The group stayed in the village for a few days, and Pei Wang couldn't stay idle every day.
They'd either catch some lobsters today or drag everyone out to catch fish tomorrow.
Anyway, he doesn't do anything important, and his mother often nags him at home.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi."
Pei Zhi put down her book: "What are you doing?"
After breakfast, Jiang Qingyuan and Pei Zhi read books together in the room.
Pei Wang greeted Jiang Qingyuan, "Cuihong wants you to go out and play."
"Cuihong, didn't she marry someone from the next village?"
"She's back and wants you to go to her house and chat with her for a while."
Pei Zhi found it a bit strange, "Why didn't she just come to my house directly?"
Pei Wang was getting impatient and said, "I've delivered the message. Go if you want, or don't."
"Why are you so angry?"
Pei Zhi put down her book, greeted Jiang Qingyuan, and then followed Pei Wang out.
"Why are you following me? I know where Cuihong's house is."
"Oh dear, I want to go over there too."
Pei Zhi rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Pei Wang, and quickened her pace.
Pei Wang followed closely behind Pei Zhi. After hesitating for a moment, he still grabbed Pei Zhi.
"Sister, I'm so sorry."
Pei Zhi crossed her arms; she knew then that Pei Wang was up to something.
Pei Wang's behavior was very strange from the moment he came to see her.
"Du Lei is back. He told me to call you out."
After Pei Wang finished speaking, he immediately covered his head with his hands, afraid that Pei Zhi would give him a large sum of money.
After a while, Pei Zhi's hand still didn't fall. Pei Wang lowered his hand and secretly observed Pei Zhi's reaction.
Pei Zhi's expression remained calm, and she didn't seem angry.
"I can't do anything about it. Du Lei has taken good care of me before. Anyway, you'll have to meet sooner or later."
"So, you tricked me into coming out?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Pei Wang also had a change of heart and didn't trick Pei Zhi into going to their destination.
Halfway there, Pei Wang couldn't handle it anymore and was treated to all the meals.
"Alright, lead the way."
"Huh?" Pei Wang stared, somewhat taken aback. "You're really planning to see him?"
Pei Wang thought that if Pei Zhi knew she was going to see Du Lei, she would definitely leave without looking back.
Pei Zhi countered, "Why shouldn't I go see him?"
Pei Wang choked up a little, "You still dare to see him?"
"You're hilarious. If you don't lead the way, I'm going back."
Pei Wang was puzzled. He was being funny, but what was so funny about him?
Pei Wang dared not say anything more and obediently led the way for Pei Zhi.
Secretly, Pei Wang kept observing Pei Zhi's expression.
Pei Zhi was not nervous at all; she remained calm and composed.
Pei Wang could only sigh, "My sister is really amazing."
When Du Lei approached him today, Pei Wang was incredibly guilty.
The agreed-upon place was at the dam, a quiet spot where few people usually come, perfect for chatting.
"I've brought the person over to you."
No one paid him any attention. Pei Wang watched as Du Lei and Pei Zhi locked eyes.
Pei Wang silently walked to a place where he could not hear their conversation, but could still see them.
Pei Wang was worried that if they started arguing, what if Du Lei got physical?
From Pei Wang's perspective, it was Pei Zhi who cheated on Du Lei and then married someone else.
Now Du Lei has come knocking on Pei Zhi's door to settle accounts.
Pei Zhi spoke first: "When did you get back?"
"This morning."
"How many days off do you want to come back?"
Du Lei replied, "Three days."
"Good."
The two fell silent; after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was inevitable that they felt a little awkward.
Du Lei asked directly, "Why did you suddenly get married?"
Pei Zhi replied quite confidently, "Why can't we get married?"
"You clearly told me..."
Pei Zhi's eyes flashed with impatience: "Du Lei, you should know that when you decided to go to the army, I told you that I wouldn't wait for you."
When Du Lei went to the army, Pei Zhi tried to persuade him to stay.
Pei Zhi did not want to look for another target at that time.
"But later, the two of us weren't..."
Du Lei certainly remembered what Pei Zhi had said.
When he came back for the New Year, weren't he and Pei Zhi still doing that in his room?
Given all this, Du Lei assumed that Pei Zhi was already his fiancée.
Du Lei never expected that upon returning, he would hear that Pei Zhi had gotten married.
Pei Zhi said coldly, "We slept together, but that doesn't mean anything."
Pei Zhi's words left Du Lei stunned.
Du Lei sensed something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
If that doesn't mean anything, then what would it mean?
"But I remember you talking to me about our future life."
Du Lei still remembers that when they were together, Pei Zhi had talked about what they would do after they got married.
"I married a college student."
Du Lei paused slightly, as if he had finally understood why Pei Zhi had suddenly gotten married.
Du Lei subconsciously explained, "I joined the army because I heard that if you perform well in the army after a few years, you can get into a military academy."
"As a result, a year after I joined the army, the college entrance examination was opened up, and it was too late for me to regret it."
Pei Zhi had told Du Lei a long time ago that she wanted to marry a college student.
Du Lei understood Pei Zhi's meaning. Du Lei went to the army because he wanted to settle down with Pei Zhi as soon as possible.
Who knew that fate would play such a cruel trick? He joined the army, and then the college entrance examination was reinstated.
Du Lei was disappointed for a long time. Later, when he returned for the New Year, Pei Zhi had a relationship with him again, which reassured him.
