1057th round
On Friday, Zhou Ruo received a WeChat message from Zeng Xu, asking her if she had time to have a meal together in the evening.
Zeng Xu hadn't contacted Zhou Ruo for a long time, this time he took the initiative to ask her to meet, Zhou Ruo guessed that he was probably going to ask He Xianmo about it, but she didn't want to waste her words to explain, so she directly rejected Zeng Xu's request.
Zeng Xu didn't ask again.
Zhou Ruo felt that this kind of thing, she didn't need to explain to Zeng Xu, when he bumped into him that day, he should have already interrogated He Xianmo, anyway, there were so many things between men and women.
However, as soon as Zeng Xu's news was released, it made Zhou Ruo think of the information that Xie Cheng shared with her before.
I don't know if He Xianmo and Xu Xuanruo broke up.
ββ
The "cold war" between He Xianmo and Xu Xuanruo lasted for five days.
He Xianmo didn't mean not to contact Xu Xuanruo, he just felt that he still needed time to think about what he wanted.
When you think about it, the workday of the week flies by.
He Xianmo actually didn't expect that Xu Xuanruo would not contact him for such a long time - this feeling reminded him of when he was hung by Zhou Ruo.
Xu Xuanruo usually has a little temper, but she never fights coldly, she directly expresses her needs.
Moreover, she has always been very clingy, and the two of them can't see each other every day on weekdays, but Xu Xuanruo has to make a video call with him for more than an hour before going to bed at night before she stops.
I didn't speak for so long this time...... He Xianmo rubbed his temples, he thought, Xu Xuan might have been frightened by the birth of the child he mentioned that day.
In the end, He Xianmo took the initiative to send Xu Xuanruo WeChat.
He Xianmo: [Do you get off work on time today, what kind of food do you want to eat, I'll cook it for you in the evening.] γ
He didn't mention the events of that day, and the tone of the message was as if there had never been a fight, as if nothing had happened.
In He Xianmo's view, this is the tacit understanding and decency between adults, after a week, after each other is calm, both sides will go down the steps.
He thought Xu Xuanruo would feel the same way.
But when Xu Xuanruo saw He Xianmo as if nothing had happened and didn't mention the last quarrel, she only felt sarcastic, thinking that he was pinching her by hanging her for a while and then giving her some benefits, so that she could compromise.
Xu Xuanruo stared at the message sent by He Xianmo for a few minutes, and then replied with a calm face: [Whatever, I don't have much appetite recently. γ
He Xianmo: [I'm sorry about the weekend, and I will talk in person in the evening. γ
Xu Xuanruo: [Okay. γ
Arguing with words on WeChat is really not an effective way to communicate, even if it is a breakup, it should be a face-to-face interview between two people.
Although Xu Xuanruo has a large age gap with He Xianmo, it does not mean that she is really naΓ―ve.
ββ
At six o'clock in the evening, when Xu Xuanruo returned home from work, He Xianmo was already waiting for her in the living room.
Xu Xuanruo entered the door and saw that the living room was neatly organized, and the things she had placed on the sofa and coffee table before had been cleaned up, as if the floor had also been wiped.
He Xianmo would help her clean up every time he came to her apartment, and he had unconsciously formed a habit.
Xu Xuanruo looked around, and after changing his shoes, he asked him, "What time did you come?" β
He Xianmo: "I came soon after sending you a message. β
Xu Xuanruo was surprised: "You don't go to work?" β
He Xianmo: "I took a few hours off. β
"Oh." Xu Xuanruo answered softly, walked to the sofa and sat down.
Her apartment is not large, only a sofa, but Xu Xuanruo did not sit against He Xianmo as usual, and subconsciously kept a distance from him.
He Xianmo was also aware of this.
He looked at Xu Xuanruo's face and asked directly, "Are you still angry about that incident?" β
Xu Xuan asked rhetorically if she didn't answer: "What kind of answer do you want to hear?" β
He Xianmo: "I was impulsive that day and didn't respect your wishes, I'm sorry. β
He apologized first, and then expressed his current attitude to Xu Xuanruo, "I won't mention this matter in the future." β
Xu Xuanruo: "Really? β
He Xianmo nodded, "Hmm." β
Xu Xuanruo stared at his eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why were you with me in the first place?" β
He Xianmo didn't expect Xu Xuanruo to suddenly ask such a question, he was stunned for a few seconds, his brain was a little blank, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
His reaction all fell on Xu Xuanruo's eyes, and she continued: "Do you really like me Arthur? Or do you want to run away with something through me? β
He Xianmo's eyelids began to jump.
What evasion?
What did Xu Xuanruo know?
"Don't you answer me?" Xu Xuanruo pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly.
In fact, Xie Cheng's speculation, she thought about it repeatedly for a long time, and she still didn't want to believe it, but He Xianmo's reaction just now made her feel that Xie Cheng's speculation was right.
His state of weakness is completely helpless after the lie is exposed.
He Xianmo was silent for a long time under Xu Xuanruo's gaze, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sorry, let's break up." β
Xu Xuanruo was not surprised to hear this, but laughed brightly, "Congratulations, you said this sentence one step ahead of me." β
Even if He Xianmo doesn't mention it, she will mention it.
She liked him very much, but she was not a love-oriented, impractical person, and she didn't think she had the ability to bring back someone who might share her sexual orientation.
He Xianmo looked at the smile on Xu Xuanruo's face, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Before coming, he had already made the decision to break up, but he felt that it was too informal to say it on WeChat, and the two of them were very happy to be together for a few months, and at least they should have a decent goodbye.
He Xianmo thought that Xu Xuan would be sad if she refused, but she didn't expect that she would give such a response.
"When did you find out?" He Xianmo took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but ask this question.
Xu Xuanruo: "What do you know?" What is the matter between you and Brother Zeng Xu? β
He Xianmo: "......? β
Once again, he was stunned.
What he and Zeng Xu?
Xu Xuanruo: "At the beginning, he introduced me to you, and you took the opportunity to be with me, and then mentioned getting married and having children, isn't it just to find someone to cover?" β
"Wait." He Xianmo suddenly reacted, "Did you misunderstand something?" β
Xu Xuanruo: "Misunderstanding?" You and Brother Zeng Xuβ"
"I don't like men." He Xianmo interrupted her, eager to clarify her position.
As a straight man, the most taboo thing is to be questioned about your sexual orientation.
He Xianmo's words were very tough and his attitude was cold, and Xu Xuanruo was shocked.
She was silent for a while, and suddenly she realized something.
What she just said about "escaping some things by being with me" is not the same meaning as He Xianmo understands at all.
In other words, He Xianmo was with her at that time for other reasons.
Xu Xuanruo originally wanted to continue asking, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary.
has broken up, and there is no point in delving into many issues, no matter what reason He Xianmo was with her, it doesn't matter if he really has feelings for her in the process.
