"I only slept with her for one night, but we broke up not long after. I was devastated and didn't sleep well for several days and nights."

"Later I found out why we broke up."

"What's the reason?" Lin Zheng quickly sent a message to ask.

"She thinks I'm too young..."

After my friend sent this message, he immediately sent me a gloating emoticon.

"Lao Lin, it seems that this is not possible for you!"

"It's so funny, what a pair of buddies."

"Practice more often so you don't get slaughtered in battle, throwing away your weapons and surrendering, getting the better of you. Do you understand?"

......

Chapter 85 It’s better to miss each other than to meet each other

Seeing that his classmate was talking more and more outrageous, Lin Zheng quickly stopped him and replied that he had something else to do and they would not talk anymore.

Okay, no need to ask.

But he suddenly thought, could it be that Chen Yan disliked him for not being proactive enough?

The answer is actually very close, but the two are not on the same channel.

If Chen Yan knew what Lin Zheng was thinking at the moment, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.

I want to merge with you spiritually, but you want to skip the previous steps and merge with me physically directly?

It was noon soon, and old man Yang Guohai prepared three dishes and a soup.

A bowl of noodles with meat, a plate of fried bacon, a plate of vegetables, and an egg soup.

It might be a bit shabby to use to entertain guests, but it is the best food Yang Guohai can currently provide.

The three of them had a simple meal and chatted about their daily lives.

If you ask where the two people came from.

After learning that Lin Zheng was from the neighboring Songchuan County, Yang Guohai seemed to open up and talked about how he had been there when he was young, and also about how he had been to many places when he was young.

Such as Yuzhang, Lucheng, Nancheng, Diaozhou...

He paused until he finally talked about Jiangcheng.

He smiled awkwardly, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and then turned to talk about asking Lin Zheng and Chen Yan to get along well and not quarrel over some minor conflicts.

"Young people nowadays are not as simple as we were back then. Boyfriends and girlfriends talk and talk, then have a fight and break up right away."

"So, you guys, if you have an argument or a conflict, don't get angry, okay? If you're really angry, don't say anything. Take some time to calm down."

"Really, unless you encounter something that you can't help, don't break up easily."

......

Yang Guohai kept on talking, educating Lin Zheng and Chen Yan as his juniors, or perhaps he was making up for the regrets in his heart.

All good things must come to an end. After the meal, it means it’s time for the two of them to leave.

Chen Yan took out the letter at the right time and placed it on the table.

Yang Guohai took a look and didn't pay any attention immediately.

Seeing the two men stand up, he immediately stopped them.

"Well, you came all the way here to deliver a letter to me, and I don't have much to say in return. I can only treat you to a meal."

"Well, if possible, could you bring something to her for me?"

Yang Guohai stood up and stared at them nervously.

"Yeah, no problem, sure."

Lin Zheng did not refuse, it was just a matter of convenience.

I think the old lady would be very happy to receive the return gift from her first love, right?

Seeing Lin Zheng agreed, Yang Guohai showed a childlike happy smile on his face.

He walked quickly back to the inner room with his hunched body. Soon there was a sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets. It was a long time before he came out.

He was seen walking towards the two of them, holding a sandalwood box with carved patterns and smiling.

The box is neither too big nor too small, with a length, width and height of about ten centimeters each. Its function should be to store some precious small items.

This box is quite old. If it is kept for a few decades, it may be preserved as an antique.

As he stood in front of the two of them again, the smile on Yang Guohai's face gradually became a little awkward.

He coughed twice to cover himself up and put the box on the table.

Then he went back to the inner room and found a new towel, then carefully wrapped the box. He found two wrinkled pockets to cover it, and then handed it to Lin Zheng with confidence.

"Just give this to her, and she'll understand."

"By the way, I don't have much to thank you for, so take this money."

As he spoke, he took out a crumpled wad of money from his pocket. There were hundreds, fifties, tens, and even five dollars.

It’s a thick stack, at least a few thousand yuan.

It is estimated that this money is the majority of the old man's remaining savings.

Lin Zheng refused repeatedly, but the old man insisted on giving it to him.

In the end, after a tug of war, Lin Zheng quickly got into the car with Chen Yan and forced himself to say goodbye to the old man, thus avoiding "obtaining the mission reward."

"Hey? Lin Zheng, if the old lady knew what I look like now, how upset would she be? Would she dislike me?"

Chen Yan sat in the driver's seat and spoke with some melancholy.

For some reason, the journey that Lin Zheng had described before was very slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person. She didn't feel that this kind of love was any good at all.

The old lady in Jiangcheng was dressed elegantly and gracefully, and it was obvious that her family was well off.

Yang Guohai is an ordinary old man from the countryside. To put it nicely, his speech and behavior can be described as simple, but to put it bluntly, he is unsophisticated.

The most important thing is that his family is too poor...

If the old lady had followed him, could they still maintain their love under the burden of food, clothing, housing, and the children's education and upbringing?

No.

This was the first thought in her mind.

She was born in the countryside and knew how important money was to a family and what the most common reasons for quarrels between men and women were.

It's just that I have no money.

"You know, a handsome young man suddenly turns into a slovenly old man. How bad would that be for his image?"

"I didn't even dare show the video we took just now to the old lady, for fear that she would be disappointed."

Chen Yan continued talking while complaining.

"Hmm~..."

Lin Zheng hummed softly and nodded, agreeing with Chen Yan's words.

Sure enough, love in literature has a powerful whitening agent.

Once covered with the veil of reality, it immediately becomes gray and difficult to look directly at.

Sixty years ago, the two were poor and had been childhood sweethearts.

Sixty years later, the living standards of the two are so different that they are no longer comparable.

"It's okay. We're just witnesses, just tools to deliver the token. We can't interfere with their affairs. Just treat it as a story."

As Lin Zheng spoke, he turned on the car music, and a song called Qinghua popped up from the random playback.

"March passes by, catkins scatter, and lovers hurry."

"My love is unmoved by the wind."

......

"Holding the blue and white porcelain token tightly, keeping the promise, parting is always spent in frustration..."

The climax comes very quickly and is inexplicably appropriate.

Chen Yan opened the car window and let the breeze blow her hair. She leaned one hand on the window sill, narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, looked out the window with a somewhat distracted look, and unconsciously hummed along with the climax part.

When the song ended, her eyes became even more confused.

So, what is love?

In other words, do she and Lin Zheng have a love that is unique to them?

“It is better not to meet than to miss someone, and it is better to miss someone than to miss him.”

Lin Zheng finally gave such a definition of the person involved in this incident, which made Chen Yan come back to her senses and laugh.

"I understand this. This is the contrast between online dating, beautifying videos, beautifying photos, wearing makeup in person, and taking off makeup before going to bed, right?"

Chen Yan laughed softly and teased.

She mentioned Yang Erya as being like this.

Every time I catch a rich guy, when we meet in person, he always looks down on me as a flat chest.

And she herself is just average looking.

The ability to catch a rich man is entirely due to the beauty.

The two chatted along the way, and the atmosphere quickly returned to its previous harmony, smoothing out the faint but lingering sadness in Chen Yan's heart.

Chapter 86 Beware of Being Cheated

After returning home, the two rested for a night, and the next morning Lin Hai drove them to Xiangcheng South Station.

"Xiao Lin, you're already grown up. When you're working outside, you should be humble and eager to learn. You should get in touch with more people in society and make more friends. These will be beneficial to your future development."

"If you need money, tell your family. Don't keep quiet and act like a taciturn person."

"Although our family isn't very wealthy, we can still come up with a few hundred thousand. I'll give you a down payment for a house in Jiangcheng next year."

"Don't worry, your parents are still working, and you don't have to worry about the mortgage."

"..."

The whole journey was filled with parting advice from an old father to his son, and it was also a subtle display of strength, with the purpose of letting Chen Yan not underestimate his son, who currently had no car or house in Jiangcheng, and was a potential stock.

After arriving at Xiangcheng South Station, Lin Hai found a place to park the car and then took them to the entrance.

Before leaving, he asked Lin Zheng to wait, then walked alone towards the convenience store next to the square, and soon came back panting, carrying two bottles of energy drinks.

"It takes five hours to get there by high-speed train. Bring two bottles of water with you on the way, just in case you get thirsty."

He greeted Lin Zheng with a smile, then put the water into the backpack he was carrying temporarily.

"Hey, Dad, these things are sold on the high-speed train, and the price is about the same as outside."

Lin Zheng responded speechlessly.

Just when he was about to enter the station with Chen Yan, Lin Hai called him again and took him aside.

"Son, if you and your friend want to develop a relationship, try your best... well, Dad isn't against you being together."

"Anyway, if she asks you to give her a lot of money, you have to be careful, understand?"

"Be careful of being cheated."

After all, Old Lin had a keen eye and saw that Chen Yan was extraordinary.

In fact, this thing is not difficult to see.

A 19-year-old girl from an ordinary family would be afraid to speak even for a simple chat, let alone communicate fluently with the elders of other families, and would hardly dare to speak.

But Chen Yan is different. She is quite mature and knows how to speak to please others.

Lin Hai didn't know what Chen Yan did before she became an internet celebrity, but he knew that his fledgling son would never be able to beat her, so he mentioned this when they parted.
