The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 54

A faint melancholy lingered in Lin Mi's heart.

Even if the little friends teased her to speak, she didn't make a sound.

Yu Fen approached her and asked gently: "Lin Mi, does your cousin have a marriage contract with you?"

engagement? !Lin Mi seemed to hear a thunder in his ears.

Although she has lived in a beautiful coastal city in the south as long as she can remember, where she spent a happy childhood with her cousin, and only moved north with her father to settle down a few years ago, she has never had any affection for Lin Yitang. any ideas.

Lin Yitang was three years older than her.After graduating from middle school, he went to the army to train, and this year he successfully passed the provincial government-sponsored foreign student quota, and the whole family is proud of it.

This summer, when she heard her father talk about this happy event, she was a little excited all night: how she longed for the opportunity to go abroad and see the wonderful world outside!
Lin Yitang went north this time, it seems that he lived at home first, and then went overseas to study by boat.This trip, ranging from three to five years, as many as ten years.

If her cousin hadn't clashed with Zhang Xiaofa that night in the garden, she planned to prepare a gift for him and see him off in person.

Now, she suddenly understood: If her parents made a marriage contract with her cousin's house without telling her, wouldn't they arrange a grand ceremony before departure according to the customs of her hometown in the south...

Her soft shoulders began to tremble slightly: In the past days, every time she attended a wedding banquet with her parents, she would pay special attention to the bride.

Most of them are Chinese-style weddings. The whole courtyard is decorated in a lively manner. The sound of firecrackers is accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums and cheers. Then you will see the bride wearing a red hijab getting off the gorgeous sedan chair to meet the long-awaited bride. The groom completes the most important ceremony of his life...

In recent years, Western-style weddings have also become popular in the more enlightened circles of the upper class.Although her parents thought she was a minority, Lin Mi had a good impression of the wedding dress as white as snow.She had studied in an American school before, and she had heard all kinds of interesting stories told by Mr. Yang, and she also had a little understanding of Western customs.She hoped that when she got married, she would wear a white gauze and receive blessings from priests and little angels in the church.

When the wedding that she had dreamed of many times was getting closer and closer to her this autumn, she felt a kind of involuntary desolation strongly.

Regardless of family background or talent, Lin Yitang stands out among her peers and is also an ideal son-in-law in her father's eyes.Although she didn't fall in love with her cousin before meeting Zhang Xiaofa, she doesn't reject the clichéd marriage of long-term love. After all, many people live their lives with their left hand and right hand, and their hearts are calm.

However, since that night when she took the doorman's key and slipped into the busiest dance hall, her fate quietly changed.

Originally, she just wanted to take the opportunity of meeting someone to escape and get rid of the entanglement of a bunch of greasy men on the dance floor. She didn't expect that the moment she saw this young man, she would be firmly attracted by his deep eyes like a magnet.

He has a special temperament, his hair will blow mischievously when the wind blows, his eyes are clear, his thin lips like to be lightly pursed, and when he smiles, he can see his white and neat teeth.

It seemed to come from a distant time and space, different from the boys she knew.

He has always kept a teacher-student distance from her, but she discovered the deep emotions in his heart in some details.

Every time he prepares lessons or corrects homework in the office, she will quietly stand outside the window, holding a book and pretending to be reading, avoiding the eyes of others.

When he was in class, she didn't raise her hand to answer the questions. It was a kind of quiet satisfaction to watch him write on the blackboard, roll call, and organize classmates' activities.

On the night of the ball, he never had the chance to dance with her. In order to avoid her cousin, she got herself drunk and missed the chance to say goodbye to him...

She hadn't known him for long, and although she fell in love with him, she knew very little about him.

It turned out that she thought that he had no home and was walking alone in the world, and besides love, there was more sympathy in her heart.

If he is really alone, that's all right, she doesn't dislike the poor and love the rich.

Until that time when she met his brother in the department store, from the clothes to the way he talked and behaved, to the willingness to pay the bill with a lot of money, she saw that they were by no means the children of ordinary people.

She and her father invited him to be a guest at home, but she didn't know where his home was.

He may have a marriage contract, but he just wants to follow the trend and enjoy the so-called "free love" before marriage.

Since his elder brother had already started bringing presents to the door, sooner or later he would listen to the arrangement of his family to go on a blind date.

She was afraid that he would suddenly withdraw from her life, and she was also afraid that her resistance would not be able to escape the calculations of the adult world and the impermanence of fate.

Yu Fen saw Lin Mi bowed his head in silence, with a melancholy expression on his face, and realized that he had said something inappropriate.Others also noticed her strangeness, but they couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"Everyone divide the candy first, let's go back to reading. Lin Mi and I have to review our homework."

The girls each took a piece of candy, thanked them and opened the door to go out.They were the only ones left in the house.

"Mi, don't cry, don't take anything unhappy, let's study together tonight."

Yu Fen fetched a towel from the wall to let her wipe away her tears, and put some class notes that had been sorted out on her desk.

"Fenfen, thank you."

"Thank you, we are in the same house, and you are very kind to me."

Yu Fen suddenly remembered something, and her voice lowered: "Mi, will you study here until you graduate from high school?"

Lin Mi wiped his tears with a towel: "This depends on the family's plan."

She used to think about finishing high school before going to college.Right now, Lin Yitang is going abroad soon. If there is a marriage contract, it is very likely that her parents will choose an auspicious day to force her to engage her, and then there will be a wedding ceremony. After she gets married, she will have to go abroad with him to study with him...

When she thought that her cousin would come tonight, she couldn't calm down to review her homework.I took the book and opened the notes, but I was thinking about other issues in my mind.

"Mi, what's the matter with you today? Look at the book in your hand!"

After hearing her roommate's reminder, she realized that the textbook was taken backwards. No wonder people saw that she was absent-minded.

The pen in Yu Fen's hand swished on the notebook, and in a blink of an eye, a page full of notes had been written.Lin Mi looked enviously at his roommate working hard under the lamp, it's better when he has nothing else to do.

The sun outside the window was gradually setting, and she looked up at the clock on the wall again: 06:30.

Yu Fen came to ask her if she wanted to go to the cafeteria for dinner together.

In fact, she was already hungry.When you are depressed, your stomach empties faster than usual.

The cousin came to the school to "show courteousness", and she was so angry that she lost her appetite.

　Lin Mi can no longer go to school and play with her friends carefree like in the past.She has a lot of worries about the future, although someone loves her, it makes her feel like a burden
