Volume 1 Chapter 154 The First Bowl of Dog Food in the New Year
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jingmo and Du Ruo came to the high-speed rail station to pick up Shi Rui.
Xu Jingmo sent him the specific location and waited for him in the parking lot.
When Shi Rui came over according to the location, he saw from a distance that there was a girl sitting in the co-pilot seat of Xu Jingmo's car. She was wearing a duckbill cap and her face could not be seen clearly.
However, the two seemed to be talking and laughing about something, and Xu Jingmo even pinched the girl's ear affectionately, with a worthless look on his face.
He was immediately enraged and rushed over with the intention of catching someone committing adultery.
Xu Jingmo caught a glimpse of his figure and got out of the car to greet him.
As soon as I got out of the car, someone grabbed me by the collar and blocked me against the door, asking, "How dare you bring someone to pick me up?! Second brother, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Xu Jingmo pushed his hand away and said nonchalantly, "What am I afraid of?"
Shi Rui had never seen someone who cheated so confidently, he snorted, "Don't think that I will definitely side with you just because we are roommates. I really want to tell my sister about it. I am just giving you a chance to explain."
Xu Jingmo looked calm and replied nonchalantly: "Okay, go ahead and sue her. See if she believes it or not."
Shi Rui was like a punch on cotton, unable to move his muscles. He threatened angrily, "Just wait for moral condemnation. Your CP fans in our school will block your door and curse you to death. Be careful not to walk at night. Getting beaten up is the least of your worries. You will end up missing an arm or a leg..."
He kept chanting incantations, and Xu Jingmo couldn't help but knock on the car window and said, "Have you seen enough of the excitement? If you don't come out, your boyfriend will be cursed into a bad luck."
Du Ruo held back her laughter, pushed the door and got out of the car, and waved to Shi Rui across the roof of the car, "Hi, long time no see~"
Shi Rui was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xu Jingmo and then at Du Ruo.
Du Ruo laughed and said, "Why, you can't recognize my voice, and you even forgot what I look like?"
“Ahhhhhh!!” Shi Rui screamed and hugged Xu Jingmo tightly, shouting, “Fuck! Fuck! Second brother! I knew you weren’t that kind of person!!”
Xu Jingmo distanced himself from him in disgust, laughed, and said mockingly, "No, I'm not worthy of being your friend."
Shi Rui was so excited that he wanted to hug him. He smiled and said, "No, I blamed you wrongly. You are a big man and don't bear grudges. Who told you to hide the truth from me? You made me misunderstand something that could be explained clearly in one sentence."
Xu Jingmo looked at the instigator helplessly and thought, it was just someone who had a whim and wanted to see who Shi Rui would help.
Du Ruo also frankly admitted, "Don't blame him. I told him not to say it. Who told you that you can't even recognize my voice? I just wanted to see if you would help me if Xu Jingmo really cheated on me. Haha, you are so kind. You are a true friend. I must treat you to a big meal as a reward."
Shi Rui: "Sister, I am wronged. I haven't seen you for half a year. Isn't it normal that I can't recognize your voice? Don't worry, if my second brother dares to cheat, I will organize all the boys in the school to beat him up for you."
As he said this, he was still hugging Xu Jingmo tightly.
"Then you have no chance. Forget it." Xu Jingmo sneered and said coldly, "Can you please let me go?"
Shi Rui: "Please understand. I am excited. I can't hug my sister, right?"
Xu Jingmo endured it.
After a brief reunion, Xu Jingmo first sent him to the hotel to check in, and then the three of them went out to eat seafood.
After arriving at the hotel and sitting down, Shi Rui was still excited and couldn't help asking carefully: "Sister, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in the group? We were still chatting about you in the group during the Chinese New Year, and we thought you were spending the New Year abroad."
Du Ruo: "I just came back not long ago. I plan to contact you after you start school."
Shi Rui clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that I am the first person to know that you are back. If I hadn't come here suddenly, you would have been kept in the dark. Tsk tsk, I am already curious about their reactions, hahahaha."
Xu Jingmo asked curiously, "School is still ten days away, why are you back so early?"
Shi Rui: "If you want to come back, then come back. Can't I play with you?"
While Xu Jingmo was picking shrimp for Du Ruo, he said with disdain: "Come on, what's the fun of having sex with you? You didn't come back early on purpose because you missed your girlfriend? Are you using me as an excuse to your family?"
Shi Rui choked and said faintly: "You are quite smart."
Xu Jingmo smiled faintly and said nothing.
Shi Rui sighed again, as if the king crab in his mouth suddenly became tasteless. Looking at the affectionate couple opposite him, he said with a sour tone: "My girlfriend doesn't miss me, so I just came here to play with you."
Xu Jingmo raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and Du Ruo also waited for his explanation with a puzzled look.
Shi Rui said: "I was planning to come early and go on a trip with Jian Yu, but she refused, saying that her parents would not agree and she could not come back until school started."
Xu Jingmo: "She's a girl, so it's normal for her family to be strict with her."
Shi Rui sighed, "Yes, I can understand not going far away. But I really feel that being in a relationship is like being a thief. During our vacation, I called her and sent her videos secretly. I was the one talking the whole time, and she didn't even say a word, only texting, saying that someone was at home and she was afraid to hear. If her parents suddenly went to her room, she would hang up the phone without mercy. I deliberately gave her a surprise and went to meet her, but she could only spare an hour a day to meet me, and we would just have a meal. She would stand one meter away from me when we walked on the street. During the two-month winter vacation, I was having a secret relationship every day. Am I that shameful?"
Du Ruo said: "Then didn't you ask her the reason?"
Shi Rui: "I did ask her. She said she didn't want to tell her parents about her relationship for now because she was afraid that her abnormality would be discovered. They live in a small town and it's easy to run into acquaintances when they go out. She asked me not to visit her so suddenly in the future."
Du Ruo was puzzled: "Why?"
Shi Rui's expression became even more depressed. "She said it hasn't come to that."
In fact, they had a big fight about it.
He felt that Jian Yu didn't like him enough, and didn't even dare to mention his existence to her family. They weren't in a premature relationship, so there was nothing to hide.
Jian Yu also felt that he didn't like her enough and didn't understand her pressure.
It has been less than a year since they met and started dating. They don't know each other or have adjusted to each other. Now they are just happily dating and have not even mentioned it to their parents.
Shi Rui asked unhappily, "What do you mean? When you are in a relationship, you don't think about the possibility of getting married in the future, but think about the possibility of breaking up first?"
Jian Yu said rationally: "We can hold on until we graduate."
Shi Rui: "Do you need to persist in dating me? Do I make you lose confidence?"
Jian Yu: "Shi Rui, can you be more mature? We have different backgrounds, different schools, different majors, and different hometowns. Haven't you heard that graduation season is breakup season? And the possibility of getting married in the future, have you really thought about the future?"
"Your family is a dual-employee family in a new first-tier city, while ours is just an ordinary civil servant family in a small county town. We are guaranteed a stable income. I know my future plans very well. I just want to get a teaching certificate and become a teacher after graduation. What about you? You are a top student from a prestigious university. Can your employment development be as simple as mine? Will you go back home to develop or stay in a certain city to develop? Can you guarantee it?"
"Now you can't stand a long-distance relationship during the winter vacation. Will you break up with me directly if we are in a long-distance relationship in two cities in the future? What's the big deal about meeting your parents? We are not getting married. Can you guarantee that your parents will like me? Will they not care about my family? My parents are not so open-minded and knowledgeable. They can't accept the current social view of love. Have you ever thought about how I would explain to my parents if we break up in the future?"
Shi Rui said, "It's not that I can't bear it, I'm just trying to overcome it. I went to your city to see you, and you even planned the time to go out and see me. I tried my best not to let you suffer from long-distance relationship. What about you? Have you tried hard for our relationship?"
Jian Yu said: "This is the difference between you and me. You can do whatever you want, and moving from one city to another is as easy as eating a meal, because your family gives you the confidence. I can't. You say I don't work hard, but I can choose to fall in love with you even though I know in my heart that there is a huge gap between us. This is the greatest effort I have made for this relationship."
The two eventually parted ways unhappily. Shi Rui sent her WeChat messages every day, but no longer made video calls or phone calls. He hoped that she would take the initiative to look for him, just once, so that he would know that she was chosen by him. But Jian Yu never did that.
Feeling depressed, he wanted to ask Xu Jingmo for advice on how he managed to survive such a long-lasting long-distance relationship.
He thought that the two of them came here to sympathize with each other, but he didn't expect that they came here just to eat dog food.
Alas... my heart is bitter and my life is miserable.
His expression was hard to describe, but that didn't stop Xu Jingmo and Du Ruo from continuing to poke at his feelings.
Du Ruo said: "It hasn't come to that yet. You have only known each other for a short time, and the emotional adjustment period hasn't even passed yet."
Xu Jingmo said: "Who told you to be so unreliable? I guess it makes me feel insecure."
Shi Rui stared at them with resentment and said angrily, "Are there any people as comforting as you?"
Xu Jingmo said in a puzzled tone: "How can you tell that I am comforting you? I am clearly mocking you."
"..." Shi was so angry that he stabbed a piece of salmon with a fork.
He defended himself by saying, "What's wrong with me? I had never been in a relationship before her. I was just talking nonsense. In reality, I am a complete jerk."
Du Ruo said: "No, no, no, you are not just talking nonsense, you even gave me milk tea when you first met me... Do you often give milk tea to strange girls?"
“……”Puff, a knife.
Xu Jingmo had an ambiguous smile on his face and said in a weird tone, "Tsk tsk, who was it that said they were in love just by looking at a photo?"
“……”Puff, puff, two knives.
Shi Rui said madly: "I didn't even know Jian Yu at that time, and you are exhausted after all this. Besides, I was just attracted to her briefly, and I didn't take her seriously at all. If I took her seriously, how could I not even remember my sister's voice?"
Du Ruo snorted, "You might as well not explain. If you do, you'll look even worse."
Xu Jingmo took the opportunity to take credit and said, "Look, by comparison, am I particularly good at it?"
Du Ruo fed him a mouthful of sea urchin steamed egg with satisfaction using his own spoon and praised him, "Well, you are the best."
Puff puff puff, three slashes, Shi Rui was full of anger.
"You two have been childhood sweethearts, how many people can compare to you? As for those you met along the way, who doesn't have a dark history?" Shi Rui excused himself angrily.
Du Ruo nodded and said, "Indeed, people who always dwell on the past will never be happy."
Shi Rui's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth were about to curl up.
Xu Jingmo continued, "But the key point is that you haven't let people see the future either."
After saying that, he high-fived Du Ruo in tacit understanding.
Shi Rui was stabbed all over by the knife and was almost crying.
He said depressedly, "You two loving couple, can you share your secrets of happiness? You won't break up with me just because of me, right? I don't want to break up."
Xu Jingmo said: "That's not easy to do, just prescribe the right medicine for the right condition."
Shi Rui doesn't understand.
Du Ruo said: "Don't you think we have learned something from experience? Why would your second brother, whom you admire so much, have a crush on me?"
Shi Rui: "He has low self-esteem. You are so outstanding."
Du Ruo raised an eyebrow but did not comment.
Xu Jingmo said, "Not everyone is as outstanding as Du Ruo, but people are always compared to each other. Education, family background, height, appearance... all aspects, there are always comparisons. Jian Yu is right. Your family background and education are both a level higher than hers. As for her appearance, she is not as beautiful as you. You have to give her a sense of security, a sense of security that she is indispensable, so that she has the confidence to continue dating you."
"The best thing you did in this relationship was to confess your feelings first, letting her know that she was firmly chosen. But she still lacked confidence. The problems between you two just hadn't appeared yet, not that they didn't exist. But she anticipated them in advance, just because of her inferiority complex. You solved them one by one, and the relationship naturally got better."
Shi Rui understood a little, but also didn't understand a little, so he asked, "What exactly do you want to solve? My parents are not the kind of people who would judge people by their appearance. How can she guess that my parents are unhappy when she has never even met them? I can cooperate with her about graduation in the future. She can go to whichever city she wants."
Du Ruo asked: "If her parents want her to go back to the town, will you go with them? Are you willing to live there with no money for the rest of your life?"
Xu Jingmo also asked: "If, if your parents just don't agree, will you choose love or family? If you choose love, don't you still have a younger brother? Do you think your parents will cut off ties with you? How will you live after that? Let them suffer with you without a house or a car? How long can love without bread last? Don't you have a lot of things to solve?"
Shi Rui was so confused that he grabbed his hair and muttered, "I just want to have a relationship, why is it so troublesome..."
Xu Jingmo: "Dating without the purpose of getting married is just hooliganism."
Du Ruo: "We can't predict the future, but we have to have a direction. We have to think about where we want to stop and what's waiting for us on the shore. If you can't figure it out, others will definitely not understand it. If you really just want to have a relationship and play around out of curiosity, I advise you to break up as soon as possible and don't waste other people's youth, otherwise you will become a scumbag in the end."
Shi Rui was speechless for a while.
Finally, I sighed: "We are all the same age, why are you two sober?"
Xu Jingmo looked at Du Ruo, smiled, touched her head and said, "My girlfriend taught me well."
Du Ruo tilted her head to look at Xu Jingmo, touched his face and said, "My boyfriend is a good student."
Shi Rui said speechlessly: "I am really impressed."
He looked at the two of them showing off their affection with resentment, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the rings on their hands.
He was surprised and said, "Wait...wait...what is this???"
Xu Jingmo proudly shook the ring on his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm engaged."
Shi Rui: o(Д)っ!
That night, Shi Rui posted a message on WeChat Moments.
[Other people’s 19th birthday is a blur with an uncertain future. Someone’s 19th birthday is a perfect match, a perfect couple. I won’t say it anymore, I’m jealous!]

[Is someone referring to Xu? ]
Shi Rui: [Hehe.]

Shi Rui: [There's nothing wrong with being an unmarried couple. ]
[What does it mean to win at the starting line since childhood? ! Why didn’t God give me a childhood sweetheart! ! ! ]
Soon, the discussion moved from the circle of friends to the campus forum.
