Chapter 68
Lin Minjun sent off the last table of guests, then went to clean up the guests’ table, but halfway through cleaning up, Luo Lin snatched it away without saying a word
Lin Minjun pinched the rag and refused to give it, “I don’t need your help, I really don’t”
“Aren’t we friends, helping a friend do what you can, it’s the right thing to do” Luo Lin’s attitude was also tough
Lin Minjun had to let go, she did not know what to say to Luo Lin, so she went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, halfway through the washing Luo Lin came again, took over the dirty bowl, this time he directly found a good reason for himself, “A girl’s hand can not grasp the water, it will become rough, I’ll do it”
Lin Minjun took the bowl, simply no temper, “Luo Lin, I said several times, we really ”
Not yet finished, Luo Lin lowered his head, his tone put very low, almost pleading, “Ah Jun, don’t be so cruel to me, don’t reject me so quickly”
Lin Minjun to the edge of the mouth words a moment can not say out, this is a stranger, or Lu Deping, she can not hesitate to refuse, and then let the other party die far away
But this is Luo Lin, in her heart, Luo Lin and Zhao Ning, these friends are as important, they have been in the mountains of Yunnan to support each other out of the snowy and cold weather, she did not have the strength to pick the water, are Luo Lin to help pick, in addition to pursuing and being pursued by this layer of awkward relationship, or can be life and death of dependence on a close friend
Also because they were friends, Lin Minjun was not willing to be perfunctory and hang on to him, she took a deep breath, “But I won’t accept you”
Luo Lin: “Why are you so sure? Could it be that I make you feel disgusted? Disgusting enough to even give a chance to pursue you?”
He hangs his head, the clothes on his body are worth a lot of money, the corners of his clothes just fall into the dirty water, he takes them out without saying a word and continues to help Lin Minjun wash the dishes
He asked again, “Don’t I have the slightest bit of hope?”
This question Lin Minjun didn’t know how to answer, she couldn’t give an answer To say that she hates Luo Lin, that is impossible, she just treats him as a friend, a close friend, that day when Luo Lin suddenly confessed, she still felt shocked, and then when she thought about it carefully, she is not repulsed by Luo Lin
But to say that like also can not talk about
The reason she has been rejecting Luo Lin is because she doesn’t want to get married This reason she had already said, but Luo Lin didn’t believe it and used it as an excuse
Just as Lin Minjun hesitated, Luo Lin threw another question over, “Actually, I didn’t come here today to ask you to give an answer, there’s just something I want to discuss with you”
Lin Minjun nodded
Luo Lin: “You know I’m preparing for the college entrance exams now, there are still two months before the exams start, now that the mock exam results have come out, my family is helping me to choose a school, with my scores and the major I want to enroll in, I can go to HAITU or I can stay in Beicheng, and if I have even the slightest bit of hope, I’ll stay in Beicheng”
The meaning of these words was that if there was hope with Lin Minjun, she would stay in Beicheng to study at the university, and if not, she would go far away to the northeast and go to HIT
Lin Minjun’s scalp tightened, “You choose this kind of life event yourself, which school is better, go to which one”
“Both schools are pretty much the same, so I want to know what you think, is there really no possibility between us at all?” Luo Lin followed up with a question
Lin Minjun didn’t want to make choices for other people’s lives, she wanted to reject it outright, “I don’t have an idea, I’m not getting married, I’m not getting a date ”
“Why? Ah Jun, why don’t you get married?” Luo Lin suddenly said
Lin Minjun was flabbergasted for a moment
Luo Lin didn’t get discouraged and said with a smile, “You always told me before that you’re not getting married, why?”
Lin Minjun thought for a moment, “I’m afraid, you see, I’m alone in the North City now, I don’t have a mother’s family, if I get married, I won’t be able to find anyone to help me in case I have a fight with my husband, of course, there are still a group of you friends, but you will all get married in the future, and you will have your own family, so it’s not possible for you to help me for the whole life, and in addition, I don’t think that getting married is very interesting I don’t see the point in getting married I live with my parents-in-law and I’m at the mercy of them all day long, and I can’t even get a good word out of them If I hadn’t gotten married, I would have earned my own money and spent it on myself”
She was talking about what happened to her in her last life, and this was her life after she married Lu Deping, but it was not interesting
In addition to not being able to have children, these trivialities between her in-laws and her mother’s family also annoyed her
Luo Lin smiled, “What you’re thinking is quite reasonable and right”
Lin Minjun thought that he understood her, nodded, and without blinking began to make up lies, “Well, in fact, I figured it out a long time ago, because I have a distant cousin who can’t have children, and after she got married, she was always being nagged by her in-laws, forcing her to look for child birth prescriptions everywhere, and she suffered a lot, and even if it’s not enough, when people outside knew about it, they also pointed at it, and I thought that life wasn’t interesting life is not much fun, so I don’t get married and don’t have children”
She raised her head and looked at Luo Lin with big eyes, “Now you know, so don’t say anything about hope or not in the future, I’m really afraid of getting married”
She thought Rollin would die and never mention it again
But no, Luo Lin pursued the matter and finally saw Lin Minjun’s fear, he lowered his head to wash the dishes again, “Why don’t we go ice skating together tomorrow? If you have time after ice skating you can still go to the movies”
“I told you, it’s not possible” Lin Minjun was so helpless, looking at Luo Lin in confusion, not knowing what kind of drugs he was selling, he had said this, but he still wouldn’t give up?
Luo Lin knew she was going to refuse, not disappointed at all, “It’s not a date, it’s not the two of us, it’s everyone going out together, I’m inviting everyone to come out and play with me, just as a relaxation, returning to the capital for such a long time also got together that one time, this time, it’s just to take advantage of the rest to come out and relax”
He thought for a moment and added, “Ah Jun you also come, just as the last time, if after tomorrow you still feel that you don’t want to accept me, then I won’t pester you again in the future, we are still friends”
The words had been said up to this point, Lin Minjun was relieved instead, all she wanted now was to hurry up and get through tomorrow so she could officially reject Luo Lin
She also didn’t worry about what Luo Lin would do to her, one because the youths would all be there, if she shouted, someone would come over to help, and two because she believed in Luo Lin, Luo Lin wasn’t that kind of person, he had his own pride and self-respect, if he said he wouldn’t pester, then he couldn’t possibly pester any more, he wasn’t the kind of person who had no bottom line at all
“Good” Lin Minjun agreed
Luo Lin happened to finish washing the last bowl, got up to help clean up, and got on his bike, “Then we’ll see you tomorrow? I’ll bring someone over to pick you and Zhao Ning up tomorrow, so remember to talk to Zhao Ning tonight”
Lin Minjun stood in front of the store and nodded with a smile, “See you tomorrow”
It was also a back and forth, Luo Lin had just left not long before Zhao Ning came back, Lin Minjun closed the store with her and walked to the back of the small store
There was now a single bed set up in the back, a small desk was placed beside the bed, it was filled with books, and the light bulb emitted a dim yellow light
Zhao Ning had to review as soon as she came back and was exhausted, hearing Lin Minjun say that she could go ice skating tomorrow, she instantly came to life, “Really?!”
“Really, Luo Lin said he’ll come over to pick us up tomorrow morning” Lin Minjun nodded and said
“Oh, Luo Lin invited” Zhao Ning puffed out a laugh, stretching her words and winking somewhat ambiguously, “Is he chasing you? I heard it all before”
But after laughing, Zhao Ning added heartily, “That’s nice! I think this is quite good, if you can get together with Luo Lin, I am truly happy for you guys, we all know each other, we all know what the other is like, and Luo Lin is not like De Ping, he has a lot of heart eyes, he is not that much of a heart eye, he is able to cultivate him like this, and his family is probably not bad, not like Lu De Ping’s mom and his sister Most importantly, if you can be together, Ah Jun, you will have a home”
She touched Lin Minjun’s head and said with a smile
However, Lin Minjun was not joyful, and her expression was still a bit despondent
Zhao Ning moved, “What’s wrong, why do I look like you’re not too happy?”
Lin Minjun honestly said, “But I don’t want to get married”
Not to mention this era, even decades later, a woman saying she doesn’t want to get married is a treasonous thing in the eyes of other people, and there are still some people where a woman saying she doesn’t want to get married is like breaking the laws of heaven, and they’ll jump up and down and abuse them
Zhao Ning didn’t think so much about it, but after all, she was also educated in this way and grew up, she was just a little surprised: “Not getting married, why ah? Because of Lu Deping? Not everyone is like their family”
Lin Minjun didn’t want to expose her own scars again, she asked softly in return, “Under what circumstances do you think a woman who has been hurt would change her mind and want to get married?”
Zhao Ning said without hesitation, “The object is good enough, good enough to impress her, just like Luo Lin did for you”
“Then if the object is bad in the future, does that prove that her decision to get married was wrong?” Lin Minjun asked another rhetorical question
This time it was Zhao Ning’s turn to be confused, “What does it all mean? How could Luo Lin be bad?”
Lin Minjun laughed, “You go ahead and review, I’ll figure this out on my own”
On the way home, Lin Minjun had been reflecting
Luo Lin suddenly came over to pursue her, to be honest, it would be a lie to say that her heart wasn’t moved, she had also been moved to think that it would have been good if she had agreed to do so, Luo Lin was very nice, very gentle and considerate, it was a bit of a shame to miss out just like that
But when she thought about it, Lin Minjun felt that it was not right
In her last life, she married Lu Deping because he was good enough for her, but it was a bad decision, and she wasn’t happy with Lu Deping
If she changed her mind and stepped into marriage again because of who was good enough and considerate enough for her, then the fact that the person was not good enough in the future meant that she had made another bad decision
So is there any point in being born again and coming back? It’s just repeating the same mistakes over and over again
So as soon as she came back, she thought, beat to death not to get married, beat to death not to get married
Now it was also unavoidable to hesitate, was this choice right or wrong again, would she regret it later?
Lin Minjun did not know, she returned to the courtyard with such confusion, greeted Erwa and went into her own small room
All the time she slept Lin Minjun kept thinking about this question
She didn’t want to choose to get married just because anyone was good enough for her
But choosing not to get married for the rest of her life, she didn’t know if she would regret it, and if she would feel regret when she remembered this moment later
Tossing and turning, she kept thinking about this question
