"You have no idea how infuriating this kid used to be. We all thought he'd never get married in his life!"
After watching Qin Yu send Xia Lan upstairs, Lao Yang ignored the pleas for help from the other female classmates.
It's truly eye-opening that a man like that can find a wife.
"What are you all standing there for? I can't go up because I have a wife, but you all saw what Qin Yu just did. Now that a female classmate needs you, don't you know to go up?"
Old Yang saw the female students staring at Qin Yu with wide eyes in disbelief, wondering how they were going to get on such a tall car.
He quickly nudged the instructors next to him, signaling them to be smart.
"Oh? Oh!!" Wang Ding was stunned for a moment, then ran over without saying a word and knelt down on one knee, just like Qin Yu.
The female students were wondering how to get on the bus, and the male students on the bus wanted to help, but there was nowhere for them to step on...
Wang Ding's appearance perfectly resolved the matter, and the female students couldn't help but glance at him more, happily stepping on his legs to get on the bus.
"Thank you, Instructor Wang."
The sweet words of thanks melted Wang Ding's heart.
He almost couldn't maintain his persona and burst out laughing.
After carefully helping each of his female classmates onto the bus, Wang Ding won the favor of several of them and received a few grateful glances.
Qin Yu watched all of this indifferently, his gaze fixed on Xia Lan as she found her place and stood still.
Qin Yu then complained that the position wasn't good enough and gestured for Xia Lan to move a little further in so that there would be less bumping when running.
The two communicated seamlessly with their eyes throughout, leaving the male students watching in awe.
They understood with just a glance? Didn't they need to say anything?
I never knew that having a partner meant I could stay silent.
The female students looked on with envy. Sudan sat next to Xia Lan, watching her 'interaction' with Qin Yu, just like seeing her own parents. They could always understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
She found it strange when she was a child, and she never expected to see this kind of communication again now.
However, I'm also happy for Xia Lan, because I know that only people who love each other very much can have this ability.
She has seen many couples who start arguing as they talk, which makes the atmosphere feel suffocating.
No matter how much you say, the other party won't listen.
After all the students were on the bus, the vehicle slowly started moving, and they had no idea where Lao Yang was taking them.
Wu Shishi sat next to Sudan and looked at Xia Lan, asking a question.
"Lanlan, Instructor Qin spoils you so much! And you're the only one in his eyes! How do you do that?"
This was the first time Wu Shishi had ever seen anything like this. Other men would usually lend a hand, but Qin Yu simply pulled his leg back and stood up.
He acted as if he couldn't see the female students who hadn't gone up yet.
"Yeah! How did you do that? He didn't even glance at us."
One of the female classmates was also very curious: how did Xia Lan do that?
She was just behind Xia Lan, about to get into the car. They thought Qin Yu was coming out to help them, but it turns out there was no "they" in the name, only her.
"I didn't do anything!"
Xia Lan shrugged. "Besides, what's the point of interfering? He's not a child. If he really wants to watch, how can I stop him?"
"Then why would he do that? You must have some way of doing it, right?"
Another female classmate asked.
The male students in the car couldn't help but prick up their ears, wanting to hear how Xia Lan did it.
"If you really want to know what the method is, then... it should be trust."
Xia Lan looked at their eagerness to learn and spoke slowly.
"What's the meaning?"
The students all looked bewildered, not understanding what Xia Lan meant.
“He is an adult with independent thought. He avoids you because he is thinking of me, knows that he is a married man, and consciously avoids all women.”
Xia Lan explained with a smile.
"I believe loyalty is a form of self-discipline; it's not something I can control."
"For example, marriage is like two people agreeing to travel to a faraway place together. You sit facing each other, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. You would roll up the car window to prevent him from seeing the scenery."
"The first time, he thought you were cute, so he didn't blame you. Then he chose to read the newspaper, but you pulled the newspaper down and said you weren't allowed to read the newspaper and that he had to watch you."
"He spoke a few words to people in other carriages, and then you closed the door to prevent him from interacting with others, hoping that his eyes would stay on you."
"You want his gaze to stay on you the whole time, but it's really boring for two people to just stare at each other like that."
"Over time, the feeling between you will change. He will no longer find you cute, but rather annoying, and will start to resist you."
Hearing Xia Lan's words, many people thought of their parents and couldn't help but nod.
My parents are like that. My mother nags incessantly every day, which only earns her my father's indifference or disgust, and then my mother becomes hysterical.
“This is not a good marriage. A truly good marriage is one where you are mentally prepared that he has the right to get out at any time, but he never leaves.”
"Is that so?" The female student paused.
"Then let me ask you in a different way."
Seeing that they still didn't quite understand, Xia Lan explained it in a different way.
"Do you think it's better for him to be controlled by you, unable to leave, and just continue like this? Or is it better for him to have seen all the beautiful scenery along the way and still choose not to leave, willing to stay by your side forever?"
"Of course it's voluntary?"
One of the male students couldn't help but answer first.
"So you see! Forcing someone will never get you their willingness, but resentment. They will complain that you don't let them see the scenery outside. The more you prevent them from seeing it, the more they will yearn for the scenery outside."
Xia Lan's words stunned everyone. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that it made perfect sense.
How can someone who is forced into a situation and has no freedom possibly feel happy?
Thinking back to his parents, just because his father overheard him talking to another woman outside, his mother made a scene at home, forcing his father to admit his mistake. Many male students felt suffocated just thinking about it.
“I never try to control him, because I know it’s pointless.”
"Marriage is not about choosing each other from among many options, but about choosing each other from among many options no matter how much time has passed."
"I think it's useless to control; we should be tolerant, accepting all of the other person's strengths and weaknesses. That's how I see it."
Xia Lan looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
After hearing Xia Lan's words, everyone looked at each other and applauded her.
