Later, Meng Gu did not see Chen Ruo Yu again, until one day as he was driving past a big supermarket when he remembered he was running short of food supplies and stopped to make some purchases.

There was nothing special about this supermarket.  Since he was unfamiliar with the layout and could not go directly to the shelves for the items he needed, he had to look slowly and locate the items slowly.  He was throwing a few things into the shopping cart when suddenly he heard a crashing sound which caused a big sudden commotion.  He turned his head around and saw that someone had knocked down the mountain of toilet paper.

Meng Gu’s sharp eyes caught sight of Chen Ruo Yu and she was acting sneaky with guilt written on her face.  It looked like she wanted to bury her head in the pile of tissue paper and it was obvious to everyone that she had done the deed.

Meng Gu smiled slightly. 

This girl is really interesting.  Wherever she goes, embarrassment follows.

He hesitated and wondered he should go over to talk to her just to give her a fright.  The reason for his hesitation was that they could still be counted as friends.  But she was interested in him before and since he was not interested he should not do it so as to avoid any future misunderstanding.  While hesitation flashed across his mind, a family pushed their shopping cart towards him and insisted on squeezing past him.  He was busy avoiding the cart and moved his body into the back row of the shelves.   It just happened that he found something that he wanted to buy and as he was choosing the item, he heard Chen Ruo Yu arguing with an old auntie. 

It turned out that the old auntie was hit by a child and the old auntie had taken the opportunity to scold the child endlessly.  Miss Chen Ruo Yu who could not stand the injustice done to the child came forward.  She stopped the old auntie’s endless scolding and also took out RMB3.50 for the old auntie to go to the hospital for a check-up.  Of course, the old auntie ignored her, turned away and left.

Meng Gu walked out just in time to see the expression on her face that said ~ Fortunately, you didn’t want it.  Happily, she put back the money into her wallet.

Her expression made Meng Gu laughed.  This little miser still wanted to take out her money to flaunt so boldly.

Meng Gu could not control himself and deliberately queued up behind Chen Ruo Yu at the cashier’s counter to talk to her.  When Chen Ruo Yu saw him, her expressions were brilliant and outstanding.

She had obviously jumped with fright but she still acted calmly.  She was somewhat on guard but she acted as if she was at ease.  Her reaction of a little white rabbit disguising as a big black bear made Meng Gu laughed out loud. 

But he still did not understand why this Chen Ruo Yu had suddenly stopped coming to look for him.  Was it that she had figured it out and understood that it was impossible between them?  But if so, when she saw him, shouldn’t her reaction be more normal?

So what was the reason?  Meng Gu felt a little curious.

 

The next time they met again, Chen Ruo Yu was in a bar and she was on a blind date. 

In the past, what was the conclusion he had regarding her?  Oh yes, ~ Wherever she goes, embarrassment follows ~ and it was the same this time.  When other people go on blind dates, they would be shy or would be polite or would be unhappy.  But she was bold and was proudly selling her insurance. 

Yes, she is an insurance saleswoman and it is not considered a good job.  As a doctor, he had seen too many kinds of people.  Therefore, he did not hold any discrimination in the profession of other people.  They were all jobs and as long as they worked hard, it was good enough.

She is an insurance saleswoman but it is not the reason he dislikes her.  There were many reasons why he rejected her. 

First, he felt that she was pursuing him like she was playing a game.  Her attitude towards him was very tense and did not have any feelings of love for him.  He considered himself a serious man and did not want to play games. 

Second, he felt that she and he could not become a couple.  They were two people from two different worlds.  Their personalities, interests, knowledge, family, work and so on, were so vastly different.   He never thought that he could ever fall in love with this type of partner.  At the same time, he did not feel anything for her and it could even be said that they were not even harmonious.  He could still remember the shameful things she had done and she was also not the type he likes.

Okay, he admits that as a man he is a bit particular on feelings and he has a lot of flaws.  But he thinks that if there are feelings than there are feelings and if there are no feelings than there are no feelings.  There is no need to deal with it, no need to force it and no need to put up with it.

In life and work, there were already a lot of things that were beyond his control and a lot of things could be casually accepted.  But he must be true to his feelings and regarding this matter, he can totally be willful and be absolutely true to himself.  He did not think it was wrong of him to be picky about this.

In short, among all the countless women who had pursued him before, Chen Ruo Yu had the worst conditions, the most unsuitable for him and with the gap that was the widest from his favorite type of women.

It was impossible for the two of them.

But he did not mind being an ordinary friend with her.  She should make a good friend and she was very interesting.  She was good to people and he felt that she was acceptable as a friend.

So after he had left the bar and said goodbye to his friends, he suddenly thought of Yin Ze’s coming party and felt he should take this opportunity to express his goodwill to her as a friend.

Perhaps, it was because he had rejected her previously which made her feel awkward, then he should take the initiative to express his goodwill to invite her to join him.  It was also good to maintain a friendly relationship between both of them.  After all, looking at the development between Gao Yu Lan and Yin Ze, in future, he and Chen Ruo Yu would have a lot of opportunities to meet at their gatherings, so it was necessary to improve their relationship. 

He went back into the bar and wanted to tell her about the Yin Ze’s coming party.  But he never imagined that this woman would actually hint that he is a gay with her blind-date.

He does not discriminate against gays and he even has friends whose sexual orientation is like this.  But he takes offense at being slandered without any basis. 

This issue of sexual orientation was related to the dignity of genuine men like him.  Moreover, he considered himself as a man with a big bad temper of a male chauvinist.

Meng Gu had to admit that when he saw her slandering him, he felt very, very angry. 

So he had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with her.  He had even said harsh words and told her that such a person like her who spread slanderous gossip should not attend Yin Ze and Gao Yu Lan’s coming party.  He also told her that Gao Yu Lan should be calling her to invite her and she should think of a reason to refuse otherwise it would not augur well for the both of them.

When he saw the expression of regret and sadness on her face, he felt she deserved it.  Then he left.

After that, he had lost all his curiosity on why she had suddenly given up her pursuit of him.  He rejoiced that such a woman had stayed far away from him and his impression of her had plummeted to the very bottom. 

Meng Gu soon pushed the thought of Chen Ruo Yu to the back of his mind because just as he reached home, he received a call from Lei Feng.  They needed a gaming partner and they were looking for him to play mahjong.  He agreed.  Halfway on his journey, it started to rain and those heartless guys requested him to buy some snacks as supper for them before going there.  When he passed by a convenience store, he went in to make the purchases. 

Unexpectedly, when he came out of the convenience store, he met Chen Ruo Yu again.

What kind of fate is this?

He was surprised and he felt Chen Ruo Yu should feel even more surprised.  She was like a rabbit that was chased by a hunter with a gun.  She was so scared that she rushed out back into the rain. 

However, if one cannot find it, then one cannot find it.  He also did not want to think of her since he would not be having any interaction with her.  The two of them were totally unrelated.

Meng Gu had this thought in mind but Chen Ruo Yu did not leave him alone.

He still remembered that it was a Friday.  It was a relaxing day for most office workers and it was the weekend when one could take a rest.

But for a surgeon, that day was somewhat similar to a war.  On this day, Meng Gu was in a hard battle, and in the middle of the night, there was an emergency surgery.  He had worked intensely in the operating room for hours, and it was three o’clock in the early morning before he was able to go back to his office.  He felt very tired and decided to sleep in the hospital staff lounge.

Just as he fell asleep for a little while and it felt like he had just fallen asleep, his cell phone rang.  He was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and thought that there was another emergency.  In the end, he found the call was from Chen Ruo Yu.

Unexpectedly, it was this woman!

What in the world was so important that she had to call him at this time of the night?!  He hesitated for half a second and eventually picked it up.  He was afraid that she might be in urgent need of a doctor to help on her side and he was the only doctor she could think of in times of emergency.

As a result…….this damn woman was just provoking him!

She dared to challenge him!

She had acted arrogantly after slandering him without even apologizing!  And she also picked this time of the night when humans were supposed to be sleeping and ghosts were active!

After her provocation, she even dared to hang up the phone and switched it off!

That is enough!

Does she have to do this to attract his attention?  Does she have to do this to make him unable to forget her?

Okay, he will remember this!

Between a man and a woman, other than love and friendship, there is another kind of feeling ~ Resentment!
