Back at Lu's house, Mother Lu could no longer control her anger.

She pushed the door open and slammed it shut, causing the door panel and door sill to collide with each other with a loud bang.

"Comrades, you..." Aunt Zhao, the nanny, came out to ask them what they wanted to eat for dinner. Halfway through her words, she saw that Mother Lu was so angry that her hair was about to stand up. Aunt Zhao said nothing and went back quietly.

Seeing how knowledgeable Aunt Zhao was, Mother Lu felt a little better, but only a little. When she returned to the main house and saw Lu Deping again, her anger rose up again.

"Tell me, Deping, what happened? What happened to your child?" Lu's mother questioned, "Do you know how many people I asked to find this girl for you? Do you know how good her family conditions are and what positions her parents hold? I said so many good things to the matchmaker that she was willing to go on a blind date with us, and you let me down halfway through the blind date."

"You only know how to look at the other person's family conditions. Are the conditions that important? I'm working on my own now, and it's only a matter of time before I make money." Lu Deping sat on the sofa, his face pale. "If you like her conditions, you go and marry that girl, and I want to be with A-Jun."

He insisted: "I want to marry A-Jun."

"Do you want to piss your mother off to death?" Mother Lu took a breath and felt like her son was possessed by a ghost. How could she not remember that her son was such a sentimental person?

Mother Lu was so angry that she couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the room, "Do you know how embarrassed your mother is today? You might as well just stab me in the heart with a knife. That Lin Minjun made me so embarrassed, and you still want to be with her?"

After Lu's mother finished speaking, she stared at Lu Deping, and when she saw her son nodded, she almost fainted.

She pointed at Lu Deping, her fingers trembling. "No, I won't agree. Anyone can be my daughter-in-law except her. She is trampling on your and my reputation. I don't want such a daughter-in-law."

Lu Deping said nothing.

Mother Lu thought again that her son had always been soft-hearted, so she softened her tone, "I've heard people say that sons forget their mothers when they grow up and get married, but I never believed it. My son has been filial since he was young, and he won't watch his mother die of anger. Deping, I beg you, don't think about her anymore, try with Fang Xiaotong, she's a good girl, go apologize to her, say something soft, and try to get along with each other, Deping, you say something!"

"I don't know how to get along with others. I only want Jun." This was the only sentence Lu Deping said. It was obvious that he was insane.

Mother Lu covered her head, feeling that she had high blood pressure. "You are crazy, you are really crazy, you are going to piss your mother off to death, my blood pressure is rising, please send me to the hospital, no, send me directly to the morgue, when I die you can be with Lin Minjun, as long as I am alive, she can never enter our house."

Cry first, make a fuss, then hang yourself. This saying used to work every time.

But it didn't work this time. Lu Deping didn't compromise immediately. Instead, he went up to help his mother sit down and said calmly, "Mom, if you don't want to accept A-Jun and don't want me to be with her, then we'll die together. This isn't my original life anyway."

Mother Lu was shocked: "What do you mean this is not your original life?"

"I should have been with Jun. We were husband and wife. We didn't get married because you didn't agree. Mom, you ruined my life." Lu Deping's eyes were red. He wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, like a madman.

He even had a particularly crazy idea. In their last life, they had a car accident, but they didn't necessarily die. Maybe if he died now, he could go back to his last life? Could he go back to the last life with Jun?

But Lu Deping soon gave up again. What was the point of going back to his previous life alone? Ah Jun couldn't go back.

This made Lu Deping even more desperate, he pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Deping, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Lu's mother was frightened by the madness in Lu Deping's eyes and asked repeatedly.

Lu Deping lay down on the sofa, staring at the beams with a self-deprecating smile, and muttered, "I can't go back, Mom, I can't go back."

"Where are you going?"

No matter what Lu's mother asked, Lu Deping just muttered to himself.

“There’s no going back.”

Mother Lu kept waving her hands in front of her son. She was so scared that she almost died. "If you can't go back, then don't go back. I promise you, okay? You can be with whoever you want to be with, and I won't care about you, okay?"

"Really?" Lu Deping finally gained some popularity and turned around.

Mother Lu endured the humiliation and said, "Really."

A few days later, Lin Minjun received news from Director Su, saying that he had helped to make connections so that she could attend the junior high school cultural cram school at night school.

The first time I went there, I was taken by Director Su to report first.

The head teacher's surname was also Lin, a middle-aged man in his sixties, full of bookish air. Director Su said he was a university teacher.

Teacher Lin smiled as soon as she saw Lin Minjun: "You are a relative, don't be too nervous, the cultural courses at the junior high school level are not too difficult, you can catch up at a glance."

Lin Minjun breathed a sigh of relief. She was too embarrassed to tell Director Su that she was a little afraid of the teacher. But when she found Teacher Lin so amiable, she suddenly felt less nervous.

Before coming here, Lin Minjun thought she should be the oldest in the class, but after entering the classroom and meeting her classmates, Lin Minjun discovered a surprising fact: she was the youngest in the class. Some of her classmates were in their thirties or forties. Looking at the employees who were already working in the unit, they came to report and chat about things in the unit. Many classmates were even over forty years old and were still studying.

Lin Minjun became the youngest in the class.

After leaving the school, Lin Minjun thanked Director Su again, "Thank you, I really don't know what to say. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have the opportunity to study again in my life. Sister Su, you are so kind."

"You don't have to be so polite. But you don't have to think too much about what I said. I'm happy to see you living a good life." Director Su patted Lin Minjun on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Study hard. I'm waiting for the day when you can get into the high school cram school and the night school."

"I will definitely do it." Lin Minjun also encouraged herself in her heart.

Director Su: "Then let's make it like this. Today is the first day of school. You will come to class in three days. Pay attention to the class time and don't be late."

Lin Minjun: “Okay.”

Night school classes are held in the evening, and employees can only come to study after work. Lin Minjun attends classes according to their schedule.

As the popularity of the newspaper faded, the business in the store was not as busy as before, and people finally had some time to catch their breath.

Noon is the busiest time. In the evening, when the employees get off work and go home for dinner, the business in the store becomes quiet. There are always people coming here and there, so it’s not like there are no customers at all, but it’s not like there are all these people swarming in at the same time either.

Lin Minjun increased Aunt Cao's salary. She would work in the store for a while in the evening, leave early when it was time for class, and come back to close the store after class. Her time was arranged perfectly.

After attending night school for a week, Lin Minjun quickly got used to the life of opening a shop during the day and attending classes at night.

She even bought a notebook and a pen and wrote down what the teacher said in her textbook. A good memory is no match for a bad pen.

Lin Minjun was smart and hardworking, so she was considered a top student in the class. Teacher Lin made her the class monitor, responsible for conveying the teacher's messages and coordinating relationships with classmates.

Lin Minjun really likes the life in night school. Although her classmates are quite old, every one of them is very friendly, which makes her feel like she has made up for the regret of not going to school before.

That night, Lin Minjun asked Aunt Cao to look after the store while she rode her tricycle to night school.

Halfway through the journey, I saw Lu Deping. Lu Deping was riding a bicycle and parked at the corner. He was standing in the middle of the road, staring down at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Minjun looked at him from a distance and always felt that Lu Deping was different from before. When he just came back, Lu Deping always had a sense of pride and his back was always straight, but now his back was collapsed and he looked depressed.

Meeting here late at night, Lin Minjun didn't think it was a coincidence. After all, going to night school and going to Lu Deping's house were two different directions, and it was obvious that he was waiting for her here.

Lin Minjun had always wanted to find an opportunity to explain to Lu Deping that there was no possibility for them to be together anymore. They would go their separate ways and would never have any relationship again.

But tonight is not the right time, she is in a hurry to go to class. Teacher Lin said there will be a small test today. What should she do if she is late?

Thinking of this, Lin Minjun pretended not to have seen or recognized him, and without pausing for a moment, she rode her tricycle past Lu Deping.

But just as she was about to pass, Lin Minjun felt that the tricycle was pulled back by someone.

"Ajun." Lu Deping's voice sounded from behind.

Lin Minjun knew that she couldn't hide today, so she turned to look at Lu Deping.

Lu Deping also stared at Lin Minjun in a daze, and saw that her skin was getting whiter and her posture was getting more relaxed and natural. Lin Minjun was not dressed up today, her hair was just roughly braided into a pigtail in front of her chest, and she was wearing a light-colored skirt that she had made herself. She exuded a sense of purity and elegance. The strands of hair on her cheeks fluttered in the wind and fell on her nose. She couldn't help but wrinkled her nose, and her expression was coquettish.

This reminded Lu Deping of his previous life, when they had just gotten married. On summer nights, he would go out to discuss business and when he came back late, he would see Lin Minjun standing at the door waiting for him, dressed like this.

Lu Deping couldn't help but step forward and wanted to help her tuck her hair behind her ears, but Lin Minjun dodged the next second and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do?"

The people are still the same old friends, but their relationship is completely different.

Lu Deping felt so uncomfortable, as if his heart was being squeezed and he couldn't breathe. He said stubbornly, "Ah Jun, I've convinced my mother. She won't force you or embarrass you anymore. Let's get married, okay?"

He said anxiously: "I will no longer force you to do anything you don't want to do. If you don't want to have children, then don't have them. As for medical treatment, we won't go. I just want to be with you now. No matter what we do, as long as we are together..."

Halfway through his speech, he was interrupted by Lin Minjun, "So you have always known that I don't like those things?"

Lu Deping opened his mouth but said nothing.

Lin Minjun's eyes gradually turned cold. "So you have always known that those things made me suffer, and you have always let me endure it, and then watched me suffer from the sidelines? Is it fun? Is it interesting, Lu Deping?"

"I...I didn't mean it." Lu Deping was speechless and couldn't explain himself.

Lin Minjun: "No, you did it on purpose. You know I don't like those things, but you kept asking me to endure it. That's because as long as I endured it and sacrificed me, your family's fire would not be directed at you. Your mother would just put pressure on me and ask me to see a doctor everywhere. But in fact, as long as you said we don't want to have children, your mother would have no way to deal with you."

At this moment, Lin Minjun finally figured it out and saw through it. She had never been as clear-headed as she was now. She knew that she had misjudged people in her previous life.

Lin Minjun rode forward two steps suddenly, turned around and looked at Lu Deping: "There are some things I didn't want to say before, because I always felt that we had some affection and were still friends. But now I'm telling you seriously, don't bother me anymore, Lu Deping. We have no relationship now, and we won't even be friends in the future. I regret my marriage to you in my life. It was the worst thing I did. I learned a term in night school called "cut off all ties". Let's cut off all ties now. This is serious, no temper. I don't want any of these things, the factory, the car, the house, and I don't want you either."

Lu Deping looked at Lin Minjun and saw the determination in her eyes.

She wants to break up with herself.

Lu Deping was hurt by the word regret, which completely shattered his defenses. He felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away at once. He couldn't even speak and could only watch Lin Minjun walk away.

Lu Deping couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand, why things turned out like this.

Lin Minjun was on high alert when she left, fearing that Lu Deping would suddenly catch up and catch her.

On the way to school, Lin Minjun rode like a little rabbit, very carefully. She finally arrived at the night school, but when she looked at the time posted on the gate, she was indeed late!

When they arrived at the classroom, the students had already started their exams. Teacher Lin was sitting behind the podium. He smiled when he saw Lin Minjun. In his eyes, the 20-something Lin Minjun was still like a child. "Why is our little monitor late today?"

Lin Minjun smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry for the delay on the way, teacher."

"It's okay. The questions are written on the blackboard. You can copy them down and take the test yourself," said Teacher Lin.

After the test, everyone handed in their notebooks to Teacher Lin for marking. Lin Minjun was short of time and only finished half of her paper. While waiting for the teacher to mark the questions, she clenched her hands tightly together, feeling extremely nervous.

After marking Lin Minjun's homework, Teacher Lin laughed and said, "Minjun only answered half of the questions correctly. What a pity, she can only be considered half first place."

The classmates all laughed in good faith.

Lin Minjun sat in her seat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but think of Lu Deping.

It's all his fault! If Lu Deping hadn't stopped her halfway, she would have definitely been the first.

Lin Minjun's dislike for him increased even more.
