Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 303 The End

"No, I've already prepared the food, thank you." Xue Li politely and courteously rejected him.

Chen Jinghan froze in place instantly. His hand holding the crucian carp trembled slightly. He looked at Xue Li with a very surprised look. His heartbeat was unbalanced and his face turned pale with panic. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Xue Li, do you want to end this relationship?"

"Yes." Xue Li nodded. She was still thinking about how to tell him her thoughts, but now that he asked, it was perfect. She didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"I feel like we really don't know each other well enough. Being together simply because of affection will only speed up the consumption of that affection, and then we will be left with nothing. Chen Jinghan, let's end it. I don't want to destroy my feelings for you and make this relationship unrecognizable because of my excessive demands. I'm sorry."

"If we don't know each other well enough, can't we just continue to deepen our understanding of each other? Why should it end?" Chen Jinghan didn't want to end it. He knew where the root of the problem lay and he was trying to find ways to change it, but this was not a reason to end the relationship. He really liked Xue Li very much.

Xue Li smiled at him, just like when they first met, sweet and gentle, "Have you ever thought that continuing to understand is the reason why I want to end it."

Because the person I like now is probably just my fantasy. Once I get to know him better, my dream will be shattered. It is better to end it here. At least I still have a false and beautiful memory worth keeping.

"Are you angry about the way I treated Lin Anna? Xue Li, that was a human life..." Chen Jinghan could never cross his bottom line. He was taught since childhood to respect life. If a person is wrong, let the law judge him instead of resorting to lynching.

Xue Li shook his head. "If it was before, I would definitely argue with you, because I almost died at the hands of Lin Anna. But now, it doesn't matter. Lin Anna and I have settled our feud, and I didn't kill her. I agree with your bottom line, but I don't want to accept your way of dealing with it. Chen Jinghan, what separates us is not just a difference in concepts. We have different definitions of many things. It's too tiring to force us together."

"Why are you tired? What are our disagreements? Xue Li, you can't give up so easily. If you do this, really..." I was very disappointed. Why can you say the end so easily? Is it just because of Lin Anna?

Isn't Lin Anna's purpose to separate us? If you do this now, even if you retaliate against Lin Anna, you will also let her get what she wants. Is this really what you want?

Chen Jinghan had a splitting headache. He couldn't figure it out. He knew that his hesitation had hurt Xue Li, but he had really tried his best. He didn't know what Xue Li was going to do to Lin Anna. He could only think as much as possible and finish the job for the other party, but all those methods he had racked his brains to prepare were of no use at all.

While Chen Jinghan was still struggling with this matter, Xue Li had already seriously thought about their future.

There will be many difficulties. This is the only thing Xue Li sees clearly.

Chen Jinghan has a strong family background, while the parents of Xue Li's body have ordinary jobs.

Chen Jinghan is the only son in the family, and all the burdens and resources of the family will be shouldered by him in the future; while Xue Li has several sisters in her family, and a younger brother who is treated like a baby, who not only can't help her, but may even hold her back.

Chen Jinghan's future is bright, but Xue Li is still waiting, waiting for the college entrance examination, waiting to go into business, waiting to seize the opportunity to give himself an unknown future.

Leaving all that aside, there are also family factors to consider.

Xue Li thought about it from another perspective. If she were Chen Jinghan's mother, she would hope that her future daughter-in-law could be a virtuous person who could stabilize the rear for Chen Jinghan, who could ensure that Chen Jinghan had no worries, who could allow him to ride the wind and waves outside and also go home to rest in peace.

But Xue Li's life plan is not to be a good wife, she wants to go out and try her luck, the hurricane of wealth is coming, if she doesn't seize the opportunity and take advantage of it, she will regret it for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to be labeled as XXX and become an accessory, that's not the path she should take after receiving independent education.

In this way, the conflict is obvious. Xue Li feels that if he continues, his future self will definitely be very tired.

But she didn't want to waste too much energy on these meaningless things, so she chose to stop the loss in time.

"Chen Jinghan, we are not suitable. This applies to all aspects. You are still immersed in sweet fantasies, so you can't see the contradictions hidden beneath the surface. But as time goes by, what should be exposed will be exposed. I don't want our relationship to be consumed by those problems, so let's just leave it at that." When Xue Li said these words, his attitude was even a little cold.

"But shouldn't we be actively trying to solve the problem? You just gave up, which is the most unfair to me." Chen Jinghan was reluctant to end it.

"Fair? When has life ever been fair?" Xue Li raised his eyes and looked at the other person. "If it were fair, we wouldn't have had conflicts because of Lin Anna. If it were fair, I wouldn't have gone to the countryside. If it were fair, why didn't those villagers go to the factory to work? There has never been any fairness, Chen Jinghan, our problem cannot be solved." The class gap will not disappear just because you say you don't care.

Unless she becomes successful, she will always be inferior to Chen Jinghan, and Xue Li is unwilling to maintain an unequal relationship.

Chen Jinghan was at a loss. He had no idea what Xue Li meant. He didn't understand why Xue Li wanted to end the relationship when Lin Anna and Xue Li had settled their feud. What he called fairness was because he didn't understand where he was wrong. Apart from being indecisive and not handling Lin Anna well enough, what else did he do wrong?

Xue Li didn't explain anything clearly, and just casually said it was over, which was going to end their relationship. He couldn't accept it.

The two of them kept talking nonsense to each other for a long time, and Jiang Yu next door didn't even notice the molten iron solidifying, but just pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip.

When Chen Jinghan went to find Xue Li, Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin went straight back to their room. Although the door was closed, it did not stop them from leaning against the door, putting their ears to the crack, and trying their best to listen to the noise outside.

"Xue Li, I think we should calm down first instead of talking about ending it right away." Chen Jinghan couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. In that case, let's just drag it out for now.
