Song Xingyu said softly, "I understand. We're not going anywhere. We're just going to have a meal and then take a walk by the river."

She looked at Song Xingjin and said, "Brother, it's all your fault. If it weren't for your phone call, He Jin might have confessed to me."

Hearing this, Song Xingjin snorted, "So what if he confessed his feelings? You've been pursuing him for so long, you have to let him experience the feeling of being rejected."

Only after experiencing it can you know the pain of loss, just like him now.

Song Xingyu pondered over her brother's words. It was rare for her brother to say something so sensible.

She nodded in agreement, then picked up her bag and went upstairs happily.

When she came out of the shower, Song Xingyu received a message from He Jin: [I'm home.]

Song Xingyu replied with an "Oh".

After much thought, she decided that she had to follow the "cold and aloof" approach that He Chi suggested.

He Jin stood at the door of his parents' house and couldn't help frowning when he saw the word "Oh".

Is she still angry?

He's mother just heard footsteps outside the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was her son, so she opened the door.

Very surprised, he asked, "Xiaojin, why are you back so late?"

He Jin suppressed his emotions and raised the packed food in his hand, "I'll bring you some midnight snacks."

He's mother: "......"

Is her son possibly possessed by an evil spirit?

She shouted towards the study, "He Rongsheng, your son has brought you some midnight snacks, come out quickly."

He's father came out of the study without taking off his reading glasses.

Seeing He Jin setting up the table with greasy food, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Mother He lowered her voice and said, "I don't know either. Don't worry. If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Let's observe first."

He Jin also knew that the old couple only ate until they were 60% full for dinner and only ate light food.

The couple was polite enough to sit down and eat something.

He's mother tested him, "Xiao Jin, are you in love?"

He Jin was drinking water and almost choked. Seeing his reaction, the couple smiled at each other.

There is hope.

They were not in a hurry for He Jin to answer.

After a long while, He Jin finally spoke, "Dad, Mom, if I find a girl whose family is much better off than ours, do you have any objections?"

He's father asked, "How much better?"

He Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's about the same as He Chi's family."

The gap was indeed quite large. Mother He thought for a while, then got up and went to the bedroom.

She took out all the dowry her parents had given her when she got married and all the valuables in the house.

She placed it on the table and said, "Son, all your father and I have left here."

"Although our family is not wealthy, it's not so bad that a girl would feel wronged if she married into our family."

He's father also supported her, "Before your aunt started her own business, your grandfather divided the antiques and valuable calligraphy and paintings in the family into two parts, half for me and half for your aunt."

"Your aunt has already taken her half, and my half is still with your grandfather. I will find a small truck to move it back home tomorrow."

He Jin looked at his parents with mixed feelings.

If he had known that he would meet Song Xingyu in the future, he should have earned more money.

"Dad, Mom, these are your things, I can't take them."

Mother He smiled and said, "You think too much. This is not for you, but for my future daughter-in-law. When will you bring her home for us to meet her?"

Facing his parents' eyes full of expectation, staring at him without blinking, He Jin was too embarrassed to speak.

He coughed lightly, "Dad, Mom, we...are not together yet."

He's father: "......"
