basic rspec test not passing

Would appreciate if someone could tell me why this won't pass, it's getting nil instead of value

class Hello
  def hi
    puts "hello"
  end
end


describe Hello do

  before do
    @obj = Hello.new
  end

  describe "#hi" do
    it "should say hello" do
      @obj.hi.should == "hello"
    end
  end

end

Change it to:

class Hello
  def hi
    "hello"
  end
end

puts just outputs the string, but returns nil as the value, so hi is just returning that nil value.
