The thing Lin Ruoxi fears most in her life is gossip.
But what is she afraid of? What will happen!
The red and swollen ankle improved after a period of training, and I can basically move freely without strenuous exercise.
Lin Ruoxi felt that she was born to work hard, but after only staying in the dormitory for a few days, she felt so depressed that she felt like she had hair all over her body.
At noon that day, Lin Ruoxi and two other girls in the dormitory went to the cafeteria to eat. As soon as the three of them arrived at the jogging platform at the junction of the fifth and sixth floors, they happened to bump into two girls who had returned from an outing.
Those two girls were in the same nursing department as Lin Ruoxi, and they happened to live downstairs. There were frequent frictions between the two dormitories over trivial matters like hanging clothes dripping. Moreover, the overall atmosphere of the girls in M University's nursing department was one of coquettishness and openness.
, these two people are all kinds of leaders, Huang Ying and Han Shanshan have always disliked them, and have been at odds with each other for a long time.
At this time, they met on a narrow road, and both parties couldn't help but froze. Then the two girls gave the three of them a cold look, turned around, and turned towards the corridor on the fifth floor.
In fact, it's nothing. Originally, enemies were extremely jealous when they met and hated each other. Who could give the other a good look? But when the two groups passed each other, the two girls glanced at Lin Ruoxi inadvertently.
, and muttered "Fox!"
Then as he walked inside, he said something strangely, "I thought I was so clean and noble, but I'm just a worthless person..." The voice was not loud, but just enough for people to hear.
Lin Ruoxi didn't pay much attention after hearing this, she just didn't care. She has been looked down upon a lot since she was a child, so what does this little gossip mean?!
But Huang Ying's personality has always been bold and fiery. When she gets angry, she turns around and chases after someone to argue with someone.
"What do you care about them!?" Lin Ruoxi quickly stretched out her hand to hold her, and smiled reassuringly, "It's someone who has a big mouth, no matter what you say, we can't control it!"
"You have such a good temper!" Huang Ying's eyes widened, as if she hated iron and steel, "They say you are in trouble, but you can bear this!"
"They didn't mention their names. Just because you chased them doesn't mean you confirmed who they said you were?!" Lin Ruoxi squeezed her hand hard, with some gratitude in her eyes, "Just think they mean it."
They can do it themselves!" Huang Ying said "fuck", "Sometimes I call you stupid, but you always have some weird theories. When I call you traitorous, you seem to be stupid, and even if you bully me, you won't say a word!"
"She is so open-minded and wise as a fool! Unlike you, you are not a lady at all!" Han Shanshan smiled and patted Huang Ying on the shoulder.
Huang Ying glanced at Lin Ruoxi and lowered her shoulders in frustration, "Anyway, I can't learn from her beating her to death!"
Lin Ruoxi smiled and said nothing. She was not broad-minded, she just had to be patient. Because once she got into trouble, she didn't have the capital to deal with the aftermath.
"Xiao Linzi is more popular than you!" Han Shanshan took Lin Ruoxi's arm again, looked at her with a meaningful look, and then took the lead to step down the step, "Okay, let's go. We will sit in the canteen in a while.
All gone."
During the meal, Han Shanshan sat opposite Lin Ruoxi, seemingly hesitant to speak. She wanted to say something to her several times, but finally swallowed it back.
Finally, when she raised her eyes and glanced at herself again, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but said, "Classmate Shanshan, if you have a crush on me, just tell me!" She said with a bitter smile on her face, "Always
I can't stand being so talkative."
"Puff...", "Pfft..." two sounds sounded at the same time.
As soon as Lin Ruoxi's words came out, the other two people on the table spat out what was in their mouths. Then they lay on the table, laughing so hard that their shoulders shrugged and they couldn't straighten their backs.
After laughing, Han Shanshan wiped her mouth and said, "Lin Ruoxi, let me ask you something. I don't mean anything else, so don't worry about it."
"You ask, I don't care."
"Are you familiar with Xiao Shuai?" What she actually wanted to ask directly was: Are you dating Xiao Shuai?
Lin Ruoxi's face froze for a moment and she said softly, "It's okay." At the same time, she sensitively thought of the attitude of the two girls from the nursing department just now. Xiao Shuai is a popular lover of M University, and she has become quite close to him recently.
There must have been a lot of gossip.
Han Shanshan looked hesitant, "I saw you two walking together several times and thought you two..."
"Thought we were together?" She took the next words and denied: "No. We just met on the road and we just walked together." To be close, it should be that he introduced her to a part-time job once and then recommended her.
I just went to Qu Bainian’s laboratory.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt that her heart was blocked and she was not very cheerful. So she smiled and teased her and said: "What's wrong? I'm in love, and I fall in love with Xiao Dacai? And then I'm jealous? And then, you won't want me.
I’ll give you my love!”
"Go!" Han Shanshan feigned anger and slapped her, "I'm telling you seriously!" Then she said seriously, "Ruoxi, do you know that Xiao Shuai's father is going to be promoted?"
Lin Ruoxi looked at her and waited for the next sentence.
"Xiao Shuai's father, Xiao Zhengguo, is the health director of City C..."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned when she heard this. She knew that Xiao Shuai had some family background, and she always thought that he was just from a scholarly and high-end intellectual family, but she never expected that he was from an official family.
Han Shanshan saw her unnatural expression and said, "You don't even know this!"
Lin Ruoxi swallowed and said, "I really don't know."
"Oh my God! I really admire you." Han Shanshan stroked her forehead, and then continued: "Recently, there is news that there is a vacancy in the provincial department for a deputy director, and it is said that Xiao Shuai's father is the best candidate!"
Lin Ruoxi said "Oh", her eyes full of confusion. No matter how good Xiao Shuai's family background is, no matter how high his father's official position is, what does it have to do with her?!
Han Shanshan sighed and spoke with some seriousness, "Ruoxi, I don't mean anything else. We have lived together for four or five years, and we all know who each other is."
"I just want to say that no matter whether you are dating him or not, you must leave a place for yourself in your heart. For a child from a family like Xiao Shuai's, the path he will take has been arranged early on. Moreover, the higher his father's official position, the more likely he will be.
The more difficult it is to cross the threshold of home. So... the most important thing is to protect yourself..."
The dining table fell silent, and for a moment, the surrounding noise seemed to be isolated from the outside.
The two knew that Han Shanshan had a boyfriend when she was a freshman. He had a good appearance and good character, and it was said that his family had a good background. But it was precisely because of family reasons that the two had to break up in the end.
That was Han Shanshan's first love, so she was very involved in that relationship. But in the end, she was just bruised and bruised.
Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, holding the chopsticks tightly with one hand, and lightly scraping the table with the other hand. She understood Han Shanshan's worries and was grateful for her kindness. But she was determined in her heart... She
She doesn't like Xiao Shuai, she didn't before, and she won't in the future. She has always understood the gap between the two, so she will not be hurt by love like Han Shanshan, nor will she be hurt by falling in love with Xiao Shuai.
It's just that Lin Ruoxi was too young at that time and didn't understand such a truth... Many times, unless you are firm in your heart, you won't be hurt!
"Um... Ruoxi..." After a moment of silence, Huang Ying spoke softly. She looked up at Lin Ruoxi with a rather unnatural look on her face, "I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Say it!" Lin Ruoxi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and her intuition was not good.
Sure enough... "Ruoxi, I went to self-study some time ago, and I heard someone talking about you behind your back, saying... what..." Huang Ying stuttered first, swallowed, and then plucked up the courage to speak.
In half a sentence, "Say you are being taken care of!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Han Shanshan immediately patted Huang Ying, but failed to stop what she said next, "Those people said they saw you being hugged by a man and getting into a white Lexus one night. There were also several times when you were hugged by a man and got into a white Lexus.
He got out of a high-end black Land Rover and was very affectionate with the man inside." He paused for a moment and then whispered: "Actually, I saw him once at night. I just thought he looked like you.
, but I think it’s impossible.”
Every time she said something, Lin Ruoxi felt her breathing become tighter. She sat there with a pale face, feeling bitter in her heart. One Xiao Shuai was not lethal enough, and now a more powerful one was added!
It's true that 'good deeds never go out and bad deeds travel thousands of miles'. In fact, there were three times in total. Twice Tang Hongxuan sent her back. Once Aken hijacked her and got into the car. It happened that everyone saw it, and the news spread vividly.
"Ruoxi... those who are gossiping, don't listen to their nonsense!" Han Shanshan looked at her bloodless face and couldn't help but worry.
"I'm fine." Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and relied on the pain to dispel the dizziness. "Huang Ying, you are indeed wrong. If I knew such a rich person, why would I work so hard?" She said reluctantly and rushed out.
He looked at the two of them with a nonchalant smile, "As I said, what they want to say is their business, I just need to understand it myself! I..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
It was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, she pressed the call button. Then, before she could say "hello", a strange and deep voice came from the other side...
"Lin Ruoxi, I am Xiao Shuai's father."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned and said quickly, "Hello, uncle!"
The people over there were not polite, and after a false response, they said directly: "Is it convenient now, little girl? I'm right outside the M gate. If it's convenient, could you please come out? I have something I want to talk to you about!"
