She actually didn't want Wang Hai to leave. After all, it was very awkward between her and Ouyang Yu. If Wang Hai was here, she and Gu Ouyang would not be so awkward.

In fact, Lin Ruo had thought about this matter silently in his heart before. She was thinking, Ouyang Yu was very kind, maybe he was just concerned about her, or maybe Ouyang Yu had some sort of feelings for her …

It was just that she did not expect Ouyang Yu to be the second scenario she had guessed. The moment Ouyang Yu had confessed to her, and she found out that Ouyang Yu was interested in her, she finally realized that she was actually terrified. She was actually trying to escape from reality.

In fact, overall, Ouyang Yu was a very outstanding man. He was gentle and sincere to others, but it could be said that there were no flaws in his body anymore. For such an almost perfect person to be able to protect him, it would be very, very, very blissful. But when Ouyang Yu confessed to him, the moment he personally told him that he liked him, Lin Ruo realized that he didn't feel joy at all other than surprise.

Lin Ruo, why are you so weak? Weren't you always so brave? Why did she cower at such a time? Just as Lin Ruo was struggling silently in her heart, Ouyang Yu, who was sitting opposite of her, kept looking at her.

Ouyang Yu looked at Lin Ruo, and her shocked expression. He gently laughed, and spoke with even more determination: "Lin Ruo, I really love you. It can be said that I fell in love with you at first sight. From the day you entered the Mayo Hospital, I discovered that my heart had started beating. It started beating because of you, and before I saw you, I had never felt such a feeling. After I saw you, my line of sight couldn't leave you anymore. Actually, I didn't plan to say it out loud in the beginning. I wanted to stay by your side and silently protect you, knowing that you would discover my good fortune. But it was only when I heard the gossip about you that I realized I had to express my true intentions to you, and I didn't want to see you put up with it all by yourself. I knew you weren't the kind of person they said you were. "

"Ouyang Yu, you …" Lin Ruo raised her head and looked at Ouyang Yu, who was standing in front of her. After hearing his words and hearing that he believed her, Lin Ruo's heart finally felt a sense of warmth, and she suddenly felt that there were still people who believed her.

In truth, when Lin Ruo had faced the crowd's gossip and accusations, although she had told them that she could not be affected, when she saw the faces of those people, she had really wanted to cry. However, she knew that she could not, the more cold she was, the more she could not let others see her tears, and the side of her weakness.

"Lin Ruo, I, Ouyang Yu, like you, really like you. I want to protect you. I want to be the person you truly like. The person you love. " Seated opposite to Lin Ruo, Ouyang Yu, he stretched out his hand, lightly grabbed Lin Ruo's hand across the table, and then held it tightly, giving Lin Ruo a reliable and warm feeling.

Lin Ruo was lost in thought as she looked at the pair of hands that Ouyang Yu held tightly to his chest. Ouyang Yu's hands were as warm as his person, giving his a sense of familiarity and warmth. But she knew that she couldn't rely on Ouyang Yu, she couldn't promise him just because he was warm. Thinking about that, Lin Ruo immediately took back her hand.

Lin Ruo looked at Ouyang Yu sincerely and said softly, "Ouyang, you are a good person and a very reliable person, but I'm sorry, I … I can't be with you. " After Lin Ruo finished speaking, she felt apologetic and awkward. But Lin Ruo knew that she had to say it, even if it would hurt Ouyang Yu.

"Lin Ruo, what are you saying?" Ouyang Yu felt a little hurt after hearing what Lin Ruo had said. He was unwilling to accept the fact that she was rejected.

Lin Ruo knew that she had deeply hurt Ouyang Yu. She tightly clenched her hands under the table, as if she had made a great decision, and raised her head, meeting Ouyang Yu's puzzled eyes. She pretended to smile: "Ouyang Yu, I think what you just said was just too sudden. I was taken aback by your words... You're a good person, but I don't think you and I are suitable. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. "

Ouyang Yu wanted to know the reason for his rejection, he wanted to find something out from Lin Ruo's line of sight, but he couldn't find anything. The two of them were stuck in a stalemate for a while, Ouyang Yu's heart was slightly sad, but he suddenly thought of something, and very quickly, he thought of the reason.

"Lin Ruo, the reason you rejected was because of the boring gossip in the hospital last time right? Could it be that you heard rumors that someone told me that Wendy is a couple last time? "

Lin Ruo looked at Ouyang Yu, his heart in panic. She didn't know how to explain it to Ouyang Yu, so she didn't say anything, and didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Lin Ruo, I can explain this matter to you clearly, I am not related to Wendy at all. Indeed, Wendy had taken the initiative to confess to me before, and most people in the hospital probably know about this matter as well, but I must tell you this: I did not agree to Wendy's request. Of course, Wendy and I also do not have any ambiguous feelings, we can only be ordinary colleagues, and not man and woman friends at all."

Ouyang Yu was trying very hard to explain to Lin Ruo. He held onto a glimmer of hope, and thought that if he could explain it to her clearly, Lin Ruo would believe him, and she would agree to interact with him. Therefore, he was in a rush. However, after Lin Ruo finished listening to her explanation, Lin Ruo did not agree to meet with him. Instead, she felt that it was a bit unbearable, because Lin Ruo did not want to hurt Ouyang Yu.

"Ouyang, listen to me. I didn't promise you to date, it's not because of you and Wendy, and it's not because of rumors either. "I am …" Lin Ruo hesitated, bit her lips, and said in a low voice in the end, "It's my own reason, it's … "It's because I …"

"Lin Ruo... "Why?"

"Ouyang Yu, this fact is too sudden, I think we should all consider it seriously, after all, marriage is not a joke, and as a woman, marrying you is a very happy thing, but I have no other intentions towards you, you are worth it for someone better, I do not want to hurt you, so, sorry …" He did not want to see the expression on Ouyang Yu's face. He did not want to see the expression on Ouyang Yu's face, so she quickly ran out of the restaurant.

"Lin Ruo... Lin Ruo, listen to me, Lin Ruo... "

Ouyang Yu stared closely at Lin Ruo as his voice sounded from behind him. Ouyang Yu wanted to catch up to Lin Ruo but in the end, he could only see her back. Lin Ruo heard Ouyang Yu's voice, but she did not turn back. In one breath, she ran to the side of the road and looked around, hoping to find a taxi. Finally, the front lights of a taxi lit up, Lin Ruo anxiously blocked the taxi that was passing by. When the taxi stopped, she quickly rushed forward to open the back door of the taxi and got in.

Lin Ruo got on the car and quickly told the driver her address, then urged the driver to quickly drive away. She did not dare to turn her head to look, because she knew that Ouyang Yu was still chasing after her.

Very quickly, Lin Ruo reached home. After giving the driver the money, Lin Ruo got off the car. Only then did she remember that her son and mother had gone to some other city to travel. Her aunt also went back home on leave, causing the entire room to sink into darkness, she did not turn on the light, and only she was left alone. The room was quiet and desolate.

After what happened just now, her legs were as heavy as lead, and she instantly collapsed on the ground. Everything Ouyang Yu said before echoed in her mind, and those words were carved into her mind like a nail, word by word.

Suddenly, Lin Ruo heard the sound of the engine, she quickly climbed up, she wanted to know if it was Ouyang Yu. She went to the window and gently pulled open the corner of the curtain. From the window, she saw a familiar car.

Lin Ruo knew that that car was Ouyang Yu's.

Ouyang Yu stopped the car and got out, but he did not immediately go and look for Lin Ruo, instead he stood in front of the car for a moment, which Ouyang Yu did not know what to say. He did not dare to ask Lin Ruo questions, as he was afraid that Lin Ruo would escape again, but he was still unwilling. Ouyang Yu took a few steps towards Lin Ruo's residence, but hesitated for a moment. There was nothing he could do, Ouyang Yu returned to the front of the carriage and stood there, but his gaze was still fixated in Lin Ruo's direction.

In the end, Ouyang Yu did not have the courage to look for Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo finally closed the curtains and did not look at Ouyang Yu anymore. Instead, she chose to directly return to her own room. She powerlessly entered the room, closed the door, collapsed onto the bed, pulled away the blanket, and used it to cover her head. She wanted to use this method to make herself forget about what just happened, to not remember the things that had upset her.

Just like that, Lin Ruo cast aside all these troublesome matters, laid on the bed, and quietly stared blankly. After who knows how long, her phone suddenly rang.

The moment she saw the contact person on the phone, she was startled for a moment, because the name on the phone's screen was Ouyang Yu. She did not answer, because she did not know what to say to Ouyang Yu, and what to say, she could not give Ouyang Yu any hope.

The phone continued to ring until it stopped ringing because no one answered.

After calling several times, Lin Ruo still did not choose to answer the call.

After a long while, the sound of the voice broke the dead silence, Lin Ruo still did not look at her phone, and after a while, the voice came out again, Lin Ruo still did not look at the content of the message.

The short message stopped for a while, and not long after, Lin Ruo heard the sound of the engine of the car starting up. Lin Ruo also stopped in shock, and was pulled back to reality by the sound of the engine. Is he leaving?

Soon, the sound of the car leaving could be heard.

Lin Ruo lifted the blanket, got down from the bed, walked to the window, and gently pulled open the curtain. Seeing Ouyang Yu helplessly getting into the car, his leaving figure gradually disappeared from her line of sight.

He's gone! Lin Ruo personally saw Ouyang Yu leave.

After Ouyang Yu's figure disappeared, Lin Ruo reached out to grab her phone. After unlocking the phone, she found the message, it was from Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu sent three text messages! Each text message was separated by tens of minutes.

"Lin Ruo, are you there? I see that your room is dark. If you receive a text message, can you reply to me? Maybe what I said scared you. I'm really sorry. "

"Lin Ruo, you know how to call me, okay? "I know I was a bit anxious and didn't think too much into what I said just now, but this is indeed the truest thought in my heart. I like you, I really like you, I'm serious, I've fallen in love with you."

"Lin Ruo, I know that what I have said might cause trouble for you. You might be scared by what I said and you will become flustered. In short, I was too anxious, but can you consider it? I'm serious about you. Tomorrow I'm going to France to have a seminar on biopharmaceuticals that might take me a while abroad, and I hope that when I get back, you'll be able to think it through, not run away, and give me an accurate answer. "

Lin Ruo felt that she had read a few of Ouyang Yu's text messages for a whole century.

Looking out of the window, the stars in the sky were shining brightly. At this moment, only Lin Ruo was still awake.

Lin Ruo felt that today was the saddest day, because she knew that today, she had hurt a friend. A very good friend.
