Zeng Xu was startled by this voice, and almost bounced up from the chair, he looked up, and before he could ask, He Xianmo had already gotten up to pick up the thermos cup.

When He Xianmo came back from picking up the cup, Zeng Xu couldn't help but ask more: "Arthur, are you really okay?" ”

Absent-minded, with a low aura, I haven't seen him like this when I broke up with Shilan, and as a friend, it's hard not to worry.

"Well, it's fine." He Xianmo still responded.

Zeng Xu couldn't help him, shook his head helplessly, and continued to work.

Later, He Xianmo didn't make any movement, the whole person was quiet as if it didn't exist, and a morning's work passed like this.

When it was almost lunch time, Zeng Xu took the initiative to ask He Xianmo: "Arthur, are you going to have lunch together?" ”

He Xianmo: "No. ”

After he refused, Zeng Xu didn't force it, and said "oh" regretfully, and then said, "Then I'll go with Dara." ”

He Xianmo's hand holding the pen tightened, the joints contracted, and the blood vessels on the back of his hand were faintly bulging, but Zeng Xu didn't notice this.

"Oops, Dara and I really have a heart-to-heart, I haven't looked for her yet, she's already come to ask me out." Zeng Xu just picked up his mobile phone and was about to contact Zhou Ruo, but found that Zhou Ruo had already sent a WeChat message to ask him to have lunch three minutes ago, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.

Zeng Xu's attention was all focused on WeChat, and he didn't notice the expression of He Xianmo on the other side.

He Xianmo's whole popularity was already so low that he couldn't speak, seeing Zeng Xu smiling and chatting with Zhou Ruo on WeChat, he unconsciously glanced at his mobile phone, and then remembered that he didn't even have Zhou Ruo's private WeChat.

That emotion called "jealousy" spreads from the bottom of my heart, spreads all the way to every vein, occupies the high ground, and is about to explode at any time.

He Xianmo clenched his fists, his breathing was heavy, and the green tendons at his temples burst out unconsciously, and he spent a lot of willpower to restrain his emotions, at least he couldn't be seen by Zeng Xu.

Bang bang bang.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

When He Xianmo looked up, Zeng Xu had already rushed forward to open the door, and the person standing behind the door was Zhou Ruo.

He Xianmo's eyes were fixed on her face, and Zhou Ruo just glanced at him casually and ended, as if the two of them were not familiar, she grabbed Zeng Xu's arm and said to him with a smile: "Doctor Zeng, I have booked a restaurant, please go out to eat at noon." ”

Zeng Xu was a little surprised: "Go outside? Are you going on a date with me? ”

Zhou Ruo did not deny it, "Well, you can think so." ”

Zeng Xu took off his white coat, and before leaving with Zhou Ruo, he habitually informed He Xianmo, "Arthur, I'm going to eat, you go quickly, don't be hungry, you have a bad stomach." ”

He Xianmo let out an "oh", and his response attitude was very different from usual.

Zhou Ruo didn't say hello to He Xianmo, her focus seemed to be on Zeng Xu, and the two left the office with a smile.

He Xianmo looked at the closed door of the office, his eyes reddened, his temples fluttering, his lips tensed, and his clenched fists all showed his anger - he wanted to drag her back and lock her in a cage so that she would not be in a position to talk and laugh with other men.

Maybe it's because his love life is too "simple", before Zhou Ruo, he had never seen a woman who was so comfortable with several men at the same time, she was passionate about everyone, but it seemed that it didn't matter to anyone, no one could really enter her heart, she could be intimate with you in the last second, and she could turn around and leave in a chic way the next second, without nostalgia.

He Xianmo knew that he was not her opponent at all when he played ambiguously, he should have stayed away from her, but after trying a few times, he failed, and every time he forced himself not to see her, his desire would usher in a more terrifying outburst.

For example, now - he is even regretting that when she sat on his lap that night to seduce him, he might as well have just been her, she doesn't care about being so presumptuous during menstruation, why should he cherish her body, she is not worthy, not worthy.

——

He Xianmo went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water several times, forcibly suppressing all his dirty thoughts, and when those evil thoughts appeared just now, he couldn't believe that it was actually an impulse that had bred in his subconscious.

After washing his face, He Xianmo walked to the canteen alone, and received a call from his father He Shuxing on the way.

When he saw his father's call, He Xianmo suddenly sobered up a little, he stopped, found a place where there were not many people, pressed the answer button, and as usual, shouted "Dad" respectfully.

"Didn't disturb your work, did you?" He Shuxing asked.

He Xianmo: "No, I won't go to the clinic today, I'm on a lunch break at this time." ”

He Shuxing: "Well, your mother and I went to London in three days, and she accompanied me to an academic forum to see you by the way. ”

He Xianmo: "Okay, then live with me." ”

"Well, that's what your mother thinks too." He Shuxing said, "She misses you very much, especially your relationship status - then you talk to her." ”

He Xianmo didn't have time to respond, He Shuxing had already given the phone to Bai Qingru, and the voice in the earpiece was replaced by a gentle female voice, "Have you had a girlfriend recently?" ”

Compared with work, Bai Qingru is more concerned about He Xianmo's emotional state, He Xianmo has outstanding ability since he was a child, and he doesn't need to worry about his studies at all, but his personality is too dull.

"Nope." He Xianmo's answer was the same as before.

Bai Qingru's reaction after listening to it was the same as before, first sighing, and then urging: "You are in your early thirties, it's time to put this matter on the agenda, you usually have to socialize more, don't always stay alone." ”

These are all clichés, and Bai Qingru will urge him to socialize almost every time he contacts him.

He Xianmo also responded as usual this time: "Okay, I wrote it down." ”

"You say this every time, but the result is not single until now," Bai Qingru sighed, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked him tentatively: "Xianmo, if you talk seriously, are you still thinking about Shilan?" ”

"Nope." He denied it.

He denied it too quickly, Bai Qingru didn't believe it very much: "Since you didn't, then why haven't you looked for it since you broke up with her, I'm your mother, you don't have to be duplicitous in front of me, if you really can't let it go, then try to fix it." ”

"Mom, I'm done with her, it's impossible." He Xianmo emphasized it again, and in order to convince her, he followed up and said, "I will go to contact the newcomer." ”

Bai Qingru: "Really? ”

He Xianmo: "Hmm. ”

Bai Qingru: "Then I'll introduce you to one." ”

This is the real purpose of her temptation, "The daughter of one of my classmates works at a London bank, and she is three years younger than you. ”

He Xianmo: "......"

Bai Qingru: "When your father and I arrive, find a suitable time and make an appointment to have a meal together." ”
