Zeng Xu tirelessly analyzed He Xianmo from the perspective of a friend, "It's one thing for you to have hormones now, but it's another to live a married life. If nothing else, can your parents accept this type of relationship? Women's feelings Experience shouldn’t be judged, but how many parents don’t consider this when looking at their daughter-in-law?”
He Xianmo looked at Zeng Xu and accepted his words calmly: "So you won't choose this kind of marriage."
"Of course not." Zeng Xu answered simply, "If you want to get married and live a relatively simple life, it doesn't matter if you have been in love. You can't be too showy."
He Xianmo: "The women around you are very flamboyant."
Zeng Xu: "Yes, I like this, but I will not marry such a woman."
His words were very candid, which should be the sentiment of most men. In front of He Xianmo, Zeng Xu didn't have to hide it.
He Xianmo: "Zhou Ruo too?"
After going around in circles, he finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Dara and I? Getting married?" Zeng Xu seemed to have heard some fantasy, "What are you thinking about?"
He Xianmo: "You haven't been together for a long time."
Zeng Xu: “It’s because we don’t know how to get married that our relationship is so stable.”
He organized his language for a while before thinking about how to explain this logic to He Xianmo, "Because we don't need to be responsible for each other and there is no mental burden, so we play together when we want to play, and when we get tired of it, we don't contact him for a while. She has no expectations for me. , I have no requirements for her, we both enjoy this model, but this kind of relationship requires a threshold."
At least He Xianmo couldn't do it, it was not in line with his values.
He Xianmo clenched his fists slightly and asked him: "You don't care at all that she is with another man?"
Zeng Xu: "She never belonged to me."
He Xianmo: "..."
Well, he should never experience Zeng Xu's coolness in this life.
"This is the gap caused by different views on relationships." Zeng Xu knew that He Xianmo couldn't understand, "We are different in this aspect, but because we don't fall in love, it's absolutely fine to be friends. If you find such a person to have a relationship, it won't be a problem." Something good will come of it.”
"Yeah." He Xianmo moved his lips, "I understand."

After chatting with Zeng Xu that day, He Xianmo thought about it alone for a long time, and finally added Zhou Ruo's private account to the WeChat blacklist.
They are indeed not the same kind of people, and getting entangled with Zhou Ruo will not bring good results.
Moreover, he didn't want to create a barrier between him and Zeng Xu because of a woman - even if the chance of this happening was very low.
A week passed, and He Xianmo did not contact Zhou Ruo once.
As for Zeng Xu, He Xianmo wasn't sure. He had been visiting doctors continuously this week and his time in the office was limited, so naturally he couldn't chat with Zeng Xu every day as usual.
After the medical visit ended on Friday afternoon, when He Xianmo returned to the office, he just took out his mobile phone and received a WeChat message from Lou Xiaojiang.
Lou Xiaojiang: [Dr. He, I’ll see you at the hospital tomorrow morning. Sorry to bother you. 】
Seeing this WeChat message, He Xianmo remembered that he seemed to have promised Lou Xiaojiang to give her a private consultation last Saturday.
last Saturday.
As soon as the date came out, Zhou Ruo's face flashed through He Xianmo's mind.
He held the phone a little tighter, forced himself to calm down, and replied to Lou Xiaojiang.
[You're welcome, come tomorrow at nine o'clock. 】
Later, Lou Xiaojiang sent another message of thanks, but He Xianmo saw it and did not reply.
Just thinking of Zhou Ruo, He Xianmo opened the blacklist of the address book and saw Zhou Ruo's profile picture in it.
He Xianmo didn't use WeChat much. The list only included people with whom he was close, and only Zhou Ruo was on the blacklist.
After he clicked in, he couldn't help but want to see the circle of friends, but found that he couldn't see it after blocking it.
He Xianmo moved his finger to the words "Remove Blacklist". After a long pause, he exited the interface while his sense was still there.
In order to distract his attention, He Xianmo opened the Moments page and refreshed it after a long time. After mechanically scrolling down a few items, he unexpectedly saw Zhou Ruo's work WeChat updates.
She updated a few photos, and judging from the background, they should be in the laboratory.
In the photo, she was surrounded by a group of people, smiling brightly——
She may have no makeup, or she may have only light makeup. With such a smile, she feels more friendly and looks very easy-going.
It can be seen that she is very popular at work, otherwise she would not be arranged in the middle position when taking photos.
Judging from the copywriting in the circle of friends, this should be the successful conclusion of the first phase of the experiment of a certain project.
Zhou Ruo's copywriting all praises the team members and the company. The only mention of himself is the sentence "It is an honor to work with such outstanding people."
He Xianmo remembered what the dean said when introducing her resume.
I successfully graduated from the most difficult doctoral program at the University of Cambridge. I was recruited into AS by the school and worked for two years to reach the middle level.
He Xianmo has come into contact with too many people with excellent resumes. Smart and intelligent people are prone to pride and unconsciously carry a sense of superiority in their actions. Even he cannot escape this.
But there was no arrogance about academic qualifications at all in Zhou Ruo.
Although she feels unapproachable, it's not because of her academic qualifications, but because of her face.
It is precisely because of her face that people subconsciously think that she is a superficial person.
He Xianmo also suddenly realized that he had never seemed to "appreciate" Zhou Ruo's spiritual world.
His attention to her only stayed at the level of sensory stimulation. After seeing her, restless hormones would engulf all reason.
This feeling is not enough to be called "like", let alone love.
He may have really gone through a gap period for too long, forgotten the feeling of falling in love, and was numbed by sensory stimulation.
Staying away from Zhou Ruo was the right decision, just like quitting drugs.
To wallow in desire is a disgraceful behavior, and it is something he has always looked down upon.

On Saturday, Zhou Ruo went out for a half-day hike with her friends.
Guyu was not here for this hike, so friends who usually hang out brought some new faces in. Zhou Ruo never expected that he would run into Cai Jiahe at this time.
In fact, it was a bit low, but when I realized it, I was already on the bus and couldn't leave even if I wanted to.
Cai Jiahe didn't come here specifically for Zhou Ruo, but he was still surprised to meet Zhou Ruo here, so he followed her throughout the hike.
Fortunately, he still knew how to exercise restraint and was not as persistent as before. Although Zhou Ruo was annoyed, he still saved him face in front of others.
When walking back to the city, Cai Jiahe sat next to Zhou Ruo.
Zhou Ruo glanced at him sideways.
Cai Jiahe seemed to realize something and immediately explained: "I just want to talk to you, nothing else."
Cai Jiahe recently changed his glasses, and Zhou Ruo stared at him for a while, almost hallucinating He Xianmo.
Why didn't I find them so similar before?
Speaking of He Xianmo, Zhou Ruocai realized that this person had not appeared in her world for a few days.
