Shen Ye, who came to pick up Yun Yan outside the educated youth center, was just about to knock on the door when he was stunned after hearing Zhou Yuanchao's words.
"I don't want to! Zhou Zhiqing, you and I have never known each other. I don't know why you suddenly say such a thing." Yun Yan said indifferently.
Zhou Yuanchao didn't expect Yun Yan to reject him without even thinking. Normally, shouldn't she be ecstatic and agree to him immediately?
"Yun Yan, why are you unwilling? Don't you have any feelings for me at all?" Zhou Yuanchao came back to his senses and asked in confusion.
"Zhou Zhiqing, I've never had any so-called affection for you. And you're not even in my range of potential partners. Please don't say such things again."
"Why don't you consider me? Am I not good enough?" Zhou Yuanchao couldn't understand why any woman would not consider him in her mate selection range.
"You are very outstanding, but I don't want to marry someone who is above my level." After saying that, Yun Yan was about to leave.
When Zhou Yuanchao saw that she was about to leave, he immediately strode forward and stopped her.
"Yun Yan, you must give me a reasonable explanation today. Why am I, Zhou Yuanchao, not worthy of you?" Zhou Yuanchao was a little exasperated.
Seeing him like this, Yun Yan no longer gave him face. Since he didn't know what was good for him, then don't blame her for being mean.
"Zhou Yuanchao, what do you like about me? I am not as good as Li Shuwan in terms of appearance or family background. Why do you not like Li Shuwan but like me?" Yun Yan asked back.
"I..." Zhou Yuanchao was speechless. What exactly did he like about Yunyan? He himself didn't seem to know.
"Zhou Yuanchao, you said you liked me only because I'm different from the girls you've met before. I don't have the same feelings for you as they did."
"You like the way I don't like you. If I had been clinging to you like everyone else at the beginning, would you still say you liked me?"
After hearing Yun Yan's words, Zhou Yuanchao was a little at a loss. At first, it seemed that he was really interested in Yun Yan because she was different from other girls.
"That was indeed the case at the beginning, but later I found that I seemed to really like you. Yunyan, I am serious."
"Really? Since you are serious, have you told your family about wanting to date me? Given your family background, will they agree to you dating or even marrying an orphan girl who has no parents, no power or influence?" Yun Yan asked with a smile.
Zhou Yuanchao felt a little guilty when she asked him that, and he avoided looking at her.
Looking at his expression, Yun Yan knew that this young man was just acting on impulse and had not thought about it at all.
"Since you don't have your parents' consent, how can you say you like me? Or did you originally plan to just play around with me and break up when you got tired of me?"
"Yunyan, do you think it's so important whether a relationship has a result or not?" Zhou Yuanchao asked.
"Of course it's important. A relationship without a future is just a waste of time. My time is precious, and I don't want to waste even a minute."
If a young man like Zhou Yuanchao confessed his love to me in the 21st century, I would definitely agree. I could use him to gain benefits during the relationship and get a generous breakup fee after breaking up. I would be more than willing to play along with him.
But now that I can live a better life with my own prophetic abilities, why should I waste time trying to please him?
"Can you be sure that the people you meet in the future won't be a waste of time?"
"Zhou Yuanchao, I just don't want to waste my time on someone who is not worth it."
"Do you think I'm not worth wasting your time on?" Zhou Yuanchao couldn't believe it.
"Of course, because you've never treated me as an equal. You said you liked me, but that was just a casual remark. In your opinion, I shouldn't have rejected you. As for how to please your family, that's my business. After all, in your opinion, if I could marry you, I'd be marrying above my station."
Yun Yan ruthlessly exposed his thoughts. When Zhou Yuanchao wanted to defend himself, Shen Ye's voice came from outside.
"Yan Yan, why does it take you so long to eat?" Shen Ye pushed the door open and came in, saying as he walked.
"Why are you still standing in the yard after finishing your meal? Aren't you cold? Go home quickly."
"Okay, cousin, I'll be back right away." Yun Yan agreed with him.
With that, the two of them left the educated youth site together. Seeing them leave, the people who had been watching the excitement looked at each other in confusion. Xu Weiguo had intended to comfort his good friend, but when he turned around and saw Qian Qian looking at him thoughtfully, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Yun Yan, in your opinion, what kind of person should we date so that it is not a waste of time?" Shen Ye couldn't help asking on the way back.
"I haven't met the right person yet, but my life plan for the next ten years doesn't include getting married and having children," Yun Yan said bluntly.
What's going on today? Everyone is confessing their feelings to me, openly or secretly.
"You have no plans to get married and have children within the next ten years?" Shen Ye was a little bit incredulous after hearing her answer.
"Yeah, what's the problem with that? There's no law that says women have to get married when they reach a certain age."
"Don't you feel lonely? Isn't it nice to have someone by your side?" Shen Ye tried to persuade her.
After hearing his words, Yun Yan stopped and looked at him, "Chen Ye, even if I want to get married in the future, that person can't be you."
"Why? Is there something wrong with me that makes you think I'm not worthy of you?" Chen Ye didn't understand why Yun Yan rejected him without even thinking.
"You're great, but you're not right for me. I'm looking for a partner who can work with me, who can stand by me, encourage me, and support me when I need him. He's someone who will always be there for me no matter what I do."
"How do you know I'm not that person?"
"Chen Ye, you are a soldier. Your body and time belong to the country. How much time do you have for yourself? How much time can you devote to your wife and children in the future?" Yun Yan said directly.
After hearing this, Shen Ye fell silent. What she said was the truth. He really couldn't be with her all the time, but she rejected him for this reason, which Shen Ye couldn't accept.
"Yun Yan, many military wives in the army have gone through this. Why can't you..."
"Because I am a selfish person and can never be the selfless and perfect life partner you envision." Yun Yan interrupted him.
"Chen Ye, you never understand the real me. I am a selfish person. I occasionally have kindness and compassion, but that is only on the premise that it does not harm my interests." Yun Yan said sharply.
