Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaotian didn't eat breakfast, only drank a cup of hot milk before rushing to the laboratory.Yesterday, because he wanted to go out to eat hot pot with Chen Qiudi and the others, he froze the cells in the refrigerator. He had to thaw the cells earlier, so that today's experiment could be done. He ran into Jiang Gu in the corridor.Jiang Gu asked him, "Wu Xiaotian, where did you go yesterday? I wanted to wait for your test results today. Today's Lab meeting, Xu Mei wanted me to speak. I called you twice yesterday, but I didn't know what to do. I couldn't find you, so I came to the lab myself in the middle of the night. Don't you stay in the lab every weekend?!"

Wu Xiaotian was holding his breath yesterday because of the quarrel with Chen Qiudi's father and daughter, but after hearing Jiang Gu's words, he couldn't help but burst into anger.He said angrily: "Jiang Gu, I am also a Postdoctoral anyway, and I am not your Technician. Why should I do experiments for you on weekends? Are you my boss?! Even the boss can't let me Going to work!" Jiang Gu didn't expect him to get so angry, he was stunned for a while, and could only say awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Wu Xiaotian, this time it's my fault. I didn't tell you in advance, the day before yesterday I went to San City of Diego. A friend of ours' wife is about to give birth. We prescribed Baby Shower for them."

Wu Xiaotian's anger subsided a little, and he said slowly: "To be honest, I'm not the kind of person who cares about every detail. But if you have something to do, can I be all right? What everyone talks about is just understanding." Jiang Gu said: "This sounds reasonable. What's going on? I don't think you look very well today. Did you get sick yesterday? Or let me do the experiments for these two days." Wu Xiaotian said: "In the past two days, I have been a little angry, not sick." Jiang Gu thought that Wu Xiaotian was still angry with him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to Japanese sushi at noon. Who are we to whom!"

After Wu Xiaotian took out the cells to thaw, there was a gap in the middle, so he went online to find some information.He Ru just called at this time.He Ru said: "Wu Xiaotian, where did you go at noon yesterday? Didn't we make an appointment to go out together? Did you go out with that Miss Judy?! You also said to listen to my opinion." Wu Xiaotian suddenly remembered the date with He Ru on the phone the night before yesterday, feeling embarrassed, and quickly said: "I'm sorry, I drank too much the night before yesterday, so I forgot about it. I went out with Chen Qiudi yesterday, and it turned out to be bad And scattered."

How to say: "Why?" Wu Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, "It's hard to explain in one word. Why, I'll apologize to you when the time comes for the missed appointment!" He Ru said: "What are you apologizing for? I'm meddling in my own business. By the way, in order to increase revenue, the new governor recently ordered strict investigations of those who violated driving discipline. You are not familiar with the situation here. Be careful when you go out, so as not to Got caught." Wu Xiaotian said: "I know. I won't be so unlucky, right?!"

He Ru said: "Okay, you should make up your own mind about your own affairs. However, you must act decisively in everything! I think you are too cautious when dealing with problems, and you will lose many opportunities on the contrary." Wu Xiaotian knew that she was referring to the fact that she asked him to go abroad together before, so he smiled, disapproving in his heart. He Ru hung up the phone. She felt that she seemed to know him better than Wu Xiaotian herself. Ever since Wu Xiaotian was in college, he has been busy trying to achieve a great career and stand out from the crowd.But his indecisive character determined that he couldn't show up soon.The same is true for Wu Xiaotian when dealing with emotional matters.You can't say that he is not specific about love, but when he is really asked to make a final decision, he is always indifferent and unprejudiced, so getting along with him always feels very tiring.It was like this when he was with her, and it's the same with Chen Qiudi now.

In fact, when she accompanied Wu Xiaotian to get car insurance that time, relying on her female intuition and her professional sensitivity, she immediately judged that Wu Xiaotian and Chen Qiudi were not the same kind of people.Although Chen Qiudi looked exquisite in all aspects, he was still not very mature psychologically. Originally, she asked Wu Xiaotian to go out together yesterday, not to revisit the old relationship with him, but just felt that as his old lover and classmate, it was necessary for her to tell him her views on Chen Qiudi. In her opinion, a truly mature woman does not need a man to worry about her, and only a woman who will never grow up is the real stumbling block for a man!Chen Qiudi gave her the impression of this kind of young woman.After eight years of separation from her, Wu Xiaotian's personality is still the same as before, without much change, but he may not realize that innocent things can sometimes become pedantic.Although growing up does not mean maturity, just like having love does not mean being the best marriage combination, but being invariable is indeed equivalent to being stubborn.

In a society like the United States, stubbornness and inflexibility are hard to achieve, including love.Wu Xiaotian is the kind of person who puts too much emphasis on the value of survival itself, but lacks the flexibility to survive.She knew this very well in her heart, and it was also her concern about him.She has always wanted to find a chance to talk to Wu Xiaotian about this, but she was also worried that he misunderstood her meaning. Eight years ago, she used to treat Wu Xiaotian as her elder brother, but after eight years, she felt that he was like a little brother in her heart.For this reason, she felt a little sad. She didn't know if it was because her mentality was getting old, or Wu Xiaotian was still going his own way, doing his own way? !

That night, when He Ru returned home, he felt extremely tired.She was just about to take a good rest when she received a call from Liu Dongqi.Liu Dongqi smiled and said, "He Ru, I'm going to treat you to dinner tomorrow night, we haven't chatted together for a long time." He Ru smiled and said, "I have a bad appetite recently, so I don't really want to go out. But I appreciate your kindness." Liu Dongqi said: "I have already booked a table at a western restaurant near the place where we met for the first time. You have to give me face, you must come!"

He Ru said with a smile: "You seem to be so confident in everything you do! I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?!" Liu Dongqi smiled and said, "I think, you must be willing to deal with a confident man." He Ru was silent for a while, thinking about what Liu Dongqi wanted to do.When Liu Dongqi heard that she didn't reply, he smiled again and said, "I know what you're thinking!" He Ru smiled and said, "If you guess right, I promise you." Liu Dongqi said: "You are worried that I will bring up things other than eating."

He Ru smiled and said, "Don't you have this idea in mind?" Liu Dongqi smiled and said, "Okay, you have already agreed!" He Ru froze for a moment, then understood what he meant.She said: "Since the hospitality is hard to turn down, then we will chat casually and not talk about other things." Liu Dongqi smiled and said, "I don't understand, what other things are you referring to?!" He Ru said: "You should know this better than me!" Liu Dongqi said: "Okay, this matter is settled! See you at eight o'clock tomorrow night." He Ru put down the phone, unable to calm down.Of course she knew that Liu Dongqi would never invite her for dinner, and through a few contacts, she had already sensed his affection for her with the sensitivity of a woman. She felt that Liu Dongqi was quite an honest person, because when the four of them were discussing the marriage between Bai Guo and Jiang Gu at the Casino that day, Liu Dongqi told them that he was a divorced person.However, if an ordinary man is interested in a woman, he will often not disclose his privacy on such occasions.Originally, she just thought that Liu Dongqi was eloquent and had a good temperament, but she didn't expect that his background was so complicated, so the slight liking for him that she had subconsciously cultivated was suddenly discounted. She thought that a divorced man, no matter how good he was, could not be considered complete. She has not had a good impression of men since she was a child. Her parents lived apart in two places when she was a child, and it was not until the early 1980s that the family of three was reunited. However, due to the distress of separation, her father had already become addicted to alcohol and could not extricate himself.Every time he got drunk, he vented his resentment to her mother, as if everything was her fault.Ten years later, her mother got stomach cancer and died. At that time, He He was a sophomore in college. Since then, she has never had any contact with the alcoholic in the family.She maintains her studies by tutoring others and working in restaurants on weekends.That experience benefited her a lot after she came to the United States. She really fell in love with Wu Xiaotian after her mother died in her sophomore year.At that time, Wu Xiaotian helped her a lot and brought great comfort to her broken heart.She also thinks that Wu Xiaotian is self-motivated, handsome, smart and capable. When she graduated, He Ru wanted to study in the United States. She wanted to change her environment and get rid of the shadows deep in her heart.But Wu Xiaotian stubbornly only wants to stay in China to develop. He thinks that only in China can he be like a fish in water with a personality like his.Neither of the two could convince the other, so they had to break up in the end. On the night of the breakup, He Ru cried the whole night.From the moment she stepped on the plane to the United States, she thought that there was nothing worthy of her concern in that land.But unexpectedly, after she really broke up with Wu Xiaotian, she still loved him as always, and she hoped that Wu Xiaotian would change his mind. But after waiting for him for three years, she was finally disappointed. She buried the love that she had devoted herself to deeply in her heart until it finally went out. She thought, could Liu Dongqi replace Wu Xiaotian's ashes buried in her heart?Besides, this is a divorced man! She feels that men are lacking.
