Lin Qingyan found his awkward act rather amusing.
"No, I'm really not nervous. Comrade Lin, you've misunderstood."
He tried to calm himself down, but his heart was still pounding.
It hurt so much, it felt like a sharp blade was piercing through, trying to rip his heart out alive.
His gaze was unfocused, fixed on the wall, and he dared not look at Lin Qingyan again.
Seeing that he was being stubborn, Lin Qingyan didn't press the issue. Instead, she asked Lu's mother, "Auntie, what's wrong? You don't look too well."
Mother Lu quickly composed herself and gave Lin Qingyan a dry smile. "It's nothing. I just heard that someone wanted to arrange a marriage for Lin Qingyan. I'm curious what kind of young man could be worthy of such a good girl like her."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "What kind of man will it be? We'll find out when the matchmaker comes in. By the way, I'm just a young girl with little experience in the world. Auntie is an experienced person, and Comrade Lu has seen a lot of people. I hope Auntie and Comrade Lu can give me some advice."
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions turned even more grim.
Lu's mother subconsciously looked at her son, silently thinking: Xiao Lin, the educated youth, doesn't like you at all, you won't have any chance anymore.
Upon hearing Lin Qingyan's words, Lu Zhengting's heart sank again. The excruciating pain was so intense that he instinctively closed his eyes.
What he didn't know was that Lin Qingyan had been observing him all along, noticing even the slightest changes in his expression.
Lin Qingyan noticed that he seemed to be in great pain, and her heart clenched tightly as well.
Should she not have said that?
To be honest, apart from Lu Zhengting, she has no intention of dating anyone else.
She asked Lu Zhengting again, "Comrade Lu, did I hurt you? Where does it hurt? Tell me."
“I…” Lu Zhengting could barely speak. His heart ached. “Comrade Lin, you didn’t hurt me. I suddenly thought of something and I feel a little sad.”
Lin Qingyan watched him bite his lip. Why did you have to be sad now of all times?
Moreover, Lu Zhengting is a very self-controlled person. Even if he has emotions in his heart, he will not show them in front of unrelated people.
This man is still too stubborn.
Lin Qingyan decided to provoke him again: "Then I want you to help me find a partner. Can you help me? You've helped me a lot before, so don't refuse this time."
This time, Lu Zhengting was completely speechless.
He was already heartbroken when he heard that she might be dating someone else. He would never do it, not even if you killed him.
He forced himself to turn to look at her and asked, "Would you be happy if I helped you?"
Seeing the redness in his eyes, Lin Qingyan could no longer lie: "I'm not happy."
As soon as she spoke, Lu Zhengting's expression visibly changed. His tense facial muscles seemed to relax instantly, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated considerably.
Just then, there was a knock on the door and Song the matchmaker's voice: "Xiao Lin, the educated youth, must be in here. Open the door quickly, I have some great news to tell you about Xiao Lin."
Li Qinqin blocked the door, still looking at the people inside, and asked Lin Qingyan, "Sister Qingyan, do you want to see her?"
Lin Qingyan nodded: "Let her in."
Lu Zhengting's face, like a palette of colors, immediately darkened, even taking on a hint of resentment.
Lin Qingyan glanced at him, suppressing a laugh.
The door opened, and Matchmaker Song scurried in, only to find Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting on the same kang (heated brick bed).
Lu Zhengting lay on the edge of the bed, and Lin Qingyan knelt in front of him. Silver needles were inserted into Lu Zhengting's knees. In this scene, Lin Qingyan must be treating Lu Zhengting.
Even though she could understand, she felt that it was against the rules for men and women to interact like this, and she even had the thought that Lin Qingyan was impure and unworthy of Zheng Yuanchao.
However, Zheng Yuanchao really liked Lin Qingyan, so she just pretended not to see it.
She smiled at Lin Qingyan and said, "Little Lin, I have good news for you. There is a very good young man who asked me to act as your matchmaker. If you two get together, it will be a match made in heaven. You two are such a perfect match!"
Lin Qingyan directly refused: "Auntie, I'm so sorry, I don't have any plans to date right now. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Upon hearing this, everyone else was surprised.
Lin Qingyan refused so decisively without even asking who the person was. Shouldn't she have listened to who that person was?
Mrs. Lu was probably too happy, and she secretly smiled.
Lin Qingyan isn't in a hurry to find a partner, so there's still hope for San'er.
Everyone else was happy, but Matchmaker Song was dumbfounded. "Young Lin, you're not young anymore. I haven't even heard who that young man is yet. You rejected him too soon. Let me tell you, he's the son of our commune secretary, Comrade Zheng Yuanchao, who often accompanies his mother to the clinic."
Fearing that Lin Qingyan might refuse again, the matchmaker Song simply blurted it out.
With Zheng Yuanchao's excellent qualities, even if Lin Qingyan initially didn't intend to date, she should have changed her mind upon hearing that he was from the Zheng family.
She waited for Lin Qingyan's reply with a smile, then added, "Little Lin Qingyan, such a good match is one of the best in our commune. So many girls would beg for it, but Yuanchao has taken a liking to you. What a wonderful marriage, don't you think?"
