Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Why Are You Still Being So Picky?

Huo Jingrui showed a look of relief, reaching out to ruffle his sister’s hair: ”That’s right, there are many good men out there. Fourth Brother will introduce someone good to you.”

What they didn’t know was that someone was heading over this way.

Lu Licheng had planned to come over a few days ago, but due to accepting a sudden task during his vacation, he had to postpone.

Carrying his luggage, he got off the train, asked the duty booth at the train station for the bus location, and hurriedly ran towards the nearby bus station. People had told him the last bus to Zeyang County would leave in half an hour.

When he arrived at the ticketing office at the station, he just caught it: ”Comrade, one ticket to Zeyang County.”

The female comrade took the money and quickly handed over the ticket and change: ”Run a few steps, the bus is about to depart.”

Lu Licheng took the money and ticket but hadn’t left the ticketing office when he heard the sound of a bus engine starting, followed by a woman’s voice: ”Zeyang County, anyone going to Zeyang County, get on the bus quickly.”

Lu Licheng hurriedly waved his hand: ”Wait.”

The bus that had just started came to a stop again, and as soon as he got on and hadn’t even sat down, the bus slowly began to move out again. The ticket seller returned to her seat and continued to shout out the window: ”Zeyang County, anyone going?”

Since young, he liked Huo Jiayuan, but Huo Jiayuan always treated him as a brother. Before he could express his feelings, the little girl already had someone in mind.

He thought they wouldn’t have any more interactions, especially since he knew about her and Du Shujian. He couldn’t bring himself to intervene in someone else’s relationship.

He rarely returned to the compound these years but always kept an eye on the little girl’s situation. When he heard Du Shujian had betrayed her, he felt the urge to beat up that pretty boy.

Cooled down, he thought about how he indeed should teach him a lesson, but he had Du Shujian to thank for his indecision. He must seize this opportunity; one regret was enough, and this time he couldn’t afford to lose the little girl again.

So as soon as the temporary task was completed and the report submitted, he immediately applied to continue his vacation with the leader.

By the time he reached the county town, it was already dark.

On the bus, he asked around and learned there’s a guesthouse outside the machinery factory, and the bus route conveniently passes by it.

He planned to rest for the night and look for people early the next morning.

Meanwhile, Huo Jiayuan was still chatting with her Fourth Brother: ”Fourth Brother, these leather shoes aren’t cheap, are they?”

Huo Jingrui nodded gently: ”Consider it the reward for keeping Fourth Sister-in-law company for a while.”

Huo Jiayuan pouted: ”You’ve truly forgotten your sister now that you have a wife. If not for sister-in-law’s words, I doubt I’d have gotten these shoes.”

Huo Jingrui was amused by his sister’s words: ”Even if it was sister-in-law’s suggestion, wasn’t it me who bought them for you? Why are you still complaining?”

Huo Jiayuan ’hmphed’: ”Who told you not to agree to let me stay here.”

Huo Jingrui was surprised the girl still remembered: ”You have to go back eventually, can’t keep hiding here, and besides, Mom mentioned in her letter that rumors are spreading about the resumption of exams, you need to go back and prepare.”

Actually, Huo Jingrui thought his sister was overly attached to Yunyi. Once they were married, she couldn’t stay, or she’d become a nuisance.

This time, Huo Jiayuan said nothing more.

She understood she couldn’t keep hiding like this, and it was Du Shujian who was wrong. Why should she hide from him? Since there’ll be no connection in the future, living her own life well is what truly matters.
