Peach Luck Village-Chapter 327: Self-Deception
Memories surfaced, and Lin Tian began to reflect.
He also recognized Zhao Hui.
He hadn’t changed much since middle school, just taller and more handsome.
Lin Tian asked with concern, "Zhao Hui, how come you’re in Anyuan County?"
"Are you working here?"
Zhao Hui responded, "Sort of! How can I, at a young age, do nothing and live off others?"
"But I came here not because of work. It’s because my girlfriend got into Anyuan County’s system, so I followed her here."
"What about you? When did you come back? How did you end up in Anyuan County?"
Lin Tian suggested, "This isn’t a good place to talk. How about we find a place to eat and chat?"
Zhao Hui readily agreed, "No problem, but I have to go pick up my girlfriend first."
"You wouldn’t mind me bringing my girlfriend along, right?"
His girlfriend was quite pretty.
In a place like Anyuan County, it was rare to run into an old classmate, let alone someone from the same hometown.
Zhao Hui couldn’t help wanting to show off in front of Lin Tian.
He wanted Lin Tian to see his good fortune in love.
Lin Tian expressed, "Of course that’s no problem."
Lin Tian pointed to a nice-looking restaurant ahead and said, "How about we meet there in half an hour, no backing out, okay?"
"Sure!"
Zhao Hui got on his electric scooter and said, "I’ll go first, see you later."
"Alright."
After watching Zhao Hui leave, Lin Tian headed to the restaurant first.
Half an hour later, Zhao Hui arrived punctually with his girlfriend.
It was indeed quite coincidental.
Zhao Hui’s girlfriend turned out to be Ning Yuzhu, whom he had slept with the previous night.
Ning Yuzhu hadn’t expected that her boyfriend would be middle school classmates with Lin Tian.
If Zhao Hui knew that Lin Tian had slept with her, how could he possibly accept it?
Ning Yuzhu cast a pleading look at Lin Tian, hoping that he wouldn’t tell Zhao Hui about last night.
Lin Tian had a reason to tell Zhao Hui.
He was classmates with Zhao Hui and they had a good relationship in middle school.
There wasn’t any wrongdoing toward Zhao Hui on his part.
When he slept with her, he had no idea she was Zhao Hui’s girlfriend.
On the contrary, it was she who, for the sake of her future, sold her body, which was contemptible.
Where there is a first time, there could be a second.
Who can guarantee she won’t cheat on Zhao Hui again for the sake of her career?
Lin Tian truly wanted what was best for Zhao Hui, and the best way would be to expose her true nature.
Not to conceal what happened last night.
Lin Tian wasn’t that despicable.
To sleep with someone one moment and expose their shortcomings the next.
Lin Tian gave Ning Yuzhu a reassuring look.
He wasn’t going to worry about whether Ning Yuzhu would do something to betray Zhao Hui in the future.
It was none of his business.
He didn’t have the capability to interfere.
Even if Lin Tian had such capacity, he would use it on himself, not on Zhao Hui.
First, he would make sure his own woman wouldn’t betray him.
Zhao Hui...
Out of consideration for the friendship they had as classmates, helping Zhao Hui was already doing him a favor.
Zhao Hui showed off, "Lin Tian, what do you think? My girlfriend is pretty, isn’t she!"
"Otherwise, why would I be so unambitious as to follow wherever she goes?
"To the point where I don’t even have a proper job now, only able to do odd jobs here and there."
"If I had stayed in the provincial city, after a few years of hard work, I would also have achieved something and started my own business."
"But I don’t regret it, after all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too."
"Having such a beautiful girlfriend by my side, I’m already content."
"I’ve stopped thinking about a career."
"Having food to eat is good enough."
While he said this, Zhao Hui was actually feeling quite anxious and fearful inside.
Otherwise, why would he have called Ning Yuzhu twice in just one hour last night?
It was because he was worried Ning Yuzhu had had a change of heart and betrayed him behind his back.
But these were things he couldn’t say to Lin Tian.
Otherwise, it would look like he was a failure,
Having neither a career nor peace of mind about his pretty girlfriend, who he constantly feared might cheat on him.
Maybe she had already cheated and made a cuckold of him.
How could he hold his head up in front of Lin Tian?
He had his pride too.
Lin Tian didn’t believe that Zhao Hui foolishly thought, without any capabilities, Ning Yuzhu would stay with him forever.
He knew Zhao Hui was deceiving himself.
But you couldn’t blame Zhao Hui.
He had no choice, not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
And he wasn’t as bold as Lin Tian, who dared to venture out after middle school graduation.
He couldn’t even be reassured by a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend, needing to follow her everywhere.
He had neither the experiences nor the encounters of Lin Tian.
