He Xianmo: "I wouldn't do this to her."
He didn't say this out of anger, it just made it taste a little different when he said it.
But the way He Xianmo and Shi Lan get along is indeed not like this. He is very frank in front of Shi Lan and always expresses his thoughts directly. Because the communication is in place, the two people never quarrel over trivial matters.
They were a model couple at the time, and many classmates came to him to ask him how to get along.
At that time, He Xianmo couldn't understand people who were duplicitous. Why couldn't he express his thoughts directly?
Guessing will only increase communication costs and make the relationship between the two parties more and more tense.
But now he understands.
Facing someone like Zhou Ruo, expressing her feelings directly will only result in a more direct and cruel rejection, just like what she did to Cai Jiahe.
It is better not to say anything than to be rejected and stepped on.
"Then how did you treat her?" Zhou Ruo asked curiously, "Those who are considerate and gentle, prepare three meals a day, and stay up late with her to write the paper?"
"Yeah, almost." He Xianmo didn't expect that Zhou Ruo's guess was quite accurate.
"What a good man." Zhou Ruo praised He Xianmo without hesitation, and then showed a regretful expression.
She lowered her head to his ear and blew a breath: "It's a pity that I have led you to bad things now."
He Xianmo's voice became hoarse. He put his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her away from her ear. "Do you still have the strength? Do you need me to force you until you can't speak?"
"Is it so powerful?" Zhou Ruo was not afraid at all, and even showed an expression of excitement and anticipation: "Are you here?"
He Xianmo: "...I'll clean up the kitchen, you go out."
She'd better leave now while he can still bear it, otherwise when his string breaks, tonight will end badly.
I had done it too hard just a few times, and she was already a little swollen.
Even though she's like this, she's still trying to seduce people. She's really——
"I understand, Doctor He is out of ammunition and food tonight." Zhou Ruo was just teasing him and had no intention of continuing.
She teased He Xianmo, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
——
He Xianmo deliberately slowed down the tidying up, and it took him nearly twenty-five minutes to tidy up.
After it was over, the fire stirred up by Zhou Ruo was somewhat suppressed.
When He Xianmo walked from the dining room to the living room, he found Zhou Ruo sitting on the cushion with a thin blanket wrapped around him, wearing headphones and holding up his mobile phone to video chat with someone.
She smiled brightly and was so focused on her phone that she didn't even hear his footsteps.
"Really? Is he so powerful?"
"Okay, okay, then we have agreed that he will do it on my birthday."
He Xianmo looked at Zhou Ruo's happy state and moved closer to her.
He thought she was chatting with some man again, her eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
But after getting closer, his eyes glanced down, and what appeared on the phone screen was not a man's face, but a woman and a little girl.
Zhou Ruo was smiling happily, but was frightened when he saw a leg suddenly appear in the front camera.
She took off her headphones and looked back at He Xianmo, "Who are you trying to scare to death?"
He Xianmo: "..."
It was obvious that she was too engrossed in chatting with her earphones on and ignored his presence.
"Are there any friends at home?" When Zhou Ruo and He Xianmo were confronting each other, a woman's voice came from the loudspeaker of the mobile phone, "Then you should talk to your friends first."
"It's a boy!" Then a little girl's voice sounded very excited, "Sister-in-law, is this your boyfriend? Is he handsome? Can you show me?"
Zhou Ruo: "..."
"Okay Sansan, let's go to dinner." Zheng Pianqian on the other end of the video interrupted Sansan's gossiping behavior and said goodbye to Zhou Ruo: "I'll see you on your birthday then. You can get busy."
Zhou Ruo nodded, hung up the video, raised his head and glanced at He Xianmo, not looking good.
At this time, He Xianmo had not yet recovered from the information he had just seen and heard in the video.
After standing behind Zhou Ruo, he glanced at the phone screen a few more times and immediately recognized the little girl - the one he had seen before. Zhou Ruo had taken her to play in London.
At that time, He Xianmo thought that the little girl looked very similar to Zhou Ruo, but when he saw the woman next to her, he realized that they were more similar. They were mother and daughter at first glance.
The little girl just called Zhou Ruo "sister-in-law."
The man who was sent back to the hotel by Zhou Ruo...
He Xianmo's face looked a little ugly, and he moved his lips awkwardly, "In the video just now-"
"My brother's child, and his mother." When He Xianmo asked, Zhou Ruo knew why his face looked so ugly.
After all, he thought she was the mistress kept by Zhou Yi.
After getting Zhou Ruo's answer, He Xianmo's expression became even more confused.
Seeing that he couldn't hold back a fart for a long time, Zhou Ruo took the opportunity to tease him: "Why, Doctor He seems to be quite disappointed to know that she is my niece and not the illegitimate daughter I gave birth to to someone else?"
"...That man is your brother." He Xianmo asked her, "Brother?"
Zhou Ruo spread his hands and did not explain the matter to him in detail.
The answer to this question is not that important to He Xianmo. What he cares more about is: "You know what I think, why do you deliberately do things that make me misunderstand? Why not-"
"Why don't I explain to you?" Zhou Ruo snatched his words away, looked at him funny, and poked his chest with her finger, "Does Dr. He take himself too seriously? Why should I care what you think? "
He Xianmo: "..."
He has never been Zhou Ruo's opponent in debate.
Besides, she was right. How could someone like her explain it to others? In her opinion, their relationship didn't reach that level.
"Then that man last time, you-" He Xianmo quickly remembered the man he had met twice before.
"I'm sleepy." Zhou Ruo stretched, took off the blanket and threw it on He Xianmo's arm, "The sofa in the living room opens into the bed. Good night, Doctor He."
Zhou Ruo returned to the bedroom coolly and closed the door with a click.
He Xianmo stood there holding the blanket for a long time, and finally walked to the sofa silently.
After opening the sofa, He Xianmo turned off the lights, took off his glasses and lay down, but he couldn't feel sleepy.
Just now he heard Zhou Ruo chatting with the mother and daughter on the other side of the video about birthdays.
It sounds like she has a birthday coming up soon.
Recently...which day was it specifically?
——
Early the next morning, Zhou Ruo didn't get up until eight o'clock.
When she came out after washing, the living room had been tidied up.
Zhou Ruo thought that He Xianmo left first in the morning, so he rubbed his shoulders and walked to the restaurant.
After walking in, I found He Xianmo busy in the kitchen.
"...You haven't left yet?"
Not only did he not leave, he also consciously stayed to make breakfast.
"Just now, property management staff came in to register information." He Xianmo answered the question and put the plate on the dining table. "You're not awake. I told them to go down and register in a while."
