The loss to He Xianmo did not affect Zhou Ruo's interest. She faced the difficult rock climbing wall alone and still had fun. She was not timid because of the failure just now. She explored for a while and found some new ones. Skill.
After coming out of the rock climbing gym, it was already lunch time. Zhou Ruo took the initiative to ask He Xianmo to have a meal - he made a reservation at the rock climbing gym, and He Xianmo gave her another gift. In addition, he always went to the supermarket to buy things. The money paid and the maintenance of the relationship are two-way, and Zhou Ruo will not always "take advantage".
When He Xianmo heard Zhou Ruo say that he wanted to invite him to dinner, he was stunned for a while and did not respond.
Zhou Ruo teased: "Why are you so surprised to treat me to a meal? Am I usually very stingy?"
He Xianmo shook his head, "No, where to eat?"
Zhou Ruo: "I treat you, the guest has the final say."
He Xianmo: "Are you used to our food?"
Zhou Ruo: "I'm not picky about food, anything is fine. If you want to eat, we can go and drive."
She smiled and waved her hands, her movements free and bold.
He Xianmo stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the Chinese restaurant. He habitually said to Zhou Ruo: "It's a bit far. It may take about forty minutes."
Zhou Ruo: "It's okay, I'm not very hungry."
He Xianmo said "hmm".
Bored on the road, Zhou Ruo played with the stereo in He Xianmo's car to play songs. After turning it on, he found that all of his playlists were Cantonese songs.
"An Affair", "You Hide It From Me", "Angkor Wat", "No Man's Land", "Vasts and Flowers"...
Zhou Ruo: "..."
Although not everyone has heard it, she can already tell what type of other songs it is based on the two songs she has heard.
He Xianmo played a cheating song list.
"Doctor He's taste is quite unique." Zhou Ruo randomly ordered a song and pressed play, "Are you from Hong Kong City?"
He Xianmo: "No."
Zhou Ruo: "Oh, is that from Lingnan?"
He Xianmo: "A native of Haicheng."
Zhou Ruo: "I thought you knew Cantonese."
He Xianmo: "No."
Zhou Ruo joked, "I asked why Dr. He is so virtuous. It turns out he is from Haicheng. I heard before that the men over there are very good at cooking."
He Xianmo: "Where did you hear it?"
Zhou Ruo: "There is a high school classmate whose husband is from Haicheng."
He Xianmo: "Oh, I thought you had talked about it."
Zhou Ruo shook his head, "I didn't."
He Xianmo reminded coldly: "Cai Jiahe is from Haicheng."
Zhou Ruo: "..."
Oh yes, they are cousins, so they must be from the same place.
But Zhou Ruo had no idea where Cai Jiahe was from. Cai Jiahe should have told her, but she didn't take these things to heart.
Zhou Ruo never remembers this kind of information about the men around him, and he rarely even remembers his habits and hobbies.
She just wants to get pleasure from men and doesn't want to waste energy providing them with emotional value.
Maybe it's because there are so few men who can stay with her for a long time, and most of them lose their novelty before they even get to know her.
"Dr. He's status in my heart is much higher than his." Zhou Ruo took advantage of the red light to shake He Xianmo's hand.
He Xianmo looked forward and brushed her away calmly, "I didn't ask you."
"I want to say it myself." Zhou Ruo said, "You are quite different. I am happier being with you."
The red light turned green, He Xianmo gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
He Xianmo probably knew what Zhou Ruo meant by "happiness", so he didn't bother asking.
Zhou Ruo has said before that she likes to do it with him because they are more compatible than any man she has met before.
Her "happiness" is actually sensory stimulation, very simple.
Zhou Ruo only needs this point for the relationship between men and women. She does not have a high desire for love itself, and she does not want to sacrifice herself for it. So when Cai Jiahe proposed that she should not be allowed to associate with other people of the opposite sex, she We broke up decisively.
Zhou Ruo just said that he has a higher status than Cai Jiahe, and he is also higher here——
Because he has not made such a request to her so far.
On the day he mentioned it, it was probably time for them to finish.
——
When Zhou Ruo and He Xianmo arrived at the restaurant, the peak dining period had passed.
Most of the people in the restaurant were Chinese, and the two of them naturally used Chinese when ordering.
However, Zhou Ruo didn't know much about our cuisine, so this task fell on He Xianmo.
He Xianmo was very familiar with this restaurant and ordered quickly without looking at the menu.
After the waiter left, Zhou Ruo looked around and casually chatted with He Xianmo: "Do you come here often?"
He Xianmo: "Maybe once a week."
Zhou Ruo: "I can see it."
He Xianmo: "It's a relatively authentic local dish in London. The boss and chef are both from Haicheng."
Zhou Ruo: "You miss your hometown so much, but you didn't go back to develop."
He Xianmo: "My parents think the prospects here are better."
Zhou Ruo: "Doctor He is so obedient."
What she said didn't sound complimentary, but rather mocking. He Xianmo also knew that her personality would definitely not appreciate a person who obeyed his parents' arrangements.
He Xianmo didn't explain much about this, he just said: "This is the way I get along with them."
"Well, I don't understand, but I respect it." Zhou Ruo said, "After all, I haven't heard much since I was a child."
He Xianmo: "Then who made the decision for you to go abroad?"
"It's your decision." Zhou Ruo replied.
He Xianmo: "..."
She remembered that she had gone abroad in middle school, before she was an adult at that time, and he thought her parents sent her out after finishing her homework.
She didn't expect it to be herself.
He Xianmo digested it for a long time and couldn't help but ask her: "Your parents didn't object?"
Zhou Ruo: "Why do you object?"
He Xianmo: "I am young, insecure, not adaptable to the language, my personality has not stabilized, and I am easy to learn bad things."
Zhou Ruo: "..."
He Xianmo read the speechlessness from her expression.
He coughed and changed his approach: "Don't your parents have any requirements for you?"
"Yes." Zhou Ruo answered.
He Xianmo was curious: "For example?"
"My parents' only request is that I give birth to a child as soon as possible for them to raise," Zhou Ruo said.
He Xianmo translated for himself: "Oh, they hope you get married soon."
"NO, I just want children, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not." Zhou Ruo corrected He Xianmo's words.
The expression on He Xianmo's face froze for a few seconds, "How can we have children without getting married?"
Zhou Ruo burst into laughter.
"Dr. He, your hospital has a lot of cases of out-of-wedlock births, right? It's reasonable and legal, and you can also do genetic screening to avoid fetal birth defects. Isn't this more cost-effective than getting married?"
He Xianmo: "..."
Yes, that's not uncommon around here.
He Xianmo didn't have any special feelings after seeing others doing this, but in his cognitive concept, having a child must be based on marriage.
He even didn't expect that Zhou Ruo's parents could accept this model.
