Lin Xiaoxiao walked along the river for a while but couldn't find Lin Rui and Naibao. She was planning to go back, ride her bike home, and look for them somewhere farther away when she heard Lin Rui's voice coming from the slope next to her.

"Xiaoxiao."

"Second brother." Lin Xiaoxiao hurried over and asked, "How did you get here from over there?"

"There aren't many snails here, so I went to the south pond to collect some." Lin Rui hurriedly explained a few words, then pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to look at her. "Xiaoxiao, did Auntie bully you again? Did she hit you? Are you hurt?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked very proud. "Second brother, I'm fine. I've already dealt with Auntie. I guess she'll have to stay in bed for the next period of time and won't be able to make trouble."

Qin Fang has a good brain and can handle it easily.

Lin Rui's heart was relieved, but he was still angry. "Auntie is really getting more and more outrageous. When big brother comes back, we will teach her a lesson."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, and then her eyes fell on his bare feet, "Where are your shoes?"

Lin Rui moved his feet and smiled foolishly, "I forgot to wear it."

When he heard that Lin Xiaoxiao was bullied, how could he care about putting on his shoes?

"Second brother, no matter how urgent it is, you can't go without shoes."

The ground is full of potholes and small stones. Just thinking about how painful it is to run on it makes Lin Xiaoxiao feel a little distressed.

"Second brother, next time you hear any news, you have to take care of yourself first. If a fight really breaks out, you'll get hurt before you even start fighting with anyone."

Lin Rui flexed his arm muscles and said confidently, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, even if I'm injured, I can still protect you."

"Brother, I asked Naibao to call you here, not to fight, but to encourage you. Now we live in a civilized society ruled by law. Brute force won't solve problems, it will only make things worse."

In the book, Lin Rui went to jail because he was too impulsive and beat someone up. She couldn't let him make the same mistake again.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you speak like Xihua now?" Speaking of Zhao Xihua, Lin Rui felt a pang in his heart and his mood suddenly became worse.

"If he told you this, it means he's still a qualified friend."

"What's qualified? If he really treats me as a friend, how could he think of me like that?" Lin Rui muttered again, feeling very aggrieved. "According to what he said, he was insulting my dignity."

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Second brother, if you really want to reconcile with Zhao Xihua, when he comes to you, just give him a way out. Stop being so hypocritical."

Zhao Xihua is pretty good in everything except finding a wife.

"Let's talk about it after I've calmed down!" If Zhao Xihua was not sincere, he would definitely not forgive her.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that Lin Rui's words proved that he had forgiven Zhao Xihua in his heart, but he was just too embarrassed to say it for the sake of face.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's the milk bag?"

"He's looking at the snails over there." Lin Rui was afraid that the snails would be stolen, and since Naibao couldn't run as fast as him, he didn't let him come back with him.

"Brother, next time, don't just throw the milk bag outside. Snails are worth very little. What will you do if you lose the milk bag?"

In the book, Naibao was kidnapped and sold. Now everything has changed. If someone takes advantage of Naibao by mistake and sells him, it will be too late to regret.

Lin Rui got anxious when he heard this, "I'll go find Naibao."
