Zeng Xu found that after a weekend off, He Xianmo's mood was much more stable than last week. During the lunch break, the two of them went to the cafeteria to eat together. For the first time, He Xianmo turned on his mobile phone during the meal. He was very absorbed in watching it, and even several times , Zeng Xu talked to him, but he didn't reply.
You know, He Xianmo is usually the kind of person who rarely touches his mobile phone. He has no dependence on mobile phones, and he is even less likely to be distracted when eating. Not only did he look at it this time, he was so engrossed in it that he ignored people talking to him, which is really abnormal. .
Zeng Xu's curiosity was aroused, and he raised his hand and waved it in front of He Xianmo's eyes. This conspicuous movement finally caught his attention.
He Xianmo raised his eyes and saw Zeng Xu staring at him. He immediately turned over his phone and put it on the table, "What's wrong?"
Zeng Xu glanced at his mobile phone and said, "What big thing are you doing? It's rare to see you holding your mobile phone while eating."
He Xianmo: "Just take a look."
Zeng Xu raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it, but He Xianmo didn't give him a chance to ask, "Where did you go to play on the weekend?"
He Xianmo rarely asked about Zeng Xu's entertainment arrangements. This time he changed the subject too obviously, but Zeng Xu did not expose him and shared his weekend experience with him with a smile: "I met him when I went out to the secret room on Saturday. It’s a very popular one and it’s developing now.”
He Xianmo knew that he was talking about women, so he asked by the way: "In which direction will it develop?"
"Let nature take its course. It depends on her wishes. If she wants to develop into a boyfriend and girlfriend, then I can do that too." It can be seen that Zeng Xu likes this person quite a lot, at least now.
His attitude towards the relationship between men and women was exactly the same as Zhou Ruo's. He Xianmo picked up the lettuce with a fork and said, "What about the other people in your pool?"
"If you're in love, I won't contact you for the time being until I'm single again." Zeng Xu smiled, "I'm a very principled person and I won't go out and mess around when I have a girlfriend."
He Xianmo sneered and did not reply to his boastful remarks.
But this was his usual style. Zeng Xu had already adapted to it and didn't mind.
When talking about emotional issues, Zeng Xu naturally thought of He Xianmo's last incident and asked, "Have you still contacted that woman before?"
He Xianmo paused while eating, and then shook his head after a brief silence.
Zeng Xu: “Still can’t let go?”
He Xianmo: "No."
"Duplicity." Zeng Xu commented, "However, if you can't let go, you just have to control yourself. By the way, the girl who came to the hospital to find you last time was pretty good. Is she chasing you?"
The person Zeng Xu was talking about was Lou Xiaojiang.
He Xianmo couldn't tell whether Lou Xiaojiang was chasing him, because she didn't actually do anything to "chasing" him.
However, he has decided that he will not develop a relationship with Lou Xiaojiang, "I will not be with her."

On Friday, He Xianmo started looking at his phone since he got up in the morning, looking forward to seeing news from Zhou Ruo.
But Zhou Ruo didn't look for him until he got off work in the afternoon.
At five o'clock, He Xianmo came out of the hospital and planned to drive to the mall counter to pick up the anklet he had ordered before.
After getting in the car, he habitually took out his cell phone and took a look, but there was still no news from Zhou Ruo.
After waiting for a week, He Xianmo's patience was gradually exhausted. He couldn't hold it anymore. After opening and exiting countless times, he finally sent a WeChat message to Zhou Ruo.
His previous experience was enough for him to recognize the reality: if he didn't take the initiative, the possibility of Zhou Ruo coming to him was very low.
Her life was too rich and exciting, but he was just a dull and boring person, and it was difficult to leave any color in her life.
He Xianmo: [I’m off work]
He thought he would have to wait a few minutes to receive a reply, but he didn't expect Zhou Ruo to reply almost instantly: [I'm just looking for you. 】
He Xianmo's heart lifted a little unconsciously. He didn't reply, waiting for Zhou Ruo to continue talking about what happened next.
Zhou Ruo: [I am going out with my friends tonight. I am not sure when I will return to London. You are busy with your work this weekend. 】
Her words were also in a businesslike tone. Although she was explaining the situation to him, He Xianmo felt quite uncomfortable after hearing it. He instinctively wanted to know what kind of friends she was going out with, whether they were men or women, and who were going. Where, if it is a man...will something happen between them?
But He Xianmo has not forgotten the agreement he made with Zhou Ruo before. This decision was made by himself. He promised that he could accept it. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to swallow the bitter pill alone in order to stay by her side, because he couldn't live without her. she.
Thinking of this, He Xianmo raised his lips mockingly.
He held the phone and was silent for a while, then replied to her: [Okay, come to me if you need anything]
Zhou Ruo: [What need does Dr. He refer to? 】
...she started again.
He Xianmo: [Driving, no more talk]
After he replied to the message, he threw the phone aside, put on his seat belt, started the car, and drove towards the counter.

Zhou Ruo made an appointment with Gu Yu to play together. The two of them hadn't seen each other in the past few weeks, but now the time was finally right.
Gu Yu didn't drive, Zhou Ruo drove directly to her company to pick her up, and the two of them drove in the direction of Brighton.
The living environment in Brighton is much better than that in London. In the two years since Zhou Ruo and Gu Yu came to London to work, they often drove to Brighton to spend weekends.
Guyu dragged his small suitcase out of the company and put it in the trunk. After getting in the car, he let out a long breath, "Damn, it's finally the weekend. I'm exhausted from this crazy class."
Zhou Ruo was amused by Guyu and asked, "Are you very busy recently?"
"Don't mention it, I got a new project and it was a German. I'm really fed up with it." Gu Yu rolled his eyes and couldn't help complaining: "German men will be blocked from me in the future. "
After Gu Yu talked about work for a while, he turned the topic to Zhou Ruo and asked her if she had any new progress recently.
Zhou Ruo has not had any big changes in his work recently, but as for his life...
She raised the corners of her mouth, turned the steering wheel, looked forward, and shared a message with Gu Yu: "Is it okay if I receive a free door-to-door service?"
"Is there such a good thing?" Gu Yu was curious, "What kind of innocent boy who doesn't understand the world is willing to go all out to chase you? I really want to meet him."
Zhou Ruo: "You have seen it."
When Gu Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that what Zhou Ruo just said was "door-to-door service".
"...It's not the person I thought it was, is it?" Gu Yu swallowed, "Wild old dog?"
"Pfft." Zhou Ruozhen was convinced, "Your nicknames are getting more and more outrageous."
Last time he was a macho man born in the year of the dog, but this time he is a wild old dog.
"Holy shit, is it really him?" Gu Yu read the affirmative answer from Zhou Ruo's smile, and was even more stunned and very curious: "What's the relationship between you two now? Boy and girl?"
Zhou Ruo shook his head, "Have you ever seen a boyfriend or girlfriend come to your house for service?"
Never seen it, of course not, but——
How could a person like He Xianmo, who has a rigid outlook on relationships, accept this kind of relationship?
