Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

In the morning, Lin Cong saw that Lu Yanqi was still asleep, so she went to work first. She prepared some breakfast and left a note for Lu Yanqi.

When Lu Yanqi woke up, his head still hurt. He stood up and took a look around, only to find that this wasn't a hotel. Then he realized that this was Lin Cong's home.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanqi's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

Walking out of the room, Lu Yanqi saw Lin Cong's note. He heated up breakfast as Lin Cong instructed.

Breakfast was simple, a bowl of millet pumpkin porridge and a fried egg.

Lu Yanqi couldn't help but take a photo and posted it on his Moments with the caption: A unique breakfast.

At noon, Lin Cong saw what Lu Yanqi posted while making tea in the tea room.

Because of distraction, the teacup fell to the ground and broke. When the teacup fell, Lin Cong tried to catch it, but the scalding tea spilled onto his hands.

The sound of breaking glass was heard and Lin Cong screamed.

Lin Cong put his cell phone on the table and hurriedly picked up the scattered glass, ignoring the red burn on his hands.

When Su Qian passed by the tea room, he saw Lin Cong. He didn't say hello. He would not take the initiative to talk to Lin Cong unless there was something important.

Hearing Lin Cong's exclamation, Su Qian turned around and returned to the tea room.

Lin Cong was cleaning up the glass on the ground. Several employees who came over after hearing the noise saw Su Qian, greeted him, and walked away pretending nothing had happened.

"What's going on?" Su Qian asked coldly.

"It's okay, Mr. Su, I'll clean it up."

Su Qian first saw Lin Cong’s red and swollen hands. He wanted to ask something, but he didn’t say it.

Then, Su Qian saw the mobile phone on the table again.

The phone's page just happened to stop at the content sent by Lu Yanqi in the circle of friends.

Lin Cong suddenly thought of the mobile phone on the table, and she knocked the phone against the table in her haste to pick it up.

"How's the contact with Pinye going?"

Lin Cong straightened his expression and said, "We agreed to meet tonight."

"it is good."

After saying that, Su Qian started to leave. He paused as he remembered something. "I hope Manager Lin won't be so casual. After all, you represent the Xia Corporation as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qian left, and there seemed to be a hint of loneliness in his back.

When Lin Cong heard Su Qian's words, his head exploded instantly.

"Don't be so casual." Su Qian ultimately thought of her as someone like the one in the company gossip.

Lin Cong knew that Su Qian had just seen what Lu Yanqi had sent. Lin Cong ran towards Su Qian's office. She had to explain everything to Su Qian.

When approaching Su Qian's office, Lin Cong met Assistant Xiao Yang.

"Manager Lin, what's the matter that's causing you so much anxiety?"

Lin Cong stopped and said, "Ah? Nothing, I wanted to deliver a document but forgot to take it."

"Is it urgent? I'll pick it up after I finish printing this."

"No, that's fine. I'll just email it."

"Okay then."

At this time, Lin Cong also calmed down. She returned to the office, covered her chest and took deep breaths.

Fortunately, I didn't go in. If I had gone in, what would I have to explain? Explain that I had nothing to do with Lu Yanqi, and explain what happened yesterday.

But why would Su Qian care about the truth of all this? Should I tell Su Qian that it was him that I liked?

Lin Cong calmed down and asked Xiaocheng to send over all the recent project information.

When you are busy, you forget some things.

After leaving the tea room, Su Qian was terribly gloomy. He told Assistant Xiao Yang not to let anyone in unless it was something special.

Assistant Xiao Yang had just walked out of Su Qian's office when she saw Lin Cong rushing over. Fortunately, she stopped Lin Cong in time, otherwise not only would Lin Cong be scolded, but she would also have to endure that terrifying look.

Su Qian put out one cigarette and then lit another.

At first, he didn't understand the content of the message sent by Lu Yanqi. It was not until he saw the table in the picture that he realized that Lu Yanqi had taken the photo at Lin Cong's home.

Su Qian thought that he had calmed down, but he didn't expect that when another man appeared next to Lin Cong, his heart would be so turbulent.

Su Qian couldn't pinpoint when he first started liking Lin Cong. It was probably because of that debate competition during college.

In their sophomore year, their two universities jointly held a debate competition.

Su Qian attended the debate competition as a student judge.

In that debate, Lin Cong's team won the championship by defeating the team from the Department of Political Science and Law. Everyone called them a dark horse.

As the fourth debater, Lin Cong performed well in every game.

The topic of the final debate was: Is survival more important or dignity more important?

Lin Cong concluded his speech by saying, "Survival is a song that is sometimes tragic and sometimes magnificent. It sustains not only life but also civilization. Dignity is beautiful, but it can only add icing on the cake; it can never provide timely help."

After Lin Cong finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

That debate had given Su Qian a new appreciation for Lin Cong. Previously, he had always thought Lin Cong possessed a refined and elegant demeanor. Now, he realized that beneath that refined demeanor, there lay a tremendous energy.

From then on, Su Qian couldn't help but observe Lin Cong. He found that Lin Cong's eyes were gentle yet resolute. Sometimes when they talked about something, Lin Cong always had unique insights.

Later, Lin Cong rarely went out with Xia Ruohan. In order to see Lin Cong, Su Qian even went to the place where Lin Cong worked and studied under the pretext of dating Xia Ruohan.

One day, Su Qian and Xia Ruohan came to the library and sat down by the window.

The library was one of the places where Lin Cong worked and studied.

That day, the sun was shining through the window. The warm light shone on Lin Cong's face, and even her hair was shining.

Unconsciously, Su Qian was lost in thought as he stared at Lin Cong.

It was not until Xia Ruohan pushed Su Qian that Su Qian realized his behavior.

It was from that time that Su Qian became clear in his heart and fell in love with Lin Cong.

In his junior year, Su Qian wanted to break up with Xia Ruohan, but his mother's death made Su Qian give up the idea completely.

At that time, he always thought of Lin Cong's final statement in the debate.

Indeed, dignity can never provide timely help.

Su Qian thought that feeling would fade away with the passage of time, but reality was always contrary to one's wishes.

After Lin Cong graduated from university, he joined the Xia Group. At first, Su Qian was happy. Even if they couldn't be together, at least they could be friends.

But later, Su Qian changed his mind and even felt a little disgusted with Lin Cong.

Lin Cong's almost fawning attitude towards customers made Su Qian feel that the Lin Cong he saw in college might just be an appearance.

Su Qian became very indifferent to Lin Cong. In his opinion, Lin Cong was what everyone called a "socialite".

Thinking of this, Su Qian clenched his fists.

At this moment, Su Qian hated himself even more. Why couldn't he help but care when he saw that content?

He couldn't help but ask himself: Do I really still like Lin Cong?

Su Qian took a deep puff of his cigarette. He tried to catch the drifting smoke, but he couldn't.

Opening the drawer, Su Qian took out a photo of himself and his mother. Looking at his mother's smiling face, Su Qian's convictions solidified. He could only move forward. These minor incidents were irrelevant. To achieve his goal, he had to move forward. There was no turning back.
