Volume 1, Chapter 155: A match made in heaven, soul mates
Time comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
At five o'clock in the morning, Du Ruo and Xu Jingmo were still immersed in sweet dreams when the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly started buzzing.
Du Ruo struggled impatiently from Xu Jingmo's warm embrace, turned around, and pulled up the quilt to cover herself completely.
The softness in his arms suddenly disappeared. Xu Jingmo frowned slightly, reached out to pull her back and hugged her again. At the same time, his other hand reached for the phone and glanced at the caller ID.
When the call was connected, he said in an unhappy tone, "You'd better be busy."
There was a sharp voice coming from the other end of the receiver, and there was some noise in the background. I could vaguely hear the sound of an announcement, as if it was at a train station.
"Second brother, you don't need to come to see me this morning. I bought the earliest high-speed rail ticket and I'm going to find Jian Yu."
"Oh, I see."
Xu Jingmo hung up the phone without any curiosity, and reached his hand under the quilt and put it on Du Ruo's waist. Just as he was about to continue to sleep, Du Ruo suddenly pulled back the quilt, with messy hair on top, and asked in a daze: "What did he just say?"
"He said he was going to look for Jian Yu."
Du Ruo rubbed his eyes and asked curiously, "Do you think they can reconcile this time when he goes there?"
"I don't know." Xu Jingmo responded nonchalantly, burying his face in the hollow of her neck and rubbing it. Just as his hand was about to move up along her waistline, Du Ruo ruthlessly slapped it away.
"Why don't you care?"
"I'm not a matchmaker, why should I worry about other people's love affairs?" Xu Jingmo muttered in dissatisfaction.
"They are not other people, they are all friends." Du Ruo said puzzledly.
"For us guys, a brother is someone you can lend money to when you're short of money, help out when you're fighting, drink with when you're in a bad mood, be the best man at your wedding, and help with funeral arrangements after you die. That's all we need."
"He's just in love, he's not going astray, I don't need to care too much, if I get too involved I'll lose interest."
Du Ruoqian sighed and asked, "If they really break up, can I still be friends with them?"
"What's the problem? What does it have to do with you?" Xu Jingmo asked puzzledly.
Du Ruo: "Isn't that the same plot in TV shows? The heroine breaks up with the hero, and the hero's friends start to dislike the hero, and the hero's friends start to dislike the heroine, and the two sides become incompatible."
Xu Jingmo couldn't help laughing and explained, "At that time, Rui wasn't a scumbag. Even if we broke up, it should have been a peaceful breakup. We wouldn't have cut off contact with each other forever."
"The two of them are now in the adjustment period. They have different values and living habits since childhood, so it is normal for friction to arise."
"It's not easy for two different people to merge together. No one is born knowing everything. They have to grow up."
"If it's handled well, their hearts will be closer, and they will be able to withstand any difficulties in the future. If it's not handled well... just take it as a lesson, and you have to learn how to love someone correctly."
"Although TV dramas are based on real life, life is not all as bloody as TV dramas. Don't overthink it. No one will force you to choose between two options and keep only one person as a friend. You can play with whoever you want. There is no delay."
Du Ruo rested her head on his arm, sighed deeply, and asked curiously, "So who do you think has the problem between them?"
Xu Jingmo obviously had no interest in their affairs, and he tried to move his hand upwards again. Du Ruo tutted and pinched him unhappily, "I'm asking you something serious."
Xu Jingmo pinched her face and asked, "Are you too idle? Why are you worrying so much? If you are bored, I will accompany you to have some fun."
Du Ruo pouted and said, "It's not that I'm free, it's just that since we've encountered this, let's discuss it. What if we encounter the same problem in the future? We can learn from others' lessons."
Xu Jingmo said confidently: "It is impossible for us to encounter the same problem."
Du Ruo looked at him puzzledly, "Tell me, where does your confidence come from?"
Seeing her serious expression, Xu Jingmo half-sat up helplessly, leaned against the headboard and cooled his temper silently, while discussing with her: "In my opinion, both of you have big problems."
Du Ruo lay on her side, looked at him and said, "I'm all ears."
Xu Jingmo casually tangled his fingertips in her hair and said, "You should understand Shi Rui after being in contact with him for such a long time. He is not unreliable, but he is indeed unruly. On the one hand, it is due to his personality, and on the other hand, it is due to his family relationship. His parents love each other, and he has never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child. They dote on him and think he is quite outstanding. People like him grow up surrounded by love."
"But there are pros and cons. To put it in a positive way, his family environment is good, the whole family is united, his heart is sunny, and he is full of positive energy all the time. Anyone who marries into his family will not have a bad life. To put it in a negative way, if he doesn't encounter some setbacks, he will not grow up and his heart is extremely childish."
"He has a good family, so he is used to relying on his parents. If he has a cold and calls from his dorm to say he wants chicken soup, his mom can make it at home and send it to him in a thermos by train. Similarly, he has been in college for a year now, but he still hasn't learned how to use a washing machine. He just brings all the clothes and quilts in his dorm home and asks his mom to wash them and send them back. He doesn't think there is any problem at all."
"As for Jian Yu, I didn't meet her much, but from the few gatherings we had, I could tell she was very caring. I remember one time when we were having dinner, you were about to pick up the lotus root box, but someone turned the turntable and you didn't move. And before I could pick it up for you, Jian Yu turned the turntable back and the lotus root box was right in front of you. That's when I realized this girl was considerate."
"People like Shi Rui are envied by outsiders, but they don't think he's a big deal as a friend. But Jian Yu is his girlfriend, and if they get to know each other more, one is childish and willful, while the other is mature and sensitive, they will definitely get tired, or both of them will get tired."
Du Ruo said: "But being able to be in a relationship together means that there is still a different relationship than just friendship. The two of us should respect and understand each other, and it won't end up to the point of breaking up."
Xu Jingmo: "This is the second problem between them."
"As for Shi Rui, he has been clamoring for a relationship since the beginning of his freshman year. People who know him know that he is just talking nonsense, while those who don't know him think he is a weird person. And, to be honest, I can't tell whether he is in a relationship with Jian Yu because he likes her so much, or because he wants to be in a relationship so he picked a person who suits his taste the most."
"Security is something that is based on feelings, and outsiders cannot evaluate it. I don't know how the two of them get along with each other on a daily basis, and what Shi Rui did. Let's not talk about Shi Rui for now, let's talk about Jian Yu. In my opinion, this girl is just hypocritical."
"She said she had low self-esteem and didn't want Shi Rui to put pressure on her. In fact, in my opinion, she was the one who put pressure on Shi Rui. Since they chose to be together, both of them needed to manage the relationship. On the one hand, she said she was working hard for the relationship, but there was no real action. When there were problems in their relationship, she didn't clearly tell Shi Rui what she wanted him to change, but she subconsciously hoped that Shi Rui would be compatible with her, compatible with all of her. She even resorted to the cold war to solve the problem. What's the difference between cold-blooded disconnection and breaking up?"
"Tsk, the psychology of girls is different from that of boys after all. I won't comment on her. I don't know the whole story, so I won't comment on her."
Xu Jingmo pinched Du Ruo's earlobe and whispered, "I'm done. Let me tell you what you think. Why do you think such a problem can happen to the two of us? I don't think we will have such a problem in our lifetime. You have long corrected my bad habit of escaping. Tell me if there is anything else you are not satisfied with and I will definitely change it."
Du Ruo looked up at him, pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "It seems that it will not happen to us..."
Xu Jingmo is not someone who needs her to be backward compatible.
And she is also someone who can give Xu Jingmo enough sense of security.
They seemed to have automatically skipped the step of adjusting their relationship.
Du Ruo analyzed: "Is it because we grew up together? So----"
Before she finished speaking, Xu Jingmo suddenly pinched her mouth and complained in a wronged tone: "You insisted on talking to me, and I'm not sleepy anymore. Are you hungry? Get up and have breakfast?"
Du Ruo nodded.
Then, Xu Jingmo got up from the bed, pulled her up from the bed, carried her in a princess hug and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "Let's go wash up, together."
Du Ruo said: "You are clingy and you have to wash together with me."
Xu Jingmo stared at her and smiled, snorting, "Fairy, I shouldn't be paid for working for you. Feed me first, and I'll feed you."
Before Du Ruo could struggle, he was pulled into the warm bathtub.
As the water rippled, Xu Jingmo did not forget to continue the topic just now and said: "It has nothing to do with whether we are childhood sweethearts. Why don't you say that we are a match made in heaven? Look at this perfect tacit understanding."
Du Ruo's eyes were filled with tears and she bit him with a red face.
I was distracted and thought that if I could meet a soul mate in this life, I would be really, really, really lucky.
