Volume 1 Chapter 93 Some things you have to face sooner or later
"My grandfather gave it to you? Have you seen it?" Xu Daiyue asked curiously.
Du Ruo: "I've seen him once. This is his apology gift to me."
Xu Daiyue is gossiping, what is the apology gift? ? ?
How could her grandfather, a patriarch of a feudal society, apologize to others? He was enlightened for not thinking that he was hitting a hen with a stick.
I suddenly recalled the day when Xu Jingmo went crazy when he came home, and the guilty expression on my grandfather's face, and it seemed that the reason made sense.
She quickly asked, "Can I ask, how did my grandfather offend you? And how did he apologize to you?"
Du Ruo briefly described how he had deliberately tested her patience and tempted her that day, and then lightly explained that she had won a game of chess against him.
"He disrespected me, so of course he should apologize to me."
Xu Daiyue's eyes were filled with admiration. For a moment, she didn't know whether to admire her intelligence, her patience, or her courage to question her grandfather. She was stunned for a long time and uttered three words of exclamation: "Amazing."
Du Ruo: "Thank you for the compliment."
Xu Daiyue burst out laughing, and found her inexplicably straightforward and adorable. She added, "I haven't thanked you in person yet."
Du Ruo was puzzled, "Thank me for what?"
Xu Daiyue: "Xu Jingmo has sent the file to me, thank you."
Du Ruo was a little confused and didn't understand.
Xu Daiyue seemed to just want to say thank you in person, and didn't notice her doubts. She quickly changed the subject and said, "How about I treat you to roast duck at noon?"
Du Ruo nodded in agreement.
After removing the nail polish and doing hand care, Du Ruo went to the hotel with Xu Daiyue, and Xu Jingmo left school to meet them.
When we arrived at the hotel, Xu Jingmo had already gone to the private room.
The moment Xu Daiyue saw him, she felt inexplicably awkward and didn't know how to get along with him.
I always feel that I am inferior to him. I can't just continue to hate each other like before.
She was still struggling, but Xu Jingmo still ignored her. He stood up, took Du Ruo's hand and sat down, poured her a glass of warm water, and said to Xu Daiyue in a casual tone: "Next time, make an appointment in advance for dinner. Don't suddenly cut in line and disturb our world of two. Do you like being a light bulb so much?"
Du Ruo groaned, coughed a few times, and glanced at him speechlessly. Can you please talk properly?
Xu Jingmo quickly stroked her back to calm her down, then shut up.
Xu Daiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. There was no such thing as emotion, entanglement or embarrassment. She and Xu Jingmo just didn't get along!
She sneered, "I'm treating Du Ruo to a meal, and you're just here for dinner. If you don't want to eat, you can leave."
Xu Jingmo: "Then how can I let my girlfriend be alone with you?"
Xu Daiyue choked and said angrily, "Can I still eat her?"
Xu Jingmo said nonchalantly, "What if you are jealous of me? It's not okay to sow discord between us. People around you love to do this kind of thing the most."
"..." Du Ruo couldn't help but kicked him under the table.
Du Yao didn't understand why the brother and sister talked like that. He didn't dare to talk to them like that.
Xu Daiyue gritted her teeth in anger, "Do I have so much free time to mind your business?"
Xu Jingmo spun his cup and said casually, "Why did you insist on inviting her to dinner? I never said I wanted to have dinner with Li Jiayi, did I? If you rush over, it's not good."
Xu Daiyue had no way to refute it. The first time she wanted to invite Du Ruo to dinner was indeed out of curiosity. She was curious about what kind of girl such an annoying man like Xu Jingmo would like.
But this time, I was just being polite, a friendly gesture, and wanted to get to know you better.
Xu Daiyue: "We are all family from now on. What's wrong with me treating my future brother and sister-in-law to a meal?"
Xu Jingmo remained silent, which was considered as her finally speaking human words.
Du Ruo drank water calmly on the side.
Xu Jingmo took out a mini thermos and some candied fruits from his pocket and handed them to her.
Du Ruo was surprised, "How did you bring it?"
She came out to remove her nail polish on a whim. They had agreed to have lunch at home, so she didn't bring anything with her. She was still thinking about it, so she had to have another meal.
Xu Jingmo: "I got it on the way home. Keep drinking it and get well soon."
Du Ruo took it with a smile.
Xu Daiyue smacked her lips in amazement, wow, it turns out this young master can take care of people, I've never seen such a thing in my life.
Du Ruo was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to find topics to talk about, and Xu Jingmo didn't like to pay attention to Xu Daiyue, so the room was silent for a while.
Xu Daiyue took the initiative to talk: "Sister, how long will you stay in Beicheng? My wedding is scheduled for May 1st. If it is convenient for you, I invite you to attend the wedding."
As soon as she finished speaking, the room seemed to become even quieter.
Du Ruo and Xu Jingmo were almost frozen. They both knew in their hearts that she would go back sooner or later, and they had even communicated about the future.
But I have been avoiding talking about when I will go back.
Parting is always sad.
Du Ruo nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, if I were still in North City, I would go."
Xu Jingmo's face was slightly cold. He looked at Xu Daiyue and said calmly, "Talk less while eating. Be careful not to choke."
Xu Daiyue was furious. She was just trying to communicate. She just said one sentence. How did she offend him? There is something wrong.
Next, Xu Daiyue said something and Xu Jingmo retorted, looking completely unhappy.
Du Ruo listened ignoringly from the side, feeling a little tired and annoyed.
The meal ended quickly with Du Ruo's silence and the smacks of the siblings.
After dinner, Xu Jingmo drove Du Ruo home. When they got home, there was still some time before the afternoon class, and he wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
He pulled her to lie on the sofa and held her in his arms from behind, saying nothing and asking nothing.
I don't want to ask when she plans to go back.
Don't want to listen.
Du Ruo lay in his arms, playing with his fingers for a long time, and then whispered, "Xu Jingmo, I want to go home."
"It's been so long since I returned home. It's time to go back."
I thought I would only be back for three to five days, but I didn’t expect it to be half a month already. Time flies…
Xu Jingmo said calmly, "When do you plan to go back? I'll buy you a ticket."
Du Ruo: "Tomorrow, I can buy it myself."
Xu Jingmo didn't respond, but he tightened his arm around her waist a little and lowered his head to rub her neck.
Du Ruo turned around, facing him, bit his chin lightly, and coaxed, "I'll be back to accompany you on Saturday."
"It's okay. Uncle and aunt haven't seen you for a long time. Stay at home for a few more days." Xu Jingmo pretended to be magnanimous, not wanting to look ignorant.
Du Ruo didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only take the initiative to touch his lips and try her best to comfort him and herself.
She didn't want to separate from him, but some things had to be faced sooner or later.
