The two of them probably have been together for a long time and can make a few jokes.
The feelings don't seem to be the same as they were at the beginning, and there is a sense of distance.
It’s not that close, at most it’s just superficial friendship.
Si Ming is indeed very handsome, and everyone who sees him has to admit that.
But Jiang Li is not a person who only looks at appearance, nor does he like someone just because she is pretty.
As for why she doesn't want to fall in love, it's mainly because she's not interested.
Except for my great-grandfather, none of the elders in the clan urged me to get married.
On the one hand, in today's society, both men and women get married late, and it is too common to get married around 30 years old.
Furthermore, there are still several outstanding young people among the younger generation of the Jiang family.
With Grandpa and Jiang Li watching, the children all performed well.
As for whether there will be any competition in the future, that is a matter for the future.
It hasn't happened yet, so don't have preconceived notions.
**
A coffee shop.
Jiang Li sat with Cui Ling.
She stared blankly at the traffic outside the floor-to-ceiling window and hadn't spoken for half an hour.
When Jiang Li received her call before, he was a little puzzled.
The two did know each other, but they were not familiar enough to go shopping together.
However, she had helped take care of Ye Zhenzhen before, and the two of them kept each other's contact information and would chat occasionally.
Although they have different personalities, they have some tacit understanding.
As soon as she entered the door, she was told that her ex-boyfriend wanted to get back together with her. She was so upset that she couldn't express it in words.
"I can't let him go."
Cui Ling suddenly spoke, but his expression didn't show much sadness, most likely he was enduring it.
"But I don't want to be with him."
"I had a breakup before, and I suffered from insomnia and hair loss for a month. I only managed to get through it by relying on alcohol to numb myself."
"I also told him at the time that even if we broke up, I would never look back."
Jiang Li didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Cui Ling didn't seem to need any opinions from her, she just wanted to talk.
"Now that he's come back to me, I'm still shaken."
"But reason tells me that the pain I experienced before was real. If I look back and still can't find a good outcome, then it's all my own fault."
"Thinking of that ending, I can't continue to be with him."
After a moment of silence, Cui Ling continued, "I can bear it. Now I just hope he will give up on me, so that I can completely heal myself."
Jiang Li: “…”
She didn't understand Cui Ling's mentality, but expressed respect for him.
There is no standard answer when it comes to love.
Whether to leave freely or to leave after a struggle is a personal choice.
Obviously, Cui Ling can be love-brained or rational.
She can ignore the sunk costs and cut losses in time.
"I just... have something to say, and I want to find someone to talk to."
Cui Ling felt a little embarrassed. "I know myself well. No matter how much I'm wavering now, I won't agree to get back together."
Jiang Lixin believes this.
If another man who meets her requirements appears in the future, she will not refuse to be with him.
However, the blow she suffered after the breakup was definitely heavy.
Cui Ling is probably the type of person who devotes himself wholeheartedly to a relationship, but can force himself to let go freely after breaking up.
The two of them sat from afternoon to dusk.
As it was getting dark, Cui Ling asked her to leave.
"You wasted the whole afternoon with me, so I'll treat you to a meal."
Jiang Li didn't refuse.
While the two were having their meal, Cui Ling spoke.
"I'll find a new boyfriend as soon as possible."
Jiang Li: “…”
Well, I recovered quickly.
"I have never let down any of my relationships. After breaking up, I naturally need to cheer myself up. I am not a widower, so there is no reason to be in mourning."
"When the old one is gone, the new one will naturally be needed to fill the gap."
"I came to the human world to enjoy life, not to overcome disasters."
Then, she looked at Jiang Li and said, "You can date too. Life without a man is so boring. You have money and status. Finding a younger man can prolong your youth. Trust me."
Jiang Li: “…”
Well, that’s what I mean. Sometimes I don’t have much in common with this person.
Although she is more rational than most women.
But if there is such a person around you who provides enough emotional value, it is hard not to be moved.
She believes in love, and she believes even more that love has a shelf life.
Things with a shelf life will expire sooner or later.
She doesn't want to become like Cui Ling.
It’s okay for love to fade.
I am afraid that love will fade away, but the habit has already penetrated into my bones, which is the most troublesome thing.
Don’t say that love will eventually turn into family affection.
She has no shortage of this stuff.
"Even if there's no love, a harmonious sex life is still necessary. I mean regular sex. Otherwise, our women's bodies can't handle it."
Jiang Li said: "Most of the time, I don't care about other people's opinions, but I don't want to right now."
There is no demand for that.
Cui Ling is two years older than her, which is normal.
She is the daughter of the Cui family, who has a wealthy family and a strong fortune. She has no trouble finding a man if she wants to get married.
Even people in the circle can be found.
It's really not uncommon for couples to have their own affairs after marriage.
Many couples who seem to be in love have more or less some element of arranged marriage.
"How much did you spend on your ex-boyfriend?" Jiang Li asked.
Cui Ling thought for a moment and said, "Not much. I'm quite stingy. It's probably around 200,000 or 300,000 yuan."
Jiang Li: “…”
To some extent, it is a bit stingy.
Cui Ling smiled. "There's no way I'm going to marry him. Our family backgrounds are so different. Even if my parents were open-minded, I wouldn't marry him. I should at least pay him some compensation for his emotional distress."
