After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

The landlord hasn't had time to call someone to fix it yet, so it's still hanging halfway on the door frame.

"Comrade, are you really Yuyao's husband?"

Lu Jiangting was taken aback, and nodded blankly.

The two of them looked strange.

"Then how did you two end up like this?"

"I..." He wanted to explain, but couldn't bring himself to speak; he simply didn't know how to say it.

Li Hong said, "She said you were trying to commit marriage fraud. Comrade, Yu Yao is quite beautiful, but you shouldn't have committed marriage fraud if she didn't want to. You can't force a marriage to be happy."

Zhang Qianqian nodded in agreement, "Yes, forced melons are not sweet."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiangting angrily retorted, "What do you mean by forcing a melon? What do you mean by her not wanting to? What do you know? We grew up together, and she has always liked me. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that she is going to marry me."

what?

The two looked completely bewildered.

"Then why did she say she didn't want to?"

"Can I marry her even if she doesn't want to? Military marriages require investigation. If she doesn't want to, the investigators have to report it to their superiors. Ordinary people might commit marriage fraud, but can military marriages still involve such fraud?"

Two people: "..."

It seems to make some sense.

but……

"But Yuyao really doesn't want to be with you."

"Yes, yes, I can tell. She really doesn't want to be with you. Comrade, did you two have a fight?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Comrade Yuyao looks so gentle and has such a good personality. I can't even imagine her arguing with someone."

The implication is that you must have done something outrageous, otherwise they wouldn't be so angry.

Lu Jiangting was already in the wrong, so he didn't refute it.

The two were busy going to work, and seeing that they couldn't persuade him, they gave up and decided to leave.

Lu Jiangting realized what was happening and called out to them.

"and many more."

The two stopped at the top of the stairs.

Did she say where she was going?

The two shook their heads.

"Did she say she wanted to go back to her hometown?"

"No way, she's already found a job, she probably won't be going back anytime soon."

"What? She found a job?"

"Yes."

"What job?"

“It’s just…” Li Hong was about to speak when Zhang Qianqian stopped her, “I don’t know, she didn’t say.”

Of course they know! Just look at their expressions—it's impossible they don't.

They shoved each other and ran away.

Lu Jiangting thought for a moment, then went downstairs to find the landlady.

The landlady found it strange when she saw him; the house was perfectly fine, but she had damaged the door.

Although she lost money, she was still full of complaints.

Before Lu Jiangting could speak, the aunt started talking non-stop in the local dialect.

It's half guessing and half guessing, but I still can't guess.

They were probably asking what their relationship was.

You little rascal, you said back then that you two were husband and wife.

What happened? You got beaten up, and then someone else took your wife away?

Lu Jiangting had no idea how to respond, so he simply said, "We are husband and wife, arranged by our parents. We had a fight, and now I can't find her. But her parents called to ask about her situation, and since I can't find her, I can't reply."

The aunt stared at him for a long time, her mind already conjuring up a whole ethical drama.

"Oh, so it was arranged by your parents. Oh dear, what kind of outdated custom is this? What era are we living in? Do you still need your parents to arrange your marriage? Young man, I'm not trying to be mean, but the older generation didn't have much education, they have old ideas, and they believe in the old ways, so it's understandable."

"But you, young man, you don't look like someone who hasn't been to school. How can you still believe in a marriage arranged by your parents? Two incompatible people forced together won't be happy. You should get a divorce while you're still young and find someone you both like. Don't waste their time, and don't waste your own."

The auntie was just telling the truth and offering kind advice.

But will Lu Jiangting listen to this?

He won't listen.

He was just angry.

Why is everyone advising him to get a divorce?

Why is everyone saying that Yuyao doesn't like him?

No, they don't know anything.

Yu Yao likes him, she likes him.

He also likes Yuyao; he loves her and can't live without her.

He will not divorce me, absolutely not.

But he needed his aunt's help, so he couldn't show his anger no matter how much he wanted to.

Lu Jiangting said, "You're right. That's why I wanted to find her to handle the divorce, but I don't know where she is. Auntie, do you know?"

The landlady looked pleased and said with a smile, "It's good that you've come to your senses. You look like a very spirited young man. If you don't find a suitable partner after your divorce, I'll introduce you to someone. I have a niece..."

Balala went on for a while.

Lu Jiangting frowned deeply, not daring to provoke her, so he could only listen patiently and nod and bow in agreement.

After listening to her ramble on for a while, she finally got to the point.

“I don’t know where she went, but I heard she got a job as a librarian.”

Librarian?

"Where is the librarian from?"

"I don't know, but she comes back every day. Sometimes she comes back around six o'clock, and sometimes she comes back after eight."

Lu Jiangting silently noted it down, thanked them, and then rode his bicycle to Chenshan Town.

What libraries are there in the towns around here?

There aren't many, and the boss has enough for himself; there's no need to hire anyone.

However, there are several large libraries in Chenshan Town.

Lu Jiangting started searching under the blazing sun, and found a place on his second search.

"Yu Yao."

Lin Yuyao, who was holding a book, stood there stunned as she looked at Lu Jiangting, who was covered in sweat and looked travel-worn.

She paused for a moment, put down the book, and pushed him out.

They kept pushing him into the deserted alley next door.

She was trembling all over, partly from anger and partly from fear.

"Lu Jiangting, what exactly do you want? Do you only leave me alone when I'm dead?"

Lu Jiangting's mouth was agape, and his nose felt sore.

"Yuyao..."

"Don't call me. I feel disgusted whenever I hear you call my name."

"I...I'm sorry, I was wrong about what happened the day before yesterday. I was just upset because of you. You have no idea how hurt I was when you said those things, I..."

"Alright, all you care about is your sadness. Have you ever thought about how much sad I am?"

Lu Jiangting looked apologetic. "I didn't mean to upset you."

"You don't need to explain."

Those are all excuses; she won't believe them.

"If you really didn't want to make me sad, you wouldn't have come looking for me, and you wouldn't have kept bothering me. Right now, I don't want to say anything to you except for getting a divorce."

Lin Yuyao pushed him away and said coldly, "Go away. Things have already gotten so ugly. You've caused me a lot of trouble. I have no grudge against you. You really don't need to push me to the brink. It wasn't easy for you to get to where you are today, and I don't want things to come to this point where we both have to die."

As Lu Jiangting watched her leave, he no longer had the courage to force himself on her.

But watching her heartlessly leave, my heart ached terribly.

"Yuyao, I really like you, and I really haven't fallen for anyone else." He said quietly, but only he could hear it.

She's already gone, and even if she hadn't, she wouldn't want to hear it.
