Having learned from experience, Linlin managed to hold back her tears in front of her parents this time, no matter how reluctant she was.

As soon as she boarded the ship, and as the figures on the dock gradually disappeared from sight, Linlin leaned against the window and quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengzhou quickly changed the subject, and Shen Man took out a chess set from her bag.

then……

Linlin was easily coaxed by Yan Yuan.

Jiang Chengzhou and Shen Man crossed their arms and coldly stared at the two people sitting opposite them.

The more Yan Yuan coaxed Linlin, the more affectionate she became. If there was some reason for their separation at the beginning, now that the train was about to arrive in the capital, the two of them were just being affectionate on the train.

The key issue is that Chiang Cheng-chou can't say anything yet.

The two didn't actually have much physical contact, but their conversations and eye contact were enough to make anyone swoon.

Once they passed through the main road, they completely disregarded them.

Jiang Chengzhou never expected that Yan Yuan, who had always been more mature and composed than him, would be like this when it came to dating.

The world is going to the dogs! People's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

Upon arriving in the capital, the group first went to pay their respects to their elders for the New Year.

Yan Yuan became the center of attention this time, with everyone surrounding him and asking him all sorts of questions.

Fortunately, Yan Yuan has a strong mental fortitude, and after a few days, the elders are quite satisfied with Linlin as their boyfriend.

Su Jue was most concerned about Linlin's studies. When she learned that Yan Yuan was now a teaching assistant at the Capital University, and in the mathematics department, she softened her tone.

Su Jue was even more satisfied after discussing several number theory problems with him.

Deng Jing found it somewhat amusing to see her husband's attitude change so quickly.

She always felt that her two daughters resembled her more, while Linlin resembled her husband more in certain aspects.

Because of his exceptional intelligence, he is often proud deep down.

Either you need a long-established friendship, or you need to be outstanding enough to earn her admiration; otherwise, it's difficult for others to win her heart.

Coincidentally, Yan Yuan possessed both of these qualities.

With the start of the new school year approaching, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the capital has not yet completely dissipated.

Yan Yuan and Linlin planned to go to the flower fair, and Jiang Chengzhou naturally wanted to go along, also bringing Shen Man along.

It was at this time that Lu Zeyu met them.

A girl was standing next to Lu Zeyu.

She was the daughter of Lu Zeyu's mother, a family friend. The two had known each other since childhood, and their families had long intended to bring them together.

Lu Zeyu had never thought there was anything wrong with it before.

The other party comes from a good family, has a handsome appearance, and is somewhat arrogant, but that's not a big deal.

It wasn't until he met Linlin after starting university that he suddenly realized his parents had been too hasty in arranging his marriage.

Especially after he learned about Linlin's family background.

Grandparents live in a compound in the capital. Father is a military officer stationed there, mother is the head of a department in a military hospital, and there is also a Chief Cheng who is on good terms with Linlin's parents.

Lu Zeyu admitted that he was somewhat realistic, and after finding out these things, he became even more enthusiastic about pursuing Linlin.

It's the icing on the cake, isn't it?

Unfortunately, Linlin is too difficult to approach.

He tried every possible way to attract her attention, but nothing seemed to work.

In the distance, Linlin wore a beige wool short coat with the collar loosely turned up, revealing the edge of a cream-colored knitted sweater underneath. She paired it with dark brown corduroy straight-leg trousers and black square leather shoes, making her stand out beautifully in the crowd.

As she passed the stilt-walking group, she slightly stepped aside to let them pass. The man next to her helped her up from behind, and the two smiled at each other.

Lu Zeyu recognized the man. After they met in the cafeteria that day, he asked someone to find out about Yan Yuan's background.

His resume is quite impressive: he graduated from Capital University with excellent grades and was able to stay on as a teaching assistant after graduation, making him a promising young man.

But that's how it is.

It is said that he had no parents and was just the son of a fisherman, with no background or connections in the capital.

In Lu Zeyu's view, it was indeed not easy for him to get to this point, but that was all.

The flower fair was bustling with people. Lu Zeyu stood at a distance and saw Linlin hand a candied hawthorn to Yan Yuan. Yan Yuan lowered his head and took a bite, his lips curving into a smile. The natural intimacy between the two made Lu Zeyu's expression change.

The girl next to him followed his gaze and asked softly, "Who's that? Do you know him?"

Lu Zeyu withdrew his gaze, suppressing the malice in his eyes, "I don't know him."

Shen Man returned to school in the afternoon, while Yan Yuan stayed in the villa until dark before leaving.

After washing up, Linlin returned to her room and lay down, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

What does it feel like to be in love?

I just feel like I'm looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Linlin turned on the lamp and glanced down casually, only to find a figure standing outside.

Moonlight streamed down through the window, bathing Yan Yuan's profile in the soft, watery light. His long eyelashes drooped slightly, making him look almost unreal, and he exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Linlin suddenly felt that he looked so lonely and sad.

Without thinking twice, she ran downstairs in her pajamas, wearing only a pair of slippers.

She pushed open the door, and a blast of cold wind rushed in, making her shiver.

Yan Yuan also saw her, quickly walked over, opened his coat, and wrapped her in his arms.

The fabric of his coat still carried the dampness of a cold winter night, but his embrace was warm.

Yan Yuan looked down at her, his voice filled with reproach and concern, "It's so cold outside, why did you come down?"

Linlin tilted her head back, the moonlight falling on her face, her nose slightly red from the cold, but her eyes shone like stars. She retorted, "It's so cold outside, why aren't you home yet?"

She was just moments ago immersed in the sweetness of love, but now she seems incredibly sad.

The moment he tilted his head and sighed, the hot tears that had been welling up in Linlin's eyes fell, streaming down her cheeks and neck, and then gushing down her chin.

Yan Yuan hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears with his hands, but found that his hands were already frozen. He simply carried Linlin back in that position.

Even after closing the door, the little girl still clung to him.

Yan Yuan chuckled, "Let me take off my coat before I hug you, okay?"

"You just take your clothes off like that."

Yan Yuan looked down and could only see her red eyes and her bitten, bright red lips, looking stubborn.

He took off his coat, hung it on the hanger next to him, and then picked her up and placed her on his lap.

Her slippers fell to the ground, and her fair, rounded feet dangled beside his legs, like the bright moon.

Yan Yuan wiped away her tears and asked with amusement, "Why are you crying?"

Linlin stubbornly asked, "Why don't you go home?"

Yan Yuan lowered his head and rubbed his nose against hers, feeling a slight coolness. "I just want to stand outside for a while, I'll be leaving soon."

He couldn't bear to part with it.
