However, they dared not approach Jiang Yimei, because Jiang Yimei would surely put a hat on their heads.

The three of them each picked strawberries in a separate field, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

As they were picking, Yao Yao ran over and met up with Lin Congzhi.

"Hey! Yi Yi looks quite good in this hat."

Lin Congzhi wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right! It took me a whole morning to choose it."

Yao Yao asked curiously, "How did you know we were here to pick strawberries today?"

She really didn't tip him off; she was also surprised to see Lin Congzhi here.

Lin Congzhi replied very tactfully, "What do you think?"

Yao Yao immediately understood Lin Congzhi's meaning, but she was a little bothered: "Hey, is it okay for you to follow Yi Yi like this?"

"That depends on whether I mean well or badly," Lin Congzhi replied. "I have never thought of harming the girl. Even if I just watch from afar, I will be content."

Yao Yao was somewhat surprised, finding it hard to believe that these words would come from the aloof and cunning Lin Congzhi: "When did you become so infatuated? I never noticed before."

Lin Congzhi laughed heartily: "That was because it was deeply hidden. Plus, it was the first time I'd been pursued so madly by a girl, and I was a bit dazed. I didn't know what love was. It wasn't until after graduation, when we parted ways, that I started thinking about her from time to time. That's when I realized that I still had her in my heart and couldn't let her go."

Yao Yao seized the opportunity and asked a crucial question that had caused the two to become enemies: "If that's the case, why did you say those heartless and cruel words at the train station that day?"

Lin Congzhi asked in a deep voice, "If I said that everything I did was to marry her, would you believe me?"

This statement is quite profound.

As she wasn't involved, she didn't know what happened that day, so she couldn't make a judgment.

"As long as you are sincere, Yi Yi will definitely feel it."

Lin Congzhi was also optimistic: "I also believe that sincerity can move mountains, which is one of the reasons I came back."

"As it stands, I'm on your side between Jiang Ze and you, but if Jiang Ze changes for the better, then things might change."

Yao Yao's starting point is her best friend's lifelong happiness. She won't break up a good couple just because Lin Congzhi likes her best friend.

Lin Congzhi's lips curled up slightly, quite confidently: "Jiang Ze? I feel like he has no way back."

This answer was unexpected and found strange: "Why? Do you know what he does for a living?"

Lin Congzhi replied tactfully: "If he hadn't treated the girl badly, would I have needed to come back? If the girl is unhappy, then I must take her back."

Yao Yao asked impatiently, "You haven't answered my question yet! What does he do for a living?"

Lin Congzhi declined to reveal more: "You'll find out gradually in the future. I'm afraid the girl won't be able to handle it if I tell you now."

Yao Yao: "I won't tell her."

Lin Congzhi glanced at her, then ignored her, saying, "I don't trust your mouth."

Yao Yao: "Then why did you ask me for help a few days ago?"

“One thing at a time,” Lin Congzhi replied, but finally couldn’t resist Yao Yao’s curiosity and revealed a hint: “In short, the work he does is not legal.”

"Not a legal job? Could it be drugs?"

Thinking about this, Yao Yao got goosebumps all over her body, feeling that Jiang Ze was a bit scary.

Lin Congzhi advised, "There are many illegal jobs. Don't make wild guesses. You'll understand when the time comes."
