Zhou Ruo immediately understood what he meant.
But because he finally got together with Gu Yu, Zhou Ruo finally rejected Zeng Xu's proposal.
After Gu Yu found out, he teased her: "I thought you were going to leave me and go find a handsome guy to spend the night together~ Such a great opportunity~"
Zhou Ruo picked up the beer glass and clinked it with Gu Yu, "There are many opportunities to spend a spring night with him, but it's not often that I have the time to talk with you all night long."
Guyu smiled so hard that his eyes almost disappeared: "I know you love me the most. I will cook for you tomorrow."

Zhou Ruo had a lot of fun with Guyu and a group of friends this weekend.
Although there are many men around her, Zhou Ruo enjoys playing with her friends more. This situation of focusing on sex over friends is unlikely to happen to her.
The weekend passed, and Zhou Ruo was back to busy work.
After going to the company for a meeting on Monday, Zhou Ruo sent a message to He Xianmo and made an appointment with him at a convenient time to meet this week.
Zhou Ruo had exchanged contact information with He Xianmo when he was in the hospital that day, but this was the first time he contacted him.
Out of politeness, Zhou Ruo sent a text message first.
After a few minutes, He Xianmo replied with a string of IDs, followed by three words: [Add WeChat]
Zhou Ruo didn't think much, copied the ID and added He Xianmo's WeChat account.
It got through quickly there.
After Zhou Ruo said hello, he once again stated his purpose of coming: [How many days will you visit this week? I need to discuss my information with you. 】
He Xianmo took a picture of this week's work schedule and brought it over.
Zhou Ruo took a look and found that he would have to visit the doctor for the next three days. He would not visit the doctor on Friday, but he would have a rest day.
In other words, he didn't even go to the hospital that day.
Zhou Ruo: [Then I’ll see you next week. 】
He Xianmo: [Friday is okay. 】
Zhou Ruo: [I won’t disturb you during my private time. 】
He Xianmo: [I’m very busy with work next week, so I’ll just do it on Friday. 】
Zhou Ruo looked at the message and thought for a while: [Okay, where should we meet? 】
He Xianmo: [Everything is fine. 】
…
Since He Xianmo didn't mind talking about work during the break, Zhou Ruo was not polite. She booked a coffee shop and confirmed the time with He Xianmo. The two were scheduled to meet at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Ruo arrived ten minutes early, and after waiting for a while, He Xianmo also arrived.
Probably because of his rest day, he was dressed casually today, wearing an off-white hoodie, but his face remained expressionless.
When Zhou Ruo saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Dr. He, thank you for your hard work."
He Xianmo shook his head, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.
Zhou Ruo handed him the menu: "You can order something to drink yourself."
He Xianmo ordered a cup of almond latte, while Zhou Ruo ordered a more concentrated iced American style.
After the coffee was served, Zhou Ruo took out his tablet from the bag next to him and started talking about work with He Xianmo.
Not a single superfluous word.
When chatting about work, He Xianmo was very cooperative. After Zhou Ruo got the valid information from him, he took a pen and took notes on the tablet. He Xianmo lowered his eyes and looked at her handwriting, and unexpectedly found that her handwriting was quite beautiful.
We chatted about work for almost forty minutes, and the coffee was basically untouched.
After finishing the matter at hand, Zhou Ruo finally remembered to drink coffee. The ice in the iced Americano was almost melting.
As soon as Zhou Ruo took two sips of coffee, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw Zeng Xu's message again.
Zeng Xu: [Are you free tonight? Why didn't you come to the hospital this week? miss you. 】
After Zhou Ruo saw the message, Zeng Xu's voice automatically appeared in her mind. She smiled and tapped the screen to reply to him, "When you are free, where are you going?" 】
Zeng Xu sent the address of the bar, "See you later." 】
Zhou Ruo: [OK]
After putting down the phone, Zhou Ruo looked at He Xianmo opposite and found that the other person was also looking at her.
Zhou Ruo smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, but I won't disturb Dr. He's day off."
He Xianmo said "hmm".
Zhou Ruo: "Then I'll leave first."
She started to pack her things, put her bag away neatly, said hello and walked out of the cafe first.
He Xianmo sat in front of the table, looking at the American cup of cheese opposite him that he had only taken a few sips of, with an unpredictable light shining in his eyes behind his lenses.
A few minutes later, He Xianmo took out his mobile phone, found Zeng Xu's chat window, and sent a message.
He Xianmo: [Let’s have dinner together tonight. 】
Zeng Xu: [? Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner? Want to see me? 】
He Xianmo: [Aren’t you free? 】
Zeng Xu: [Not tonight, maybe tomorrow. 】
He Xianmo: [Have you made an appointment? 】
Zeng Xu: [Well, don’t delay my business. If you have anything to do, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Let’s not talk about it for now. 】
He Xianmo turned off the screen of his mobile phone and did not reply to this message.
Even without asking deeply, he could guess who Zeng Xu was dating.

Zhou Ruo went back to the company to handle a few tasks before arriving at the bar. When she came in, Zeng Xu had been waiting for a while.
Zhou Ruo sat down next to him, and Zeng Xu took her into his arms, "We haven't seen you for a week, and you have become beautiful again."
Zhou Ruo smiled and nodded his mouth, "Doctor Zeng, too, his mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
Zeng Xu moved forward and said, "Want to experience it?"
Zhou Ruo went up to him and kissed him. She was familiar with this little flirting technique. After the kiss, she made a gesture of aftertaste and said, "Well, it's really sweet."
Zeng Xu is very fond of this. He and Zhou Ruo are similar people. They have a tacit understanding when it comes to flirting. They know what each other needs and how they should respond when the other party makes a certain move.
There is back and forth, this is the most ideal state.
Although Zeng Xu has rich experience, he has never met anyone like Zhou Ruo before, so he waited patiently for Zhou Ruo for so long. If it were anyone else, he might have lost interest in the waiting process.
But Zhou Ruo wouldn't - the longer he waited, the more he looked forward to it.
"Are you busy at work this week?" Zeng Xu and Zhou Ruo chatted while drinking, "I look forward to you going to the hospital every day."
Zhou Ruo: "You miss me so much?"
Zeng Xu said half-seriously: "Of course, men, they always think about what they haven't eaten."
Zhou Ruo: "What happens after you eat it? Get rid of it or take responsibility?"
Zeng Xu: "It depends on which one you need."
His eyes stopped on her lips, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "I guess she is reluctant to get rid of it. How about eating it a few more times?"
Zhou Ruo took a sip of wine and patted his chin, "Let's see how you behave."
When Zeng Xu heard these words, he knew that he had "passed the test."
He had guessed before that Zhou Ruo probably didn't want to develop a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him, or in other words, she was like this with every man.
The few questions just now were also testing him - if he also wanted to be "responsible", they probably wouldn't have any intersection after this drink.
It can be seen that Zhou Ruo is a person who is very afraid of trouble, especially trouble in relationships.
In this regard, they are very similar.
Zeng Xu thought that since their principles were so similar, they should also be the basis for a "stable relationship."
As long as the relationship between two people does not develop into boyfriend and girlfriend, they can have "stability".
