Chapter 68 Previous Regrets

Xi Weixing didn't know that Yang Hai opposite him was sleeping like a pig. Even if there was wind, rain, lightning and thunder outside, it probably couldn't affect his sleep.

The person who was listening to her was Shen Ruobing.

Shen Ruobing originally wanted to hang up the phone quickly. After all, it is not a good idea to pry into other people's privacy.

But she couldn't help but continue listening out of curiosity.

"I know you wanted me to develop in your company at that time. It must have been a good intention and you wanted to take care of me." Xi Xingyue continued on the phone.

"I was a little embarrassed at the time to accept your care for me."

"You know, I've been a bit proud since I was a kid. I always think I'm better at studying than others. Plus, I think I'm pretty. There are too many people who want to please me. There are too many people who like me, and I'm annoyed."

"That's why I deliberately make myself a little arrogant so that others don't dare to approach me. I have no choice. I just want to protect myself from unnecessary interference that affects my studies."

"I know there are many boys who like me and want to pursue me, but I am not interested in them. I focus on studying."

"I also know that when we were in junior high and high school, you protected me silently. Every time I went to school, you would appear right behind me, and every time I went home from school, you would also follow me right behind me."

"I didn't understand emotions before, so I thought it was normal. After all, we walked the same way to and from school. Whether going to or from school, you had to pass by the entrance of our village."

"But now that I think about it, this seemingly normal thing is actually not normal at all."

"Because there are many of my classmates, and you are not the only one who has to pass by the entrance of our village when going to and from school. Why is it that every time it happens that the person who appears behind me is you, and not another classmate?"

"Now that I think about it, I was so stupid. You must have liked me in your heart, but you never confessed your feelings to me. You just protected me silently in this way."

"I still remember one time, when we were still in the second grade of junior high school! When we were walking halfway home from school, it suddenly started to rain heavily. I didn't bring an umbrella with me at the time, but you happened to bring one."

"But you were so stupid! After you caught up with me, you gave me the umbrella and ran home in the heavy rain."

"In fact, you could have shared an umbrella with me, sent me home first, and then went home yourself."

"This will help me and I won't get wet."

"Later I heard from your classmates in your village that you lied to your parents and said you lost your umbrella."

"In the end, you were soaked all over, and not only were you scolded by your parents, but you were also beaten by your father."

"I was actually very conflicted at the time, and felt very sorry for you."

"Thinking about it now, youth is great. There are so many beautiful memories and so many touching moments."

"When I was in high school, I received many love letters from male classmates. They confessed their love to me and told me how much they liked me. However, I didn't find the one you wrote to me in those love letters."

"My emotions were actually quite complicated at the time. I wanted to receive a love letter from you, but I was also afraid to receive a love letter from you."

"I feel very sorry for not receiving the love letter you wrote to me. If I received the love letter you wrote to me, I don't know what I would do."

"I can't promise you that. It will affect my studies."

"I refuse you! But I don't want to hurt you."

"Maybe when I was in junior high school, I didn't understand how much you loved me, but after entering high school, I actually understood it, but I just didn't dare to face you."

"Because I have long been determined to study at Peking University or Tsinghua University, I want to escape from the countryside. I don't want to be like my mother, who is already an old woman in her 40s, with white hair and wrinkles all over her face. It's scary and despairing just thinking about it."

"So before I went to college, I would never consider dating. Even after I went to college, I would not easily consider the issue of relationships."

"But I didn't expect that you would fail to get into college, and our relationship as classmates would come to an abrupt end."

"Finally, I learned a lot about you from my father."

"I know you went to Linhai City to work. I also know that you were a carpenter apprentice and later became a carpenter master. Your income is quite good."

"Later, I also heard the news that you were married. At that time, I felt a little uncomfortable. I couldn't explain the feeling."

"I thought we would never cross paths again, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in my hometown and come to Linhai City together."

"I didn't expect that you would even drive a luxury car worth millions and have your own investment company. When I heard the news, I was really happy for you."

"I didn't expect you to be divorced, and I didn't expect you to get married again right after being divorced."

"It would be great if you weren't married yet!"

"Perhaps we still have a chance to make up for our previous regrets." "But it doesn't matter. Your marriage is fake anyway. At worst, I can wait for you to get divorced again in three years..."

"Hey! Yang Hai! Are you listening to me?"

At this moment, Yang Hai, who was in his sleep, seemed to react instinctively. He said "hmm".

Shen Ruobing was frightened again and hung up the phone in a hurry, worried that Yang Hai would find out what she was doing. It would be very embarrassing then.

How could Xi Xingyue know what was going on with Yang Hai over the phone?
Seeing that the call was hung up, Xi Xingyue instinctively wanted to replay it.

But when I thought about what I had just said on the phone, I started to blush again. I felt embarrassed and didn't have the courage to call back.

Many times, people's courage is just a momentary impulse, and after the impulse, it is difficult to muster up the courage again.

Yang Hai was indeed about to wake up at this time, because people's mouths tend to be dry after drinking, and he was also woken up by the urge to urinate.

Less than two minutes after Shen Ruobing hung up the phone, Yang Hai opened his eyes, got out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom to flush the toilet.

After coming back from draining the water, I saw the honey water on the bedside table. Without thinking twice, I picked up the cup and drank it all.

After drinking it, I felt much better.

Seeing Shen Ruobing looking at him, Yang Hai smiled awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Why are we staying at your parents' house again today? Is your mother not forcing us to drink nutritious soup again?"

"What was wrong with you yesterday? Why did you drag my dad to drink with you, and got so drunk?" Shen Ruobing glared at Yang Hai angrily.

"What do you mean I dragged your father to drink? Have you ever thought about another possibility, that your father forced me to drink with him." Yang Hai asked back.

"Even if he forces you to drink with him, you don't have to get drunk, right?" Shen Ruobing said with a lack of confidence.

"No! Your father insisted on drinking! I can't stop him from drinking, right? Even if I don't let him drink, do you think he will listen to me?" Yang Hai said with a wry smile.

"Your father has already drunk, how can I not drink with him? If your father is drunk and I am not drunk yet, will you say that I am bullying your father? I got him drunk on purpose."

"Okay! Didn't I just say a few words to you? Do you have to give me so many reasons?" Shen Ruobing said helplessly.

"But if my dad forces you to drink next time, you must not get drunk again."

"Next time I will definitely not go out drinking with your dad. If we want to drink, we should drink at home! With your mom watching him at home, he doesn't dare to get drunk or drink too much." Yang Hai nodded and said.

"If he drinks outside, I can't persuade him, and I dare not persuade him."

"Why? You advised him not to drink too much? What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Ruobing asked curiously.

"Whenever I advised your father, he said that I was afraid of my wife. How could I be considered a real man?" Yang Hai said, spreading his hands.

"How can I persuade him? I must be a man! You should know this. I can't stop being a man just because I persuaded him!"

"Bad guy! You are a hooligan! You say nonsense." Shen Ruobing said with a blushing face.

Thinking of Yang Hai's fighting ability in that aspect, Shen Ruobing thought, if even you are not a macho, then what kind of man is called a macho?

Even though Shen Ruobing has never experienced other men, it doesn't mean that she hasn't heard about it from others or read about it in books!

I heard that many men can only last for a few minutes, but Yang Hai can't stop for dozens of minutes every time.

"How can this be called hooliganism? Go and ask around and you'll find which man would admit that he's not a big man but a little man." Yang Hai said solemnly.

"This is about a man's face and dignity."

"I can't throw away my dignity as a man just to stop your father from drinking!"

"What face and dignity do you want in front of your father-in-law? He is your elder, just listen to what he says." Shen Ruobing said with a smile.

"Even if you don't like what he said, why don't you just pretend you didn't hear it? Why bother with an elder?"

"You were trying to save your man's dignity and face, but you both got drunk and talked nonsense."

"Will that give us face? Will that give us dignity?"

"Well...yesterday, after your father and I got drunk, we didn't do anything shocking, so let's just say something shocking." Yang Hai asked a little embarrassed and guilty.
