Ji Haoran saw the expression on his political commissar’s face—a look that clearly said, "What are you up to, kid? If you don't explain yourself clearly, see how I deal with you"—so he hurried to speak:
"I like a girl. We grew up together, but she always insists on treating me like a brother. My younger sister suggested I find a young woman who is already married, happily so, and whose husband is an outstanding man, to put on a bit of a performance in front of the girl I like."
"If she sees me treating another young woman as well as I treat her and doesn't get angry, then I’ll know I need to work a few more years. But if she gets jealous, then I can get married by next year."
