Because of the match, Ruan Yi didn't sleep well at night, and he didn't feel energetic when he went to school the next day.
In the afternoon, Ruan Yi met Xu Siyan again in the laboratory.
He came to the school temporarily to see how the equipment was being put into use.
There were rumors in the school that Xu Siyan was pursuing Ruan Yi. Now that the two of them were meeting, other colleagues and junior students in the laboratory were all gossiping and wanted to see with their own eyes how the two of them got along.
Xu Siyan came with the director, and even the director couldn't help but glance at Ruan Yi.
As the center of the storm, Ruan Yi was very calm. He just said hello to Xu Siyan in a formulaic manner and continued to do the work at hand.
Xu Siyan's eyes did not linger on Ruan Yi, and he did not even respond to her greetings. After a few seconds of silence, he told the director: "Go to another laboratory."
As soon as the director and Xu Siyan left, Ruan Yi was surrounded by people. A school girl asked her: "Sister Ruan, isn't Mr. Xu chasing you? Why is he suddenly so cold to you?"
Indifferent?
After Ruan Yi heard this question, he thought about it for a few seconds.
In fact, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Siyan's current attitude towards her. On the contrary, he was overly enthusiastic before, which made people feel overwhelming.
Xu Siyan's current attitude is normal, right?
Ruan Yi didn't answer for a long time, and another junior asked: "Is Mr. Xu unhappy because Senior rejected him before?"
School girl: "Why are you unhappy?"
Junior: "Men are all about face, especially a man like Mr. Xu. I guess he must have been favored by others since he was a child. Others are chasing him. My senior didn't give him face."
School girl: "So what? It doesn't mean that the school girl also likes him. He thinks that he is RMB and is rare to everyone."
Ruan Yi was amused by the school girl's words, "Okay, let's do the experiment."
——
Xu Siyan and the director visited several other laboratories. The director introduced him to the laboratory situation, but Xu Siyan's mind was obviously not here.
After coming out of the laboratory building, the director looked at Xu Siyan and asked tentatively: "Mr. Xu, will you stay in the staff canteen for lunch? Xiao Ruan is here too."
The director is in his fifties after all, and he has a lot of experience in relationships. Xu Siyan suddenly came to visit today. He must be a drunkard and not interested in drinking.
Xu Siyan refused: "No need."
Director: "Mr. Xu, don't mind me meddling in other people's business. As for relationships, I've been through it all, so I'll tell you a few more words... You must be so good, and you've never chased a woman before. Our little Ruan has such a bad temper." It's a bit depressing. She met her scumbag ex-husband before, who abused her and defrauded her of her money. After so much, there's no guarantee that she won't have confidence in the relationship, but you don't have to worry, as long as you..."
"Scumbag ex-husband." Xu Siyan's attention was focused on these four words. He almost repeated this sentence through gritted teeth: "Abuse her and steal her money?"
The director thought that Xu Siyan didn't know about Ruan Yi's marriage, and even thought that he cared about it, so he said: "Xiao Ruan met a scumbag and was cheated. She was not wrong. Divorce is not a rare thing these days. Xiao Ruan’s conditions are so good..."
"How do you know this?" Xu Siyan asked pretending to be casual.
Director: "Hey, I just heard what they said recently. Xiao Ruan is also very good at hiding things. He got married when he was just in school, and he didn't let us know until he got divorced."
Because Xu Siyan took the initiative to ask, the director talked more and even analyzed it for him: "However, Xiao Ruan has not said anything for so many years, which further proves that her ex-husband is unreliable. He didn't even hold a wedding that year, but tricked and tricked a good girl into getting married. After being tricked like this once, Xiao Ruan will inevitably be wary of men. But Mr. Xu, I believe in your character and strength, and you will definitely marry her. My ex-husband is different.”
Xu Siyan: "..."
The director didn't know the truth and was still praising and encouraging Xu Siyan: "From an elder's perspective, you are the kind of reliable and responsible person, so come on! Xiao Ruan will be impressed by you!"
Xu Siyan: "..."
——
Because of the director's warm invitation, Xu Siyan stayed in the faculty cafeteria of the Polytechnic University to eat.
There were several professors sitting at the same table with them.
During the peak meal period, there were many people in the faculty cafeteria. After Xu Siyan sat down, he looked around. After about ten minutes, he finally saw Ruan Yi walking in with several colleagues.
However, Ruan Yi obviously didn't see him because the colleague next to her was talking to her.
The seat where Xu Siyan was sitting was not far from the window where he was cooking. Ruan Yi and several colleagues came over quickly.
In the noisy background, Xu Siyan heard the colleague next to her say: "Don't be anxious about getting married. Nowadays, men are too dark-hearted. Teacher Ruan is a bloody lesson. Fortunately, Teacher Ruan paid off the domestic violence guy." The scumbag was kicked, let’s relieve our anger!”
Another colleague asked Ruan Yi: "Teacher Ruan, what did you like about your ex-husband at that time? Is he pretty handsome?"
Ruan Yi: "Actually, he..."
She just moved her lips and was about to explain something, but when she raised her eyelids, she saw Xu Siyan sitting not far away.
From a distance of less than one and a half meters, Ruan Yi could clearly see his gloomy eyes and dark face.
He probably heard the two words just now.
"He must be very handsome. He is such a scumbag. If his face is not good, wouldn't it be..."
"Okay." Ruan Yi quickly patted his colleague's arm, "Let's not discuss this anymore, let's change the topic."
After Ruan Yi finished talking to his colleagues, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Siyan again and found that he no longer looked here.
He only showed the side of his face, but Ruan Yi could still feel his displeasure.
But this is also understandable. No one likes to be talked about like this behind his back.
And those rumors are all false.
——
Ruan Yi kept thinking about this matter while eating, and glanced at Xu Siyan from the corner of his eye from time to time.
After struggling for a long time, Ruan Yi decided to send him an apology on WeChat.
Ruan Yi: [I'm sorry, I will explain the rumors about you in school. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. 】
Xu Siyan: [I’ll wait for you at the artificial lake. 】
Xu Siyan did not respond to Ruan Yi's apology, but replied with an incomprehensible word.
After Ruan Yi saw the news, he raised his head and looked at Xu Siyan's table. He happened to be looking at her too.
But he only glanced at it before getting up and leaving the canteen.
Ruan Yi thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks and walked out.
The artificial lake is very close to the faculty canteen. Everyone is taking a lunch break at the moment, so there is no one there.
Ruan Yi walked towards Xu Siyan's back and stopped beside him.
Xu Siyan turned around to face her.
His eyes were a bit oppressive, "When did I cheat your money?"
Ruan Yi: "..."
Xu Siyan: "Domestic violence, pretty boy, scumbag? Is this how you describe me?"
