Chapter 49
Xia Ruirui also felt a little more confident.
Shen Yuqing must have misunderstood and thought that the ex she was talking about was Ji Chuyao.
After all, when he was in high school, he was always secretly sulking because of Ji Chuyao.
Combined with what Shen Yuqing said just now.
"Don't judge a person by appearance; you should look more at their inner qualities. Some people may appear abstinent, but they may actually be very unfaithful..."
The sourness in his words was almost overflowing.
But the one thing she couldn't figure out was - doesn't Shen Yuqing look in the mirror himself?
Looking at his own face, he actually felt that Ji Chuyao looked more abstinent than he did.
Is there any man in the whole of Xijing who looks more abstinent than him?
She found it funny when she thought that Shen Yuqing thought Ji Chuyao was her first love and was probably jealous.
What kind of idiot is he?
What gave him this illusion?
The next second, the words "Teacher Appreciation Banquet" suddenly appeared in her mind.
Xia Ruirui's mouth froze, and her thoughts returned to the day of the teacher's appreciation banquet.
That day was the second week of her psychological counseling intervention.
Perhaps because she had to take too many medicines every day, she once became tired of life.
At that time, she felt that life was so tiring and getting along with people was so exhausting.
At that time, she had not left the house for a long time. After the college entrance examination, she stayed at home except for the time she received psychological counseling in the hospital.
The only people I see every day, besides Mr. and Mrs. Xia, are two psychologists.
Xia's father originally wanted her to turn down the teacher appreciation banquet, but Xia Ruirui insisted on coming.
At that time, she hadn't seen her friends for a long time, and Shen Qingli would occasionally call her.
But what they talked about more was what happened between her and Gu Zijin.
Since the college entrance examination, Xia Ruirui has never seen Shen Yuqing again.
Although she knew it would be better for both of them not to see each other, she still came to the teacher's appreciation banquet.
Because I want to see him again, even if we don’t say anything.
What Shen Yuqing didn't know was that before attending the class reunion that day, Xia Ruirui had been standing in front of the mirror in the cloakroom since 12 noon.
Just to pick out the piece of clothing that she thinks is the best in her wardrobe.
She dressed up to reject him.
She didn't expect Shen Yuqing to confess to her, and her heart was bleeding when she rejected him.
At the age of 18, Shen Yuqing was only concerned with hiding his embarrassment, but he didn't notice that Xia Ruirui's eyes were red after he turned around.
That day, both of them had red eyes, but they were walking in opposite directions.
After Shen Yuqing left, Ji Chuyao also came.
He originally wanted to confess his love to Xia Ruirui, but after seeing the crimson corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose, he realized that it was impossible for him.
So he just stood beside her, silently accompanying her.
It was not until Xia Ruirui's eyes were no longer red that he half-jokingly joked to the two of them.
"What? Did the couple have a fight?"
"Is there any gap I can take advantage of?"
The chill of early autumn wind seeped into people's bones, but Xia Ruirui's mood calmed down in this bleak coldness.
Hearing this, she smiled slightly and teased back, "We will make peace."
'When I recover from my illness.'
But she didn't say the second half of the sentence, more like she was comforting herself...
*
My thoughts were interrupted by the vibration of my phone.
Xia Ruirui glanced down and saw that it was Shen Yuqing again, still using his fake account of 'Lonely Wolf' to send the message.
"You like your ex so much?"
She was feeling a little sad at first, but when she saw the message he sent her, she burst into laughter and fell down on the sofa beside her.
This is an act of impatience.
But she saw through it but didn't say it out loud. There was a voice in her heart telling her: Maybe it's time to reconcile with him.
It was hard for him to accompany her for three years in disguise using a trumpet.
It was not he who caused her pain, but she who caused him pain.
He has been by her side silently for three years. It's time to give that idiot a name.
But before that, she wanted to tease him and punish him for deceiving her for the past three years.
Xia Ruirui glanced at the message sent by Shen Yuqing and replied before he could break his defense.
But she did not answer his question honestly, instead she threw another question at him.
“Lone Wolf, have you heard of that e-sports blogger Shen Yuqing?”
There was silence on the other side for a long time.
Of course Xia Ruirui knew why he hadn't spoken for so long, but she didn't point it out to him.
While waiting for his reply, she hummed a little tune leisurely.
After a while, the other party finally replied: "I know, I am his fan."
In the apartment, Xia Ruirui saw his reply and laughed uncontrollably, but her hands continued typing calmly.
"What do you think he looks like?"
After a while, the other side said: "I think he looks pretty good."
She was originally drinking water, but she almost spit the water onto her tablet when she heard this. After she finished laughing, she started typing: "My ex is better looking than him."
She wasn't lying. Xia Ruirui felt from the bottom of her heart that the 18-year-old Shen Yuqing was more flamboyant and unbridled than the 26-year-old Shen Yuqing.
He is too introverted now.
Even his eyes, which used to be as alluring as a vixen, are now hidden behind his ascetic and old-fashioned face.
Xia Ruirui still remembered that he had charmed her so much that she couldn't walk with just a glance.
She was still waiting for the other party's answer, but he suddenly stopped replying.
After a while, she was almost asleep, but was woken up by the vibration sound of her cell phone.
"Really?"
Without any punctuation, Xia Ruirui could already foresee the sound of someone gritting their teeth behind the screen.
He probably thought she said Ji Chuyao was prettier than him, and he was so angry that he couldn't reveal that he was Shen Yuqing.
So a person sulks in secret.
Xia Ruirui originally thought that today’s confrontation was enough and didn’t want to reply again, but she didn’t expect Shen Yuqing to send another message.
"Then why did you and your ex break up?"
She couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing that, and thought about giving him some clues so that he could guess that her ex was him.
"He and I have different taste preferences. He prefers lighter food, but I like spicy food."
This time the other party responded quickly: "Is it because of this?"
Of course not, she said that just to tease him.
But she couldn't say this directly, and it was already 1 a.m., and Xia Ruirui was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
She was originally forcing herself to reply to his message, as she was so sleepy that she felt like she would fall asleep in the next second.
"Let's talk about it next time. I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to sleep first."
"good."
This was not an excuse or a refusal. After Xia Ruirui replied to the message, she threw the tablet aside and fell asleep the next second.
In the dim room, the air from the air conditioner blew quietly.
*
The next day, as soon as Xia Ruirui woke up, she subconsciously opened the game interface.
Lone Wolf was not online as usual.
Could it be that Shen Yuqing hasn't woken up yet?
Xia Ruirui glanced at the time. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Logically, he should have woken up.
Although someone is a host, his schedule seems to be healthier than hers.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Yuqing hasn’t woken up yet, but Xia Ruirui also wants to stay in bed.
She lingered in bed for a while, and when she was completely awake, she lay down and browsed her Moments for a while.
Dong Jiawei posted a circle of friends, which was a photo of him and class monitor Yao Hui.
The text reads: His princess weighs a full 7 kilograms!
Xia Ruirui clicked on the photo and enlarged it. It was taken in the obstetrics and gynecology department. The squad leader Yao Hui was holding their daughter, and Dong Jiawei was holding the squad leader.
Realizing that the squad leader had given birth, she looked at the baby with mixed feelings.
The class monitor in my memory is still the gentle yet strict little girl who sat on the podium.
In the blink of an eye, she has become a mother.
But it was a happy occasion after all. Even though she looked a little haggard, she could not hide the joy and maternal love on her face.
Xia Ruirui glanced at Dong Jiawei's comment section and saw a stream of congratulations. She also silently left her blessings along with the team.
I don’t know what day it was yesterday, but many people posted on WeChat Moments. Xia Ruirui scrolled through several of them before she saw someone else’s WeChat Moments post today.
The first one is a nine-grid photo of hot pot, with a total of nine photos showing various types of Sichuan hot pot.
There is not much difference, except that the hot pot in every photo is covered with red peppers, the kind that can give people hemorrhoids at first glance.
Because Xia Ruirui had hemorrhoids, she rarely ate spicy food after being discharged from the hospital.
But when I saw it by chance, I couldn't help but feel greedy.
She swallowed her saliva and wondered who started eating hot pot at noon.
It’s so spicy, I’m really not afraid of getting hemorrhoids.
She raised her eyes and found that the person who posted this circle of friends was Shen Yuqing.
You know, Shen Yuqing is the one who never posts on WeChat Moments for many years.
Not only after adding her, even in high school, this guy rarely posted on WeChat Moments.
It was only once when he went out to play with her that he posted a selfie with her on his WeChat Moments under her coercion and inducement.
If I look through it now, I can still find the selfie from that day.
When she came across the photo, she also found it incredible that so many years had passed and he hadn't deleted the photo yet.
What kind of invincible conservative diehard is this, Yu Qing.
After realizing that this was a circle of friends posted by Shen Yuqing, Xia Ruirui even clicked on the photos in his nine-square grid and enlarged them one by one.
It seemed to be just a simple hot pot, except that it looked very spicy.
Realizing something, Xia Ruirui felt it was unlikely.
…until I saw his comments section.
He had hotpot at 9 o'clock in the morning. Shen Qingli and Gu Zijin commented on his post shortly after he posted it.
Shen Qingli: [Don't you always order clear soup? ]
Gu Zijin: [I’m afraid he’s having a seizure.]
Chen Yuqing: [In recent years, I have fallen in love with spicy hot pot.]
Shen Qingli: [???]
Realizing that someone was arguing with what she said yesterday, Xia Ruirui burst out laughing, and the whole apartment was filled with her laughter.
——[He and I have different taste preferences. He prefers lighter food, but I like spicy food.]
——[In recent years, I have fallen in love with spicy hot pot. 】
…
On the other side, Shen Qingli looked at her comments. Shen Yuqing didn't reply again, and she began to murmur in her heart.
She asked Gu Ziqing beside her, "What do you think Chen Yuqing is doing? After several years, he suddenly posted a circle of friends."
Without even looking up, Gu Zijin looked at the form in his hand and said, "What else could it be? Dog training literature."
"What?" Shen Qingli was even more confused.
Gu Zijin finally put down the report in his hand after hearing this. Looking at his fiancée who was wearing a headband and applying a facial mask, he said patiently:
"Of course, Xia Ruirui is taming Shen Yuqing, the 'shen dog' again."
“…”
Shen Qingli didn't say whether she believed it or not: "Then what does it mean when he posts hot pot? Is he hinting that Ruirui should eat hot pot with him?"
Gu Zijin shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Seeing that the hair at her temples was wet by the mask, he gently tucked that strand of hair behind her ear.
"Maybe it's just the fun between them as a young couple."
“…”
"Sending hot pot is fun, how is that possible!" Shen Qingli raised her eyebrows, still a little unconvinced.
She was so anxious about the gossip in her heart that after a short hesitation she sent a WeChat message to the "dog trainer mentioned by Gu Zijin".
"Rui Rui, what are you doing? Chen Yuqing is showing off here. He hasn't sent a single WeChat message in eight hundred years."
"And hasn't he always been averse to spicy food? Did he suddenly order a spicy hot pot out of the blue? Or is it abnormally spicy?"
Xia Ruirui's smile, which had just stopped, became even more wanton when she saw this.
She looked at the text message Shen Qingli sent her, and pretended to be innocent and replied with an emoticon, indicating that she didn't know either.
Although Shen Qingli is a lawyer, she trusts her friend very much. She believed what he said and showed Gu Zijin their chat records.
"Ruirui said she didn't do anything."
Gu Zijin laughed out of anger when he heard this.
My fiancée is so ruthless at work, but she becomes completely heartless in front of people she knows.
He couldn't help but ruffle her hair with his hands and said pointedly:
"If Xia Ruirui really didn't know, Shen Yuqing wouldn't have been teased by her every time in high school."
Shen Qingli thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, but Xia Ruirui didn't want to say it, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask any more questions.
In the apartment in Beiyi City, Xia Ruirui was still carefully looking at the nine-square grid sent by someone.
Thinking of Shen Yuqing's swollen lips and tongue swollen from the spiciness, she couldn't help but keep laughing.
The next second, her phone fell to the ground with a thud because of excessive joy...
Xia Ruirui picked it up and took a look. The screen was shattered and replacing it would probably cost a thousand yuan. Her smile faded a little.
