At four o'clock in the afternoon, He Lin arrived at the location ten minutes early. However, just as he got nearby, Yu Xin suddenly appeared.
"Brother-in-law! You're here!"
He Lin quickly figured out the situation – there was probably no breakthrough with Yu Lian, so Si Qin turned his attention to his younger sister, Yu Xin.
Upon seeing He Lin, Si Qin was quite surprised: "What are you doing here?"
"Why can't I be here?"
He Lin's question left Si Qin speechless.
"Brother-in-law, this guy is so annoying. He keeps bothering me and even said that my sister's relationship with you is fake, hahaha~"
Yu Xin's laughter was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of passersby, even alerting the soldiers on guard. One of them came over and reminded her, "Please don't make noise at the entrance."
Seeing the familiar face before him, the soldier on guard hesitated for a moment before finishing his sentence and turning back to his post. Yu Xin knew her father's power, but he wasn't the type to bully others by abusing his authority.
"Brother-in-law, how good is my mom's cooking? Do your aunt and uncle like the food?"
Understanding Yu Xin's intention, He Lin nodded: "Very good, my parents told me to thank Auntie."
"Let's go inside, my sister is waiting for you at home."
After saying that, Yu Xin pushed him inside.
"This is my brother-in-law, no registration is needed!"
She walked inside, taking He Lin with her. The two of them, who remained completely composed from beginning to end, only stopped at the door.
"Here, take this and return it to your sister for me. I'm leaving now."
Just as he was about to turn around, Yu Xin pulled him into the house: "Brother-in-law, let's go all the way. If you go out now, he'll definitely be suspicious."
Completely disregarding He Lin's thoughts, Yu Xin brought him home with such a charming and innocent demeanor, saying thoughtfully, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, my parents aren't home. It's just me and my sister. Sis! My brother-in-law is here."
Hearing the sound, Yu Lian quickly put down what she was holding and walked out step by step. When she opened the door and saw He Lin, she was a little surprised: "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Yu Xin explained, "Sis, you have no idea, that Si Qin is like a leech, clinging to me like glue. If my brother-in-law hadn't shown up in time, I don't know how long he would have bothered me."
"Yu Xin, how many times do I need to correct you?"
Seeing her sister's displeasure, Yu Xin guiltily explained, "Oh, isn't this just a habit? It just means I'm really into character and a good actor."
Without giving her sister a glance, Yu Lian apologized to He Lin: "I'm sorry, I've troubled you these past few times."
He Lin shook his head: "You don't need to apologize to me every time. What you should be thinking about now is how to eliminate the problem completely, instead of using me as a shield every time. I have things to take care of, so I'm leaving now."
He Lin had only been inside for a few minutes. Thinking of a possibility, Yu Lian asked, "Can I see you off?"
Yu Lian wasn't one to put on a brave face, but she insisted on seeing him off despite using crutches. He Lin understood her meaning and nodded.
And so, Yu Lian, leaning on her crutches, followed He Lin out the door, enduring countless stares from the courtyard all the way to the gate.
"Just say what's on your mind."
"I want to ask you if you have any way to solve this once and for all. The way you just said it, there must be a way."
Why are you so sure?
Yu Lian didn't know either, perhaps it was her trust in intelligent people: "You're intelligent."
She spoke frankly. He Lin clearly accepted it.
"You're from the same compound. Your concern now is that your parents will run into each other at work. And I remember you military families are all about maintaining unity; it's rare for things to fall apart. If you can't break it off, find someone else to do it. Do you have any relatives you know, people you keep in touch with, but nobody in the compound knows?"
He Lin didn't need to say anything more; Yu Lian understood immediately. The goal was to ruin the other family's reputation while simultaneously demonstrating magnanimity. This way, it wouldn't significantly affect the relationship between the two families, and it would also make the other family's parents keep a close eye on their child because of Yu Lian's parents' generosity and forgiveness.
"That's enough for now. You can contact me again if you need anything next time, but it won't be free like this time."
He Lin made a rare joke, which was caught by Si Qin, who had been found.
As Yu Lian walked back, he suddenly appeared.
"Yu Lian, is it really necessary for you to risk your reputation like this just to avoid me?"
Yu Lian was surprised to see Si Qin suddenly appear on her way back, but a warning bell rang in her heart—she wondered how much the other person had heard.
"I knew there was no future for you and that man. He should take a good look at himself in the mirror and see what kind of person he is."
Yu Lian even breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words, but she quickly retorted, "Then what kind of person are you? Si Qin, have you ever had your head slammed in a door? Or is there something wrong with your brain development that you can't understand what I'm saying?"
Si Qin wasn't angry at all when he heard this: "You're all I can think about right now. Yu Lian, marry me, and I promise I'll treat you well for the rest of my life."
Sensing danger, Yu Lian gripped her crutch tightly, already thinking of an escape route.
"Even if I become a nun, I will never like you, let alone marry you. Siqin, just give up on that idea."
Seeing Yu Lian make such a harsh statement, Si Qin's anger became obvious.
"What's so great about pretty boys? While they're eating, drinking, and having fun, it's me and millions of brothers defending our country. Yu Lian, have you been hanging out with these capitalists' kids for too long and been corrupted? It's okay, I'll write a report for the higher-ups right now, and you can go and study for a while. When you come out, you'll definitely have a new perspective on me."
Completely shocked, Yu Lian didn't know whether to run away or persuade him to see a psychiatrist.
"Yu Lian..."
Realizing she was now doomed, Yu Lian wondered how long her crutch could last. But thinking of Si Qin's abilities, it seemed she couldn't even last a minute. With just a crutch, and because of her foot injury, she couldn't exert her full strength. Even in her prime, she might not be able to hold her own against Si Qin.
Realizing that Si Qin was closing in, Yu Lian's retreat was slowed by her foot injury. Soon, her arms were clamped down by the man.
"Why! Why! You don't like me! Can't you see how much I've done for you?!"
This question confirmed to Yu Lian that he had completely gone mad and was living in his own fantasy. The small corner at the street corner, due to the angle of the wall, wouldn't attract much attention.
"Siqin, if you don't let go of me now, my dad won't let you off the hook."
Si Qin hesitated when the topic came up, but quickly hardened his heart: "What if we get married? What if you have to be my bride?"
The meaning was clear—Si Qin had completely gone mad. Held firmly in her grasp, Yu Lian couldn't move at all. Her strength was like a tickle to Si Qin.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Yu Lian saw hope.
