Chapter 34 Dawn - Water Vapor
"Do you like me?"

In the morning, the fog clears, the sun shines everywhere, and the traffic on the road gradually becomes denser. This is the monotonous rhythm of the city.

Not far downstairs from Ren Yu's house, there is an early breakfast restaurant, the signboard is dilapidated, with traces of smoke and fire, and there are many customers.

There is a very old and very old round table at the door. There are three people sharing the table. One is wearing a takeaway yellow vest, and the other is carrying a standard computer bag for programmers. I don’t know if it’s an all-nighter or an early wake-up call. Anyway, they all ate fast. .In contrast, Jiang Limei's pajamas wrapped in a windbreaker look is not too leisurely, it looks like she is going downstairs for a walk and eating breakfast.

She asked for a bowl of soy milk and half a drawer of xiao long bao. The boss smiled sheepishly and said that the soy milk was still being made, and the xiao long bao still needed 15 minutes. Do you want to change it to tofu nao or small wontons?

Jiang Limei frowned: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, it will be done later."

It just so happened that she needed time to sort out her thoughts. This morning was like a war, and her mind was full of mud.

The time moves forward by one hour.

An hour ago, she was still at Ren Yu's house.

"Do you like me?"

Jiang Limei admitted that she was joking eighty percent of the time when she asked this question.The remaining two points are indifferent inquiries.

Whether you like it or not, no matter what the answer is, it is the same for her.

She is determined, absolutely, definitely, that nothing will happen to Ren Yu.

and so.

"Do you like me?" Jiang Limei smiled lightly, just like the glass of sweetened water on the table, cool and refreshing.

She gathered the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears:
"Doctor Ren, you shouldn't be a person who can fight with others. I understand your care for me when I was in the hospital as the care of an old classmate, but I can't think of a good explanation for my fight. Why don't you give me a good explanation?" Me alone?"

She looked into Ren Yu's eyes, which were full of indistinct darkness. The sun was rising over the balcony, and the golden orange sunlight shone in. It was very bright, but she couldn't see through Ren Yu's eyes.

Ren Yu didn't speak, but just looked at her silently, his cheekbones tensed, a sternness she had never seen before.

This period of silence made Jiang Limei feel chills in her heart.

Come on, it's over.

Some questions are scarier to have no answer than to have an answer.

She wished that Ren Yu would nod, and then jokingly tell her some quotes from scumbags, and then everyone would have a laugh, and then post this article, and no one would mention it again.

Ren Yu will not.

He doesn't take jokes.

Jiang Limei found that Ren Yu was really in line with what she had imagined of him when she was in school, a stubborn and stubborn academic bully who treated everything as if it were an exam, and was meticulous and serious.

But the matter between men and women, once serious, can't end.

Jiang Limei coughed lightly, drinking water to avoid his sight, and when the glass was emptied, she also managed her words:

"Doctor Ren, I'm not implying anything to you," she pinched the empty glass: "What I mean is, I thank you for your help. Doctor Ren is very moral, but you are ... easily misunderstood."

"So what did you misunderstand?" Ren Yu finally spoke.

His water didn't move much, so that the male voice was like a dry and split net, thin and hoarse.

Jiang Limei managed to turn the atmosphere into a humorous and relaxed direction, but was dragged back by Ren Yu.He didn't have any expression, but made her look like a messy bastard.

There was a drum beating in Ren Yu's heart. He crossed his fingers and pressed his thumb firmly on the tiger's mouth of the other hand. The main artery was not there, but he felt a strange pulse-like vibration.

He stared at Jiang Limei's moist lips, and swallowed:

"So, you have not misunderstood."

"Doctor Ren" Jiang Limei waved her hand, wanting to interrupt.

"Jiang Limei, you have not misunderstood, I like you, indeed."

Jiang Limei wanted to scold her mother.

She couldn't look directly into Ren Yu's eyes, the expression was too clear and serious, what's more joking is that she took off his glasses with her own hands, now without the cover of the lenses, not only the expression is clear, she can even feel that There is a real temperature in the eyes.

It was warm, it was hot, and it was separated from his cold appearance, like the morning sun outside the window.

Still not giving up, she tried to turn things around, stared down at her fingers, and the fingertips lightly tapped on her knees, and laughed twice dryly:
"That's really a big thank you, Dr. Ren. I do have many friends of the opposite sex who have a good relationship. I can't help it. I also have a university senior who recognizes me as my younger sister. I also attended his wedding last year. We .”

"Jiang Limei."

Ren Yu spoke again, cutting off her nonsense:

"I like you, not as a friend, nor as a sister, but a man's liking for a woman."

He paused, and even slowed down again:
"Is that enough to understand?"

Depend on.
Jiang Limei exhaled and raised her head:
"OK, Doctor Ren, I received your like, do you need any feedback?"

I can't give you any feedback.

For a smart person like Ren Yu, if he uses a fraction of his college entrance examination results to explain this sentence, he should understand it very well.

Seeing Ren Yu's eyes turn from warm to cold, Jiang Limei habitually reached out to hold her glasses. It was a nervous little movement, but she raised her hand only to realize that the glasses were not on the bridge of her nose.

She pursued the victory: "Ren Yu, do you still remember that I am your brother's ex-girlfriend?"

She licked her lips, and there was still a residual sweetness:

"That's your own brother. We are each other's first love. We have been together for several years."

"But you have also been separated for many years."

Even longer than the time we've been together.

Jiang Limei naturally knew that she tried her best to give back to Ren Yu with a serious attitude. At least, she had to explain clearly, but she didn't want to hurt him:

"Doctor Ren, even if I have no fate with Ren Xun, it doesn't mean that I can accept his twin brother. I can't be with you. I can't face a face that is exactly the same as my ex-boyfriend every day without feeling sad. Distracting thoughts, this is not fair to anyone, do you understand?"

Ren Yu's hands got together again.

Jiang Limei has actually observed it many times. As long as he is anxious and nervous, he will clenched his fists tightly. She is not in a hurry. The result is destined, so it doesn't matter to give him some time.

There was silence for a minute and a half, to be exact, 87 seconds, Jiang Limei counted the points one by one, and after that, Ren Yu finally responded.

He frowned slightly and pursed his lips slightly: "I understand, but I don't accept it. At least, you should give me a chance."

Jiang Limei smiled, feeling very helpless: "What chance is there for you, Ren Yu, this is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. As long as the process is infinitely extended, the development of things may not remain the same. This is objective and scientific."

"Don't tell me about science,"

Jiang Limei sighed:
"Doctor Ren, I don't like you. Human feelings can't be explained by science, right?"

She didn't want to speak too bluntly, because the truth would hurt people, but she was as stubborn as she was, and she would get rid of him as if she were ruling out wrong options.

She can only tell the truth, and then send a boring good person card.

"Doctor Ren, thank you very much for helping me and standing up for me. We will be good friends, but at most they are just friends."

Right from this sentence, the temperature in Ren Yu's eyes changed again. It was cold just now, but now it is cold full of crushed ice.

cold and empty.

Jiang Limei admitted that she felt a little compassion.

Over the years, she has never had a boyfriend by her side. She has a good appearance and an interesting personality.Eat and drink men and women, get together and relax, just be happy.

Does Ren Yu meet these criteria?
of course.

Apart from her personality, which she doesn't know very well, she is also considered a good date.

But no.

Jiang Limei scolded herself for a sin in her heart, then stood up, and the beige pillow on the sofa rolled to the ground as she got up.

She bent down to pick it up, put it back in place, and glanced at Ren Yu, as if she was still in a daze, not knowing what to think.

From then on, until she went out, Ren Yu didn't say a word, just followed her silently, and wanted to drive her home.

"You haven't slept all night, you're hurt, it's not safe to drive, and I want to be by myself, is that okay?"

Jiang Limei felt that she had touched Ren Yu's fate, so she had to tell the truth in everything, even if it hurt others.

Sure enough, Ren Yu stopped in his tracks and did not follow her. He just opened the door halfway and watched her after her. Qing Juan's figure was not tired, as if he had never slept through the night.

It's just that when Jiang Limei went down a flight of stairs and looked back at the corner, Qingji's shoulders by the door slumped slightly, and when she noticed her gaze, she straightened up instantly.

There was also a small furry thing on the ground.

After the guests left, Ren Yu's cat finally dared to show its head and stood at the owner's feet, looking at Jiang Limei's back with four eyes.

Just because of this scene, Jiang Limei's mood dropped instantly, and she couldn't explain why.

Rejecting others is obviously very simple, Jiang Limei is very proficient in business, but today she encountered difficulties with Ren Yu for no reason.

Once you talk about feelings, it's really annoying.

"Come on! The soy milk is ready, be careful it's hot!"

The boss yelled, and brought a bowl full of soy milk, which was steaming and dispelled Jiang Limei's worries. She needed a hot breakfast to temporarily numb herself, but as soon as she lowered her head, her eyes blurred instantly.

Jiang Limei took off her steamy glasses, held them in her hands for a while, and then sighed heavily.
