Chapter 414 Take the Test
Xi Yan didn't know how to explain it. Although his mother was open-minded, she had sought out a psychologist to analyze his behavior because of his delay in getting married.

According to this expert’s professional analysis, a large part of his behavior stems from his mother’s influence...

This sentence alone successfully silenced Xi Yi.

Xi Yan has never interpreted his behavior. If he had to interpret this behavior from the perspective of blood, it would probably be... that he felt sorry for his mother after the divorce.

His mother was a strong-willed person. During her decades of working life, she was known as the Iron Lady. She almost lost her life in several accidents, but she never gave up. However, she suffered a setback emotionally, and she never gave up again. touched.

Xi Yan knew that she might have forgotten it, but because of this, she felt that the feelings were not worth her effort, so she put them aside.

Xi Yan identified with his mother deep down in his heart, so much so that he left no escape route for himself emotionally. If he didn't fall in love, he would get married once in his life. If the two of them separated in the end, then he would admit defeat.

Xi Yan thought for a while before replying: "Probably, it's hard to be tempted, so I have to get married."

It's cowardice and selfishness. In short, marriage is more loyal and reliable than love. Even this result is not [-]%.

Mao Yuning's eyes drifted slightly away, seeing the sunset slowly sinking in the distance and the cold wind whistling past her cheeks.

Their conversation echoed in my mind.

At the same time, she warned herself very clearly that at her age, meeting a man who was too perfect would be a huge lie.

Xi Yan is obviously the best among perfect men.

She may not have been able to control it when she was in her 20s, not to mention that she was already in her forties, and her appearance had already faded.

"Coincidentally, I think exactly the opposite. Marriage is different from falling in love. It is the most important stage in life, and falling in love is more like a test. If you barely pass, it will be very difficult to get into marriage. If love is miserable, marriage will only be It will be worse, but if you don't even take the test paper and get a pass for marriage, no one can guarantee the outcome of this relationship." Mao Yuning said seriously, holding the corners of her lips.

Xi Yan stood there silently.

Mao Yuning didn't hear a response for a long time, thinking that he was unhappy, so she turned to look at his face.

He nodded towards her and said, "You are right."

Mao Yuning: "..."

and then?
give up?

Or change your principles?
The two of them went to the third floor of the mall to eat.

After ordering, Xi Yan rinsed the dishes, poured her a cup of tea, and said naturally: "What are your passing requirements for a partner?"

Mao Yuning: "..."

She couldn't figure out what he meant.

Xi Yan saw her peach blossom eyes open and looked at him blankly, smiled softly and said, "I accept the test."

Mao Yuning said: "Don't you not fall in love?"

Xi Yan looked at her equally seriously and said, "Can't we complete these tests as friends?"

Mao Yuning shook his head and said: "...No, what if...you have paid a lot but you don't get the results you want. This is unfair to you."

She has always been sane when it comes to emotional matters, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to remain alone and innocent for so many years.

"You only need to consider your own feelings. As for myself, I know very well what I want and how much it will cost. As for the final result, if it is not what I want, it must be because I have not paid enough, and I want too much. More." Xi Yan held the teacup and put it down gently, his voice was slow and powerful, but deafening.

Mao Yuning was speechless for the first time.

The food came quickly. Mao Yuning probably had a habit of being an actor for many years. He always ate very little and felt guilty if he ate too much.

Xi Yan held serving chopsticks and occasionally offered her food. She couldn't refuse, so she ate a lot without realizing it.

When the two people came down from the mall, it was still early.Xi Yan still paid for today's meal. Mao Yuning felt bad. When she came down, she bought two cups of coffee downstairs.

Not knowing what flavor Xi Yan was drinking, she bought two signature flavors and let him choose first.

Xi Yan was not polite and chose an American drink.

The two of them sat in the square for half an hour before returning to the car.

Mao Yuning sent him to the hotel. Thinking that he came from Beizhou City today without any luggage, he drove him to buy clothes.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when I bought big and small bags and arrived at the hotel.

Because there was no reservation in advance, the hotel only had cheap single rooms available.

Mao Yuning was worried that he wouldn't be used to sleeping, so he suggested going to another hotel.

Xi Yan didn't care. He took out his ID card to register and paid the room fee and deposit.

When Mao Yuning heard that the room rate was only two digits, she was a little worried about the living environment. She followed the waiter up and saw her swiping the door lock with the key card and opening the door, and then she realized how bad it was.

This special room is on the first floor of the hotel. The room doesn't even have a window. When the door is opened, a smell comes out.

Xi Yan had a calm look on his face, took the key card from the waiter, opened the door and prepared to go in.

Mao Yuning heard the footsteps of the waiter leaving behind him, and suddenly reached out and took the key card from Xi Yan's hand.

Xi Yan was about to go in and looked at her in surprise.

"Forget it, let's go see another house." After Mao Yuning finished speaking, he opened the door and turned to leave.

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, Mao Yuning had stopped and turned to look at him: "Let's go, let's look for it again."

Xi Yan followed her with her things and saw her going to the front desk to return the deposit with her room card.

There is only this hotel nearby, the others are all small hotels, and the living environment is very poor.

If Mao Yuning had never been to Xi Yankai's suite, he might not feel this way.

Mao Yuning was considering whether to drive to a nearby hotel when she saw Xi Yan holding a gift box and looking at her leisurely.

Mao Yuning was confused, glared at him and said, "What do you think I am doing?"

Xi Yan smiled good-naturedly and said, "I don't choose. You can live anywhere. If you have no place to live, you can sleep on the street."

Mao Yuning: "..."

She recalled that the small hotel she just visited was not as good as her guest room.

"Then I will definitely not let you sleep on the street." Mao Yuning replied dully, pointed to the front and said: "Go and see my house?"

Mao Yuning definitely didn't have the courage to bring a strange man home, but Xi Yan was different from others.

A person who can jump into a lake to save a life in the cold winter, and a person who can reverse the verdict of the deceased after the incident has changed.

Whether it was his career or his conduct as a person, she had no worries.

Xi Yan shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Mao Yuning frowned.

"I can sleep more simply. I don't want to cause trouble to you because of this behavior." Xi Yan shook his head insistently.
