Unable to Divorce After Signing the Marriage Contract

　　After chatting and eating lunch, the four of them got up and prepared to go back to the library. Just after walking out of the cafeteria, Lin Yu He’s cell phone rang.

　　He glanced at the screen, saw the caller’s name, and his steps suddenly stopped.

　　Shen Hui Xi, who was walking alongside him, noticed something strange and turned around to ask him, “He He, what’s wrong?”

　　Lin Yu He shook his head: “Nothing.”

　　He hurriedly waved his hand, “You guys go ahead, I’ll take a call.”

　　The three of them left first, and Lin Yu He found a quiet place and pressed the call button.

　　Ring. The sound stopped abruptly, and there was a moment of sudden silence like a break in the beat.

　　Lin Yu He called out in a low voice: “Dad.”

　　A gentle male voice came from the other side of the phone: “Xiao He, have you eaten yet?”

　　”Yes, have you eaten?”

　　Lin Yu He looked down at his fingers and waited patiently for the other party to cut to the chase.

　　Sure enough, after a few words of small talk, his father hesitated for a moment and then asked, “The Lu family …… I heard your Aunt Xin say that you have met each other?”

　　Lin Yu He hummed and did not say anything else.

　　He didn’t say anything, and Lin’s father couldn’t continue on the topic on the other end of the phone.

　　No matter how thick the makeup is, it can’t change the dirty nature of this marriage agreement meant to sell the son for money.

　　This is the most difficult to cope with, but it is also the most bloody truth.

　　The conversation was awkwardly silent, and the silence could almost smother one’s heart.

　　Finally, it was Lin Yu He who opened his mouth first and said comfortingly, “Mr. Lu is quite nice.”

　　”Ah, good, good.” Lin’s father was obviously relieved to hear that Lin Yu He was still willing to answer, and he asked, “What about you, Xiao He? What do you think?”

　　Lin Yu He listened to the obviously somewhat cautious tone and slowly moved his gaze to the green bamboo growing out of the grass in the flower bed to the side.

　　He let his vision focus go, and there was only a blur of yellow and miserable green in front of him. He whispered, “I feel he’s fine, too.”

　　”That’s good, that’s good ……”

　　Lin’s father repeated several times one after another before asking, “You’re getting engaged next month, aren’t you? I heard your Aunt Xin say that you were worried that the engagement would clash with the midterm exams?”

　　Lin Yu He pinched the bridge of his nose, “Hmm.”

　　The day was too cold, and he was frozen in all places. He wanted to reach out and rub his hand to ease some of it, but his fingers were also cold, and in the end, he couldn’t tell which part was colder.

　　Lin’s father’s voice continued: “This matter is mainly because they Lu family believe in this; must be an auspicious time and day, so the time arrangement may not be very easy to compromise. Plus the Lu family’s eldest son just took over the position of chairman, so now he’s also very busy. You know, Xiao He, this is also something that can’t be helped, maybe we still have to listen to their arrangements in the end ……”

　　”It’s okay, Dad.”

　　Lin Yu He bowed his head, his slightly long fringe falling and covering his eyes.

　　”I’ll just listen to the arrangement.”

　　”Hehehe, good.” Lin’s father was very relieved, “If you really can’t make it for the exam, take a leave of absence. Your grades have been so good, the teacher will surely be accommodating with your request.”

　　He asked uneasily, “Do you need the parent to go and ask the teacher for leave? Should I contact your teacher that time?”

　　”No.” Lin Yu He whispered, “You don’t have to worry, I can handle it myself.”

　　Lin’s father said, “Okay, good, Dad is relieved for you.”

　　He said gratefully, “Dad knows, our Xiao He has always understood things since he was young.”

　　Lin Yu He didn’t say anything.

　　Since he was a child, he had heard this phrase and no longer knew whether it was a compliment or a shackle.

　　”By the way,” Lin’s father added, “I see that Yan City’s weather has cooled down these days, it’s quite cold. Is your trachea okay, you don’t feel pain anymore, right?”

　　”Yes. The surgery’s been done, I’ve been well for a long time.” Lin Yu He said, “You also take care of your health.”

　　”Aye, aye.”

　　After a few more words of advice, Lin’s father finally ended the call.

　　Lin Yu He stood in the same place for a while; his exposed ears and fingers gradually turned pale with no color of blood. It’s not the coldest time yet, and there’s no white smoke when he exhaled, but it’s already tough for him now.
