When he was here in the autumn, every time he saw Lin Qingyan, a smile would appear on his icy face, but just now, he had been cold and indifferent.

"Oh dear, Auntie, could it be that my cousin went back to the army and has taken a fancy to another girl? He was so cold to Sister Qingyan just now, as if he had no feelings for her at all."

Hearing that he had been misunderstood, Lu Zhengting was eager to explain and hurriedly pushed open the door and went inside.

"Who's taken a fancy to another girl?"

“Cousin, cousin.” Li Qinqin walked over and asked with great interest, “When you were here in the fall, you admitted that you had fallen for Sister Qingyan. Shouldn’t you confess to her?”

"No." Lu Zhengting shook his head, saying something he didn't mean, "I don't like her."

He was afraid that others would be too quick to speak and relay the news to Lin Qingyan.

"You didn't like her? You clearly admitted it before, why are you changing your mind now?" Li Qinqin was a little angry: "Tell me, did you like someone else again, so you denied having feelings for Sister Qingyan, afraid we'd call you a heartless man?"

"No, I didn't like anyone else. It's just that at the time I thought I liked Comrade Lin, but after not seeing her for several months, I didn't miss her at all, and that's when I realized that I didn't actually like her."

"Huh?" Li Qinqin was even more unhappy, and punched Lu Zhengting twice: "Cousin, you still say you're not Chen Shimei, you are Chen Shimei. Seriously, do you know how long I've been waiting for you to confess to her, and you say you don't like her anymore?"

"Whether I like it or not is my business, and your hopes are useless." Lu Zhengting sat down with his head down, changing the subject: "Let's not talk about me. What about you? Have any matchmakers come to your door to propose marriage?"

"Of course there are, but I haven't met the right one yet."

"Where's Li Fang?" Lu Zhengting looked at Li Fang, who suddenly shook his head bitterly as if someone had stabbed him in a vital spot: "Not yet."
