"I don't look down on you businessmen, I just don't want to do it myself," Zhao Xihua explained.
"You just look down on me."
Lin Rui muttered softly.
Zhao Xihua pretended not to hear and didn't respond. He said, "Lin Nuo and I should be getting married soon. Our families have agreed that we won't have an engagement and will just hold the wedding. If you have time, come over for dinner."
Zhao Xihua finally knew everything about Lin Rui and Lin Nuo's family affairs, so he understood if Lin Rui didn't want to come when he and Lin Nuo got married.
Lin Rui said: "When you get married, even if I don't have time, I will make time to come out."
Although he has a bad relationship with Lin Nuo and is almost on the verge of becoming enemies with Lin Nuo's family, Zhao Xihua is his best friend and he will definitely come to Zhao Xihua's wedding.
"Thank you, your words are enough."
Zhao Xihua patted Lin Rui's shoulder with some emotion.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhao Xihua said, "It's late, you should go back! Xiaoxiao will be worried if you stay here too long."
Because there are not many entertainment programs, the villagers go to bed early.
So unless there is something very important, people will not run around at night. There is no light outside and it is pitch black. The timid ones don’t even dare to leave the village.
"Um."
Lin Rui was also afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Feng would worry, so he nodded and was about to leave, but he couldn't control himself and asked a question.
"Xihua, do you regret not listening to me?"
If I had listened to him before and never gotten close to Lin Nuo, this would not have happened.
regret?
How can you not regret it?
Marrying Lin Nuo is not a big deal. Although he is unwilling, it doesn't matter. After all, Lin Nuo is not too bad, and he is not at a great disadvantage.
But now that it affects his future, it’s a different story.
But what's the point of regretting it? What can be changed?
Zhao Xihua took a deep breath and said, "There's no point in talking about that now. I'll go to your village tomorrow."
Now that the decision has been made, there's no point in delaying it any longer. The sooner they get married, the sooner everyone can accept the fact, the sooner the storm will pass, and he can go back to work sooner.
“…”
Seeing that he really didn't want to talk about this anymore, Lin Rui didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye to him and returned to Linjia Village.
On the way back, Lin Rui seemed to hear some movement coming from the grove next to him. He stopped and looked in that direction, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see anything clearly.
He thought it was a wild boar or something in the woods, so he didn't think much about it and was about to leave when he heard some noise coming from the woods again, which sounded a bit like a woman's cry for help.
But the sound was very faint, and Lin Rui was not sure if he had heard it wrong.
After all, whose girl would be here so late at night?
Although he thought so, he hesitated for a moment and decided to go into the woods to take a look. He walked a little into the woods, but saw nothing and his clothes were torn by the branches.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
Lin Rui called out twice, but there was no response.
Suddenly, Lin Rui remembered the ghost stories often told by the older generation, which contained similar scenes. Although Lin Rui was not a timid person, he felt a little creepy at this moment.
Not daring to go any further, he turned around and walked out of the grove without looking back, heading towards Linjia Village.
