Volume 1, Chapter 52 It is not accidental, it is inevitable.
Even though she didn't ask, Du Ruo's heart was as clear as a mirror and the answer was already clear.
There is a 99% chance that Xu Jingmo likes her.
Humph, he is not blind.
But she lacked substantial evidence to confirm her guess.
'Feeling good for her', this feeling is too empty.
She wondered if he was so nice to other people.
She also didn't know who his friends were. So far, the only ones she had contact with were his roommates and the couple Wen Fei and Ji Yunbai.
According to them, Xu Jingmo has no other friends of the opposite sex.
But they were friends that Xu Jingmo became acquainted with only after he returned to North City.
What about before? When he was in Jiangcheng, did Xu Jingmo have other friends of the opposite sex besides her?
Du Ruo wanted to know if he was special.
After all, Xu Jingmo is special to her.
She was thinking in her mind how to pry open his little secret.
When we arrived at the mall, Wen Fei and Ji Yunbai were already there.
The three of them went shopping together. Shopping with the two of them was far less efficient than shopping with Xu Jingmo.
Wen Fei especially likes to try on clothes. She will try on all the same styles and different colors and then choose the one she likes best. Similarly, if she is shopping for men's clothing, she will let Ji Yunbai try them and then choose the one she likes best.
In one hour, they visited three stores.
Du Ruoton felt terrified.
Wen Fei was trying on clothes in the fitting room, while Du Ruo and Ji Yunbai were sitting in the rest area waiting for her.
Du Ruo couldn't help but say, "At this time, you shouldn't be so generous and say to Sister Fei, 'Wife, you look good in anything you wear, all colors are covered.'"
Ji Yunbai couldn't help laughing: "Don't tell me that this is how Xu Jingmo bought clothes for you."
Du Ruo: "That's how it's played on TV." She caught the loophole in Ji Yun's words and asked back: "How did you know Xu Jingmo bought clothes for me?"
Ji Yunbai was stunned at first, but then he thought that Xu Jingmo was also in the group and must have known about it, but he didn't express his opinion. He thought it was not something that couldn't be said, so he told him everything: "We have a group of friends, and everyone in the group knows about it now. Some people even want to ask Feifei and me about you."
Du Ruo was puzzled: "Why are you asking about me?"
Ji Yunbai: "Curious. In North City, the Xu family is a top-tier wealthy family, and many people want to get close to them but can't find the opportunity. You are a new girl who has just arrived, and you have taken away a famous "hot potato" in the circle. There must be a lot of people curious. Including me and Wen Fei, we are also curious about you. We have never seen Xu Jingmo have such a close relationship with others, but we have no ill intentions, you understand?"
Du Ruo: "Yeah, I know." Then he said speechlessly: "People in your circle are really cunning."
Ji Yunbai chuckled and didn't deny it. "There's nothing we can do about it. With this environment, a simple person can't survive in this circle. Do you think Xu Jingmo is a simple person?"
Du Ruo didn't respond. She just thought that considering that Xu Jingmo was hiding so many little secrets from her, he must have 800 tricks up his sleeve.
Perhaps because of the few days of contact, Ji Yunbai had already recognized Du Ruo as a friend. So he rarely said something extra, reminding her, "Sister, everyone is curious, but no one dares to mess with you behind Ah Mo's back. However, if a girl named Li Mancen contacts you, stay away from her, she is the most cautious person."
Du Ruo reacted the moment she heard the name, the long straight black hair that made Xu Jingmo angry.
She asked, "Isn't she Sister Daiyue's friend?"
Ji Yunbai was puzzled: "Have you seen it before?"
Du Ruo: "Yeah, I met him by chance."
Ji Yunbai was shocked. Something was going to happen.
Explain: "Some friends are made because we are sincere to each other and want to be friends. Some friends are made because we have to be friends."
"Most people can't do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with being rich or poor. Just like Ji Qingmei, whom you met the other day, she is my stepsister. I don't like her and I don't want to care about her. But as long as she has a relationship with my family, even if she makes a big mess outside, I have to care about her. I have to do it when I have no choice."
"Daiyue is a spoiled little princess. She is a little arrogant, but she is not a bad person. She knows right from wrong. Li Mancen is her future husband's cousin. Whether she likes it or not, we will be a family in the future. She should give her enough respect."
Ever since hearing Xu Jingmo reveal the secret that Uncle Xu was an illegitimate child, Du Ruo was no longer shocked by these gossips in their circle.
She was too lazy to sort out the complicated and confusing relationships between the wealthy families. It was so confusing and annoying to listen to.
In comparison, her family is really normal.
Maybe it's because my grandfather is a professor, and my father is one of the first generation of rich people. He started his own business and didn't experience the rise and fall of their families, marriage, and taking sides... After death, people only have a small box of soil, which is fought over and scrambled for. How long can it follow them? No matter how many houses you have, you can only sleep in one bed, and no matter how many clothes you have, you can only wear one set. Just live comfortably. What's the point? It's all for the sake of eating.
Ji Yunbai thought she would curiously ask for some details, but unexpectedly Du Ruo just nodded calmly, "Oh."
He couldn't help but laugh. He had seen countless people, but he had never seen her like this.
No wonder Xu Jingmo and Wen Fei are so obsessed with her. They have no idea what's in her mind.
It's not that she's so cunning that it's hard to figure her out, it's just that her way of thinking is a bit unique, making it hard for people to understand her train of thought.
To put it simply, Xu Jingmo's romantic troubles can be handled by himself, so there is no need for him to meddle in his affairs.
After Wen Fei came out, the three of them continued shopping for the entire afternoon until Xu Jingmo came to find them after class.
The four of them had dinner together. Ji Yunbai treated them all. In order to express his gratitude to Du Ruo for helping him that day, he specially treated them to an expensive French meal.
It is delicious, but Du Ruo has long been tired of it. When she returns to China, she will definitely want to eat more Chinese food.
I can't help but sigh again at the wonderful connection between people.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with Ji Yunbai's arrangement. He invited his friends to eat North City specialties and try local delicacies. The dinner was expensive and exquisite as a token of gratitude.
It's good in every way, except that it's not suitable for her.
Du Ruo tilted her head slightly, her eyes fell on Xu Jingmo beside her, and she realized something belatedly.
It was not accidental but inevitable that she fell in love with Xu Jingmo.
No one would be as willing to make friends with her as he is. He would persist even if she deliberately made things difficult for him. He would take the initiative to make her happy and would be sensitive to any changes in her. He even understood her better than she herself.
If she would like someone, that person would only be Xu Jingmo.
