Lin Mengwan reached out and touched Shen Jinjin's two playful braids, with a gentle smile on her face: "Jinjin, next time there is a chance, I will personally help you cut a hairstyle like this, and I promise to make you more beautiful and lovely!"
However, Shen Jinjin shook her head in fear and whispered, "No, my brother said that I will get married when I turn sixteen. Cutting my hair means wearing a phoenix crown and a shawl to get married..."
At the end of her speech, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed a little afraid to face the reality.
Ever since she received Xin's education, Shen Jinjin has developed a deep resistance to traditional arranged marriages.
However, faced with her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, especially since this marriage was arranged by her late mother, she could hardly find any reason to refuse.
When Lin Mengwan learned that Shen Jinjin had a childhood marriage, she was also shocked: "You have a childhood marriage with someone else?"
Seeing her friend's eyes wide open with disbelief, Shen Jinjin nodded silently to indicate her agreement.
"Then do you know what kind of person the other person is?" Lin Mengwan continued to ask.
Shen Jinjin thought about it for a while, and the scene of her first visit to the Xu family gradually emerged in her mind. She frowned and said.

“But…parents’ orders…cannot be disobeyed…” Shen Jinjin stuttered, a little at a loss.
Then, Lin Mengwan gave her a lot of popular science about free love and how happy it would be to spend your life with the person you love.
Before this, Shen Jinjin had always believed that marriage was decided by parents, and the two of them would go through life stumbling around. She had never thought about what love was.
Naturally, I never thought about what it feels like to be liked.
"Why, your face turned red after hearing what I said. Did you think of someone you like?" Lin Mengwan joked.
Shen Jinjin quickly changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go, the time is almost up."
