The body of the thermos cup has been wiped clean, but He Xianmo never stopped.
He seemed to be possessed, and his attention unconsciously wanted to focus on Zhou Ruo over there, and even the scene of him face to face with her just now was in his mind——
At first, when he went up to pick up the thermos cup, he didn't recognize that the person who stepped on his cup was Zhou Ruo. When he raised his head and saw her face, he realized this - she was in a completely different state today than usual, not only She had no makeup, her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a black sportswear. She was very casual and relaxed, but it couldn't suppress the vigorous vitality of her body. She was obviously wearing dark clothes, but she seemed to have a halo of her own, very easily. It can attract people's attention.
But He Xianmo could also subtly realize that Zhou Ruo didn't want to have too much interaction with him, and even had a intention not to talk to him unless necessary. In short, her treatment of Zeng Xu was completely two extremes. He Xianmo had previously said Realized this, but today, he started to feel a little uncomfortable.
The more He Xianmo thought about it, the more he felt that he was possessed. He came to his senses, put the wet wipes into a garbage bag, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of tea. As he swallowed, the raised Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the swelling on his neck The veins also popped.
——
The journey of more than ten kilometers back and forth was done intermittently, and it ended at about one o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Ruo and Gu Yu have been participating in various hiking and mountain climbing activities since they were in middle school. Today’s intensity was nothing for the two of them. When they returned to the starting point, the two of them were still lively and active, and they were still planning to go to the bar together in the evening. .
Zhou Ruo and his group came here by chartered bus, and the driver was waiting at the starting point.
When everyone arrived, the bus was ready to leave.
But as soon as the driver started the car, he saw someone waving in front of him to stop the car.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yu looked outside.
Driver: “Someone needs help.”
Guyu got up and walked to the front of the bus. When he saw He Xianmo outside, he asked the driver to drive.
When He Xianmo saw the bus door open, he walked up quickly and happened to bump into Gu Yu.
Guyu: "This car was chartered by us, not a tourist bus."
He Xianmo: "Can I ask you for a favor? My friend is not feeling well and needs to return to the city as soon as possible."
Gu Yu glanced outside and said, "Okay then, you guys take the seats in the back row."
He Xianmo: "Thank you."
Guyu: “Do you need help moving things?”
He Xianmo: "No need."
He Xianmo got out of the car and helped Shi Lan get in the car. Gu Yu also returned to Zhou Ruo and sat down, telling her about the situation just now.
Zhou Ruo ate the toast slices carelessly. Judging from her expression, she didn't have much interest in this matter.
A few minutes later, He Xianmo helped Shi Lan get into the car.
Gu Yu arranged for them to sit in the back row, while Zhou Ruo and Gu Yu sat in the middle row of the bus. The two of them happened to pass Zhou Ruo on the way.
Shilan stopped specifically and thanked the two of them: "Thank you both for your help. I have caused trouble to you."
You can tell from her voice that she is very weak now.
Guyu: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Shilan: "I have hypoglycemia. I don't exercise much and my physical strength is not good."
Gu Yu found a piece of chocolate and gave it to her, "Try it and see if it works. Go sit down and rest."
Shilan: "Thank you."
Gu Yu was talking to the two of them the whole time. Zhou Ruo only shook his head when Shi Lan said thank you, and didn't say any caring words after that. Although he kept laughing, he gave people a very cold feeling.
After He Xianmo helped Shi Lan sit down in the back row, the bus started slowly.
After Shilan ate the chocolate delivered by Gu Yu, her hypoglycemia symptoms were relieved.
"Don't participate in such activities in the future." He Xianmo said to her, "You are not in good health."
Shi Lan shook her head and looked directly at him, "I just wanted to try something you like. I was too selfish at the beginning and kept asking you to pay, so we would--"
When she said this, her voice was choked up and her eyes were red.
He Xianmo: "It's all over."
He is not good at comforting people, simple and clear, only four words.
But this is not what Shilan wants to hear.
She stared at him for a long time, and finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Then are you still willing to be with me again?"
He Xianmo said nothing.
Shilan held his forearm and drew closer to him, "Do you still love me?"
"Get a good rest." He Xianmo glanced at his watch, "It will take more than an hour to go back. You can take a nap first."
He didn't give a direct answer, but his attitude basically made his meaning very clear.
Shi Lan shed tears unconsciously. She raised her hand to wipe them, leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes.
——
The bus stopped in North London.
Zhou Ruo's apartment is nearby. She glanced at the time and said to Guyu, "Go to my place to take a shower and tidy up first."
Guyu: "Then I'll stay with you tonight."
The two people chatted and got up to get out of the car, when He Xianmo and Shi Lan happened to come over.
As soon as Zhou Ruo raised her head, she met He Xianmo's eyes. Out of politeness, she smiled briefly.
"Thank you for today." Shilan thanked her again.
Guyu shook his head, "It's a small matter, it's easy to take a taxi at the intersection."
Zhou Ruo is a very "lazy" person, and she doesn't want to waste her energy when Gu Yu talks to deal with this situation.
After dealing with it, Zhou Ruo and Gu Yu got out of the car together, and they quickly took a taxi and left first.
He Xianmo and Shi Lan stood on the roadside and waited for a while. After stopping a taxi, they took Shi Lan on first.
After Shi Lan left, He Xianmo got into another taxi alone.
His apartment is not far from here, and he will be there in ten minutes.
After returning home, He Xianmo changed his clothes and went to take a shower. While taking a shower, he unconsciously thought of Zhou Ruo——
From the time he took Shi Lan into the car to the time he got off, Zhou Ruo only gave him two very polite and unfamiliar smiles. Those smiles seemed to tell him that he was nothing in her world - she had no regard for him. Any interest.
He Xianmo didn't know what her criteria were for choosing a man. If it was based on appearance, she wouldn't have this attitude towards him.
He Xianmo let the water rush to his head. It felt ridiculous to think that he was angry because of such a thing.
He thought that his heart was calm and he had already gotten rid of the so-called bad nature of men. He did not expect that one day, he would feel uncomfortable because a woman did not take the initiative towards him.
Moreover, she is still such a woman.
He Xianmo doesn't like people with messy private lives. He is a bit of a hysterical person, and cheating is his bottom line.
But he actually had this inexplicable feeling towards a person who cheated on him repeatedly.
——
When Zhou Ruo was drinking at the bar at night, she received an invitation from Zeng Xu and asked her if she had time in the evening and if she wanted to go to his house for a drink.
