Volume 1 Chapter 118 I told you you're not happy
Du Ruo completely treated this banquet as an academic exchange meeting.
Enlightenment is the most essential meaning of academic exchange.
She doesn't understand funds and stocks, nor does she understand new trends, but she is well aware of the latest research results and directions in various fields in the world today.
She exchanged ideas with several seniors in the same field, and benefited greatly from the collision of ideas between Chinese and Western education.
Around 9 p.m., Xu Hongjian, as the host of the banquet, prepared to go on stage to give a speech to thank all the guests for coming. People gathered in the middle of the hall.
Du Ruo had been talking to someone before, and Xu Jingmo was afraid that her mouth would be dry, so he kept refilling her with water and drinks. As a result, she was now relaxed and wanted to go to the bathroom very much, the kind that she couldn't hold it in.
She looked embarrassed, and Xu Jingmo noticed it keenly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Du Ruo whispered, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Xu Jingmo said, "Let's go to my room. The downstairs is shared."
"Okay." Du Ruo nodded.
Xu Jingmo took her away from the crowd, quietly took the elevator to the fourth floor, and took her back to his bedroom.
Du Ruo went into the bathroom, and he said through the door: "Grandpa can send the guests away after you finish talking. I have to go downstairs to help. You can rest in the room. I will come up to you when I am done."
"Okay." Du Ruo responded obediently.
Xu Jingmo went downstairs alone.
After Du Ruo came out of the bathroom, he looked around his bedroom.
The house is clean and tidy, but it is obvious that it is not a permanent residence.
There were only basic toiletries and some clothes to change into, not even as many as his current house. There weren't even any childhood photos that were full of memories, let alone any electronic devices.
Du Ruo's cell phone was still in Xu Jingmo's suit pocket. There was nothing to pass the time in the room. She had nothing to do, so she wanted to go out and take a look.
The corridor on the fourth floor was extremely quiet. She had just discovered when she followed Xu Jingmo upstairs that their elevator had a password. He said that it was added after Li Mancen climbed into his bed, to prevent ignorant strangers from running upstairs during banquets.
Du Ruo couldn't just wander around casually like she did at home, so she had no choice but to go back to Xu Jingmo's bedroom and wait for him. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly heard a sneeze.
She paused and looked curiously into the corridor. It was completely silent.
A few minutes later, faint sobbing sounds were heard, echoing in the empty corridor.
Du Ruo's curiosity was aroused. Is their old house haunted?!
She walked quietly deeper into the corridor, her sobbing becoming louder and louder.
She walked to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a bedroom door. There was no light on inside. With the dim light in the corridor, Du Ruo's night blindness was not enough for her to see the whole picture of the house.
All I could clearly know was that someone was crying inside, and it was a girl.
Only the host family can go upstairs, girls...
"Sister Daiyue?" Du Ruo asked tentatively.
"Ah!!! Ghost!!!" Xu Daiyue shivered with fear on the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and looked towards the door.
Du Ruo was standing in the shadows. She could see clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. She complained, "Why are you so scary all of a sudden?"
Du Ruo Wugui said: "I heard crying and thought it was a ghost."
Xu Daiyue asked, "How did you get up here?"
Du Ruo: "Xu Jingmo brought me up here."
Xu Daiyue curled her lips and said nothing.
Du Ruo asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you come downstairs?"
Xu Daiyue snorted softly: "It doesn't matter whether I go downstairs or not."
Du Ruo: "How can it be unimportant? Aren't you the host?"
Xu Daiyue laughed at herself sourly, "My grandfather won't praise me even if I'm polite. He doesn't care if I'm not polite. What's the point of me not being able to get down? I'm not as important as you."
"Ah..." Du Ruo let out a long sigh and said in a positive tone, "So you are jealous."
"Why am I jealous? Jealous of you? You must be joking!" Xu Daiyue consciously retorted. "Who do you think you are? I am jealous of you. Don't think that just because Xu Jingmo likes you, you can do whatever you want."
Du Ruoyu calmed down and said softly, "Can I interrupt you for a moment to discuss something?"
"What?" Xu Daiyue was a little cautious.
"Can you turn on the light in your room? I have night blindness. I can only hear sounds but can't see people. It really looks like a haunted house."
“………”
Xu Daiyue could clearly see the expression on Du Ruo's face. She raised her eyebrows in embarrassment, looking troubled. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open, but her gaze was unfocused, as if she was trying hard to find her figure, but really couldn't find her.
The anger in Xu Daiyue's heart was inexplicably suppressed, and she even felt like laughing.
She pressed the switch beside the bed and the lights in the room came on brightly.
Du Ruo saw her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Daiyue invited in a proud tone, "Come in."
"Thank you." Du Ruo walked in calmly and found out after a casual glance that Xu Daiyue's bedroom seemed to be three times the size of Xu Jingmo's. There was also an outdoor swimming pool on the balcony, a cloakroom, dolls, a reception sofa... It was truly a princess's bedroom.
Du Ruo sat on the sofa, looked at Xu Daiyue who was half lying on the bed, stared at her for a long time, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xu Daiyue felt uneasy at the look in her eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Du Ruo: "You're not happy after I told you."
Xu Daiyue: "How do you know if I'm happy or not if you don't tell me?"
Du Ruo pointed at her face and said softly, "Your makeup has been ruined by crying. Now you really look like a female ghost."
"..."Xu Daiyue jumped up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
