Lu Xi felt sorry for Zhuang Yi, especially when she saw Zhuang Yi say such a bitter sentence so calmly, she felt even more heartbroken.

Lu Xi asked softly: "Yiyi, do you think this is worth it?"

Zhuang Yi nodded and even laughed heartlessly, "It's worth it. My boyfriend is really, really good. Of course he deserves my love."

Lu Xi disagreed, "But no matter how good he is, he likes someone else in his heart. And what I'm asking is not whether your idol is worthy of your love, but whether it's worth wasting your youth on someone who will never love you."

"Xixi, he likes someone else, silently. He knows that the other person's heart is not with him, but he doesn't bother her. He just pays attention to her silently. So I'm not the only one who suffers, he suffers too."

Lu Xi was stunned after hearing this, a little unbelievable, "The person he likes also likes someone else?"

Zhuang Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes. But this is the reality. How can there be so many two-way relationships? In most people's relationships, the one I like doesn't like me, and the one who likes me I don't like. So it's really hard to meet someone I like who also likes me. We should cherish it."

Lu Xi was stunned.

She couldn't help but think of herself and Fu Nanzhou. She liked Fu Nanzhou before, but Fu Nanzhou couldn't forget Gao Ning. This was probably the reality that Zhuang Yi was talking about.

No, no, what about Zhuang Yi? Why did you think of me?

"Then how long will you like it?"

Zhuang Yi thought about it and said in a very light tone, "Maybe he finally got the girl he likes to respond to him."

Lu Xi's heart tightened, "Why can't it be that he finally forgets about that girl, and you finally wait for him?"

"That's impossible. I once used someone else's WeChat to ask him if it was possible that he liked me, and he said, absolutely not, and that he only treated me as a sister."

It is destined to be fruitless.

Lu Xi had always thought that Zhuang Yi's secret crush on her male god might just be a joke. After all, Zhuang Yi was lively, outgoing, and carefree. She always spoke of her secret crush in a relaxed tone, so she had thought that maybe this so-called male god was just made up by Zhuang Yi.

But the result is exactly the opposite.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's change our equipment and go dig moon shells." Zhuang Yi said in a relaxed tone, so Lu Xi forced himself not to think about these bad things.

The two of them changed into wading pants so that they would not get wet even if half of their bodies were in the sea. Then each of them carried a small white bucket and stepped on the mud and sand with a shovel and a rake.

Because they were going to the beach at night, Zhuang Yi also prepared a searchlight to wear on his head. At first glance, he thought they were going to the mines.

"There are a lot of moon shells here. They are very beautiful. Let's dig some more and roast them."

"How do we find them?" Lu Xi became interested. This was her first time going to the beach.

Zhuang Yi gave her a shovel, pointed to the small hole on the beach and said, "Do you see this? They are all breathing holes. Just dig down along the holes and you will definitely find them."

Zhuang Yi was demonstrating as he spoke, and as he squatted on the beach he forgot that his finger was pinched by a crab.

Lu Xi also followed suit, and after a few shovelfuls, she really dug up a big moon shell. She rinsed it in sea water and found the crescent-colored shell was particularly beautiful.

Bang.

Zhuang Yi threw the moon shells into the bucket and smiled slyly: "Let's compete to see who can dig the most. If I win, you have to pay me, 10,000 yuan for one moon shell."

Lu Xi was so angry that she laughed, "Ten thousand? You are blackmailing me."

"Yes, it's blackmail. You are still my aunt-in-law, so just decide whether you will give it to me or not." Zhuang Yi used the word "currently" because she knew her best friend was planning to divorce.

She didn't try to reconcile, but she also didn't encourage her best friend to divorce.

Lu Xi smiled and rolled her eyes at Zhuang Yi, "Maybe I will win."

Zhuang Yi stuck out her tongue provocatively, "You wish, I will definitely win."

The two little girls started to get excited, digging with all their might, as if they were determined to win.

Lu Xi has a special liking for shells, and her eyes brightened when she saw the shells she had dug out.

Fu Nanzhou is now wearing a sports suit, a white T-shirt and dark gray sports pants.

Seeing his wife and niece digging with great interest, he also walked over with interest, squatted in front of Lu Xi, and said with a low smile: "You seem to be digging with great interest. Is it fun?"

Lu Xi nodded, "I like shells."

Fu Nanzhou liked to chat with her, "Why do you like shells? They are beautiful?"

Lu Xi slowed down her movements, "My parents divorced a few days before my sixth birthday, and after completing the formalities they abandoned me and my sister. My dad sold the house and didn't even leave us a place to live.

"My sister and I lived with my eldest aunt at first, but my eldest uncle didn't welcome us at all and certainly wouldn't celebrate my birthday.

“I was feeling really sad that day, so my sister picked up a really beautiful shell, drilled a hole in it, and strung a string around it to make a necklace for me.

"My sister said she was poor and couldn't afford to buy me a gift, so she would buy me a gold necklace when she earned money. At that time, I thought the shell was the most beautiful necklace. Unfortunately, the shell is no longer there. It was accidentally stepped on and broken by my second aunt when we lived at her house."

When Fu Nanzhou listened, he felt as if his heart was squeezed hard by something and it hurt a lot.

He knew that Lu Xi had an unfortunate childhood, but he didn't expect it to be worse than he imagined.

This is probably why she wants to stay away from me. Living in peace has exhausted her energy. How can a girl without a family background dare to have the courage to marry into a wealthy family and face those struggles?

It’s not that Lu Xi is not brave enough, it’s that she doesn’t have the confidence.

The more Fu Nanzhou thought about it, the more distressed he felt. He wanted to be her support, even though they were not husband and wife.

"I'll dig with you and dig more." Fu Nanzhou forced a smile.

"Okay."

Lu Xi agreed with a smile, and was completely immersed in the fun of digging.

Fu Nanzhou originally just wanted to accompany his wife, but seeing the two girls working so hard for the competition aroused his desire to win, and his hands moved faster and faster.

When Zhuang Yi saw his uncle trying to help him, he turned around and shouted angrily, "Brother Jiang, come quickly! My uncle is bullying me, you have to help me."

Jiang Yizhou couldn't help laughing and had to help with the tools.

When Pei Shaoqing saw it, he immediately ran over to join in the fun, and he and Ji Ran joined Lu Xi's team and Zhuang Yi's team respectively.

Ji Rou sneaked out of the tent and curled her lips, "What's there to dig? If you want to eat it, just ask someone to buy it and send it over?"

She had actually been there all the time, but she had a quarrel with Lu Xi before, and she also felt embarrassed because she had instigated Cao Xiuqin to pretend to jump off the building.

Now everyone is digging over there, and she has been left here for a long time with no one paying attention to her. She feels embarrassed and a little lonely.

Finally, she came over.

"That's all you can dig out? Let me help you."

Ji Rou had nothing to say and tried to insert herself.

But Lu Xi and Zhuang Yi ignored her. The other big men were digging as hard as if they were injected with chicken blood. They wished they were on fire and had no time to pay attention to her.

Ji Rou stood there awkwardly, turned around and wanted to leave, but she felt unwilling, so she turned her face away and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

"I don't accept it." Lu Xi was very straightforward. She and Ji Rou had different personalities and there was no need for them to have a close relationship.

Ji Rou's face flushed. "I've already apologized, what else do you want? Brother Nanzhou, can you take care of your wife?!"
