Although this topic is not brought up for the first time, it is still difficult to face it calmly.
Regardless of how surprised Lin Yuhe's classmates should be, how much heart will be dimmed by this news. Just talking about Lin Yuhe himself, he is only 21 years old this year, and he is not yet old enough to talk about marriage.
What's more, his marriage partner is still a man.
Although same-sex marriage laws have been established for many years, deep-rooted public perceptions are still difficult to change. When it comes to issues such as inheritance, the situation will be even more complicated. In the current social environment, same-sex couples are still a minority.
So under such circumstances, any young man should feel restless when facing this kind of news.
But Lin Yuhe didn't overreact to this.
He just sat quietly at the table, the same as when his stepmother asked him what he wanted for dinner just now.
The stepmother is very satisfied with Lin Yuhe's understanding.
She took out the tablet and clicked on the information: "You must have heard of the name of the Xiangjiang Lu family."
The development of capital should be said to be changing rapidly and unpredictable. As far as the domestic situation is concerned, it is normal to be rich for only three generations, and it is hard to say that there are any "veteran families".
But the Lu family is a real wealthy family for generations.
In the past two generations, the Lu family has controlled the economic lifeline of most of the cities in Xiangjiang. Even today, it is still not to be underestimated. The gossip news about their family alone has supported many entertainment tabloids in Xiangjiang.
It's just that there are many grievances and grievances among the descendants of the wealthy family, and the Lu family is also unavoidable. The eldest son of the Lu family who is going to marry Lin Yuhe this time is the one who is the most disliked by Mr. Lu in the Lu family, and is also rumored to have the worst wind rating.
Lu Nan, but judging from the name, there is a wordless hostility and ups and downs.
But even so, the youngest of the Lu family is already considered unattainable for Lin Yuhe and the others, so the stepmother is also very cautious when speaking.
"Mr. Lu's people have already used your information to calculate."
The stepmother tapped the tablet, and a complex horoscope chart appeared on the screen, with densely packed text and many obscure symbols mixed in.
"Although you and him are ten years apart, fortunately you are a good match, and they have agreed to get married."
Letting a college student marry a man ten years older than him without any emotional basis, such an indescribable thing came from the mouth of his stepmother, it seems like Lin Yuhe's luck.
This is more ridiculous than marriage itself.
Lin Yuhe looked at the steam coming out of the coffee in front of him, and responded calmly.
The coffee was very mellow, with a strong bitter aroma. While talking, the stepmother had already drank half a cup of coffee, but Lin Yuhe didn't touch a sip.
He has always disliked bitterness.
The stepmother didn't care much about Lin Yuhe's unenthusiastic attitude. Her only dissatisfaction with Lin Yuhe comes from his face that resembles his biological mother, and now that this face has become an excellent bargaining chip when negotiating with the Lu family, she has nothing to criticize Lin Yuhe .
"Young Master Lu usually works in Shencheng. He is very busy. He probably won't come to Yancheng before he gets married."
As the stepmother spoke, she brought up the background information of Lu Nan Company.
"But he will send someone to make arrangements, and someone will contact you at that time, just listen to them."
Lin Yuhe nodded, and he didn't have any objection to the fact that the newlyweds were too busy to see each other before they got married.
The stepmother glanced at him, and pretended to mention it unintentionally: "You also had a lot of expenses before your illness. Young Master Lu has invested in laboratories and medical technology, which happens to be able to help you."
Lin Yuhe was silent, his throat was slightly itchy.
The indoor temperature is suitable and the cold wind is isolated, but he wants to cough again.
Lin Yuhe has hereditary asthma. He spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and even had a major operation when he was eighteen. The Lin family's assets were insufficient, and part of the money for Lin Yuhe's medical treatment was provided by his stepmother Wu Xin.
Therefore, Lin Yuhe had no right to protest about his marriage with Young Master Lu.
Wu Xin stopped talking, and didn't speak too tightly, so as to appear stingy. She calmed down and said, "I am here this time. Apart from work, I also need to discuss the wedding with Mr. Lu's people. I will stay in Yancheng for a few more days. If you need anything, you can come to me."
Lin Yuhe naturally knew that this was just an occasional talk, so he responded politely: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Wu Xin was very satisfied with his attitude, and continued: "The Lu family is pressing for the marriage, so the wedding has to be completed before the year. The initial plan is to get engaged in the first ten days of next month, and the wedding will be held a month later. The details We will let you know when the date is set.”
Lin Yuhe finally had some expressions after hearing this.
"The first ten days of next month...we have a midterm exam." He hesitated before opening his mouth, "If possible, can you avoid the exam time? Because there are a lot of subjects, it may be troublesome to make up the exam."
This was Lin Yuhe's first request today. It fell into Wu Xin's ears, but it was as if he heard some childish question, and he couldn't help laughing: "... the midterm exam?"
"This is a big event to get married with the Lu family. What kind of midterm exam are you talking about..."
Wu Xin shook his head, but in the end he still didn't finish the second half of the sentence. As if she didn't want to argue with Lin Yuhe, she waved her hand and said, "I'll mention it to them, but how to arrange it in the end depends on the Lu family's good day and Young Master Lu's itinerary."
After explaining, Wu Xin didn't waste any more time: "That's all I want to say, you can eat."
She glanced at her watch: "I still have work, I'll go back first, and I'll contact you if I have any questions."
Lin Yuhe said softly: "Go slowly."
After Wu Xin left, the meals were served one after another. The dinner was sumptuous, and it must have cost a lot, judging by the class of this hotel.
The Wu family is much richer than the Lin family, and Wu Xin doesn't bother to treat Lin Yuhe harshly in terms of money.
In front of outsiders, she never left anything that would provoke people's tongues.
Expensive products were placed on the whole table plate by plate, which made the surrounding tables and chairs seem so empty.
Lin Yuhe didn't move his chopsticks, he called the waiter and packed the whole table together.
When he returned to the dormitory against the colder wind than when he came, Zhen Ling and the second child had already returned and were discussing whether to order takeaway.
The second child's name is Zhu Bo. According to him, the name was chosen because the family wanted him to study for a Ph.D. But before he got his Ph.D., Zhu Bo became an anchor, and he was still a well-known anchor with millions of followers.
Today it was because he was recognized by fans on the way home from school, he went to the cafeteria late, had a quick meal, and only wanted to order supper when he came back.
Lin Yuhe showed the lunch box in his hand: "No need to order, I packed dinner and came back, let's eat together."
Zhen Ling helped arrange the lunch boxes one by one and opened them, his eyes lit up: "Wow, hairy crabs! Wow, arctic shellfish!"
Lin Yuhe, who had been frozen all night, finally found a little hungry feeling amidst the familiar laughter.
As soon as a pile of lunch boxes were set up, Shen Huixi walked in with a pair of polished sneakers.
"Hehe is back? What did I want to ask you just now? It's past ten o'clock. Don't forget to charge your hot water bottle again."
Lin Yuhe was reminded: "Oh yes, I will charge now."
It will take a few days for the dormitory to be officially heated, and he now relies on a hot water bottle to continue his life at night.
He called Shen Huixi to have supper together, and after stepping on the bed ladder to charge the hot water bottle, he moved the chair and sat there.
The glamorous food finally revealed its deliciousness on the low table made of cardboard boxes. Although the packaged meal lost some of its flavor when it was first made, it tasted much better than it did in a cold restaurant.
Zhen Ling also took out a few bottles of coke that were delivered when ordering takeout, which was more pleasant than the expensive red wine in high-end restaurants.
The four chatted while eating, Zhen Ling said: "We will go to the hospital for an internship next semester, right? I have a classmate next door, and they will be doing an internship this semester."
Next door to Yancheng University is Shuimu University, and the internship unit they cooperated with is the famous Hexie Hospital.
"In the past two days, the ICU of the Hexie seems to have picked up a big man, and even the interns like them have started to check their credentials."
Holding the lobster shell, Zhu Bo asked, "What big shot?"
Zhen Ling shook her head: "I don't know, the interns won't be in the ICU, and they won't be allowed to come near them for two days."
Shen Huixi said: "It's all at the level of entering the ICU, maybe there will be news in two days."
Since he is a big shot, he may still need to be notified nationwide.
After chatting a few words, they prepared to rest after supper. Before washing up, Lin Yuhe touched his warm water bag on purpose.
It's already hot.
It's just that no matter how hot the hot water bag is, it can only be partially warmed. When they actually lay down on the bed, Lin Yuhe still couldn't get rid of the cold trouble.
He was born with a cold body, so it was useless to add several layers of quilts, and even if he was wrapped up overnight, there was no temperature, as if his whole body was completely cold from the inside out.
We went on a trip together in the dormitory before, and the four of us made a bed in the wooden floor room. Zhen Ling didn't sleep well, and accidentally touched Lin Yuhe's leg when he turned over, and he was so frightened that he woke up.
I thought someone put ice cubes on me.
At that time, Zhen Ling said that Hehe urgently needed a cute little bed warmer.
This year's menacing air-conditioning mass and strong cooling have made life even more difficult. It was because Lin and He were used to the long winter, and after tossing and turning for a long time, they gradually fell asleep in the drowsy cold that was hard to dispel.
When I woke up the next day, my hands and feet were still cold, so cold that my fingertips were numb.
Wrapping herself up three layers inside and three layers outside, Lin Yuhe walked to the window lightly and opened the curtains.
The morning light outside the window was faint, and through the misty glass, one could see the gray sky outside.
Another day without sun.
The phone on the table vibrated twice, the screen lit up, and there was a new message.
Before Lin Yuhe recovered from the morning chill, he saw the two messages that made it harder for him to warm up.
Wu Xin: Free up next Tuesday
Wu Xin: Mr. Lu is coming to Yancheng, let's meet him.
