refuse. He took out a cigarette and started smoking it. After thinking for a while, he comforted him:

"Old Lin, don't worry too much. Xiao Li will get better soon! You have a good son-in-law. Minister Qin, Minister Shen, and the Song family all care about your son-in-law. Why are you unhappy?"

Turning his head to look at Xing Chunlai, Lin Jianzhou's face became even more depressed.

"My old friend, I am too embarrassed to say this..."

Xing Chunlai was stunned for a moment, exhaled a puff of cigarette and said: "What can't you tell me? I have been through everything..."

Lin Jianzhou sighed and shook his head, saying, "He is not my son-in-law!"

"What?" Xing Chunlai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he repeated, "What did you say?"

Looking at the surprised eyes, Lin Jianzhou smiled bitterly and said, "I asked Chu Qiao to divorce Xiang Nan! We actually agreed on this in Hongshan County. We would divorce six months after returning to Beijing! A few days ago, Xiao Qiao came to me and asked me to divorce early, and I agreed!"

"Hiss..." Xing Chunlai's cigarette burned his fingers, and it was unclear whether the hissing sound was out of pain or out of pity for him.

He took out a cigarette and started smoking. He sat with Lin Jianzhou for a long time before he said in deep thought, "Old Lin, you've lost a lot!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Lin Jianzhou patted his butt, stood up listlessly, and walked slowly towards the cafeteria.

Xing Chunlai looked up at his back and suddenly discovered that his old friend seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Today I learned about Xiao Li’s many glorious deeds and achievements, and saw that he was befriended by people from the Qin and Song families.

Such a good and wealthy son-in-law, Lin Jianzhou, was just thrown away like that.

Lao Lin must be extremely sad, right?
