Of course, He Xianmo did not say this to Shi Lan. He did not express any opinions on this topic, and soon chatted with Shi Lan about her job search.
——
Zhou Ruo and Zeng Xu went to the restaurant. Halfway through the meal, Xu Zong sent her a WeChat message and asked her to meet this weekend.
When Zhou Ruo replied to Xu Zong's message, Zeng Xu accidentally caught a glimpse of the content on the screen.
He smiled knowingly. After Zhou Ruo put down the phone, Zeng Xu took the initiative to mention the weekend: "I saw you when Arthur and I were drinking at the bar on Saturday."
The time, place and characters were all complete, and Zhou Ruo immediately knew what he was talking about.
No wonder He Xianmo was at the bar that day.
"Why didn't you come up to me?" Zhou Ruo asked.
"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you." Zeng Xu said with a smile, "Seeing that you guys are having a good time chatting, wouldn't it be a shame if I went there?"
At first glance, his words sounded like jealousy, but in fact he didn't mean it. It was more like a friend's previous teasing. Zhou Ruo could tell the difference clearly.
"Just chatting, we met at a friend's birthday party." Zhou Ruo briefly mentioned a few words to Zeng Xu, and Zeng Xu just nodded without asking too many questions. This attitude made Zhou Ruo feel very comfortable.
What she admired most about Zeng Xu was his sense of propriety, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to maintain a relationship with him for such a long time.
They didn't even need to put this matter on the table, they reached a certain tacit understanding silently.
Zeng Xu also felt that it was normal for Zhou Ruo to be interested in other men, "Yes, it would be good to experience it with more people."
Zhou Ruo: "What about you, haven't you found a new target recently?"
Zeng Xu laughed, "Recently, Arthur took time off to spend time with his girlfriend, and all the work fell on me, leaving me with no time to pursue beauty."
Zhou Ruo was amused by him: "It doesn't matter, we have it now."
"But I'm quite pleased. I'm happy for them." Speaking of the reconciliation between He Xianmo and Shi Lan, Zeng Xu felt a sense of accomplishment. "It's not in vain that I spent so much effort to bring them together."
Zhou Ruo: "When they get married, you sit at the head table."
"You have to sit down." Zeng Xu said, "I have been a witness to them over the years. I was the first to know when they first got together. They are a model couple in our circle. They are both talented and beautiful. Arthur This person is cold and considerate to his girlfriend in private, and I often went to their house to have dinner."
Zeng Xu started chatting and shared a lot of past events with Zhou Ruo. After the meal, Zhou Ruo also had a new understanding of the relationship between He Xianmo and Shi Lan.
Although what Zeng Xu said was exaggerated, the things He Xianmo did for Shi Lan cannot be exaggerated. For example, he taught Shi Lan how to cook when they lived together, stayed up late with her to write papers, and prepared surprises for her on her birthday. of.
Zeng Xu also said that He Xianmo didn't speak for more than a month after the breakup, and he was like a zombie.
Zeng Xu naturally felt that they both loved each other deeply, but Zhou Ruo didn't think so - there was no doubt that Shi Lan loved He Xianmo. It could be seen from the way she looked at He Xianmo and how much she cared about him. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have given up her career and come to London.
But it's hard to judge He Xianmo's feelings for Shi Lan. Love is definitely love, but it will never be as deep as Shi Lan's love for him.
A person like He Xianmo who has good self-control would not be able to have impulses towards other women if he concentrates.
Zhou Ruo felt a little funny thinking about this.
She never took the initiative to hook up with He Xianmo, so how could she be placed in the third party's position?
never mind.
Since the two of them have such a good relationship, she won't tease He Xianmo next time.
He Xianmo was not a human being, but they were both women. Zhou Ruo still considered it from Shi Lan's point of view - she was not the Holy Mother, but Shi Lan had always been friendly to her.
Zhou Ruo never liked the act of robbing men. Even if she was slightly interested in a man, she would not lower her worth to grab him, let alone He Xianmo, who was not interested.
——
Zeng Xu probably considered giving He Xianmo and Shi Lan more time to get along, so he invited Zhou Ruo to buy a cup of coffee after lunch.
When the two returned to the hospital, the lunch break ended in five minutes.
Zhou Ruo stopped at the door of the office and waved goodbye to Zeng Xu. As soon as he finished this action, he suddenly saw the door of Zeng Xu's office open.
The person who walked out was Shi Lan.
But the smile she had when she arrived had completely disappeared from her face, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was still stained with tears.
After opening the door and bumping into Zeng Xu and Zhou Ruo, Shi Lan looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly raised her hands to wipe her face.
Zeng Xu looked worried: "What's wrong? We had a quarrel?"
As he said that, he looked inside, and He Xianmo also walked up. Zeng Xu winked at him, "What are you doing? It's not easy to reconcile. Can you change your bad temper? Ren Shilan is here to bring you food." ,you still--"
"Zeng Xu, I'm fine, stop talking." Shi Lan pulled Zeng Xu and stopped him with a choked voice, "Arthur didn't do anything, it's my problem."
Zeng Xu: "..."
Not to mention Zeng Xu, Zhou Ruo, a person who never commented on other people's feelings, felt that Shi Lan's current attitude was a bit humble.
He Xianmo's objective conditions are good, but there are no men in the world, and Shi Lan is not bad either. It's not like she can't find a marriage partner without him.
After Zeng Xu was speechless for a while, he still couldn't help but said: "You are too accommodating to him. You are boyfriend and girlfriend, and he -"
"No," Shi Lan shook her head and interrupted Zeng Xu, "We have not reconciled."
Zeng Xu: "...?"
Before he could ask, Shi Lan had already trotted away in a hurry.
Zeng Xu was confused for a while, then turned to look at He Xianmo: "What do you mean? No reconciliation? Then you asked for leave some time ago, not with her -"
"I'm going to the clinic, let's talk later." He Xianmo did not answer Zeng Xu's question immediately.
After saying this, he took the information and walked to the elevator.
When passing by Zhou Ruo, He Xianmo's eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, and Zhou Ruo and him briefly looked at each other.
Zeng Xu was obviously confused by what just happened. He stared at the direction He Xianmo left for a long time, and finally shook his head.
I really don’t understand these men and women who are in love.
…
At 4:30, He Xianmo returned to the office from a medical visit, and Zeng Xu immediately went up to "interrogate" him.
"What's going on between you and Shi Lan? Are you really not reconciled?"
He Xianmo: "No."
Zeng Xu: "You lived with her before we reconciled? And you still traveled together? This is not your style."
"Who told you that I lived and traveled with her?" He Xianmo took off his white coat and hung it up expressionlessly.
Zeng Xu: "Then why did you ask for leave a while ago?"
He Xianmo: "Relax."
After answering, he followed with three words: "A person."
"You took Shi Lan away at the party that day, but you two didn't reconcile?" Zeng Xu still found it unbelievable. They were about to kiss each other that day. "Why did you suddenly become such a scumbag? What stimulated you?"
