Volume 1 Chapter 40 Those who play dirty have dirty hearts
"Are you angry?" Du Ruo looked at Xu Jingmo's tightly pursed lips and couldn't help but ask softly.
Xu Jingmo subconsciously clenched his hands, holding the softness in his palms, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Her hands were so small that he could completely cover them with one palm. They were also very soft. How could they be so soft? It was as if she had no bones. They were so soft and felt so good.
This was the first time that Xu Jingmo held Du Ruo's hand so seriously after he found out that he liked her. Sure enough, the feeling in his heart was completely different from when he was a child.
He is really in trouble.
Xu Jingmo even began to wonder if he had some kind of split personality disorder. He was the one who didn't want Du Ruo to find out about his feelings, and he was also the one who wanted to test her intentionally or unintentionally. Was there really something wrong with him?
For example, at this moment, if Du Ruo was so concerned about whether he was angry, he would be particularly happy, so happy that he said without thinking, "Ah, I am angry, do you want to comfort me?"
"...It's not me who made you angry." Du Ruo felt that he was very strange.
"Then why are you asking me?" Xu Jingmo continued to make inexplicable and unreasonable trouble.
"I..." Du Ruo was speechless for a moment. She didn't know why she asked. Anyway, now she regretted asking him! !
Du Ruo realized belatedly the strength on his hand, she lowered her eyes to look at the hand that was held by Xu Jingmo, and naturally pulled away gently. She had to control herself, she would get used to having some unintentional physical contact with him all the time.
Xu Jingmo was not surprised when his hands were empty. He calmly put his hands into his coat pockets and said, "You choose. I'll wait for you at the cashier."
Du Ruo didn't move, and asked again: "Why are you angry?"
Xu Jingmo glanced at her and said slowly, "You don't plan to coax me. I'm still angry and don't want to tell you."
“……” Damn you!!
Du Ruo was so angry that she ignored him and turned to walk to the display stand to choose styles of underwear.
She normally changes her underwear into a new one every month, and usually uses a special underwear washing and sterilizing machine.
During the few days I've been staying at Xu Jingmo's place, I've been washing my hands by hand. It's a psychological effect. I always feel that hand washing without disinfection procedures is not clean enough, so I plan to prepare a few more new sets and replace them frequently.
While he was choosing, another group of customers walked into the store. When a few girls saw Xu Jingmo, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Wow, look, there's a handsome guy over there."
"I saw it, I saw it, oh my god! He looks like a male model. Do you want his contact information?"
"No, it's too embarrassing to come to a store like this and chat up girls. Besides, he's a man, and he's in a lingerie store. He's either here with someone or he's a pervert. Forget it, let's just wait and see."
Du Ruo raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Xu Jingmo, and saw him leaning lazily on the bar. Noticing a new customer coming into the store, she took out her cell phone and played with it. If Du Ruo hadn't known clearly what his red ears meant, she would have thought that he was as calm on the inside as he looked on the outside.
The salesperson naturally heard the conversations of the girls nearby and joined in the praise, saying, "Your boyfriend is really handsome, and you are so pretty too. A handsome guy and a beautiful girl, you are a perfect match."
Du Ruo didn't explain.
If she said, "He's not my boyfriend," others would probably look at Xu Jingmo in an even stranger way.
This is also the difference between domestic and foreign environments.
Maybe it's because I've been abroad for too long and have been influenced by the people around me, so I didn't feel embarrassed to let Xu Jingmo know that I was here to buy underwear. No matter if it's a man or a woman, everyone is going to take off clothes.
One time, her senior sister wore a leopard print bra, and the shoulder strap accidentally opened and hung down. When the men in the laboratory saw it, they just sincerely complimented her that she was dressed very sexy, and there was no ridicule or jokes about her embarrassing behavior.
It has to be said that one of the rare advantages of white people is that they like to compliment others. Even if it is a simple hairstyle like changing your hair down to a ponytail, people will compliment you that you are more beautiful today than yesterday, and they rarely make others feel embarrassed.
After selecting the style, telling the shopping guide his size, and finding new stock, Du Ruo took the items to the cashier to check out.
Xu Jingmo noticed someone approaching, raised his eyes and looked over, and at a glance he saw the sets of underwear in Du Ruo's hands, the top one was a white lace bra.
Xu Jingmo looked away and calmly took out his card to pay, but his mind couldn't help but recall the soft touch he accidentally felt last night, and his ears turned red again.
Du Ruo looked at his ears that looked like they were roasted and couldn't help but smile. Compared with the classmates she had met abroad, Xu Jingmo was really innocent and adorable.
After buying the things and walking out of the store, the woman with long black hair and Xu Daiyue were no longer outside.
Du Ruo turned her head and glanced at Xu Jingmo. She was really curious about what the girl had done to make Xu Jingmo so rude.
The two went to the kitchenware store downstairs and bought some daily necessities such as sand pots and thermoses, and finished their shopping.
There were so many things bought that even if Xu Jingmo had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult to buy them all, so he had to hand it over to the store manager to arrange for the delivery to his home.
After handing it over to the mall manager, Du Ruo glimpsed an arcade on the first floor. She tugged at Xu Jingmo's sleeve and said, "I want to grab the doll."
"Okay."
Xu Jingmo scanned the QR code via WeChat, exchanged it for 100 game coins, and gave them to her.
Du Ruo gave him 50 coins and asked him, "Do you know how to play?"
"Who are you looking down on?" Xu Jingmo smiled helplessly. There was nothing he didn't know how to catch dolls. Although he had never played it before, he could learn it by watching.
Du Ruo raised an eyebrow, "What about Bibi?"
Xu Jingmo: “?”
Du Ruo said: "Let's compare these 50 coins to see who can catch more dolls."
After talking big and acting cool, Xu Jingmo was now in a difficult situation and could only respond with a nonchalant tone.
Du Ruo ignored him and went straight to the claw machine to pick out the doll she liked. After choosing a machine, she put in the game coins, moved the hook, grabbed the doll, and with a shake, the doll fell off.
Xu Jingmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her level was just average. She must have just been in a spur of the moment contest. He thought that he would not lose too badly.
He also looked around and picked a claw machine in the opposite direction. There was a Bunny Rabbit in it. He remembered that Du Ruo liked the bunny doll very much when he was a child. He wondered if he still liked it now.
Insert game coins to start moving the hook.
The first time, I didn’t catch him.
The second time, he was not caught.
The third time, I almost caught him.
The fourth time, I almost caught it.
…
Xu Jingmo tried several times in a row, but when he saw that he had almost used up half of his game coins, he still hadn't caught any. This thing was harder than he had imagined. He thought he had found the right angle and held on tightly, but he still fell!
He was so angry that his temper came out. He kept fighting against the machine and refused to stop until he caught it. He didn't notice that a staff member had already followed behind Du Ruo on the other side and started to help put the dolls into bags.
Five coins at a time, the 50 coins were quickly used up. Fortunately, God was on his side, and at the last try, Xu Jingmo swung the grappling hook at an extremely tricky angle and finally succeeded in catching one. Finally, it was not too embarrassing.
He bent down and picked up the doll. Just as he was about to show it off proudly to Du Ruo, he turned around and saw Du Ruo holding a big bag filled with all kinds of dolls. He was standing there, looking at him with a playful look in his eyes. He didn't know how long he looked at him.
"..." Xu Jingmo was stunned, shook his head helplessly and laughed, and gave her a thumbs up, "I give in."
Du Ruo chuckled, handed him the doll bag, and said, "Here, I give it to you. Don't be angry."
Xu Jingmo raised his eyebrows at her in surprise and couldn't help laughing: "Are you treating me like a little girl?"
Du Ruo said: "Aren't you having a lot of fun too? You're really into it."
“…”
Seeing is believing, and facts cannot be refuted.
Xu Jingmo took the bag and took a quick look. There were eight dolls inside. He couldn't help but ask, "You didn't deliberately miss the first one to make me let down my guard, did you?"
Du Ruo glanced at him dimly.
Xu Jingmo asked: "What kind of look?"
Du Ruo complained: "People who play dirty have dirty hearts. Do you think I am you?"
Xu Jingmo was not convinced and argued cunningly: "Hey, what are you talking about? How did I get dirty? Also, how did my heart get dirty?"
Du Ruo: "You can't afford it."
In the past, she just lost and that was it, but now she can even play tactics and get back at the horse rifle. You still doubt her! ! Tsk tsk, she is despicable! !
Xu Jingmo: "Are you trying to coax me or are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"
Du Ruo asked: "Did you coax her?"
Xu Jingmo deliberately said: "No, I am even more angry. If you let me win, maybe I will be fine."
Du Ruo snatched the doll bag back and snorted, "Then you can be angry. Even little girls are not as irritable as you. You are as narrow-minded as a pinhole. I'll just piss you off to death. I won't coax you anymore."
"You're trying to coax someone halfway? Whatever is given to me is mine." Xu Jingmo snatched the bag back again and held it tightly under his arm to prevent her from taking it away.
Shameless!!!
Du Ruo couldn't understand. He should have taken the initiative to coax her because she couldn't drink coffee, right? Why did he turn against her? She was not used to him anymore, so she went forward to grab it, but Xu Jingmo hid.
The two of them inexplicably started to fight again. The handsome man and beautiful woman easily attracted the attention of passers-by, and they were holding a big bag of dolls and pulling them, so it was hard not to notice them. As the crowd of onlookers grew, the two people who were extremely concerned about their reputation decided to "truce" tacitly and go home to fight again!
