Zeng Xu: "...?"
Is he too sensitive? Why do he feel that He Xianmo's words are very harsh and seem to be specifically aimed at him.
However, Zeng Xu thought about it deeply and probably figured out what was going on. He Xianmo became so angry that he spoke indiscriminately, mainly because he was emotionally frustrated.
As a friend for many years, Zeng Xu would not take his angry words to heart, but said to him sincerely: "We are different."
He Xianmo snorted, "They're all men. What's the difference?"
Zeng Xu: "I can pull away as soon as I can, but can you?"
He was helpless, "You all know that you will never get married, so you should break it off as soon as possible, and keep pestering her more and more. If she is really a liar and deceives you into being penniless, you-"
He Xianmo ended the topic directly: "I have to work, don't disturb me."
Zeng Xu: "..."
He was really knocked down. Who is the person on the other side that can make him become like this?
Zeng Xu's curiosity was completely aroused, and he frantically wanted to meet the rumored woman.
How about... think of a way?
Zeng Xu looked at He Xianmo who was immersed in work with his head down, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
The morning passed quickly.
When it was almost lunch time, another doctor in the department who had a good relationship with Zeng Xu came to change shifts with him.
The doctor was supposed to be on night shift this Saturday, but something happened at home and he couldn't come.
Zeng Xu agreed without saying a word.
Saturday, night shift...
As soon as He Xianmo heard these two keywords, what Zhou Ruo said last night suddenly came to his mind, and his lips couldn't help but purse into a line.
After the doctor who asked to change shifts left, He Xianmo took the initiative to ask Zeng Xu: "Aren't you going out to play on Saturday?"
Zeng Xu usually dislikes people on duty, especially night shift.
"Dara said she has a heart condition recently and will come to see her on Saturday." Zeng Xu replied casually, "Even if I don't have to change my shift, I still have to come on Saturday. It's a favor and I'll kill two birds with one stone."
Click.
He Xianmo closed the pen cap and asked, "Why is she uncomfortable?"
Zeng Xu: "She said she has chest tightness and shortness of breath. Maybe it's because she hasn't rested recently."
He Xianmo said "Oh".
Zeng Xu: "It shouldn't be a big problem. Dara's physical fitness is quite good."
He Xianmo: "You know?"
Zeng Xu: "Of course, what is my relationship with her? How can I not understand her? Hey... just wait for me!"
Before Zeng Xu finished speaking, He Xianmo took off his coat, stood up and walked out.
Zeng Xu followed him quickly, murmuring in his heart, this man has really been so tortured by women recently that he didn't even wait for him to eat. It was cloudy and sunny all day long, and he felt very stressed even in the same space with him.
Zeng Xu looked at He Xianmo's back and shook his head. He had to quickly figure out who that woman was.
Although he couldn't interfere with other people's feelings, He Xianmo was his best friend. It would be fine if he was in a serious relationship. But now...
——
Zhou Ruo's birthday is on Friday.
He Xianmo had already guessed that Zhou Ruo would not contact him. She made it clear that she would spend her birthday with her family.
But Saturday…
He Xianmo waited patiently until he got off work on Friday. After getting in the car, he sent a WeChat message to Zhou Ruo.
He Xianmo: [Do you need me to go there tomorrow? I'll go hiking if I don't need it. 】
Zhou Ruo replied quickly: [Then you go hiking, I have plans for tomorrow. 】
He Xianmo stared at the words "There are also arrangements" and immediately remembered Zeng Xu's duty.
She had made arrangements to visit Zeng Xu on Saturday.
He Xianmo: [Do you have any plans for the evening? 】
Zhou Ruo: [Not sure when to go back. 】
He Xianmo: [Oh, then I’m going to go hiking. 】
Then Zhou Ruo didn't reply.
She seemed to be like this every time. If she got into the mood, she would tease him. If she had other fun at hand, she would not talk nonsense after she finished talking.
Just like just now, she seemed to have answered every question he asked, but all the answers were vague.
She just said that she had plans for tomorrow, but didn't say what the plans were.
She seemed to have answered his "night" question, but upon closer inspection, she was actually not sure whether she would go back at night.
Also, it was her birthday today, but she didn't even reveal it to him.
He Xianmo threw the phone aside, looked at the red and black gift box next to him, and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
He seems to be nothing.
He could sleep in the same bed with her and enter her body, but he was not even qualified to say "Happy Birthday".
Zeng Xu's question began to echo in He Xianmo's ears.
"Of course she doesn't care. What about you, can you afford it?"
——
Zhou Ruo's birthday was celebrated in the apartment.
Her original plan was to book a restaurant at the hotel and spend her birthdays this way.
But Zhou Yi and San San said they wanted to give her a different birthday, saying that spending it outside was not warm enough, and wanted to give her an unforgettable birthday in her apartment.
Therefore, Zhou Yi, Zheng Pianqing and Sansan went to Zhou Ruo's apartment early in the morning.
If Zhou goes out to work, they will be at home all day preparing for the evening meal.
Zhou Yi has always been good at cooking, and he has learned a lot of skills for San San in the past few years in New York. Zhou Ruo usually doesn't have the chance to take advantage of him, so he won't be polite to him this time.
The company had a half-day birthday holiday, so Zhou Ruo only worked for half a day and went to see Guyu who was on vacation in the afternoon.
As soon as they met, Gu Yu gave her a gift.
It was a limited edition watch. Zhou Ruo had mentioned it before, and Gu Yu had written it down.
"You went to Milan?" Zhou Ruo asked.
"My colleague went and asked him to do the shopping for me." Gu Yu said, "I have been waiting in line for several hours. How about I treat you well?"
"That's great, I love you." Zhou Ruo expressed his gratitude without hesitation, hugged Gu Yu and kissed her.
This is a common action between the two of them.
Guyu put a watch on Zhou Ruo and asked about the evening plans: "Where are we going to eat tonight? I have to kill you."
"It's a pity that I can't kill him." Zhou Ruo said with a smile, "I will spend the night in my apartment."
Guyu: "? It's my birthday, you don't want to drag me to eat yogurt and cereal, do you?"
"No, Zhou Yi will take charge tonight." Zhou Ruo patted Gu Yu on the shoulder, "Don't you want to see how good his cooking skills are now? This is your chance."
Guyu's expectations were suddenly raised.
Knowing that Sansan and Zheng Pianqing were also here, Gu Yu took Zhou Ruo to the mall to choose gifts for their mother and daughter.
Zhou Ruo politely said no. This was a tacit understanding between their friends, and she had always treated Gu Yu's family this way.
While choosing gifts at the counter, Gu Yu suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask Zhou Ruo: "Hey, what did Dr. He give you?"
Zhou Ruo: "What?"
She didn't react at all.
Gu Yu had no choice but to explain: "It's your birthday, and he didn't express it?"
Zhou Ruo: "He doesn't know my birthday."
Guyu: "...ah?"
Zhou Ruo: "Are you surprised?"
Guyu: "You asked him to go to your house. Of course I'm surprised. I thought you would celebrate another birthday with him."
Zhou Ruo: "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, so there is no need."
"Oh, what a scumbag statement." Gu Yu bumped Zhou Ruo's arm, "Dr. He was so heartbroken when he heard this. He warmed your bed and cooked for you, but you didn't even tell me your birthday."
