Hearing his cousin's words, Liu Erzhu couldn't help but sigh:
"Er Gouzi, I've been reading some books lately. And you know what? Reading really does make you wiser and teaches you a lot of lessons, it's true!"
"I once saw a book of Tang poetry, and there was a line in it that I thought made a lot of sense: 'Having seen the vast ocean, other waters are nothing; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing...' "
"I've seen it all before. After meeting her, I had no interest in anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi couldn't help but reply:
"Brother Zhu, don't underestimate me just because I'm not well-educated. I know this poem too!"
"To have seen the ocean, two people must have been together and shared a relationship before it can be called having seen the ocean!"
"You and Luo, the educated youth, haven't even exchanged more than a few words, and it hasn't even gotten to this point yet..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erzhu's face darkened, and he slapped Er Gouzi.
"Are you deliberately trying to make fun of me? I'm talking about that state of mind, you know what that means?"
"Forget it, what's the point of talking to someone like you who doesn't read books? It's a complete waste of breath, like casting pearls before swine!"
Liu Ergou wasn't angry, and chuckled:
"Brother Zhu, I didn't expect you to be such a romantic. Actually, you really don't need to hang yourself on one tree."
"I advise you to find another girl. To tell you the truth, a wife is quite delicious."
"I'm engaged to Xiao Cui, you have no idea! That girl has such a sweet tongue!"
"You should try getting to know other girls. Once you've experienced the pleasures of other girls, you won't be so infatuated with Luo Zhiqing."
Upon hearing Liu Ergou's words, Liu Erzhu couldn't help but want to kick him.
Ever since this guy got engaged to Xiao Cui from the village, he's been showing off in front of him all the time.
If Liu Erzhu were from the future, he would know that this is the legendary display of affection.
Er Gouzi satisfied his vanity, and seeing his brother Zhuzi looking depressed, his vanity swelled even more.
He felt even more strongly that his decision not to continue pinning his hopes on Luo Zhiqing, but instead to get engaged to a girl, was absolutely the right one.
Luo Zhiqing was indeed wonderful; she was as beautiful as a fairy, skilled in martial arts, strong in combat, knowledgeable, and a great writer.
But no matter how good someone is, he can only see them but not touch them. It's important to have self-awareness and be more down-to-earth.
Look at Brother Zhu, he's clearly starting to seem a bit mentally impaired.
At this moment, Liu Erzhu was indeed even more frustrated, but he was helpless.
Thinking of Luo Zixi's pretty face, he always felt a sense of loss.
A gut feeling told him that Luo Zixi probably wouldn't stay in this village for much longer.
Despite Luo Zixi's nice words, she didn't want to leave even though everyone else had left.
But she can leave whenever she wants.
Because of her past achievements, she only needed to submit a report to the commune or county and she could return to the city immediately.
The last time she did such a great job, and many people here are indebted to Luo Zixi.
Therefore, it would be quite easy for any of these people with connections and abilities to introduce Luo Zixi to a job back in the capital.
What's more, Luo Zixi has a powerful uncle who is always looking forward to recognizing his niece.
No one expected that if Luo Zixi wanted to leave, she wouldn't even need to submit a report.
At this point, the brothers Liu Erzhu and Liu Ergou tacitly kept silent on the topic of Luo Zhiqing.
Showing off your love is fun, but Liu Ergou also knows the saying that showing off your love leads to a quick demise. If he continues like this, his brother Zhuzi might just kill him first.
The two quickly changed the subject, talking about the enemy agents they had talked about before, and also figuring out how to explain the whole story to Luo Zixi.
The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the Bai family's old residence, gently knocking on Luo Zixi's courtyard gate.
