    Chapter 1 An Invitation I Want to Fall in Love

    Although she has graduated many years ago, Cheng Yuxin still retains the good habit of talking to her dormitory all night long.To a certain extent, night talks have become an integral part of Cheng Yuxin’s life.

    Only when he saw “good night” from Lin Leshu could he sleep peacefully.

    But this time, Cheng Yuxin couldn’t sleep.

    Because before Lin Leshu sent him good night, he also sent an invitation.

    Lin Leshu’s wedding invitation.

    The other protagonists of the invitation are Cheng Yuxin and Lin Leshu’s college monitor Zheng Yiyi.

    Zheng Yiyi is enthusiastic, cheerful and has excellent academic performance.When he was in college, he was deeply loved by his classmates and valued by school leaders. He was rated as an outstanding class cadre many times and won numerous school and national awards.After graduation, it was natural that he would successfully enter one of the top domestic companies, and his promotion speed would be comparable to that of aboard the Shenzhou 11.

    Nowadays, Manager Zheng, who has a successful career, has successfully reconciled with his student sweetheart. It can be said that the spring breeze comes at the right time, and the career and love are both harvested.

    Even Cheng Yuxin, who met her by chance, couldn’t help but feel happy for her.

    But it still didn’t stop Cheng Yuxin from having insomnia.

    Cheng Yu was tossing and turning all night long.A person who usually pays special attention to his own image woke up for the first time without cleaning himself up. He just washed, exercised and had breakfast like a sleepwalker with dark circles under his eyes.

    Jiang Wanghai, Cheng Yuxin’s personal assistant, couldn’t stand it when he saw his dejected look, and asked thoughtfully: “Mr. Cheng, if you have anything that’s bothering you, can you tell me?”

    Cheng Yu’s heart wilted and he raised his head, his dull black eyes staring straight into the air in front of him: “Brother Jiang, I want to fall in love.”

    “What stimulated you?” Jiang Wanghai understood Cheng Yuxin best.Previously, Mr. Cheng and his wife had been busy for Cheng Yuxin’s lifelong event for more than half a year, trying their best to find no less than twenty blind dates who were both talented and beautiful.Just to succeed in one fell swoop and see Cheng Yuxin get married and start a business as soon as possible.

    However, the old couple worked conscientiously, but Cheng Yuxin did not accept this love. More than 20 blind dates were sternly rejected by Cheng Yuxin.Because she refused so decisively, she even sent the old lady to the hospital because of her anger. She was only discharged from the hospital a few days ago and went home.

    It was also at that time that Cheng Yuxin moved out of the Cheng family’s old house and lived alone in a villa in the suburbs.

    Cheng Yuxin bought this villa with the money she earned from her part-time job in college.In other words, everything Cheng Yuxin eats and uses now has nothing to do with the Cheng family.

    Just like this, a person who not long ago caused the whole family to be in a state of uproar over his marriage, now said that he wanted to fall in love.

    Jiang Wanghai couldn’t understand it, but he chose to respect it and asked, “Mr. Xiao Cheng has a suitable candidate?”

    Cheng Yuxin hesitated for a moment and shook his head in distress.

    “What are the requirements?”

    Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, “A little higher.”

    Jiang Wanghai nodded.Cheng Yuxin is not short herself, so it is understandable that she would want her partner to be taller.

    “Be firmer.”

    Although Jiang Wanghai was confused, he still nodded.Xiao Cheng has always been as skinny as a bamboo pole, but he didn’t expect to like plump ones.

    “It doesn’t matter if it’s a little dark…”

    Jiang Wanghai realized that this was the type Xiao Cheng always liked!

    Jiang Wanghai was overjoyed. No wonder Mr. Cheng and his wife had rejected all the blind dates they had proposed.Those blind dates are all white, clean, gentle, and skinny.The requirements are completely different from Mr. Xiao Cheng’s.

    But Jiang Wanghai was not happy for long, because Cheng Yuxin continued: “I want a man.”

    Jiang Wanghai’s smile froze on his face.

    “I like men.” As if worried that Jiang Wanghai didn’t hear clearly, Cheng Yuxin said it again seriously.

    Jiang Wanghai felt like time had frozen.When Cheng Yuxin left the dining table, Jiang Wanghai suddenly came back to his senses and caught up to him: “Mr. Cheng, are you serious?”

    Cheng Yuxin stopped and said nothing, just looked at him quietly.The black eyes were like an empty and boundless sea, boundless and endless.

    Jiang Wanghai held his breath: “I understand.”

    Cheng Yuxin left the villa and couldn’t think of where to go.In winter, even the sun was chilly. Cheng Yuxin wore too little when she went out. Now it was a little cold. She huddled against the wind. When she saw a cafe not far ahead, Cheng Yuxin walked over.

    There were almost no customers in the cafe on weekdays. Cheng Yuxin ordered a cup of hot cocoa. Although she was bored while waiting, she still didn’t want to pick up her phone.

    After all, whether it is a circle of friends, a dormitory group, or a class group, there is good news that the squad leader and sports committee member have achieved success in their studies.

    While I was getting irritated, my phone buzzed again.Cheng Yuxin became more and more upset, so he simply turned off his phone and threw it aside, looking out the window idly.

    After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision.It’s Jiang Wanghai.He paused on the road for a while, seemingly looking for something.After a while, he probably saw Cheng Yuxin on the other side of the road, running towards this side in a hurry.

    “Mr. Cheng, it turns out you are here.” Jiang Wanghai panted before he could even sit down after entering the coffee shop.

    “Is there something urgent?” Cheng Yuxin asked casually.

    “It’s not very urgent. No, it may be very urgent.” Jiang Wanghai said, taking out his mobile phone, “I really found a suitable one for what you mentioned.”

    “Oh?” Cheng Yuxin narrowed his eyes, took the phone and took a look.

    With just one glance, the lifeless eyes suddenly widened, and the hand holding the phone trembled, as if being burned by the photo.

    But on the screen there was just a dark-skinned young man with big white teeth and a silly smile at the camera.

    “Where did you get it?” Cheng Yuxin suddenly threw away the phone and asked.

    The urgency in his tone startled Jiang Wanghai.”This person was taken by me when I was a child, and I took it when I went home to visit relatives a few days ago. In fact, this photo is not complete. It was originally a photo of the two of us, and the other half was cropped off by me.” Jiang Wanghai said, for fear that Cheng Yuxin wouldn’t believe it, so he picked up his phone and found the original photo to show Cheng Yuxin.

    Sure enough, the original picture was a photo of two people.The background is a vast expanse of farmland awaiting harvest in the countryside.

    Cheng Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief.”Since you are so young, you must have a good relationship.”

    “Yes.” Jiang Wanghai said.

    “So you know he likes men.”

    Jiang Wanghai hesitated, “I, I don’t know, but he has never had a girlfriend since he was a child. Last time I went back to the village, someone introduced him to a partner, but he also rejected her.”

    This situation is surprisingly similar to Cheng Yuxin.Cheng Yu thought about it and nodded: “Then, let me introduce you.”

    After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.

    “It’s just…” Jiang Wanghai hesitated, “I grew up in his family…”

    “Huh?” Cheng Yuxin raised her eyelids and signaled Jiang Wanghai to continue.

    “The conditions at home are not very good. My parents are gone and I can’t afford to buy a house…”

    “Am I missing his apartment?” Cheng Yuxin asked with a raised eyebrow.

    “No shortage, no shortage, then I’ll tell him right now.”

    “I’m going to meet someone tomorrow. Your hometown isn’t very far from here, right.”

    Cheng Yuxin’s tone left no room for doubt.

    Although Jiang Wanghai was in a dilemma, he was more afraid of causing trouble, so he nodded and bowed in agreement, rubbed oil on his soles, and left.

    Only then did Cheng Yuxin pick up her cell phone.When I restarted my phone, the first thing that popped up was a WeChat message from my college roommate Zhou Wei: “Fourth, why don’t we celebrate such an important day for my eldest brother?”

    Cheng Yuxin’s heart sank, as if he was entangled by countless tentacles, getting tighter and tighter.

    His face was pale, and he collapsed on the chair as if exhausted. It took him a while to regain consciousness.

    “Of course.”
