Lin Rui nodded, "I remember, what does this have to do with drinking that day?"
Zhao Xihua sighed and said, "I drank a little too much that day. Lin Nuo was afraid that the village dogs would bite me, so he sent me to the village entrance..."
Before he could finish, Lin Rui interrupted him as if he had suddenly realized something, "You mean, that night, you and Lin Nuo, the two of you..."
He couldn't continue with the next words and made a very obscene gesture with his hands.
Zhao Xihua's face changed. "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"
Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously, "Then what responsibility do you have for her?"
He thought Zhao Xihua and Lin Nuo had slept together.
Zhao Xihua gritted his teeth and said, "I kissed her."
"What?" Lin Rui's heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again. He glared at Zhao Xihua angrily, "You said you didn't do anything to her, but you kissed her."
In Lin Rui's mind, doing such a thing before getting married is just being a hooligan. He always wanted to kiss Zhang Xiaojuan, but it was just a thought. He always restrained himself. Before getting married, the most he did was hold hands with Zhang Xiaojuan.
Seeing Lin Rui so surprised, Zhao Xihua felt even more annoyed. He parked his bicycle on the side of the road, squatted down with some regret, and explained with his head in his hands.
"I was really drunk that day. I didn't have any feelings for her at first. I just treated her as a little sister."
If he had known that something like that would happen that day, he would not have drunk so much, nor would he have let Lin Nuo send him to the village entrance, let alone stayed there.
He should just go home.
"What's the point of saying this now?" Lin Rui was so angry that his chest felt tight. "Did Lin Nuo force you to take responsibility for her?"
Although kissing is considered as hooliganism, as long as you don't tell anyone, it's not a big deal, and you don't necessarily have to marry her or anything like that.
"No." Zhao Xihua shook his head. "Don't push the blame on Lin Nuo. I was wrong. I'm the one who took responsibility."
"Then you take responsibility. You still say you have nothing to do with Lin Nuo?" Lin Rui was furious and scolded him: "According to Xiaoxiao's words, you are scum."
"What scum?"
Zhao Xihua looked confused.
"Scum."
Lin Rui said in a serious tone.
Zhao Xihua's face turned pale. "I promised to take responsibility and also promised to take her to the city. How can I be called a scumbag? I don't want to make it public now because we're not engaged yet. I'm afraid it will be bad for Lin Nuo's reputation if it gets out. Besides..."
He paused, "What if Lin Nuo meets someone he likes in the city?"
Lin Rui snorted, "Unless she can meet a big boss like Brother Xiao, otherwise, she won't like anyone else."
Zhao Xihua frowned, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
He actually hoped that Lin Nuo would meet someone like that, so that he would not feel guilty and would not be a scumbag as Lin Rui said.
Lin Rui's anger gradually subsided at this moment. He looked at Zhao Xihua with dissatisfaction and muttered, "Fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn't like you."
Zhao Xihua felt upset and his face became even uglier.
"I'll take care of this, don't talk nonsense."
"Who can I talk nonsense to?" Lin Rui snorted.
Just as Zhao Xihua was about to respond, he heard him say, "At most, I'll talk to Xiaoxiao and Big Brother."
Zhao Xihua choked and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Why did he tell Lin Rui about this just now? This was something he least wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to know.
