Zhao Lei lay down in frustration.
Lu Xiuyun also realized that her subconscious reaction just now was too hurtful.
She quickly explained: "Well, I'm sorry, Comrade Zhao, I didn't mean that you are older."
"No, I mean, I haven't heard of anyone at your age who is not married yet..."
"Uh...no..."
Lu Xiuyun felt that she could not explain clearly.
No matter how you explain it, it sounds like you are despising someone for being older?
Lu Xiuyun disliked her stupid mouth.
She lowered her head feebly, feeling very guilty.
Although Zhao Lei was frustrated, he couldn't bear to see the little girl blame herself so much. Besides, it was also true that he was older.
Just because you can't accept it, you can't avoid talking about it.
Just take this moment to tell her about your situation?
Zhao Lei coughed and sat up.
"Actually, I am going back this time to get married."
"Huh? Congratulations, Comrade Zhao."
Lu Xiuyun became happy easily.
The little mouth said congratulations sweetly.
But after she finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Lei's face was serious and did not look very happy. She blinked: "Did something happen?"
"It's okay, but the other party may be like you, Comrade Xiao Lu, and think that I am getting along with the educated youth from the village because I am older."
"Uh...did she betray you?"
"It's not betrayal." Zhao Lei raised his head with a relieved smile on his face. Looking at the serious-looking girl opposite him, the expression on his face became a little softer.
"It's just a verbal agreement between the two families. We haven't held the wedding banquet yet, and we haven't received the certificate yet. She doesn't belong to me, and I don't belong to her, so there's no betrayal."
It can only be said that Xu Mengtian made a choice.
As for this choice, it is naturally to choose that educated youth and give up on yourself.
This isn't really a betrayal.
Seriously speaking, this must be considered lucky for him.
Fortunately, Xu Mengtian did such a thing before getting married and not after getting married.
If Xu Mengtian pretended to marry him, but later got together with an educated youth, this would be called true betrayal.
He won't tolerate this happening either.
It should be said that a man cannot bear it.
Lu Xiuyun nodded as she listened.
I didn’t expect Comrade Zhao to have such a sad emotional experience?
"Then you must be very sad, right Comrade Zhao?"
Zhao Lei: "No."
"Ah?" Lu Xiuyun was confused: "The person you are going to marry regrets the engagement, aren't you sad?"
"Not sad."
Zhao Lei is definitely not sad.
But he couldn't tell Lu Xiuyun that he was very lucky.
He thought for a moment and said, "This is Comrade Xu's choice. I respect her and wish her the best."
"Well, you are indeed a good person."
Lu Xiuyun sent another good guy card to Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei looked at Lu Xiuyun's palm-sized face, and his lips curved into a slight smile.
"Comrade Xu and I have no connection."
But now, he already knows who is his destiny.
………
The train clanked and clanked all the way until late at night before arriving at the final stop, Dongshi.
Zhao Lei packed his things in advance, carried his backpack, and asked Lu Xiuyun to get out of the car.
There were a lot of passengers at the terminal. Lu Xiuyun and the others were fine when they got off the bus, but when they went outside to exit the station, a bunch of people crowded in.
She was almost pushed away.
"careful."
A big hand reached out, held her arm, and led her towards him. At the same time, he raised his head and glanced at the man who had just deliberately tried to squeeze Lu Xiuyun away.
The man suddenly felt guilty when he was stared at by Zhao Lei.
Not to mention that Zhao Lei was still wearing a military uniform.
That serious military uniform is different from the imitation models that are all over the street. This is a serious military uniform.
Real people in the military.
The man who wanted to take advantage of Lu Xiuyun did not dare to pluck the tiger's hair. He could only touch the tip of its nose and walked away in despair.
Lu Xiuyun didn't know that someone was bad enough to deliberately crowd her out.
But because of her fear of human traffickers, she followed Zhao Lei closely after being pulled back.
She was afraid of losing it.
If it were lost again, I don’t know if I would be so lucky to be found and rescued.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyun became more determined to go to the island.
She wanted to hide in the family compound on the island, just stay there and not go anywhere, so that she wouldn't be afraid of meeting traffickers and bad guys...
"Are you OK?"
After leaving the train station and arriving at a room with fewer people, Zhao Lei lowered his eyes and asked the girl who had been silent.
Lu Xiuyun nodded.
"I'm fine, Comrade Zhao."
"Thank you."
When she speaks, she never forgets to thank or apologize.
Zhao Lei deliberately told her not to be so polite, but Lu Xiuyun said that etiquette cannot be discarded.
Well... He didn't mean to cripple Lu Xiuyun, he just felt that he could be less polite to him.
The two of them went to a nearby guest house together, took out their letters of introduction, and booked two rooms.
Two rooms next to each other.
Zhao Lei first went to Lu Xiuyun's room and checked it carefully to make sure there was no problem before going out and going back to the room next door.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Lu Xiuyun to call out immediately if anything happened.
The current house is not soundproofed. In the guest house, let alone shouting for help, even the sound of the couple next door doing business can be heard very clearly in another room.
No, Zhao Lei faced such a situation after returning from Lu Xiuyun's room.
In the room to his left, the woman's exaggerated scream made him very disgusted and disgusted.
And the man kept talking very obscenely, and kept asking the woman if he was awesome...
Zhao Lei wanted to say that the woman's voice sounded like she was pretending. This man still had the nerve to ask?
But the people next door couldn't hear his inner voice at all. Not only did they not stop, but they kept mumbling louder and louder.
Zhao Lei......
Unable to bear it anymore, he raised his hand and punched the wall.
"Be quiet, there's someone sleeping next door."
Lu Xiuyun, who was in another room, was just about to go to bed when she touched the iron frame bed and made a squeaking sound. The next second she heard the serious voice of Zhao Lei next door.
Lu Xiuyun quickly held her breath and climbed onto the bed quietly, not daring to make any sound during the whole process.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she lay under the quilt and covered herself with the quilt.
I shouldn't have disturbed Comrade Zhao's sleep, right?
She thought she wasn't intruding, but in fact, she was.
Zhao Lei, who was separated by a wall, finally closed his eyes and lay down after scolding the neighbor.
But this sleep is better than not sleeping at all.
Because he had a very beastly dream. In the dream, the innocent little girl was bullied by him until she cried and her eyes turned red. He also pestered her endlessly to ask if he was strong...
Zhao Lei woke up from his dream, glanced down at his wet trousers, and couldn't help but cursed a beast in a low voice.
Get out of bed and wash your underwear...
