Chapter 1632 The Sect Leader (Part 2)
Like other children of this age, Zhou Huimin has a rebellious streak to some extent.

However, Zhou Huimin's family was not well-off, and there was no man in the family to support them, which made her quite sensible from a young age.

Although I have some rebellious tendencies now, it's limited to increased self-awareness and a slight aversion to what my parents and teachers say. It hasn't reached the point where I want to completely break free from my family's constraints and seek independence and excitement.

The main reason Zhou Huimin came to Longhu Mountain today, besides the fact that the playground had been taken over, was the little things between teenage boys and girls.

Because she came from a single-parent family and was born after her father's death, Zhou Huimin was often ridiculed and bullied by her classmates at school.

This also made Zhou Huimin somewhat withdrawn and unsociable. Especially after everyone else had grown up and become more and more beautiful, she was unknowingly targeted by many female classmates.

This made Zhou Huimin afraid to accept advances, advances, and confessions from the opposite sex, unlike other teenagers.

During basketball class today, a boy from another class confessed his feelings to Zhou Huimin, surrounded by his classmates, while some girls nearby made sarcastic remarks.

This prompted Zhou Huimin to instinctively avoid the area. After leaving the school, he had nowhere to go, and eventually ended up on Longhu Mountain.

Perhaps it's because Han Li is tall and handsome, and his strong and muscular physique gives people a very reliable and reassuring feeling. Perhaps it's because women like Han Li's type, who is both good-looking and strong, with a powerful aura.

Of course, it's also possible that Han Li's talent and wealth at Tong L Music Store left a deep impression on Zhou Huimin last time, and when the two talked about this, Zhou Huimin asked without any hesitation.

"Han Sheng, some of my classmates started dating two or three years ago. Do you think love is really that good? If it's not good, why would they date? If it's good, why did they break up?"

Han Li didn't know how to answer this question either; there are a thousand and one interpretations of love among a thousand people.

Moreover, if this topic were discussed ten or twenty years ago, when everyone, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong, was struggling to survive and to have enough to eat and eat well, then this topic would be relevant.

For 95% of people, love is an unattainable luxury, and many have never even heard of it in their lives.

This is because living conditions are now better and more stable, and technology is more advanced, allowing people to see a wider and more diverse world through screens.

This is what brought words like freedom, love, hobbies, and ideals into the public eye.

To allow today's young people to experience the incredible luxury and aspirations of their grandparents' generation.

However, once the relationship between a man and a woman is labeled as love, the traditional marital status quo will gradually disappear, and many things will develop in directions that no one can imagine.

At the very least, men will invest significantly more in relationships, and women's status will gradually be elevated.

After thinking for a moment, Han Li decided to give Zhou Huimin, who was going through a rebellious phase of adolescence, an ambiguous answer. As for what she would think, that was her own business.

"This is a difficult question to answer. Some people say that love is like a beautiful legend that we have all heard of, but have never seen."

Especially the pure love depicted in books and on screen, much like the stories in science fiction films—it's precisely because people have never seen it before that they enjoy watching it. If pure love were everywhere around us, who would still be looking for love in books or on screen?
However, if we analyze love carefully, we will find that love is actually a combination of passion, intimacy, and commitment between men and women.

However, passion will inevitably fade one day, and intimate relationships will change over time. At that point, the only proof of love is the commitment between the two parties.

Therefore, I believe that the most important thing in love is the promise between each other, and the premise of the promise is whether the character of both parties is reliable.

If you meet someone with good character, then congratulations, you've found love. But if they don't...

Han Li stopped there and picked up his teacup to slowly savor the tea.

As for Zhou Huimin, she is still young. She was already confused by Han Li's words. Even if she can digest them for a while, let alone fully understand them, it would be good enough.

Han Li ignored Zhou Huimin, who was in a daze beside him. He finished his tea, refilled his water bottle, picked up the book he had just put down, and started reading it again.

Because teenagers in their rebellious phase are often unwilling to listen to advice, some things are best left unsaid; saying too much or interfering too much may have the opposite effect.

However, this is also related to the fact that the person in front of him is not Han Li's own child. He felt that if it were his own child, it would be relatively easy to get rid of the rebellious adolescent factors in them.

A while passed before Zhou Huimin came to her senses, but she still hadn't figured out the intricacies of the situation, so she didn't bring up the topic again.

During their casual conversation, Han Li learned that Zhou Huimin's mother had her when she was in her forties and was now in her fifties.

Zhou Huimin's mother is a gynecologist. Although her salary is not low in Hong Kong, she has been working part-time to support her piano studies and rarely has time to spend with her.

During their casual conversation, Han Li told her that he was an associate professor at Hong Kong University and that he was proficient in many musical instruments and foreign languages. He said that if she had any questions in these areas, she could come and find him. Of course, she could also come over with other questions. In short, he would help her as much as he could.

If Han Li's multifaceted talent at Tong L Piano Shop left a deep impression on Zhou Huimin, that was a prerequisite for her daring to take the initiative to greet him today.

So, during their conversation, Han Liliang's handsome appearance, tall and strong physique, kind tone, and approachable attitude were what made her dare to open up to him during their first meeting.

Now, when Zhou Huimin learns that Han Li is a professor at Hong Kong University and says he can help her learn musical instruments and foreign languages ​​for free, and that she can also ask him for help with other things.

This gave Zhou Huimin, who grew up in a single-parent family, a sense of security and peace of mind that she had never experienced before.

Although Zhou Huimin was deeply moved and wanted to stay a little longer in this comforting environment, she had to rush back to school for her next class, and in the end, she could only leave with a reluctant expression.

Because Zhou Huimin is still young, even according to Hong Kong regulations, it wouldn't be allowed. So, everything Han Li did today was just a preliminary step, and he didn't take it too seriously.

What Han Li didn't know at the time was that the person who had been loitering near his house by Houhai Lake a while ago had already arrived in Hong Kong.
