Chapter 169 The order of appearance in life is very important
"???"
Lin Yi didn't expect that not only would he eat Brother Xiao's melon one day, but he would also be a powerful man. He would fall in love with a married woman?
Of course, it seems debatable whether having a fiancé can be considered a married woman, but the relationship between the characters is a bit confusing. Lin Yi felt that he needed to sort it out.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, is the female classmate you are talking about a current student you met at Zhijiang University?"
"right."
"Are you in the same class as you?"
"right."
"That is to say, she is only a freshman, so she should not have reached the legal age for marriage, and then you told me that she has a fiancé?"
This question made Xiao Haocheng silent.
Seeing Brother Xiao's love-struck look, Lin Yi couldn't bear to ask any more questions. In fact, he still had another question: since he already had a fiancé, why did he still go out to hook up with an honest man?
Xiao Haocheng may have sorted out his thoughts before telling this story from the beginning.
"Her name is Tang Yutong, she is from the School of Economics. We met at a freshman activity when we first started school."
"I usually study in the library when I don't have classes, and Yutong...she also loves going to the library. We often meet there, so we gradually become familiar with her."
"Later on, we often made appointments to study together. Sometimes she would have classes or I would have classes, so we would help each other occupy a seat."
"As time went by, I realized that I didn't like her...that thing. You also know that I have never chased a girl, so I didn't know what to do, so I asked her out to watch movies and eat."
So far it is still a normal campus love story, but Xiao Haocheng continued: "She went, but then she told me that she already had a fiancé."
Lin Yi sighed a little. It was so difficult for Brother Xiao to even say the word "like". It was a bit unlucky to encounter such a thing in his first love.
"When did she tell you? This is important."
Xiao Haocheng seemed to know what he meant, and emphasized: "The first time she went out with me, she told me during dinner that day. She never wanted to hide it from me deliberately."
Well, for the sake of Brother Xiao, I believe that girl is not a green tea.
"I didn't date her again after that, and I just continued to study with her in the library, and that's how we continue to this day."
Lin Yi probably understood the story, and he confirmed: "So you still like her, right?"
Xiao Haocheng nodded sheepishly.
"Then does she like you?"
"I probably like it too."
Xiao Haocheng added: "Although she has never said this, she has never attended self-study with other boys."
"And she didn't actually find the fiancé herself. She said that her parents had a very good relationship with each other and she decided on her own initiative to find their fiancé. She had known the man since she was a child, but she had never liked him."
"Is this what she told you?"
"right."
Lin Yi felt that there were too many flaws and didn't know where to start.
"This year should be the 21st century, so why are there still such messy feudal dregs of parents' orders and matchmakers' words? What kind of family is this?"
Xiao Haocheng felt that these words spoke to his heart: "That said, I also find it too strange!"
However, Lin Yi actually believed some of what Brother Xiao explained next, because the girl and her so-called fiancé were both from cadre families in the capital, and they were somewhat high-ranking.
How should I put this matter? Lin Yi felt that it was difficult for him to be reborn. For Brother Xiao, the topic was really too high.
"You followed her all the way to the capital today. You probably don't want to give up, right?"
Xiao Haocheng nodded: "Yes, actually I wanted to meet her parents when I was on the high-speed train. She didn't say anything at that time, but after arriving at the station, she said that her parents would drive to pick her up and didn't let me go."
Lin Yi felt that the story could end here because the heroine's attitude was clear.
"What are you going to say when you meet her parents to get them to cancel their daughter's engagement and allow you two to be together? Do you think it's possible?"
Xiao Haocheng seemed to have made a lot of determination and gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, I have thought before that even if her parents don't agree, as long as Yutong is willing, the two of us can go abroad together after graduation."
"Her grades are not bad. If the two of us don't care too much about school rankings, we should be able to apply for graduate students with full scholarships. As for living expenses, I can go out and do odd jobs to support the two of us. Her parents will be beyond their control by then.
.”
Lin Yi sighed again in his heart, feeling embarrassed that Brother Xiao could come up with such a solution, but he still had to ask the most critical question.
"Brother Xiao, you are willing to elope with this girl for her, but does she know that she is willing to elope with you?"
"If you ask her to abandon all her parents, relatives, and friends in the country and run away with you at all costs, can she have the same determination as you?"
Xiao Haocheng did not answer.
"Your silence actually speaks volumes."
"There are some things you may not have thought of, but I have to remind you."
"According to what you just said, her parents have a certain level. I wonder if you have ever heard of a saying called Yin, the magistrate of Pojia County, the exterminator of the family?"
"This status may not be ranked high in the capital, but locally it is enough to destroy your family. You kidnapped the girl and ran away. Can you safely leave your parents in the country?"
Xiao Haocheng obviously had not considered this aspect. He was dumbfounded and said: "Isn't that true? It's the 21st century now?"
Lin Yi said indifferently: "I don't think so, but it's the 21st century. Aren't there still girls who are freshmen in college who somehow have a fiancé?"
Xiao Haocheng was silent again.
Lin Yi didn't mean to throw cold water on him, but he was really trying to persuade him to give up. No matter how much he liked it, Brother Xiao couldn't handle such a girl.
He believed that Brother Xiao could figure it out. He had been shocked when he told the serious elopement plan just now.
But Brother Xiao is not the kind of person who doesn't care.
Sure enough, Xiao Haocheng stood there for a long time, his head lowering lower and lower, and finally he just whispered something, not sure whether he was talking to Lin Yi or to himself.
"When we broke up at the station, Yutong told me that it would have been better if she had met me earlier."
These words made Lin Yi's heart move.
Xiao Haocheng slept in Lin Yi's dormitory all night. Anyway, all the roommates had left, and all the beds in the dormitory were empty.
Lin Yi did not go back to Lin'an with him the next day, but just sent him to Beijing South Station. By this time, there was already a high-speed train to Lin'an East Station.
When saying goodbye at the station, Xiao Haocheng told him: "Thank you Lin Yi, I have thought about it clearly. I will stay friends with Yutong from now on."
Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.
But after putting his old classmate on the train and looking at the shadow of the train heading south, Lin Yi suddenly thought:
The order of appearance in life is really important.
